I had been carrying around a very cheap but well-loved little ring that was broken. Took it in to Howie, a raised in Brooklyn, a little rough around edges but SUPER knowledgeable Gemologist. He said it really needed new prongs but I didn't want to spend that kinda cash on my cheap little gem. He said he thought he could reset the stone for $30. Yay! Please fix. This is a nearly 100% yellow gold store, which made me a little sad as I am a WG/.925 SILVER kinda girl. HE BUYS GOLD! He fixed my ring, told me to be gentle with it. I ran home, gathered up my yellow gold and went straight back. While Howie checked out my gems and did Calculus Calculations, the adorable Tati and Olivia entertained me and I taught them new phrases. Remember, Olivia...that candy dish is poison "a moment's pleasure on the lips, sits forever on your hips." Got way more for my gold than I expected; had so much fun. Three new friends today and hopefully, some more WG/.925 on the horizon. Their YG collection is FABULOUS. SORRY....way too long. Worth the drive if you...

I never write reviews, but if I could leave a zero star I would. I took in a 14kt gold cameo ring to get sized, was charged and took a week. When I got the ring back it was not sized at all. But was charged. I took the ring back and they said the jewler must have overlooked it, but that they would take care of it. Well they did, to the point that the ring has started to crack. I took it to another jewler and will now cost 3 time the original cost to fix the mess these people made. I will NEVER bring anything else to this jewler. I didn't even know that they send their repairs off site....

Everyone at Carob is awesome, Katie, Diana, Kris, Maria and their former jeweler Howard. I have been very pleased with my purchases, all unique pieces. They have been wonderful about layaway items and are very patient. I have an item in consignment they have taken very good care of and listed with the respect this particular piece deserves. If you’re looking for an interesting piece you won’t find anywhere else, this is the place you’ll want to visit. I visited on a whim and now they’re my go-to jewelry store. Always a pleasure to look at what’s new and to visit with them. Thank...
