Hot Jewelry Box — Local services in Ridgewood

A friend turned me on to Hot Jewelry Box. I complimented her on a diamond pendant she was wearing. She shyly told me where she got it and that she paid $12.99. I couldn't believe it.

It’s disheartening to support a small business only to have your kids profiled and treated this way. I hope they take a hard look at how they treat their customers, especially young ones who are trying to shop independently and...
