GEMS4U — Local services in Wilmington

This is Fran Kleiner. I'd like to respond to the negative reviews by Josiah Romesh and Shania Hershberger.

I really question your experience with wraps and your insulting review of GEMS4U. You obviously have never seen or purchased one of Mary's exquisite wraps. My daughter and I own many of them, and travel from NJ every year to visit GEMS4U to see and buy more of her beautiful creations. We exclusively wear Mary's jewelry and are complimented over and over again on the pieces.

Mary is the most talented and genuine person you will ever meet, and she treats all her customers like family. She doesn't have a rude bone in her body.

My advice to you Shania is treat other people the way you wish to be treated. You were obviously the rude one by refusing to wear a mask in Mary's store. If you have ever lost a friend due to COVID (and I have), you would know why Mary is asking her customers to wear a mask while...

I am very experienced when it comes to custom wire-wraps. I wire wrap, myself. I have to say this shop was an extreme let-down. I went in with my significant other and we were hassled by the owner. She kept going on and on about how her daughter did this and that. Not ONLY that- one of the worst parts - the crystals. They are scattered about on a table, at random. There are no labels, nothing to tell you what the stone/crystal is or what properties it possesses. It's literally a table of rocks. Another thing I would like to add- all the wraps she has displayed are not labeled either. They don't have prices on them and it doesn't say anywhere on the box or on anything what kind of stone it is.. A 5 year old could "wrap" what the owner calls "wraps." Honestly the saddest store I've been to in my entire life. I wanted to put my loose change in a...

Mary and her mom are wonderful people. I've been in twice within the last seven days and my collection has grown substantially - I've added 3 pendants, multiple mineral samples, and various cut gems. They're hospitable, offering water and candy to shoppers in addition to conversation. They'll help you find the perfect gift, for yourself or someone else. GEMS4U offers a large collection of raw mineral/crystal specimens as well as cabochons and faceted stones in various sizes. Their work comes in various forms - wire wraps (rings, pendants, bracelets), chokers, bracelets, and an assortment of make your own jewelry. Mary will even help you select a stone and then wrap it based on what you want. The Sedcieski's are good people, with a generous and loving spirit - it's now my #1 stop for...
