They were highly recommended to me but are honest people. They didn't want to possibly ruin my ring and took the time to explain the process. I was very grateful for their honesty even though I wasn't able to have my ring taken care of by them.

Every time I have visited this shop, it's been an awesome experience. It's my favorite thing to have a day off, go for a hike and visit this shop for a ring to represent and remind me of my fun times there. The woman and her man are always so genuinely sweet with all around good vibes. Can't wait to go back again! :)

Hi there, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to contact you about the negative attitudes that were expressed by one of your employees. On Thursday around 4:45pm, my friends and I walked in to your store and overheard one of your employees going on a rather homophobic conversation with one of her customers. The conversation circled around how she hated how the rainbow had been co opted by the LGBT community and that they had desecrated God's creation(the rainbow). First off, the native peoples whom you appropriate for your own profits revered the two spirit peoples of their tribes; these two spirit people would be considered part of the contemporary LGBTQIA+ community. Secondly, while many native tribes were forced by the colonizing white man to adopt certain Christian traditions, overall, the word of the Christian god has been nothing but a plague over the indigenous North American peoples, so the entire conversation is simply inappropriate to be held in your shop. Finally, this employees hateful rhetoric cost you the business of 6 customers who were initially very interested in your business. The local community of shops which you are a part of touts the importance of love, and I believe you should do the same at your shop. Enjoy your day, and consider following Gods word, and loving thy neighbor and sharing all of his creations with all of his people.

I've made two stops here during trips from LA to Palm Springs- definitely worth a visit! New inventory every few months and the name of artist is listed on the piece. You are purchasing authentic Native American jewelry. The couple who runs this place are filled with stories. Very knowledgeable and stock a variety of pieces and will even resize a piece if they can.

I was looking online for things to do in Oak Glen since we were planning a visit. I was so happy to see that there is a turquoise shop there and that there is a resident jeweler (Stan Tibbets). I had a turquoise watch that needed repair and a turquoise ring that needed to be fixed (I had stepped on it). These are important items to me, so I was hoping he could help me. The shop was a little crowded, and I was worried he might not be able to help me (two-hour drive up there from home). To my delight he said that these were easy fixes and took care of my pieces right then. Not only that, he recognized the design on my watch and told me about the artist (I later looked online for this artist- thank you, Stan!). He told me no charge, and only asked that the next time I go to Oak Glen that I consider buying something from them - no hard sell, no making me feel guilty. That was so nice. I told them that I had gone to the shop also looking to get another piece of turquoise jewelry. They had a nice selection, and I was looking for particular styles. so they brought them out for me. I also liked that they had tagged the pieces with the artist names. I bought two more (spent more than I had planned, but am very happy with my purchases). Both he and the lady there (Sorry, don't remember her name) were extremely nice, and did not pressure me to buy anything. I'll definitely visit that shop every time I go to Oak Glen, and I do recommend them.
