“Fawn was so sweet the entire time, not only helped me decide which side to pierce my nose but switched out a needle cause she thought it wasn’t straight enough, def 5 stars!”

“They were very responsive to my e-mail inquiry and genuinely interested my business. It was very easy to sell to this shop. Their buying price was very close if not better than the online buyers. My payment was ready the next day, and it saved a lot of grief trying to sell it online. Will definitely return!”

“Came in just to get a backing for an earring and was not disappointed. Everyone in the shop was friendly, and was able to help me in a quick manner. The shop is small, but the shop is also extremely clean and pleasing to look at. Will definitely be coming here for future piercings :)”

“Very welcoming vibe. They were attentive and ready to answer any questions while not being overbearing, and I was in their store for a while ? when I did need help, they were very kind and we had a great conversation.”

“Lovely store with amazing handcraft and unique jewelry! Visited while on vacation and got a ring as a momento. Weeks later, my ring had a teeny tiny crack in it. I contacted Mountainside and Cassie quickly helped me out! I returned the cracked ring and was shipped a replacement within a week.Fantastic customer service - they really care! Can't wait to stop by and pick up more momentos next time I'm nearby.”

“super cute art store in the heart of capitola... my friends and i stopped by en route to the beach and loved what we saw here, lots of custom greeting cards, paintings by local artists, mugs, jewelry and clothing branded with capitola. some of the actual artwork was very unique, symbols and things that i hadn't seen in other art stores. the ladies working there were super sweet, very friendly. hours are a little limited though, they only open wednesday - sunday, 11.00-17.00 (closed on monday & tuesday). as far as parking, there is limited street parking, but your best bet is to park in the city parking lot about a block away.”

“I love this local, artistic, unique, store. So many wonderful items to select from. I appreciate the pottery, baskets, silks and candles. Of course jewelry! Wonderful hats, scarfs, and handmade birdhouses. Thank you for supporting the local community during events. (Wine Wander, World's Shortest Parade, etc.) I am enjoying my most recent purchases. Many thanks!”

“Volunteering here is easy, fun, and grounding. Simply show up during hours, sign a waiver, and you're good to go. Its so peaceful and beautiful here. It's honestly a great idea for a date to volunteer here together. I love going on the weekends just to weed for a couple hours with my partner and friends.”

“What a wonderful shop! I went in, not knowing what to get for my sisters for Christmas, but I quickly found perfect gifts. The selection of jewelry, decorations, and gifts from local artists was fantastic, the staff were friendly and helpful, and they even wrapped my gifts for Christmas! I'll definitely be back.”

“Very well curated products and plants. Mostly inspired by Scandinavian and local design. Always worth a visit when spending time in Santa Cruz. A nice and helpful owner and team.”

“About a year ago my sweet puppy got a hold of a very fragile ring given to me by my grandmother. Thankfully he didn't swallow it, but he totally mangled it. The ring is over 50 years old and was given to my grandmother as a birthday gift from my grandfather when she turned 40. I was heartbroken and was told multiple times that it would be very difficult or near impossible to repair because of how thin the band was and how delicate the setting. Greg at Stephan's Fine Jewelry examined the ring thoroughly and talked me through two options to repair it. I appreciated how honest Greg was with me about expectations for both options, and how careful he was in examining the ring. I ended up having the band replaced and the setting repaired and reset and I couldn't be happier with it. Greg is a master of his craft and I'm glad I ended up taking my grandmothers ring to Stephan's. I will absolutely use and recommend them for fine jewelry repair moving forward. Thank you Greg! And everyone who I chatted with at Stephan's - the staff is so kind. Pictures of before and after are below. It's hard to see how truly ruined it was but it's a small miracle the diamonds stayed intact. The prongs were partially twisted and the band was about to break from how thin and chewed it was.”

“So exciting to have this new boutique in Aptos Village! It's such a fresh addition to the sweet little historic area.. bringing in really stylish and high quality clothing for anyone in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond! The style is like trendy upscale coastal, so you can find great pieces that look so chic, but also aren't fussy. The styles are youthful, but sophisticated. Many of the brands she carries are made in Italy, and she really pays attention to the quality. And the rest of the store is filled with adorable home goods and accessories, great for finding girlfriend gifts! The owner Wendy is so nice and has amazing taste! If you've been meaning to stop by this new shop, do it already! You will want to leave with one of everything :)”

“Outstanding artwork by Phoebe ! I have purchased a few opal pieces from Phoebe and some sea glass jewelry for my girlfriend. Phoebe is always extremely helpful and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her jewelry. Make sure to visit her store when in town you will not be disappointed!!”

“Such a great spot in Santa Cruz! Adore the variety of items they have here. It's the perfect place to treat yourself or find gifts for others. Love that they have mini variety options of some of their staples for gifts. They have a mix of local makers as well here, which is always nice when you want to shop local. Everyone here is always super sweet and they also host events sometimes too which is a blast! Highly recommend!”

“This place is great, my wife took an old gold bracelet that wouldn't stay clasped. She knew it was gold and not plated, as that is what she buys. we couldn't find a kart stamp on the bracelet so we were not sure of the gold quality. The person working the shop had no problem taking the piece and testing it. When he returned he informed us that the bracelet was 18k and carefully explained what he offers for gold and gave us some alternative methods for maybe getting more for it. We understood his offer and took it. We felt was very good offer. It was a great transaction and we can highly recommend this business. We'll be back”

“The shop owner was absolutely lovely. She had such amazing energy, really helped us with what we needed, and very knowledgeable about crystals. I loved that they also sell palo santo and sage ❤️”

“They did a fantastic job on my rings!! 4 years ago I had my son, and after his birth I thought my fingers would go back to pre pregnancy size. Unfortunately they did not and I wasn't able to wear my wedding and engagement rings since. I put off getting the rings resized up because of a variety of factors. My mom recommended this business as a excellent place for resizing. I am absolutely in love and my rings are so mirror like and so we'll polished it feels like they are a brand new set. Thank you for such an amazing job! I feel so confident wearing my rings again. Highly recommend!”

“The service was great, friendly and knowledgeable about all types of jewelry and designs. Also have repair services with trusted jeweler. Must go and see. The prices charged were fair for the pieces we got. Made a rainy day shine.”

“I stumbled upon this unique and cute store while going clothes shopping with my gf next door at Amber Moon (one of her favs) and found my experience delightful. Not really knowing what kind of products they sell, I was happy to find beautiful fair-trade jewelry and a cacao bar. The jewelry is gorgeous and a lot of it had cool geometric designs which I thought looked awesome (lots of triangles and eyeballs). They also sell healing crystals which I do not know a whole lot about but the staff there was happy to share about their positive energy benefits. The thing I was most excited about was their ceremonial cacao though because this was something I had heard great things about but had yet to have the opportunity to partake in. I asked about what makes it a ceremonial cacao and was told that part of it is in the harvesting of the cacao and how the people involved in that process understand the sacred nature of this spiritual plant. You are free to have them make you a warm cup of cacao to drink there (they have a couple of seats outside) or they sell it by the brick for you to take home (I think the cacao brick is around $60). There are a few different options when ordering that has different tastes and health benefits. To be honest, though, the flavor of the cacao is similar to earth. After an interesting explanation of what cacao is and the different benefits associated with the combinations of flavors offered I decided on the Mama Amor that I was told helps to open up the heart space and promote healing. The other option I ordered was the elevate that I was informed helps to raise vibrations, but not like caffeine which tends to be short-lived, but in a more mellow, sustained kind of way, and I was not at all disappointed. Before drinking my cup I said some positive affirmations and a few prayers and I almost immediately felt my heart full of love and my energy being lifted into a place of positivity, healing, and gratitude. To be truly objective after a few great visits I did bring my gf here to share the experience with me and she did have a terrible reaction which included her being sick. However, she told me that she would like to go back and try the cacao again in the not-so-distant future. In the meantime though, I will enjoy stopping by occasionally to browse the gorgeous jewelry, sacred crystals and attempt to open up my heart space with a cup of ceremonial cacao.”

“At least a couple of times I've had watches repaired and/or resized here, and they've always provided good service, quite fast, a good combination of friendliness, politeness, and professionalism, and for a decent price.I have a piece of jewelry that needs to be repaired, and I'll check with DW first; I'm curious to see, and hopeful about, how the experience with the jewelry side of things goes.”

“I love this store! The jewelry is gorgeous! The stones are cut to shine with light, and are so beautiful set in handmade settings! It is so refreshing to see jewelry that embraces natural stones in artistic settings!”

“I looked all over Santa Cruz county and surrounding areas for a gold turtle or dragonfly charm for my wife's birthday, and couldn't find either anywhere. I called about 14 more jewelry stores from Los Gatos down to South of Aptos, and no luck. Finally, I called Don Roberto in the Macy's mall in Capitola, and they had two turtle charms and a dragonfly charm in gold! I bought both a beautiful gold turtle with an emerald on its shell, and a white & yellow gold dragonfly with diamonds, and she loves them! And the women at Don Roberto could not have been nicer.”

“As they name of this shop implies, this business offer a very nice array of Antiques and Collectables. They are located right in the heart of the Santa Cruz Shopping District on Pacific Avenue. So, they are easy to find. And, of course, there is tons of parking surrounding this area, so that should never be a problem. Once you walk into the store you will find tons and tons of all kinds of stuff. Items like their jewelry and small things like that are keep in glass cases, so they are easy to look at and study. And, of course, they will take them out for you if you want to analyze them closer. Plus, they have all kind of others things. A never-ending, always changing variety of all kinds of antique items. One of the fun things that I saw at this shop on my last visit was they had a great collection of Asia orientated magazines from the 1950s in excellent condition. You never known what you will find! The prices here are very reasonable. This is one of those shops that you can go into and buy that very unique gift or purchase that something that you never knew you needed.”

“I had a wonderful experience at Scott’s Valley Jewelers. It was my first time visiting with my cousin to look for a wedding band. We were warmly greeted by Thomas and then shortly after treated to Turkish coffee and sweets. My cousin was looking for a less traditional wedding band and after trying a few rings we settled on a the right wedding band for her. Thomas also shared about all the customization that can be done to the band. It was a wonderful experience and we are so happy to support a local business. Thomas was a delight to work with full of personality and very kind.”
