116 Montowese St, Branford“Loved this cute little store! The shop owner was very friendly and helpful. She has a great selection of a little bit of everything. Jewelry, candles, coffee mugs, coastal things, sweets, sea glass art, is just the beginning of the list! Mostly everything sold there is handmade by local artisans. I was able to find the perfect gift for someone who has everything. A beautiful coconut bowl that the owner hand selected while in Thailand. Seems like every item there comes with a great story. While I was checking out she even offered to gift wrap my purchase which was just going above and beyond. If you get the chance do yourself a favor and check this place out.”

567 Main St, Branford“I recently got my daughter’s ears pierced with Charlie he did my older daughters as well when she was a baby. I can’t say enough good things about my experience he was very precise with the placement of the marks before piercing her ears. He does one ear at a time so she can have a break in between! Everyone there is so friendly and attentive! I highly recommend them for any of your jewelry needs!”

1235 Whitney Ave, Hamden“I can always find something to read at Books & Co and the price is right! Most books are in excellent shape. Plus, with trade credit it makes the price even better. Also, in addition to books, they sell both coffee and bakery items and a variety of small gift items. My kids are somewhat obsessed with their section of small unique toys (fidget spinners, squishy animals, etc) so it's a no-brainer to come here for birthday gifts and stocking stuffers. Highly recommend.”

Walking into this store is like walking into a time capsule; There is so much to find you could get lost for hours trying to spot everything! The merchandise is well taken care of, despite the sheer amount of merchandise the store is easily navigable and open, and the staff are polite, courteous, and knowledgeable about many of the wares' history!Overall, even if it's just to immerse yourself in the beauty of the past, this store is worth stopping into! Everything is fairly priced, and there's a clearance rack that pops up from time to time!”

499 Campbell Ave, West Haven“Mike the owner is the nicest guy and has a beautiful selection of reasonably priced different jewelry pieces. I purchased 1 ring last year that I'm very happy with and just purchased a beautiful emerald ring yesterday.”
“This is a wonderful place. This is a family owned business. His repairs he has done for me were phenomenal. Jewelry prices everywhere are based on the prices of precious metals. Every purchase was in a nice jewelry box. Mike is always going the extra distance. I had a ring that I wasn't sure what the stone was and he willingly checked it for me. It turned out to be a lab created stone. The department store I bought it from, the tag said stone.”

Their prices are fair and their customer service is stellar! I have brought them pieces to repair, sold them old jewelry, and brought family from out of state with their needs too. They ship! Do not hesitate to visit them. If they don't have it, they'll help you look. If they can't fix it, they will tell you the truth.”
“I’m so happy my husband and I picked Joe to work on my engagement ring and wedding band. He did an amazing job! I’ll be forever grateful for all the hard work he put into it. He was able to match my wedding band perfectly with my engagement ring, exactly how I wanted it. He’s a very talented jeweler.”
