6901 22nd Ave N STE 884, St. Petersburg“I came in looking for a gift for a friend of mine and found the cutest crystal chime! It’s perfect! Sandra was also great at the register! Appreciate all the vibes in here!”
“Amazing staff and owner! They made my jewelry look brand new! Necklace I've had for a years they polish and cleaned looked amazing when they were finished with it! Gave them my mom's ring that Ive had since she pass in 18 I was nervous to get it up but they had all the settings checked and it look like brand new like the day my dad I got for their 25th anniversary I was in tears! Couldn't be happier!!!!”
“I love Arnold’s. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, amiable, and patient. I always visit Arnold’s first when hunting for valuable and unique adornments. They have everything from exquisitely preserved currency (I even saw several Krugerrands), to perfectly polished gold and silver, to beautiful gems of all kinds (I bought an Alexandrite gem here, which no one else in town had). Plus, Arnold’s prices are consistently fair, I always get the precise value for the item whether buying or selling. There are also a couple of gems at Arnold’s of the human variety. First is Delores, she has been serving people at Arnold’s for as long as I have shopped there. She is the kindest and wisest jeweler I have ever encountered. I always look for her because she is a great human being who helps me find the exact piece I am looking for. Lastly, Arnold’s brilliant and experienced craftspeople in the back perform miracles with broken jewelry. I needed a family heirloom altered before Christmas morning and I dropped it off three days before. Despite the showroom being full, Arnold’s staff accepted the challenge. Two days later, my jewelry was masterfully repaired and ready for pick-up. My entire family is grateful for the good people and vast selection inside Arnold’s Jewelers, shopping with them is a real treasure.”

9601 Bay Pines Blvd, St. Petersburg“It's been a few years now since I reviewed this establishment. They have truly earned the right to be revisited. Reading what I penned below, I really wouldn't change anything! KONSISTENCY IS KING! Nothing to change. Except, perhaps Huey. He still doesn't like my hat. I've even tried bribing him with stuffed toys..Read On...Over 60-plus years as a passionate enthusiast of things that sparkle, I've had experiences with hundreds(probably thousands by now) of Coin Dealers and Jewelers. There are only a handful that I would recommend as fair and honest. Among them, I would include Walter and Tony at St. Petersburg Jewelry and Coins as high-integrity members of the numismatic community . Having already endured to share in their success, both possess the rare quality of actually caring more about the buyer than the buck No surprises here. You can buy with confidence.”
“Golden Sails did a great job repairing my ring - they fixed a prong and replated with rhodium in one hour at a reasonable price. My ring looks like new! Thank you :)”

300 Corey Ave, St Pete Beach“My favorite shop on St. Pete! Full of one of a kind finds from local artists, makers, and collectors. The store is set up like an antique store with booths from different vendors and is full of gorgeous beach themed decor and furniture from some wonderfully talented local sellers.”
“Really beautiful store! A boutique shoppers paradise! You’ll love the personalized attention! A must visit on our trips to Florida. Fairy Stephanie is amazing too! Get your fairy hair done while shopping for a whole new look!!”
“We went in to the store with an issue with a purchase. Barbara and her associates were anxious to make it right and we walked away extremely happy. All of the associates went above and beyond to make sure my wedding set was exactly what I wanted. They definitely earned our future business”
“John Cline, the owner/operator of Florida Gold & Loan absolutely knows his business. I recently purchased a beautiful 14K gold ring for my daughter. The price was reasonable. The care he took to ensure it was polished and in a beautiful velvet ring box confirmed how much he cares for his customers. While I was there, several people (obviously return customers) were willing to wait in line for John's expertise and experience. This place is truly a gem among Florida small businesses. I highly recommend it.”
“Artistic home two is a cute little shabby chic, consignment shop. Has all sorts of talent from wall-to-wall. I enjoyed walking around and seeing all the beautiful handcrafted pieces. From a picture to hang on the wall to a headboard. It is larger than it looks. 3 to 4 rooms to browse. This is a must stop on your shopping list if you’re looking for a gift for a unique friend. Or maybe just an afternoon of enjoyment ?”
“I just got my most recent order and it was like opening a Christmas package! It came in a most timely manner and the products are excellent - can't wait to create with them and order more. I love Antelope Beads.”

2401 W Bay Dr Suite 118, Largo“Many of you might find what I’m about to say to be rather strange…but I don’t own a single piece of jewelry…and that includes not even a watch.However, that has NOTHING to do with my review.As a tenant in the Raymond James Office Park complex where GESNER JEWELRY is located, I have gotten to know Elaine and her daughter…and in my acquaintance with them, I’ve come to respect them as truly authentic and “honorable” individuals; people you can very much feel comfortable with in dealing with either purchases or sales of importance regarding current or future articles of value.And I tell you this, because today, with ALL of the “overselling” of items and services that goes on with the increasing speed of our ever-advancing technologies…that it’s actually harder than ever now to find professionals whom you feel you can trust in and believe.However…as I said, right in the beginning…I’m NOT a gold or jewelry person…but I’ve always wondered that IF I WAS (and many people ARE)…just HOW would someone decide about the honesty of those business you might be dealing with.Well…ONE way is to read reviews of people who KNOW and have personal experience with them…and I’ve DONE just that, after getting to know Elaine, and coming to understand her personal thoughts and values about business…and life.And GESNER ESTATE JEWELRY has EXCELLENT reviews.So…IF (someday), I might be fortunate enough to have to decide to “make a purchase” of A “special” ring…(and I believe you know what I’m talking about)…the very first person I will be talking to about that…is Elaine Gesner.And that’s because I know that I can TRUST her to help me make the correct and best decision for the occasion.”

1350 W Bay Dr, Largo“Visited Belleair Coins yesterday, and was helped by Russell/buyer. What a wonderful, well informed young man. It was clear that he has lots of knowledge in the gold and diamond field, I'm sure Chris was one of his mentors. I was pleased with my deal, Russ is a keeper, I will be back and happy to have him help me again. Great business, been coming to Belleair Coins for decades. Thanks.”

10401 Seminole Blvd, Largo“I went here to have an engagement ring and necklace made with stones that I bought in Afghanistan. The jewelry turned out awesome and beautiful. I worked with Laura and would absolutely recommend this place and her to anyone who is looking for a jewelry store. Laura was very responsive and even came in on her day off so that I could bring my girlfriend in to see some stuff. 100% recommend this place.”
“3nd time visiting this store for repairs on eye glasses and watches. Very honest service and reasonable pricing. Hard to find this type of service with retailers these days when many companies want to just upsell or charge for unnecessary service. Support local, with a family owned small business.”

“So glad I found this boutique! Alittle off the main shopping street of Gulfport, Sail has a wide variety of beautiful outfits to fit every taste from funky to sophisticated. They were so accomodating and helpful in finding something just right for me. The selection was great and the prices good. I will definitely will return!”
“I found As Above So Below (Cass) on tiktok, i was never into the whole "Crystal" thing till i actually started buying from them last year, Cass, Janine and their team are amazing and treat everyone with respect. You can always count on Cass for a great mystery box. Im from Canada and will not order anywhere else.Thank you Cass and Janine for the over the top work you both do <3”
“Amber and Domic were fantastic! Needed money to help due to new job and Amber made it happen! The only place to go if your short on cash and need help. Amber is a lifesaver went the extra mile to make sure she could help me customer service like that is hard to find these days!”

“The best little shop right next to the beach! Camille was so wonderful & helpful. They have beautiful jewelry, paintings, etc. all handmaid by local artists. I will absolutely be back!”
“I had a ring of my late brothers that I wanted sized so I could wear it. They did a perfect job of sizing it and polished it so it looked brand new. Also had engraving done. I dropped the ring off on Monday and received a call Tuesday evening that i could pick it up the next day.”
“Carol made such a great impression on me on my first visit to the shop. She explained how my rings should fit & what she would have done. She gave me pointers on what to ask the "big box" store that I purchased my rings from regarding resize. When the big box scoffed at my request, I went back to Carol & Roger. They took care of my rings and they are PERFECT. They have a customer for life ?”
“We have found K&K Jewelers a few years ago and could not be happier with the quality of work and service. We have walked away happy and satisfied every time, whether it's fixing, remaking, or polishing jewelry. And it's owned by very friendly and warm people. Very much recommend for any jewelry needs.”
“Alex runs a beautiful shop on Madeira Beach (my favorite beach) teeming with incredible art made by him and his wife. After speaking with him for a short while, he blessed me with some beautiful gifts and a trade for one of my amethyst geodes. Please stop by Alex’s lovely menagerie.”
“I visited The Bronze Lady yesterday as I do every time I’m at the Pass. The difference was Tracey!!!!! I can not say enough about her. Genuine customer service and sale’s experience. She did not hover over my husband and i, she just jumped in to graciously help when she knew we were ready. She made our experience a great one!! 5 stars for her and 5 stars for the shop!”
“The ultimate definition of buying local is smalltime dealing with our neighbors. I still prefer the 50 year old Park Street location but it looks as if our local flea market is making a comeback. The original Pinellas market was a victim of COVID. There are well over 100 regular people selling their old stuff. There are many farmers market type vendors as well. I'm strictly a buyer, though I dream of unloading a garage full of unwanted things I have managed to collect in my lifetime. With all of my friends going organic, whatever that really means, I'm ashamed to admit that I go there for the end of the day vegetable deals. Most fresh fruit tody won't be next weekend. At the last few hours on Sunday you can strike a good bargain. So, I wear my rosary beads and wash my vegetables well.”
