BARKER'S ANTIQUE JEWELRY

I was looking for a special engagement ring for my wonderful soon-to-be-fiance, and searches in the mall and stand alone stores had left me uninspired. I did not want to order a diamond off the internet because I had no way of really being sure it was what it was advertised to be. I came to Barker's after finding their website and seeing the selection of unique vintage jewelry. I had a limited budget since I am a college student, and the staff was extremely courteous and professional in helping me find what I was looking for. I ended up getting a vintage style white gold band matched with a very nice loose diamond they had. I never would have found the combination on my own since the band was originally set with a different gemstone. The staff do not receive commission so I never once felt pressured to buy. Once I had found the perfect ring they were very accommodating when it came to financing, working around my college job payment schedule and personal circumstances. When the time came to pick up the ring before flying out to see my fiance over Christmas I checked and found that the ring size was not correct. They re-sized the ring that very afternoon and had it ready for me to pick up that same day. To sum it up, Barker's offers a wonderful selection of actual antique jewelry along with vintage style jewelry covering a large range of budgets. Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, and you get the personal attention of a small, privately owned shop as opposed to one of the big box operations in the mall with limited selection. If you are looking for something classic, or a little different then the bland selection at common jewelry stores, I highly recommend checking Barker's out. I am one satisfied customer and you might be too. http://barkersjewelry.com/ is their website.
