Abigail's Jewel Box

Go someplace else. These two, Jeff and Zee are crooks. They won't discuss how they arrive at a price once the items are weighed and they bicker with you like you are in a pawn shop. If you question them on anything, they are liable to sling your items at you and insist you leave, which I have witnessed. Their jewelry is way overpriced for a retailer on the secondary market selling used goods. Go someplace else and don't deal with these two shysters. \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r \r more

Keep walking. Don't bother going here. They are unpleasant and dishonest. If you want a fair price, look up the values of what you intend to sell prior to going and go someplace else. There are lots of wonderful places that will give you a fair price for your jewelry, especially if it's in good shape. Try Becker's in Hartford or one of their other locations. Even Tom's in New London is better then these people. Notice they don't even list their names as owning the place on any of their ads? Makes you kind of wonder??? Take your business elsewhere. I am sure you'll be happy. Good luck and keep away! more

I don't understand what the bad comments are talking about! They handle my jewelry with care and offered me great deal on my stuff. It really is a wonderful place to go to, if you ever get the chance make sure you go there! more

Way overpriced, they would never sell or buy for even close to value. I've heard that from other people too. I called to have 10 pieces of jewelry evaluated, estimate of worth, I was willing to pay for an appraisal on each piece. Jeff say's ""Sure come on in Ms."". I go out of my way to get my stuff packaged up and bring it in to him. His employee unlocks the door for me at 11:30, sign says ""OPEN AT 11:00"". He flings my jewelry around on his desk, which is in the middle of the showroom, like it's junk and proceeds to lead me to the exit. He tells me he has to charge me about $100.00 Quote ""Not for me - I don't need money but my friend does"". Then opens the door and tells me I can come back at 12:30 cause he has to open up, locks the door behind me, doesn't even say ""Bye, or see you when you get back."" I wouldn't give this guy money if you paid me! He made me feel like a piece of (too polite to say)! Pros: Nice on the phone Cons: Definately better than you are more

You can get better service at a pawn shop. Owned by Jeff and his sister Zee, you will experience politeness on the surface and then look out. I had a gold plated ring re-sized. They charged not only a high fee, but returned the ring in silver with the excuse that his plating machine was broken. The jewelry they sell is incredibly overpriced and if you are selling gold or jewelry, go somewhere else. They will give you less than ?Vinny Goomba? on the corner. They will never give you market price for anything as they NEVER bring out the current tables for gems and metals current market prices. Pros: They are polite to your face Cons: Poor service, overpriced products, no tables for buying more
