What's on the wall
“I recommend this shop to anyone who might have something to sell or is into nice vintage items and rare coins.”
“If you’re looking for a jewelry and antique consignment shop that has high standards and competitive prices to buy or sell, this is the place.”
“-repairs, designing an item, and/or finding something interesting to purchase, there is no reason to go anywhere else.”
What players say again and again
“I got a fair price and the owner explained his process and how he gets to a place where the customer is pleased with the price.”
“Not only did I get a great deal but the owner Boris took the time to help me pick out the perfect pair of earrings.”
From the reviews
BEST PLACE AROUND!!!! Honestly. I had an old family emblem that was in need of repair. No matter where I went, I was given outrageous quotes. When I went to Art Carl, I had the pleasure of talking to a really nice young man named Boris.
AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!! Excellent customer service, nothing but positive things to say about the business. We regard the staff and the establishment as ethical, competent, and reasonably priced.
Boris is the nicest, most honest person I have had the pleasure of doing business with in a long time. I went to him for jewelry repair/design and with a specific budget. Boris helped me make the perfect selection, even suggesting not to do things due to my budget and value.
We bought our engagement ring here and not only is it my favorite thing I've ever owned, but working with Boris was one of my favorite shopping experiences. We wanted a vintage ring that was unique and Boris helped us to find the perfect one. We recommend him to all of our friends.
Selling or trading gear at Art Carl Jewelers & AC Loan
Art Carl Jewelers & AC Loan comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
