Lousy Customer Service

I went to shop around for my mother at this place. The owner or who ever was behind the desk was very unwelcoming.

Great jewlery

Great selection of Victorian, Edwardian and Deco jewelry.

The staff is VERY friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I'll definitely return.

They have what you're looking for

I was looking very hard everywhere for a diamond engagement ring. After a long search, I was unable to find the vintage Edwardian filigree ring I so desired, especially not cheaper than 10K. I had a friend recommend BrandX and as soon as I walked in I knew they would have it. She herself had found a vintage art deco ring with beautiful sapphires and center stone. I myself after talking the two owners ears off found an exquisite vvs center stone, a vintage filigree Edwardian ring. Wow, exactly what I was looking for. They even had enough beautiful items that I even considered something else for a while before deciding. Through the whole process Fred and Tim made me feel very comfortable and I found their attitude to be quite pleasant and charming. Not only were the gentlemen very helpful they even saved me $250 in taxes. I look forward to becoming a repeat buyer and will get the wedding rings from here with out a doubt.

• Pros: Great vintage collection, great prices, great service
• Cons: Only vintage, so no custom pieces, closes a little too early on weekdays

A collector's heaven in the Castro: Jewels, fine art and magical treasures you'll never find elsewhere.

In Short
Customers tuck in their shoulders and move carefully down two narrow aisles, gazing glittering items on the bulging shelves of this antique shop. The eclectic offerings include everything from museum-quality, stained-glass window panels to Degas lithographs; a soft sculpture of a hirsute hippie or a vase of exquisite ostrich feathers; tiny Chinese snuff bottles and the original, painted centerfold from a vintage gay magazine. The large estate-jewelry section is high quality and full of bargains.

Not Worth The Attitude!

Watch out for the catty shop owner! He's rather unpleasant and stuck up.
