Carolyn Yost Estate Jewelry and Stonington Antiques Etcetera 148 Water Street, Stonington, CT 06378

"We have a friend who owns a ring that my wife likes, it would fall in to the 'travel jewelry' category, if I understand the term. I attached a picture of the ring, I'd be interested to see if you have something like it or can get something close."

"Carolyn came to our home when we put it on the market. She took several items to her shop to consign. We had no contract because we knew her family and trusted her. BIG Mistake! She always had an excuse about why we didn't get any money from items that sold. Then No Contact at all for a couple of years and then has the nerve to send me information about buying Avon products. Thought I was done with her. As far as reviews go a one is to high!"

"Dropped off items to consign years ago. Never got a call, never any money and ignored messages. Was not alot of money worth of items, however still very unprofessional. Would absolutely not recommend them"

"From the time we walked in, from the time we left, we were amazed at the exquisite inventory that Stephen had in his store. He treated us with the utmost respect. He also spent a lot of time with us answering any questions we might have. I left with the most beautiful pearl necklace and earrings I have ever seen. We live in Texas, but will always plan on visiting Stephen at his store every time we visit Connecticut."

"The store is really beutiful and they have an excellent selection of loose gems and jewelry. However the gentlemen who is the owner who began as being very nice quickly became extremely rude when I kept asking him what certain items cost. He said to me: "Are you going to keep asking what things cost? Or are you going to actually buy something?" When he said that I was so taken aback. I came to his shop to buy something for my wife for our second wedding anniversary and was planning on spending between $3,000 to $4,000 on a piece of jewelry. Who buys something without knowing what it will cost first? I ended up not buying anything. My wife who was in ear shot of what he said to me walked out of his store because she was offended. I sadly will not be going back to this store. I will take my business to Black Orchid right up the street instead."
