GEMS4U 10 North Front Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

"They sell rocks and crystals jewelry. In the back right corner are the loose rocks. They even have sharks teeth. Also have the rounded stones that are as big as a golf ball. Very friendly atmosphere."

"This mother/ daughter owned place is the best. Their handmade necklaces are gorgeous and very reasonably priced. The owners are the sweetest people. When my daughter broke the necklace that I bought her (she's 5 and rough on belongings, my fault for giving it to her too early), they fixed it for me. They had a great selection of crystals and stones in addition to their jewelry."

"Looking for the perfect gift to give someone special. Look no further then GEMS4U. Exquisite Merchandise that is extraordinary quality with no comparison to any other gem store. Customer Service has no comparison to any other store because it is not lacking in anything. But nothing short of spectacular service. Simple but exquisite gift to a Mother that is far away but you want to touch her heart! GEMS4U is the place to search for simply the best gift!"

"The best jewelry store in Wilmington! Everything is unique and handmade. Most of the items are made in store or are locally mined. The owner and staff are very hard working and will take requests. I wanted a piece of lapis wire wrapped with a wolf charm on it for sentimental reasons and I got exactly what I wanted. They offered free water and chocolates too which made me feel very cared about. I had mentioned it was my anniversary and the woman checking me out( I'm so bad with names!) gave me a drawstring bag of unpolished decoration/filler stones as a little bonus! I cannot wait to come back next time I am in Wilmington!"

"It's pretty apparent from the moment you enter this place the love and care that Mary has for that which it is named... gems. There is something for all tastes here, from beautifully crafted original pieces of jewelry to raw specimens and everything in between. The thing that I think impressed me the most was the fact that Mary knows everthing under her roof to the point that she can even tell you where those specimens were found. If you are feeling artistically inspired they also have a charm bar where you can create something of your own. Most certainly worth checking out!"
