Love the owner. Very strong and wise lady. Family owned shop, and she has been working there 55 years. She seems cold at the beginning but she’s really patient and friendly, allow you to try everything but never push you to make a decision. We discussed how to change the size of my ring, she had really strong and professional opinion, just listen to her , you are in good hand. Very very nice collections and you can trust their experiences.

I visited the shop June 2022. I ended up buying a lovely 1970s emerald ring. She was able to resize it that day! If I visit Amsterdam again, I will definitely stop by this store.

We love this shop. The owner couples are very charming, we bought a few things and I can tell you the prices are very good. They have many beautiful and unique jewellery and watches. We had a very pleasant experience for shopping here. I recommend you must browse the shop when you visit Amsterdam.

Perfect view of a beautiful piece of antique and always willing to provide an explanation. Never the compulsion to buy, customer friendliness and knowledge at its best! By the way, I'm not related.
