Suzanne Dines

Workmanship is fine, but the lack of communication and attitude is awful. Won’t go back.

My go-​to place for pearls, especially, but any jewelry really. I’ve been buying, fixing and redesigning my jewelry, and gifts, with Suzanne Dines for 30+ years — from graduated strands to monster baroques, if you dream it, she can make it. Best prices. Best service.

Suzanne makes beautiful pearl and gemstone jewelry. She made me a pair of custom stud pearl earrings — she made tons of great suggestions while we shopped for the right look, including the button-​style pearl, which cost a fraction of the price of rounded ones and actually sit better on my earlobe. She matched the hue of the pearl perfectly to my favorite necklace, and is always fun to talk to during the process. The finished product was beautiful — these are my new go-​to earrings. Way better than buying a stock set from a department store. And the price is right! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

I went to this jewelry place a few months ago, it was highly recommended by my friends. I was looking for a pair of beautiful earring for my mother birthday present. They has wide verity of pearl, with many different pretty design. The owner Suzann is berg knowledgable about pearl and jewelry. She is very sweet, friendly, she help choose out a beautiful necklace for my mom and an earring. The price is reasonable, I will definitely coming back and tell all of my friends about this place if they are looking for a pearl specialty shop.

Suzanne makes absolutely gorgeous and original jewelry of the highest quality. She does wonderful custom work at reasonable prices. She treats every customer as if he/​or she is her most important customer. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Suzanne is fantastic– I have worked with her twice and with great results. She made my small custom order seem like a top priority at her shop! I will recommend her anytime.

This is the first time I have written a review on Unilocal but was impressed by my experience today and thought it deserved a thumbs up.
I went in to Suzanne after finding her business via a Google search. I had a three stranded set of faux pearls — and one of the strands had come loose at one end. I went in to find out what she recommended — whether the problem area needed special attention or whether the whole thing would have to be restrung. I appreciated her honesty — essentially, she recommended that I tie it off myself, apply a little glue to the knot and cut it off. This effectively meant she advised against her services for the moment. I left with my necklace and without having spent a dime. I was impressed by her frank assessment of my options and the fact that she also outlined potential challenges with the restringing (likely the necklace would come out shorter as the knots would be finer, etc.). It seemed like she was telling me truthfully what she herself would do in my situation and I appreciated that she did so even though it ultimately translated into no business for her at the current time.
I say «at the current time» because, impressed with her approach, I will return when the necklace actually does need a full restringing.
