Got a beautiful pendant necklace here. Jay was great to work with and very reasonable prices.
As much as I am not thrilled to see all the jewlery stores in towns, this one, "Gold Rush," is local and family owned. I bought an awesome sterling totem pole necklace there. The owner was great to work with.
We have bought several items from here over the years. Jay is honest and fair priced. This is the " ONLY" place we will by from! Locally owed which is huge! It started with a gold whales tale several years ago and now includes bracelet, necklace, earrings, a couple of nice rings. All Alaska gold. It is always a pleasure to see Jay . Well worth the stop. And no high pressure! Not like the " cruise line" stores. We are very glad we came across this store
I was the other victim in his “bait-and-switch” scheme. Paid $20 cash for a black onyx whale tail charm, but when I looked inside the jewelry pouch a few days later saw that I received a cheap trinket whale tail—the kind that many jewelry stores up there give out for free. My girlfriend also was ripped off. Be sure to check your purchases before leaving this store! I will remove this review if he sends me what I paid for.
For several years, my wife had been searching for a Black Opal ring, but none of the jewelers she visited carried the specific style she desired. When our neighbor learned that we were embarking on an Alaskan cruise in the summer of 2005 to commemorate our 40th wedding anniversary, he contacted Jay and arranged for us to visit his store in Ketchikan, as he had those rings in stock. We were delighted to finally discover the Black Opal ring my wife had been seeking. I purchased the ring for her, and she has worn it for many years since. Incidentally, a few years after our purchase, my wife accidentally snagged the ring, causing the opal's setting to loosen. We sent it back to Jay for repair, and he graciously completed the repair free of charge. We extend our sincere gratitude to Jay for creating and maintaining another satisfied customer!

We visited the store at this address on 8/29/25 and were sold a black onyx whale tail that I paid for with my credit card and my friend paid for with cash. When we got back to the ship we discovered that the sales person switched the black onyx silver tale for a plain metal one that most stores give away for free as an incentive to visit them. I tried calling the number on the receipt and the one on the listing on google with no luck. The name of the company on the receipt says Bling but on google it says Gold Rush. I will be contacting my credit card company about the bait and switch tactic they used. I will also report them to the cruise ship so that the buyer can be aware.
