They are always professional and very helpful. I have bought many beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry from Maryann and her staff. My wife's wedding ring still draws comments from strangers, even after 10 years.

BUYER BEWARE...This review is for their store in Cape May, "MaryAnn's". I love Cape May and visit there often. I usually buy jewelry in "Queen May" and was always satisfied. I went into Maryann's in October 2022, sort of reminded me of a pawn shop, but saw a beautiful Aqua/Diamond ring. The sales person Donna showed me the ring and said from the sales ticket it was $2695. I also asked about the grading of diamonds (color, clarity etc.) She said it would have to be appraised. I found this odd. I didn't purchase it because I wanted to shop around. We went back to Cape May in February 2023 (a few months later), and went into Maryanns shop. The same ring was there, I asked again to see the ring and she and told me the SAME price $2,695. I told her I was interested in the ring but can she do better on the price. She said she would call the owner. I heard her tell the owner ALL details of the ring including the price. She said we can take $500 off which would make it $2,195. I said I would be willing to pay $2,100. She told me she would have to ask the owner and would call me. She took all my info. She called shortly after, left a message on my answering machine(which I still have) confirming to sell me the ring for $2,100. She was sending it out to be appraised. I didn't hear anything for about a month, finally Donna called and said the ring was appraised at $4000. I said great, and confirmed I was paying $2,100. She said absolutely, that was the price agreed to and they would never go back on that. She also said if I wasn't interested to let her know because the ring would be put back out on display and the price would be raised. I told her I wanted the ring. She told me she would message me the appraisal. She never did. Another week goes by...I talked to Donna and was told my ring is at a different shop of theirs, to call and they would ship the ring from that store. When I called, I was told the ring was a higher price $3,295, but she would sell it to me for $2,700!!! I explained that was not the price agreed upon. I was so disappointed and mad that not only was my time waste for month, I was deceived and lied to. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SHOP!

I have visited both stores in Runnemede and Cape May. I have always had a fantastic experience. Mary Ann and her team are knowledgeable, fair, and provide excellent service when it comes to antiques and coins. I have been buying from them for years and will continue to recommend them to all my family and friends. When it comes to buying and selling coins/jewelry, both shop locations are reputable and second to none. Their business and their prices are superior to other companies.

When in to sell some silver. They were giving about 60% of the real value.

I went into a store to pick up a few things. It was busy near the entrance, but the guy at the register greeted me. I asked a staff member for a specific lamp shade and a couple of other items, and he pointed me in the right direction. While I browsed, he seemed to be watching me closely. He mentioned my interest to others who suggested I check upstairs. As I explored upstairs, a woman and a man (probably customers) joined me. I noticed the same staff member keeping an eye on me as I moved around. When I found a piece of painting I liked, I asked about the price. After he reached out for help, he was moving around the painting when one of the paintings fell and hit me. While I stood there in throbbing pain, he barely reacted. A woman rushed over to check on him, ignoring my discomfort. Feeling mistreated, I decided to leave. Even though this happened months ago, it bothered me enough to leave a review. Despite the store's large vapid items and my small purse and casual outfit, the staff treated me suspiciously. Their behavior was disrespectful and discriminative. Their actions could lead to more serious problems like complaints or lawsuits.
