  For a small store this place has a HUGE selection. They truly care about quality and work to make sure that you are making the right decision for you and your family. Example: They were able to give me specific advice on White Gold vs Platinum based on hard vs. soft and my active lifestyle. You can tell these people truly live and breath jewelry and they get so much joy out of sharing their knowledge and beautiful selection.

  My fiancé had my wedding band made here and it is even better than we ever imagined! We gave their jeweler a rough idea and he hand engraved this to perfection. We have bought several things from this store and they never disappoint. Friendly staff, speedy service especially for a custom ring because we were on a deadline for our wedding. I try to refer anyone I can to this place because they really know what they are doing and everything they have for sale is very high quality.

  5 star products, 2 star repair service. I got my engagement ring here and love it. I brought it in about a year later to be re-shanked, as the back of the band was quite thin. They assured me their jeweler was the best in the business. However, when he performed the re-shanking, he unnecessarily removed and redid a part of the original band engraving, something my jeweler at home, who would have repaired it if I'd had the time, had specifically warned should not be done. The new engraving was much thicker and clumsier than the old engraving and was not even centered on the band. Additionally, he did not stamp the new band for its gold quality, which is required by federal law! The owner offered to have the jeweler fix it, but I didn't really want to give it back to the person who had messed it up in the first place. She would not let me pay for the repair, since I was unhappy, which was nice but unnecessary. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place for vintage engagement rings (or vintage jewelry of any kind) but would NOT use their jeweler to repair your piece.

  “I love Yesstyle because they have the best Asian fashion clothes ever!! As a golden member, I have 10% off of everything in Yesstyle. The only con Yesstyle has is that the shipping period usually takes 3 to 4 weeks, but this is expected from the international price and shipping. I strongly recommend this online shopping website if you want cheap and GOOD looking clothes and don't mind the wait on orders.”

  There are a look of reviews about the rings and necklaces, but my favorite things at the Arcadian are the antique men's accessories, like cuff links, tie bars, and fountain pens. They have an excellent collection spanning a wide variety of eras, so if you have a particular style in mind, there's a good chance they'll have something. Once thing I suggest is not waiting to buy something you like, as it may not be there when you get back. I missed out on a pair of gorgeous enamel cuff links and an amazing art nouveau crystal inkwell and brass stand set because I didn't snag them right away.

  When I was in grad school I visited the Arcadian many times. I bought several beautiful pieces of jewelry there which consistently draw compliments whenever I wear them (rings, pins, a pocket watch, a pill box). It was only after I left Ann Arbor and went to other antique stores that I realized how special the Arcadian is!
  
  Although the Arcadian is famous for its jewelry selection, what is less known is the professional jewelry services they provide. A few times I've had jewelry that's in bad condition or broken (e.g. missing gems, broken clasps), and her jeweler has always been able to restore the piece so it looks new again! This includes antique jewelry I've bought from other vendors. I also got a monogram engraved onto my pocket watch that came out beautifully.
  
  If you live in Ann Arbor, and you like pretty things, do yourself a favor and check out the Arcadian!
