Of all of the stores specializing in vintage and antique jewelry that we've visited, Cristina's was by far the best. I highly recommend paying them a visit! We plan to stop by whenever we're in San Antonio.
This wonderful family-owned business sells more than vintage and estate jewelry. They have many loose precious and semi-precious stones which can be set into numerous gold and silver casings. Recently, Mike and Meg kept the store open for me during shorter holiday hours to create a London Blue Topaz and gold pendant with four post extensions to keep the stone secure. Just in time for our anniversary! Customers with a budget from $100 to $10,000 + will find Cristina's to be a better option than the mall.
Cristina's is like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on Food Network but for Collectibles & Jewelry. It's where the locals know to go because of the service you get from a second-generation, family-owned business. It's a hidden gem if you like antiquities. When you walk in you feel like you're a part of the family with their warmth, stories and genuine care for their visitors. When you leave, you leave as a customer for life because of their honesty, knowledge, fair price (for buyers), and above average offers (for sellers).
I had previously priced out rings at other stores, including online, and Mike was able to beat them all. While I was able to buy the rings, he was more than willing to work on a myriad of payment plans. THIS IS THE PLACE TO SHOP IF YOU WANT HIGH QUALITY SERVICE AND PRODUCTS.
I am always amazed with how much I learn going to Cristina's and then to top it off I always feel I'm being treated ethically and with the utmost respect. Not to mention all the beautiful and truly unique items you can't find at the cracker jack box jewelry stores. If you're serious about getting what you pay for when buying jewelry, you should do yourself a favor and visit Cristina's.
I was looking to buy an engagement ring set and Mike was quick to educate us on everything from how to pick the perfect gem to rings without being pushy.
We visited Cristina's looking for an Art Deco engagement ring. Mike was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He explained to us the different diamond cuts you can find in vintage and antique rings (mine cut, European, transitional, modern brilliant) and explained how that helps him date the rings. He also showed us how to use the loupe to look at the diamond and the metal of the ring to assess for quality. We've been to several jewelry stores near where we live (Ohio) and in neighboring states and no one has showed us what to look for. Mike had a selection of true Art Deco rings and also new rings that were made in the Art Deco style using the same hand-crafted techniques they used back then.
Big-name jewelry stores take note!!! The service here is amazing! Mike and his mom were extremely friendly when my girlfriend and I walked in to look at jewelry.
They had a great selection of antique and vintage rings and we quickly found the ones for us. Then Mike told us about the pricing and appraisal process while letting us inspect the gems personally and told us what to look for.
