Steve, I believe that is the owner and he is great. I had my items appraised and it was well beyond my thoughts! Great Service, very Layer back. What I liked about my experience is that he asked what I wanted...he did not pushed or try to sell me. His first question was what is your price range. Worked within my budget. I believe was very he was very fair. I kind of feel guilty because he order the earrings and the ring and was 100% less than the retail places I talked too and he gave me a better grade. I gave him a picture of the ring and he got it for me! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!
