This review is far too long overdue, mainly because I was not sure how I could clearly and concisely convey how much I love The Arcadian Antiques. My husband and I bought both my engagement ring and my wedding band at the Arcadian. Rhonda and her staff are at once remarkably knowledgeable and modest. They allow guests to peruse and admire antiques without pressuring you for a sale. Ask them a question, though, and they can provide detailed information on any of the pieces in the store. Rhonda in particular is without compare. Antiquing has been a hobby of mine for some time, and I have not yet met another professional that can match her knowledge and compassion. I moved to California a while ago, and recently needed repairs to my antique wedding ring. I visited several shops near me in CA, but was not comfortable entrusting my ring to any of them. I contacted Rhonda who helped talk me through what exactly needed to be done to repair my ring. She suggested that I ship the ring back to her store, providing detailed instructions as well as kind words to ease my worries. Rhonda was able to facilitate the repairs in a short amount of time, and I am happy to say my beautiful ring is gracing my finger once again. I will not hesitate to reach out to Rhonda for any additional questions that I have, and will go nowhere else for my antiquing needs! I cannot recommend Rhonda or the Arcadian Antiques more highly!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I may be biased considering we have purchased BOTH my wedding band and my engagement ring from here, but its a bias that has been well deserved over years of service and trust given to us by the owners. I get compliments on my rings all of the time and always tell anyone who is looking for great quality and friendly personalized service to visit here! My friends have now shopped for their rings and have had jewelry customized here. I still continue to come here for any of my jewelry questions, concerns, cleanings,etc because of the trust and respect I have for the owners opinions. I promise you will not be let down. They also have a HUGE amount of antiques that are unique in this adorable store, so dont forget to stop in and shop for more than just jewelry. I promise once you stop in you will be coming back for years to come for the service, unique items, or maybe for advice on items. :)

The Arcadian Antiques is a must- visit for anyone who loves beautiful vintage glass and jewelry! This store has an amazing collection of depression glass, estate jewelry, hat pins, quilts, tea cups and more. The glass and china is beautifully arranged by color in lovely cabinets. Even those who typically dont venture into antique stores will love The Arcadian Antiques. If you are looking for vintage or antique jewelry this is the place to go. They have a huge collection of rings. Best of all, the employees are so friendly. I tried on several rings and the gal helping me was knowledgeable and helpful. (I know where Im going when my birthday or anniversary comes!) The gal who helped me said that they have a wonderful jeweler who specializes in repairing and sizing antique pieces. I didnt purchase anything this time but felt totally comfortable browsing. Ill most definitely be back!

I cant say enough good things about this shop! I fell in love with one of the shops unique and vintage wedding bands but wasnt ready to commit. Within the next few days I knew the ring was for me. Not only was the staff well informed and helpful, the store owner went out of her way during her vacation to make arrangements so I could purchase my ring. I am beyond thankful for that gesture. Its so rare to experience such professional and caring customer service. Im so glad we chose to walk into this shop. If youre looking for a beautiful, affordable and one of a kind ring (and service) stop by this location! I will definitely be coming back for more pieces in the future.

A destination by itself!!! Well worth the trip to Ann Arbor!! Has a great selection of vintage jewelry and other unique trinkets and such. Great browsing and gift ideas, helpful and knowledgeable Staff. Not into the hard sale but always there to answer the question. I looked at many places for an engagement ring, the new cookie cutter ring selection just didnt cut it. Found a wonderfully crafted ring in my budget that exceed everything else in quality and character. The most important part she loved it. One of her Co workers liked it so much they went there and found one themselves. Give them a try, just worth it!!

If you are looking for antique jewelry or other antiques that are in great condition this is the place! Ronda runs a great shop with excellence customer service. My parents have been going here for years and now I started to. Not only can you purchase great jewelry but you can get jewelry cleaned and customized here. They are very trust worthy and have reasonable prices. If you are ever in the area this is a shop you should definitely check out!

My experience with The Arcadian was exceptional. My fiancee and I had gone to several other jewelers trying to size my engagement ring and were turned away. The owner of this shop immediately filled me with confidence. She said that my ring could be sized and that they would be more than happy to take care of it for me. When I got my ring back, it came out even better than I imagined and Im extremely happy that I can finally wear my ring.

I was looking for something special and unique for an engagement ring. They have a beautiful collection of antique jewelry, and we had a lot to pick from. I was amazed at the detailing a lot of their art deco pieces had compared to new pieces you would purchase from chain manufacturers. This is a family business, and everyone was very sweet and helpful. I was so happy to buy something beautiful, classic, and local!

I inherited my grandmothers 1940s engagement ring and came to Arcadian to find a coordinating wedding band. The owner of Arcadian helped me choose, and I picked the first antique ring I tried on! My engagement ring was extremely worn and Arcadian repaired it with unbelievable attention to detail. Its like a brand new ring! I could not be happier. Thanks for keeping my ring a family heirloom!

I had an amazing experience picking out my engagement ring at the arcadian. The staff were very helpful and flexible with me when I had a difficult time making up my mind. The selection is amazing and there is so much to choose from. Rest assured anything you buy from The Arcadian is a treasure. I definitely plan to buy more jewelry and other antiques from them in the future.

Great store! I went in to see if they could help me switch a pendant onto a new necklace chain that I wasnt able to do myself. So I stopped by and asked if they could help me - they did it within a few days and for a fair price! Theyve got lots of unique pieces too. I will definitely be going back there if I need any more help with things like this or other repairs.

The Arcadian has the largest selection of quality antique jewelry that I have ever seen, especially engagement rings. We recently shopped for rings here, and compared to the big box stores, their prices are amazing. If you want something beautiful and truly unique, skip Zales, dont "go to Jared"(ugh) and try the Arcadian. You wont be disappointed!
