Highlands Gem Shop

The owners have a lively combination of quality contemporary and antique jewelry with fun pieces for daily enjoyment

I usually travel to highlands once a year and I love it. This was my first time stopping by Highlands Gem shop and it was amazing, I didn’t want to leave! Matt and his wife Laura are amazing! The store had such a wide and unique collection it was so hard to just leave there with one piece. I left with an amazing gift and couldn’t be happier with my experience at Highlands Gem shop. Can’t wait to stop by next year!

My one interaction with Matthew Schroeder has tainted my entire view of this business. Was planning on looking at wedding bands and gifts for my wedding party here, but the day before I planned to stop in, I had to pop in to check on a client and parked behind the shop. I was in a rush and parked in a marked no parking zone because I hadn't paid attention. And I take full responsibility for that and when I came down, he began to berate me even as I attempted to move vehicle while apologizing profusely. The man was red in the face less than 10 seconds after I realized my mistake and tried to explain myself while getting out of his way ASAP. He also applied an adhesive to my vehicle that is proving impossible to remove. I get that the lack of parking in Highlands has business owners up in arms about it, but it was an honest oversight, I took responsibility for it and attempted to remedy the situation, but to be verbally harassed over something as small as a parking spot is not acceptable and not in line with the values of Highlands. Will avoid being anywhere near here or him from here on out. And that sucks, because they have such pretty things!
