Buying my engagement ring here was like shopping in the attic of a glamourous, eccentric, chain-smoking aunt. I was delightfully bullied in a way that would only be excusable in t...

I bought 6 items because I loved so many things in this shop. However, 5 of the 6 items have either had stones fall out or broke in some way. I bought a bracelet for $40 and saw t...

AJ Martin is A+++++++++++ 4/14/2009

AJ made my engagement all it could be, she helped me find a unique estate ring that could not be matched anywhere Amy(AJ) worked with me every step of the way and made me feel part of her family...she truly cares about you and I feel that would have been the case even if I had not bought a thing from her. If you want bland run of the mill stuff, with unknowledgable service go elsewhere. If you want a truly unique store and an amazing experience go see Amy!! From high end estate jewelry to custom designs, gifts, earings etc etc THIS is the place. It was the first store I went in to look for the perfect engagement ring and the last months later...her taste is divine. Thank you so much!!!( My new fiance will be submitting an review soon!!! She is one happy girl) Pros: Selection of amazing jewelery and gifts for any budget Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

One of a kind...In a good way. 12/28/2008

Amy has it figured out. Jewelry is a special gift given by largely unqualified people, myself included. She is entirely qualified and takes the time to understand who the gift is for and has remarkable selections. It is refreshing to work with someone who is helping me find an individualized one-of-a-kind piece. Pros: Originality, Personalized service more

Great little jewelry store! 10/25/2008

This is an absolutely fantastic vintage and custom jewelry store right in the middle of nashville. My girlfriend and I walked in there and Amy Martin walked us right through the process of designing and making a custom engagement ring for us. A few weeks later the ring came in, and it was perfect. If you're looking for a change from the cookie-cutter jewelry store, this is it. Go and enjoy. more

An Abysmal Experience 5/28/2008

We stopped in at AJ Martin?s hoping to find a unique Men?s wedding ring. Their selection was practically non-existent. However, the owner happily informed us that having a custom ring made was a simple matter. After being assured repeatedly that the ring would be made according to our specifications and within our time-line, we placed a deposit. We were told to expect a call in a day or two asking us to come down and approve the wax casting. A week passed, and no call. Concerned, a call was made to the establishment. After asking the owner about its status and voicing our concerns about having it in time for the wedding, the owner began using terms like ?Possibly? and ?Maybe?. As you can imagine, we were not at all thrilled with this sudden change of verbiage. I reminded her of our time-line and her promise to fulfill her end of the agreement. At this point, the owner actually tried to make me feel guilty for expecting her to keep to her promise! At the end of the phone call, I was told to come down to the shop Wednesday eve to finally look at the casting. Wednesday came, and we arrived to meet a dirty and slovenly dressed individual. The owner informed us that he was the jeweler responsible for actually making the ring. He never made the casting. In fact he had no idea what we had ordered. Instead, he tried to show us several rings which had no relation to what was ordered. I had had enough. I asked the jeweler point blank if he was able to complete the project in time and in accordance with our design. Before he could answer, the owner chimed in stating ?We don?t want to do it for you anymore?. She then once again tried to insinuate that her ineptness was somehow my (the customers) fault. I happily retrieved my deposit and vacated the premises. I would strongly recommend avoiding AJ Martin?s. That is, unless you enjoy being lied to and insulted. Cons: Rude, Dishonest more

Time to make a decision 5/28/2008

When shopping becomes an experience. AJ is the nicest lady on the planet. I was in there for two hours trying to find just the right one year anniversary present and she was the greatest. If you enjoy an infinite variety with a conversation to boot then this is your place. Pros: All Cons: Priced a bit high but well worth it. more

Couldn't have asked for a better experience 4/25/2008

I went to A.J. Martin's looking for an antique engagement ring after my boyfriend suggested helping him pick out my ring. I ended up finding the most gorgeous, quality ring for a great price. AJ took the time to find out what style I like and was right on target when she pulled a beautiful Art Deco-style engagement ring out of the case that is perfect for me. I'm now the proud owner of this ring, and it was such a fun, unique experience! Her shop has some amazing pieces and i look forward to being a repeat customer. Pros: Selection, attention to detail, AJ, good prices Cons: nothing! more

Charmed by the Experience 2/17/2007

We were on a mission. A girls trip to look at engagement rings, turned into a 2 hour experience! After going to another store before, we were more than impressed by AJ, her knowledge, her collection of jewelry, and the many stories and experiences that went along with it. Talk of rings turned into sharing life stories, and before you knew it, we were opening a bottle of wine. AJ has completely captured what it means to make a simple shopping excursion turn into an experience to remember. From the minute you walk into the door, you feel as though you are in a place you never want to leave. This store, for us, a new discovery,will become, not only a shopping stop on the top of our list, but also a place we recommend to everyone! Pros: AJ, Janelle, Selection, Knowledge, Parking, Atmosphere more

Amazing AJ 2/8/2007

Admiring jewelry is a hobby to which I dedicate countless hours... at least in AJ's store! I visited the shop repeatedly, looking for the perfect wedding ring for my finance. Though AJ has a ton of beautiful antique rings (and new ones), I couldn't find the one that was just his style. So our adventure of creating my own ring began. Throughout the process and even through my move out-of-state, AJ was patient, witty, informative, and honest about my suggestions. I have just received the wedding band, and it is amazing. It is exactly as I'd envisioned it, and AJ used her contacts in Nashville, New York, and Israel to make it happen. Whether or not you're in the market for custom jewelry, her shop is necessitates a visit. Her collection of fine jewels is worth lusting over, and she has up to the minute jewelry to satisfy even the most thrifty a spender. Pros: fabulous selection of gifts, and phenomenal collection of jewels Cons: as with most 'boutique stores,' the hours are sometimes hard to negotiate more

Amy Martin's discerning eye brings the best to Nashville's door. 7/1/2006

I am a professional jewelry designer whose work strives for a fusion of historic with contemporary components in a cross-cultural frame of reference. I have found at A. J. Martin a one-stop source for unusual, beautiful and authentic components for my work. Amy consistently offers high quality, excellent workmanship and good value in the unusual beads and artifacts she travels abroad to locate. When purchasing my work, my clients are invariably drawn to comment on items I have purchased from Amy. Her knowledge and discerning eye are a resource to the rest of us who can find in her collection objects which will give a new appreciation for and new insight into that fundamental human urge to ornament our bodies and our environments. Enjoy shopping at A. J. Martin! more
