Empire Enterprises Antiques

I went back to Enterprise and was so glad I did. I found out that on my first visit they were closed due to the OB farmers market, which is understandable.
Ken helped me find the perfect ring. He was very knowledgeable and honest. He bought a few older pieces I had and gave me a pretty good deal. I would definitely go back to Enterprise whenever I need a vintage jewelry piece and have already recommended him to a few friends and family members.

Best place to buy antique jewelry in OB. Ken is very knowledgeable and the prices on the jewelry can’t be beat. I traded in old jewelry for store credit and was not disappointed. Ken was even able to shorten a gold diamond bracelet for me and make place gold posts on the extra links to make earrings! I love this place!

I love Ken and Nancy. You won’t find two more wonderful people to get some sparkles from. I wandered into the store one day 7 years ago, and Ken invited me and my friend to play with the diamonds in the case. So we did (while he watched of course!) and he gave us a lesson in how to buy a good quality diamond. Fast forward 4 years, and my amazing husband purchased the perfect engagement ring from Ken, with a little help from my friend. It’s a beautiful antique ring with a perfectly clear diamond. I dug my wedding band, which is intricately engraved with flowers all the way around, out of his «treasure chest» where he keeps the gold rings. Together, my white gold quarter carat rings cost less than $ 350. My husband loves to brag about that to his friends.
They are always ready to help find the perfect gift when I shop for friends, and I always learn something new about jewelry history, geology, or tradition from Ken and Nancy. I’ve sold jewelry to them as well and always get a fair price or trade in value. I’ve been a loyal customer for 7 years, and I’ll be a loyal customer for as long as they decide to keep their little shop open.

I’ll keep this short and sweet.
The Boy thought he wanted a cuckoo clock, and fell in love with one at Empire Enterprises. The gentleman who helped us out took the time to explain the ins and outs of proper cuckoo clock maintenance, showed us how to wind it, etc. We bought it.
Several days later, it became clear that this clock was defective. At one point, the bird «cuckoo’d» fourteen times. Rather than have it fixed (which was offered to us, free of charge), The Boy decided he didn’t want to own a cuckoo clock after all.
Ken was incredibly sympathetic to our plight, took the clock back without question, and gave us our money back in cash. That alone convinced us that Empire Enterprises deserved this five-​star review.
We have been back many times, and I’ve fallen in love with some beautiful cameo jewelry pieces, sooo… we’ll see!

Great selection of antique and pre-​owned jewelry. Ken is honest and knowledgeable. I would check this place out if you want something more unique and affordable. He has some beautiful engagement and wedding rings. He buys jewelry at fair prices too.

Ken in the jewelry department in the back is very knowledgable. I bought a beautiful locket and chain from him.
