If you're a woman and hope to shop here, good luck. My husband and I stopped in looking for estate pieces and we were regarded as undeserving of his services or "estate pieces". He didn't know what Art Deco style rings were and had to refer to a book. Even though I was the one asking all the questions and had in mind a type of ring I wanted (not pave!) he refused to address me and instead referred to my husband the whole time (although I was the one asking the questions). I asked him to clarify a definition he used to describe one French piece he had, and he acted as if we were asking for the moon set alongside the Hope Diamond. He was also condescending towards what he thought we could afford, pointing out that this ring he wouldn't even show us, was beyond what we could/would spend. Unimpressed with what he had to offer, I politely thanked him and walked out. Needless to say, we will not be giving him our business.
