Joint Venture Estate Jewelers

As a long time customer, I cannot say enough about Joint Venture. First, the owners and staff are some of the most welcoming, warm and friendly people you will ever have the opportunity to chat with! You enter the shop and are greeted with a smile Then you get to the jewelry and watches --- Wow! C'est magnifique! The selection is amazing and they are so patient with you no matter how long you browse around to see what catches your eye (trust me, something Will catch your eye). Plus, they are willing to assist and answer whatever questions you have. If you are in Charleston and need a special something for a gift (or treat for yourself ), come to Joint Venture.

Joint Venture is one of me and my wife's favorite places to visit. Being Charleston locals, we have shopped here for many years. Each and every visit is always such a pleasure because Ellen, Tatum, Christopher and everyone are so welcoming, make you feel like you are part of the Joint Venture family. Not only do you deal with wonderful people but you get to peruse through a fantastic selection of estate & vintage jewelry.

The staff are very knowledgeable about jewelry and watches. In addition to buying awesome pieces, Christopher does amazing repair work on your jewels that need some TLC. We are definitely plan to be repeat customers for many more years to come!

My first and last visit Spoke to Braxton over the phone. I was told an appraisal would be $50. He seems to be interested in the piece because the manufacturers. I got down to the store and spoke to a woman at the front counter. I told her I'm wanting an appraisal and it is not for insurance or consignment, just for my knowledge. She went to grab another woman who then greeted me with an immediate this ring would be valued at $30-$50.

How could that be I asked her, when 10 karat gold is valued at $25 a gram and this piece weighs nearly 5 grams? I felt my intelligence was insulted from the moment I stepped in. So I stopped her in mid sentence I had had enough. Being a local in the Charleston area I've been to a lot of places of business. Never once has any treated me so ill then this jewelry store.

My husband and I have been long time customers at Joint Venture. As Charleston locals, we feel that Joint Venture truly a local gem (pun intended!). The owners and staff are always so friendly and welcoming, even four-legged "customers" are welcome inside The selection of vintage & estate jewelry is top-notch! You are sure to find treasure, at any price point. (I ALWAYS find a tempting piece or two or three .) The staff is also very knowledgeable when it comes to the jewelry: type, style, gems, etc. When you buy a piece from Joint Venture you are buying a piece with history and you leave the store feeling like you're part of the family.

Braxton was the man! Very patient and helpful with a first time watch buyer, can't recommend enough and will be back for sure.

Adore the perfect ring we found in this delightful jewelry store. They have a great selection and I felt the staff was excellent, smart, invested, not at all pushy. They made us very comfortable. We felt we got a Great deal and we needed some follow up and they were truly amazing in there willingness to help and attention to detail I just can't say enough positive things about them. Highly recommend.

Joint Venture is more than a jewelry store, it is the epitome of what shopping with a family-owned business in Charleston can, and should be. The experience, knowledge, and kindness of Joint Venture's staff is unrivaled in the Charleston area. I have had the great pleasure of working with them for years now, specifically Bradford and Braxton in the watch department.

Every issue solved, every difficult part sourced, and every expectation exceeded, time and time again. Joint venture makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. They have a beautiful, and diverse selection of jewelry and timepieces, and are beyond patient with you as you browse. You can tell that everyone in the store is happy and proud to be there, and that immediately reflects onto the shopping experience. Thank you to the entire Joint Venture team. We are so fortunate to have you in this city!

My daughter and I go to Joint Venture every time I visit her in Charleston, SC. Everyone is so very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. One (or both) of us always finds a little something we love! They have a wonderful variety of beautiful estate jewelry in many price points. It truly is a treat to visit this lovely store!

AWESOME is best way I can explain Joint Venture estate jewelry- they carry unique pieces with "soul" not the standard jewelry store fare. Also a very nice select / curated selection of preowned mens watches. It is a great family owned business with excellent knowledge of the products they carry. Highly recommended - if you want elegance and not just "jewelry ", Joint Venture estate jewelry is the place for You.

The morning of my wedding, I had an issue with my watch which was a pre wedding gift and was in dire need of help. The staff here took care of my problem and told me there was no charge because it was my wedding day. Cannot give a strong enough recommendation. In addition the helpful and kind staff, the collection of jewelry I saw in the store was beautiful.

After lots of looking, we found my wife's engagement ring at Joint Venture. My wife was so pleased with the buying experience that she was certain my wedding band must come from Joint Venture too. Now, I just found an amazing pair of earrings for our first anniversary. Joint Venture carries classic and unique pieces that you won't find at your run-of-the-mill jewelers.

My wife loves their stuff! But, more than that, the people are outstanding-it's a comfortable, friendly, and helpful atmosphere that has made it my/our first and only choice for jewelry.

Very quick and efficient battery replacement for my Tissot watch. Surprisingly good price.

Joint Venture Estate Jewelers on King Street in Charleston is a great source for unique and antique jewelry that you will most likely not see anywhere else. This is a fun place to shop for jewelry and they have good values for the quality that they have. The staff here is very friendly and willing to take the time to make sure that you are helped and find what you need.

I needed my watch battery changed and Joint Venture Estate Jewelers came up as walking distance to my office (check!). Friendly service (check again!) and the jeweler was able to change my battery on the spot while I waited, which wasn't even a problem because the store is full of beautiful, antique jewelry and watches. Heck, I could have spent the whole afternoon there oooohhh and aaahhhing the merchandise. So happy I found this 'gem' of a store (wink). Seriously though, it's operated by very nice people with lovely merchandise and great service.

Love Joint Venture! Love Ellen & Brad! They always have the most amazing things in their store and at such reasonable prices too! The way they photograph the pieces for social media is truly beautiful.

I am a regular customer of 17+ years with more purchases, trades, or sales to them that can ever be counted. The staff has very limited turnover so they become like friends over time. I deal mostly with watches, my Wife mostly with the earrings and other jewelry, we enter the store, go our separate ways inside and then meet up again when we're done. Highly recommended to one and all.

My husband and I had a very poor and unpleasant interaction with the jeweler, upon picking up my wedding ring. The jeweler became frustrated and defensive when I asked questions to try to resolve a situation, in which he accidentally made my ring too small after repairs and failed to evenly realign bands, as requested. We felt there was negative communication, poor customer service, and no opportunity for a proper resolution.

The jeweler said I was "making a scene, " when I felt I was just expressing my concerns and asking questions to make a sound decision that I was comfortable with. I was left taking home a ring that is too tight, and a jeweler telling me "we should go elsewhere." I personally called the manager to express my concerns and get recommendations on where else to go in town.

The manager provided some verbal customer support and validation, in ways the jeweler do not. However, I am still left with an unresolved inconvenience and knowing I felt verbally spoken down to.

While on vacation recently, I damaged the setting on my engagement ring. Rather than try to get it fixed while out of town, I waited till we got home and could stop by Joint Ventures. They have repaired my jewelry before and have always done a great job. This time, my ring was repaired and cleaned while I waited. It only took a few minutes on my lunch break and I was out the door.

I highly recommend this place and the people that work there. I have gotten a few pieces of jewelry from here over the years, and keep going back because of the friendly service and staff.

This is my jewelry store. They have some exquisite estate and vintage pieces, very interesting and unique items to classic and modern. We bought my engagement ring and wedding band here and many birthday gifts. The service is great (they know me by name!) and everyone is knowledgeable about their products. They have items for every price range.

I had a very, very rude experience there. The manger was exceptionally rude for no reason. She yelled at me: "We do NOT have ANTIQUES - we have ESTATE things!". Their website says they sell antiques. I saw some old pocket watches in the back that looked antique to me. Then she wanted to argue with me about what an antique is. She was adamant that they do NOT sell antiques.

So I just left. How rude!, and sarcastic! I will tell everyone I know not to go there. This is not typical of customer service here in Charleston. My advice is to avoid this place.

My husband and I were vacationing in Charleston recently and his watch battery died. We happened upon this place while wandering downtown and stopped in to have his battery replaced. They were able to replace the battery for us immediately and we went ahead and paid for it up front. Apparently his gasket needed replacing as well, they fixed that while replacing he battery, and when we tried to pay them for that extra service, they waved us off and said "no charge." You don't get service like that anymore!

Highly recommended! On another note, I browsed while waiting- they have some beautiful jewelry here and some very nice estate pieces. I can't comment on the prices since I didn't have them pull anything out for me, but I can say they have some nice pieces in stock!

Very nice staff. My husband did notice that a woman gave him a snoot face because he was in a t-shirt and ball cap, but he saw her face change when she noticed my wedding set. Lol. Very nice selection of jewelry and in all different price ranges. Probably $100-$100,000. Will definately go back when in Charleston again and pick out another piece.
