The jewelry is beautiful to look at, BUT one pair of “silver” earrings I purchased tarnished immediately— and no silver cleaner/polish would fix it. I did get the earrings replaced by the company, so kudos to them for that but here’s where I have to knock a star or two off of my review... the prices are OUTRAGEOUS. I now only use their catalog to show to my husband for the “guess how much THIS costs?!” game. Expect to pay for semi-precious stones and metal prices (aka $200+ for a necklace and often ~$100 earrings).

Love this store!! Bought this set of rings the other day I’m in love!! The store is amazing the jewelry is spectacular when you walk in they offer you a beverage. They have something for everyone they even offer a tour of the jewelry making process! Will definitely be coming back and adding more pieces to my collection!!

Very nice employees. Short but informative tour -- 20% discount on jewelry for tour attendees. They will also do small customizations on purchased jewelry like shortening bracelets or changing earring hooks.

DO NOT BUY THEIR MYSTERY BOX!! IT IS A BIG RIPOFF ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE ARE NO RETURNS! I ordered it, and was sent 3 pairs of virtually the same earrings. Same color, same design (feather). Only difference was size. When I posted my review, the only thing customer service had to say, was that the items were non-returnable, and suggest that I give them away as gifts. Seriously?!! That is NOT good customer service.

Have loved Holly Yashi jewelry for years and had the opportunity to take a tour. Ellen did an amazing job explaining the process. It gave me a new appreciation for my jewelry. After the tour you can browse their products with no pressure. Ellen was available to answer questions and help find what I needed. It was a fun experience and Id highly recommend it when your are in Arcata, California.

I absolutely LOVE Holly Yashi. Every single time I visit Arcata California I have to stop in and never leave without a pair for myself and my mother, she has over 50 pairs. The ladies there are so welcoming offering something to drink when you arrive hot tea, coffee, cappuccino and even hot chocolate for little ones that may be with you. They answer any questions you may have and have a huge selection to choose from. You will never go wrong stopping in here even if its just to have something beautiful to look at.

I love Holy Yashi products. I was greeted and asked if I wanted an espresso drink or cold drink as I explored. Im so grateful for the excellent service received! It was fun to see them making the jewelry. I highly recommend this place.

Jewelry that will be your new favorite to wear at prices youll love to pay. Fun knickknacks and a viewing area for the manufacturing studio (plus tours) adds a nice visitation factor as well for people visiting the area.

Spent 2 hours, cause it was the main purpose for the 3 day trip. Of course everyone was very helpful yet not pushy. Beautiful things and some you cant get on line. I hope to make it back some day.

I return time and time again, alone and with friends and guests from out of town. Holly and her team offer the best customer service. Their unique designs are amazing. If you are visiting the area please take a moment to stop by and have a “Holly Yashi” experience. Take the tour, enjoy a coffee or some tea. If you are local don’t forget there are right in your own back yard. They also have a great selection of clothing and other fun items. I highly recommend a stop here.

Beautiful place! Beautiful jewelery! Beautiful owners! Ive been collecting Holly Yashi since I was a child thanks to my mother and aunts who have been shopping here since before I was born! Ive had the pleasure for meeting the owners and taking tours of them making the jewelery!! Its a fascinating process that makes me want to work there! If you ever find yourself in Arcata its a great place to visit!!

Some of their products are cool, the jewelry is gaudy and I guess if you want to look like you’re on the cast of The Real Housewives of A Midwest trailer park then by all means this is your store. The staff is ridiculous, rude, intrusive, I’m assuming it’s a not a commissioned based job.

Review №25

Great Shopping Experience! One is greeted at the door by the supremely friendly staff and an offer of a beverage. Staff explains where things are and provides guests with lined trays to place items you may be interested in. As this location also houses Holly Yashis design, assembly, manufacturing, shipping, etc. facility, the selection of goods is tremendous -- Everything in their current lines, one of a kind items, and vintage designs are available. If you are looking for a particular item, color or design, just ask the helpful staff. Your purchases are carefully wrapped in beautiful gift bags and come with a card explaining the companys story. Prices range from about $20 on up. If one has time, be sure to take a tour of the facility. You learn about the companys origins, growth and see first hand how these beautiful creations are made. If you are into jewelry, it is a great way to spend an afternoon while visiting Arcata and the greater Humboldt area.

Beautiful jewelry, exceptionally friendly owners and clerks, who provide help without hovering. Even though we missed the tour of the whole operation, they still showed the coloring process. I was pleasantly surprised to find pieces I loved in my fairly low price range.

Something of an institution that might have sold out. Good parking outside to visit what is essentially the factory shop. However there is so much stuff and people it is hard to see. Holly Yashi the jewellery is very good stuff all made on the premises but the shop is a cavernous confusing assortment of touristy stuff. I ended up buying Holly Yashi gifts at the airport.

Amazing store with so many beautiful items! Their jewelry is the star of the show, of course, but there is so much to see! You can watch people make the jewelry and enjoy a Free cappuccino while you do. Their coffee is the bomb! Thanks for being one of the best stores in Arcata!

Loved my visit to the store and continued to place online orders. I recently requested a repair and my request was declined with no explanation. Perhaps Holly Yashi is now consumer based, not customer based? Unsubscribed to emails - will buy local from artists that will accommodate repairs.

Beautiful jewelry with creative styling to boost any wardrobe. We were offered cappuccino and tea as we strolled around the showroom with velvet lined trays provided to carry our selections. First class style with an artisan touch. I could have stayed for hours, but we were on to our next adventures.

I had a great time visiting the studio/store. My husband told me to take my time and that he would wait in the car. A staff member (who happened to look like a fashion model) delivered a complementary latte and chocolate to the car. I had plenty of time to pick out the perfect pair of Holly Yashi earrings. We totally laugh about it when we talk about that trip.

When I moved to the bay area, on an adventure in Marin, I stumbled across this jewellery & immediately fell in love! Had to buy a pair of earrings & long since lost one. On drive up to redwood national park saw many roadside signs & told my BF we MUST stop there. Upon arrival were greeted with may I get you a cappuccino or tea. The displays are incredible like you walked into a different land. Met the owner herself.....continued to ask my self where are we, cause we sure dont get service like this in the bay area! Loved that you could watch them making the stuff in the back studio! Staff recomeded great cider place around the corner! Love my new earrings!

I bought a Holly Yashi bracelet from a jeweler in Folsom. It was a Celebration bracelet, very colorful and fun but rather pricey. I wore it one night, the night I bought it, to dinner at a buffet type restaurant. When leaving, I glanced at my wrist and it was gone. I searched the busy restaurant but never found it. I believe the clasp or one of the links was defective so it just literally fell off without me realizing. I contacted the company directly and they didnt want to replace it. I wont buy this brand again because they dont back their product. I have never lost a bracelet before, and I lost this one the very day I bought it!
