Orca Jewels, Ketchikan

This is a gem of a business! The owners are warm, generous and kind. They really care about their customers and the experience of each person. I purchased a one-of-kind, hand-made whale tail pendant. It is gorgeous! The owner was patient and I felt like I was talking to a friend. When I purchased the pendant, she saw my military ID and could have said nothing, but she told me they have a military discount and gave me a gold and silver necklace, my daughter and husband necklaces with a pendant. I will definitely visit this shop whenever I go back. They are truly unique and genuine business owners.

I love this place, next Alaska cruise, this will be a destination store for us. Wonderful assortment of locally sourced jewelry and art as well. Fun to take it all in given the history the team shares about it all. Easy to spend a few bucks here ;), with confidence. AND as importantly, if you're looking for something specific that they don't have, they will suggest other establishments that may. In my case they did exactly that and directed me to a store that had exactly what I was looking for. I had to return to them sharing my thanks for simply being good people and directing me to a place that had my item. If all the stores in the area treated clients like Orca, the other stores wouldn't need to stand outside offering free charms to lure you in. lol This establishment will thrive considering how much they care about simple caring customer service, which at times seems abstract at other establishments.
