WAY TOO PRICEY!!!!

by BAYOURAT1

I have shopped at Silversmith Gallery's Marq*E location while their clothes are overpriced they are cute and in short quantities the jewelry is or was reasonably priced you are able to find a wide variety of charms and bracelets much cheaper than at another well known silver shop for the price you pay for one charm at the other WELL KNOWN shop you can can three or more, so don't avoid this unique store just because the owner prices her clothes way too high!

• Pros: wide selection of rings,charms and other unique jewelry pieces
• Cons: clothes are too pricey and sized for tiny people

RIP OFF

by houstoniangrl

I recently went to SIlver Smith to browse after receiving rave comments from my girlfriends about how much they loved this place. I will admit, the clothes are cute, but EXTREMELY overpriced. Last weekend I went to my favorite "throw away" clothing store on Harwin. They have cute, trendy clothes for an awfully cheap price, you will never pay over $28 for a dress. Now, the quality is not the best and the stuff doesn't last long, but neither do the trends. Anyway, after shopping at my Harwin haunt, I went to Silver Smith to see if I could find something really unique. BOY did I ever!! What I found were the EXACT SAME DRESSES down to the label, that I saw on Harwin for TRIPLE THE PRICE!!! There is a pink dress in the window now and the price tag on it is $50, I got it on Harwin for $20. I felt completely ripped off. These small boutique stores mark up their prices on originally CHEAP clothes...they just make you believe that the iems are top quality due to the location from which you are purchasing them, but it couldn't be farther from the truth. If you want cute clothes that you'd find at Silver Smith go to Harwin, where the mark-up isn't 300%.

• Pros: Service staff are wonderful and friendly
• Cons: Prices for the quality are abismal

Cute clothes, but too pricey for the quality of the clothing

by rosiegee

I used to shop at this store to find some really cute going out clothes. Since they dont buy in bulk, you're most likely not going to see others wearing your same outfit when you go out to the clubs.

However, lately, I've noticed they still have the same cute clothes but the prices are absolutely ridiculous. The quality of the clothing is not as great as your stores like Arden B and Bebe, but they do price their clothes with those same expensive tags. The clothes are trendy and fashionable, but the price doesnt match quality. They have a small area of sale items - but I have yet to find anything worth buying, even at half price.

• Pros: Trendy, fashionable
• Cons: EXPENSIVE, low quality
