“Thank you for providing such a wonderful service. Buying from a family-owned business that offers thoughtful curation of items that are beautiful and unique, splendid customer service, and great pricing is such a pleasure. I looked long and hard for a beautiful, silver plated ice bucket in good condition, and with a unique shape. I found it on your site, and it was easy to order. I did not expect the fast delivery and I did not expect the exceptional, careful, polishing and packing. Thank you – it is stunning. I will return exclusively to your site when I'm ready to purchase the other beautiful items currently on my "wish" list.” - M.S.

From our very first conversation, I was impressed with your knowledge and expertise of this antique silver set. I am glad to know a little of its background and I will treasure this set for as long as I own it. I cannot wait till Thanksgiving to set my table. Thank you again and I look forward to shopping with you in the future. It is always a bit of a worry when you are buying something of this value from a picture online.

By far, my experience with you and your products have been absolutely the best! To you it probably seems you are "just doing your job", but you do it so exceptionally well. I've come to trust your advice, to trust you will do what you say you will do and often even more, to trust that you are an expert and know what to do, and to trust in the quality of your products when they arrive. You do it all at a reasonable price as well. I think when a person and their business stand out in this way, it is well worth the effort to spread the word. You are very rare, but you probably don't realize it!" - D.C.

"I wanted to let you know that the Thanksgiving surprise of the Dimension silverware set turned out wonderfully! Right before sitting down to lunch, my daughter and I quickly switched out my flatware for the Dimension silverware set before my husband came to the table. He carved the turkey and served everyone and then sat down in his chair and saw the silverware and literally could not speak. He just kept shaking his head as tears welled up in his eyes. I quickly gave him a book I had put together with a photo of his parents and a note explaining that although this was not the original set they had given him long ago - that I thought they'd be pleased we were sharing an identical set.

We are still absolutely astounded that the set was in such perfect condition with most of it having been in the original wrappers. I truly feel that this was meant to be. Thanksgiving evening he put every piece in the chest - yes, out of the wrappers and ready to be used for many family gatherings.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all of your nice responses to my emails, taking the time to speak with me on the phone, for delivering everything packaged so nicely, for locating the additional serving pieces and for so accurately representing what you had available for purchase.

I would highly recommend you and your business to anyone looking for silver pieces to add to their home.

You helped me provide a priceless gift to a man I love so much - thank you." - B.R.

Thank you for a wonderful experience with your company." - S.M.

"I received the sterling gravy ladle promptly and safely packed. When I opened the package, I was astonished at the beauty and pristine condition of the vintage ladle (a gift for my gravy-loving husband on the occasion of our 25th wedding anniversary). I feel confident that The Sterling Shop will be of great help when I have to find something very special for my dear ones. Thank you!" - M.S.
