Dimitria is fabulous and her shop is beautiful. I worked with her to create two bracelets. I described my vision and she delivered! Love, love, love my new jewelry. 🩷 What a wonderful store! I wish her continued success.
Thank you Michaela for your patience and trusting to work with us on this special project. We love how they came out.

I popped in to Petra Star on our last day of vacation in Mystic on an impulse. Dimitria has such a welcoming and thoughtful store that immediately quashed my anxieties about having three kids with me. There’s even a small table with some toys and kids microscope to keep them busy while I browsed. I wound up selecting two rings and Dimitria really took the time to figure out which finger they belonged on and sized them for me. When I say I cannot wait to visit her store again, I mean it. It was a 5 star experience that will be hard for any other jeweler to beat.
Thank you so much, Meagan! Your kind words truly warm our hearts and remind us why we love what we do. As a small business, every connection means the world to us, and we're so thrilled to know your experience was as special as we aim for. Whether you're browsing or buying, you're always welcome here. We can’t wait to see you again on your next visit to Mystic! 💎

Dimitria is a knowledgeable and inspired jeweler. She has a great eye for quality and design. She has helped me re-create some beloved, inherited pieces into more beautiful and functional designs. And her store is so lovely and inviting. It's a wonderful place to gaze at the stunning jewelry and find something you will treasure forever.
Thank you so much, it has been a pleasure all these years to share those experiences with you.

I wanted to celebrate my wife’s 50th with something very special. I decided on a new wedding band for my beautiful wife. I was in excellent hands with Dimitria who is an expert gemologist and proprietor of Petra Star. She expertly helped me select the setting, stones and overall design and it came out better than i could have imagined. The photo speaks for itself!
It was our pleasure. We were honored to be part of that celebration.

(Quite literally) - beautiful store in downtown Mystic, I stopped by out of curiosity and ended up learning about rare gems 💎 and all their beauty/intricacies - also, got a “permanent” 14k gold filled bracelet at a very reasonable price ($50), pictured.
