This is the LOVELIEST store! Staff are genuinely kind and while available, were not clingy. This is an old-school store that I don't see often anymore in our country sadly. I found a special ring and left to think about whether to purchase. One of the things that helped me decide was wanting to buy from THIS store! Came back for it! Also purchased a special bracelet for my daughter and another neat antique!
Thank you Katie! We appreciate you! After 50 years in business I can tell you that it is our customers who make the magic happen! Your kind words made my day, come back and see us when you can! ~Charlie

My family and I have been buying wonderful things from McAdams for over 30 years. It is such a great place to shop for jewelry and gifts. The staff and the owners are super helpful and really enjoy helping you shop around. I'll admit we sometimes go there just to walk around and look at all the neat things. Okay, sometimes we are thinking about what we might buy next from McAdams when we do some looking around. We love it.
Tron, friends like you are why we're still here and why we keep doing what we do! I just love my customers, they're like family!

I love their rescue cat, Woody. I always stop when I’m in town for my TNR clinics. A wonderful curated show of old mixed with new.
Thank you so much Brianna! Come and see us again when you can. I should let you know that after 5 years in our care, Woody passed away earlier this month. It's been a different place without him. Thank you for your kind words. ~Charlie

They have many unique items that you would never in department stores! The staff is very friendly and treat you like family! This place is my comfort zone! A complete and total pick me up place! My happy place~
Well Debbie, we just love you too! What a treat to read another positive review! I know our customers love us because they return again and again, but I hope they know we love them too! You are a treasure! ~Charlie

Charlie and Rebecca offer one of the best shopping experiences in the Midwest, and have done so for decades. The array of fine jewelry is amazing, especially this time of year. Recently Charlie oversaw a seemingly difficult re-sizing of my mother’s anniversary band. The result was just right, affordable, too! I bring in friends and family to shop at McAdams and it’s always a win-win. A sincere thanks to the McAdams team—you’re the best!
Thank you so much Julie! We have the best customers anywhere! ~Charlie
