Blue Diamond Gemstone Panning: what do users think?
lil ap: My daughter, 6, enjoyed it. Lots of little play areas. It was about $5 for her to play. We picked the $9 pan bucket. She found d so.e cool pieces. It was shaded. Lots of places to sit or explore. Friendly, knowledgeable service.
Marom Lior: Great place for birthdays, or just spending a fun morning with kids.We live so close, and I can't count how many times we passed this place and didn't know it existed...We had a birthday party there. Kids had a blast just exploring all the fun areas (caves, goat petting, swings, and more), followed by the main activity which was mining rocks. You can add special gems for extra $, then relax in a shaded area for some food.We actually stayed after the birthday was over and played outdoors.A few things to notice:- it was warm, so if you are booking a bday, do it in the 1st shift (10:30am)- make sure if there is another event. We were rushed to finish by the employees, but there was no event there. We could actually pay a little extra and won't be in a rush to leaveBottom line: we will be back. It was super-fun :)
Laura C: If I lived here I’d be there every weekend.
Brittany L.: Great place to take your kids for an afternoon out of the house. We got the Jackpot Bucket and it was HUGE. We got two gallon ziploc sized bags of precious gems, fossils, shells, etc. My son loved all the other little playgrounds to play on because he would get tired of sifting through the bucket and want to take a break. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the finds we had too.
Jakob Micheelsen: Another great day at Blue Diamond.Went together with my mother. We found so many stones in high quality. Way better than expected.The staff is friendly, helpfull and they know a lot about all the stones
Carla Solowiei: This place is great and the staff was absolutely amazing! We traveled to North Carolina for spring break and despite it being cold and rainy we had a good time. We were outside under the covered sluice due to multiple parties going on but the owner was so accommodating. She brought out outdoor patio heaters for us and even sat on the floor in the gift shop playing gemstone bingo with our 8 year old daughter. Wish the weather was better so we could have enjoyed more of the things they have to offer. The prices of the buckets were very reasonable and the little one even found a megalodon tooth in her bucket. So glad we decided to stop here on the way home. We would travel the 3 and a half hours just to come here!
Tim McKenzie: So... If you're tired of bounce house birthdays and you're looking for something fun, give these folks a shot! Our daughter absolutely loves pretty rocks and mentioned wanting to do a rock/gem birthday. A quick Google search later and we found out Blue Diamond was just a few minutes down the road. The best part was despite being 40 degrees out and raining, we had a nice warm covered area to go through the buckets and enjoy some cake afterwards. Everyone had a wonderful time and more than a few parents thanked us for switching it up a bit.
R. Chris Owen: Great place to go hang out and get some gems.
Kyle Parker: My family was in town for spring break and the Blue Diamond appeared in our list of great places to take kids. It did not disappoint! The kids had a great time panning for and learning about the items hidden in their buckets. Even better, Rachel - the manager - was an excellent host and teacher. She eagerly answered all the many questions our kids had about what they discovered and provided the personal attention you don't often find. If we were in the area again, we would definitely pay a return visit to Blue Diamond!
Justine Smith Schumacher: We love this place and the family that runs it! We love finding giant shark’s teeth and the fireplace in the cold season! Such a cute place to have here in Cary. Perfect for a great birthday party or special gifts that sparkle and shine!
Caroline: Horrible customer service. So so rude. Wld NOT recommend. Not accomodating to kids.. at all
Todd Starr: Grandkids had a great time finding fossils, gemstones, and playing in the playground. Knowledgeable staff helped identify gems.
John Smith: Much fun with my 6 year old. Interesting and educational. Wonderful staff.
Florian Emmerich: Great place for about 1 hour of fun. Paid 40 USD plus tax for the entire family and we had 3 bags of stuff to pan. Kids 10, 8 and 3 loved it!
Sandra Smith: The people there are so sweet and greet us with a smile everytime. I have to say my favorite place to go.
Pam B.: Fantastic little place. Indoor and outdoor panning available. Small store with lots of cool items. Make this a stop if your in the area. We look forward to visiting again
Andi Huett: It was a fantastic place for a 6 year old birthday party. Everyone was super hospitable and helpful. The birthday boy and all his guests had a fun time and LOVED being able to take home what they found!
Owen Kusakabe: Had a great time here for my birthday. I definitely recommend trying this place out if you’re out this way. Totally worth it if you are a rock hound that likes minerals and gems. Though if you usually find minerals through actual dirt this might not be for you since it’s more panning for them through bags of dirt
Elizabeth Bunting: Went for a birthday party. Really fun and different from the usual kid's party.
Christal Amos: Staff makes the experience easy for parents and an amazing adventure for the kids! I saw more than a few adults really getting into it themselves.Staff comes around to tell you about the stones in your sifter. They also have a playground with swings, ropes course, and rock climbing at safe heights around the trees. This was a great choice for our family trip!!
James Bersheim: Amazing service, reasonable prices, nicely set up. We got there during a tropical storm so there weren't many people there besides us and the person that worked there. She was very attentive and answered all of our questions. This place is definitely worth your time and money. It's a good outing with your kids in any weather and any temperature.

Stonehaven Jewelry Gallery: what do users think?
Santi Roca: I decided to check the store out as a last minute Christmas gift shopping situation. I was immediately glad I did. Every piece I bought was unique and stunning. But the best part was my interactions with Ron. He is a truly nice guy who cares about his craft, and does an amazing job at it. I'm currently having him create a unique set of stud earrings, and I can't wait to see how they come out.
Marsha Adkins: Ron, who owns Stonehaven, is busy creating very beautiful jewelry. He is always genuine and able to greet you and be there for you.
Daniel Franks: Ron is a genuine and talented man. I'm so grateful for his kindness and his expert artistry helping to craft her engagement ring and our wedding rings. Ron you're awesome God bless!
Gibson Bennett: I visited Stonehaven with nothing but a vague idea for a ring and a price, and Ron was able to bring to life a beautiful ring. He suggested different gems and explained what the pros and cons were for each, and was able to explain to me what different price points would get me. He let us come in and see the mold to check the fit, and was able to change the metal used when our budget changed, and reduced the price when the market price of the metal went down. When we stopped in to pick up the final product a few weeks later and it was a little big, he corrected it right there - and on a Saturday no less! Ron is an extremely helpful and talented jeweler, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a personal jewelry experience.
susan thomas: Husband picked out an anniversary present here. It was made in a couple of hours. Great customer service. Lots of interesting stone selections. Very helpful to husband making his selection. Custom made!
Marianne Dotson Kelleher: I am still in awe of the ring Ron created out of my fiance's grandmother's diamond. I can't wait to pass it down ! Thank you Stonehaven
George Wait: Ron made my wedding band and it is amazing. Ron is and will be our 1st call for jewelry!
Zachary Shockley: Words cannot begin to express how thankful I am for Ron Lodholz and the Stonehaven Jewelry family! Ron designed and created a one of a kind Engagement Ring for my now Fiance that blew us away! He sent me pictures of the entire process from the beginning to the end and was very helpful and easy to work with! We now have a ring that will last a lifetime and will be passed down for generations to come! For any and all of your jewelry needs, I HIGHLY recommend Ron Lodholz and Stonehaven Jewelry!
Elissa Dellosso: I lost an earring that was a one of a kind and belonged to a set with a matching necklace. It was made of sterling silver and 18kt gold and was very unique. I went to Ron and asked if he could somehow recreate the earring. He did such a fantastic job that you can't tell the original from the new one. He also made a matching ring! I'm so impressed with all of his work. His jewelry creations are amazing.
Cheryl Simpson: I went to Stonehaven on the recommendation of a friend who was very pleased with the service she received. From the initial meeting, I felt that my wishes were understood and made me feel confident that I would be pleased with the end result. That was on a Tuesday, on Friday that same week, my ring was ready and the end result was beyond my expectations.It looked like it did 46 years ago. I have found the kind of jeweler that knows his stuff and understands his customers expectations. I will continue to use this firm for any future needs. I am a very very happy customer today!
HG S: I took a favorite piece of silver costume jewellery to Ron to get it recreated in white gold, and he did an excellent job. So when my husband wanted to surprise me for our twentieth wedding anniversary, he went back to Ron with his idea. Ron took the concept and ran with it, delivered a beautiful pendant with earrings to match right on schedule, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I have had many compliments on the unique designs - Ron's quality and creativity really stand out! We're sure to be back sometime soon... :)
Lyn Ogle: I have had several pieces of jewelry designed and created by Ron & receive complements on all of them. My particular favorite is a ring Ron created using my late husband's wedding band and my engagement diamond. I was uncertain as to exactly what I wanted but knew I wanted to keep the integrity of the band with the engraving inside the band. Ron created the perfect piece & I am extremely happy with the result! I can't recommend this business enough to my friends!
Nichole Baird: Custom jewelry does not begin to describe the experience at Stonehaven. Ron drew my ring on a tablet with a pencil after I described what I was envisioning. He added his signature creative flair and I loved what I saw. I was even more impressed when it came to life. Wow, I LOVE my ring today even more than when I had it remounted into a sterling setting about 4 years ago. My husband and I also learned so much more about jewelry making and the necessary ingredients for stronger platinum rings during this process. Thanks a million, Ron and staff! We'll be back every time we are wanting something that sparkles.
Mary Elliott Michael: Hometown kindness, superior customer service and masterful expert work.
Stefani Haze: Matt and Ron were great! I custom designed my engagement ring with their help and it came out PHENOMENAL. Not only was it finished in half the time they quoted me, but the kindness shown by this team is hard to find these days. I wish I could post a picture of this insanely epic ring they made me! So thrilled and can't wait to go back to discuss my fiance's band!
Ian hetzel: Ron runs his business the way we wish all businesses were run; honestly with amazing customer service. I can't recommend Stonehaven jewelry enough. From start to finish I was taken care of like I was the only customer there and even when the date I needed my rings changed to a week earlier Ron didn't blink an eye and simply said "Don't worry, we'll get it done". My fiancé and I love our rings and even though I'm moving soon whenever i need a jeweler i will contracting Stonehaven first
Angelina Franklin: My husband designed my wedding ring with Ron. I get compliments all the time on the design and timelessness of the setting. I recently lost a small stone out of the setting. We brought it in and they replaced it at NO CHARGE! I am always extremely happy with the service and expertise we get each and every time. No only is Ron a fantastic jewelry engineer, he also understands his clients!
Dionne Johnson: Great service! I was thrilled with the repair they did to my ring. They are very friendly and welcoming. They are now my go to for any jewelry repair. Also, while waiting for them to fix the my ring, I browsed their jewelry selection and WOW! Gorgeous, one-of-a-king pieces and the majority of them were created by Stonehaven
Greg Lewis: I needed a repair done on a ring, a simple job. Their rate for the repair was reasonable, and turn around on the job was great, the jeweler was able to do the repair as I waited. After the repair the card machine wouldn't read my debit card and I had no cash, he handed me the ring and said "Just bring by cash when you can, don't make a special trip." Great service, you can trust a business that trusts its customers. I will certainly recommend Stonehaven to anybody.
