My husbands family has been shopping and getting jewelry made here for years, Rick does an amazing job every time! Everyone here is so sweet and helpful! But mostly, I’m in love with the piece we had made for my mom. It turned out so beautiful! 11/10 would recommend!

Im not a frequent jewelry buyer, but both times Ive bought jewelry in Gainesville Rick has been absolutely phenomenal to work with.He is very helpful working around your timeframe for a piece as much as possible and has a terrific eye for understanding what youre looking for and making sure you get exactly what you want.I recently got engaged and I could not have asked for a more perfect engagement ring after working with Rick. He helped craft it exactly the way I wanted it and my new fiancée could not be happier! If you need a jeweler, dont bother going anywhere else. Rick is the man!

I had such a wonderful and pleasant experience while doing business with Sanders Jewelers. Rick resized three birthstones rings within a few days and each out turned out beautiful and looked brand new. He also custom made two crosses & a custom band from an older princess ring. He was very nice and professional taking on the big task. He gave input on how to make the jewelry last for a long time and be beautiful at the same time. Every piece of jewelry I have received back from them has exceeded my expectations and turned out truly amazing. Will definitely be back for any future business! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely the only jewelers that I will go to. Rick not only helped us pick the perfect band to go with my engagement ring but has made changed to both my wedding band and engagement ring to make it perfect. I will only trust Sanders Jewelers with anything my ring needs. Customer for life.

There are not many places like Sanders Jewelers. The owner Rick, is present and is very knowledgeable with decades of experience. He designs and builds custom pieces in house and is just as much an artist as he is a jeweler. He stocks plenty of inventory and has an excellent showroom. You never feel any pressure at Sanders, which is why we keep coming back!

My diamond fell out of my wedding ring so rather than sending it to some warehouse I decided to go local. Rick and his staff were kind, helpful and went above and beyond my expectations. I will be buying and repairing my jewelry with them from now on. 10/10 and highly recommend.

I had two rings that I hoped to have re-designed and combined into one. Initially I took my rings elsewhere and was told that what I had envisioned could not be done. Before giving up, I decided to pay a visit to Rick at Sanders Jewelers. He carefully examined my rings and confidently assured me that he could make it happen. The final product was perfect and turned out even better than I could have imagined! Needless to say I am extremely pleased with my new ring and can highly recommend Rick for any of your jewelry repairs or re-designs. From start to finish everyone at Sanders Jewelers is welcoming, professional, helpful and caring going above and beyond for their customers!

I presented a ring to Sanders jewelers that was 34 years old. I wanted to take the stones out of this ring and put them into an anniversary band. They did an amazing job. I was touched by how beautiful the ring is. Thank you for your work.

I highly recommend coming here. The owner, Rick Sanders gave me a great spark notes version on what makes up an engagement ring. He showed me the differences between cuts, color, carat, and clarity. He is also a master jeweler, so he can ultimately do whatever you want. Definitely come here to show for jewelry and if you’re looking for the perfect ring.

I was thrilled with the work that Rick did on my existing engagement ring. I had been trying to find a unique wedding band for my 20th anniversary and could never find what I wanted. Rick suggested using my engagement ring and adding diamonds down the sides like many of the current rings have. It turned out beautiful! I love that I still have my original wedding ring for sentimental reasons but have a more current look now. I would definitely go back to Sanders for any of my jewelry needs.

I cannot say enough good things about Sander’s Jewelers and the treatment I received there. After having had a nightmare experience with another local independent jeweler, I was lucky enough to stumble upon Sander’s. The work I needed done was of great emotional import to me, and when I contacted Rick at Sander’s Jewelers, I wasn’t even sure if the damage done by the other jeweler could be repaired. Rick took the time to sit down with me and showed genuine concern for my situation. He assured me that he could do what I needed done and worked to make sure he knew exactly what it was I wanted. The finished piece is better than I had imagined, and he did it in less than half the time he had quoted me. Rick is a master craftsman, a true artisan, and a nice guy on top of that. Any jeweler can replace the battery in your watch, but if you’re looking for something meaningful, and the beauty and craftsmanship of the work is important to you, I don’t think you could possibly go wrong with Sander’s.

Rick Sanders worked closely with my husband to design the most stunning engagement ring EVER! We are both so pleased with the final result. The detail and craftsmanship are beyond what he / we expected. Rick and his staff were so personable and went above and beyond throughout the entire process (even working overtime, I hear). If you are looking for an amazing, trustworthy and talented jeweler than be sure to shop at Sanders Jewelers! You wont be disappointed!

My fiancé had Rick make a custom engagement ring, and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect ring. It’s even more special because it’s truly one of a kind. Forget Tiffany’s. Sanders all the way.Edit: just when I thought Sanders couldn’t get any better, Rick made a beautiful custom wedding band to go with the engagement ring. The set is a work of art!

You guys played such a large part of this monumental moment in our lives and we couldnt possibly thank you both enough for the helpfulness & patience you provided during the process. I had no idea how picky I would be when it came to picking out a ring. But you guys did an amazing job of helping us pick out all of the perfect little details. I love my ring!

We have been incredibly pleased with everything from Sanders. The staff are very friendly and have always made us feel like valued customers from remembering our kids names to what types of jewelry I like to know what to show me. The quality of their products and attention to detail is also exceptional. They did a fantastic job creating a custom piece for me that has my daughters’ birthstones in it and got it done in a timely manner. We have been very pleased with them and will continue to use them for our jewelry purchases. Thanks Sanders!

Rick, Andrea and the whole team at Sanders did an outstanding job helping me get my engagement ring! They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful from the first time that I walked into the store. They helped me pick the perfect diamond and setting, which I never could have done by myself or online. In addition, I thought the pricing was extremely fair and came with fantastic service the whole way. Thank you Rick & Andrea for making me the perfect engagement ring!!! We will definitely be back for wedding bands!

Rick and his team have been wonderful in working with me to create my dream wedding ring. I was able to pick out my own diamond and from there we designed the ring to my particular specifications.

I love the staff at Sanders Jewelers. They helped my husband and I design an upgraded three table engagement ring. I searched the four corners of the internet for what I wanted but could not find it. I knew I would have to design something custom. Who else would I select to design my ring but one of only 3 master jewelers in the State of Florida. I was nervous about ordering the ring without seeing it first. Needless to say Rick and his team have developed an amazing process where they sketch the ring by hand, draw it in 3D AutoCAD, print it in 3D wax, and then finally build the ring. I could see the proportions, size, and details every step of the way. The staff guided us through stone selections - all of which were top notch. They advised ways we could save money and improved on our ideas at every step. Needless to say when we picked up the ring it was more gorgeous than we could have ever imagined. We couldnt be happier. Rick will design and build all our custom jewelry from here out. They truly care about the service and product they produce and will not stop until you are happy. Great team!

From the moment I stepped in, I was met with kind, knowledgeable, and the utmost professional staff...all aspects of the repair were explained, as well as some additional and enlightening facts that I was very happy to have.

Sanders has been great to work with! I recently had a necklace made from my grandmothers wedding ring, and I chose my own engagement ring at Sanders. I had an idea in my head walking into the store for both pieces of jewelry. Andrea listened carefully to what I had in mind, and helped me find something I like even more than what I walked in thinking I wanted! They have been responsive, personable, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Sanders!

Rick and his team have helped me out several times, and I cant say enough to thank them. Google only goes to 5 stars. Ive brought several ideas for custom pieces to Sanders and the results have been great. The latest piece was a pendant for my mothers birthday and it really came out perfect. Not only is Rick Sanders a great person to work and collaborate with, but his team members, like Andrea, are tops - great to work with. Ill be back soon, and my wife is happy about that!

I needed to get my wedding rings sized and soldered together. Sanders Jewelers explained the process and complications that could occur due to the diamonds around the bands. When I went to pick up my rings they showed me pictures of the process. I appreciated their transparency and the quality of work!!! I strongly recommend Sanders Jewelers for all your jewelry needs!! Supporting small business is the best way to go to get the personalized and exceptional service everyone deserves!!!

We go to Sanders Jewelers for all things jewelry!We started working with Rick back in the day when the 3 of us designed and he made our engagement ring. Since then, we have enjoyed visiting his beautiful store with a staff that is always friendly and super knowledgeable. Sanders has gorgeous new pieces and we have also trusted them to do repairs and revamps for us. We simply do not go anywhere else!

Rick is amazing! My husband bought my engagement ring from Rick 7 years ago and had it custom-made without my knowledge. It was everything I hoped for and more. 7 years later we wanted another ring to match the style. Rick was able to look at the ring, design a new custom ring to match it, and the end result is unbelievable! Truly a gorgeous setting. We traveled from Orlando just to see him again because his work is that incredible. He is an artist! His staff is also wonderful, and communicated with us throughout the whole process. I would always recommend Sanders for custom jewelry with a personal touch.

Sanders is an exceptional jeweler, they provided a wonderful, patient and enjoyable experience.

Andrea and the Sanders Jewelers staff embody what it means to have excellent customer service. My now fiancé and I went into Sanders a few months prior to getting engaged and we immediately were greeted with the best service. Andrea helped us find an engagement band that we both loved and then helped my fiancé through all the steps after – making everything about this experience so pleasant, enjoyable, and stress-free, just how it should be! Andrea even went out of her way to make sure that the ring was available prior to the holiday season – making our Christmas all the more special. We are so thankful for this team and the part they played in this new season of our lives. We highly recommend Sanders Jewelers for all your jewelry needs!

Rick Sanders is an amazing jeweler! He is a true artist that took my vision of my engagement ring and made it better than I had ever dreamed. With his state of the art digital equipment he was able to show me each stage of the process from the idea to the final product before making my dream ring with perfect precision by his skilled hand! I can’t recommend him enough! His store is full of gorgeous pieces at all price points, but I will always be partial to a Rick Sanders original!!!❤️

Review №51

I purchased a vintage ring from a jeweler in Portland, Oregon, and the ring came with paperwork (from a reputable gem lab) attesting to the stones various qualities. When my fiancee took it in to Rick to be sized, he examined the stone and suggested that it might be synthetic. Sure enough, it was! For the next six weeks, Rick patiently acted as our local gem-guru, as the remote jewelry sent stone after stone as possible replacements. At ANY point, Rick could have steered us towards buying something from him (particularly as our frustration with the remote jewelry grew), but he didnt. Rick showed us consistent kindness and patience, answering emails, text messages, phone calls, and giving us his time --free of charge!-- looking at the candidate replacement stones and educating us on sapphires. In the end, I asked Rick if *he* could find potential replacement stones. He did, within about two days. He set the stone (fixing the head of the setting and sizing the ring, too) for free, just in time to be used in our ceremony.Frankly, I cant praise Rick and his assistants enough. They are all professional, kind, knowledgable and friendly to a fault. He has gained our respect, appreciation, and our business for as long as his store is open.

Love, love, love Sanders Jewelers. I had a diamond wrap for my solitaire that had a stone fall out.

Wow! Sanders Jewelers blew me away from the moment we first walked into their shop. They were friendly (not pushy as some jewelry places can be haha) and helpful when we were just window shopping one afternoon. We decided to customize and I had no idea where to start. Rick guided us all the way through the process, mixing all my ideas together into the most beautiful ring. Andrea and Melinda were also a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be returning to them and would recommend them 110%.

My experience with Rick was amazing. He was so easy to work with and even though I knew he was very busy at times, he always made me feel like I was his highest priority. You will never buy another piece of Jewelry anywhere else. His prices blew me away for what we got.

Rick has been a family friend for years and consistently provides quality work, whether it be creating a new piece or bringing old pieces back to life. Most recently he custom made my husbands wedding band which will forever be a once in a lifetime piece. He is very detail oriented and made sure we were a 100% satisfied with my husbands new ring. He also did my engagement ring and I consistently get compliments. Both pieces are gorgeous. For a truly phenomenal jeweler, Rick Sanders is your man.

Rick, Melinda, and Miriam are exceptional individuals. Not only are they extremely creative and talented, they are personable, knowledgeable, patient, and well, just great folks! It is rare these days to find individuals in business that will stand behind what they sell and truly want their customers to be completely satisfied. When you deal with Sanders you will find, not only do you leave with custom, one-of-a-kind jewelry, you are completely satisfied with the end result. For me, they took some loose stones, a rough sketch my husband drew, and create a pendant that is beyond exquisite!My husbands and my experience with Sanders Jewelers has been exceptional. We have and will continue to recommend them to friends and family. You cannot go wrong by allowing Sanders to create your dream jewelry!

This is long over due, but Sanders is an excellent jeweler. I chose Sanders for an engagement ring and they were exactly what I needed in helping me find the perfect ring that was in my price range and customized to my liking. When they didnt have exactly what I was looking for, they searched with me for it so it could be ordered. They were fast, never pushy, and very patient no matter how picky I was. My wife and I were so impressed we went back and got our wedding rings there as well. And even though I was extremely picky again, their patience and professionalism continued, and we were able to get the perfect rings customized for us. I highly recommend Sanders Jewelers to anyone.

I cant say enough how wonderful the Sanders Jewelers staff is to work with, especially Andrea. For years I had wanted to combine some of my jewlery into one amazing ring but I never could find a jeweler to help me with a design. Andrea (and Rick) made it happen. I spent a Saturday at the store giving Andrea my vision and she nailed it. I love my custom ring and I have never gotten so many compliments on a piece of jewelry. If you want high quality and innovative design, Sanders Jewelers is the place to trust for all your jewelry needs.

Review №67

The search for my ring started on the Christmas tree lighting in Haile Village, when my girlfriend and I walked into Sanders just to get her ring sized. I looked at several places for the perfect band, but only Sanders had a setting that was exactly what she wanted. His collection of settings is awesome and he really takes the time to find one that you both like and is within your price range. They took their time to teach me about the things I should be looking for (because before this process I was ignorant about jewelry). Out of all the places I shopped at, Sanders Jewelers truly had the best, unique selection. They have a wide variety of diamonds, and if you do not find something, they will make the effort to find something that suits your needs.My favorite part about Sanders Jewelers is the atmosphere. You can tell that everyone there loves what they do, and that they are truly passionate about jewelry. The store is owned by a very professional and experienced jeweler, and is run by what seems like a family. They take the time to know their clients and definitely go out of their way to help you. I consider the team at Sanders key players in this important decision in my life. There will always be a special place in my heart for them. DEFINITELY SHOP HERE!!! I recommend this Jeweler to anyone that I see in person.

Review №69

From the moment I met Rick, I knew I wanted to give him my business. Heres why: My gf wanted a very unique cut center stone for her engagement ring, and Rick looked long and hard before realizing having a stone cut would our best option. He sent off one of his own smaller diamonds to be cut (at no charge to me) to ensure that his cutter could cut it exactly the way we wanted it. After viewing how well the small stone was cut, I purchased a diamond from Rick and it was sent to be cut. We were running up on my proposal deadline, and Rick fast tracked the design and manufacturing of the ring and got it back to me just in time. The ring came out UNBELIEVABLE. It was better than I could ever imagined!! The night I picked it up, he had already stayed late to finish my ring, and we still chatted for over an hour. Working with Rick is like working with an old friend. Thats just the type of people Rick, his wife, and the others at Sanders Jewelers all are. I highly recommend Sanders Jewelers. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! Thank you Rick from turning what was a becoming a stressful experience into a truly enjoyable one. My fiance (she said yes) loves her one-of-a-kind engagement ring!

I was referred to Sanders by a co - worker to have my Grandmothers wedding rings repaired and restored so I could enjoy them as my own. I was immediately pleased after walking into the store, both the women at the counter were eager to help me. Im sure it was slow at the time and they have busy times throughout the day but they were both so kind and helpful. The cost and details of the repairs needed were fully explained and okayed by me and the rings were ready to be picked up on time. Rick met me and offered advice on how I can maintain their quality and durability for years to come. The rings looked absolutely stunning.. I was floored! They look flawless and brand new without taking away from their vintage beauty. Every single person I came into contact with in his store and over the phone (both women and the gentleman in the front) were the epitome of excellent customer service and I can honestly say Im so glad that I brought my treasured Grandmothers rings to Rick. Thank you so so much!

Perfection. Thats the best way to describe Sanders Jewelers from the product they create to the service they provide. I started with a pretty good idea of what I wanted my engagement ring to look like and they took those ideas to the next level. Miriams knowledge of design was incredibly helpful. I had no idea there were so many options but she helped me sort through it all from start to finish to design my perfect engagement ring . Once the design was complete Rick got to work and created the most exquisite ring I could imagine and brought my dream to reality. This team also went the extra mile to meet the deadline my now fiancé had put on them and they all worked covertly to make it the most wonderful surprise proposal ever! Thank you so much to Rick, Miriam, and the whole team at Sanders Jewelers. I am SO excited to soon start designing our wedding bands!

Rick Sanders and Miriam have created what could be undoubtedly the best experience of you and your partners life. Walking in with a semi-clear notion of what Id like in an engagement ring, Rick started right out to assist and develop my knowledge in an easily spoken and professional manner. Miriam can work wonders for bespoke rings, my fiances engagement ring is a constant source of admiration. Their devotion to the customer is paramount and this is evidenced as they personally become available for your every need and concern. I went to Rick Sanders with a complex idea and came away with a happy engagement joined by my wonderful fiance, Sanders Jewelers assisted in this journey. Their professional and descriptive service is why Rick is well-known in Gainesville, FL and in the Southeast. If you are in the area and searching for a master jeweler for a ring or bespoke jewelry, Rick Sanders and his staff will enhance, define and create a memory that your significant other will cherish forever.

What an amazing customer service experience! Rick and his staff are the best there is at what they do. I bought my fiancés engagement ring at Sanders jewelers, and she absolutely loved it. I decided I would stay local if I could find a jewelry that could deliver in selection as much as they would in customer service, Sanders Jewelers absolutely did! I had the pleasure to deal with Rick, from the second I picked up the phone just to inquire he came across as the helpful and honest guy that he is. He spent as much time as I needed on the phone without even knowing me. I was shocked to see that once we started the selection process Rick always did his absolute best to accommodate for my crazy hospital schedule in order to give me as much time as I needed to pick just the perfect ring. He was also an instrumental part to make sure the ring was ready for me to take to Switzerland, where our proposal happened. I would highly recommend to anybody in this position to visit Sanders and see it for yourself, I feel great knowing that the beautiful ring I purchased came from Sanders, they will stand by their product and are truly honest people. Thank you again!

I could not be happier with my custom jewelry! It turned out much better than the computer renderings. The guys at Sanders do a wonderful job of making sure you are satisfied! From the moment I walked in the door with just an idea to the moment of seeing my idea in form and walking out the door with it wrapped in a Sanders box, I was thoroughly pleased.

Sanders Jewelers is wonderful!When my husband was shopping for my engagement ring he knew that he wanted to work with a local jeweler not one of those chain jeweler stores. Upon much research and visits to several stores he stumbled into Sanders and immediately knew he was in the right place. To this day (almost 5 years later) I still love my engagement ring and get TONS of compliments on it.Rick and his team are knowledgeable, professional and helpful but they dont hover over you pressuring you into purchasing something. They are concerned with making sure that you get what you want at a fair price.My hubby sent two of his close friends to Rick when they were shopping for engagement rings and both friends decided to work with him. If they dont have what you want in the store Rick can design anything you imagine.Stop in, look around and meet Rick and his team. Once you experience Sanders Jewelers its tough to imagine shopping anywhere else because they really are the best of all worlds.

Great experience! Everyone was so nice and the products are the very best. My visit to buy a wedding band made me want to buy more jewelry from them because everything is so nice! Best bet for Gainesville or anywhere else.

My husband and I have worked with Rick and Melinda and have been so happy with their creativity, talent, and dedication to service and quality! They are truly nice, honest and trustworthy people who care about their customers. I have referred numerous friends to them and all have been beyond happy! One of my friends has even moved out of state and still chose to work with Rick on her custom designed piece! That says a lot!

I visited several jewelers in town. Some were helpful, others were downright awful in terms of customer service and helping me find the right engagement ring.The moment I walked into Sanders, it was clear that was where Id be buying from. I was able to work personally with Rick, the owner, and he was a God-send. I was able to pick out the unique style of ring I was looking for, and Rick was awesome helping get the custom order in quickly (I was on a short turnaround). The time he spent with me and the care with which he dealt with me were unparalleled. Extremely professional with an undeniably personal touch.Unexpectedly, my girlfriend of 2.5 years broke things off shortly after I had ordered the ring. Rick, once again, was a life-saver. He was able to help me get back almost all of what I paid for the ring, despite there being nothing in it financially for him. He did it all with a smile and the same personal touch that he and every member of his staff seemed to make a priority.I wont be buying jewelry anywhere but Sanders in the future. You shouldnt either. Finding great quality and a personal touch isnt easy, but Rick and company serve up both in spades. Highly recommend.

I had searched endlessly to find the “dream” wedding band that would complement my unique engagement ring without detracting from it. I was at my wit’s end… until I came across Sanders Jewelers. Leah worked endlessly with me to help design the perfect ring, and Rick was there every step of the way to ensure its quality and beauty. We even managed to get the full inscription I wanted by placing part of it on the band of my engagement ring! In the end, it is exactly what I had hoped for… and it even worked out to match the ring my husband chose for himself! I could not be happier. Thank you, Sanders Jewelers!

Rick is not only an incredible jeweler, but hes also a great person as well. I worked with Rick over the course of several months to design the perfect engagement ring for my future wife. With his patience and expertise, Rick produced the most beautiful ring Ive ever seen! And my fiance agreed with a joyous YES!I recommend visiting Sanders Jewelers for any of your jewelry needs. Theres no limit to what he can do!Thank you Rick!

After shopping around 5 jeweler stores in Gainesville and Orlando, I settled my heart on a ring from Sanders Jewelers. What prompted my decision is not only the high quality of the diamond and the design, but also most importantly the quality of the service I received at Sanders Jewelers. Leah is always super nice every time I go. She was so patient with me so that I can find that ideal ring. Rick is very welcoming guy and a true craftsman. He even gave me a tour of the workshop where he customizes some of the ring designs. It was a great experience. I would definitely go back.

Sanders is Awesome! I have been a client for 4 years after another local jeweIer took advantage of me.I cant say enough great things about Andrea and Rick. First of all HONESTY. Andrea listens to what you are looking for and uses her creative ablilities to find or design it. Rick is the most highly skilled jeweler ever. This team can deliver and have made my dreams com true!

Most jewelers are just salesmen. They dont create the jewelry. They cant custom design it. They have to send your rings out to some stranger to be rhodium plated. They have to wait until Thursday to repair your jewelry because thats when the real jeweler comes by.But Rick is a REAL JEWELER! He does all of that in-house! He has our business for life.

I went into Sanders Jewelers inquiring whether they would fix my (expensive) sunglasses. Not only did they fix my glasses despite being a jeweler, they also took the time to explain to me how to properly care for my glasses so as to avoid the issue in the future. Brilliant customer service! Thank you Sanders!

Rick Sanders and his staff are amazing! My expectations on every level were far exceeded. I was able to participate in my custom jewelery piece from the original design to reality. I would send anyone needing jewelry to Sanders Jewelers enthusiastically. I am a customer for life. Thank you Rick!

Sanders is fabulous. I took my great-grandmothers engagement ring there (art deco diamond and sapphires, ca 1905) to be refurbished and they did an amazing job. It was missing a stone and the platinum inlay and filigree was really worn down but now it looks brand new. Rick is a true artist and craftsman who brought back the engraving and the shine of the ring -- all for a very reasonable price (and to be honest, with a ring like this its worth paying more for such great work). I have worried for years where to take it and I am so glad I decided on Sanders. I cant stop looking at it! Thank you so much, Rick and Miriam.

After reading the plethora of good reviews for Sanders Jewelers I decided to go in and look for an engagement ring. The selection was awesome, and Miriam offered to get more diamonds in if I didnt like any that they already had. The service at Sanders is amazing they helped the stressful situation of picking a engagement ring turn into a walk in the park. If you are looking for a great master jeweler look no further!

Rick and Miriam did a fantastic job creating my one-of-a-kind engagement ring! I am eagerly awaiting the finished product on a matching wedding band. Every visit to the store is a pleasure - everyone there is knowledgeable, friendly, and makes you feel like youre an old friend. You wont be disappointed!

I have enjoyed working with Rick and his team for years. As a first-time customer, Rick took my rough scribbles and transformed them into a beautiful, 100% unique, engagement ring. After that, I have returned to the Sanders team on every jewelry-gift occasion, large and small - always a unique gift. I look forward to working with them on custom projects for as long as Im married!

Everyone at Sanders has been both extremely helpful and extremely friendly. My husband bought my engagement ring there and we went back for our wedding bands. We have both been blown away by how amazing everyone is.I lost one of the stones in my engagement ring and I had never been in the store before. I expected a hassle to get it fixed and had the exact opposite experience. When I took off my ring and handed it over they immediately knew who I was by looking at it, they remembered my now husband and were even able to tell me about our engagement story (again, my first time in the store). Wonderful family business!!!

Greatest jeweler! Ive since moved away but wishing now that I was close enough to have my jewelry fixed. He fixed my custom engagement ring and was so knowledgeable and helpful.
