My Fiancée recently needed her ring resized with a same day turnaround and despite being turned down, rather rudely, by other well known Atlanta Jewelers; Barry accommodated us with open arms and couldn't have been more thorough and friendly. The entire transaction was perfect and Barry, unlike the other jewelers, now has our business for the foreseeable future. Highly highly recommend! read more

Barry is an amazing jewelry artist and a pleasure to work with! We've been customers of his for over 30 years. Great quality, service and value! read more

Barry took care of some repairs quickly but the best thing about Barry is Barry. So knowledgeable, erudite and funny. Had common interests and good conversations. I love his bespoke designs and will be a forever client. read more

I was in dire need of having my necklace fixed. I was traveling into Buckhead from out of town for a wedding and needed a last minute repair of my favorite piece. Barry welcomed us in with some true southern hospitality. Even though he said he works by appointment only, he didn't turn us away from his door. He fixed my necklace in less than 20 minutes by fully replacing the clasp with a new one and it looks great. We had great conversation as he was working, Barry is a true music fan and a stand up gentleman!! Highly recommend visiting his shop/website! read more

Barry is an incredible jewelry- an artist with skills that are hard to find these days. Barry repaired my 40 year old husband's 1st Communion gold necklace that he has worn religiously since he was 8 years old to perfection again. It was worn out after 32 years of daily wear. He also repaired a pair of stud earrings for my daughter. They were by no means quality earrings, but they were important to her, so he did what he could to make them good as new. Barry is fair, honest, and does impeccable work. I highly recommend him to all in the Atlanta area. Worth the drive from the suburbs. He has been in business for decades and prides himself on his work. read more

Barry is amazing!!!! Barry came highly recommended by my father in law because he actually designed my mother in-law's engagement ring back in the late 1980's. His knowledge, experience, and expertise comes out in his work; he worked with us on designing the PERFECT engagement ring for me based on my preference and lifestyle (I wanted a lower profile, sturdy ring that wasn't set in prongs - he suggested the half bezel which was perfect). He also brought my husband's vision of his dream wedding band to life! I can't recommend him enough! read more

See all

Only amazing things to say about Barry Evan!!! He is knowledgeable, honest, and amazing at his craft. I love supporting businesses like his. Found him through Yelp and he did not disappoint. My engagement ring had a loose diamond that I needed to get fixed. I contacted him online and got a response fairly quickly, followed by a personal phone call to explain exactly where he was located. Not only did he repair my ring quickly and perfectly, but he also cleaned it for me and I feel like I have a brand new engagement ring!! If you need anyone for repairs, or even custom jewelry, he is your guy. The sweetest, kindest soul. Highly recommend. read more

Not many jewelers work with the metal palladium (platinum's lighter weight, naturally occurring cousin), so when I found out Barry had a long history with the metal, I was delighted to meet him. First, Barry resized a 1940s palladium engagement ring I bought from an estate jeweler online for my fiance. He was so nice and inexpensive, we asked Barry to design a new palladium wedding band to match that ring and HE NAILED IT!! Barry's ability to design rings that look like actual vintage rings is what sets him apart from the rest. He is a student of jewelry and there is no faking the funk with him. But what makes me love Barry is his honesty. He did not try to up-sell us on anything crazy and gave us great bang for the buck. I'm so happy we met Barry. He is a true artist and honest businessman who works with one of the greatest metals on Earth, palladium. I can't sing his praises enough. Thank you Barry!! read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would. I went to Barry with my engagement ring that had a few loose stones. He was prompt with his replies to my email to set up a time to meet with him and was very accommodating. He's the type of person that gives off the genuine, honest, feel good vibe. He gave me an extremely reasonable quote and when I went to pick it up he had tightened a few extra prongs and cleaned it! It's always nice to go go a jeweler this day in age and not feel like you're being ripped off. Barry Russ, restoring my faith in humanity! read more

A small diamond side stone (chip diamonds) in my engagement ring fell out. I found out some quotes at local places to get it replaced, and it was quite a pretty penny. Thanks to yelpers, I found Barry Evans Russ and not only was my bank account grateful for his help, but he cleaned the rings, resized both rings in the set, replaced the missing stone and two others that were loose (we wanted him to check that as well, just in case any more were on the way to go missing). He is quite busy and you have to make an appointment, but he does such good quality work and you get the sense you are handing your jewelry over to a true artist who has devoted his life to this craft. I could only imagine what a custom piece by him is like! read more

I was looking for a custom jeweler to make a ring. I stumbled upon Barry's website and decided to give him a call. I met him at his shop in Buckhead and we discussed what I wanted. Fast forward a week and a half, and I have the most perfect ring on my right hand - designed and fabricated by Barry. His pricing estimate was spot on and it was ready exactly when he said it would be. Barry does excellent work and is just a really cool dude (he also has fantastic taste in music). You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers...anytime I need jewelry made or repaired, I'm going to him. read more

Barry fixed the setting on my palladium solitaire ring. It's perfect now!! Fixed a day early. Didn't have to part with my ring for more than 24 hrs. read more

Barry is the best! I took my Great Grandmother's ring in to be resized. He had it ready the following day and had cleaned and polished it to where it was even more beautiful than I'd realized. He is welcoming and professional and I highly recommend him! read more

Barry is a wonderfully helpful jeweler! I brought him a very thin chain necklace that broke and he was able to fix it for me and at a reasonable rate. I highly recommending supporting him and his small business! read more

Honest service and high quality work. I took 3-4 pieces that had broken over time; now it's like I have a new set of jewelry! Small place, so it's not a bad idea to call ahead to make sure he's available. Definitely worth making an appointment. read more

Barry was awesome! We had two rings that were a little loose, both old, dainty, family heirlooms that I was petrified to have work done on. Barry was so easy to work with and really made us feel confident about the whole process. During the consultation, he walked through each step to size down the rings (there were hand drawn diagrams involved!) as well as sizing alternatives like balls and priced everything out. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the best thing about Barry is that he's very honest and you know you can trust what he says. Some other jewelers might try to prod you into spending more on this and that, but Barry gave us his honest opinion that we should probably keep the eternity band, that would have cost a whole lot to size due to the way it was constructed, as is and size the engagement ring down to wear snug over it. This saved us hundreds of dollars, literally. Our fragile little ring came back perfectly sized, clean and sparkly. I would encourage anyone needing work done on their rings to go see him. Thanks again, Barry! read more

Barry did excellent work! He was also honest, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Quick response and turnaround time as well. Very fair price. I had an heirloom engagement ring that needed to be sized down 6 sizes, which I wasn't sure was even possible. He did a beautiful job restoring the ring (needed cleaning and prong touch up work in addition to the re-sizing) and it fits perfectly and looks gorgeous. I could not be happier or recommend him enough. He truly cares about his customers. Thank you Barry!! read more

Barry is great, very quick and thorough, can repair anything from diamond rings to costume jewelry! Highly recommend!

Barry is wonderful!!! I stopped by to have him look at my engagement ring setting and he was able to smooth the clasps in 30 seconds. I am thinking about having him resize my ring as well. If you are looking for someone who is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely trustworthy, this is your guy! I will be going to him for years to come! read more

I am so pleased to write a review for my new friend and jeweler, Barry Evan Russ! To find someone who is an artist, honest, caring, friendly - who tells you what he can do and then does it - a delightful experience. I found Barry after reading numerous reviews when searching for a jeweler. I have been a bit intimidated about trying to do something with a few pieces of family jewelry that I inherited - and they have been sitting in a drawer for years. My husband has begged me to find a ring to symbolize our marriage/friendship of 6+ years. I'm older and more practical than I once was and I have put him off on this for all 6 of our years together. After reading reviews on Barry, I decided to give this a try. Barry responded to my request very quickly and we set up a time for me to bring my jewelry items into his shop. He listened to me - he never made me feel dumb - never tried to sell me more than I told him I wanted to spend. A couple of items I had he quickly told me were not worth trying to do anything with so I took those home. But I had two diamonds that were almost identical in size and shape and Barry began to search for a setting that would work for me. We sat together at his computer and looked at images. I am now wearing my new ring and I could not be happier! Barry does wonderful work and I enjoyed my experience with him so much. If you are not into the big box stores or intimidating high-end jewelery stores - if you want a simple, honest experience - I assure you that you will not be disappointed with Barry Evan Russ. Thank you for the ring and the friendship, Barry! I hope to see you again. read more
