My platinum, diamond encrusted diamond solitaire ring was in terrible shape. One of the small…read morediamond "chips" was missing. The band had flattened out on one side, creating 2 gaps in the platinum. The ring was filthy. It's hard to describe the awful shape the ring was in, but someone said it looked like it was run over by a truck. By the time Knutson's was done, my 20 year old ring looked BRAND NEW!! I couldn't be happier! Scott was so helpful and professional, Julie was so friendly and Dolce was simply adorable. The jewelry that's also for sale there is gorgeous! I highly highly highly recommend Knutson Jewelers!

I brought my wife in under the guise of just getting her ring checked, making sure all the jewels were secure, and maybe having Scott fill in the razor-thin part of the bottom. What we left with was nothing short of amazing--a newly rebuilt, stunning ring that still resembled the original but looked brand new. Scott took his time and turned our 20th-anniversary rebuild into a custom dream. He managed to create a beautiful new piece that still felt like "the ring," honoring its history while giving it a fresh life. I still can't believe the transformation he accomplished, especially for such a reasonable price! If you're looking for a jeweler who truly cares about craftsmanship and attention to detail, Knutson Jewelers are the best. This place is a true gem in Clovis, and I can't recommend them enough!

On Thursday, January 22, 2026, I visited Fresno Coin Gallery and parked in a nearby lot that I…read morebelieved was permitted for customer use. Approximately 15 minutes later, I returned to find that my vehicle had been towed. I was later informed that a neighboring business enforces towing for vehicles parked in their designated area. Unfortunately, the posted signage was unclear as to which parking spaces belonged to which business, which led to the misunderstanding. Despite this situation being completely out of Fresno Coin Gallery's control, the owner demonstrated exceptional kindness and professionalism. He personally drove me to the tow yard to retrieve my vehicle and then to the insurance office so I could obtain a copy of my registration, as I had recently renewed it and did not yet have the physical copy. In addition, he paid the $600 towing fee out of his own pocket. This experience speaks volumes about his integrity and commitment to customer service. I am extremely grateful for his help and generosity, and I will absolutely continue doing business with Fresno Coin Gallery. I highly recommend them to others.

I had some inherited jewelry that was too small to wear so I took it in to sell.

I took the offer I was given and was able to buy presents with some of the money. Very happy with the whole process.

This is the best jewelry shop in Fresno it's a family run business. They work with your budget and…read morethey hand make jewelry to your exact specifications. You can tell by the jewelry they made for me they are MASTERS at their trade and the BEST in the business. There prices are extremely affordable for custom jewelry, - I honestly don't know why this store didn't receive the Fresno Bee's Best Award for a Jewelry store.

Oh no! What could we improve?! Let's start here…read more I purchased a watch and wedding ring 7 years ago from the Diamond Gallery. Both have weathered daily wear well. Very happy with my purchase. I Left the watch and ring with them for a minor repair early in May. I told them I wanted to remove a link to resize the watchband and asked if they could refurbish the watch case. The ring was missing a tiny diamond chip. I needed the missing diamond chip replaced. June rolls around and so far I had heard nothing from anyone about any progress. 3 weeks pass before I got curious and impatient and decided to call to find out what was going on. Ken says "the diamonds are on back order and that the watch would be about $190 to repair. We didn't know if you wanted to spend that much to get the watch repaired so we didn't know what to do. Hmmm. Here's a novel idea. PICK UP A PHONE AND CALL ME ON THE NUMBER ON THE ESTIMATE! Jeez. Ask a question. You might just get an answer. It made me wonder how long my watch would have sat there if I hadn't bothered to call and check? I explained to Ken that yes, like the estimate says, repair the watch and resize the band by taking out a link. He asked if I wanted the crystal replaced. I say yes. It's not a super expensive watch but it has sentimental value and I wanted it completely repaired. Three more weeks pass and no news. No call. I call again. They say the store is closed for a week for vacation and they don't have any information on my watch or ring. But they will call me as soon as they are open again. Finally call me yesterday ( it's now mid July. It's been well over ten weeks since I dropped it off.) They ask, what are we supposed to do to the ring? I said it was supposed to get one of the diamonds replaced that is missing. He says "Oh. It looks like it's already been replaced. I guess you can pick it up tomorrow." Wife goes to pick up the watch and ring and they ask her, "Did he want the crystal replaced? It's got a couple of scratches in it." I told my wife to just pay for whatever they did and bring it home. I certainly didn't want to leave it with them again for another 10 weeks. She gets it home. I put it on only to find out they never took a link out to resize the band. Do I recommend them? Ha. This level of incompetence or complacency is really hard to find. I can understand a miscommunication. A mistake. This minor task was a train wreck from start to finish. The other funny thing? When I dropped the watch off, I asked the guy if they had a Citizen watch like mine except with a green dial face instead of the blue and he immediately said no no. I can check around but that would be pretty hard to find." As I was walking out the door, I looked to the left and in their watch display window I saw one sitting there with a green face. I just now decided to order it. On Amazon. The only assumption I can come up with, is that this is place must be just a storefront for laundering money. I can't imagine how they can stay in business with this level of customer service. I'm kidding of course, but yeah, I'm thinking I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

This is one adorable little boutique! But don't be scared because I used the word…read more"boutique"....They have items in various price ranges!! Everything I looked at was under $40. I have walked in here a couple different times and easily found unique gifts for between $10-$15. They have tons of jewelry and clothes as well-hence the name bauble & thread. They also sell a variety of accessories, and fun gifts. One part of their clothing selection is called "Salvaged", these are unique pieces that are either "pre-owned" or "gently used". We looked through them and they all looked in wonderful condition, and they are all very pretty. (If anyone knows what Poshmark is, that is how "Salvaged" got started and continues, in addition through the store. The owner of Salvaged is the daughter of the owner of bauble & thread. Yay Shopping Local!) I enjoy coming here to look around, and seeing what I can find, but also this is one of those places that I know I'm going to find a fun, unique gift at. It has become my "go to" place for that. *Bonus!* The bags they give you for your purchases are adorable with their stickers and extra ribbons, that you can easily use it as the gift wrap! I recommend you try this place out!

Lovely new boutique in the heart of Old Town. The feel and style is strongly reminiscent to…read moreAnthropologie and Urban outfitters. The price point is definitely cheaper than Anthro... I would say they are right under the Urban Outfitters price point. ($25.99-$79.99) They have a nice selection of plus-size clothing as well; it's always a nice touch when a boutique is all-inclusive. I saw so many things I wanted but I have an overwhelming wardrobe and decided not to add to it. (Proud of my will power) ! Jewelry selection is out of this world! I did bite the bullet on some cute hoop earrings ($12.00 each)...The boutique also carries delicious scented candles, organic beauty products and purses/accessories. I am super picky with fashion, and nothing was tacky. Impressive! I do recommend this boutique for all you ladies who want to add feminine,trendy articles of clothing and accessories to your wardrobe. Especially if you love the Anthropologie-type fashion.
