Engagement ring. Photo by Sonya Yruel
Joanna M.

I'm getting married next month, and besides first meeting and falling in love, the whole process all began with Taylor & Jacobson. My fiancé commissioned Catherine Galloway to design and make my engagement ring last year, and she made a beautiful ring which he helped give some basic design direction, knowing that I love sapphires. When I was a little girl, I saw a movie on A&E with Liz Taylor wearing an opulent opera necklace with sapphires and diamonds, and the image stuck with me. When my fiancé opened the ring box and surprised me, I was stunned by the gorgeous and elegant ring which was a much more "me" version than the over the top Liz Taylor adornment. While I wasn't a part of the plan, he said that he enjoyed the design process with Catherine and that she communicated a lot and made the ring quickly. Fast forward a year, and we contacted Catherine again to make our wedding rings. While again I wanted something simple, it was fun to watch Catherine sketch out our idea and hear her suggestions. My soon-husband was given a family heirloom which needed some sprucing and sizing, while mine was custom made to fit the contours of my engagement ring. Catherine finished all of this way ahead of schedule, and I can barely recognize my fiancé's ring, which had previously been very tarnished and much too big. Planning a wedding has its challenges, but this aspect was by far one of the most enjoyable and flawless. Catherine is a pleasure to work with, so if you're in the market for any custom jewelry, wedding related or otherwise, I highly recommend her. I do!

This is one of my favorite of Catherine's designs.

Catherine custom-made a dragon necklace for my mother, who has since passed away. It's one of my treasures.

The end result was amazing - but the WORST customer service ever! Many phone calls went unanswered, deadlines passed - so frustrating!

Is it the cheapest place to get your jewelry resized? No. But if you want quality work done right…read morebefore your eyes, this is the place. Lots of places will just resize by hammering out your ring thin, often times ruining your rings settings in the process. Nguyens adds gold and you can tell the care the setter puts in to make sure the integrity of the piece. They also did same day service for me, with the work done right before your eyes. This was very reassuring for me given that I'd have felt uncomfortable leaving my engagement ring at a location I don't have relationship with, then do the dance of having to get reassurance that the diamond was not swapped/etc. All to say, quick and high quality work plus 100% peace of mind given that work can be done right before your eyes

I had high hopes of this place because of their 5 star status. That is the reason I chose this spot…read moreover all.of the other options. I left my bracelet with them for a week. When I came to pick it up on the day promised, for one, it wasn't ready, he had to find it, in the cleaning machine. And second when he put it on my wrist I noticed it was tight and that's when he disclosed that they couldn't repair the broken link, so they had to shorten it. WHAT!? It was the correct fit when I brought it in, what would make anyone think it would fit if they removed a link and made it shorter? He said they couldn't fix it because it was hollow. No call to ask me what I wanted to do, they just went ahead and did this. And also, the link they tried to repair is all messed up now. I was clearly upset, so he said let me call my dad to come fix it now. I was like so can it be fixed or not? Didn't want to wait longer and be more dissapppointed, so I just took my bracelet in worse condition and left. See pics for evidence. He was really nice when I dropped it off making small talk oh where do you work, oh no problem we can fix this blah blah blah. Beware. That's all I'm gonna say.

I had such an amazing experience at Dioro Jewelers working with Corinne. I originally came in…read morelooking for a graduation gift for my daughter, and Corinne was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the entire process. The selection was absolutely beautiful -- honestly, there were so many gorgeous options that it was hard to decide! Corinne helped me choose the most stunning pair of earrings that I know my daughter will cherish and wear for years to come. What really stood out to me was the level of customer service. She set up a private appointment where we met one-on-one in the store, and she gave me her complete undivided attention the entire time. That kind of personalized service is so rare these days. I would highly recommend visiting the store, looking through the incredible jewelry selection, and then scheduling an appointment with Corinne. You truly feel taken care of, and you leave with something special. On top of that, Corinne also serviced my vintage Rolex Datejust that had stopped working. She gave me an amazing price to completely overhaul the watch, and when it came back, I honestly could not believe how beautiful it looked. It looks almost brand new. I don't even think I want to wear my other Rolexes anymore because this one came out so incredible. Thank you, Corinne, for such an outstanding experience. Dioro Jewelers has absolutely earned a lifelong customer.

Corinne walked us through every step, delivered on every promise, and turned it around quickly at a price that felt more than fair. The result? My daughter will walk down the aisle wearing her grandmother's ring. That's not just jewelry restoration -- that's legacy. Dioro is my jeweler for life. Full stop.

Amazing job, excellent service, and affordable prices. I am so satisfied with the work performed by…read morePaul. He was communicative, thorough, and efficient. I had a very valuable pearl necklace from my grandmother that was gifted to my mom, and the pearl strand broke. Paul examined the necklace and quickly assessed that it will need to be restrung and that the clasp is not damaged. After his assessment and me communicating how important it was to get it done the same-day due to another jeweler failing to compete the repair after two months of waiting, he shared that he can do it for us the same day and even waived the same-day fee due to the urgency of our request and the negative experience we had previously. I think his wife was at the cashier and she typed us a receipt. She was super sweet. I also liked that the front door is locked and you have to ring the doorbell to be buzzed in - made me feel safe to be inside. We left the jewelry shop and within an hour, Paul called to tell us it was ready. The pearl necklace looked brand new. Paul did an excellent job! We picked up the necklace, paid for it, and surprised our mom. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and professional work!
