Love this jewelry store! The staff are so very friendly and professional! I've only been in (so…read morefar) for watch batteries, one jewelry repair and a ring sizing, but every time I go I get treated like royalty. Today I picked up a set of three stacking rings which I had ordered from Etsy and they arrived way too large. What was supposed to be a 7 arrived in a size 8-1/2! The sizing job by the Cowardin team was flawless and the rings not only fit perfectly now but they actually look better! I've looked around a lot and I've noticed their gorgeous selections. The estate jewelry is stunning! Everything they sell is CLASS. Nothing too trendy; styles that will endure any fad or fashion changes!

They have exquisite estate pieces and beautiful engagement rings. My son and I shopped there when he was looking for a ring for his fiancé. Just stunning. They also have handsome men's jewelry and watches. I've also gotten my jewelry cleaned there and I'm headed over next week for a ring appraisal. For all your fine jewelry needs, like the slogan says, "It means more, when it comes from Cowardin's." I can still hear that jingle from the radio ads!

Whole different vibe. In the best way. Now it's run by a pair of brothers, their family, a standout gal, and yes, the shop dog deserves their own five stars. The whole place feels like home with sparkle. They don't just fix jewelry, they reimagine it. I've seen them take tired pieces and turn them into something better than the original. Their custom work is next level, and they somehow always match your vision, even when you're not sure what that is. Do you like estate jewelry, modern, classic, curse words? They'll get you sorted. Bring your gold, your diamonds, your heirloom chaos. They'll breathe new life into it. I brought my girlfriend here and they were so kind (as always) that she was genuinely blown away. This is who they are. Kind, skilled, and quietly brilliant.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Mark and Petersburg Jeweler. If I could give more…read morethan five stars, I absolutely would. My wife and I visited Petersburg Jeweler this past Saturday, and she brought several pieces of jewelry that Mark will be taking apart and completely redesigning into new pieces. After seeing what he can do and talking with him about his work, it quickly became apparent that this isn't simply a jewelry store -- Mark is an incredibly talented craftsman and designer who truly knows his trade. While we were there, Mark cleaned my wedding rings as well as another diamond ring for me while we waited. I have had jewelry professionally cleaned before, but nothing even comes close to the job Mark did. When he handed my rings back to me, I was genuinely blown away. They didn't just look clean -- they looked better than new. The diamonds absolutely sparkle, and even the metal itself looks incredible. I honestly had forgotten just how beautiful these rings could look. I also left him a Tiffany chain that my wife and I had originally given to my mother. It has tremendous sentimental value to me, and I wanted Mark to lengthen it so that I could wear it myself from time to time. I also left another chain with him to clean. Once again, the quality of his work was outstanding. What impressed us just as much as the craftsmanship was how Mark treated us. He took his time, answered our questions, explained things, and never once made us feel rushed. There was no pressure and no feeling that he was trying to hurry us along to get to the next customer. The entire experience was personal, professional, and first-class from beginning to end. Knowing that Mark has the background and experience of having worked as a lead jewelry designer before opening his own business makes perfect sense once you see his work. This is someone who clearly takes tremendous pride in his craft. There are plenty of places where you can buy jewelry. Petersburg Jeweler is where I would go when the jewelry actually matters. Whether it is a valuable piece, something sentimental, a repair, a redesign, or simply making a treasured piece look spectacular again, Mark has earned our trust. We walked in as first-time customers and walked out knowing we had found our jeweler. Absolutely exceptional experience. Five stars without hesitation. Highly, highly recommended.

I visited the store with my son to see if I could sell a ring and a gold necklace. The gentleman, (who seemed like the owner), was so knowledgeable and courteous. He talked with my son and I like we had known him for years. He explained the reasoning behind the offer he gave me, specifically why gold prices have increased and the ins and outs on resale value for gemstones and other items. Lastly, he gave us, what I thought, was an exceptional value for my jewelry and so fast! I will definitely be a returning customer and, hopefully, next time to buy, as he had a wonderful selection of rings, watches, and even beautiful antique clocks. A++ and 5 stars!!!
