After an accident where I crushed my hand, my engagement and wedding rings were damaged and needed to be cut off, I turned to Urbanowicz Jewelers for help in restoring them. Please don't make the same mistake I did! My wedding band had very little damage other than the shank being split where it was cut off of my finger, so no surprise when it was done first. I had to sign some papers and pay my deductible for them to proceed with my engagement ring, and while I was there, they returned my band. In the mix of signing things I didn't pay much attention to my band. When I got home I could barely get it off of my finger. Upon further inspection it was no where near round, and lying flat on the table it wasn't straight. I brought it back to the store and was given several excuses why it was returned in the condition it was, first they said that to straighten it they would run the risk of the diamonds coming loose, then they said to properly repair it they'd need to replace the shank. . these were both explained as possibilities when they did the intake and I said that was fine, just do what it takes (I was paying cash for the band repair and using my insurance for the engagement ring). We then realized that somehow "joining the shank back together" took the ring from a 6.5 to not even a 6.... I was incredibly uneasy at this point and was questioning if I wanted them to continue work on my engagement ring that had a good deal more damage to it than the band. After some coaxing from John and Vanessa (who were both very kind through the entire ordeal), I left the band there for them to take another crack at. I put a call in to my insurance adjuster, only to find out the paper Urbanowicz Jewelers had me sign before work started was for them to be paid. So there wasn't much I could do at this point other than let them complete what they started. My adjuster said that she authorized them to do a full remake but they felt confident that they really only needed to replace a few stones, replace the head, solder the VERY thin shank and reapply the milgrain. Urbanowicz Jewelers called me about a week later to let me know my ring was ready. I went in and gave them a once over and apologized for being emotional over the band and thanked Vanessa for being so kind. As soon as I got in the car I wanted to snap a picture in the natural light to send my hubby, but in the photo the ring looked super wonky. I was thinking maybe my band wasn't lying flush anymore because the new stone faces up a tiny bit larger. When I got home I put them on a flat surface and realize that the head holding the center diamond is cockeyed, the prongs look terrible and are not evenly holding the stone, and the band is totally crooked and twisted on both sides of the center diamond. I sent my adjuster photos asking if this was the best I could hope for and she and her manager were SHOCKED at the poor quality of the work. Their entire team all agreed, without question, that it was no longer the same quality as before the incident. They did not fix the milgrain anywhere on the ring and where they reset the smaller princess cut diamonds what milgrain was there, they crushed when they sloppily folded the channel setting over the stones. My insurance company asked me to go in and ask them to give it another look. Which I did, this is when Joe stepped in and said it looked great, he then commented on my wedding band all but accusing me of lying about the size it was and suggesting that when it was cut off perhaps some of the gold "fell off".... I suggested once more that perhaps they could take a closer look at my engagement ring because my insurance company agreed with me that the quality was not what was expected given the fact that they had authorized a full remake. I was then going to go on to say "I'm not a jeweler, but I respect my insurance companies opinion" however he cut me off at "I'm not a jeweler" to say "no? apparently you're an expert". At this point I happily left the store knowing that his disgusting attitude and ego would mean my insurance company would allow me to take my rings somewhere with a competent goldsmith.

I requested to work with Noel again because she is so friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I initially was thinking I would get a bigger watch and once she showed me the art deco diamond Penny Preville pieces, I knew that's what I was going to buy! She has multiple pieces that you could make into a set or buy individually. I chose the larger ring and medium necklace from her 50th year of designing collection. I LOVE them! I really enjoyed both of my luxury shopping experiences at Orr's Jewelers in the Strip District. Thanks Noel for selecting pieces that you knew I would love!

I visited Orr's Jewelry in the Strip District on July 29 to order a 5mm 18K yellow gold sculpted…read morecable ring by David Yurman for my October wedding. I'd been looking for awhile and really loved this ring. I was excited to see they had it on display for me to try on. The display model was a size 10 and fit too tight, so I asked if they could order a 10.5. The salesperson said yes, disappeared upstairs for a while, and came back confirming it would take about a week. While he was writing up the invoice, he dropped the display ring on the floor while bagging it, and as he picked it up he said, "don't worry, this isn't your ring" and promptly put the ring into a clear ziplock bag with some paperwork. I incorrectly assumed this was for verification purposes once my ring had been delivered. On August 3 I got a call that the ring was ready. I picked it up on August 6. The ring was handed to me in the same ziplock bag with the same paperwork from the ring he'd dropped on July 29. While I was there, another employee asked if this was a "repair," which struck me as an odd thing to ask about a brand new ring ordered directly from the manufacturer. There was also no certificate of authenticity included, even though my fiance's previous David Yurman purchases came with one. I didn't think much of it at the time, but looking back, both of those things should have been red flags. Once I got home and looked at the ring closely, I found nicks, dings, and a rough spot I could feel when I ran my finger across it. Not what you expect from something brand new. I called the store about 40 minutes after leaving. I was told this shouldn't happen on a ring that hadn't even been worn yet, and to bring it back in. I was assured I wouldn't be stuck with it. The next morning I went back, hoping this was some kind of mix-up and that maybe I'd been handed the wrong ring by mistake. The employee I spoke with inspected it under a loupe and offered to open a repair claim. Before agreeing to that, I brought up what I'd noticed: the dropped display ring, the same bag and paperwork reused at pickup, and the word "repair" listed on my original invoice for what was supposed to be a new purchase. He went to check with the original salesperson and came back to tell me that the display ring had actually been resized for me, because ordering my correct size would have taken 20 weeks. A few things worth noting... 1) This was meant to be my wedding band and I was very upfront with that with my salesperson. 2) I was under the impression this was being order brand new in the correct size 3) David Yurman's own policy states this style cannot be resized, yet Orr's resized it anyway. At that point I asked for a full refund and returned the ring. I told him that if something is going to take 20 weeks, customers should be informed and allowed to make that decision themselves, rather than being quietly handed the display model and led to believe it's new. By not informing me of the alleged 20 weeks, the impression I was left with is that this organization prioritizes moving stocked inventory over giving customers what they actually asked for. He got defensive, insisted that's not how Orr's operates, and framed the refund as him doing me a favor, for returning a ring that was originally a half size too small, had been dropped and damaged by their own employee, then resized without repairing that damage, and presented to me as new. He did process the refund, however, the details regarding the "repair" were removed from the receipt he gave me for the refund. When I discovered the damage yesterday, I incorrectly was giving Orr's the benefit of the doubt. Today, after being told it would take 20 weeks to arrive, I ordered the ring from the manufacturer directly and discovered it will arrive much sooner than 20 weeks. It will be here tomorrow. I'll never shop at Orr's again. It's hard to trust an organization who feels comfortable enough to sell a groom a damaged & used wedding band while presenting it as brand new.

We were told the repair would be around $630, as it needed a half shank. We tried to ask about other options, even a new setting. Just to see what was available. They would not even show us any settings, saying it would be around $2k. They suggested coming back in 3 weeks because of the pinched skin. They said my ring size would be different than it has been for 38 years, even though my ring still fit perfectly. Apparently they assumed we were bums and had no money. We were literally given the brush off! My husband recently purchased a pair of earrings for me there and has made several purchases over the years. We went to another local jeweler, we were greeted with a smile, they gave us all our options, showed us new settings. Examined the broken ring closely and said it not only needed a shank but the prongs were worn. We got a quote of almost half of your quote, to do a more extensive repair. We will no longer ever purchase from James Douglas Jewelers again.
