Would not recommend them with high carat gold. Wanted to turn my 24k gold into other jewelry and…read morethey did a scratch test to test the gold. They stated it was 22k. As a jeweler, they should know scratch tests are not meant for higher carat gold but a xrf or pmi gun. Took it to a pawn shop for testing and even the jewel recycle and they both confirmed it was 24k. Them being jewelers, they should know this and not try to scam customers. Their work is amazing from what I have seen but I can not trust them. Beware.

From the moment I met one of the owners, this gem of a store got my attention. Before setting foot into the shop, I was impressed by their proactive, organic social media campaigns. The visit to Jewel Smith of Durham blew our minds. The attention to in-store customer service was most refreshing and sadly unique. They know how to make the jewelry purchase experience fun and memorable. Each piece is created by talented architects with impressive tools and timeless machinery. There are exquisite pieces that are one of a kind with gems carefully purchased from every part of our planet. I realized after my first visit to the local mall here how I'd never again attempt a purchase at a chain jeweler. It's not too late for Christmas with their fully staffed extended Holiday hours and a dedicated parking lot. And then there's always Valentines Day.

An Nguyen was very patient in discussing what I could expect from the repair. I appreciated his honesty and willingness to attempt the repair anyways. Additionally, I have two friends who have had engagement rings designed by An. He really takes time w each client to get to know their style and what is going to make them happy for years to come. Both of those lucky girls ended up w amazing, one of a kind diamond settings that perfectly matched them. Supporting local artists and having a piece of jewelry that you will love for a lifetime, doesn't get much better than that!

The sales people at Hamilton Hill were very warm and friendly. The goldsmith who was going to do the actual repair met with me, explained what he would be able to do and gave me a choice with the estimated cost. It was by far less expensive than the estimate I received from the competitor. I am very, very happy with the result and so glad I chose Hamilton Hill.
