I first visited DeVons with a friend who wanted to get his Rolex watch serviced and the crystal polished. My friend received his watch back several weeks later looking brand new and the salesperson, Darrin Cody (also the assistant manager) could not have been more helpful and kind. On that trip I noticed a pair of opal earrings set in gold with small diamonds. I have been looking for gold earrings for awhile and I had never purchased expensive jewelry before. I thought about the earrings all summer and when I returned to DeVons in September, I decided to buy the earrings and the pendant that matched. Darrin again was our salesperson and he discounted the earrings and pendant, gave us jewelry cleaner, boxes and cases. I loved the earrings and pendant and Darrin told me to wear them and enjoy them, which I did. A short time later, the chain for the pendant broke and I thought I lost the pendant, however, my friend found the pendant, but the chain was lost. I called Darrin and he said to come to the store and although he would be on vacation, he would leave a chain for me. He left two so I could choose which one I preferred. The next week, the clasp on the earrings broke, and when I called again, I was told to bring them in. The jeweler was there and he fixed the earrings. I was thrilled because I live in South Lake Tahoe and it would have been a week or two if they sent the earrings in for repair and it's not the shortest trip to Reno. Then last week I noticed one of the opals in in the earrings had a crack. I called Darrin today and he said just to come in and he would take care of me. I went to DeVons and he told me he already ordered a new pendant that was on it's way. When I explained it was the earrings, he said they had another pair of earrings and I could exchange the ones I had for those. He told the woman helping me to just write that the earrings were defective. I cannot be more satisfied with this store, which is employee owned and definitely goes above and beyond to guarantee customer satisfaction. Prices are reasonable for a high end jewelry store, the employees are very helpful, and the service is extraordinary. I cannot praise DeVons Jewelers in Summit Sierra more highly. read more
