Brought my mom in to get a new watch battery. She used to have go to spot in Lewisville but that has now become too far of a drive. I found this gem on yelp and decided to try it out based on the lovely reviews. We walked in and were instantly greeted by the friendly staff. They took her watch and immediately began working on it. While we waited my mom saw a ring that caught her eye. One of the sweet ladies helped us out and got the ring out for her to gander at then proceeded to give her the info on a business card as well as help her find out what her ring size is. The place had such a pleasant feel and we were informed that this business has been around for 51 years. My mom and myself were very impressed overall. I will be back in the near future. read more

I brought in a bracelet I purchased on vacation because it was too large, and I had a few diamonds removed for resizing. I later decided to use those diamonds to create a custom necklace. Throughout the process, I shared inspiration photos and discussed several design options before deciding on a curved bar pendant with a white gold chain. There was some miscommunication along the way regarding both the pendant style and chain selection, which I understand can happen when most communication is done through text. I even sent additional inspiration photos and screenshots from previous conversations to help clarify the look I was hoping to achieve. Once I received an updated image of the design, I felt much more confident and excited about the final piece. When I picked up the necklace, I did love the curved design itself, but I was disappointed in the diamond setting. The diamonds are much more covered than the stones in my bracelet, which makes them appear less visible and takes away some of the sparkle. Since the necklace was created from the same diamonds as the bracelet, I had hoped the setting would have a more similar look and feel so the pieces would complement each other as a set. (It don't have Cutlet Holes to allow light in at all) Overall, I think the concept and craftsmanship had great potential, and despite the communication challenges, I likely still would have left a stronger review had I been happier with the final setting. Unfortunately, the way the diamonds were set is what ultimately left me disappointed. read more

Very kind professional staff. I brought my watch in because the clasp was loose and kept falling off, it ended up being an easy fix they did quickly and for free! Will be coming back. read more

This is a smaller , less pressure jeweler. They are not one of the big chain ones that seem to all sell similar or the same jewelry. They take the time needed to help you find the ideal ring in my case that suits who you are. I appreciate that. The prices are about the same as anywhere , everyone has a margin they must maintain to pay everyone and all the bills. The prices therefore are fair. It was a pleasant experience and I recommend Then read more

Amazing local jewelry spot! Great service and AMAZING selections. Excited to check out this local gem further

The clasp of my gold chain was no longer working, so I brought it here to have it fixed. They said it was "impossible" to fix, and it needed to be replaced. So over $150 dollars and a few days later, I pick up my chain that was clean, polished, and functional. Except the new clasp is cheaper, smaller, lighter weight, and a slightly different color gold than the original. They kept the old clasp without telling me that they were going to, with their response being "theres nothing you can do with a broken clasp." My chain is fixed, but it's not what i was hoping for. read more

Two years ago I lost a beautiful pearl and chocolate diamond earring with the set my sweet husband bought for me as a wedding gift 14 years ago. So for Christmas last year my husband took the remaining earring to Peoples Jewelry on Elm st here in Denton. My husband worked so hard to get that earring duplicated. He told them to duplicate regardless of cost. When I opened the box and tears streamed down his face. They also streamed down mone for two reasons. One because he cared enough to replace the lost earring and the other to see that they had not duplicated it at all. the pearls were white and my set was champagne. There was a single diamond not the beautiful chocolate diamonds. I have grieved the loss of the earring but felt uncomfortable saying anything to my husband. In the new box of earrings there was not the original earring that they were to duplicate. Now they say they used the one pearl. But they had two white pears but not the champagne colored or choc diamonds. So they have lied and failed to return the original I strongly recommend anyone shopping there proceed with extrecaution.

Service was fast and friendly. She switched out the batteries in my watch in 10min on the spot! I also had my broken necklace chain fixed and she said that would take a week but the price was very good. I love the location because it's right next to West Oak, my favorite local coffee place so it's very convenient to stop by. Looking forward to getting my necklace chain back! read more

First People's Jewelers - Diamond necklace from First People's Jewelers - Jewelry Near Me - Denton, Texas

I grew up in Denton and my family always went to First People's for our jewelry repairs... but those were always small things like removing or adding watch links, replacing watch batteries, or basic cleanings. I'm not much of a jewelry person and could count the diamonds I own on one hand, so I really have had no need to go back since childhood. I inherited a unique diamond ring from my great grandma (circa 1910 or so) that I've always hoped would be an engagement ring someday. The metal is platinum and the thin band my from when GG had the stone set was bent and misshaped by the time I got it. I also prefer thicker bands on rings, so replacing and widening the band was a requirement for whoever was proposing to me. :) Not so free after all! My fiance' took the ring to multiple big name jewelers to get quote to replace the band, but they refused to do the work because of the age and nostalgic value of the ring. He finally ended up at First People's and was quoted about $150-200 more than the other quotes he had received. When he mentioned this, the salesperson at First People's got approval to drop the price to match right then and there. They did a great job on keeping the original setting and widening the band and had it ready for pick-up less than a week later. I don't wear any other rings to compare, so my fiance' just guessed on my ring size, but ended up being a size and a half off. I had to wear a ring spacer after our engagement just to keep the ring on my finger. First People's downsized the ring to the right size at no cost- even though they didn't sell us the ring! The woman (Kelsey?) we spoke to was really helpful with advise on getting the correct size... I wanted to play it safe and only go down a size just in case my fingers would swell in summer, but she convinced me to go with the right size and I'm so grateful! My finger adjusted to the new ring and this ended up the absolute perfect fit. ANOTHER way they've gone over and above- when I took my ring in for the band resizing I was in a rush when leaving. I quickly looked at the ring when they brought it out and stuck it back on my finger without a second thought. As I was driving back to work I noticed a dark spot in one of the surrounding settings. Turns out one of the tiny diamonds was missing. I freaked out, just about got in a car wreck turning around, and ran right back to the Jewelers. I was on hands and knees in the parking lot checking my floor boards, but found nothing. By the time I made it back in the store I was almost in tears. When I spoke with the saleslady she said they would replace the stone at no cost (wow!) but that it might take a week or so because they were pretty backed up. Kelsey overheard and stepped in and had it done within 20 mins! read more

Great long time Denton jewelers. My friend will not go anywhere else and recommend them. I was hesitant to hand over my diamond engagement ring for sizing and cleaning.

Took a ring in for repair. Had lost a small stone that had fallen out of a ring. The ring is not of much value but means a lot to me. The sales lady made me feel good about it. They did a wonderful job. I am so pleased. I highly recommend them for jewelry repair. The store merchandise is awesome and well worth a visit if you are shopping for nice jewelry. read more

Really awesome everything at First People's! I bought an engagement ring and wedding band from them, and they've helped with everything from faxing insurance companies to adjusting little nitpicks I had. They really helped me understand every part of my purchase and answered my beyond dumb questions about if guys wear engagement rings and if I should get down on one knee or not. I think I'll use them for the rest of my life. read more

My wife brought in her wedding ring for repair ... she had lost one of the stones. Well, after a week, First People's Jewelers was appalled to report to us that the ring had been stolen from them ... they actually had a video of the guy reaching across the counter to grab the ring and walk off with it. Of course they never found him. So they expressed their sincere apologies and created a new ring for her from scratch! We had a (sort of blurry) photo of the original ring, and their re-creation might actually be a bit nicer than the original. They probably got some insurance money to help cover it, but I'll still bet they took a loss on the deal. We have nothing but good things to say about First People's Jewelers. I recently brought my gold wedding band in for resizing after a minor baseball injury made my ring finger knuckle too big for the ring any more. Their price to adjust it was reasonable, and the time to do it was brief. And my wife had a broken necklace they just repaired for free while we were about it. Nice people. read more

This place knows how to take care of their customers. I have had a pair of pearl earrings repaired, my wedding ring re-pronged and helped me pick out a nice gold ring to celebrate my graduation. It was always so pleasant to stop in and get my ring cleaned-for free-and chat with the staff. One time, they even replaced a new battery in my watch at no charge either! This place doesn't nickel and dime you and really cares about their people. At First People's Jewelers-the people truly are First! Thank you for all you do! :) read more

Love love love First People's Jewelers and everyone on their staff. They have never been anything but engaging and helpful with any need/want I've entered their store with. We've bought a few pieces from them directly and had some jewelry repaired. They even helped my youngest son order a locket for his girlfriend for Christmas one year and were very patient and helpful with him and the fact that he had a limited budget in which to spend. They didn't care how much he was spending, they offered him the same 5 star service they would offer someone spending thousands on a diamond ring. They are currently crafting a customized ring from a picture I found of a ring I liked for my 15th wedding anniversary. I'm so very excited and they are excited with me. I will use First People's for any jewelry need I have. They are the awesomesauce. read more

I'm not into jewelry and don't wear any other than my wedding ring. That being said, I stopped in to have a watch battery replaced. They did get the job done, but it took 30min and I had to listen to the two women complain about it the whole time. 3 stars for that reason. read more

I recieved a watch for Christmas but unfortunately it didn't fit my wrist. I browsed Yelp to find a place to go to. There were a couple places that you could request a quote. I requested quotes from both Nasr Brothers and First People's Jewelers. I ended up going to First People's because they were closer and they said they would not charge. Nasr Brothers charged $10. They adjusted the watch right away only taking a couple mins. I was a little confused though. I was quoted no charge but the lady who helped me said that sometimes they charge $5. Idk what the conditions on that are. All in all, good experience. I surely will be back. read more

I cannot express how disappointed I am with First People's Jewelers. I brought my engagement ring in on a Saturday to get resized. My fiance had put an inscription inside the ring which was quite sentimental. The employees of First People's Jewelers assured me numerous times that the inscription would not be harmed, seeing as there was plenty of room on the side of the ring to cut it and size it down. They said it would be finished by the end of the week. They never called me, so I ended up calling them the following Friday to check on the status of my ring. They told me it would be finished by 3:00 that day, and I had my parents go pick it up for me. When my parents went in to First People's Jewelers, they gave an employee the pickup receipt and the employee went in the back to go look for my ring. At first, she couldn't even find it. Then she asked if my parents were sure it was an engagement ring, and not a wedding ring. I'm pretty sure my parents knew it was an engagement ring, since I'm not even married yet! When the employee finally found my ring, my mom asked her if the inscription was alright. The employee said there was no inscription, and had the audacity to question my mom whether there had even been an inscription in the first place! When I saw my ring later that day, I was pretty disappointed. The inscription was completely removed, and not only had I not agreed to this, but they didn't even contact me to let me know of their mistake. Furthermore, the re-sizing was poorly done. The section of the band that was altered is now wavy. When I lay my ring on a flat surface with the diamond hanging off the side, I would expect the entire band to lay flat, but it doesn't anymore. It just looks sloppy. For people that "pride" themselves on 40+ years of experience, I would have expected more careful and accurate workmanship. In summary, please please PLEASE take your business elsewhere. The customer service is awful and so is their workmanship. read more

A gem! We found so many lovely pieces here in this gorgeous and historic store - and they had lots of gift items that weren't a high price point. Staff was friendly and even offered to clean our rings for us...apparently mine REALLY needed it. Each of the 3 of us saw several unique pieces that we loved, and I especially liked the artisan Sterling jewelry and the hand crafted knives. I felt comfortable leaving one of my Navajo turquoise rings to be repaired as well. Highly recommend! read more

Had this place size my antique engagement ring and they did a four-star job, but the service is more like two-star, and I will tell you why. First, the guy I dealt with was just kind of unfriendly. Not rude, but just not eager to ravish me with his customer service skills. He looked at the ring, sized my finger, and told me it'd be about a week. Then, he told me it was going to be $68. Now I have never had a platinum ring resized before, but that seems steep to me. I had estimated $40. I chalked it up to the ring being platinum though, and still am, mostly so that I can sleep at night without agonizing over whether First People's Jewelers ripped me off. Lastly, the aforementioned indifferent salesman forgot to take down my phone number, so they had no way of calling me to let me know it was ready to pick up. Luckily, I was overeager to get it back so I called them after 6 days. read more

My late husband and I have done business with First People's for probably the last 35 - 40 years. My husband had had a couple of rings made by them. They do incredible work. I would not go to any other jeweler. I went in to their store today to get a necklace repaired that I didn't buy there. Tricia greeted me with a big smile when I came in. I told her the problem I had with the necklace and asked if she could fix it. I was only there probably seven or eight minutes. When she brought it out fixed I went to pay her and she would not charge me. Denton is lucky to have the store and their staff! THEY ARE THE BEST!!!! read more

We've had my engagement ring custom made from First People's and we worked with Kelsi.

It took a while for the ring to be ready, but it was worth the wait for the beautiful workmanship. read more
