Had some dental gold I wanted to sell. I got a quote of around $50 from an internet place but then remembered Goddard and how nicely he fixed a gold chain I had. I assumed I'd get a bit less money but wanted to support local businesses. So I was surprised and very happy when I got $65 for the gold. After this he did a job for me of modifying a gold chain to have inline stars of david. The work was perfect and the price was unbeatable. Note that in the picture the only Goddard work is the gold chain mod, the actual stars and cross are not gold and not an example of the exquisite custom work he does for people who have a lot more money than I do :-) read more

Goddard Richard Goldsmith - Jewelry Near Me - Maynard, Massachusetts

Adam and Richard were astonishingly kind and patient working with me. I had a specific budget and they went out of their way to work with me and create a memorable experience. They are the real deal and worth a visit. I will definitely return. read more

We have used Richard's artistry now Adams for 45 years. We give them an idea what we want and allow creativity to flourish. Always thrilled with the results. read more

Work done on time and was done as expected. Adam was easy to work with. A bit pricier than I had anticipated,

Brought in a pin to be made into a necklace and the results were not what I expected. I accept all blame because I did not make sure that what I believed to be the agreed upon path forward with the piece was mutually understood agreed to and captured in writing. Caveat emptor here to make sure there is mutual, written agreement about the exact work to be completed. The unfortunate part was that when I did question what was done, and what I believe was previously agreed to, and did so in a very calm and professional way, I was treated with disrespect and consternation by the son. Without even talking about my concerns, he rudely said that he would just remove the work they did and that I that could take the piece and leave. After questioning his approach, he did clarify that he was having a bad day and had many complaining customers that had come in before me. That statement alone should have been a warning sign. The son never apologized for his behavior, but the dad did take the piece and at least made some cosmetic updates to it while I was there. Would I go back, probably not. To reiterate - make sure everything you want done is clearly agreed to and in writing when dealing with this father and son team. read more

Richard really knows his craft, and is very helpful if you need direction. He helped me pick out a great diamond, and we pieced together an engagement ring band and setting that worked best in combination. He always explains the why, which I like. Guy knows his stuff, and his prices are very reasonable. read more

I used them twice a few years back and they were super helpful and did lovely work at a fair price... I am going back again to get a ring re- made. Very trustworthy and honest! read more

I've had a couple of watch batteries changed out here and he does a good quick job and a nice price = $10. The jewelry selection isn't large but it is varied. A good amount of vintage and unique pieces across the board. read more

I went to Goddard's on a recommendation of a client/friend. I dropped off a few pieces of jewelry for repair. The owner (and son?) were so incredibly engaging and pleasant. I'm sure their repair work will be amazing. The pieces of jewelry in the shop are gorgeous. Just repairs this time but I will be looking at their jewelry in the future. read more

What can I say? My husband and I are both very satisfied. Actually, beyond satisfied. We are so happy about meeting Adam and Mr. Goddard Richard (I think it was him). Both gentlemen were nice and were specialists in the jewelry world. Adam was very nice and explained how they could fix my broken diamond necklace step-by-step. I brought in several pieces that I've been dying to get fixed, and they got it done in no time. Also, he presented my beautiful heart diamond necklace in a beautiful box so I was over the moon when I saw it. I will be sticking with Goddard Richard Goldsmith for years to come. I am very impressed by their price, and more importantly their amazing customer service and knowledge in fixing my valuable trinkets. read more

I absolutely agree - Mr. and Mrs. Goddard are professional, charge a fair price, and handled my precious 100 year old ring with respect. A real find! read more

I found this place on yelp and went there to re-size my engagement ring. I am very happy that I made the right choice. My ring was a 7 and I was planning to downsize to 5. But Mr. Goddard persuaded me to make it 4.5. At first I doubted it might be too small, but turned out his suggestion was absolutely right. He did not just simply cut and fuse the ring at the center, in stead he worked on the flank of the ring and made it very comfortable to wear. I will definitely recommend him. read more

Richard is the Man... He will take care of all of your jewelry needs... he will custom make anything and his prices are amazing consider his product is such high quality. He is a straight shooter and I will never go anywhere else for jewelry. He's the best. read more

After having my first child, my fingers had swollen to the size of sausages, and for some reason I tried to put my rings back on before their size was normal again. Well, I had to get them cut off and was very sad, but my mood got better when Richard promised he would make them better than ever. And he did! He was quick and I feel the price I paid was reasonable. He also sodered my rings together and increased the width of my engagement ring to match my wedding band. Great work, speedy, and worth the price! read more

We just had our rings resized here. Mr. Goddard is a local businessman, and we support local businesses. He did a great job with our precious rings. read more

Honest pricing, he called me before completing work on a platinum ring because on closer inspection he noticed that the way the band was constructed would make the job more complex and raise the price of sizing it. I appreciate the information before the work was done. As for the quality of his workmanship, I'm very pleased. I am planning on taking in a few more items which need some work, and also will have him design and create a diamond pendant. Not a large shop so his selection of pre-made items is small, but the pieces are well-made and beautiful. If you have been looking for a jeweler that you can trust, come here, this is the place! read more

Richard was recommended to my wife by our Texas next door neighbor. She sent him an idea of a train locomotive she wanted carved to wear as a necklace. The quality and detail is amazing. After she got this work of art, she told him she wanted a caboose as its the tail end of a train and everyone should be able to make an ass of them selves. His work is so creative and he is super reliable. We have jewelers in Texas, but his work is so masterful. I have even ordered something for her to celebrate our 56 years together. read more

After my wife and I were told by another jewelry store that the setting on a ring we brought in was beyond repair, we came here.

The ring came out looking great. Super friendly family that is knowledgable and goes the extra mile. Would recommend to anyone. read more

I used to work in Maynard, and not only used Richard Goddard for jewelry repair and ring re-sizing, but I also had him redesign a Victorian piece to something I wear more often. And lucky me, my husband twice commissioned him to make rings for me from some of the wonderful stones he finds. Warning, if you like to talk about boats and fishing, it may take abit longer to leave his great shop! He's easy to get to, and there's always street parking in front or nearby, so we continue to use Goddard, even though we live in Cambridge. read more

I am just delighted with the two rings that I just picked up at Richard Goddard, Goldsmith, Design . One ring needed repair - it was an old turquoise silver ring that is at least 50 years old. The band snap, and the bezel around the stone had come loose - I was unable to wear it. During the past 20 years I have asked numerous jewelers if it could be repaired - shops in Boston, Marblehead, and Concord. Every single one said 'no, impossible'. Richard did not hesitate, I am pretty sure it was one of those pain in the neck jobs for a jeweler to undertake, but Richard did not hesitate to take it on. The second ring needed a redesign. I explained what I wanted , and Richard did the work exactly as I had hoped. Richard and his son, Adam, are master jewelers , the quality of their work and their custom designs are of the same caliber found in a very high end spot on Newbury St or 5th Ave. as others have stated, the shop is very easy to find, right on Main St, Maynard - easy parking. thank you Richard Goddard ! read more
