We have always trusted Todd with our jewelry business. We have also referred many friends and family to them as well. All had a positive experience and ended up purchasing their engagement rings from Gold'n Treasures. Even with Todd gone, we will continue to who do our business there. Because all the staff have become like family to us. read more

This review contains two stories: One of them is about jewelry, and the other is about *my* jewelry. Shall we start with my jewelry? Yes, let's do that. My engagement ring has been perched on my hand ~24/7 for the last ~3 years, and OH MY GOD I LOVE IT. I just bloody well love it. This ring is the best insurance my partner ever bought -- even when I am ready to run (not walk!) back to singledom, I think, "But I can't get divorced; I have this absolutely perfect ring pair." (I mean, I'm sure people still wear their wedding+engagement rings after getting unmarried, but it seems like maybe that would be weird?) Todd has a whole process for helping people find an engagement ring, and it's... very chill. Very, very chill. This is not -- not upon NOT -- the kind of thing where you walk into a mall & some person with a Muppet-level fake smile says a bunch of clichéd BS while trying to upsell you some overpriced piece that they swear you can afford on their secretly 30% APR credit card. Nope. Gold'n Treasures is run on *relationships.* This is the most delightful & delightfully human jewelry-buying experience you will ever have. This is like... you walk in. Todd, who clearly loves people (but in a laid-back way that's still comfortable for introverts -- will vouch!), says hello, offers you your choice of beverage, and welcomes you to his back room studio, where he has not one, but several, towers of trays of example rings. And whooo-boy, he's got EVERYTHING. You want classic? Got it. Modern? Got it. Looks like an antique? Yup. Looks like a Calder sculpture? Uh-huh. Simple? Absolutely. Batshit crazy giant grandma rings that take up half your finger? In spades! You weren't looking for diamonds? He's got a whole array of Sharpies for you to recolor the example rings to your liking. And Todd is *not* in a hurry. "Play!" he says. "Have fun!" he encourages. Oh, you brought your toddler with you? She gets a beverage & is also welcome to play with the example rings. This place is magic. I spent a semi-forever going through example rings, & had selected about a dozen candidates... and Todd sent me home with homework! He gave me a URL & said, look through these, let me know what jumps out at you. I clicked & clicked & clicked, & emailed Todd with at least a half-dozen additional candidates. He said he'd order those models, and we set another appointment time. But here's the best & most amazing part: This whole time, I was more-or-less looking for a ring that I liked well enough that my partner also liked. We have *radically* different tastes, and I have a long history of pathological people-pleasing; I guess, on some unconscious level, I felt like the tastes & opinions of the person purchasing the ring were more important than the tastes & opinions of the person who was actually going to wear the ring. I liked something about each of the rings I'd identified for Todd, and also they were all compromise designs. Somehow -- and reader, truly I have no idea how, other than perhaps by being a second- or third-generation jeweler -- Todd sorted through a pile of gold, diamonds, & red herrings to find EXACTLY the right-for-me ring. We're sitting in that bright, sunny showroom, drinking coffee & champagne (respectively), and what we think we're doing is coming to see 18-someodd model rings & color them all in and deliberate all day. Todd says casually, "Oh hey, we just got some new rings in -- I want to show you something." And he comes back with The Ring. It's so absolutely perfect that I don't even bother to contain my enthusiasm. Todd hands me the Sharpies. I doctor up the model. Having now seen this thing, I am done with compromising. And just like that, Todd gets on his computer & finds the right kind of stone in the right color in the right size for my setting, and somehow manages to bring it all in under the $number my partner had quoted for a budget. (And then we bought some wedding bands.) This, finally, is Story #2. There are two ways to run a jewelry business: one is where you take every customer for as much as you can get (because you've got high overhead & you know like 1/3 of them are going to default on those credit cards), and the other is the relationship model -- where you get to know people, and where they keep coming back to you (and bringing their friends & family) because you're just that awesome. Case in point: My family's been buying jewelry from Todd for 35 years, & I didn't live anywhere near the Twin Cities when all of this was happening. There's still nowhere else I would have gone to look for a ring, & nowhere else I would have found *this* ring. And yes, I'll be back. :) read more

After 30 years of marriage we decided to reset my diamond solitaire and dress it up a little. A little??? Attached is a photo of my Todd Gimble original. Sapphire is my birthstone which contrasts perfectly with the diamond. Todd worked hard to make sure the sapphires were identical and precisely the right shade of blue. Hardly a week goes by without someone commenting on my gorgeous ring - even after all these years. Gold'n Treasures is a treasure on Grand Avenue with a warm friendly atmosphere, no pressure sales, and outstanding people. I'd give them more stars if I could! read more

Very pleased with Gold'n Treasures. I had several pieces of fine jewelry that needed cleaning & repair. I also needed a new gold box chain. Everything was cleaned for free. The repairs were so minimal there was no charge for that either. The chain was a custom order because of the length I needed. It arrived 4 days sooner than they promised. They are our new family jeweler. read more

Wow what a great experience. I inherited a very large jewelry box form my Mother. Most of it was very inexpensive costume, but there were a allot things I did not know about. I brought in the first bag. Monica met me at the door and after just a few words form me she had me sitting down with a cup of coffee. She carefully went through each piece, giving me an honest assessments of each of them. She even went as far as to send me to another store for some watches. They don't sell watched but could have done them for much more then the other place. I left my pearls to be restrung. the price was less than half what some places charge. I have found my new Jewelers. read more

I plan to redesign my grandma's wedding ring so it becomes my wedding ring, but I was so nervous to entrust a very important piece of jewelry to anyone. I walked in and met with Kathleen - she instantly made me at ease with the process. She pinpointed my style almost instantly and came up with multiple ideas for me to do with my grandma's ring. I still have a while until our wedding, but I know when I come back in to redesign my grandma's ring, it'll be in great hands. I absolutely recommend this place for your jewelry needs...especially with precious family heirlooms! read more

Hands down the best jewelry store in the cities. The owner Todd is amazing, he is friendly and super informative. He can walk you through the difficult venture of engagement ring buying. I truly appreciated how he explained everything there is to know about making an informed decision and seriously told us to shop around and make sure we were comfortable with our experience there. No one could compare. The selection isn't giant, but if you have a ring in mind and can not find it there, they can make a custom ring for you. He doesn't push you, he will show you how to maximize your budget and get the most out of your dollar. I honestly can not say enough good things about Todd, his staff or his store. We walked away with a beautiful ring and a new jeweler that we will go to for all of our jewelry needs and questions. Thank you Gold and Treasures! read more

Best jeweler in the cities. Best knowledge, service, prices and selection Light years better than my experience at RF Moeller on Ford Parkway. Check these folks out. You will be a lifetime fan. :) read more

gold n'treasures is my favorite jewelry store with the best employees in the jewelry industry. I had a family ring repaired in March. The repair was extensive and they did a fabulous job. I also brought in my wedding ring ... For ideas on what to do with it after my divorce. The very kind manager/owner informed me on what I could do and gave me the tools to make the right decision when I am ready. I now am excited on what will happen with my ring. The selection of jewelry is not huge, but the quality is beautiful. If your looking for a ring or new piece to add to your collection, stop by this store on grand ave. read more

I live near this store and walk by it often. Every time I stop in to window shop all the lovely pieces I have been treated with warmth and kindness, even when I made it very clear that I was only looking and not planning to buy. The staff gleefully pulls out all their sparkling rings and say "play! Have fun! Enjoy!". For a jewelry lover like myself this is quite fun. It is because of this spectacular treatment that I recently brought a friend in who was looking to purchase an engagement ring for his girlfriend. Monica helped us every step of the way and was incredibly knowledgeable and just plain fun to work with. My friend liked them so much that he is having a ring designed for his girlfriend. If you are looking for beautiful jewelry, knowledgable and friendly staff, and a truly positive experience buying a piece of jewelry, then go to Gold'n Treasures. You will not be disappointed. read more

I love this place. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. No pushy salespeople. Todd, the owner, is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Awesome selection, way more than what's displayed in the cases. I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Gold'n Treasures - Jewelry Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

When I sat down to write this (and I apologize upfront for length) all I knew was that no matter what I wrote, it couldn't possibly do justice to my experience. They say that you don't remember what a person always says, but you remember the way they make you feel. Before going into the store, that is almost a little hidden if you're not looking for it on Grand Ave., I had a single encounter with the owner, Todd Gimble, at a networking event several months prior. I remembered that he knew a lot about cool rocks, was incredibly passionate about everything he discussed, and had an amazing personality. I also knew that all of my friends had gone to big box jewelers and had positive experiences. I'm pretty passionate about keeping things local; so I very skeptically decided to visit Todd and see what he had to offer (keep in mind that I honestly didn't know if I was going to an antique jeweler or that guy out of Aladdin with all of the watches in his trench coat). Wow. I had met this guy once and I was greeted like I just got to Thanksgiving dinner from out of state and didn't tell anyone I was coming. From there it was honestly one of the most uplifting, positive, NON-JUDGMENTAL, no-pressure, non-salesy experiences I've had (and I've spent 15 years in sales). If you're looking for a quick, thoughtless, costume-jewelry purchase then this is not your place, but if you're looking for meaning, education, value, friendship-quality service and no buyers remorse then you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least visit Gold'N Treasures. Todd can tell you his own story better than I can, but I'm now looking for reasons to buy jewelry just to have a reason to go back into the store without being creepy. Bravo to the staff and Todd. read more

You MUST go to Gold'n Treasures for any jewelry need. I have been there many times over the last twenty years. I have purchased new baubles and fixed old ones. Todd and his team are ALWAYS personable, thoughtful and fun! The integrity and passion that everyone at Gold'n Treasures shows is beyond all expectations. Please visit Todd... you will have a wonderful time and walk away with a beautiful new piece of jewelry! read more

I've found little gifts and big gifts over the last ten years or so. I've found them to be super personable and super helpful.

Let me first start out by saying that your search for custom engagement/wedding rings is officially over. Why? Because you're going to these guys. Today. Get in your car right now. :) The entire crew is amazing. I'm in the process of having them make custom engagement/wedding rings for myself and my boyfriend and they are the most genuine, fun, caring staff I've seen in a very long time. They truly care about their job and the positive attitude and commitment to making sure you're happy definitely shows. I've tried the big box fancy engagement ring stores and wasn't impressed. I'm incredibly picky and know exactly what I want. When I have my heart set on something, good luck changing my mind. These guys get it and are there 100% to work with me to make sure I'm fully over the top satisfied. We haven't even purchased my ring yet and I already love working with them. They don't work on commission so there's no pressure to spend your entire life savings on a piece of jewelry. They understand that people have budgets, mortgages, and kids who require a lot of time and money. They're real people who truly want you to be happy with whatever you buy. Seriously. Go check them out :) read more

Great staff and selection. Want something unique you have to make a stop here.

My fiancé and I are so happy we went with Gold'n Treasures for my engagement ring. We worked with Todd and Andy on my custom ring and it turned out beautifully! It is the perfect ring for me and it was nice to work with such knowledgable, honest, and hard working people. They really treat you like family and it was a great buying experience for a young couple like ourself. I had no idea what I liked and they gave me 'costume rings' to play around and try on, which was great! We can't wait to get our wedding bands from Gold'n Treasures and I tell all my friends who are close to becoming engaged to check out this place. It's great to support such a wonderful local business! read more

We've been longtime fans of Todd and his charming store- and I was reminded of why this past week when I stopped in. We purchased my engagement ring and our wedding bands here over 10 years ago. Over time my engagement ring had gotten misshapen and I couldn't force it on my stubby finger anymore. So on Friday I popped over to Gold'n Treasures (unannounced, I might add) to visit Todd and Monica. A few hours later I picked up my ring, along with my wedding band, both gleaming and back in newlywed shape. And although I'm sure my ring bent due to regular wear and tear that happens over time, they took care of it for me free of charge! I still get compliments almost every day on my solitaire, and I always direct admirers to Todd and his staff. Thanks, Gold'n Treasures- you're the best in the business! read more

I originally discovered this place by searching online for rings I found at Wedding Day and Shane Co. I learned that Gold'n Treasures happened to carry these same rings, but for significantly less. I didn't know what to expect walking into a place with a name like this one, and with it being fairly small, I thought I was going to be ambushed by Sales Reps, but it was by far my best ring-shopping experience. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. There's absolutely no pressure, and they are happy to just talk and answer questions. I did not have enjoyable experiences at other jewlery stores where I felt preyed upon by the sales reps, and how they seemed to turn the process into a massive time commitment. At Gold'n treasures, they are very quick to help you find the style of ring you want. Then, if you're ready, you can come back and meet with Todd to learn more about the gems and cuts. That part of the process usually bores me to death, but having wine and listening to Todd's Trip Hop playlist, while he talks about diamonds was actually a blast. The man has such a blast talking and geeking out over diamonds, that it's quite charming. Most importantly, though, he wants you to have the best experience, so he looks at what is the best stone for you, based on the ring, your budget, and preferences. He doesn't oversell or draw out the process longer than it needs to be. The staff at Gold'n Treasures definitely care about making the experience as best as possible for the customer, and I will happily go through them again for any future jewelry needs. read more

I went in to Gold'n Treasures for the first time to get a few links taken out a new Kate Spade watch that was given to me as a gift and purchased elsewhere. The customer service was incredible from the moment I walked in, even though it was a Saturday afternoon and fairly busy. As I was waiting to have the links taken out of my watch, another employee offered to clean my engagement ring for me (also purchased elsewhere). I wasn't charged for anything and the employees were incredibly kind, not pressuring me once to even look at anything to purchase. Amazing customer service, and I will be sure to go there in the future to check out the beautiful selection or with any other jewelry needs! read more

I just moved back from France and I didn't know where to take my engagement ring when one of my prongs got loose! I looked it up on yelp on the way to where I was going to buy a car and this place popped up. It was awesome! When I walked in, Todd greeted me with a smile and asked me how he could help me, he took my ring back and got it completely fixed and cleaned and he changed the battery in my watch for FREE! He was just awesome friendly he gave me a tour and he told me how they do their business, mom and pops like this need to stick around! #familyjeweler read more

The WORST! take forever to get back to you and over charge. They didn't even call me when my fiancees ring came in and almost ruined the proposal, I had to drive in at the last second and ask if it was there, which it had been all day! Talk about stress, then I went to look at where they got the ring from online and they charged over $550 more on a $1100 ring and told me they had "no room." B.S. I got screwed! Don't let it happen to you. read more

Love this place! When I visited to get a new battery put in a watch and also to have another new watch's band made smaller so it would fit, they came back to me with the work completed at the counter, naturally I asked the man (don't know the name--sorry!) how much I owed him and he informed me that there was no charge due to the fact that "the battery is older and we wouldn't charge for the band adjustment in any case". I was dumbfounded because this is not usual procedure in any jewelry store I've ever visited. They are usually just happy to take your hard earned money for any tiny thing they do for you. Totally new experience in my life in a jewelry store and if ever I need assistance with any issue that comes up with my jewelry or my watches, I'll be sure to come back here and nowhere else in the future. Totallly makes me think of culture shock in a new country. read more

Todd Gimble at Gold'n Treasures is an absolutely wonderful gemnologist to work with. I came there looking for an engagement diamond, and he sat down with me to patiently explain and teach me all about diamonds. The great thing about Todd is, you can tell him your needs/budget, and he will do all the legwork for you to find you a selection of stones he has handpicked and customized to what you're seeking. Throughout the entire process, I never felt pressured or that Todd was trying to "sell" me anything I didn't want. Todd was thoroughly objective, honest, transparent, and always gracious and hospitable. I felt at ease, comfortable, and most of all, trusted Todd completely. If you're looking for an engagement ring (or any other jewelry--he has a gorgeous pieces I want to add to my wishlist!), I would definitely recommend going here to this local jewelry store. His staff will greet you, offer you a glass of wine or coffee, and make you feel at home. I discovered Todd through a referral from a friend, and I want to pass along this great referral to others. Todd is solid, smart, and a wonderful person who will work with you on your pace and comfort level to help you find the jewelry you're seeking. read more
