I was originally very pleased with it/ wore it for 2 1/2 years and looked down and a prong had snapped/ devistated I immediately went to the store and was quoted $250.00+ for a repair to the prong? I felt I really had no choice but was rather disgusted that it had not held up better? I then received a call from the manager Lori, stating that all 4 prongs would have to be completely replaced? I was dumbfounded and said that it was ridiculous that after only a short period of owning this brand new setting that this could be possible. She said she wanted to ask the jeweler on hand more about it. after a day or so I got another call from Lori stating that there had been a mistake and that it was someone else's ring that was almost exactly like mine? with a similar name as mine and she was sorry and the 1 prong was going to be fixed. I then waited ( roughly 10+days) and was then notified it was ready/ I went to retrieve it and she attempted to offer me a gift card for my inconvenience?/ I said no and she then went into the back brought my ring out and said because I was so upset that there was no charge. I said I truly appreciated that and left. not even 3 months later I looked do at my finger and the prong was gone again... I immediately returned to the store and was extremely upset/ They then brought out another gentleman who identified himself as the buyer/ I don't recall his name. He assured me that he was going to be handling this himself and was going to contact the manufacturer of the setting I purchased originally and have them handle this because of the obvious poor workmanship! I was very apprehensive of leaving this beautiful ring that was what my Mother left me upon her death with them again/ He assured me it would only be about 10 days and that he would keep me notified personally with updates. I waited 3 weeks and finally called/ He was sick? I wanted a date of when the ring would be returned to me I was told it was shipping on 6-16-25 and it would be a couple of days ? so on 6-19-25 I called and was transferred to Lori again/ I asked her where it was? she said " oh it's do here any day and we haven't gotten our shipment today. I still have heard nothing about the status of my mothers ring. I would and will never recommend anyone use this Jeweler / the customer service is atrocious and obviously my ring is lost? and or not repaired....

DO NOT GO HERE, avoid at all costs!…read more Absolutely horrible experience, ruined my wedding ring and so rude and unprofessional. Do not risk bringing your jewelry here, they will ruin it and take no responsibility, it's clear they don't know what they're doing. Brought my wedding ring in for a loose main prong, received it back weeks later with the prong even looser than when I brought it to them, with two stones completely missing which were perfectly fine before, and a huge black resin burn on the main diamond. Not only did they not fix what they were supposed to, they sent my ring back mangled. I have no idea how or why this would happen and how they wouldn't notice this before returning it to me. They also apparently don't take photos or videos of rings before and after repair for documentation, which is wildly unprofessional and is basically jewelry repair 101. Thankfully I took my own photos as evidence, as we're suing the company for the cost to repair the damage they did. They also don't do the repairs in store, which they weren't transparent about, and send it out to god knows where, so be further warned that it's a massively sketchy and unprofessional operation. On top of having no skills as a jeweler, their customer service is atrocious and they treat customers like garbage once they have your money. When I called to discuss my concerns with the state of my ring, the old woman working was immediately defensive, insulting, rude, and accused me of lying and swore at me. Not sure what I would gain by lying about their botched job, I just wanted the situation rectified. She also admitted they don't do repairs in house and don't take pictures or document what is damaged and what they fixed, insanely unprofessional and a scam of a business. They should be ashamed of how they damage pieces that mean the world to people, and then treat and talk to customers horribly. Save soo much time, frustration and heartbreak and go to a business with actual skill and integrity and who treats their customers as they deserve. Edited to address business comments below: Ma'am, I did not swear at you, and have the recorded call as proof of your unprofessionalism and rudeness. You did offer to 'fix' the damage, but who in their right mind would trust you with their jewelry for a second time to fix the issues you carelessly caused, after you sent back my ring with the original issue not fixed, and more damage added on top of it, that you didn't even notice? Insane. For you to say 'I did not want this done', is wild, I shouldn't have to bring my ring back to repair burns you left while not even fixing my issue. Potential customers, do you really want to put your trust and jewelry in the hands of unknown 'contractors'? Very sketchy. Even if my mom was happy with past, non complex, jobs you did, it doesn't mean this one wasn't a total disaster that you did not take accountability for. Everyone, save the headache and lawyer fees and go to someone sane and professional!

She wasn't the nicest, but I'm willing to put up with some gruffness from an expert. However, there were so many mistakes during the design process I barely received my engagement ring during the year long engagement before the wedding. The ring was beautiful from far away, but super sloppy close up. The spacing and height was off on the side diamonds, but it was a 3 hour trip to go there and she was so rude all the time that I gave up on getting it fixed. The wedding band was not what I expected because the diamonds in it were set in a channel with blank space on either side and looks bad. The rings were cleaned and checked there for 4 years or so. I had to stop wearing rings just after that and I was always worried about the integrity of the engagement ring. The rings were cleaned and stored in the box for the last 12 years (which was also cheap and didn't hold up). I just took the ring out to get resized and wear again. And all those sloppy areas--the ring is actually breaking down. I couldn't believe when I looked under a loupe at it. The gold channels are actually breaking off. This comes from sloppy technique in its creation. This ring should have lasted a lifetime, but it's going to cost me $1,700 to get it fixed after 5 years of wear?! Sloppy, shoddy work by a shop run by an incredibly rude person whose business model seems to be so difficult to work with (after she gets your money), that it is a horrific experience regardless, and you end up with a subpar piece at an expensive price. I also witnessed her being very nice to some people and rude to others, so maybe part of it is about how much money she thinks you have and whether she has gotten your money yet. I got the sense she prefers to sell jewelry she has already created, but when I was there, the engagement settings were all pretty similar and not what I wanted.
