Working with Jeff at Jewelsmithe to create our ring was an absolute dream from start to finish. They truly listened to everything we envisioned and brought it to life even better than I could have imagined. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and care they put into their work is unmatched. Not only is the ring stunning, but the entire process felt so personal and special. If you are looking for master jewelers who genuinely care about their clients and their craft, look no further. Thank you for making something I will cherish forever! We started by siting down with Jeff for almost 2 hours just talking and really getting to know one another as we described our perfect ring. Between their friendly dog chopper and the clear mastery of his craft, the whole experience was a blast. He was patient and professional with us as we took our time going over the different models and ideas. We then set a time for another meeting to finalize details, talk price and begin the process. Small down payment required. The ring was done 3 weeks early and pricing was second to none. Jeff was kind and generous and I have already recommended them to many others. read more

I took my original 1/4 diamond engagement ring my husband got me back in 1991. I wanted the diamond put into a pendant and Mr. Lomax showed me this pendant he had with the pink/blue tourmaline stones and said he could put my diamond in this pendant. I fell in love with it and picked up the pendant this past Saturday. It turned out great and I will love wearing this everyday. I have a beautiful pendant with sentimental meaning that I will be able to pass down to my daughter one day. read more

On August 26, 2024, I hired Mr. Lomax to work on a few different projects. He fixed a gold chain while I waited and did a great job. Next was my daughter's ring. It is a small promise-type ring in a swirl design. She caught it on the washer and lost one of the tiny diamonds, pulling it up and out of round. He was to replace the diamond and make it round again, lowering the swirl that was lifted up. Then came my project. He was to remove the head (diamond and prongs setting) of one ring, place it in another ring, and move the swirls out further on that ring. He would also need to remove the smaller diamond from that ring. I would have the platinum shank left from the first ring and the smaller diamond from the second. This would take 3 weeks--a bit long, but okay. The invoice says it was promised on the "15th." After 3 weeks, he called me and asked me what he was supposed to be doing because he couldn't read his own writing on the invoice. I explained it to him, and he seemed to remember. He was having some family issues and said it would be another 3 weeks. I think he could hear the displeasure in my voice. He texted me on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept 21, with a picture of my finished ring. I thought it came out great. I picked up our rings the following Monday afternoon. I asked him for my ring shank and loose diamond. He could not find them. He said he would look and get back to me right away. I was very concerned because the ring shank is platinum. When I handed my daughter her ring, and she put it on, she realized that he may have replaced the diamond but did not fix the ring because it was still out of round. The swirl was still lifted. I discovered that my ring wasn't sized. I realized it must have been an oversight as it wasn't listed to be done on the invoice either. We decided we didn't want to wait another 3 weeks for him to "fix" something, so we went to my out-of-town jeweler. They were able to fix her ring within minutes. Mine- well, that's another story. When they went to resize it they discovered that the prongs were so loose the diamond was spinning around inside the setting. Since I now live out of town, they fixed it for me that afternoon. I texted him on September 24 to inquire about my missing shank and on September 25 to remind him that I was also missing the diamond from the other ring. I did not receive a response. I texted him again on September 28 to ask about my missing parts. I did not receive a response. I texted him again on October 10 and realized he must have blocked me. I was not harassing at all in my inquiries. On November 25, Mr. Lomax called me to say he had my ring shank. He didn't know why he had it, but it was there with my name on it. I asked about the loose diamond and he was confused and said he knew nothing about a loose diamond. He said he would be open the Friday after Thanksgiving and then back to regular hours. I picked up my ring shank on December 2. I couldn't believe my eyes. I have no idea why, but he cut my platinum band. I'm left with two-thirds of a ring shank. I was shocked. There was NO reason for him to cut my ring like that to remove the heading. He didn't use any platinum in the ring he placed the heading. I asked him again about the diamond, and he had no clue. There is no talking to this man, he dismisses you. read more

Repair was very late. When I called after one month still not ready. Tim to find another jewelry repair person

I've bought multiple pieces of jewelry and had several custom pieces crafted by this amazing jeweler. He has always been honest and timely when repairs were needed. He's the best of the best! read more

The man who runs the shop is an interesting. Hats yet. Aside from that, he is very professional when it comes to his jewelry. He worked on my wife's wedding ring and pointed out exactly what was the problem. He walked he through what needed to be fixed and even took up close pictures as to what the problem actually was. For us, we had some spacing issues on holding the diamond. He showed exactly which prong and what is wrong and how to fix it. He may be an acquired taste for people but his craftsmanship and his diligence to the jewelry is what really counts. I would recommend him for any jewelry repair. read more

ZERO STARS - AVOID AT ALL COSTS (Moved to Broad St. Across from Jim's pawn shop.) Witnessed the owner chase down a young girl who was all by herself in the parking lot to SCREAM at her for parking in the "wrong spot". At the time, there was a TON of other empty spaces in the lot, no signs saying reserved parking, and zero customers in his shop. He didn't approach her nicely and ask, he just RAN UP ON HER AND STARTED SCREAMING. Absolutely appalling behavior. Don't give this animal your business. I'm sure there are shops with better merchandise who don't treat people like garbage. He deserves to fail. read more

I came here to get my antique engagement ring repaired, and was so happy with his work and fair pricing. He even talked me out of getting more work done to it so that it wouldn't compromise the ring breaking again and therefor needing more repairs. Highly recommended. read more

A fellow local professional recommended Jewelsmithe to me. Mr. Lomax has helped her make unique pieces from jewelry her husband bought for her while deployed. I brought him a pile of broken fine and costume jewelry I'd accumulated over the years- not exactly the most creative request, just "help!" Mr. Lomax was very friendly and asked me to describe exactly what I needed done for each piece (such as: need a loop here, a clasp there, reattach this, untie vicious knot in fine gold chain, etc). He fixed each item perfectly for a very fair price. He was also a pleasure to talk to. I will definitely come again! read more

Mr. Lomax was very kind to me. He has beautiful colored stones, which I am a big fan, has years of experience in the field, and a pleasure to talk to. I have purchased a ring and having one sized. His prices are very reasonable. read more
