My husband and I like to look at jewelry stores when we travel. We happened to stumble on John Atencio in Larimar Square in Denver Colorado. We were instantly greeted by Jonette, the representative of the store. We walked around and loved what we saw and the designs that John Atencio created from different metals and stones. I bought 2 amazing bracelets. One was a yellow gold bangle with diamonds and the other was a white and yellow gold design with diamonds. Absolutely beautiful pieces. So happy with my purchase. If you're ever in the Denver area checkout John Atencio Jewelry store. I'll definitely go again! read more

Jonette greeted me so kindly when I entered. She was very knowledgeable about John's amazingly beautiful wearable art. It was so hard to choose which piece I wanted to give my wife for our 21st anniversary. Prices were very reasonable for such pretty jewelry. Thank you for all your help! Jim M. read more

I went in to have a custom ring made and Jonette Barone took great care in listening to and creating what I wanted. The ring, for my 25th anniversary, exceeded my expectations. I love it! The experience was wonderful from beginning to end. I highly recommend. Thank you Jonette and John Atencio! read more

Last year I came to Denver and happened upon John Atencio on Larimer. The store was not open yet but Jewelry Consultant, Jonette was so kind and hearing I was visiting from Tampa, took the time to show me the ring I had my eye on. I bought it, and love it so much that I wear it everyday! I get compliments on it all the time. When we decided to come back to Denver, it was the first place on my list to visit! I was so happy to see Jonette in the store again! She is very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I walked out with two more pieces that I love! Would highly recommend! read more

How sad I am to write a horrible review on a wedding ring I love, and one that we paid John Atencio Jewelers $20,000. for. I discovered a chip in the princess cut center stone of my wedding ring two years, almost to the day, from the date it was purchased. Needless to say I was sickened when I saw it, and immediately contacted and sent John Atencio Jewelers my ring to assess and then discuss my options with me. The response I got was, I would lose 1/4 c. in the recutting of the stone, and would be charged $2,000 to reset the smaller stone...or, if I would like to, they would keep my current stone and I could purchase a replacement stone of the same size/color/clarity/cut as my center stone was before the chip - for an additional $7,675...and, just in case you think this is a typo or something, it amounts to $7,675 for 1/4c difference in stone size. I'm not sure what I was expecting - but I can definitely tell you it felt as though they were seizing an opportunity to exploit an unfortunate situation to their financial advantage - and they didn't give a hoot about me - their customer - who had spent $20,000 just two years previously. Shame on me for thinking any of that mattered - so I asked for my ring to be sent back to me. Now comes the part where I, in tears, take my ring to a jeweler I've done business with for 20 years, to get his guidance and advice. After examination under a 30+ magnification, he showed me the rough, unfinished inside setting where the center stone was set (visible because the chipped area of the stone exposed a small portion of the interior setting). This area should have been smoothed, polished, and finished to create a level and smooth surface for the center stone to be set. There is no way, of course, for anyone to know with any degree of certainty, if this was the cause of the chip - but it can be said with great certainty, that this poor workmanship in preparing the area for the setting of the center stone, increased the risk of possible chipping or fracturing of the stone. Over the next three agonizing months there were dozens of telephone conversations between me, my jeweler, and David Atencio. I offered to send Atencio Jewelers photos of the inside of the setting to illustrate and verify what was found (even though everything I was shown by my jeweler, would have been visible to Atencio Jewelers when the ring was in their possession for over a week)! It was going to cost me $1,000 for my jeweler to re-cut and re-set the center stone. I was going to lose .08c (not 1/4c) and be charged half of what Atencio Jewelers was going to charge me...and...David Atencio agreed to cover the cost and make it right...BUT HE NEVER DID!!!!!!! Moral of the story - if you're going to spend $200, $2000, or $20,000 of your hard earned money - give it to someone that takes pride in quality workmanship (not just what's visible on the outside); cares about their customers (and not just at point-of-sale); and that you can trust to be honorable and a man of their word...John Atencio Jewelers has NONE OF THESE ATTRIBUTES. read more

Mr. Atencio. I love your employees as they always greet me with pleasant smiles and wonderful conversations about your "art" as I'm told you like to call it. But sir only .05% of your store are for men??? Men like jewelry as much as anyone else. I'll always stop by when in the area and hoping you broaden your merchandise. read more

This place is unreal cool - saw Their ad in 5280 magazine thought I'd stop in and check out their custom jewelry -- what cool shit at any rate I bought myself a new wedding ring. I found a black one with rose gold rhodium - very cool great price too under $1,000..highly recommend this place. read more

It's extremely interesting to see that another customer had a problem with a fractured diamond from John Atencio. My wife discovered her diamond was broken as well. However, we thought it had been switched out when we left it with a mall jeweler to be polished. No way to tell, but certainly an interesting coincidence... I left my wife's diamond with Liz at the LoDo (Larimer Square) location to reset a different stone. I paid for the stone to be set, but chose to purchase another stone with more brilliace on line. When I came to pick it up, Liz refused to reimburse me for the cost of the stone I purchased from them, stating she had made a mistake on the cost of setting the stone. Keep in mind we had spoken several times by phone, but no mention of the difference in cost. I chose the Devotion setting 27 years ago because I felt John Atencio's work was unique. I was planning on purchasing the new Intrigue setting becasue of its beautiful setting and silver color for my wife, but after experiencing this type of customer service, it's clear there is no customer loyalty, and the focus is only on getting a quick buck! I will be taking my business elsewhere and I suggest you do the same. BUYER BEWARE. read more

Disappointed in the lack of service from John Atencio Jewelers. They fialed to provide the customer service expected with the purchase of our wedding jewelry. I had considered them holding a higher standard of service. read more

John Atencio Jewelry is the ONLY jewelry I buy/wear. My love affair with John Atencio's Jewelry began more than two decades ago when I saw an ad in a magazine while visiting Denver and Boulder. My husband and I were on a belated honeymoon when I fell in love with John's designs; I ended up leaving my wedding ring in Colorado so John could reset my diamond in the PASSION setting and we went home to Wisconsin. Since then I have purchased pearl and diamond pendants, earrings, a circle of life pendant engraved in memory of a very special golden retriever we lost much too soon and the list goes on. JOHN ATENCIO's designs and philosophy are both beautiful and I only wish I could afford to have more of them. I cherish every piece of jewelry I have from the JA collections and continue to receive compliments on each and every piece. THANK YOU, JOHN ATENCIO, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. read more

I got the privilege of meeting David Atencio at the Denver store today. Much like meeting John years ago, David was amazing today. He took care of my needs and made my wife's rings look like new again. His kindness has convinced me to come buy again. Customer service like this is rare. read more
