The band had flattened out on one side, creating 2 gaps in the platinum. The ring was filthy. It's hard to describe the awful shape the ring was in, but someone said it looked like it was run over by a truck. By the time Knutson's was done, my 20 year old ring looked BRAND NEW!! I couldn't be happier! Scott was so helpful and professional, Julie was so friendly and Dolce was simply adorable. The jewelry that's also for sale there is gorgeous! I highly highly highly recommend Knutson Jewelers!

I brought my wife in under the guise of just getting her ring checked, making sure all the jewels were secure, and maybe having Scott fill in the razor-thin part of the bottom. What we left with was nothing short of amazing--a newly rebuilt, stunning ring that still resembled the original but looked brand new. Scott took his time and turned our 20th-anniversary rebuild into a custom dream. He managed to create a beautiful new piece that still felt like "the ring," honoring its history while giving it a fresh life. I still can't believe the transformation he accomplished, especially for such a reasonable price! If you're looking for a jeweler who truly cares about craftsmanship and attention to detail, Knutson Jewelers are the best. This place is a true gem in Clovis, and I can't recommend them enough!

I wouldn't trust them with selling any of your gold or silver -- this was by far the lowest quote I've received anywhere. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere more transparent and fair.

I Left the watch and ring with them for a minor repair early in May. I told them I wanted to remove a link to resize the watchband and asked if they could refurbish the watch case. The ring was missing a tiny diamond chip. I needed the missing diamond chip replaced. June rolls around and so far I had heard nothing from anyone about any progress. 3 weeks pass before I got curious and impatient and decided to call to find out what was going on. Ken says "the diamonds are on back order and that the watch would be about $190 to repair. We didn't know if you wanted to spend that much to get the watch repaired so we didn't know what to do. Hmmm. Here's a novel idea. PICK UP A PHONE AND CALL ME ON THE NUMBER ON THE ESTIMATE! Jeez. Ask a question. You might just get an answer. It made me wonder how long my watch would have sat there if I hadn't bothered to call and check? I explained to Ken that yes, like the estimate says, repair the watch and resize the band by taking out a link. He asked if I wanted the crystal replaced. I say yes. It's not a super expensive watch but it has sentimental value and I wanted it completely repaired. Three more weeks pass and no news. No call. I call again. They say the store is closed for a week for vacation and they don't have any information on my watch or ring. But they will call me as soon as they are open again. Finally call me yesterday ( it's now mid July. It's been well over ten weeks since I dropped it off.) They ask, what are we supposed to do to the ring? I said it was supposed to get one of the diamonds replaced that is missing. He says "Oh. It looks like it's already been replaced. I guess you can pick it up tomorrow." Wife goes to pick up the watch and ring and they ask her, "Did he want the crystal replaced? It's got a couple of scratches in it." I told my wife to just pay for whatever they did and bring it home. I certainly didn't want to leave it with them again for another 10 weeks. She gets it home. I put it on only to find out they never took a link out to resize the band. Do I recommend them? Ha. This level of incompetence or complacency is really hard to find. I can understand a miscommunication. A mistake. This minor task was a train wreck from start to finish. The other funny thing? When I dropped the watch off, I asked the guy if they had a Citizen watch like mine except with a green dial face instead of the blue and he immediately said no no. I can check around but that would be pretty hard to find." As I was walking out the door, I looked to the left and in their watch display window I saw one sitting there with a green face. I just now decided to order it. On Amazon. The only assumption I can come up with, is that this is place must be just a storefront for laundering money. I can't imagine how they can stay in business with this level of customer service. I'm kidding of course, but yeah, I'm thinking I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

I took my Omega Seamaster in to reinstall one of the indicators from the screen, as it fell off when I dropped the watch (it was loose inside the screen). The owner, George Karkazian welcomed me in the store, and looked at my watch personally. He wanted a freaking 200 dollars just to place the indicator back in its place (a 3 minutes job) I told him that his price is outrageous, and he became verbally abusive. He was rude to me, and told me that because I tried to open the watch (I loosened the back cover) he is going to charge me an extra 50 dollars as a "fine" ?! The guy is out of his mind! He is obnoxious, he is rude, abusive and very controlling. He overcharges and has a God syndrome. I am a mental health clinician and I have to tell you that this freaking person has a MENTAL DISORDER in the way he behaves and he needs therapy treatment and medication! I would not recommend you go to this guy's shop as he is trying to rip off customers and he is a bully. Stay away from the BULL-CRAZY-ANS, they are incompetent, expensive and highly abusive and rude! By the way, I took my watch home, I opened it, took the indicator in my finger, placed it back in its spot, and it was done. I fixed it myself in 5 minutes with NO TOOLS, and my watch is still running to this day with no problems. KARKAZIAN JEWELERS ARE SCAMMERS AND VERY VERY BAD in their service, their price and their attitude. Stay away from this bad bad people, they suck! read more

I found these folks as I was driving on Shaw and I decided to check them out. The staff were really friendly and cleaned my necklace for free as I browsed. I mentioned I had a watch that was currently being used as an expensive paperweight and they asked me to bring it in one day to have it looked at. I brought it in a few days later and they gave me an estimate on how much it would cost. A bit pricey but I expected that so I handed it in. They were able to have it working earlier than they estimated and the watch guy also cleaned up the scratches and made it look almost brand new. I was extremely happy with the service and I'm sure the watch would still be working today if I hadn't gotten careless and lost it. I'm definitely coming back to them for a replacement and I highly recommend anyone who wants quality work and want to support a local business! read more

I had a ring that was a bit small on me. Many places I went to told me that if I can resize it, it would be hundreds of dollars and/or they had to send it elsewhere to be resized. When I found Karkazian Jewelers, it felt like a miracle occurred as they charged me $90 and did everything themselves in the back. I didn't have to worry about my ring getting lost in the mail. I also wanted an engraving in it, which they also did for me. When I picked up my ring, it looked so nice I couldn't even tell where they had soldered my ring. It was all smooth flush and neat. The engraving was exactly what I had imagined, the size was perfect, and they even went out of their way to clean it. I was not disappointed in any way!! read more

"I just wanted to drop a note saying how well I was treated today at Karkazian Jewelers. I came in to have a watch battery replaced and I was so impressed with your employees. One young gentleman showed me several expensive time pieces while the gentleman behind the counter took care of my watch. I guess what impressed me the most was I came in for a simple repair and I was treated as if I were a Hollywood star. This type of service is becoming extinct. You see more and more young people at retail establishments that simply don't care one way or another - what you think of their service. The Karkazian Jewelers staff and service is simply amazing!" read more

Our 25th anniversary was fast approaching and I was looking for the perfect gift to give my husband. I searched the Internet for silver or white gold wedding bands and found the one for us!
