Jim is the kindest guy and an excellent jeweler! When my husband proposed in 2018 he found me this…read morebeautiful and unique art deco filigree piece. At the time I wasn't sure of my ring size and he got me a 4 although it's a 3.5. For years I have been wearing a bumper on it so it fits, which I know that sounds ridiculous to wear a bumper for so long but time just got away from me. Unfortunately the band on the back started to wear and I became worried it would break. I brought it in to a few local jewelry stores and they were afraid to add a shank and resize due to the delicate nature of the ring but Jim not only agreed to do it but he was so friendly, and seemed invested in the process! Pricing was very reasonable, service was fast, and my ring looks as good as new! Thank you so much!

I cannot say enough great things about Alex and the entire team at Dublin Village Jewelers. They…read moretruly went above and beyond to make the entire engagement ring process as stress free and seamless as possible. They took the time to walk me through every step in a way that was clear, honest, and approachable, and were always mindful of my budget. Alex was fantastic to work with and kept me in the loop every step of the way. He took my loose ideas and turned them into something thoughtful, unique, and honestly better than I had pictured. The ring itself turned out absolutely stunning, a true piece of art that my fiance and I will cherish for a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful for their guidance and craftsmanship, and would highly recommend Dublin Village Jewelers to anyone!

My fiancé and I came here over the weekend in hopes to view wedding bands. We found them through…read moreGoogle, they had a lot of positive reviews. The reason I gave them two stars is because when we came in, we didn't even get a greeting, we spent over five minutes, just waiting for someone to greet us with no luck at all. While we're waiting, I briefly looked over there selection and it was pretty limited. Though not sure if they have more options elsewhere since we weren't able to speak to anyone. We ended up leaving because we felt like if we're going to make that type of investment. There's a level of customer service that accompanies that.

Update - I received a call from the owner Theresa within an hour of posting my review. She was very…read moreapologetic and her sincerity was very evident. She immediately began looking into what had happened before she called me, and now has the ball rolling. It should be noted that she called from her personal cell phone and is personally making sure that everything is rectified. I dreaded the prospect of starting this process over. Until this we were genuine "five star review" customers of Worthington Jewelers from prior experience. That is what made this so shocking to me. However, Theresa has restored the image and impression we have carried of Worthington Jewelers from the first time we walked in the door. I want to make sure that I provide up to date information and reviews so that folks can see for themselves what is happening and make their own decisions. Also, if I can take the time to write a negative review, then I can certainly take the time to make sure folks know when the store steps up to the plate to make things right. Theresa - thank you. Truly. You don't know how much it means to me that you called me, and that my wife will get this gift. *** I am a repeat customer of Worthington Jewelers, so I am shocked that I have to write this review. I went in just before Valentine's Day with a request to have specific stones mounted in a yellow gold cross. Each stone was specific corresponding to a special month between my wife and I. I started working with Stephen on this. It was going to take some time which I understood. Stephen starts the process to see what needed to be done with regards to the setting, how it comes, replacing stones, etc. I was expecting and update within about a week (per Stephen) which did not come. I had to call to follow up. That led to a return call and a trip in to the store to inspect the parts. Several adjustments were needed (that is also expected in custom work for jewelry, so I was good with this). Once the revisions were decided I left the store expecting get an update within the next couple weeks at the very least. No dice. After almost a month of no contact I called and left a voicemail asking for an update. This was about two and a half weeks ago. I received no call. I made a return call and left another voicemail four days ago. I still have heard nothing from the store. I don't understand why none has taken the time to return my call, or why I'm clearly not important enough to them to take seriously. The piece I am having customized may not be a $10,000 piece of completely custom jewelry, but I am a customer. If they are not interested then at least tell me. If they are facing staffing shortages and are running behind and can't get to the work I understand that as well. I'm flexible. There are no words for the level of disappointment I feel over this. It took me a long time to come up with this idea, pick the stones that had the most meaning, and put the entire idea together. This is not easy for me to do for various reasons. This is something my wife will cherish due to the meaning behind it. She has been through several very tough years and I just wanted her to have something that would show how much I truly love her. I will still get this piece made somewhere. I just don't know where yet. Very disappointed.

YE Gurl Says: Service Matters More Than Sparkle at Worthington Jewelers…read more Place: Worthington Jewelers Context: Bridal show intro + in-store visits I really wanted to root for this one. I'm a fan of local, mom-and-pop businesses--especially for something as meaningful as wedding jewelry. Met the team at a bridal show, and while the energy felt a little off (crowds were heavy, so I gave grace), they warmed up enough to mention an extended bridal promo and encouraged me to stop in. So I did. And unfortunately... the experience never quite landed. When I came into the store, it was busy again--fair--but the interaction felt just as unclear as before. I explained exactly what I was looking for (even showed a Tiffany & Co. reference), and was immediately told customization was the only option... with no pricing guidance, no range, no transparency. That's a miss. When I did find a band in-store that worked, I moved forward--still without a clear idea of cost. After a long back-and-forth with a manufacturer, the quote came back at over $1,500 more than the comparable Tiffany piece. Pause. I also had to remind them about their own bridal promotion while actively making a purchase. That shouldn't be on the customer. To salvage the visit, I added earrings and dropped off jewelry for repair (which, to be clear, the smith work was excellent). But the buying experience? Still off. And here's where it really mattered: I later found my original ring through my Tiffany rep and called to cancel the order. Thankfully, I caught it in time--because buried in the fine print is that custom orders are non-cancelable. That's the kind of detail that should be clearly communicated upfront, not discovered later. Even the cancellation process felt like work. I was told someone would call me back... hours passed... I had to follow up myself to close the loop. Final visit to pick up my repaired jewelry? Empty store, but still somehow rushed. I tried to browse, got prompted to check out early, asked about items I'd previously seen--and was told they didn't exist. Then spotted them right next to me at checkout. At that point, I paid for the repair work and left with the same energy I walked in with: rushed, unclear, and not particularly welcomed. YE Gurl Insight: There's a difference between *nice* and *kind*. Nice feels scripted. Kind feels intentional. And in a category like jewelry--where purchases are emotional, high-investment, and personal--experience is everything. Final Take: * Craftsmanship (repairs): Strong * Retail experience: Inconsistent at best * Pricing transparency: Lacking * Overall vibe: Off I understand why more people are opting for brands like Tiffany & Co. or even online retailers like Mejuri --you get clarity, consistency, and a smoother experience without the friction. YE Gurl Says: Support local when it feels good to do so. But if the experience makes you second-guess a meaningful purchase? Trust that instinct and move accordingly.

We absolutely loved working with the team at CDI Diamonds & Jewelry! My husband had originally…read morepicked out my engagement ring from here, starting with a design that they had and customizing it to make it extra special for me. He had rose gold added to the side of the ring, and a euro shank to help balance it out. I had no involvement in the ring design process - he did it completely alone with the help of CDI, and I love my ring to death!! It took about 3 tries of resizing for us to get the free just right, but now it is absolutely perfect. For my wedding bands, I had a design in mind and was able to work with CDI to get custom rings created. The custom rings were made to have the euro shank to line up with my engagement ring, and were also made to be the same width as the main ring in order to match better. I then wanted two different textures on each ring, and diamonds from my grandmother's wedding rings embedded in the side. Since these rings were then soldered together, it again took me 2 tries to get the resizing right. CDI was very patient with my vision, and helped create rings that I will love for life. Thank you!

Billie and the team at Alfred Leo came through for me and Sarah. On a cold, rainy Saturday they brightened up a gray day with amazing service. They worked first to figure out what Sarah wanted, then gave us a few options to check out. We found out which ring composition matched her skin tone, then went from there. I had an existing stone and we worked as a team to come up with the right setting. Billie then worked on pricing with me and it turned out great. She had the ring ready to go a few days later, including the estimate. Even the earring that my stone came in was able to be recycled for metal. I would recommend them again and again. They treat every customer with dignity and service. Even if you never meet Alfred Leo, you WILL meet their great staff, and you WILL get a great experience!

The sales person asked what she could help me with and I said, well I am needing a battery for my watch and before could say," this is my first time here! Your store is lovely"! She shut me down. she said, not a problem if I didn't mind waiting 3 weeks until after the new year, that they were just too busy. And then added ... anything else you are needing?! I wanted to take a look around as my battery was being replaced and I was needing a 14k gold cross for my Grandson's baptism. At that point, there was no way I was staying. Sales people have forgotten how to build business, definitely a missed opportunity for Leo Alfred Jewelers... and sadly, I will not be returning.

Buyer Beware!!!!!…read more Disappointed with my experience. Not only was I told that the ring I purchased could not be returned but diamond cellar refused to even help or suggest any ideas for ways to sell it on consignment. And they refused to sell their ring on consignment because it was made of lab grown diamonds. Diamond cellar sells lab grown diamonds and they claim there is an after market for. Just like if you purchase a car, it loses some of its value after you drive off the lot, but in this case imagine that the ring we purchased has a zero value the minute we purchased. They surely know how profusely apologize for offering "nothing we can do" but they clearly don't stand behind the product they sell. They seem more than happy to leave their customers without any help or options as we are sent on our way with a, "sorry, there is nothing we can do." I asked for some escalation to management but its been over a month and no call or contact made by staff. I knew what I bought but assumed that they would at least provide assistance in dealing with the situation instead of leaving me on my own to figure it out. Better off going to a local jewelers.

The quality of their products seem good as well but for someone who is crafty there are very few things I would actually purchase because with a little effort I could easily make them myself (and do... hair bows, tutus, aprons, etc) or find exactly what I want on Etsy.com for the same prices and have custom made to my specifications. Maybe the do custom orders, I don't know, I didn't ask but when I went there the two sales people sitting at the front desk both said "hi" right as I walked into the door but didn't ask if I needed help or asked how I was or anything. They were not busy, I was the only person in the store at that time, they just kept on going about their conversation even while they checked me out. Barely got eye contact with either of them. Again, place is cute, clean, etc... if you don't like ordering stuff online or are not crafty yourself or have the time to be this place would be just great.
