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!

There is something to be said about a local family-owned business. Everyone here is so friendly,…read moreknowledgeable, and inviting. They don't ever make you feel pressured to buy anything or try to upcharge you. My husband got my engagement ring custom made here last year. They worked with him on every detail until it was exactly what he wanted and it turned out beautiful. We proceeded to get our wedding rings from here as well - both have custom work done to them, mine especially. They collaborated with me on the design I wanted and hand carved it. They spent a lot of time ensuring it was to their standards. I know this because they told us they didn't like the first one they made and started over. I highly recommend coming here for any personalization or jewelry needs.

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.

I don't know how purchasing jewelry from this store is. My review is just about getting rings…read moresized/repaired. I stopped in based on the reviews. I have a ring that had a 3.0+mm wide and 2.3mm depth band. It needed to be sized down almost a full size. I took it in and was guaranteed they could do it no issue... They told me the band would get thicker because they would be bringing the thicker sides in. I left it with them for a week, as I don't live in Columbus . I was so happy to get it back and didn't really notice until about half an hour later: my ring hurt to wear. I took it off and looked at it and I was devastated. You could feel where they cut the shank, it was wavy, the was no uniformity to the edges, and it was oblong. I called and they apologized profusely. Asked me to take it to the store in Cleveland and they would let that store know we were coming. They did not. The store in Cleveland had no idea I was coming. Turns out, I paid the store in Columbus for the honor of someone ruining my ring. It lost nearly half a mm in depth and thickness. The store in Cleveland did the best they could. They would have had to order shanks and tried to color match the rose gold but it could have ended worse than before. Turns out the Columbus store didn't even resize it correctly and left it a quarter of a size too big. So unless you want your jewelry ruined, take it anywhere else. We were going to purchase an engagement ring from this company, but I'll take my business to alibaba before here. The store manager did refund my 125 resizing fee, or the fee I paid them to take gold out of my ring and leave me with something I couldn't wear. He told me it was weird that it ended up thinner than before because "taking a ring in shouldnt do that". My ring was 2.5mm wide and 1.9mm depth before the Cleveland. Actually fixed it. My question is this: where is the material they took out of my ring and why was I not compensated for that when they trashed my ring? My ring will never be the same. Go anywhere else.

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!

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.

She wanted to have the stone turned sideways so the stone would run parallel with the gold setting. I thought that sounded really weird, but, it is what she wanted.

My wife had some questions and suggestions for the setting, which Randy incorporated into the design. When we went to go see the ring, we were stunned! It was better than I could have imagined ... and I originally thought the idea was stupid. I was blown away by how BEAUTIFUL it was! Randy also gave us great advice on how to best care for the ring and the diamonds. It was a great experience! I would NEVER hesitate to let Randy DESIGN ANYTHING FOR US.
