They were so kind and made our experience so comfortable. Sometimes there were delays in when the rings or resizing were set to be finished because I'm sure they get so many. I would recommend to plan ahead if you are buying rings here and to get them resized a good few months ahead of the wedding.

From the moment I walked in, they made me feel welcome. They took their time, never rushed me, and provided incredibly helpful, insightful guidance on both repairs and design options. When I picked up the ring, I was stunned. They made it look brand new, truly even better than before. My wife was thrilled and impressed. They even cleaned my own ring without me asking. Their work was quick, meticulous, and priced very fairly compared to other jewelers. The quality of their service is rare. Amy and Jenny were extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions, which helped me get clarity on future design ideas for our family jewelry. I love that they specialize in repurposing sentimental pieces. It means so much to be able to carry part of our family history into something new. They were also incredibly kind and patient with my little girl during the visit, which made the experience even more special. Overall, this was such a lovely and inspiring experience. Diamonds Forever did a stunning job on my wife's ring, and I look forward to working with them on repurposing our family jewelry. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional craftsmanship, fair pricing, and genuinely caring service.

I had recently become engaged and had a concern with a visible 'crack' line I could see in the…read moresapphire solitaire stone in my ring. My ring came from a local but semi-big jewelry company, and I wanted to share my concern first with a local and reputable jeweler. Liz went above and beyond to take multiple steps to make sure that my concerns were heard. As someone who doesn't know that much about fine jewelry, I had complete trust in Liz's expertise and her suggestions for following up on my concern (e.g. looking up the GIA certificate number, connecting with the individual who wrote my appraisal, connecting with my original jeweler with specific guided questions). For about two months of this journey, she was alongside me during many of these steps and precautions, including connecting multiple times on the phone to make sure that I was comfortable with each step we were taking. By the end, I was satisfied with the information we cleared up, and the steps we took to confirm that the 'crack' was a natural inclusion that came with the stone before it was placed in the ring setting. Liz's thorough commitment and generosity to help me, despite me not being an official client, speaks volumes to her level of service and dedication as a local jeweler. When it was time to design our wedding bands, there was honestly no one else I had in mind after how generous Liz was with my initial concerns with my engagement ring. Liz worked with my fiance and I to design our pieces. Something that sets Liz apart is that she will be upfront with you about a piece, telling you its longevity and practicality for your daily living, while also giving her professional opinion about how it looks. We never felt pressured to get a certain piece or go a certain direction, and she worked with us to better understand what we were looking for and narrow down the final vision. In the end, we both created custom pieces with complete confidence in Presley and Co. For any future brides, this was easily one of the most enjoyable and straightforward tasks of wedding planning. We love our pieces, and I couldn't be happier.

Before I went in, I checked the spot price value for all of the gold. I also weighed it so I knew exactly. What I had. There were a few extra pieces that needed to be tested. And some of it was gold and some of it just plated. So all that did was add to the value of what I knew I had. When I asked them if they would be willing to purchase that for the spot gold price. Which was going for $68 a gram that day. They only offered $48 a gram. That is a whopping 30% that they were going to take off the top! That was absolutely ridiculous when I know that most places do not charge that much for processing to purchase gold at Spot price. That should've been more like between 5 and 10%. To charge 30% was a total rip off! Needless to say, I did not sell my gold to them nor would I. Nor would I ever go back there. I guess they just figured that I was stupid. That I didn't know the value of what I had and would just take their lowball offer. Don't go to American Gold Exchange if you want to get fair prices for selling your gold or silver jewelry.

I was recently engaged and my Fiancée surprised me with my dream ring from Collins Family Jewelers!…read more I began my hunt for my ring just about a year and a half ago. I discovered Collins from just walking around a plaza I frequented often. I actually had just walked out from a terrible experience at Daniel's just a few doors down and decided to check out Collins, not thinking anything would come from it. Boy, I am so glad I decided to walk through their doors. My first experience was with Chelsea. She was amazing in every way and I can't recommend her enough. Not only did she show me a variety of rings but she also educated me about them in a way that wasn't biased. They are family owned, have amazing prices, and great variety. I have recommended my close friends to this establishment already and can't express how glad I am to have my forever ring from Collins. My Fiancée said the process of getting my ring was smooth and easy. I will definitely recommend everyone I know to come here for years to come. Truly I have no words. Thank you so much Collins family!

They have such a warm and welcoming atmosphere -- there's so much energy in the room everytime I find myself popping by. The team is so sincerely upbeat and kind. Their craftsmanship, service, and care is outstanding -- they will take care of you like you are family, you are not just a number here. Their selection of jewelry will make you wish you just won the lottery and best of all you are truly shopping and supporting local!

He is professional and did the resize right there in front of us in about ~15 min. He is kind and educated us on how to size a ring. His shop is small and cutely designed.

There is another shop (I think it's like F &L or something like that) on the same floor. When you get to the correct floor you turn right and it's around the corner. Ask for Steve. He's amazing.
