I have had exceptional experiences with Wilsons Jewelers, from start to finish. I am so impressed…read moreby the work Sam has done for me on several occasions, and I greatly appreciate his expertise.
First and foremost, Sam took the time to listen to what I wanted done and offered thoughtful guidance. He is honest to the core, in that he will suggest what to spend your money on--wisely. He does not use the unethical sales tactic of up-selling as do some other jewelry retailers. On various occasions, I had shown him pieces of jewelry that I had inherited from my relatives. After careful observation, he communicated to me what pieces were worth redesigning or resetting, and then took the time to explain every facet of each project with which I had decided to proceed.
Sam is a craftsman and has a keen eye for detail and precision, along with a vision and foresight of what the product will be upon completion. On one occasion, while coordinating a more complex project, he created an exact hard wax replica for me, along with a mathematical diagram for the stone setting, so that I would have complete comprehension of the finished work. I've dealt with many jewelers in the past, mostly on the East coast, and even the better ones rarely go to this extent. Sam takes great pride in his work and truly wants you to be happy.
In that vein, Sam's work is unique because it is tailor-made for you, so you will not likely see any copycat pieces of his work in other jewelry stores where they often sell duplicate items. Since Sam does much custom work for many of his customers, he is selective, using only the finest grade of materials in the way of metals and stones. I am confident that the pieces Sam has designed for me will last for many decades to come, which is of utmost importance because they are timeless heirlooms that not only I hold close to my heart, but will ultimately leave to my children.
Sam is a true professional and a man of integrity. The quality of his work is unsurpassed. He is wonderfully communicative and frank, and is highly knowledgeable from his many years of experience in the field. Sam keeps you posted and informed. He does the work in a very reasonable amount of time, considering the effort he puts forth with acquiring the materials needed and then constructing the particular piece. And, certainly worth mentioning, Sam remains reasonably priced in comparison to what other jewelers are charging, especially in today's market when the price of gold has significantly soared.
Sam at is a good find, actually a great find, and I am delighted that a close relative had recommended him to me. I, in turn, and without hesitation, will recommend Wilsons Jewelers to others for their jewelry needs.
