If you've driven by their Chatham storefront and took a look at their gorgeous shop windows…read more.. browsed In store at their beautiful jewels or awed over some of their social media posts of their luxe jewelry ... you'll already know what I'm talking about! This mother + daughter team are what dreams are made of! From the delicate jewels for everyday wear to keepsake pieces, this store has it - and personally I want it all! My dad has been buying me pieces here since I was 7 years old. To this day, there's nothing more exciting than seeing the "Sonya roe jewelry bag" under the Christmas tree! I cherish my sweet little children rings + tiny necklaces I still have from years past, and truly wear a few of their layered necklaces daily. Fun fact?! You don't need to spend a fortune to pick up some special pieces here. As I type this im wearing a choker that was around $60, some earrings that were $50. K, but I can't lie. Once a Sonya roe girl, you'll be hooked and everyone will he gifting you those more luxury pieces in no time ;) Besides the jewels, this duo is a dream to work with! Carson, is really the sweetest person on the plant and Sonya has my moms style memorized! If I ever need anything, even last minute these ladies will not only go above and beyond to offer me a plethora of options within my desired budget, send me over options via social media (I'm international), and have everything all wrapped up, ready to go in the most perfect little packaging. - - - basically if you're looking for a custom jeweler, that will create a lifetime relationship with you and your entire family, or just in search of quick gift options for the holidays. THIS IS IT! You've found it :) Do yourself a favor, stop by, browse, follow them on social for inspiration, attend an in store event, and most importantly treat your self to a new piece of jewelry! You deserve it! Thanks Sonya & Carson for continuous filling up my jewelry box for the past 23 years.

We visited James O. Poag Jewellers earlier this spring to design our rings!…read more ...yes, THOSE rings! To be clear: no proposal yet! We both have family diamonds, and have discussed for years that it would be a wonderful idea to combine them and create the perfect custom engagement ring that also symbolizes our families coming together... awwwwwww... so now the time has come... :) Our appointment was with Mr. James O. Poag himself, and he was absolutely brilliant. It's his family business. He made us feel comfortable instantly, and spent about an hour with us as we did the whole design decision. We never for a moment felt rushed or pressure in any way. He was a very good listener to what we wanted, and was informative, upfront, funny and creative. It was an absolutely perfect experience! They even let our small dog come in (in a purse) so she didn't have to wait in the car alone the whole time (we drove in from Toronto). Just love that. We received a rendering of the ring designs within 2-3 weeks of our appointment. SO COOL! I am sharing those renderings so you know more about the custom design process - I had no idea! It makes it all that more exciting! The shop itself is in Strathroy, a quaint little town in southwestern Ontario. It is seriously adorable, which adds to the romance of the occasion for sure! Its interior is clean, the fantastic staff are informed, attentive and clearly interested in their careers in jewellery. I love passion. One of the reasons we loved this place when first deciding on where to go was that they do fingerprint engraving jewellery (http://www.poags.com/dimples.cfm), though we didn't end up choosing rings that suited this technique. We'll be back to create more custom work though! A second reason is that they buy gold. We brought in some old jewellery box finds to sell (didn't seem like much) and turns out we stared with an $850+ credit! Yay for the current gold market (and yay again for Poag's)! No wonder there are so many gold buyer commercials! Third: My in-laws-to-be gave us a $500 gift certificate here after researching area custom designers/gemologists/jewellers. Thank you, Macphees! Now that we have signed off on the design for all three rings (engagement, 2 x wedding bands), I have stepped out of the equation. I do know the rings were ready six weeks after our appointment (that milestone has passed), but I don't know when/where/how the proposal will happen! FUN! Will of course update this review at the next step of the journey! :) To summarize: So far, so good with our custom ring designs using family diamonds + one we purchased there! I have been extremely impressed and absolutely satisfied with every aspect of this business throughout the process. It came very highly recommended, and now I wouldn't hesitate to join the chorus. GO HERE!

Let me say I was not disappointed at all!!! Jeff was amazing and is so talented! He kept me informed through the whole process of my ring being made with emails. I just picked my ring up and I am thrilled!!!! It turned out better than I could have wished for! The service and talent is well worth the visit no matter how far you need to travel! Poag's has my forever business just like my parents! Thank you so much Jeff for my one of a kind new purpose ring that I love!

About 15 minutes passed and the technician told me my watch was ready. She told me "NO CHARGE! ... because you had to wait." NO CHARGE!!! You can bet that is MY STORE from now on.
