-The Crown Jewel Of Jewelry Stores-…read more This family owned jewelry store has it all. From a clean environment, a wide selection of jewelry, and a hospitable staff. You can tell that the employees here are passionate about their job and are more than willing to help you find a piece of jewelry that suites your needs. I came in here looking to buy an engagement ring for my now fiance. Like many young men, I had no idea what I was doing, but was quickly attended to by Donny Basch. He walked me through some of their display rings and was happy to answer any question (big or small) that I had. After a few moments browsing the selection, I inquired about getting a ring designed, as I had a few odd requests for the diamond and ring style. He then told me that they are able to make custom rings, designed to my fiance's tastes. After I had let him know a brief summary of what I was looking for, he told me that he would get back to me with some examples and we could refine the ring to be exactly what I wanted. Over the next several weeks, we spoke back and forth in order to finalize what I wanted. I did a final check-in with him in order to ensure that I'd receive the exact ring that I was picturing (a slightly obscure styled ring with a coffin cut, black diamond). Donny let me know a time that would be suitable to come in and get the ring, and when I arrived, it was ready and exactly what I had wanted. As for the payment, he stuck to the budget I had given him, so there was no surprises when it came to price. He even threw in a bottle of champagne for celebration. I had planned to get a black ring box, but Don Basch only had white and brown ring boxes, so he looked up a nearby store and gave me the SKU of a black ring box (something that he didn't need to do, but was much appreciated). This business has amazing customer service. I never felt pressured into something I couldn't pay for, or rushed through any process. The staff offered me something to drink during every visit. I honestly cannot say any bad things about the entire experience I had at Don Basch Jewelers. I highly recommend that you head to this location if you're looking for a ring, bracelet, necklace, watch, or anything else.

TLDR: Do not trust them for watch repair!…read more A watch that my wife bought for me stopped working, so I brought it here for a battery change. They tried to change the battery, but the watch still wouldn't work... they told me that the watch was "totaled" and beyond repair. They were the only people to have ever opened the back of this watch. I took it up to Chester's in Parma, and he immediately asked if someone else had worked on the watch before. He showed me that "whoever" tried to change the battery had ripped out a few components, actually showing me what the missing pieces were... Don Basch broke my watch, then claimed it was unfixable. Chester fixed my watch same-day, it's working again! Not giving 1 star because the storefront is nice and clean, people are friendly, and they did a good job cleaning my wife's wedding ring.

This is an unusual place to review. I come here because this it probably the best jewelry repair…read moreshop in the city. Finding a good jeweler is hard enough, but at G & S they are honest and they can create anything. I have had several rings repaired, sized, re-mounted through the years. The craftsmanship is impeccable. They have the ability to create anything you desire, just bring in a picture. The pricing is also very fair. I recently had a ring sized for about $20 while I waited. What's better than that? The interior is not show stopper. It's a plain place in a strip mall that perpetually smell like cigarette's. The staff are also the jeweler's. I believe they are from Hungary. They do speak with accents, but they understand English well. They will understand what you desire. Overall, I would encourage anyone who is in need of jewelry creation or repair to check out G & S. They are truly artisans of a lost era. We need more people with this skill set.

I was given my great grandmother's ring for Christmas last year which needed to be resized and a…read morerepair made to it. The first place I went didn't do platinum repairs and sent me here instead. After telling them what I was asking for, they mentioned that there had been work done on it before, and showed me additional minor damages and suggested we fixed that as well and add some additional crosses to make the ring fit more with what the envisioned the original design being. After they told me what that would cost, I said I couldn't afford it at the time. Instead, they told me they would resize it and make it nice for a lower price, which implied fixing the first problem I had come in for. Well I got the ring back, the repair wasn't made, and the band ended up breaking after wearing it three times. I wanted to go back to make them fix it, but I didn't trust them with my family ring after what happened last time. I'm disappointed and out money that I could have used to get it resized well somewhere else.

I personally do not purchase much jewelry, but have been able to interact with Nathan and his staff for over 5 years in my professional life. Always pleasant, polite, professional. They follow up with you when they say they will. I've been meaning to give them a rating for a long time now, and the service I received over the past week has pushed me to do so. My wife has a ring that belonged to her late grandmother. Nothing crazy expensive, but of the utmost value to her. Over time, the settings had worn down and in some cases even broke off. The stone had fallen out as a result. I didn't even think twice about where to go to get the ring repaired. I dropped it off on a Friday. The following Monday I received a phone call with a price on the repair. I assumed it would take a week or so to get done, but was assured it would be complete and ready for pickup by Thursday. They beat their promise date and had it ready for pickup two days ahead of schedule. Nathan knew that I was out of town for work and wouldn't be returning until later in the week, but made it a priority to ensure a quick turnaround time. I have no doubt that he takes this kind of approach with all of his customers. I just picked up the ring a couple hours ago. I was amazed at the quality of work that was completed on it. My wife is absolutely floored right now and can't wait to wear this ring again. Thank you for everything!

Nick did a great job buying my silver coin collection worth about $20K…read more Since there were so many coins he recommended me leaving the collection with him over the weekend so he could inventory it. I went back into his shop on Monday and he explained what the coins were worth (at market rate). He was also very upfront and transparent on his fees (which ended up being around 10%). Everything seemed reasonable so I proceeded forward. He wrote me a check and kept the silver and the transaction was complete. It couldn't have been any easier. His shop was modern, clean and well organized. He was professional and polite through the entire process. In all a very positive experience and I recommend his service. Thank you Nick for making it easy and painless!

Which I can say now was extremely racist and inconsiderate. The chain I bought with me to sell passed every test that he tried but he obviously did not want to buy from me because I was a young black male. I am selling the jewelry for my nonprofit organization to keep the intercity youth off the streets. We needed money to help with minor expenses like tutoring, books and some even coats for the winter. It was by far one of the most uncomfortable, humiliating and painful experiences of my life. If you're a person of color please think twice before shopping with this establishment.

On April 4th, I went to Taylor's Jewelry as I had some fairly expensive pieces that I needed appraised, so I could make an educated decision on whether to insure them or sell them. Once I entered, only one man was visible. He said hello, but did not even bother to stand and greet me. I informed him that I required a certified geologist, at which time he called to the back, and a second person appeared. After explaining that I had several pieces, I asked if they needed me to schedule an appointment. He asked to see what I had, and I reached into my computer case a took out a 3 carat man's gold ring. He studied it with his monocle and asked what I intended to do with this piece of jewelery. I replied that I wasn't sure yet, and his attitude immediately became confrontational. We all heard horror stories of smaller jewelers low balling the value of a piece, if they think you are selling it to them! I reiterated that I just needed to know an approximate value of the piece, when he stated, "I can't tell you that until you tell me what you intend to do with it." What difference does it make, as far as what I ultimately decide to do with my belongings. The value of the piece is the value of the piece! After he insisted, for the third time, that I tell him if I was keeping it or selling, I responded, "I'm about to put my things away and leave your store!" He immediately stood up and said, THEN LEAVE! He abruptly walked back toward his office, putting distance between us, turned and said, "You're a asshole, and everyone in this city knows it" I asked him WHAT he just said, as I was shocked by his ignorance! He repeated it and continued by saying, Even your wife thinks you're an asshole. It was all i could do to keep from jumping over the counter and bitch slapping this guy, because my wife and I were as close as two people could be but unfortunately the good Lord took her from me a couple of years ago. I laughed in his face, then allowed my dago to take over. I filled his store with a barage of expletives, and finished by informing him that my wife was DEAD! He insisted that she wasn't, so I gave him the date, and told him to look it up on the internet! He entered his office, did not close the door, and once again let his ignorance show!​​ Now loud enough to be heard, he let's "f*cking dickhead" cross his lips! Well thank God there were no ladies present, as he got a 30 second dissertation as to why his store was completely empty on a busy Saturday morning. I'm 68, and am very well established in my community, and I "think" that I am well liked. I've owned my own companies since I was 23 years old, and I have NEVER treated any of my customers with this kind of disrespect. All I can hope for is that you join with me, to boycot this type of business within the City of Solon. Find it within yourselves to choose another jeweler, as this kind of attitude cannot be tolerated. We can all enter his store when he has his 70% off, going out of business sale. Thanks for taking the time to read and letting me vent!
