Thom Duma is a gem in the Mahoning Valley…read more My family recently had a big milestone in our family business, and we decided to mark the occasion with some timepieces. I met with Santino, and he took the time to learn about our tastes and let us try on several different Rolex models. When we decided what we liked, he set realistic timeframes and let us know he would call us when they became available. We got the call sooner than expected. When we picked up the watches, Santino made the whole afternoon an experience. This level of personalization doesn't happen in the big chain stores, you need to trust your local mom & pop jeweler with really going above and beyond. We have a big wedding anniversary coming up soon, and I know Thom Duma will put the same level of care for this day as well.

A diamond that has been a part of our family since the late 1930s became a strangely discolored…read moreyellow color. Took it to my local jeweler who cleaned it and seemed puzzled that it didn't get rid of the yellow. He tried to tell me diamonds can't get discolored and implied it was always that way. But it hadn't always been that way. I searched for a gemologist to look at it to see what could have happened to cause the discoloration and was led to Thom Dumas Fine Jewelry. After looking at the stone in its mounting it was taken in the back and cleaned while I waited. It came back looking clear again and as good as new! I was so thrilled! Everyone there was so pleasant and I was sent off with a wish of "Merry Christmas" and there was no charge. I am a happy girl! Thank you so much!! Feliz Navidad! :)

My husband (boyfriend at the time) went here to custom build the ring he used for our engagement…read moreand it was amazing! He (sneakily) got a picture of a ring I adored from a friend of mine and brought it in here (I promise I knew nothing about it!). Barba Fine Jewelers did an absolutely amazing job, and even educated him on how to buy a ring properly. The first two times he went in, he was shown various kinds of diamonds and quality so he would know how to shop around if he wanted to. Being the kind of guy he is, he shopped around and realized how many jewelers were trying to rip him off. BFJ went out of their way to build the ring beautifully and at a very good value. It was so good we bought my wedding band as well as my husband's wedding ring there, too. When I went in to buy the wedding band Bill, the owner even taught me a few things I didn't know about taking care of a ring (like how being in a pool with your ring makes the diamonds more likely to fall off). I cannot emphasize how patient and wonderful they were with my now husband! He knew nothing about rings before he went here (Example: he didn't know he was supposed to buy a band, too. lol) and by the time he left he was confident knowing he got a great value.

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!

Nick was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to give me the best value for my silver coins!read more

-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.
