This was my first experience with Jones Bros Jewelers. I had assumed most items would be out of our…read morebudget, since I've been married nearly 20 years and don't routinely make expensive jewelry purchases beyond my wedding set. Indeed, they had many beautiful sparkly things from which I tried to avert my eyes. We have two kids going to college soon, so there goes my bling money. For Mother's Day, I had asked for a circle pendant I could have my daughters' birthdates engraved upon. I didn't think ahead to how I was going to get said item engraved, and spent a bit of time researching how to handle that. Yelp suggested they do engraving at Jones, so I ventured in for the first time. Despite being what I would consider a higher end store, I was warmly welcomed and felt comfortable there. At no point did anyone even remotely make me feel poorly for bringing in an item purchased elsewhere. That has NOT been my experience at other jewelers. I'm talking to you, Kevin Kelly. I'll never forget how he made me feel for asking him to set a stone I didn't purchase there. I'll never go there again. Hey, guess what? People buy things on the internet. Especially if their husband's nickname is Mr. Thrifty. But I digress. Jones has employed an engraver with actual graphic design experience and that made it worth the price which was admittedly a tiny bit high for engraving. I was willing to pay for Jen's advice and expertise. She expanded upon my ideas and made the piece even more personal and special. I can't say enough good things about working with her. Thank you Jen and Dan for helping bring my vision to life and finishing this special piece that I will treasure. I will definitely use you for all my engraving needs and recommend you without hesitation.

Amy seems to really love making each bride to be feel welcomed and valued. My father insisted I try to find a dress there because he was so impressed with how comfortable she made him feel out of his element. Ultimately I decided on a custom gown and can not wait to see the finished product! Each step of the way, I felt as if Amy gave me her undivided attention and worked around my schedule and needs. I will be sure to post a picture of the finished product after our big day. Thanks for being a fine example of a locally owned Peoria business that strives to make our community stronger!

Sometimes they do work for a while- although a while is less than two weeks. They are very expensive. There is not a very good choice of music for oboe- flute books do work, but they have too high of a scale. In other words, they do not have very good intermediate books. They do have a okay selection of holiday songs in the back for oboe. I did get my oboe from here, and it lasted for a good while. I'm not sure what other people with different instruments would think about Kidder. I think it depends on the instrument you play. So, overall, I find Kidder to be satisfactory but not the best. Other instruments probably think differently, though.

They have cards, kitchen items, holiday items, instruments, bags, clothes, jewelry, books, magnets, bumper car sticks, stickers, wind chimes, finger puppets, coffees, teas, chocolates and more.
