Can a jewelry store feel like home? Can you always leave feeling happier with life after being there? Absolutely you can at Ackerman. My family and I were blessed to walk into Ackermans 24+ years ago and meet their newest staff member Linda. Since then we have been lucky enough to have them as our neighborhood jewelers and the only place we would trust with special pieces and special moments in our lives. I recently got engaged and my fiancé proposed with a travel ring bc he wanted to make sure I helped in the diamond selection process. After taking me someplace else that friends had suggested, we realized that experience was too special to entrust to just anyone. We went straight to Ackermans and after Linda made sure she knew what setting, style, size etc. I was looking for, my fiancé went back the next day and spent over a hour with the owner Ron making sure the got the perfect diamond for me. The customer service, the kindness and the attention to detail (and quality) is unmatched here. We have already popped back in to have the ring steamed and say hello. I can't say enough good things. If you are in the market for any piece of jewelry, need yours repairs or reset, this is where you want to go. read more

The only NYC quality jewelry store in Tampa Bay! Puts all the others to shame. Very helpful staff and many designers lines.

I came to Ackermans a couple years ago to have a necklace fixed. It was fixed quickly, but the service was awful. I planned to NEVER return. However, last week a friend of mine asked me to pick up a watch for her and I agreed. Again, the service was awful. When I walked in, I was not greeted by anyone. There were no other customers in the store. Everyone looked at me like they had never seen a black person before. There was one gentleman in particular, heavy set white male with a ponytail who kept looking at me with "disgust". Although we made eye contact several times, he didnt acknowledge me either. I will NEVER return to this store and will discourage others from giving them their business. read more

I continue to be impressed by the jewelry selection at Ackerman's. I've also had stones reset, and they do a fantastic job with repairs as well. Highly recommend! read more

Great customer service. I went in for a small repair and was very impressed with the selection and service.

Huge inventory. Wonderful service. held an item for me and sent all specs for my review / records.

Just happened to drop in to this store location for a simple bracelet link adjustment. The staff on duty were the nicest, most personable and kindest ever! We window shopped inside this store while waiting for the bracelet. Beautiful displays of gorgeous jewelry was evident! The staff engaged with us in playful conversation. The alteration was performed & the bracelet fit very well afterwards. Thank you Ackerman for allowing this birthday girl to enjoy a little bit of "friendly" banter with a staff of professionals. Your service and personal touch was greatly appreciated. Thank you. read more

Great place and wonderful Service. They are always with great customer service. The jewelry for both women and men is a great variety . read more

We love coming here and always feel well taken care of when we come in. My fiancé bought his wedding band here and we've gotten watches fixed here as well. They know the right questions to ask and made the process of buying a wedding band easy. read more

Upon my arrival I was greeted immediately. Kylie was thorough and courteous in assisting with my ring sizing.

I've been going to Ackermans for years. The staff and owners treat you like family. They stand behind their products and will stop at nothing to help you find what you are looking for. 2021 was a tough year for my family, I was diagnosed with cancer and underwent chemo and radiation. So, we decided to end the year with a new diamond and wedding set. Kyla helped us and couldn't have been any nicer. She helped us through the upgrade process, communicated with us in each step, and celebrated the delivery liked she was part of our journey. Ask for Kyla next time you go!!! read more

I have to say I went into this visit hesitant. I saw on Yelp that there was a slew of 5-star reviews and mentions that all work was done in house, and I was sold. I requested a quote for some work that I needed done, and the business replied within hours to let me know when I could stop in for an in-person consult. I have two family rings, the wedding band and the engagement ring, that have been passed down from my great-grandma and is intended for my use now that we're considering marriage more. I was very nervous to trust anyone with these pieces, as we've been burned with services locally in the past, but trusted them especially after arriving and chatting with everyone and seeing the store. I worked with Sharon, a lovely blonde woman who was very knowledgeable in old jewelry. Upon looking at each ring, she explained my options for resizing and fixing the thin bands at the bottom due to age. I was given a quote that was identical to the one received by my parents in another state, but they were told the rings would have to be fused together to be saved which was mildly disappointing when I was first told. Sharon, however, told me that she could reshank them and keep them separate without causing extra liability by keeping them apart! I was absolutely stoked. Sharon then told me a lot of history about the rings as she looked at them, from age, history of the cuts and style of the diamonds, and was able to assess the level of care put into the rings over the years. This was a really cool touch for something special, I never would have known they originated in the early 1900's! I paid in full and gave my contact information and was informed it would be ready in a few days. After I finished with that, I worked with another associate to help me find an affordable chain for my citrine Crystal and they even helped me put the chains on and used a high level of care when helping me find the right chain, and didn't give me too hard of a time when I said I often shower with the necklace on. So far, no funky discoloration so I'm pretty happy with that separate interaction as well! There was some issue with the call not coming through when it was ready on the earliest estimated date, but when I called to inquire, they were very sweet. The woman, perhaps Kayla, told me that the ring was ready and I could come in. I met again with Sharon for pickup and brought my receipt and it was a smooth process. They made sure it fit comfortably and I was happy before sending me on my way, ready to get engaged. Honestly, I couldn't say anything nicer about this experience. I was so nervous to trust anyone with these heirlooms, but they proved themselves with the high level of care used to bring my precious piece back to glory. Highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a beautiful new piece or restore one that you've loved for so long. I tried not to look around too much due to my finances, but they had some stunning pieces in the cases as well, even the birthstone jewelry was jaw dropping! Thank you so much to the staff, you're all wonderful and I look forward to seeing you again soon to reshank and fix up the wedding band soon! read more

Ackerman Jewelers did everything right! We had the pleasure of working with George, to customize a ring that would incorporate all 7 of my fiancé's families diamonds. George was thorough in looking for settings to choose from and when found, he let us have the time to choose what we as a couple loved. We came in a week later to try them on and once we made our decision, I was wearing this beautiful ring within 3 days! I couldn't be happier. Everyone loved it George!! Thank you guys! -Paige & Brett read more

Kaila is exceptional- I went to Ackermans for a sizing and to look for a second chain for my pendant so I can shorten it to wear with different necklines... instead Kayla recommended putting a link on my existing chain so I can change it as needed - This saved me the cost of a entirely new chain freeing up funds for a new bracelet. What stands out about Ackermans and Kaila is they are not only supportive pre sale... but most importantly, super responsive post sale ---willing to work with me until I'm completely satisfied with length and look!

Ackerman Jewelers made shopping for an engagement ring such a wonderful experience! Kyla was such a huge help offering advice and explaining everything that I needed to know during the process. It's so nice shopping at a family owned business when you have people like Ron going above and beyond to show how much they really care about the customer entering their store! Thank you Ackerman Jewelers!! read more

When my normal jeweler didn't have the wedding band we wanted we went into Ackerman and was very impressed. Great selection and excellent service. They had the band sized in 2 days. Just when we needed. read more

Needed a ring sized-UP, and came here. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They performed the work in house, which was important to me. Will return to Ackerman 's in future for sure. read more

We have purchased new jewelry, and had old jewelry repurposed at Ackerman Jewelers. Every time, we are completely impressed with the product and the service. Linda was so helpful in finding exactly what I was looking for in a new wedding band. She was never pushy and simply nice to work with. Same as George, who was equally as pleasant. In the past I have had a wedding band and pendant made with my heirloom stones, and other heirloom jewelry repaired. If you go to Ackerman, you will be a customer for life. read more

The best jewelers around! Full-service jewelry store that offers mini beautiful items to choose from for your loved ones or yourself!

A few months back when I thought about proposing to my girlfriend, I did some research on about five jewelry stores in the Tampa Bay Area. They all advertise like crazy and it is sort of hard to not only pick where to go, but where to start. I started at Ackerman Jewelers and everything from there on out was anything but hard. It was so easy and it ended up being the only jewelry store I visited. I walked in on a weekday morning with no intention to purchase anything. I just wanted to look around and see what was out there and explore my options. When I walked in, I was sort of intimidated by how big the place was and I just felt out of place and wanted to get it over with. Linda introduced herself to me and started asking me questions to find the best ring possible for my girlfriend. She was very personable, explained everything to me without making me feel confused, never pushed me on any product and once I told her my budget, she never showed me anything above it. I really respected that. She showed me different settings along with brands and just tons of options without being pushy. I really liked the first ring she showed me and everything after that just didn't seem as good as that one. I compared it to probably 20 rings or so and ended up putting a small amount down to hold the ring due to the fact I really liked it and it felt right. Like I said, I had no intentions of buying a ring that day, which is why I just put the small down payment down. I also did that because I knew I didn't want to go anywhere else and it would force me back to Ackerman, as I really wanted to make my purchase there. I emailed Linda a few weeks prior to me picking up the ring to have the ring appraised, cleaned and ready to go for my pickup date. I got to the store and everything was ready for me. I purchased the insurance through a third party right there on site, which was not only easy, but very convenient, simple, and very affordable. Towards the end of my visit, Thunderbug walked in to pick up some promotional items for a Lightning watch party. I was able to take a picture with him and also ring the bell that wishes good luck for my engagement (and hopefully the Lightning during their Stanley Cup run). When it's time to purchase wedding bands or anything else jewelry related, there is no doubt that I will go back to Ackerman Jewelers. Everyone I came in touch with throughout my multiple visits could not have been nicer and treated me with the utmost respect. read more

I purchased two necklaces and a pair of earings for my wife. I returned one of the necklaces late well after the 30 day return policy and gave me a credit which is consistent with their terms. Very much appreciated! Then as an added bonus, I asked Rich to look at my Rolex because it would not clasp. He looked at it for 10 seconds, adjusted the bracelet by bending it and perfect! I had taken it to Mayors two years ago and they said that I need a whole new braclet!! Ackerman is my jeweler for life. Much appreciated. John Franklin read more

My wife took several rings to Ackerman for size adjustments. She got 2 adjusted and the prices were reasonable for the services. They did good work and at a fair price. I will go back again in the near future. read more

For more than 10 years, I've tried to find a jeweler to redesign my grandfather's gold and diamond ring so that it would have a comfort-type band (the hollow space under the diamond would always cause irritation from soap and other chemicals). No jeweler would even try, for fear they might damage the diamonds in the ring. (The diamond was from my grandmother's engagement ring, circa 1930.) I tried Ackerman Jewelers. Wow! When I explained my situation at Ackermans, they were initially reluctant for all the reasons I'd heard before, but Ron Ackerman stepped in, listened, understood the sentimental value and how much I wanted to be able to actually wear the ring, not just keep it in a box. We discussed the project, and he told me he was confident his team of jewelers could do it. He quoted a very fair price for all of the work and the gold to be added. I just picked up my grandfather's ring, and I'm thrilled! Ackerman Jewelers were able to do what at least four other jewelers wouldn't even attempt, saying it was "impossible." The ring is perfect. Just what I wanted. Beyond my high expectations. Comfortable... beautiful... and still my grandfather's ring (with the gold added for comfort). Ackerman's team, and Mr. Ackerman himself, have earned a new loyal customer. Outstanding quality at a very fair price, delivered with exceptional service. It's so rare today to deal with a business that truly listens and understands what their customer wants. Ackerman's does. They have a new customer for life, and a customer who enthusiastically recommends them. Thank you! read more

I want to let everyone know in my area that if you were looking for any type of jewelry service, whether it be repair or buying new, Ackerman jewelers should be your choice. The quality is fabulous and their sales people are fantastic. I just had the most wonderful experience buying a new wedding set ...mine was worn, and the Diamonds were falling out so rather than have it repaired again, we decided to buy new. My sales associate, Linda, was fantastic. She asked me a few questions and then led me right to the set that I fell in love with. I looked at several more as my husband did not want me to pick the first one I looked at, but I went right back to that first one Linda recommended. It's almost like she was reading my personality. Kaila was fantastic as well at getting my appraisal done on my diamond that we reset in the new wedding bands. Both girls were the epitome of customer service and how it should be today. Thank you ladies for the most wonderful experience that literally brought me to 'happy' tears. read more

Really.., closed on Mondays now!!?? WTF?? Not helpful Ackerman's. Please reopen on Mondays. read more

My significant other surprised me with a beautiful ring from Ackerman Jewelers and could not stop talking about the great customer service that was displayed by two of the female representatives - Linda and Michele. I needed to get my rings sized, so we went back together. The same ladies were there! They remembered my partner and recognized me through photos! They were just as helpful and nice as originally described. We comfortably chatted about the wedding and international honeymoon. They were real excited! I had the luxury of getting to choose the band I wanted to go with the engagement ring. Ackerman Jewelers has a huge selection to choose from - almost intimidating, but all beautiful! However, the representatives relayed a wealth of knowledge and history about the diamonds and how they were made, giving a sense of backstory and explanation - making it extremely more relaxing to choose from. read more

Stop in and ask for Linda. She will take care of everything you need and is amazing at her job! So happy with our purchases there.

So I called ahead of time to see if they would do a watch band repair and put a band guard on my dad's wedding band. Spoke to Michelle and she was so nice on the phone. So I went there and was immediately greeted and directed to speak to the repair department. I spoke to George and he was very helpful. They were able to put the band guard on my dad's wedding band and fix the watch band in under 10 minutes! Cost $5 to fix the watch band and zero for the wedding band guard. What was nice about this experience is that I didn't feel like I was being pressured or coerced into making a purchase. All I did was go to get something fixed and was treated like a customer. That is rare because when you usually go to a jewelry store you are treated like an outsider or like they just don't want to talk to you at all, more like being prejudged. NOT HERE! I would definitely come back to this store to look or possibly purchase jewelry from. Thanks for making my experience great! read more

My all time favorite jeweler.... anywhere! Linda Braun and Michelle Clymer -at Ackerman Jewelers- are absolutely incredible! I mean..... INCREDIBLE!!! They uncover needs/wants and offer solutions all while creating a personal relationship with their respective clients. It is very easy to see that they truly care. To put it into perspective; I've only left ONE Yelp review.... EVER and that was for a terrible experience at a horrible restaurant. The encounter that I had with these two wonderful ladies at Ackerman drove me to spread the word. There are no gimmicks, no games, no bs, just a wonderful collection of gorgeous jewelry and superrrr patient representatives. Cherry on top- the owner of this place is ALWAYS THERE. You'd think a man with such a successful business and such amazing employees would take a friggen Saturday off... nope. He may very well have a bed in the back. Look- if you want an average experience, go to IDC (god knows they advertise their heart out) . If you want EXCELLENCE, go to Ackerman and see Linda B. and Michelle C. PS: If you go to IDC your girlfriend will probably say "no" when you pop the question. read more

I didn't know how much I needed a jeweler in Tampa until I went to Ackerman. No like seriously, you're probably thinking "I don't need a jeweler, I don't have serious jeweler needs", but you're wrong. You need Ackerman. I first went to Ackerman when my husband and I were looking for wedding rings. We didn't want anything fancy- nothing custom and we were on a tight budget- so we had gone to all the chain retailers first. But they were all so pushy, and I hated every minute. My friend recommended Ackerman, and from the minute I stepped in, I felt extremely comfortable here. They don't work on commission here, so they're not looking to pressure you into anything. But they were so FRIENDLY and HELPFUL that all I wanted to do was buy the rings from them. After I brought my husband back the next day and we negotiated some prices, we got out of there with our perfect wedding bands for cheaper than Kay or Jared or any of those places. Know that with a purchase of their rings, the warranty plan, which is an extra $100-ish everywhere else, is included. They stand behind their products. You lose a diamond, they replace it. You want it redipped in white gold, they do it. Resized? Free. Engraved? Free. Just drop it off with Dina (who is also lovely) and they handle the rest. My engagement ring was not from here, but they appraised it along with my wedding band when I had them soldered together (also free). After all the wedding stuff died down, I also brought in a necklace that needed to be restrung. Done in a few days. Seriously, I'm so happy every time I go in this store, that I'm just looking for reasons to go back. Thank you Ackerman! You made me a customer for life. read more

I am extremely happy I went to Ackerman! I was looking for a new setting for my engagement ring. I couldn't find anything I loved but was really scared to get a custom ring done because I had a bad experience with a different Jeweler 12 years ago. I had been to several Jewelers and just didn't feel comfortable with anyone. Then I went to Ackerman and meet Kaila! She was so nice and she really listened to me and really got an understanding of what I wanted. When we couldn't find exactly what I wanted, she introduced me to George to talk about making a custom ring. Together, Kaila and George were so patient with me and I could just tell that they really cared about me and my vision. There was no pressure and I just felt so comfortable the whole time. I decided to let them help me custom make my dream ring and I am just so happy that I did! The whole process was smooth and George kept me informed the whole time. I even got my ring earlier than promised! I'm obsessed with my new ring and just can't say enough about George and Kaila! Thank you George and Kaila! I love my ring and you guys are simply the best!! read more

We came in based on yelp reviews and were not disappointed. Recently engaged, I needed my ring sized down. We bought the ring elsewhere, but Ackerman Jewelers were so knowledgeable. They could tell the specifications about the ring and diamond immediately and I could tell that they were sincere and trustworthy. They did the resizing for $40 and polished it for me as well. As far as I can tell, I can't see where they adjusted it at all, the ring looks flawless! They were really quick too. They said usually it takes about a day or so to resize but since we were engaged only a few days, they had it down for us in a few hours! That was really sweet. They also have a huge selection of rings and jewelry. The saleswoman came up and was showing us different options for wedding bands and was really just trying to help us and give us options. I didn't feel pressured to buy or make any decisions that day. We will definitely come back in the future, and are considering getting our wedding bands from here. They do custom bands! Great place, the reviews don't lie. read more

Peter & Michelle were incredible! They made making one of the most important decisions in my life even more of a no-brainer. They were quick to respond, encouraging, helpful, and never pushy for a sale. They made me feel excited and proud of the ring I bought as they filled me with joy in the process! I could not have found a better jeweler, better employees, and a better ring had it not been for Ackerman! From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I recommend them to anyone and will consider them my jeweler for all my personal items moving forward; they made me a customer for life & they can do the same for you! read more

I had a great experience shopping here, I ended up purchasing an awesome diamond neckless after viewing at least 20 of them. The lady that helped me was helpful and friendly but not particularly patience considering the store was empty the whole time I was there, I felt a little rushed and pushed to purchase. Other than that I am happy with my jewelry. read more

Buying an engagement ring can be a daunting task, and actually finding a good place to purchase a ring is even more difficult. Pete was involved from the very beginning. He was patient and helped keep it a secret as my girlfriend and I were casually looking at jewelry. Once the setting was chosen I was assisted in picking out the diamond. As I hadnt planned on "popping the question" for another few months and the diamond still needed to be set, Pete took my business card, a deposit and held onto my ring and diamond. On the day I planned on proposing, I stopped by Ackerman's to pick up my ring. I was one of the few customers in the store. The entire staff was very excited that my Friday would be spent with a proposal dinner. The staff wished me luck and Pete advised he would be more than happy to assist when it came time to choose a wedding band. That was a year ago and my fiancee and I did go back to Ackerman's for our wedding bands. We were assisted this time in choosing customized rings and engraving. The service received is personally tailored and you really feel as if you are part of a family. I have never felt pressured and the staff, especially Pete, are generous with their time. As I walked out of the store the other day, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ackerman. My fiancee will need her engagement ring cleaned before the wedding (late Christmas) and he advised they would take care of us, once again. I cannot recommend Ackerman's enough. read more

I could leave a long review, but the point is this: if quality and customer service matter to you, do yourself a favor and go to Ackerman Jewelers. I needed to get my wife's wedding set resized, and the Ackerman staff treated me not only like I had purchased the set there (which I did not), but like had been a customer of theirs forever. Giovanni and Lucia (and everyone else I interacted with) were amazing. They now have a customer for life. read more

I went to Ackerman Jewelers today with my husband. We came in to resize two watches that were given to us as gifts. They were not purchased there .From the second we walked in we were treated beautifully and professionally. The woman (sad I did not get her name) was knowledgeable , professional , and kind. It's obvious they are all about good service . I am a Tampa native and that was my first time in. I will be back during the holidays . Thank you Ackerman for superb service! read more

Great jewelers, very kind- will walk you through anything you don't understand, and also are extremely courteous. Got my wife's engagement ring and wedding band here, as well as my wedding band. They always entertain me looking through the watches, which is nice. They remember your name even when you don't necessarily remember theirs- which is a great feeling. I will buy all my future pieces through Ackerman. read more
