Since I couldn't find how to edit my existing review, I submit my edited and updated review here:…read more HIGHLY recommended. Walked in to this cute little jewelry store and in less than 15 minutes, I'd found the perfect engagement ring, a beautiful vintage white gold filigree and diamond, for my fiancee. Surprised (pleasantly) at the price. Spoke with Mike Anderson on that day and on future days, and the man is simply honest, straightforward, pleasant, capable and deeply knowing of his business. His fee for adjusting the ring size, also surprisingly affordable. I cannot, cannot recommend this place and this man highly enough. UPDATE: I returned a couple months later, after the above, to Mike Anderson to talk about wedding bands. He sized me, showed me different styles and fits, and we quickly got to exactly what I was looking for. Three or so days later, he called, had found a vintage ring that was exactly for me (vintage / estate, 14k white gold, comfort fit). It was sized and refitted for me, and I now have my perfect, beautiful, shining wedding band for my coming nuptials. Again, I was quite pleasantly surprised at the cost to me. Affordable! Most recently, as my fiancee and I just happened to be passing his store, we ventured in to see if Mike could perform the "hat-trick" of wordly miracles. We were in the store, total, for perhaps 45 minutes, but even before that much time had passed, he'd found her band for us. This time the band was already on site. Just having started his inventory search, and with another, older couple patiently waiting, he asked from the back of his store, "are you interested in an antique?" We enthusiastically answered Yes! He brought out the ring for her. A delicate, beautiful, decoratively engraved 18k white gold vintage band...one that matched perfectly her engagement ring. The wedding band was slightly snug on her, so he offered to have the ring stretched slightly--something I hadn't even known was possible. Since I was sensitive to price and wanted to know but did not want to discuss with fiancee present, a couple of winks between us and he understood. He offered to inquire with his jeweler / craftsman about the feasibility of the stretch, then told me he'd call me on Sunday with the result after conference with his crafter. He dutifully called me on Sunday. I missed the call. He kindly gave me the price (once again, surprisingly affordable), knew enough implicitly to leave the ring with crafter (despite not reaching me directly) and await official agreement as well my official purchase when we spoke next. This is the kind of business we are talking about. In all appearances and experience with him, honor and skill and care are all rolled into one with this Mike Anderson. Never in my life did I dare dream of such an easy, fortuitious, even providential experience in finding and procuring all three of the most vital material elements of a holy union. God bless Mike Anderson, along with much gratitude from me. He indeed performed the hat-trick.

With 4 years left on the warranty still! So I made an appointment to check it out, thinking it wasn't in that great condition and was SUPER surprised it was in much better shape than I thought. So I pulled the trigger! All in all a great experience. No haggling. A fair price. And really professional in all our communication. I couldn't ask for anything more!

I'm not a wealthy person and I strive for quality at the best price possible. Recently I lost a 2 carat natural diamond from my wedding ring. I replaced it with a fabulous, spectacular-looking lab-grown diamond after spending hours vetting stones and discussing the process with experts. I bought the stone from an online wholesaler and got an incredible deal. We're relatively new to this area, and I worked with an excellent jeweler in Lincoln City a couple of years ago. The work was outstanding but the customer service was meh. I wanted to try someplace else. My husband went to SJ to sell some gold and liked Stewart, the owner. We decided to use SJ to restructure and rebuild my ring with the new stone. Not a huge project but highly significant in my 25 year marriage. Our first meeting with Stewart was good. I liked him, he was engaging, and I hoped I could build a relationship with him as I had with the guy who did all our work when we lived in CA. Stewart told me the ring would take 4 weeks. I didn't question it. Fast forward four weeks. Stewart called me and said his jeweler had gone on vacation and it was going to take longer. Fine. No problem. Good things are worth waiting for, right? I decided to pay the bill at that time and did it electronically with Stewart directly. It was nearly a thousand dollars. Stewart told me he was personally going to pick my ring up from the jeweler, that it was done, and he'd have it ready the following Monday. We called Monday. When I spoke to the nice young woman on the phone, she told me Stewart wasn't in and she knew nothing about the ring. Hmmm. We requested a call back which came the following day. Stewart told me he had an "old, slow" jeweler and the ring wasn't done. He then said I could pick it up at his Florence store the next day by 11. Hubby called before we made the 60 mile round trip. He was told the ring was done and to come get it. We drove down at noon. We walked in and saw Stewart and his employee chatting. No one greeted us, and we waited about five minutes before anyone spoke to us. Oops. Ring is not done. Sorry! Come back in 45 minutes. I had a bunch of people coming for the holiday. To say I was on a tight schedule would be to put it mildly. Nonetheless, we went, had lunch and came back in an hour and a half. Ring was not done. No one even acknowledged our presence, and we waited while Stewart spent 20 minutes with another several customers. I was getting heated by this point. By the time we left, which was 4 hours after we were told the ring was done, I had no desire to work with Stewart again. We paid for an appraisal and I had to remind him to do it. We waited for that too. He then told me I owed him the sum I'd already paid to him, on the phone three days before. When I reminded him of that, he hesitated and then said "Oh. That was you?" Like he had no clue who I was. I hate having my time wasted in a customer service setting--in any customer service encounter, really--but particularly when I know I'll have a decent amount of business in the future and that I'm an excellent referring client. Also this was a big deal for us. Obviously not to Stewart. We had another ring resized and cleaned etc. at the same time as I dropped off my wedding ring. Although I was told the ring was ready, it was not at the Florence store when we went to pick it up with my wedding ring. It was included in the money I paid in advance. Stewart told me that he'd left it at the Newport store. Several days later I came to the Newport store (40 mile round trip) and guess what? It wasn't there either. All told, I tried to get my second ring four times before it was eventually located. Of course, I was told by the clueless salespeople that I owed 144.00 for the work. Unbelievable. I will NEVER patronize SJ Custom Jeweler's again. It's ironic that when you look at their site they claim to "LOVE" their customers. Yeah. No. I've struggled to understand the behavior, and I conclude they deal with a lot of seniors. As a rule, we can be a vulnerable demographic with more money. I hate to think a small business would exploit that.

The woman herself, Celeste, was at the shop when I stopped in and was so warm and welcoming. They have a variety of designs. I especially liked the one with a peacock design, and there was one with some leaves blowing that I was quite taken with. I also saw a beautiful one with a compass rose that was a wooden dial. There was even one with a Sasquatch! They also take commissions and you can send a photo of your pet with which they'll create a watch face. You can't get more unique than that. The watch materials may include wood, mother of pearl, abalone, and so on which makes them really just stunning. I'd love to get one of these sometime because they of course are practical but they're also a beautiful accessory and fashion statement. I was given an Apple Watch that I never actually wanted (it has a couple useful features) and can go many months without wearing or thinking about, but something like this would feel much more practical to me (if for no other reason than having to charge up a watch is just ridiculous to me). I think at some point I'll be back in person or via their website to buy one of their pieces--it's a matter of narrowing it down to which of a few designs I really want.

I had researched service 15 years ago elsewhere, and he was certainly in line, considering the passage of time. Very open guy, showed me his tools, and his methodology. Very happy with the result. Extra credit: since mine is a 14Kt gold case, he gave me the weight of the gold after taking out the movement, etc. This helps me value the watch at least on the value of the metals alone.
