    Boulder opal

    The only place to go for genuine opals. Not the cheap white opals found in most department stores. Not the cheap fake opals found online. Real opals with a wide variety of colors, prices, and sizes. They offer custom work as well. Have your dream setting commissioned. I did

    Wedding Bands

    If you are an opal lover, look no further. This place has the greatest selection. My now, husband and I had our wedding bands and my engagement ring made here. I've thought that if diamonds are a girl's best friend, she really hasn't seen any gemstones in her life. I personally love boulder opals, and chose it as the center of both designs. My husband started to like opals as much as I do and incorporated it into his ring as well. We hand picked the stones, gave a general idea of what we liked and Burton's went to town. Arlo is a talented designer, and Dave Burton has an eye and craftsmanship to get such beautiful parts of the opal. I can sit there for days staring at his collection. At first, I was concerned about trying to pick an engagement ring design where I could wear my wedding band together with it. But I just couldn't help myself. I now have decided to wear my wedding band on my left hand and my engagement ring on the right. Not only do they have such a high quality selection, This place worked within our tight deadline. They had our wedding bands done within 11 days, just in time for our wedding. I give this place my highest recommendation! Truly a gem itself!

    My daughter and I came in here while we were on vacation and found it so charming. Staff is very helpful. Prices are reasonable. Selection is impressive and they have so many unique one of a kind items. We can't wait to come back.

    Really warm and welcoming place with amazing jewelry and other items such as fossils and opals! Very kind staff who make you feel at home and overall amazing selection of beautiful things to purchase!

    So glad we stumbled upon this shop! Everyone here is so passionate about their craft-- what a delight. Came in September to get the opal in my engagement ring replaced; came back last week again to look for a center stone that is a little more hardy than an opal. (No fault on Burton's; I am stubborn and insisted on an opal even though they informed me that it was likely to crack. It did. My bad). Dave walked me through all the options for a tougher replacement stone; my husband and I were both drawn to a gorgeous light blue sapphire. We were lucky to have the stone replaced on the same day, and I honestly couldn't be happier. I miss my opal but the sparkle on this ring is incredible! I have already recommended this shop to a few people and will continue to do so. Thank you Matt & Dave for being so patient and so awesome! I love my ring(s). And your puppers!!

    I reached out on Yelp asking multiple jewelers about medium thick chains for memorial necklaces…read moresince we want something durable. Guy from Jeweler's Touch stood out in his quick responses and helpfulness. When we arrived that evening to speak to someone, Brandon was amazing. He was friendly, super patient, and explained everything. He understood how difficult it was to look for rose gold chains, especially when thicker too. I was super indecisive and he gave me all the time in the world to look through their gold book which had all kinds of designs and thickness scaled to life size so I could place my pendant on it to imagine how it would look. He also brought out samples of chain types as I picked out ones to see if I'd like the look in person. He ended up finding an estate gold chain that looked absolutely perfect for my husband's pendant in shine and style. We tried it for a few days (they give you 30 days hassle-free) and my husband knew it wasn't the right length of style for his personal preference and our tuggy toddlers within one day. It was gorgeous and I wished it worked out, but maybe not for us. We came back a few days later after Christmas Eve and Brandon helped me out again with the return and gave me suggestions for the length of my husband's necklace based on preference. I saw people coming in and out during the two times I went and I see why. These people are amazing, patient, knowledgeable, super friendly and not pushy at all. They want to help make happy customers who are looking for that perfect jewelry. Although we are still on the search for the "perfect" chain for each of us (we are not major jewelry people but need this to be just right for us in every way), I appreciate the help that Jeweler's Touch gave and would recommend them for anyone looking for a custom piece or specific jewelry services.

While Mary does a fantastic job taking care of my wife Priscilla's jewelry needs, I'm glad to say I've officially found "my guy" for my side of things. What I appreciated most was Eric's willingness to help me look toward the future. My daughters are still in their teens, but I've started investing now in high-quality rings and men's bracelets for my future sons-in-law and daughter-in-law. I want to ensure these legacy pieces are secured for their major lifetime events, and I trust Eric's eye to help me find the right items as they come across his desk. If you want someone who respects your time and shares a genuine passion for fine pieces, ask for Eric.

And then she went to his friend and said out loud "I hate when people just ask and don't buy" like we are not obligated to do so, while his little friend just kept starring at us laughing. We told the assistant manager Andy about our experience and she acknowledged it, and she apologized to us. Hopefully that lady and his friend gets a verbal or something about the situation, because this is not the way to treat people who are helping to pay your salary. Hope they think about their actions, if she doesn't like working at retail she can find another job or even retire and if he doesn't like it maybe it's time to find another place as well, but stop treating people rudely.
