Years ago I went to Calvins with a Kate Spade watch that needed links removed and they were happy to oblige. So I don't know the review that says that Calvins won't repair jewelry that wasn't purchased there. Last week I went in with a gemstone ring (*not* purchased from Calvins) that I wanted made into a necklace and they were happy to do it for me. I paid for the repair and a gold chain. When I went to pick it up, it was not what I asked for, but when I explained what I had actually wanted and clarified my thoughts, they fixed it for me very quickly. The woman helping me, Kathleen, was very sweet and I appreciated that she wanted to make sure I was happy before I left the store the second time. My piece wasn't a big-ticket item like their engagement rings or vintage jewelry, but they treated me with respect anyway. My request might have been less expensive at a different store (and they turned down my request to melt down another piece of mine to make a ring, because they don't do that in-house) but their customer service is top notch. read more

extremely rude and unprofessional sales staff person more concerned with her stomach than her customers, dismissive of customer's taste and ideas, taking appointment late and being rude about it, getting up and going for food in the middle of the appt. read more

Got our engagement ring here and the experience was phenomenal! The staff was extremely kind and flexible with what we wanted, we didn't feel rushed or pressured. The ring is gorgeous! read more

When my fiancé and I had first started ring shopping, we stopped by Jared's and Tiffany's. Unfortunately, these were both extremely negative experiences. At Jared's, the sales associate flat out told me that six prong rings are ugly and that she would never recommend them. After we had picked out one diamond, a different associate then tried to up sell a much more expensive one and pushed us to make a purchase the same day. She got upset when we explained we had barely started shopping and wanted to take our time to look around some more. Absolutely horrible. At Tiffany's, the sales associate scoffed at us when we explained that we wanted a lab-made diamond for ethical reasons. They tried to give us a lecture on how natural diamonds are superior and that we basically weren't worth their time. Incredibly discouraging and stressful! Coming into Calvin's was like a breath of fresh air. We met with Melissa who made us feel so comfortable. At no point did we feel pressured into buying something we would not be happy with. We even came back a second time. She was patient, professional, and responsive to all of our questions. Melissa helped us to design our own one-of-a-kind engagement ring. My fiancé took it upon himself to finalize everything without my knowledge and worked with Melissa behind the scenes to create a beautiful diamond ring for the proposal. What a special surprise! A big thank you to Melissa for making this such a positive experience for us. I'm looking forward to returning to Calvin's to keep my ring polished/maintained and also to look for my fiancé's wedding band. read more

Amanda was so great in each appointment to help us find the perfect engagement ring, and after trying a few rings that weren't my style, she helped us to design a custom ring which was even more special to do with my now fiancé. She really took her time to make sure that I would be happy with this forever piece of jewelry. She was very informative on walking us through the best kind of stone within our budget and kept us updated throughout the design process. We will probably come back for his wedding band. Highly recommend! read more

My review: I visited Calvin's to find my engagement ring and the setting and staff were very welcoming. Ashley sat with me and engaged with me about my fiancee and how we met. She was very personable and that made for a very comfortable selection process. She loved that my fiancee allowed me to select and customize my ring. Ashley was very accommodating to my fiancee who uses a wheelchair in scheduling a time to pick out my ring. I am so happy Calvin's offers lab created diamonds. I love my ring because it reflects my values of innovation, creativity, and respect to the planet and humanity. We highly recommend Ashley at Calvin's! From my fiancee, Scott: Ashley at Calvin's was so amazing when helping me find the perfect ring for my fiancé! She walked me through the best ways of selecting everything by phone when it was difficult for me to visit the store for mobility reasons. When I did visit Calvin's; Ashley was always there and very friendly and easy to work with. We could not have done it so perfectly without Calvin's and Ashley and we will recommend them to anyone! read more

Me and My boyfriend came here to look for engagement rings, and felt very taken care of. They put a lot of care and time into crafting a once in a lifetime (hopefully) experience. It's not every day that you go engagement ring shopping! This was our first stop on our hunt for the perfect ring, and I felt in good hands to make some important decisions with Ashley! She stepped us through the process of picking a stone cut, setting, and helped us pick a diamond. I found the shop was well stocked with marvelous pieces, and am sure that with Ashley's help you can find the engagement ring of your dreams. The only reason that I give them 4 stars instead of 5 is that the rings that I was given to try on, all the stones were HUGE. I love that (who doesn't want a Disney princess worthy ring, after all?) , and I wish I had a 15k budget, but I do not. They were not as much focused on budget as shock factor. I get it. This is a business, and they are trying to make money. But I think showing 2 ct. rings at first glance, when you haven't talked budget, is a bit of an overstep. I had mentioned that I never bought jewelry before, and I think someone who has never sized a diamond before might have been caught MORE off guard with the price. There is little you can do once the stone is already on your finger and you are in love with it. Once I mentioned the stones were huge, she was more then willing to show me smaller stones. But they really did not have anything smaller that 1ct. from what I saw. Even though we did not take anything home, I felt very taken care of in this store! Ashley urged us to take our time and look at many other stores to make sure that I absolutely love the ring that I choose. I felt this was really genuine, and left with a rig size, and a mush better Idea of what I wanted for my ring. Overall, I had a great experience, and would recommend Calvin's to anyone looking for that special ring! read more

The experience of shopping for jewelry at Calvin's exceeded my expectations. Their jewelry designs are breathtaking and memorable - definitely unlike the pieces at big box jewelry stores that all look the same. The team at Calvin's is knowledgeable, kind and not at ALL pushy. We had a blast picking out a dream piece of jewelry with Kathy and we will definitely be back for purchases in the future. At Calvin's, it felt like we were family friends. We felt right at home. Also, the prices were unbeatable - from diamonds to jewelry, we were amazed with the value and quality of it all. You definitely need to check out Calvin's. Ask for Kathy!!! read more

I'm kind of blown away by the customer service here. I thought I wasn't goi nvm to like it since they sit down with you instead of going through display cases but it was so much better. They brought out magnet rings to try on all sorts of bands, designs and carats and our rep, Sinthia was AMAZING! Got a bunch of options to which she wrote down with details so my partner can come back and they will have all my details. There was no pressure to commit or anything. Plus the service they offer once you buy is great too! 11/10! read more

My experience with Melissa was great - you should ask for her! She was not pushy at all and really helped me find the right band for me. She had great answers to all my first time buyer questions. When the ring came in with a defect and the wedding was close, she worked to quickly get things fixed! It really helped that she could make appointments too. I cannot say enough good about my experience at Calvin's and with Melissa. read more

This place was referred to me by someone in my neighborhood. Initially while working with Ashley I was excited and impressed. I started conversing with her about merging 2 rings I had. Gave her a price range, and she kept promising to be in touch. She never reached out to me, I always had to contact her. I eventually decided I did not trust this business enough to even continue communications. Such a disappointment. read more

Calvin's Fine Jewelry - Tweet I made that no one responded to ‍ - Jewelry Near Me - Austin, Texas

When a pearl fell out of my late grandmother's 100+-year-old ring, I went to my longtime jeweler for a replacement gem. I was told the ring was too fragile to be repaired. For months I searched for a replacement ring but couldn't find anything that meant as much to me as the ring that was given to me by my beloved grandmother when I was 16 years old. One day I decided to check around and see if another Austin jeweler could repair the ring. If it's recommended to get a second medical opinion, why not do the same with a jeweler assessment? I'm so thankful that I read impressive reviews about Calvin's, dropped by, and was told the ring could be repaired. Calvin's service was impeccable and the ring has never looked better. Tears came to my eyes when I put on the restored ring that I have worn for the past 57 years. read more

I had a great experience at this store. I was looking for the perfect engagement ring for my girlfriend and Sinthia was such a big help in making this whole process easy and fun. I gave her my idea of what I was looking for and she exceeded that and more. Throughout it all she was very informative and made sure to answer all my questions. I highly recommend this place and Sinthia! read more

Friendly PSA - Calvin's doesn't do repairs on jewelry unless it was purchased there.

As we approached our 25th anniversary my husband and I both needed our wedding rings resized. His has a pattern we wanted to be sure was preserved and in addition to resizing mine I needed the setting on the diamond repaired and wanted to have a second band soldered onto it. We selected Calvin's because they are local, family owned, and have a goldsmith on site. Although they had a sign up stating an appointment was needed they said that wasn't needed for resizing and provided us with prompt customer service when we dropped off the rings. The goldsmith spoke to us both about the work to confirm everything was done to our satisfaction and recommended lowering the diamond on my ring as it was sitting too high in it's original setting. They originally indicated it could be as long as a week and a half to get the work done but they had it completed within four days. They did a great job with both rings. Mine in particular looks like a whole new ring. We couldn't be more pleased and highly recommend them. read more

My fiance chose Calvin's to find my perfect engagement ring. He proposed at the end of July and after one month of wearing the ring, I noticed it had bent to the point where it was tough to take off my finger. We went straight into Calvin's to see what is going on and what they can do to fix it, well Marc immediately blamed me saying it was clearly something I did to do this (even though I hadn't done anything that would create this type of issue and I kept telling him that) He then brought out the same band and asked my fiance to squeeze it since the platinum is so strong and it is impossible (oh just wait). That day they offered to fix it for free and the next day we picked it up and it looked good as new. FOUR days later, it started to bend again and again I did not do anything to cause this....no weight lifting like Marc insisted. Well my fiance is now pissed that clearly something is wrong with the band so he goes it again and this time he squeezes my band in front of Marc and guess what it bent so his original comment was wrong and he then claimed that he had never seen this before which could be true but the fact that he kept pushing that it was something I did instead of potentially a problem with the ring didn't sit well with me or my fiance since he should be all about customer service especially since the ring was very new and my fiance spent a lot of money on it. They offered to fix it again, but at this point why would we bother after they did it once and didn't really fix the problem clearly. My fiance asked to speak to the owner who was very helpful in getting us a refund to the band, but I did not love our experience with Marc and his lack of help and empathy toward the situation. We are now getting a band made from somewhere else, but just wanted to put our situation out there. We appreciated how the owner handled things, but will be taking our business elsewhere in the future. read more

I spent some time researching jewelry stores in the area and found myself at Calvin's after reading several good reviews and having a phone conversation with Sandy. Sandy at Calvin's was extremely helpful in the creation of this absolutely gorgeous and perfect engagement ring. I went to the store with a few pictures to show the kind of ring I was searching for and Sandy assisted me in designing exactly what I needed. She also kept me thoroughly informed throughout the design and creation process! I have already been back to Calvin's for both Christmas and Valentine's Day gifts. Another thanks to Sandy for thinking of me and reaching out to me to let me know there was other jewelry there that I may have interest in. We will definitely be returning to Calvin's for our wedding bands, as well. The customer service and attention to detail that Calvin's provides is second to none! read more

I went to Calvin's to get a custom Moissanite engagement ring made, and have nothing but praise for Calvin Jr and the entire family who helped me pop the question. Calvin Jr and his mother worked with me on the design, Calvin Sr works in the back, and even his sister greets you at the front counter on your way in! You know that you're making a solid purchase from a family who's made fine jewelry their multi-generational career. My girlfriend (now fiancée!) couldn't be happier with the result! It even appraised at a slightly higher value than the purchase price, which I felt was more than fair after comparing to other jewelers in north Austin. Throughout the process, Calvin Jr would (discreetly) text me updates and questions after our first visit, which was awesome for somebody who always shares his location. Just save his name as a college buddy and he usually starts out a new text session asking if you have a minute to chat, so even if your SO catches you reading the text you can always play it off as catching up with an old friend. We can't wait to go back for my ring and matching wedding bands!! Thank you Calvin! read more

This is long overdue, but 100% warranted! If you go anywhere in Austin to buy a ring, make your first stop Calvin's! We purchased my wife's custom engagement ring, custom wedding band and my wedding band at Calvin's and Marc and the entire Calvin's team were tremendous throughout the entire process. From start to finish, Marc was warm, friendly and engaging. He was able to work with us on our visions for each ring but also work within our budget. I did not know the first thing about ring shopping but was always cautious as I have heard horror stories about people getting "ripped off". From the moment I stepped into Calvin's I knew I was in the right place. We spent a good deal of time talking about my vision, my wife's preferences (she was not with me, but shared some examples she found online for inspiration), my budget and then he broke down every element of a diamond. Before even looking at rings, Marc took the time to get to know me which helped me to feel comfortable in asking questions and feeling good about any decision I made. We decided on a custom engagement ring and Marc was able to get the team to build a CAD design so I could approve the drawing before completing payment for the ring. My wife gets compliments every single day on her ring and Marc brought our vision to life in a way we never thought possible. Pictures don't do it justice, but we've added them to the page. When it came time for wedding bands, we knew we had to come back to Calvin's. As the engagement ring was custom, we also needed a custom wedding band to fit around it. Once again, Marc was able to provide us with a CAD design of the wedding band so we knew exactly what we would be getting. Marc and I still text from time to time as he has become a good friend and someone I have been able to trust, especially when it comes to such important pieces of jewelry. read more

Took a ring to get cleaned and checked for repairs. I had called in advance and was told they could do it, but once in store they told me they only worked on rings purchased there. Hardly a modern policy, but could have saved me a trip by correctly setting that expectation on the phone call. read more

INCREDIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! Ashley at Calvin's completely saved the day. My sisters fiancé had bought a ring from another company (brilliant earth) and 1 week before the proposal they called and said the ring broke..and wouldn't be here in time? So I frantically searched Austin for a jeweler and luckily I found Calvin's and Ashley. She designed us an even BETTER ring and got it to us in less than a week. She updated us multiple times a day with the process, took all the stress away from us and onto herself, and just knocked it out of the park. We were blown away. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Several years ago, Calvin's replaced the setting on my wife's wedding ring. Recently, we noticed the ring had a bent prong on the setting, so we took it to Calvin's for repair.

I bought a diamond engagement ring at Calvin's in December 2021 and have been extremely happy with this store's service throughout the whole process. Melissa has helped me and been excellent. I first went to Calvin's with little knowledge about or experience shopping for jewelry, but Melissa was patient, helpful, and ultimately helped me choose a beautiful ring for a fair price. My fiancée loves it. When she needed to get the band resized, Calvin's took care of it quickly and for no additional cost. I've been a happy customer at Calvin's and we plan to go there again for our wedding bands. read more

We went to Calvin's Jewelry in December when we were looking for our engagement ring. We were greeted by Marc who was friendly, genuine and welcoming from the start. He was incredibly transparent and patient, showing us the different diamond options under our price point, and really educating us on all the diamond C's. Also, their diamonds are GIA certified, which was a must for us. We also went to other well-known jewelry stores in Austin but ended up coming back to Calvin's because of the great customer service and plethora of options. We ended up choosing a round diamond on a white gold infinity band--it is absolutely perfect and beautiful, I've already received so many compliments! Thank you Marc and Calvin's Jewelry for making our engagement ring shopping experience one for the memories! read more

My husband and I purchased our wedding rings from Calvin's Jeweler's 4yrs ago and my husband loved his ring! My ring was a special order and had to be made. When my HALO style...ring came in it wasn't quit what I wanted. No fault of the Calvin jeweler's. Us women just change our minds...a lot! It was a custom order and I felt I was stuck with it. However, 4yrs later I decided to go back to Calvin's to find something I loved. Michelle, and I went through so many rings until finally...she helped me find the PERFECT ring that I LOVED! So, I was able to get a credit towards my new ring. YEAH!!!!! Michelle, is AMAZING!!! She, listens to her clients ideas/thoughts to get a feel of what is that they want. She is a great asset and addition to Calvin's Jewelers. The service this family owned business provides is exceptional and I would highly recommend Calvin's Jewelers for anything jewelry related. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Calvin's and, specifically Michelle. My husband and I walked in without an appointment to upgrade my engagement ring. We were lucky to get Michelle. I had no idea what style I wanted and she patiently showed me all styles and helped me narrow it down to the perfect one for me! She was very informative and I did not feel any pressure at all. After our visit she was very responsive and patiently answered any and all questions. She was the perfect blend of super informative, extremely professional, and no pressure but responsive. She does not try to 'up-sell'; she finds you the best diamond within your budget. I had an amazing experience at Calvin's and plan on going to them when I put my original diamond in a pendant. read more

::A Flashback:: About a year ago, the boy asked me if I wanted to go to Calvin's. me: Oooo Calvin's. Yeah! What is it? him: It's a jewelry store. me: Oh, I like jewelry. I also like cupcakes. Mmmmmm. him: No honey, it's special jewelry. me: Oh. I was a little finicky when we first arrived, for lots of reasons. This is not my typical jewelry source: glittering precious stones, unlike the affordable, funky glass and painted ceramic ear-danglies from my favorite local artists. This is also local, but it's eyeball-gouging blindness, a shiny display of delicate items I usually do my best to avoid. My reputation of losing jewelry was established at an early age; it's my accidental motto. When we walked in, it became evident that there had already been... discussions. The diamond expert, Katherine, greeted the lovebutton like they knew each other. This was not just Saturday-morning perusing. I started sweating, which coincided nicely with Katherine's offer for a Calvin's-branded water bottle. Hallelujah. I was asked lots of questions, and my responses were essentially useless. Not too big. Not too small. Big, but little. I like that one, but not the band. I like this one, but not the shape. Shiny, but not a disco ball. Shiny, but not a disco ball. Dainty (right brain), but geometric (left brain). And above all: no stinking face-slicing prongs. This clearly wasn't the first time a shell-shocked potential fiance had blabbered through big gulps of water. But my commentary was received warmly, and I was eventually at ease. Having once received a hand-me-down fake engagement ring, I was also a little confused. You mean, you want my input on a piece of jewelry I will be wearing every day? And it matters to you that I like it? And it's not just going to be a moderately shiny piece of glass? Wow. And while I hardly remember the visit and the vague preferences I spouted, I found myself back at Calvin's recently, after... ::The Proposal:: Which is the best proposal story, and too long to post. (I tried. There are length limits) ::Last Weekend:: The ring is perfect. But it was a little too large, so I returned to Calvin's to have The Precious resized. I was not pleased about this temporary separation, but the ring kept rotating, spinning right 'round baby, right 'round at will. Having called in advance, it was estimated it would take 3 to 5 days to size it down. I had planned it so that I wouldn't leave the house, eating only popcorn and cake, waiting in darkness until The Precious was mine again. I was warmly welcomed, congratulated, and consoled during the ring hand-over. Then I went to make ill-advised shoe purchases to help soften the blow. One hour into shoe shopping, they called. Was The Precious injured in some terrible laser-jinx accident?!?! No. She was ready to be picked up. Woah! I promptly abandoned all 12 pairs of shoes and hauled it. When I pranced into Calvin's, wide-eyed and dancey, who happened to be standing at the counter with the kind salesperson but Sir Calvin himself? He placed the adjusted ring on my finger, admired his fine craftsmanship, and declared: "it is a beautiful ring." Oh yes, yes it is. He invited me to come by as often as I like for ring cleanings, which is excellent because there's a froyo place just next door. As I was telling the boy later about the experience, he stopped me towards the end. him: Wait! You got to meet Calvin? THE Calvin? me: Oh yes, he was so nice. him: I didn't even get to meet him - and I've been over there. A lot. me: Yes, but I'm the girl. Everyone wants to make the girl happy. him: Of course, my love. read more

Calvin's is a local jewelry store but be ready to have more of a "high-class" experience. I made my first jewelry purchase here, an engagement ring, but I have to say I was pretty intimidated at first. The store is rather large inside with many showcases with sparkling jewelries. There's always a security guard at the door. Everyone is nicely dressed and as a graduate student with a limited budget, I felt out of place. However, my overall experience was a positive one. I was helped by Jackie (Calvin's wife) all the way through and she stepped me through designing a beautiful custom ring that fit my budget. Just to provide some basic context, I picked out the diamond and the band separately. Afterwards, I had the band modified to include some smaller diamonds on the side. I had exactly 2 weeks and Calvin's finished everything within a week and half, 3 days before the proposal. So let's look at each component individually. DIAMONDS: Having done my research and learning from friends and professionals, I had a pretty good sense of how diamond purchasing worked. I was looking for a smaller diamond but definitely GIA certified. I probably could have gotten a diamond at a cheaper price online but I felt uneasy with that process. But in terms of buying a diamond locally in the Austin area, I can confidently say that Calvin's will offer you the best prices. Trust me, I've looked around and compared. This is assuming you know the specs of the diamond you're looking for. I actually chose a diamond on my first visit and changed it later to a smaller one with better specs. Jackie was very patient with me while handling these changes. BANDS: Calvin's has a good selection of bands, include many designer brands, but they are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. I knew I wanted a platinum band but the bands here are about 30~50% more expansive than other local stores, even on the plain ones. Because of my budget constraint, I chose a simpler (but unique) band and customized the sides to include some smaller diamonds. In total, it cost a little less than a pre-made band. If I wasn't on a time crunch, I would have bought the band elsewhere. I even took my fiance (now wife) back here to look for wedding bands after the proposal but once again, they were just way out of our budget. Overall, Calvin's is definitely one of the top jewelry stores in Austin, hands down. That's why I decided to purchase the engagement ring here after all my research. But just be ready to spend a little more than other local jewelers (but not anywhere close to other "well-known" stores such as Tiffany Co. and Jared). Jackie was also very patient and not pushy throughout the entire process. In the end, the ring came out nicely and it was also appraised at a much higher price than what I paid for (mostly b/c of the diamond). Knocked off 1 star due to the price. Lastly, if you're planning to propose discretely, you might want to buy a smaller ring box yourself. The ring box that came with the ring purchase was huge and impossible to hide! read more

We just moved to Austin in August and in September, we got engaged. My fiance had gone through his family's jeweler in Atlanta for my engagement ring but it was way too big for me. When we got back home to Austin, I knew I needed to get it resized immediately. However, being new to the area and not feeling comfortable leaving an incredibly special thing of mine in the hands of someone I didn't know - I was nervous as I looked around for someone to do the job mostly because I knew I would have to leave it for a little while. I had emailed with Alexandra about my situation in hopes that Calvin's could help me - she spoke with Calvin for me and told me if I took it in and he felt comfortable resizing it, it could probably get done within a day. This morning I walked in and was greeted by Sinthia who helped get me sized and communicated with me throughout the day via text while I was at work. I was pleased that they took care of the resize in a matter of hours. It was so nice of them to take care of me the way they did even though my ring wasn't purchased from them. Definitely found my trusted jeweler in Austin. Thank you so much! read more

My soon-to-be SIL helped my fiancé pick out the most gorgeous emerald solitaire ring at Calvin's and I absolutely love it. We took it in for a little tweaking a week after he gave it to me (we live in Dallas and were in town for the weekend) and they got the work done same-day so I wouldn't have to be without my ring over the holidays. Their staff was friendly and helpful and Calvin JR was amazing throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this jeweler! read more

Marc at Calvin's was amazing to work with when we had no idea what we where even looking for. He helped us single out what we wanted. Helped us design something that we will love for the rest of our life's. I can't say thank you enough. He played a key role even in my proposal, playing the "bad guy" so I could surprise my new fiancée. Grade A customer service from the whole staff. If you are anywhere near Austin I highly recommend checking out their beautiful inventory, or if you know exactly what you want, they have the tools to design it flawlessly. read more

OK - I'm making a second new review for Calvin's because Yelp doesn't allow you to update your orig (which was 5 stars BTW) after a certain amount of time. I came here to gloat even more about the customer service here. Calvin's will bend over backwards to please you and work with you. Genuinely because they want to. Every time I come here (which is usually every couple of months at least to get my rings cleaned), they're amazing. They automatically make you feel VIP when you walk through the doors. I know Calvin's wants to make me happy. I know Calvin's always treats me like VIP for the most minor things. I know I can count on Calvin's to make all their customers feel satisfied. My most recent experience here was I went to get my engagement ring re-sized and both rings cleaned. I was told because we had to go up 1/2 a size, they probably wouldn't have it for a few days. Well, Calvin himself walks out and hears me talking about how I have a party tonight and if for sooooooome slight reason it can be ready by 4p that would be amazing. I was bummed I wouldn't have it for a few days, but I understood. I didn't make a big deal out of it at all. Anyway, so Calvin overheard me and tells me he will have it back within only 2 hours! I teared up because I was so happy w the turnaround time he was promising.I hate not having my wedding band or engagement ring. He calls me only an hour later to tell me he has my ring done. BOOM! That's how you do it folks! You don't only bend over backwards for customers IF they make a stink about something. You do it because you want to truly make the customer happy. And that's always their priority PS: I've also mentioned before they dont ever make you feel pressured to buy SOMETHING. I love that! Super important to us when jewelry shopping. read more

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience at Calvins. Ashley was our sales associate we worked with and she was so incredibly sweet, and attentive throughout this process for us. I decided to design my own ring and Ashley went above and beyond with making my vision come true. My ring is absolutely beautiful beyond words. We are so thankful for Calvins, and we loved supporting a small business in these tough times. We will definitely be back for any other jewelry needs in the future!! read more

Calvin's Fine Jewelry - Jewelry Near Me - Austin, Texas

I wish at the bottom of my heart that I could give more than 5 stars, because they deserve it. I've come here twice so far: to help my fiancé--boyfriend at the time--gain insight on which ring styles I might like and several months later to resize my ring. When looking around, we went pretty much everywhere around Austin, from high-end luxury jewelers to big chain and affordable jewelers to local Austin-based jewelers. Our last store we visited was Calvin's and I wish I came here earlier because no other store came close to the experience we had when at Calvin's. Here's what my experience was like: FIRST IMPRESSION - Calvin's has a very "home-y" feel. The nature of the store and the workers make you feel comfortable. When you walk in, workers will be ready to serve you with whatever you need. You'll be greeted with coffee, water, champagne--whatever you want! My favorite part is being greeted by a sweet dog (if you don't like dogs, you don't have to worry either, the dog mind's his own business). WORKERS - Everyone here is so extremely patient and kind. I went around in circles, not sure what kind of ring I wanted, but they seemed to know me better than myself and brought out the rings that ended up being exactly what I was looking for! Don't worry if you're walking in with no background knowledge of rings because you will be in good hands throughout every step of the way. When I asked about the 4 C's on the brochure they handed me, they even brought out a real diamond and magnifying glass for me to better inspect with. I appreciated that the workers were not pushy and offered honest opinions when necessary. I can wholeheartedly say that Calvin's goal is to make people's days better, not simply sell rings. When my fiancé picked up his ring, Calvin himself (the man who sets the diamonds) made the effort to come out and say congratulations to him. When I came in to resize my ring several months later (more info below), Calvin came out to meet me too, and to make sure I knew to never hesitate if there's anything more they can do for me! It's impossible to be in a bad mood when you're around the workers at Calvin's :) COMMUNICATION - Communication to me is one of the most important things, especially if you're getting ready to invest a lot of money on monumental moment in were life. Once we were past the "explore" phase and were ready to continue the process, Calvin's made everything as simple as possible. Throughout every step of the way, Jack (who sadly isn't here anymore) and Calvin Jr. was thorough in communicating with both me and my fiancé . I appreciated that he gave me his honest thoughts in guiding us to find the right ring for me. Both Jack and Calvin Jr. are truly kind people who cared about our special moment more than the purchasing of the ring itself. It's comforting to know that they are only a text away whenever I have a question. To me, my fiancé and I aren't customers who "went" to Calvin's. We're valued customers who go to Calvin's. They'll always be there for me and I am so thankful for them! PRICING - Since I was in the dark with this part, I can't comment thoroughly on this. But from what my fiancé said, Calvin Jr. found him the absolute best ring possible with the given budget. My fiancé was actually surprised he was able to get such an excellent ring for the price he paid. He also said that the price they offered was very competitive and that he wouldn't have been able to get such a quality ring for that price anywhere else in Austin. RESIZING AND POLISHING: Calvin's understands that the ring might not initially be the right fit. If your ring is the wrong size, your first resizing is on them! So I I came in (walk-in) to downsize my ring by half a size. I requested to see if I could pick up my ring on the same day since I had to leave town. I felt bad to ask Calvin if he could possibly squeeze me in, but he was more than happy happy to work with me. Within the hour, my ring was resized, cleaned, and polished to perfection. On top of the free resizing, they do complimentary cleaning and polishing WHENEVER you'd like. I regularly clean my engagement ring with the solution I have at home, but Calvin's makes it shine like the sun. I truly hope you decide to drive over and give Calvin's the chance because they made me feel important--they cared about my special day just as much as my own fiancé! read more

Calvin's Fine Jewelry - My engagement ring! Whether you know what you want or have no clue, Calvin's will find you a ring that is exactly what you're looking for! - Jewelry Near Me - Austin, Texas

Let me start with this - I always look to yelp reviews before I go really anywhere. I have failed to post reviews of my own but Calvin's truly deserves a compliment to where I want to sit down and write this up - Hands down the only jeweler anybody should see in Austin! Welcoming staff! No one pushes you to make a purchase or drive a sale. Just wrapped up with second purchase there - first was the engagement ring and now the wedding band for my fiancée. Calvin Jr was more than accommodating to both of us. He immediately understood our broad desire and helped narrow down options while offering much needed guidance and a second opinion. We appreciated the fact that Calvin Jr was more than willing to take as much time as it took without trying to drive a sale on any one ring, very comfortable environment! Can't say enough great things! read more

Went on a recommendation and dealt with Calvin Jr. What a great experience!! I had full confidence in what I was getting for what I paid. He explained benefits of lab grown and earth mined diamonds thouroughly. Will definitely go back for my ring and the wedding band. He was so nice and professional. Great supporting a professional family owned store also. Plenty of selection read more

Calvin Jr. is a delight to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, there's no pressure, and he offers plenty of assistance and free advice even if he knows you're not ready to buy from him. He and his father have helped us out even in a situation that another jeweler messed up with us. We look forward to the opportunity of working with him on some jewelry modifications and purchases in the future. The whole experience of being in their store is very professional and delightfully relaxing. read more

If you want a beautiful personal piece of jewelry and feel special then Calvins is your jeweler. We first worked with Calvin Sr to design my original wedding ring 20 years ago. While my wedding ring is amazing, we decided to upgrade a bit! I worked with Calvin Jr this time to design my new ring. I had so much fun working with Calvin Jr and Jackie picking out everything I wanted on the new ring. While we were designing the ring Calvin Jr was working with my husband to assist in making the actual presentation of the ring an amazing surprise. Calvin Jr was patient and really listened to what I wanted in the new ring, I couldn't have asked for a better experience in designing my breathtaking ring. I smile every time I look at it. This family business works so hard to make every jewelry buying experience extraordinary. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!! read more
