My wife and I met with John and she picked out a diamond and mount for her wedding ring upgrade. I…read morewas originally quoted a couple of days to complete, then it was a week when we ordered it. Two weeks later I stopped in after hearing nothing from John. Was told it was next in line to be done, and the next day it was done. We picked up the ring, but were told the appraisal was not ready. I was told to have my insurance company contact John via e-mail and he would forward the info to the insurance company so we could receive a quote and insure the ring. The insurance company never received the information it needed. Two weeks go by and I stopped in the store again and asked for the appraisal and diamond report. He said he was behind on his paperwork but to have my insurance company contact him. I said I already did that and my wife is afraid to wear the ring because we still have no insurance for it. He apologized and said he would get that appraisal done right away. That was over three weeks ago and still nothing! Frustrated with multiple requests for the appraisal and diamond report, and wanting to wrap up this already five week old transaction, we ended up paying for an appraisal from another local jeweler which was done in one day! Wouldn't you know it the appraisal was for less than we paid for the ring.But at this point whatever, we insured the ring and are putting this bad experience behind us. We have since heard of similar bad experiences with this store from others. Buyer Beware.

Well I banged said rock so hard against a shelf at Ikea that the stone loosened in the setting. Darn. I actually said a whole lot worse than darn...but I won't go there. I was so upset I cried all the way home. I actually stopped for a minute around Youngstown, but that was only because I had to go into a gas station to use the restroom. The tears resumed when I was back in the car. I just didn't know what to do. My fiancee bought the ring in his hometown of Atlanta, and when he called his jeweler they told him to just send the ring to them and they will fix it. Um, yeah right. There was no way I was sending my ring anywhere in the mail. Luckily my wonderful uncle offered to take me to his jeweler, Jim Vandemark, to have him look at the ring. And am I sure glad he did. Jim was very kind and professional. I was instantly at ease and knew my ring was in the best hands. He explained my options on how to have my ring fixed and promised me it would look like new once they were done with it. And he kept that promise. When I picked up the ring I almost cried with relief...it looks AMAZING! And I was surprised at how reasonable the repair charge was. I cannot say enough things about Vandemark. An engagement ring is the most important piece of jewelry a woman can own, and they understand that. They way they treated me earned them a customer for life. My fiance was impressed as well and we both said we will most likely return to purchase our wedding bands.

Nick did a great job buying my silver coin collection worth about $20K…read more Since there were so many coins he recommended me leaving the collection with him over the weekend so he could inventory it. I went back into his shop on Monday and he explained what the coins were worth (at market rate). He was also very upfront and transparent on his fees (which ended up being around 10%). Everything seemed reasonable so I proceeded forward. He wrote me a check and kept the silver and the transaction was complete. It couldn't have been any easier. His shop was modern, clean and well organized. He was professional and polite through the entire process. In all a very positive experience and I recommend his service. Thank you Nick for making it easy and painless!
