    It seems like no facet of commerce has gone untouched by mega-conglomeration and the negatives that…read morecome along with that, including jewelers. You'd have to shove me into a Jared, and Zales screams cheese to me. Thankfully, there are places that epitomize humble class--to me, the mark of a fine everyperson's jeweler--like Briman's. Though Briman's recently maintained two locations, including a mall storefront, they've consolidated to a downtown location, which was wise--in addition to removing themselves from that nasty context, they're showing support for Topeka's downtown and defining a respectable old-fashioned business ethos. As a newbie jewelry customer, I had no hesitation asking questions, browsing, or inquiring as to services they offer. Though I did not buy my engagement ring at Briman's (opting for something vintage), I brought it there to be sized, confident that they would treat me and the ring with respect and attention. And of course they did. They were complimentary of my purchase, honest with their estimate, and quick with the work. Though we live in Lawrence, I'll encourage my new fiancé to head to Topeka for cleanings, repairs, and future shopping.

    My parents have trusted Briman's for years. Now that I am a T-town resident, it's where I go for…read moreservice on my rings. Last visit, I asked for an appraisal on these old things. (Mom trusts them with her rocks - so I do too). I was pleased with the turn around time and professional repairs on lose prongs. I will not hesitate to bring my rings back. Thanks!! PS: Too bad the Downtown Topeka Parking Patrol makes shopping downtown difficult! I went to the bank, a shop, and this store. Went 8 minutes over my parking meter...and got a parking ticket as a "thanks" for spending money downtown and looking in shops for things to buy from our local merchants.

    My wife and I came here when we first started looking at engagement rings. Erica helped us get…read moreproperly sized and explore our styles. When we were ready to buy, staff helped us pick out and modify a ring to be the perfect fit. When we came back to purchase wedding bands, Erica helped design a custom wedding band for me and helped us pick out a lovely band for my wife. Throughout the whole process all of the Kizer Cummings staff have been so incredible to work with and I would absolutely recommend them for any jewelry needs!

    After shopping around at a few different jewelers on Mass St. we decided to go with KCJ for so many…read morereasons. We worked with Erica for both our engagement ring and wedding bands. From the beginning Erica was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. We decided to design my wedding band and Erica was able to provide endless detail and information on which diamonds may be best for us. She presented multiple options for us to be able to make an informed decision. Throughout the design process she printed a 3D model of the ring so we could better visualize what it would look like. While we were in the production stage she kept us up to date on the timeline and ensured all of our questions were answered. The final result was absolutely gorgeous and solidified for us that we would go back to design our wedding bands. We had a very similar experience with our band creation. Erica provided mockups of what the hand engraving would look like so we could better visualize the process. The end result of our bands was even better than we could imagine. Every experience we have had at KCJ has been outstanding. From the high level of customer service to the quick turnarounds with no impact on the end quality, we just could not be more thrilled. We will continue to go there for years to come.

    When my dad's 30-year-old wallet finally gave out, I searched everywhere for a replacement but…read morewallets like my dad's just don't seem to be made anymore. While searching online for a solution, I got lucky and discovered Mingus Leather Studio, LLC. I reached out to Doug Mingus, explained the unique style my dad preferred, and without hesitation, he offered to recreate it. What he delivered was absolute perfection -- soft, high-quality leather and flawless craftsmanship. Even weeks later, my dad was still impressed. When he had trouble removing cards from the slots, I contacted Mr. Mingus again, unsure if anything could be done. He responded immediately and happily made the adjustment. That kind of customer service is rare. On top of all that, the pricing was incredibly fair and reasonable, especially for a custom piece made with such care and quality. Doug was fantastic to work with from start to finish. If you're looking for custom leatherwork that's both beautiful and built to last, I highly recommend Mingus Leather Studio, LLC!

    If you are looking for quality leather products, at a fair price and customer service that is…read moreamazing, go see Doug at Mingus Leather Studio downtown Topeka! I had been looking for the 'perfect for me' bag for over a year and really wanted to support small business. I walked into his shop after work one day and showed him a photo of one I had found online. He had some similar but not close enough to what I was looking for. He told me he'd check with his sources and get back to me. Within a week, he messaged me with pics of exactly what I was looking for. I had a lot of questions about where it was made, how it was made, etc and he happily and timely answered all of them. He even ordered a couple in so I could 'see' it before I purchased it. After seeing one of the bags in person it was a definite go! He ordered in the color that I wanted and within 3 business days, let me know it was ready for pick up! Follow his page if you are out of town and if you are in Topeka, check the shop out sometime. Thanks again Doug!!

    This is not an honest business. Use extreme caution when working with the owner, Troy. I was…read moreswindled out of over $1000. Here is my experience, which I have reported to the state government and the BBB with evidence: On 5/20/25 I requested a custom order. I came in person with two items: one opal pendant that was bezel-set in sterling silver and one small 14K yellow gold pendant with three natural diamonds. I requested that the two pieces be combined into one pendant, wherein the opal would be set in the same kind of bezel setting and the diamond pendant would be soldered to the side of the bezel, all in 14K white gold. I also requested a hinging bail so the pendant could fit over a string of pearls. Troy called on 6/2 with an estimate: $175 for the hinging bail, $400 for the bezel setting, and $250 for labor, totaling $825 before taxes. I gave him the go-ahead to begin work, he did not require a deposit. The completed pendant was ready for pickup on 6/16. I was out of town, so my husband picked it up on 6/18. The total charge was $943.20. I was immediately displeased, as Troy did not make the pendant according to my requests. The setting was not a true bezel setting like the previous one in sterling silver had been. The opal had been GLUED to a strip of 14K white gold covering the sides of the opal, there was no backing to the stone. The diamonds had been added on the side in yellow instead of white gold. Additionally, the hinging bail was not wide enough to fit around pearls. I contacted Troy with my complaints via a contact form on his website on 6/19. I received a response via email requesting that we discuss on the phone. We scheduled a time to talk and Troy called on 6/21. I explained my dissatisfaction and requested that he remove the opal from the setting, return the stones and original settings to me, keep the 14K white gold that was used, and refund me for the cost of the materials, a total of $575. He initially refused this agreement, instead offering to remedy the issues and remake the pendant to my satisfaction for ZERO additional cost to me. I held firm in my desire to have the pendant unmade and materials refunded to me and he agreed. After our phone conversation concluded, I sent a follow-up email outlining this arrangement, to which I received no response. My husband dropped the pendant off at Parkville Jewelers again on 7/1. Troy was extremely upset that I was requesting the pendant be unmade and refunded, he asked for the chance to remake the pendant to my satisfaction for no extra cost, as he had offered during our last phone conversation. I considered this and wrote him another email agreeing to it. He called to confirm on 7/2. Troy gave me continued updates on the pendant's creation via text message over the course of the next several months. He sent me two photos of the completed pendant on 9/23 with no other written communication. I did not know that the remade pendant was officially ready for pickup until receiving another text on 10/21 that read "We are letting our customers with pending pick ups know that we will be closed this Saturday for a little vacation. We are open this week through Friday. Thank you!" Because I was traveling for work, I couldn't go in person to pick up the pendant until 12/12. Troy and his wife brought the completed pendant to me for inspection. It was not great, but I was glad that the experience could end, so I thanked them and turned to leave. They stopped me and demanded an extra $350 in payment. I reminded them that the agreement was for the pendant to be remade at no additional cost, but they insisted. I paid $354.49 and left. Troy consistently refused to have anything in writing, demanding that we only speak on the phone. Troy is a swindler who does not deserve your business, and his work is shoddy anyway. The final pendant that I have now does not have a hinging bail, the bezel is crooked and doesn't match the level of the face of the opal, and the prongs on the diamond setting are bent. Stay away from this business.

    Another fantastic locally owned business for you to support. They've been a long standing shop in…read morethe parkville area for over 20 years so they must be doing something right. We came here just to get a ring size and ended up buying a new ring. Not once did we feel pressured. They are just a family who wants to inform people of the best value in jewelry. We were very happy with our experience and plan on coming back.
