One day while down at the Iowa River Landing (lots of cool stuff down there if you haven't checked…read moreit out recently) I randomly decided to stop in to Diamond Leaf Jewelers and get my wedding ring cleaned. Before cleaning it Miriam checked it for loose stones and noticed that two were loose in their setting. It was a problem I had had before with the ring, but thought had been corrected by a previous jeweler. Miriam was very helpful in clearly explaining why the stones were loose and even showing me under magnification what the issue was. Though I am not from the area, I visit regularly for business, so I decided to have her do the adjustment to my ring to correct the problem. Just before the work was done she gave me another call with more detail and a few more ideas for my ring. Once we decided which route to go, the work was done within the time frame she had estimated for me (which was important since I wanted to time my ring being done with my next visit to the area). I was very pleased with the quality of work done. She made sure to let me know that she would check the ring in the future at no charge to make sure the stones remained set as intended. Throughout the entire process, from the time I first walked in the door until after I'd picked up my ring, the most impressive part of the experience was the effort and care Miriam gave to me as a customer. I felt she was very invested in making sure that I understood what my options were. She listened carefully and was understanding of what my priorities were, and she offered helpful suggestions based on the feedback I gave. My experience was a fairly simple jewelry repair, not terribly complex or expensive. If she put the amount of concern and attention to detail into something as small as my issue, I am completely confident that she would be a terrific resource for someone looking for custom jewelry or someone wanting work done on an heirloom piece.

The shop offers a nice variety and is on the moderate side as far as price. I'm 38 and there were several items I would have tried on and/or purchased if I had a reason to wear them. We browsed for awhile. There's a lot to look at. I tried on a cute floppy hat but didn't buy it at that moment. I ultimately returned to the store to buy it. I kept thinking about it, and that price was right, so I went back. The sales person working was nice enough to cut the tag off the hat for me and I wore it out of the store. Definitely stop here if you're looking for something fun and more mature. I'd say this shop is for the 30+ woman.
