    I found myself needing to get a few rings resized and an heirloom pearl necklace restrung and I am so grateful that I walked into Giovanna's on a rainy day. Nathan took his time making sure that each ring was the perfect size (no small feat, considering two are stacked on top of each other) and I left feeling expertly cared for. So far, turnaround time has been quick, the pricing fair, and communication has been excellent -- I genuinely cannot recommend Giovanna's enough and the rings fit like a dream!

    So thrilled with working with Giovanna in getting an engagement ring! My partner really just told me what cut she wanted but nothing about the setting/band, etc. Giovanna walked me through all options and educated me on what to look for in a Diamond. Was able to put a simple but very beautiful ring together and she made the process painless and hassle free. My NOW fiancé absolutely loves her ring. I'll also add how helpful her assistant Bella was in all communication as well. Thanks ladies!

    Summary: shady under-the-table payment, they did not do an appraisal I paid for, and (worst, IMO) didn't even apologize for not doing the appraisal I went to Giovanna's for my fiance's engagement ring. I had inherited a family diamond, and paid for an engagement setting, the labor of transferring the diamond into the setting, and an appraisal of the diamond. The finished ring came out fine (to my untrained eye, at least), but there were other problems: 1. When I tried paying via credit card, I was told that their credit card reader was broken, and told to instead send a payment to the owner's personal Venmo account. The Venmo amount did not include sales tax (which had been included in the original total I was going to pay via credit card), and I was instructed to "add a random emoji to the description so it doesn't get flagged". I guess it's nice to not pay sales tax (ethics aside), but this made the place start to seem pretty sketchy. 2. When I picked up the ring, there was no mention of the appraisal that I'd paid for. When I asked about the appraisal, Giovanna told me she would do the appraisal after the proposal (which was in a few days). When I asked her why the appraisal hadn't already been done before the diamond was placed in the ring (which is what I asked for, and would have obviously made more sense), she told me that "one of her girls had looked at the diamond" (whatever that means), but that it didn't constitute an official appraisal she "needs to take a picture of the diamond". She said this very casually and without apology, as if not doing appraisals that customers pay for is no big deal. There were a few other suspect things in this conversation: - She said that, when we brought the ring back for the appraisal, she would also need to check on the ring sizing (even though we had already done a ring sizing at Giovanna's) and perform a diamond cleaning (why didn't you clean the diamond before it was in the ring, or if that costs extra, have told me then to consider paying for a cleaning?) - She suggested, multiple times, that I not come back with the ring for the appraisal(+sizing+cleaning), but rather just my fiance come back with the ring. I suspect she suggested this because she believed that my fiance by herself would be a more pliable customer than the two of us together (she mentioned showing my fiance wedding bands); in any case, it came across as manipulative. Definitely would not recommend. (Attaching a photo of my invoice to demonstrate I'm a real customer, and a screenshot of the Venmo payment to demonstrate I'm not making it up.)

    Great to work with. Decided to custom order a band for our 15 year vow renewal after losing my original wedding band of 12 years a couple years ago. Worked with Bela who patiently walked me through options as I deliberated. Good email communication. Sent my a diagram of a couple iterations until I was happy with what we settled on. Turn around time from their custom jeweler was excellent. Ring arrived in beautiful condition. Might increase the size slightly which they will do for free, plus free cleanings for life. Would definitely recommend.

    Engagement and wedding band ring.

    We've known Giovanna for 25 years, My husband bought my engagement ring With Giovanna and this month my husband upgraded my diamond. I still love my ring And I will not change it for anything else. My ring turned out looking more beautiful than ever! Pictures can't really show how beautiful really is.

    Giovanna is simply the best jeweler we've ever had for our custom-design needs. She's been a part of our lives since my husband Tony and I got engaged. She crafted personalized wedding rings for us, and she made me a set of custom kunzite gemstone earrings and a kunzite, pink sapphires & diamond pendant. I felt so special and beautiful on our wedding day. We go back to her at every major milestone anniversary for special, creative, pieces like the diamond anniversary rings & the triple-wrought diamond bracelet (pictured). Thank you Giovanna for all that you do!! Jackie

    Needed to get my engagement ring repaired/redone after another jeweler messed it up. My experience with Giovanna's was amazing. I felt very welcomed and the process was smooth. I was originally quoted twice the amount for my repair at another jeweler and they told me what I wanted was going to be difficult. I'm so happy with how my ring turned out! For the quality and price, it was so worth it!

But recently two men who were working when I visited to drop off and pick up my ring were surprisingly sloppy: in manner and in wrinkled, ill-fitting clothes. Employees of luxury jewelry stores should represent the quality of products & service in their appearance (so agreed my husband when I wondered if I was being snobby). We might consider another place to have it cleaned in future (I found online that the company and their parent company, Sterling, have had lawsuits and complaints about harassment over the decades and not compensating employees as stated). Switching however would mean if the setting, which has never had damage, does sustain damage or looses a stone, we'd lose the warranty protection. In the past the care was always consistent in getting the diamonds and interior of the setting clean but I'm now being given different information regarding whether or not I should have it cleaned in 10 minutes or leave it overnight(s). This location at least is now called Jared's [by/with?] James Allen (another Sterling brand).

My dads old cuff link and tie pin set turned into pendants and a ring for my sister and I. And them my dad's baguettes from his wedding ring - into a ring for myself with a design from help with Garo to ensure the baguettes wouldn't fall out. Each part of the decision making process I felt supported and also advised on the type of gold, what would work, why what I wanted would not work and letting me make the decision. In the end, I trusted Garo...and this ring designed to hold the memory of my dad turned out wonderful...and a lasting memory that I could wear every day. I then had my friends and my sister go to Garo - and they experienced the same - insightful, knowledgable, kind information when what you want may not be the best for you - but in the end - the diamonds won't fall out and the workmanship - amazing. It's good to feel you are in good hands with someone who has a passion for the art, the gems and you. These items were made and purchased about 4-5 years ago...and I've just come back to purchase an engagement ring. This time, instead of the help of Laura and Paul - Evan was the new consultant who helped me through the process. We met for the first time at the beginning of January to pick the stone - and then we decided on the setting with a lot of support and help from Evan. She is amazing, patient, with a lot of knowledge about the rings and stones and gold/platinum ideas. What a pleasure it was to work with her. We asked if it would be ready before Valentine's Day and I have it today. It is just gorgeous. The time, communication, and help from Evan made me feel confident that what I dreamed of would come to fruition, on time, and within our price. Everyone here has been a pleasure to work with. And I look forward to designing my wedding band. Take a moment and go into the store or make an appointment. Evan is just a gem of her own, I highly suggest you meet her and I know you'll experience the same as me.Happy designing and shopping!
