There is not much I can say about Govind & Sons and Gopal that hasn't already been said by so many others with respect to their honesty, compassion, dedication, and genuine regard for their clients. Still, I would be severely remiss if I didn't add just one more rave review to their well-deserved credit. Before I first stepped foot into the store, I had never even seen a diamond in person or held a ring in my hand in my entire life. Gopal patiently and meticulously explained all the ways diamonds are cut and graded and appraised and let me try on many rings and not for a single moment did I ever feel pressured or that I was just a "sale" waiting to happen. He even gave me tips on how I could save money if I had monetary restraints, and how to get the best value out of a ring without sacrificing quality or accidentally overpaying by putting too much emphasis on something like "IF" being a "better" grade than "VS1," et cetera. I walked out of the store that day already impressed and grateful. When I placed a deposit on the ring, everything was smooth and pleasant. Just a few days later, I received unexpected news of personal tragedy that completely changed what the ring would mean to me. I reached out to Gopal again and simply asked whether it would be possible to add an engraving to the ring. Without knowing my personal reasons behind the request, he responded quickly and kindly and said he could engrave the ring for me as I liked, provided the message I wanted to write would fit the band. I replied then that he couldn't possibly know how much that extra effort meant to me and I appreciated it beyond words, and his response was one of pure solicitude and humanity, for which I will be forever grateful. Thank you again and again from the bottom of my heart. I would not have imagined before that a piece of jewelry could hold more cherished memories and meaning than anything else I own. read more

"Govind & Sons is the only jeweler I will ever trust again when it comes to all things fine jewelry and the celebration of life. Especially the "big question" kind. Given all the expertise, knowledge and truly executive style treatment , Gopal made me feel welcomed like old friends or family after time away, truly excited to not only care about a beautiful phase of one's life but genuinely express the same love that goes into what an engagement ring will mean for all of time. Walking in the store the weight of everything fell on me, within minutes of Gopal listening, sharing and then educating, I was at ease with not only confidence but the feeling of genuine accomplishment of getting something so special so right. He is a literal master at his craft and design and exudes pure love for what his work represents and means. Apologies for this long endorsement but you will be thankful that you stopped in for any occasion including treating oneself. You will leave wanting to invite the Gopal and amazing staff at Govind & Sons Gainesville to your wedding or next family weekend dinner. Truly thank you Gopal and G&S. read more

This place went above and beyond. I went in just to take a look at some chains they may have. Not only did I get a chain that I wanted, I ended up making a custom order for two charms for my chain. Gopal was kind and patient while working with me during the entire process. He worked with me to make a payment plan that worked within my budget. He provided detailed models and we worked together to get them exactly the way I wanted it to look. It took some time, but man, it was absolutely worth it. When they were completed I was completely shocked. Even with seeing the final version in model form. It came out exactly how i wanted them. Details and all. Solid silver, heavy and just dope as hell. I can't recommend this place enough. Gopal, his wife, and other staff members are solid people. I'm left impressed and I'll always come back to them for any jewelry needs. Please take the time to see them, it'll be worth it. You have my word. read more

I had a ring that I inherited from my grandmother who passed away last month, It is a very beautiful ring but not exactly my girlfriends style as this is more of a vintage look verses modern. But the diamond was stunning! Having no clue where to go in Gainesville I heard many great things from friends about Govind and his shop in thronebrook village. So I decided to head over there in hopes to see if I could use the diamond from my grandmothers ring in creating an engagement ring for my girlfriend...Govind was extremely helpful and gave me insight at the best way to set my grandmothers diamond that fit with my girlfriends style, I decided to go ahead and create something custom for her using the diamond, A week later...I was handed the ring of my fiancee's dreams and am now a very lucky man. Thank you for your time and attention to detail in creating a ring we will cherish for a long time to come. read more

Ok, I love this ring and Gopal is amazing! I found this jewelry store a few months before my fiancé proposed and he was more than helpful with all of the questions I had about moissanite. I was thrilled when my fiancé proposed with this ring. It is gorgeous and sparkles more than a diamond. Also, everyone just assumes it's a diamond and fawns all over it. I was married before years ago and had a diamond about a quarter carat smaller than this and I was blown away by this stone. It has completely exceeded my expectations and I can't stop staring at it. My fiancé says that Gopal answered all of his questions promptly and professionally and the ring was created quickly, even with a request to customize it. Would highly recommend Gopal at Govind and Sons! read more

Although I ultimately didn't have my anniversary ring made at this jewelry store (since a friend referred me to her jeweler and I received a great deal), I must say that my experience here was exceptional. The store offers an impressive selection of high-quality and exquisite jewelry pieces, and the staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and accommodating. Even though I didn't make a purchase, they treated me with the same level of professionalism and respect as they would have to any other customer. I would highly recommend this jewelry store to anyone in search of unique and beautifully crafted pieces that are sure to leave a lasting impression. read more

I first met Govind when I was looking for an actual jeweler capable of creating my design for my Wife's engagement ring. He was willing to listen and exceptionally talented. The ring was exactly what we wanted. He did an excellent job and his expertise in selecting stones enhanced the ring. 7 years later when her ring was stolen, he worked with the insurance company to explain the value and assisted us to create my Wife's design. Again, superb ring with brilliant stones. These guys stand behind their work and products. They are no longer just my jewelers, but friends I trust and value. Richard Wilhelm read more

I bought a custom designed platinum and sapphire ring here about five years ago. The personal care and customer service was excellent at the time that I bought it, and has remained excellent every time I've needed to bring it in for cleaning, servicing, or resizing. Recently, a crack developed in the band due to normal (hardworking) wear, and they repaired it immediately, no questions asked. Gopal Ghosh, the proprietor, is a business man with integrity, who has always honoured his word a smile and first class craftsmanship. read more

Clean sons fine jewelry is a wonderful place to find unusual Jewelry. Govind and his son,Gopal are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are most helpful if you want something not found in the shop.

Gopal was a pleasure to work with! I had a lot of questions before we made the purchase, and each questions was answered in detailed. When I receive the ring, it was beautiful, but the setting had some spots. Mentioned it to him, and he provided an excellent customer service to fix the mistake. And now my ring is perfect and I'm totally in love with it. Thank you!!! read more
