I had an excellent experience having them resize my ring. I was turned away by several jewelers in the area because the ring I needed resized contains a lab grown diamond and apparently most places won't touch them unless you bought it there. I called ahead to ask Grant Laughter and he said "if you love it, we love it. We can absolutely do that for you." I was greeted and assisted by the owner himself who thoroughly went over my options and helped me choose a plan for resizing. I paid under $100 and had my ring back within three weeks. It turned out perfectly. These guys are fantastic. read more

I was greeted warmly at the door into a brightly lighted room with showcases of jewelry for sale. I had brought a tray full of estate jewelry to sell. Kat, the buyer, took her time inspecting each item, and, as she did, she explained their value and stated the amount she was prepared to give me for that piece. I thought her offers were honest and fair, so I sold all of the items to her as the representative of the company. I would return there in a heartbeat if I ever again have jewelry to sell. read more

Great staff (Bebe and Shahzaib) were fantastic. Bebe helped pick out my ring and Shahzaib set us up with hers. Selection and various price points were just right, every price range was available to us. Fantastic place to do business. read more

Grant Laughter Jewelry - Both rings are from this store - Jewelry Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Brought in my favorite Eco Drive watch that had recently stopped working. They said it probably needed a new capacitor (rechargeable battery). I paid upfront for the capacitor and cleaning. They later called and said they installed the battery and the watch still doesn't work. They didn't know why. They offered to dispose of it for me. Gee thanks. I paid $160 and I get a paper weight that looks like a watch. There was no offer to refund any of the payment. Sorry Charlie. read more

i took my 190 grams of heirloom 14 karat gold to sell and didn't even get 35%. reputable jewelers give 70%. they ripped me off

I'm very thankful for Laughter jewelry! I moved to Asheville from Florida in 2020 and all of my silver and gold jewelry was a mess. All of my watches needed batteries. They restored everything back to beautiful and were wonderful to work with. I enjoyed going into the store and browsing through the gorgeous diamonds. Very impressed read more

When we were at a gas station a pin fell out of my husband's Tag Heuer watch and it fell to the ground. We searched for best jewelry repair near us & Grant Laughter Jewelry came up. We were so impressed with how nice they were and how quickly they repaired the watch. Great, professional, & personable team at Grant Laughter Jewelry. We live in Charlotte but would drive to Asheville for our next jewelry purchase due to the great service (& inventory) they have! read more

They were so sweet here. I had a piece of jewelry that needed a part added to it. Even though they didn't have the piece they measured the part of my bracelet that needed it so I could order the correct link. I appreciate that they took that time for me. read more

Everyone on staff is super friendly and helpful! I took my engagement ring in to get resized and it fits perfectly now :) they also cleaned it and made it super shiny and beautiful. My fiancé came with me to pick it up and they offered to size his finger and let us look at some bands for him. Thank you for the lovely experience! :) read more

This was my first time ever going to Grant Laughter. Won't go back for deceitful practices. I took a ring to be downsized there and quoted me $95 dollars for the downsizing. Then the lady said, that if I wasn't in a rush that she can give me a discount. Discount came back to almost $30 off. My husband wanted the gold that was going to be taken out from the downsizing returned. I called the next day and asked if we would get the gold back and one of the guys called me back say that with giving the gold back the price would be $125. I was livid! The deceitful practice of not communicating upfront with what would happen to the gold and disguising the kept gold as a discount is not a good business practice. I asked for my ring back and a refund of the money I paid to start the process of the sizing. They did refund my money which I am grateful for but offered nothing for the broken trust of a first time customer. Be aware when they offer discounts or sized rings or anything that removes any gold from your jewelry. read more

Grant Laughter Jewelry is an excellent shop for all of the services they provide. If you are looking to purchase a new piece, in need of jewelry repair, or considering selling some of your own jewelry, I can highly recommend this place. I recently brought a batch of estate jewelry to be evaluated by Grant for selling, and what could have been a difficult experience, was actually enjoyable. I have found Grant, as well as everyone in this shop, to have exceptional expertise and to be equally kind, fair and trustworthy. Their jewelry repair work is amazing too. read more

I received stellar service for: watch repairs, and replacing a watch battery. My watches were packaged in a nice cloth pouch when I picked them up. I'm not much of the jewelry type, but I could tell the pieces on display were all first class. For that special occasion and/or surprise purchase for a loved one, John Laughter would be a great spot to find that hidden jewel or sentimental treasure. read more

My experience is with the owner. He was so kind, knowledgeable and fair. He goes beyond expectations to be helpful. I was selling a few rings and was happy with his offer. He even polished up a vintage piece and gave me ideas on how to list it on eBay. It was a fun and interesting time. I can tell he loves what he does which translates into great service! read more

I came here to get a ring resized, and I needed a pretty quick turnaround. Everyone at John Laughter was really friendly, professional, and quick to respond. They had my ring ready a day early, and it looked and fit beautifully. I highly recommend! read more

We went in to replace watch batteries and remove links from a watch. Staff is very friendly and helpful. One watch had corrosion so they were not sure it would continue to work with a new battery and did not charge me. We went back a few days later to tell them it was still working and to pay for the battery and they said no charge - where can you find that kind of service in today's world! While there my husband saw the comfort fit wedding bands (his is over 40 years old and way to large and sharp edges) they were very helpful showing the differences in bands and ordered him one and it arrived less than a week later. I highly recommend their store, helpful, friendly, straight forward. read more

Very patient and willing to work with you, and respect your price range. Jimmy was very accommodating in the way of getting in a variety of stones for me to choose from. I brought them a vintage Bulova from my grandmother that had died and they removed the stone and created what to me is an art deco flavored piece that reflects me. Thank you all. read more
