Happened to come across this shop while looking to find a specific style of ring. Surprisingly, they had exactly what I wanted, and it was the correct size!! . Other jewelry in the shop was beautiful and reasonably priced. I was very happy with the service, their knowledge and professionalism. Not pushy to sell me something and very patient with my pickiness! I found some gifts and also bought myself a couple other pieces of unique jewelry. I am going back very soon to treat myself to a couple more pieces. I highly recommend this shop, look here first!! read more

I went to the shop last summer to sell my engagement ring. It was a one and a half carat diamond ring with two bands. I went in last week to sell some thing else and I saw my ring in the showcase. I asked for the owner if I could see my ring she was very hesitant, and she finally showed it to me because I had stated that I would like to buy it back because it's so pretty And she said that that was not my ring. She knew where it came from and it wasn't me. I told her I have plenty of pictures with my ring on and when you wear a ring for 11 years do you know what it looks like so they bought my ring for $300 and are selling it for $2000. Not a good business at all read more

We make a point of stopping there every year when we travel to DuBuque. We have purchased several items and have nothing but good to say about Jerry's. We feel the prices are fair and in line with what we would expect to pay. If someone thinks they should have received more for the item they were selling they should have tried to sell it themselves. read more

McCoy Jeweler

(9 reviews)

I had a deeply disappointing experience with McCoy Jewelers that I feel compelled to share,…read moreespecially for anyone considering them for something as costly and meaningful as an engagement or wedding ring. After reading yelp reviews, I was drawn to them based on the reviews and them being a small business and operating since 1973 I took in my late father's vintage wedding band to have it resized so I could wear it. The original size was 10.75, and they measured my finger at a small of 9.25--a reduction of 1.5 sizes. They quoted me $250 for the job, with half due upfront. The technicians were articulate and displayed skill. I trusted their expertise and left the ring in their care. When I picked up the ring, it felt uncomfortably tight. Their response was simply, "Give it a few weeks." As time went on, the ring became so tight I couldn't wear it at all. When I returned, they insisted the work was done correctly at the time and blamed my finger for supposedly changing size. They offered no solution, only excuses. I asked them to resize it to a 9.5 or 9.75 so I could wear it. The refused. When I tried to discuss my concerns, the owner dismissed me with condescending double talk, suggesting I was just a difficult customer because I hadn't worn jewelry before. I felt insulted and taken advantage of. To add insult to injury, they kept the gold removed from my ring during resizing. For a typical men's gold band, reducing by 1.5 sizes removes about 1.2 to 1.5 grams of gold--worth roughly $120 to $150 at current prices. Ethical jewelers follow the practice of returning this gold to the customer, but McCoy's did not. Instead, they kept it, likely to resell or reuse, which felt dishonest and exploitative. It's important to mention that getting engaged and dealing with expensive and meaningful jewelry for a lifetime is already a stressful time. You need to be able to trust the people you're working with. Unfortunately, McCoy Jewelers only made the process more stressful and left me with a bad taste. Eventually, I had the ring properly resized at a reputable jeweler in Chicago for $85, and now it fits perfectly every day irrespective of the time of day, the weather, or my body temperature. In summary: McCoy Jewelers overcharged, kept my gold, failed to stand by their work, and treated me poorly. I support local businesses whenever I can, but I cannot recommend this one. My experience shows that, at McCoy's, the customer is definitely not always right.
