Very friendly and helpful! We needed four watch batteries and he fixed my husband's watch band at no charge. Definitely will go back for any jewelry repairs. read more

Fantastic Jeweler! I had a ring my Mother passed to me, the stones were loose. Within days they had it fixed cleaned. I highly recommend Jewels by George! read more

Rick will not do unnecessary work. He suggested a ring guard for a ring that was too large so I could see which finger I preferred. He is repairing another necklace. Prices are reasonable. read more

Gee, I was reaching over with my thumb to feel the stone in my ring (I seem to do this when fidgety) the other day & no diamond was there!! I got a little heartsick! Thankfully, a day later I found it in my Westy between the front seats. Just on a lark I popped in to Jewels By George while on a bike ride. Ric took charge let me know what needed to be done & a few days later I had my 3 or 4 generation old ring back! on my finger. He told me maybe it would be wise to not wait another 31 years to "check the prongs". A pleasant experience. read more

I have used this jewelry store for 10 years and the family owners are very friendly and honest. I would highly recommend them.

Rick is a very good jeweler and a straight shooter. The shop is only open three days a week. He does very good work at a reasonable price. Highly recommend this business. He had to re-size and weld three rings together for me and I could not see any marks on the ring. He's also extremely honest. If he cannot do some fix that will jeopardize the integrity of the jewelry, he lets you know. He has amazing reviews on next-door, which is how I found him, and any time I am in the Palm Springs -Palm Desert area , I will bring my things to him. Highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend "Jewels by George". I went there based on the excellent recommendations from a local website. I thought my diamond cluster ring was missing a stone. It had a piece of dirt on the stone instead of being missing. I would never have known and I might have paid a lot of $$ to replace the stone. Instead, their honesty saved me having to buy a new diamond. They also replaced three watch batteries at a cost MUCH less than I was quoted elsewhere. A GREAT HONEST JEWELER!!! read more

This is/was a mom and pop kinda place .... Been around for a long time and Rick is the main attraction these days... whether you are purchasing .. repairing .. or consigning this is the best of the rest... honesty friendliness and an unconditional respect of you is what this small but well stocked jewelry spot is about... you cannot not leave pleased.... read more

He's the best... fixed it while I stood there... now I'm wearing it... Yeah...I'll bet he'll be amazing for you...

Amazing work! I brought in my engagement ring as it began splitting where the sizing piece was added. He took time to explain why it began splitting. He told us when to come back and he had it done and cleaned! Such an affordable price too. We'll be going back to get out other rings cleaned before our wedding. read more

I called George for a new battery in my wife's OMEGA watch and a check-up on her diamond ring. I received a very nice welcome, a new battery in the watch and a cleaning of my wife's antique diamond ring. Excellent quick and friendly service. I would highly recommend. read more

Great service, very reasonable prices and extremely high quality work. George (Rick) will even help you take pieces of old jewelry and make them into something new and more beautiful than you thought could be done! read more

The best one yet. Fast, affordable, good product knowledge, very pleasant. This is a father (George) and son (Rick) business that has been around for a long time. I had 4 watch batteries replaced. It only took about 20 minutes. Parking is at the front or back of the store. read more

Extremely knowledgeable, kind and most important, honest. I have used his service in many different ways for several years. Repairing jewelry, redesigning jewelry and currently designing a very special ring. I strongly recommend him for all of your jewelry needs. read more

Rick resized my wedding ring and cleaned a watch. Very reasonable price and great work. Old school. Honest. Rick is the bomb. Thank you, Rick! read more

Great jeweler. My husband gave me an emerald stone, so I designed a ring setting for it and Rick at Jewels by George made it for me. The ring came out much more beautiful than I had ever pictured. He is a genius. He has repaired several pieces of my jewelry. Couldn't be happier. read more

Excellent quick and quality service. I love coming to these small local businesses. I highly recommend this business for jewelry repair. They accept consignment jewelry and buy gold. read more

I came in with my fiancé to get my engagement ring sized and Rick took care of us. My ring was ready just a few days later. What we really appreciated was the time that Rick spent, showing us the stone in my ring and why and how diamonds receive the ratings they do. Very fair pricing and excellent service. It's nice to work with local professionals who are well established. read more

I wish I could be as happy as some of you are. I seem to have had an opposite experience. He apparently forgot about my orders; over and over, said he got too busy. Finally got the chain, after reminding him a couple of times. The ring, another story, almost 4 months before I got renderings, and that was after texting, calling, and his promise it would be done by mid Sept, at least. Finally got my ring on Nov 2. It looked pretty but he put a euro band on it, very uncomfortable. I showed him my wedding ring band, said I wanted it like that. He sort of did it, better than it was, but not as I showed him. I could get no where with him about the sway the stones were set. Instead of prongs so the sides and backs of stones can reflect lite, they are pronged but sitting on a flat solid back?, very odd. I said I wasn't crazy about that. He said it was better like that, but I'll do what you want, but you shouldn't do it, it won't be a solid ring, but anything you want...on and on! Argumentative and over so. He clearly did not want to do it, said he sent pics of the back and I said ok, ...no he did not. I saved everything. He started to get on his phone but couldn't find that pic because there wasn't one. I had no idea I had to design the back and said so. I just figured he's the jeweler and he'll set the stones the way all jewelers set stones! He then says they don't sparkle BC my stones aren't good. He was saying anything as an excuse at that point, getting huffy, but then saying, "what ever you want!" Im thinking, a good jeweler can make glass look good with the rite setting! It was a pretty rbut in the necklace I took it from, now just flat looking. Diamonds ok cuz it's like they're foil backed, but not necessary, odd. I realized he was not going to do anything, nor do I trust him at this point. I left, unhappy with the entire $2K experience, and came to yelp to let others know. MY BAD...BIG RED FLAG FROM THE GET-GO when he kept forgetting my order. Should have taken my things and gone somewhere else. read more

Rick is Awesome to work with, wether it's to create a piece of jewelry, put a piece of jewelry on consignment or buy a Beautiful ornate piece. George & Rick have been our family jewelers for many, many years, they are genuine people that we can trust! read more

What higher compliment can there be then a Five (5) Star rating?! How about a 10 Star Rating! We were referred to Rick Gonzalez and his family a few years ago. We needed a jeweler we could trust and we hit the jackpot with Rick. Rick is very creative and was able to put together some ideas and designs for a number of pieces of jewelry we had. He really knows jewelry from the estate side to todays modern designs. We are so very happy with everything he has made for us. Above all Rick and his family are honest and trust worthy. A rarity in todays day and age. We highly recommend Jewels By George for all of your jewelry needs from the smallest battery replacement to designs of diamond rings etc.! read more

Ric, the owner, provided unacceptable and extremely poor workmanship on a jewelry repair. He replaced a missing stone with the wrong size replacement stone, causing distortion to the gold and loose space around the other stones. He was unprofessional and did not fix the damage. I cannot recommend his services. read more

Great prices, friendly staff. Rick helped me. Best watch batteries prices in the desert, he gave me a discount on two batteries. Their normal price is 12.00 (most other places much higher). I got a better deal. read more

I decided to treat myself to some additional bling for my wedding ring... and ended up with two anniversary bands. Bought from different sources, they were both lovely and looked nice with my ring. However, they rolled around.... I took the new rings to Jewels by George to be made into a ring guard. That turned out to be an excellent choice! One week later, I picked up my new "set" and I couldn't be happier. Great service, price and quality! I highly recommend a visit to Jewels by George. I have found MY jewelry store! read more

Purchased three of the diamond initial gold pendants and could not be happier! They are incredibly beautiful and VERY VERY well made. My wife and daughters absolutely love them. Without exception, they are asked about them everytime they are worn. Rick provides exceptional customer service and is incredibly easy to deal with. Bravo JBG, well done!!! read more

I was checking online to confirm Jewels by George address, as I am recommending them to a very good friend of mine. I came upon yelp and I just had to write about my own experiences with Jewels by George. Jewels by George has been my family's Jeweler for years. In fact, my grandmother came to George, my parents and now my sisters (and sister in-law) and I continue to bring Rick our repairs and purchase those very special occasion pieces at Jewels by George. There service is exceptional. I very much trust George, his wife and now Rick with my most precious items, just as my grandmother did and my parents continue to do. We wouldn't go anywhere else. They are very fair and honest. The service is very personalized, always going above and beyond. I admire their creativity and their dedication to their quality of work. They have always welcomed us like friends and to me that is priceless. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a lifetime Jeweler. read more

I have had two rings designed and made by George. He is a master jeweler and does excellent work. Recently one of the rubies came out of my ring, and I took it back to him. He was able to pop an extra one in and checked all the prongs of both my rings. Cleaned them and charged me nothing for the service. Quick repair. Very happy with this store. read more

Fast courteous service. Small family run enterprise with a great deal of pride in workmanship and customer relations. Good quality jewelry and watch repairs. read more

Just got my battery replaced for my watch here. They were super friendly and very professional. The service was fast (less than 5 minutes) and they even offered to clean my jewelry for me. I'm very please since the first place I called had a disconnected number, the second place I went to was randomly closed, so I'm glad I finally lucked out at George's. Go here instead of the mall! read more

I had Rick take a diamond out of one engagement ring and put it into another setting. I think the diamond is the same, but the original ring was swapped for a cheaper, less gold weight ring, and gold in the other setting had been ground off making it lighter also. read more

Went in to get a ring resized. We were immediately helped and explained the process and it was ready to pick up the same week! They did an awesome job! Nice staff, and will return again to get my jewelry cleaned and for any further jewelry needs! read more

I recently took a loose diamond to have it place in a ring setting. When I returned the following day to pick up the ring the diamond they had put into my ring was not the same diamond...stay far away from this place of business. I went to this business because I was told they could be trusted by the Jewelry department at Costco in La Quinta.. Again stay far away from this business. read more

After contacting 31 jewelers in Palm Desert looking for the perfect gold wedding band, I found that Rick at Jewels by George was by far the most helpful and professional. He knows how to listen to your exact needs, and knows his stuff! I had many questions which were all answered with honesty. I just got married 2 weeks ago, thank you Rick! read more
