However his son Armen has taken over and is just as delightful. We've purchased several pieces of jewelry from them and have never been disappointed. I love the ambiance of the store; there is a small sitting room and bar that we tend to partake in when visiting. It's always a very chill atmosphere and you never feel pressured to buy anything but you most definitely will want to buy something. They even had to recently order something for my husband and it came in within 48 hours. I can't say enough about them and we will continue to use them as our jewelers!

I had a chance this morning to meet with Mr. Gary Astrein. During our meeting I could not help but notice each customer was greeted with a friendly smile and hello. There is a bottomless toy box near the entry filled with toy. When you go in please check and let me know what makes it bottomless. I did not want to interrupt a potential sale to ask. Jingle bell necklaces are prominently placed outside for shoppers walking by to select. I found this to be a nice touch for the community. Go in an tell Mr. Astrein and his staff thank you for being a positive part of downtown Birmingham. I thank you Mr. Astrein for your time today. Happy Holidays!

Charisma is waiting on me. Small show room. Rings are made to order, all displays are CZ. They have lab grown and genuine diamond and gems. Guard backs with squeeze backs for their 1 carat and above post diamond earrings. Give it a squeeze to secure them on your ears. I like the concept. They had this really pretty three emerald cut diamond ring and that would be just under $9000 with Lab grown. It would probably be two or three times more with genuine diamonds. The center cut emerald was 2 1/2 carats. Diamonds are nice to look at for sure. Never met a diamond I didn't like. Never heard from the associate about the earrings I had asked for pricing on as a follow-up, it's been over a week. Guess no further info then. :/

My fiancé and I found Wachler's jewelers after trying to work with another local jeweler who…read moreunfortunately was never open/ available for us to discuss and move Forward with our ring design and purchase. We were pleasantly surprised by the professionalism, expertise, customer service and quality of work that Buzz Wachler and his team provided to us in our search for the perfect engagement ring. I ended up drawing a custom designed ring that incorporated features of two different designer rings that I liked. Buzz was able to expertly create a wax prototype of the ring. I didn't see the actual ring until my fiancé proposed and I was absolutely floored by how accurately he brought my design to life and how stunningly beautiful the ring was. The ring design was a mix of modern and vintage styles, with an over 1 carat diamond sitting atop a cathedral style head, surrounded by a soft halo cushion and small brilliant diamonds lining the band and underneath the crown of the cathedral. I honestly cannot say enough about how impressed we and our family and friends were with the ring. It is truly one-of-a-kind craftsmanship. This ring will be a beautiful symbol of our love and a stunningly special heirloom that we look forward to passing down to our family when the time comes. Thank you so much Buzz and team for your excellent work on this ring. We look forward to working with you again soon on our wedding bands.

Don't understand these reviews! They must all, just be fake…read more Candace is my little wannabe hustler. I ordered a Rolex and she sends me texts every 6-9 months that I should be getting it, soon. She then had me come in at different times(5X) and tries to hustle me, by trying to sell me some of their jewelry that has about as much value as a fake diamond. Each time I came the hustle started with, my watch is coming and they I should buy something new for my wife. I'm there for the new Rolex. Once again? I have wasted my time and her texts continue with her bull shit and deceit. After waiting 3 years, I still have no Rolex from Lucido's and she continues to send me her BS texts. I finally tell her to get lost and she plays the blame game. Candace might look good, play the game-good, with her little gold Rolex, but she is your typical clown full of a masquerade of dishonesty and circus games. My advice? This is a clown show! They know their diamonds are worthless. Buy a 10K diamond on Monday and on Friday, the most any jeweler is gong to give you is $500. There is absolutely no resale value in diamonds. They are a scam! The reason they play games with their Rolex's. Is that certain (Superman , Batman watches) have great resale value. Walk into their doors and watch the makeup fall off, these clowns!
