I used to visit this business when it was a store in Tri City Mall on the corner of Dobson & Broadway Rds in Mesa. Fast forward a few decades. My wedding ring really needs to be repaired as well as appraised and cleaned along with a few other items and I decide to pay this business a visit. What I got returned was a very nice surprise. I hadn't seen my wedding ring look so brilliant in quite a while. I also brought a special watch my husband gifted me about 30 years ago which has needed a new battery. Previously I had been told by another jeweler that it needed to be shipped to their manufacturers corporate office and they could only insure it for such a low amount that I opted to put the watch away. Michaels Creative Jewelry was able to replace the battery in house for a reasonable fee. I'm tickled to say I'm once again wewring this watch and have ditched the smart watch for the old school technology. Since initial visit I have brought in a few other items for appraisal, some tlc (cleaning) and have been pleasantly surprised by the quick turn around time. Most recently I was quoted seven (7) business days for a replacement/repair but it took maybe three (3) business days -dropped off Monday a.m., got a call to pick up item Thursday a.m. Once service is complete you'll receive a phone to let you know your item is ready for pickup. I'll continue to bring my jewelry in to Michael's Creative Jewelry because not only have I received exceptional service, everyone has been very nice to work with. And I don't want to forget to mention the beautiful jewelry they create and sell here. I've finally found a stunning piece here that other jewelry stores never carried. It may get sold but I know now if it does i can order another similar or have something specially made. read more

Great customer service and beautiful jewelry collection I will definitely be going back with my mom

Simply amazing. I went in with an old/delicate pendant that needed a new bale. Enjoyed a wonderful chat with Kathy Matteson who immediately tended to my situation. She promised to call the next day first thing in the morning with feedback from Michael on what could be done and cost. The call came in at 8:30am as promised and with great news - the bale could be done and at a very reasonable price. The more impressive part of this experience was how quick the turn around for the repair was - just a matter of days. The work is astonishingly creative - I could not be happier. You have earned my continued business and I tout Michael's Creative Jewelry wherever and whenever I can. MANY, MANY THANKS. read more

We live in Vegas and our rings were securely shipped to Michael's creative Jewelry in Arizona ( Mesa ) they arrived and Dori immediately contacted me to let me know ..she kept in close communication through out the entire process . I highly recommend this jeweler and I highly recommend the designer Dori Angelo .

The care and quality is definitely there !! read more

Purchased a men's ring for my husband before Christmas and was told it would arrive in 4-6 weeks. ...received in March. Called several times. I was told it was due to delays in getting materials but was not true. I asked to have owner call me which never happened. Turns out the manufacturer does not make larger sized rings but was NEVER told. Very poor communication here. read more

I would recommend highly!!! Very professional and are very knowledgeable!!!! Thank you Chris for working with our son to find the perfect Engagement Ring!!!! read more

Love this place! After years of wear and tear on my wedding ring I needed a new ring and with Randy's help and creativity, they created a masterpiece that was absolutely stunning. We could not have been happier with the process and the customer service that he provided us during what could've been a very difficult situation. We are so pleased and appreciate their professional approach. read more

I recently had my wedding set resized at Michael's Creative Jewelry on Ray Road in Ahwatukee. What a wonderful experience! I met with Emily Garippa who examined my rings, inspected the setting for safety, and explained the entire process including what would be done, how long it would take, and the price. Every part of the experience was covered. I felt confident and safe leaving my precious wedding set with these fine jewelers. When I picked up my rings (work was completed early!)the size was perfect and they had cleaned up my rings so they sparkled like new. I highly recommend the service and will use them in the future. read more

I can't speak to the quality of their products firsthand (but hopefully will be able to do so within the next year), but after finding the only local jeweler in the area with great reviews, I stopped by Michael's today to examine and polish my grandmother's ring, as well as to offer opinions on resetting it. I felt very welcome from the moment I entered, and no matter how many (in my opinion, annoying) questions I asked, the man who helped me responded with the utmost care, patience, and attention. I truly felt like I mattered--and it's not like I sauntered in with a designer bag and a huge diamond ring on my finger. I'm just a grad student. You don't get this kind of service at Scottsdale-based local jewelers. What I think blew me away about my experience is that it turns out (i.e., I learned just today) that my grandmother's ring, which was appraised by a lesser chain jewelry store that shall not be named to be worth more than my (granted, used) car, actually comprised a very low-end stone that could only barely pass as being of quality. I had every intention of resetting this stone in a nice, two-tone band with diamonds--a costly addition--and was instead told that it wouldn't make much sense to polish and reset a stone of this worth. In other words, they offered full and commendable honesty to a customer who would have easily spent $1,500-$2,000 right then and there, and instead told me the hard truth. I was so impressed with how they handled the situation, and my conflicted emotions that followed. I also had the chance to look around the store very closely, and am very impressed with the quality and diversity of what I saw. Whereas their website showcases their more experimental, avant garde designs, I can assure you that you can find anything you'd like here. You can also bring a picture (his example: from Pinterest; my example: from Brilliant Earth) and they will recreate whatever you show them with high-quality materials. Another HUGE plus: all conflict-free diamonds. Do not underestimate the importance of this. I will definitely be coming back to Michael's--my experience was great, even (or perhaps especially?) considering the quite negative circumstances. read more

After 35 years, needed to replace my wedding ring after losing the center stone and unable to repair the prongs. Michal assisted me with finding the perfect band. She listened to what I was wanting and gave me many beautiful options in the price range I requested. I went back 3 times to keep trying the band on and was always graciously welcomed.. Never did I feel pressured or rushed. I picked my band up today and love it! Michael's also offers free repairs, resizing, buffing, etc- amazing to have this additional service. Still have my eye on a vintage look diamond necklace so hopefully seeing Michal in the near future. read more

I'm posting this so others aren't taken advantage of. I took my engagement ring to be repaired, the prongs were getting worn & when I had been in previously the woman working there, "Kathy", told me that I could lose my diamond. They initially recommended a new setting replacement that would cost approximately $350. I wasn't comfortable with that because I hadn't discussed it with my husband. I was going to wait on it when Kathy recommended having it re-tipped instead for the time being & not risk losing my diamond. I asked her what the process was & she explained that they would add platinum to my existing platinum prongs to secure it. I asked if it would change the look of the ring & she said no, it would look exactly the same & it would only cost $75. I agreed that would be a good temporary fix & left my ring. When I picked up my ring, as soon as I put it on I said that it looked shorter & not right. Kathy responded that it was because I wasn't wearing my glasses. I said I didn't think so (I've been wearing this ring for 20 plus years) but I second guessed myself, paid & left. When I showed my husband, mother in law, son, etc. they all agreed that it looked different. What Michael's did was not to add to my prongs but instead they cut my prongs, pushed down my diamond & folded the existing prongs back over resulting in a shorter ring with a different look (& it's crooked too). I did not have the foresight to take pictures in advance which wouldn't make much of a difference since I wouldn't trust to leave my ring with them again. The ring is special to me, as most engagement rings are to people. My husband went through a lot to purchase it all those years ago. I wanted to post this to save someone else the heartache. In addition, I was not a 1st time customer, I had made purchases there before, as well as repairs. At the time I picked up my ring there was another woman in there complaining about a ring repair that didn't meet expectations either. read more

Couldn't have had a better experience! I inquired to a create a custom wedding set from my grandmother's that was past down to me and received a reply within a day. Had an appointment setup with Randy in no time and he was all ears, working with me closely to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. I wanted to create a more modern yet timeless set and my vision was brought to life. Overall the process took about a month and that was as expected. Two weeks after the initial appointment where the design was developed, the wax molds were ready. This is so you can see what you designed brought to life before it is finalized. Everything was just as I wanted and I proceeded to having the rings made, but I was ensured the entire time that if I didn't like something with the wax molds we could go back to the drawing board and have them redone. I picked up my rings today, less than two weeks after checking out the wax molds, and everything was perfect! I have very small fingers but they got every detail right. Pricing was also amazing and I received great value on my gold exchange. I absolutely recommend Michael's Creative Jewelry! Even if you're unsure, check them out. They're willing to help and ensure you get what you want. Thank you SO much Randy. I will look at my rings and think of how special this piece is thanks to your help and the work of the jewelers at Michael's Creative. Here are pictures of the before and after... it's insane how good they did! read more

My husband has purchased several pieces over the last 13 years for me from here. Eric was always wonderful to work with. Unfortunately, that was not our recent experience. The unprofessional woman repeatedly made fun of a piece I told her had sentimental value to me. I had asked her to stop more than once. This is inexcusable and just plain rude. I left the store very upset and crying. You just lost very loyal customers. read more

I have been a regular customer at the Ahwatukee locations for over 10 years. I work mostly with their gemologist Randy who is very knowledgeable, honest and helpful. They do high quality work and stand behind their products. They may not be the cheapest if you are shopping around at discount stores but at Michael's I always know exactly what quality I am paying for. read more

Super disappointed today. I have been a long standing customer of Michael's Creative Jewelry and today I was basically shown the door when I expressed surprise by the pricing (of something I have never paid for). I was flat out told that I could leave the store and go elsewhere. Ultimately, I did. Super rude salesman. read more

There is no other place I would go to buy quality jewelry! My fiancee and I have been absolutely amazed with our experience. From the minute you walk in the door, you feel welcome. You don't have to be a millionaire to be treated like a valued customer. We bought all our wedding jewelry (rings/bands) here and I have since referred everyone I know, including my mom. She too had an incredible experience with fixing some old jewelry and trading in some unwanted silver. Eric Shelton is the jeweler that we worked with and I promise you will never meet anybody nicer or more knowledgeable when it comes to jewelry/gemstones. He truly has your best interest at heart, and doesn't pressure you to make decisions one way or another. If you need ANY kind of jewelry, GO SEE ERIC AT MICHAEL'S CREATIVE JEWELRY!!! read more

I have been a customer for many years and have commissioned several custom pieces along the way. The last one, was pretty botched up and felt pretty pressured to go ahead with the piece even though after the first round I knew it was going in the wrong direction. I belong to several jewelry forums, and have many hundreds of thousands of postings, and have dealt with many online jewelers across the US so I know a thing or two about quality, craftsmanship, price and customer service. I can say that MCJ will not bend their so called policy to keep a return customer. I will not be going back and won't recommend them either. read more

My wife and I have been going to Michael's since I bought her wedding ring in 2009. Since then, we've referred every friend and relative to Eric Shelton over there. He's the nicest and most knowledgeable jeweler I've ever encountered. He always takes the time to understand our needs, and uses his expertise to make our buying experience wonderful. Overall, I've received great service and great value at Michael's. I will continue to go there and refer everyone I know to Michael's as long as Eric's around! read more

My husband bought my engagement ring here a little over 4 years ago. We later purchased both of our wedding bands here. I've always been impressed with the quality and service but today I was compelled to write a review. I lost a small diamond in my band and took it in for repair. I expected to pay for the replacement or labor, but no! They fixed it free of charge. They really stand behind their product! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Randy and his staff!! Not only did he take his time and work with my demanding needs of a time schedule but he was in constant communication as to production and when my ring was completed, it exceeded my expectations. His design and workmanship is excellent!! read more

I went here to get my wedding ring reset and had a great experience. We looked over the very large selection and made a choice. The next morning I realized it was not what I wanted and so we visited the North Valley store to look some more. I found the ring I wanted my stones set into and went to verify the change in this main store. The associate I worked with actually had the same ring picked out when I walked in the door thinking it might be my new choice! They made my custom ring and it turned out beautifully. The turn around was super quick and I absolutely adore my new ring. read more

High Class Jeweler. I will continue to purchase my jewelry, trade in my pieces, have my items taken care of here and recommend them as my personal favorite. read more

These guys go above and beyond in customer service and quality. This has been my husband's "go to" place for many special occasions over the years, but the ring Michael made for our 25th was amazing! He worked hard to make it exactly as my husband ask and in a short time frame. It was perfect! I've never been disappointed with anything that has come this place! I highly recommend them! read more

Randy worked with me to craft a stunning setting for my fiancé's engagement ring. He was extremely helpful and straightforward, no gimmicks or upsells, and the price was right. Kudos to Randy and Michael's Creative Jewelry for a job well done. read more

This place is amazing! Low pressure, great quality, helpful staff. My boyfriend and I have just begun ring shopping. All of the chain places were terrible by comparison. The staff here let just just look around, ask questions, and were all around great. There's no contest with them and any of the chain places. Go here! read more

After shopping at all the chain jewelry stores for an engagement ring, but not finding exactly what I was looking for, I stopped by Michael's just to comparison shop. Not only did they have a better selection, but Randy helped me design the exact ring I wanted. He walked me through the process and was so patient every time I modified the design and had another wax mold made. Randy kept me informed during every step of the project and even sent me pics of my ring as it was being created. The finished ring was more gorgeous than I ever could have imagined. I was a little disappointed to learn that the wax mold is destroyed in the ring making process and had wanted to incorporate the mold into a birthday present for my girl. Randy to the rescue again....he provided me a second mold of the ring at no charge. (Hey guys...you want to knock her socks off....get a championship ring display case off amazon and have it engraved with your names and engagement date and instead of your Superbowl ring, mount the wax mold in it. She'll cherish it.) This will be the only engagement ring I ever buy, but I can promise you any future jewelry purchases will be made here. Is there anything better than 5 stars? If there was, they'd get it. read more

Beth!!! I worked with Beth to create a beautiful ring that contained stones from a ring of my fathers. She was beyond patient with me as I wandered through the store looking at rings to pattern mine after. She showed me ring after ring after ring. Once I made a decision, she worked with me to modify to make it a one of a kind. I wanted a different mount for the diamond than was in the original. She patiently guided me through the catalog of the various mounts, describing how the stone would mount and look in the ones I thought I might be interested in. I was worried that it might be able to bend or break off from the ring. She assured me it would not. Once the wax was finished, I went in to see and try it on and to make any modifications. Beth's communication in regard to as progress was being made was exceptional. When the setting was ready to have the stone mounted, I was nervous to leave the stone fearing it might be switched out. She spent time putting the ring under the magnifier and helped me to find a marker that I would be able to see when the ring was done to reassure me that it was my stone that was indeed mounted. I dropped the stone off when they opened, she called me at 5 and left a voice mail to let me know it was ready. I was stuck in traffic and at 5:55pm, she called me again to make sure I had gotten her message and if I was going to make it in. I answered this call, letting her know I would not make it. I told her I would be in first thing in the morning to pick it up. The next day was her day off, but, she said she would meet me at the store to deliver my ring, on her day off. I told her absolutely not, that if I had any questions, I would be in touch, when it wasn't her day off. Needless to say, the ring is beautiful. I couldn't be happier with it. The setting captures and displays the beauty of the stones and each time I look at it, I think of my dad and how pleased he would be. THANK YOU BETH!!! read more

I concur with everything Lindsey T. said, including the endorsement for Eric Shelton. He was recommended to me by a friend. I had a unique request, wanting to incorporate diamonds from my mother's, grandmother's and step-grandmother's rings into a new wedding ring of my own. Eric was patient as I explained what I had in mind and provided some similar rings from which ideas for mine were developed. And I too was able to trade-in some older silver/gold pieces. Beautiful store, too! :) read more

I went in to have two charms added on to a bracelet .. I knew they would need to be respaced.. I wanted to have this done correctly that is why I chose Michael's .. The woman helping me had me so confused and I know she had no idea what I wanted done.. I have had excellent help before when going there. Not only that she told me my bracelet was considered scrap gold and only worth 200.00 .. The whole bracelet is 14k gold and I have paid more than 200.00 on just one charm.. The last time I was in there they told it the value was almost 3000.00 . I told the owner of my dissatisfaction and she was very pleasant .. They called me right away to pick it up but my charms were not respaced and I specifically asked to have one charm moved over a link and that was not done.. They told me to come back when I could leave it there for a few days .Well that is why I came in there the first place.. My bracelet might not be the top of the line but the sentimental value is priceless . I do still think 14k is top of the line. I paid 50.00 to have two charms soldered on and still didn't get what I came in to have done .. I am very disappointed and doubt I ever go there again .. One bad experience is enough .. I do have to say the help they had before was outstanding and went out of their was to accommodate me . read more
