YE Gurl Says: Service Matters More Than Sparkle at Worthington Jewelers…read more Place: Worthington Jewelers Context: Bridal show intro + in-store visits I really wanted to root for this one. I'm a fan of local, mom-and-pop businesses--especially for something as meaningful as wedding jewelry. Met the team at a bridal show, and while the energy felt a little off (crowds were heavy, so I gave grace), they warmed up enough to mention an extended bridal promo and encouraged me to stop in. So I did. And unfortunately... the experience never quite landed. When I came into the store, it was busy again--fair--but the interaction felt just as unclear as before. I explained exactly what I was looking for (even showed a Tiffany & Co. reference), and was immediately told customization was the only option... with no pricing guidance, no range, no transparency. That's a miss. When I did find a band in-store that worked, I moved forward--still without a clear idea of cost. After a long back-and-forth with a manufacturer, the quote came back at over $1,500 more than the comparable Tiffany piece. Pause. I also had to remind them about their own bridal promotion while actively making a purchase. That shouldn't be on the customer. To salvage the visit, I added earrings and dropped off jewelry for repair (which, to be clear, the smith work was excellent). But the buying experience? Still off. And here's where it really mattered: I later found my original ring through my Tiffany rep and called to cancel the order. Thankfully, I caught it in time--because buried in the fine print is that custom orders are non-cancelable. That's the kind of detail that should be clearly communicated upfront, not discovered later. Even the cancellation process felt like work. I was told someone would call me back... hours passed... I had to follow up myself to close the loop. Final visit to pick up my repaired jewelry? Empty store, but still somehow rushed. I tried to browse, got prompted to check out early, asked about items I'd previously seen--and was told they didn't exist. Then spotted them right next to me at checkout. At that point, I paid for the repair work and left with the same energy I walked in with: rushed, unclear, and not particularly welcomed. YE Gurl Insight: There's a difference between *nice* and *kind*. Nice feels scripted. Kind feels intentional. And in a category like jewelry--where purchases are emotional, high-investment, and personal--experience is everything. Final Take: * Craftsmanship (repairs): Strong * Retail experience: Inconsistent at best * Pricing transparency: Lacking * Overall vibe: Off I understand why more people are opting for brands like Tiffany & Co. or even online retailers like Mejuri --you get clarity, consistency, and a smoother experience without the friction. YE Gurl Says: Support local when it feels good to do so. But if the experience makes you second-guess a meaningful purchase? Trust that instinct and move accordingly.

After being professionally sized in-store, I ordered my ring based on their recommendation, but it didn't fit. When I returned to the store, both a manager and an employee confirmed I could exchange it for a larger size rather than resize it, per their policy. They took my ring to process the exchange. Days later, I was told they could only resize it, contradicting what I was promised. They claimed they'd escalate my case for review and follow up, but no one did. I had to call myself to find out my request was denied due to their vague "sustainability pledge." After nearly two weeks of delays, I requested a refund. Again, no one followed up. When I called back, I was told my refund needed further review because it was "past the refund window," even though they've had my ring since January 14th. They also suddenly required the return of promotional items, despite previously assuring me this wouldn't be necessary. Now, I must wait another 24-48 hours for a decision and, if approved, another 5-9 days for processing. Brilliant Earth has failed to honor their policies, misled me, and repeatedly delayed resolution. Their customer service is unreliable, and once they have your money, their policies seem to work in their favor--not yours. Buyer beware.

At the time I wasn't sure of my ring size and he got me a 4 although it's a 3.5. For years I have been wearing a bumper on it so it fits, which I know that sounds ridiculous to wear a bumper for so long but time just got away from me. Unfortunately the band on the back started to wear and I became worried it would break. I brought it in to a few local jewelry stores and they were afraid to add a shank and resize due to the delicate nature of the ring but Jim not only agreed to do it but he was so friendly, and seemed invested in the process! Pricing was very reasonable, service was fast, and my ring looks as good as new! Thank you so much!

We made an appointment to come in and this was the last jeweler before we decided who to go with. Right away Andy (son of William) just asked some questions to get to know us and what we were looking for. He told us they make their own style of rings right there in the shop. They don't just take measurements send those off to be cast at some other location. It's done by the two men behind the counter there. They have their own style of rings which separates them from traditional ring shapes. Aside from wedding rings they do just about everything jewelry related. Rings, earrings, necklaces etc... We have a family diamond passed down and Andy was able to create the ring and set the diamond. He also appraised the diamond for us. We then found another jewel to put in place from the piece we got the diamond and set that piece. Needless to say they did a fantastic job. The prices were respectable to the true artistic and craft work performed. After picking the piece out Andy took us back and showed us the process and work benches the ring would be made on. He showed us every step and during the appraisal he let us look at the diamond under microscope to see what makes ours unique. He explained the history behind it and how diamonds are made. They truly care about what they do. After 1 month we came in to look at the diamond and we're completely amazed by it. William and Andy smiled and said this is why they do what they do for these moments. They are truly masters of their craft and I would recommend to anyone! We will be returning for our wedding bands too.
