Very Dishonest people. I ordered a ring from them on 9/6 and ordered 2 day air. My GF birthday is today and it will not arrive until 9/12. They will not refund my 2 day air express money. Be careful ordering from them as they are deceitful. read more

My husband bought me a mother's ring a few years ago from Moriarty's Gem Art. The ring is stunning and contains the birthstones of our children and grandchildren. The workmanship of the the ring is outstanding and the gemstones are high quality. We recently had another grandchild and my husband had another stone added to the ring. Communication was quick and clear, shipping went smoothly and the ring is gorgeous! read more

7 years ago my husband got our son's birthstone in a ring from Mother's Family Rings for me: alexandrite (June). I had no idea how rare and difficult it was to get alexandrite until our daughter was born, also in June. I started my search for another June ring after she was born and found multiple places offering lab grown options. However, my stubborn self wanted natural, just like my son's birthstone ring. Mother's Family Rings is the ONLY place I could find a natural option for alexandrite. I was so excited that I found the natural gemstone and also happy that I was able to support this wonderful business again. My son's ring is 7 years old and still in PERFECT condition (I could probably polish it up a bit) and my daughter's ring looks just as amazing (although cleaner looking...oops). Next time we take a family trip to Chicago I want to stop in and meet the wonderful jewelers who gave me the most wonderful rings for my two wonderful children! read more

I can't thank the Moriarty staff and family enough for the stones they have provided. Over the years, the team has created a trusted network of sources where they visit and purchase rocks that become incredible gemstones. At this website or even better, their brick and mortar store ( if you'r lucky enough to visit), you will get a good value regardless of choice. This place isn't cheap, it's fair-a good value. They are fair. You will receive a very good quality stone that is well sourced and the best you can get for the price. They are a good value. They stand behind all they sell. That's the best part. If you need them, they are there. There is even a phone number if you need to speak with them...AND they answer the phone. But it is my guess that if you need to contact them, it will be to make another purchase. If you find a reason to be disappointed, let's hear (read) it. I wanna see that, no kidding. Thanks, all. read more

If you are wanting a beautiful, custom-designed, ring with true talent and meticulousness, CHOOSE Moriarty's!! Alice bent over backwards to make sure I had everything I desired. She was dedicated to making sure I was happy with my results- all from long distance/ out of state. After numerous e-mails and phone calls, my ring was and is absolutely perfect. Both Alice and Chris (the talented artist who built the ring) were so considerate of the details. I receive compliments constantly of the detail and the beautiful color of the stone. And for those who want to listen, I tell them the story of how it was created and built by this wonderful company in Indiana named "Moriarty's"... you guys are more famous than you know!!! I highly recommend. They were professional, respectful, and overall such nice people. I know for a fact if I contacted them right now for help, or questions on my ring, they would be more than willing to assist. I'm so happy we chose you guys. Thank you, again, for the beautiful ring. read more

Honestly the only place I will buy jewelry from at this point. Everybody at the store is extremely welcoming and professional, and not to mention very patient. The gems are so beautifully cut and polished and the designs in general are all so amazing. I was able to purchase a loose gemstone and Alice worked with me to create a very beautiful custom earring that truly love! read more

Moriarty's Gem Art - tanzanite ring on 14k white gold diamond setting - Jewelry Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

This place is WAY better than any other jewelry place I've ever been to. Yes, the selection isn't as big as say... Albert's or Kay but, the stuff they carry is amazing! They can custom make or order anything from their catalogs for you to see (no charge and usually within a couple days). I purchased an engagement ring and both our wedding bands here. The staff is amazing! Customer satisfaction is definitely their top priority. They take the time to show you all kinds of settings and stones as well as helping you narrow your selection and guide you as you browse the seemingly endless array of semiprecious and precious gems they carry. They have Raw stones, uncut and still in the media it was found in. One of the neatest things we saw there was the raw Tanzanite. Second on the list was the dinosaur bone ring and third was the fossilized trilobite on display. We absolutely LOVE this place, the staff, selection and 'oh cool!' factor of what they have all add up to a solid 5 for both of us. read more

The folks at Moriarty's Gem Art (and separate Tanzanite website) are fantastic. I was in search of a tanzanite for my wife and was in contact with many different local gem stores, online stores, and dealers (including those in Tanzania). +2 months of researching and contacting. Moriarty's not only had the best selection for the price but they were EXTREMELY helpful in helping me find the right stone that my wife loved (very specific color mix, red flashes, carat size, etc.). They then went to work on making a custom pendant for the gemstone. They were very patient and helpful - despite the many modifications on my end (going back and forth on designs and to no fault of Moriarty's). In the end, everything came out perfectly. I highly recommend Moriarty's for the full service offerings, beautiful gemstones, extensive knowledge and passion, and great customer care. read more

I've been buying from Moriarty's Gem Art for some time now and each time I'm always pleased with the gemstones that I've purchased. The shipping is fast--usually about 3 business days. My recent purchased arrived on a Saturday--another stunner! I enjoy watching his shows which are both informative and interesting. I learned a great deal about what to look for in certain gems including the history behind gem discoveries. I've learned to appreciate gems that I've never heard of before and have purchased several of them. The adventures that accompany his narratives are also humorous. read more

I had a ring with a missing stone. They found JUST the right little opal and placed it beautifully. I found the service quite professional and prompt (the ring was ready in a couple of days). I hope to be back! read more

I explained what I needed and she found exactly the style I was looking for for my daughter's wedding. The price beat out Albert and .Jared. I received personal attention and was not sent from person to person read more

My wife and I traveled to their shop last February in search of a tanzanite stone and custom ring. I knew what I wanted and had a sketch. Alice showed us several stones and we finally pick one...hard decision. They had so many to choose from. Gave Christopher the sketch to start design. Then covid hit... Christopher sent several computer images for us to see and make changes. Well it is finally done and very beautiful. I love it and the experience we had at this store. So much so, I bought a pair of aquamarine gems for my wife and having them made into earrings. Plan on buying a stone and having a ring made for my wife too... read more

I purchased a gorgeous pendant from them! The tanzanite gem is excellent and I did have it appraised locally! I was very happy with my purchase and would definitely purchase from them again. I like that they have their own store too! The best thing about their site is Steve rates each piece. When he doesn't rate them in the description I pass right by that stone thinking it must not be that good....hope they don't give up on rating the stones as it's helpful. I saw one of his videos on Utube on how he rates the particular stones. read more

I found Moriarty's online recently, while shopping for a tanzanite stone. I ended up buying a stone from them, and having them make me a beautiful ring. I then engaged them to create another ring from a stone I inherited. The entire process: design, review and shipping, was effortless on my part. The results have been stunning, and I am now in the process of creating yet another piece for my collection. Kudos to Alice, Christopher and Michael. Even though you are in IN (I am in San Francisco) you make me feel like you are right next door. You guys ROCK! read more

Absolutely wonderful work! Employees are super helpful and know their stuff. I went in with an idea for an engagement ring and they walked me through every step from start to finished product. They had great input on finding the right diamond. For a custom ring they do a computer generated model followed my a wax mold to fully visualize the end product. Prices are excellent and employees are professional. read more

This is the real deal. These guys go to Tanzania, hang with the locals and have the best Tanzanite I've ever seen. The deepest blues and purples. Blackish at times. read more

I rarely give 5 stars when reviewing a retail establishment, however this business did great by me. I needed my ring cleaned and prongs redone for an upcoming event. Because they do the repairs on site, I was able to get my ring back in 5 days instead of the 7 days as promised. Exceptional customer service! The center stone is securely in place and the 25 year old ring shines as if it were brand new. I drove past other jewelry store's to get to Moriarty's and am glad I did. read more

Moriarty's is great. I have been there multiple times and it's been very successful each time. First I got a beautiful tanzanite stone set in my boyfriends grandmothers ring setting, which is now my promise ring. Then I got a diamond ring from the estate jewelry case for a great price, which I LOVE and wear daily. When my grandmother died I went there with the ruby necklace I inherited, which I would've lost the stone to because the setting was cracked and I couldn't see it because it was so small, so they fixed that. Then I ended up smashing my diamond ring I loved, so they fixed that and you can't even tell it was basically smashed in half (did this with granite, it ended up saving my finger). And then lastly I just got my grandpas ruby, which I inherited also, set in a ring which Steve and I picked out together. This place goes above and beyond with making sure you're happy and satisfied. They are incredibly nice and have a wonderful selection of anything you're searching for. Soon we will return for my engagement ring. read more

They were extremely helpful with a diamond newbie like myself. They really educted me on what I should be looking for in a diamond and even helped me with a custom design. It was finished 2 weeks later and looked amazing. It was the first time I was in there...my wife grew up in Crown Point, so we are out there a lot. read more

I have a few pieces from here (earrings, necklace and a ring), and love all of them! Moriarty's has awesome gems from around the world, unique and one of a kind designs, and great service from the staff. I always get compliments on my pieces! My mom also has a gorgeous opal necklace that they helped create that she loves, has great color to it! Both of us would definitely recommend them over any other jewelry store. I don't think you can say other jeweler stores travel around the world to pick out exotic gem stones!!! read more

Great selection of unusual styles and fabulous stonework. You will not regret a single purchase you have ever made at their shop!

Please beware of buying from these people, especially online at one of their websites: MothersFamilyRings.com and TanzaniteJewelryDesigns.com. They espouse exceptional quality and great customer service on these websites. However, it is all just a bunch of hot air. I recently purchased a Mother's ring this month for my wife, consisting of 5 stones for each of our children. I received it the day after Mother's day, because they were too cheap to send it NDA through UPS or FedEx. They sent it by the USPS, 2 day air, on Thursday. The post office didn't even make an attempt on Saturday to deliver it. I stayed home all day waiting on it. I called the Post Office and Moriarty's around 1:30 pm, trying to track it down. Nancy Moriarty, the owner, told me she would call the Post Office and find out what was going on, and definitely get back with me. I waited and waited, and never heard back from her. I called again around 2:30 pm and she had already gone for the day. The lady who answered, put Steve, the owner, on the line. When he answered, the first words out of his mouth were, "I don't know what you think I can do for you?". Rude and unbecoming of such a "world traveler", don't you think. I explained to him, that had he sent it NDA, I would have had an extra day to counteract such a mishap. He told me there was nothing he could do for me. So much for that superior customer service. I knew right then, that I was just another number and dollar sign. My wife, finally did get it on Monday. It was a decent Mother's ring. Nothing outstanding, though. I took it to a local jewelry store, and they said that it was a little better quality than one of your chain jewelry stores, but nothing exceptional. Lesson learned. Don't trust these people to provide you an outstanding piece of jewelry or exceptional customer service for a loved one. Please look elsewhere and be an informed consumer. Don't believe everything you see in black and white. read more
