Thank you Jay for everything! It was such a pleasure meeting you. I love my new Breitling! We stopped in only to get my husband's Breitling band adjusted but walked out with my new beautiful Chronomat timepiece! Thanks to Jay and his patience in showing us some great items and taking care of us. The jewelry is nicely showcased and overall, it's just an upscale and gorgeous store! Friendly staff - so many people came by asking if we had been helped when we were waiting. I highly recommend that you stop in for all your fine jewelry needs. read more

Thank you so much Crista.. she helped look for the perfect anniversary ring to match my wedding ring that wasn't purchased from Simmons. It fits like a glove You need a jeweler, ask for Crista! read more

Greetings Jay, I would like to let you know that after a short consideration, we decided to keep my wedding ring instead of pursuing a new ring as you offered yesterday to replace or mitigate the fact that my original ring was reshaped by over sanding, over polishing and removing the middle/center gold texture. The ring that I received is lighter, meaning material, gold, was removed in excess from all angles. This is my wedding ring, which I am being wearing for 30 years now, and it breaks my heart, because in a way the sense I had wearing my dear wedding ring is gone. Your smith guy is really quick at sanding and poshing heavily and that of course produce workbench earnings. Because I do not think you dispose such valuables in other way. I am sure you do not want to replace it with a new ring, losing $3000 as you stated. Probably the ring will be disappointing for me and with less quality than the one I bought 30 years ago. I am not asking for any refunds at all. I think I made a mistake trusting you with such important and intimated pieces of my wedding memories. I noticed today that even the ring is out of the rounded shape. Overall, either neglecting or unprofessional way to handle my ring. I will weight, measure any gold made pieces before scheduling any work to avoid such mishaps. I will take good pictures and document clearly what I am requesting from a Jeweler maker next time. At the end of this business transaction the one taking a loss was me, because my ring is not the same and I did not received in return the work that I asked from your company. Does polishing gold remove gold? AI Overview Yes, polishing gold does remove a microscopic layer of metal to smooth out scratches and restore shine, which means it technically reduces the total amount of gold. While the amount removed during a single, professional polish is negligent--often mere microns--frequent or aggressive polishing over many years can wear down jewelry and reduce its weight.

Crista is amazing, so professional, kind & knowledgeable. If you need help choosing a beautiful new piece or creating a wishlist for your significant other to shop from, Crista is a super star! I had my rings cleaned on my last visit & she noticed the setting for my accent diamonds needed work. Crista asked if i ever considered upgrading my diamond & showed me a dazzling lab grown diamond in my price range. I had the work done. I am so happy with my rings & i will be forever grateful to Crista for her advice. read more

Amanda was so helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend them for all your jewelry needs

I've been patronizing Simmons Fine Jewelry for years and Jay has a great, friendly, professional, no pressure crew! They have the best selection and inventory in the Valley. Today I was greeted by Naphtali and had a wonderful experience and conversation while I waited for Jay to appraise my jewelry. Jay was attentive and offered his appraisal which was fair as usual. I have enjoyed doing business with them for 20 years. Top notch! If you're looking for outstanding top shelf jewelry or services this is the place to go. Thank you Naphtali for your attention and help! Bob B. read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else after visiting Simmons. Christa (not sure of the spelling) was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and never pushed us. I'm so in love with my new ring! I'll totally be returning and I highly recommend. read more

I really recommend this place. I actually met Jay and his family while I was working. His wife's beautiful jewelry caught my attention we had a brief conversation and I found out they were the Simmons. I went to their establishment a few days later because I was looking for a grooms gift. Jay his wife, son Blake and all the associates were so polite. They offered to clean my engagement ring and bracelet while I shopped. They were very helpful and helped me pick out an amazing watch for my soon to be husband. They have a large selection of nice watches, jewelry and unique knives. I felt Jay and his family were extremely genuine. I liked how the business is ran with actual family members. There is a beautiful picture of the family hanging on the wall and it was a nice reminder, that I myself prefer to support local family owned businesses over corporations any day. I will defiantly be going back read more

I had a special vintage watch that I wanted a surprise gift for my Dad for Christmas. Nothing too fancy, but needed a new battery and leather band. I knew it was pretty close to Christmas and that my gift idea may be too late to have repaired in time. Amanda was quick to greet me at the front door as if she were waiting just for me. She was very professional and, with the assistance from the owner, they were able to get the watch working again, set the time & date, and fitted with a beautiful new leather band...all while I waited a few moments. Though there were other guests in the store at the time, I was treated as if I was Amanda's first priority. Thank you so very much Amanda, and Simmons! The watch was a fantastic gift and meaningful surprise for Dad! read more

I wish i could double the stars because this jeweler deserves a 10! This would be my 6th purchase and/or experience with Jay and his staff but this time it was more sentimental and personal as i was looking for my wedding band after recently becoming engaged. Immediately Crista showed me some examples of what i had explained to her that i liked and wanted. It was so refreshing having someone that LISTENED to us and what we were looking for. In the course of our conversation I mentioned having a different stone instead of a diamond. There was no pushback or pish poshing of what i wanted. She was open to showing me everything. Ensuring i could see all my options. The end result besides my new wedding ring is HAPPINESS and you can't put a price on that. Thank you Crista and Jay for taking your time with us. Matthew and Raquel read more

Simmons has been so good to us! They are our choice of jeweler and we feel safe with them handling our jewelry. We first stopped in about a year ago and asked if they could fix my sterling silver turquoise ring, as it had bent. They fixed it within minutes and didn't charge us a dime. Since then, they've set my diamond for my engagement ring and we will be using them for all future services. Thank you Simmons! read more

In December 2022 we came to Simmons and spent a couple thousand dollars. In February we had a ring re-designed and were working through the process of a 6-7 carat custom piece. After the design process we decided to look at our options with another jeweler due to the pricing of the ring. I supplied most of the diamonds! When we returned to pick up the jewelry and design work, we were informed that we would not be receiving our design, wax ring, or a refund. It saddens me to see a business in our valley treat its customers this way. Seems a bit silly to lose a customer over less than $500, doesn't it? If I could leave zero stars, I would. Be aware! read more

I have a watch that requires a battery but much nicer than something I would trust myself to watch a YouTube video and do. My wife took it to the store where she bought it and they referred her across town. When we got around to calling to get it done I did not feel comfortable leaving them with my watch. A year passes and I still had my nice watch not working. I decided to stop into Simmons since they were local and likely to do their own work. 10 minutes later, I walk out with a new battery and a smile. I thought I would have to send the watch away. Nope! What a relief! Thank you! read more

I have had many dealings with Simmons over the years. I know that jewelry is a very personal thing and it can also be intimidating. I have loved and enjoyed every piece I have gotten from them. I have looked at other jewelry store and find the quality, workmanship, attention to detail to be very different at Simmons. Meaning, the quality is very high. They guarantee the piece. Every time I walk in, someone asks me for my jewelry and it looks brand new and clean when I get back a few minutes later and it has also been checked for loose diamonds or prongs wearing down. They actually observe you, listen to your story, pay close attention to what draws your eye and make recommendations on what they see suiting you.. My very own personal Jewelry shopper! That is cool. They all dress professionally vs just got out of bed. Very classy store. Personally, I have been treated well by everyone. I will buy more jewelry from them. The quality is always superior to what I have found in other stores. You have many sales people and there is a personality to fit anyone. I would recommend Simmons. read more

I truly can't say enough good things about Simmons Fine Jewelry. Jay Simmons and his staff are knowledgeable, courteous and extremely helpful. Every time I walk in I am greeted with smiles and hand shakes. They really have a way of making you feel like family. A few months ago I purchased a new Tag Heuer timepiece to celebrate a recent achievement. I love the watch and wear it almost every day. It is easily the most attractive and quality timepiece I have ever owned. Jay, Jim and Blake all helped me in hand selecting the perfect watch for my needs, style and budget. They also took the time to educate me on proper care practices as well as helped me to make sure my warranty registration was completed. I was happily surprised to find I was able to own a Tag Heuer for such a reasonable price. Simmons Fine Jewelry is truly Idahos finest jewelry store. If you are looking for the finest jewelry from the most renowned designers in the world, they are where you want to be. I will always recommend Simmons Fine Jewelry to anyone looking for quality fine jewelry and will return for all my future purchases because I know I will always be taken care of and treated as family. Some people go to jewelry stores. I go to my jeweler, Jay Simmons. :D read more

I went in with my husband looking for a ring setting for our anniversary. The owner made a couple of insulting comments that made me feel uncomfortable. I don't normally wear a band with my ring, and he said by doing so it will look like I have three kids and am still engaged. Then he showed us $60K ring we didn't ask to see and told us we couldn't afford it. I left with a bad taste in my mouth. It's a nice store, but apparently not for average folks like us. read more

Trying to be socially responsible, I set about looking for a jeweler that had Canadian diamonds. All of the associates at Simmons were helpful. They answered all of my questions and were very understanding of what I was after. And now, confession time: I did not want any diamonds from the big diamond monopoly that shall remain nameless but you all know who I'm referring to. I was not about to support their horrible treatment of the diamond minors. Man, did I get an education. I was given all kinds of information on how the diamond industry has changed their ways. How they're giving back to the communities that are affected by what they do. And how they support women and education around the world. I still didn't buy from the biggest company, I chose an American mom and pop company instead. I love the end result of my purchase. The associates were fabulous and knowledgeable! Not that I buy a lot of jewelry but this will be my place from now on. And I'll tell all my friends not only about how great Simmons is but everything I learned about diamonds! read more

We had a less than pleasant experience at Simmons today. To start, we had a hard time getting service to begin with. Perhaps because we look too normal, in our mid 20s and middle class. When we were finally helped, my fiancé tried on several watches. When he went to remove a watch, the owner, Jay, aggressively grabbed my Fiancés wrist and forcefully flipped it over to remove the watch. A simple verbal correction on how to remove the watch would have sufficed, there was no need for physical aggression from Jay. In addition, considering the current health crisis, physical involvement should be avoided at all cost. This is just one of several instances where we felt disrespected and insulted. We simply wanted to shop for something nice for each other and were met with aggression, disrespect, and belittlement. I will not support this business due to these actions and advise anyone reading this to do the same. After reading other reviews, it is clear we are not the only ones who have experienced extremely inappropriate interactions from Jay and the staff and Simmons. Only giving one star because zero was not an option. read more

Shannon was great helping me and I loved my experience at Simmons! Such a great team of people who genuinely care about what they do, and helping their clients. Definitely recommend them to anyone! read more

Couldn't tell if the jewelry was great or not, because we only spent a couple of minutes in the shop before leaving. We pulled up in a Jeep and had street clothes on, so I guess we are street bums. The service was insulting from the minute we walked in, don't try to explain what you want without the correct jargon or the staff will roll eyes with some attitude for trying to explain what you wanted. We even stayed longer to see the collection, but it only got worse! We already had other engagement rings picked out, so their loss. Service was so horrible I had to write this. I went to every shop in Boise, ID. And this is the only shop I don't recommend. read more

Jay Simmons obviously enjoys making his would be customers feel like they aren't good enough to be in his store! Rude, condescending and unprofessional in so many ways. Personally I will never recommend this jewelry store and will be sure to tell all my family, friends and acquaintances not to waste their time or money shopping here! There are so many jewelers in this valley that appreciate their customers, don't waste your time at Simmons, it should be re-named "Snotty's" read more

I am a big fan of John Hardy silver jewelry and Simmons has the best and biggest selection of any store in the Treasure Valley. Both Jay Simmons and his son Blake are very knowledgeable about their trade. They are very courteous and welcoming when you enter the store. They will also clean up any silver jewelry you bring in and make it shiny again! The space itself is very bright and the display cases are attractive and well arranged. I would highly recommend this jeweler to anyone looking for a gift or a pair of earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces that will make any occasion special! read more

Fantastic service! I had a rather complicated problem with a watch and they solved it for under 10 bucks! Excellent!

I spent roughly 3 weeks searching for the "right" wedding present for my bride to be. All of the jewelers I spoke to had something that "might work," but I was left feeling like I was buying something "close" instead of the piece she deserved and I wanted. It wasn't that way when I came to Simmons Jewelry, their selection was fantastic. More importantly the staff were exceptionally patient and willing to share their knowledge with me. They provided options, listened to my comments and explained why one piece was more expensive than another. I also appreciated that the respected that my budget was a lot for me and made sure that my dollar went as far as it could. Thank you to the staff for all your help and taking a large weight off my shoulders. read more

Dave R. you are spot on! I rated this business a one star only because I have to give it some type of rating. However, I would have preferred the option of half or no star. My family and I had a similar experience with Simmons Jewelry. I recommended Simmons because I was apparently under the impression that it was the best jewelry business in the valley. Boy was that a mistake. My daughter was getting married and I presented her with my mother's wedding band. It needed to be sized down. The first point of contact was with a young man, who apparently didn't know what he was doing. We told him what we would like to do and he gave us a look of "why would you want to wear this...." He too rolled his eyes and looked at the ring as if it came from a candy machine. Then Jay Simmons appeared, he too was just as rude, condescending, and made the remark to my future son-in-law "why would you give her this, she clearly likes bling, look at her watch..." We should have left at that point, but we didn't. Mistake. They fudged around with the sizing, which I find very odd today, but nonetheless, they took the ring. The ring was to be sized to a 6 1/2, with any metal that was cut out to be given back to us. When we picked up the ring, it appeared to fit, but was snug. My daughter thought it was just that her fingers were swollen. No help from the salesperson, he couldn't get us out fast enough. We paid and went on our way. Later that day my daughter said she thinks the ring is too small. I cried. We went to another jewelry store and explained our situation and they sized the ring....it was cut down to 5!!!!! Really Simmons, fine jewelry? I think not. My husband wouldn't let me go back to Simmons because, I was so upset over what they had done to my mother's wedding ring. The other jewelry fixed the ring, at no charge. I will not recommend going to Simmons Jewelry. NEVER. In addition, my son-in-law was looking at a Tungsten ring for his band. Jay Simmons, said, "why would you want to buy that, it will just break..." Well, my son-in-law purchased a Tungsten from another jewelry and he works with his hands all day. Happy to say, it is still in tack and going strong. It appears Simmons Jewelry (I leave out the "fine" on purpose) focus is to sell only over-priced jewelry for which they feel is what the customer wants or need. Dismissing family heirlooms as trash. Very sad. read more

Had a great experience today with Jay Simmons and Neal Hunt, who helped me get beautiful rings at a great price. We were referred to them by a close friend who gave glowing reviews and the word of mouth I've heard about Simmons is excellent. My experiences backed this up and I'd refer all my friends to them.They were very patient as we looked at different styles of settings and various cuts of diamonds last night and today and then helped explain what would work in our price range. They didn't try to push to make bigger sales, but focused on getting us the best possible rings and we felt totally heard and respected. Like finding a good car mechanic, it's so important to find someone you trust and I felt 100 percent confident in them and would recommend Simmons to anyone looking for quality jewelry. read more

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience. We went in to have our engagement ring redesigned so that we could pair a band with it. Our sales lady Shannon helped us find the band of our choice first and then with assistance from Jay Simmons we were able to design a new ring. They met our needs and the ring was completed as they had promised. We will be returning for future jewelry needs. read more

I took My wedding ring of 18yrs in, It had a couple broken prongs. The gentleman that helped me, talked me into adding some additional gold to the side of my ring, in addition to fixing the prongs. He told me, my ring would look "brand new" when it was done. Unfortunately when I went to pick it up, the repair was less than acceptable. To the naked eye,the gold was very thick and bumpy on one side The gentleman helping me, told me it was supposed to look like that... I disagreed, and asked them to please fix it. After going back three times, the gold still wasn't right and the size of the ring had changed. When I asked about the size, the gentleman told me they did nothing to the size and could make it right for an additional charge. After paying almost $400 and going back for the 3rd time, there was another woman complaining about the work done on her ring. I decided to cut my losses and go to another jewelry store. Just wanted my wedding ring right, didn't think it would be too much to ask. Will not be going back to Simmons. read more

The moment I walked into Simmons Fine Jewelry I sensed I would find quality. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the display of jewelry was amazing. As I looked around I noticed everyone was receiving attention from a very professional staff. I was welcomed immediately by an associate, Neal Hunt, and with a smile he asked how he could assist me. Neal listened to me as I explained what I hoped to find. There was no a high pitch sales approach just pleasant conversation as he showed me what I wanted to see. The selection within the store was simply amazing I found the perfect piece of jewelry that I had hoped for. I thoroughly enjoyed my shopping experience! read more

Wonderful people! Great service! Amazing selection of diamonds, and rings! If you want it, they got it! Always ask for Neal Hunt, he is a straight shooter, and won't try and sell it to you at all. The ring will sell itself!! read more

I've been a customer of Simmons for around 20 years and it is the best jewelry store in the Treasure Valley. I would give them 5 stars, but I am going to be fair and deduct one because there are times that different sales people don't always have a complete understanding of what to do. That being said, I understand there are new people that are in training and I know it takes time to figure out how everything works when you are dealing with custom design, fit, etc. Not many stores in this area are good with custom jewelry but Simmons can do about anything! I prefer nice quality jewelry, therefore I do not shop at bargain stores (mall shops, pawn shops, etc.) that typically have low quality items. If you are shopping for quality jewelry that will last and be beautiful then this is the place to be. They have the biggest and nicest selection of good jewelry as well as having goldsmiths on hand. Over the years I have sent many people in and they have been able to get what they are looking for. I read the other 2 reviews and I'm sorry about their bad experience, but my friends, family, and I have never had an issue. I would recommend going in to see the beautiful store and the variety of jewelry they have! read more
