They were so inviting ! I came in to fix a broken chain and they gave a reasonable price.

We had Skylight Jewelers recommended by a local Facebook group when we asked around about a local jeweler for an engagement ring, and we are thrilled with how everything went. My fiancé proposed without a long-term ring, since I wasn't sure exactly what style I wanted. We gathered a few pictures for inspiration and met with Spencer at Skylight Jewelers to create a custom design. We iterated a bit with him on the CAD model before finalizing everything and having it cast. We had Spencer purchase a lab diamond for the gemstone, and he helped us through the process on deciding between natural vs lab and the criteria for stone quality (which neither I nor my fiancé were familiar with). Everything turned out better than we could have hoped! My fiancé and I still think the ring is so pretty and is exactly what I wanted. Spencer and Eugene also worked with us on a couple follow up visits to resize the engagement ring so that it fit just right. As our wedding date got closer, we went back for wedding bands and the process was just as easy. We chose very plain band styles that Spencer cast in the correct size for both of us. We would recommend Skylight and Spencer and Eugene to anyone, without reservations! Photo credit: https://thenewromantic.co read more

See all

Wonderful experience and excellent result. Spencer and Eugene helped me design a beautiful custom engagement ring. They explained every step from initial design, computer images, 3d model, and finishing touches on final product. Highly recommend can't thank them enough, my fiancé loves it!! read more

If you are looking for a distinctive engagement ring or other piece of jewelry for your special occasion, then Ed Spencer and Skylight Jewelers is the place to go. Whether you have your own idea for a design or would like guidance from a professional, Spencer will create your dream piece of jewelry and he will make sure you are thrilled with it. When I was to be engaged this summer my fiance and I asked Spencer to create a diamond ring that I had in mind. Although it came out beautifully, I later changed my mind about the design. He was so patient and listened to me and created the new stunning ring that I have now. I am so happy with it! Do not hesitate to call and visit Skylight Jewelers. Even if you do not want to create your own design, Spencer has a wonderful showcase of beautiful and unique Desmond rings, wedding bands and assessories. read more

When I was looking for the right jeweler in Boston to design an engagement ring, I found Skylight on Yelp. The reviews are what got me to walk in, and I'm so glad I did! My now fiancée and I went in and spoke with Spencer (the jeweler) and his colleague (a woman whose name we can't recall, but she was awesome!). We were looking for moissanite and from the moment we walked in, they were accommodating and honest. We purchased two rings, one totally custom and one edited from a design we liked in the case. Ultimately, our experience designing and buying both rings was flawless. Our rings are gorgeous, and we couldn't be happier. We'll be returning for our bands. If you're in the market for moissanite (or anything!) I really recommend checking Skylight out. Spencer worked with us on style, budget, and got to know us a bit, ultimately delivering us exactly what we wanted! read more

I did a lot of research into jewelers, prices, methods, etc. before deciding that Skylight Jewelers was the best place to go to get a custom designed engagement ring. Spencer, who seems to be the owner/head person, worked with me one-on-one to design a ring. He was honest, helpful, and fair. He knew all about the current trends, what worked, what didn't. He was able to take my rough ideas and make them all work together to design an amazing ring. When it was all done, the price was extremely reasonable--even lower than I expected. What stuck out to me about working with Spencer and other staff about Skylight Jewelers is that they take so much pride in the actual art of jewelry making. If I had an idea that they did not think would look great, they would tell me honestly, even if it would lower the cost of the ring. Spencer was excited to actually make the ring and work on it. If you are going to propose, you'll need a ring. If you need a ring, get a custom ring. Hopefully you won't need to buy too many engagement rings in your life, so when you do buy one, get one which is unique and unlike everybody else's. Get one the fits you and your significant other's tastes exactly. Two other quick things: Skylight can work with any sort of stone. We decided to do moissanite instead of diamond. They were very helpful in helping me pick it out. Also, they seem to do much, much more than just engagement rings. They have lots of interesting jewelry in the shop. read more

Great customer service. Beautiful and unique one-of-a-kind pieces. Friendly and welcoming.

We initially walked into the shop where Skylight Jewelers is based because of these playful wood sculptures of violin-like objects by Philippe Guillerm that were displayed in the window, and I'm so glad we did. A few months later my boyfriend proposed with a custom engagement ring from Skylight Jewelers. It's the most gorgeous thing I've ever possessed, and my fiance really enjoyed the design process with Ed Spencer. In contrast to the other jewelers he visited, this was a low pressure experience where he felt his budget and his taste were respected. Ed Spencer is a gem. His work is exceptional. We're so happy to have found him, and he'll be making our wedding rings as well! read more

I was looking to create a unique ring for our commitment ceremony. I had several small diamonds from other pieces that I wanted to use, and I had an initial concept. Over a period of several months, I worked with Spencer to create my perfect ring. We communicated in person, on the phone and via email to get something started in wax and then I went down there again to see the wax. That started another process of sitting with Spencer while we worked with the wax to get it just the way I wanted. We changed the design, which diamonds we were using, and the size, several times over several hours and visits. I knew just what symbolism I wanted the ring to convey. I don't know how he did not get inpatient with me. He was very calm and tried every tiny, perfectionist suggestion I made. His approach is that if I was not 100& happy with my ring, he was not letting it out of the store! I was way more anxious than he was and he seemed to have no worries about how much time it took to get it right. He even told me that if the end product was not the ring I envisioned, then he would start all over again!! While I definitely did not want that to happen, it did give me peace of mind. So, finally, we decided to go ahead and Spencer gave the wax to his setter/finisher Eugene, with the caveat that certain small adjustments could be made when the ring was ready. I went to pick it up yesterday and I loved it! My "eye" saw 2 things I was not happy about and felt I wanted tweaked. Eugene came downstairs and spent time with me making sure he totally understood what I wanted. After about 15 minutes, Eugene came back with my ring and it was PERFECT! Eugene, had heard and understood exactly the tweaks I wanted and did them. He is a true "gem" to work with! As far as pricing goes, Spencer is extremely fair and charges based on the design and amount of metal and work needed, not the amount of time it took to design the piece. He also took a bunch of old gold I had at home as a trade-in, taking a substantial amount off the price of the ring. If you want a custom designed ring, Spencer and Skylight Jewelry is the place to go. One piece of advice - Spencer is a true artist. He does not keep regular hours and "dropping by" could mean he won't be there. Be very specific and patient about timing and when you want to work with him and how much time you have for each session. Don't be scared off by that - it is well worth the process! AND, if you are not as crazy as I am about exactly what you want, trust Spencer, and the process will be a lot quicker! read more

I was in Boston for a few days and my hotel was just around the corner from Skylight Jewelers so I walked past it several times a day and really liked some art glass in the window. I finally went in... Spencer was super nice and seemed knowledgeable of the art glass industry (which I know very well). Great conversation, he even knew the designer of my 21 yr old wedding ring- and polished it to its original glory for free, nice selection of items. I bought the two glass pieces and had them shipped to me in Portland, Oregon. I was a little nervous as they are quite fragile, but they arrived very well packed and in perfect shape. Go in this store being warned that you WILL find something you need! read more

My wife and I had our wedding rings made here, and we could not be happier. My ring is platinum with a patterned rose gold inlay that was very complex to forge. The metallurgy of putting gold inlay on a ring is not straightforward and the pattern is quite specific in its composition--also, I wanted it off-center. Spencer was able to achieve all of these things, and the result is magnificent. My wife's wedding band had a different set of challenges. Her engagement ring is a vintage ring (~90-100 years old) with intricately detailed engraving all around, and her hands are delicate. In addition to his own depth of skill, his workshop and extended network are also deeply talented--he was able to find an engraver who could properly, and beautifully, replicate the vintage engraving from the engagement ring for the wedding band. They match perfectly. In addition to the pure skill of his craftsmanship, Spencer has an incredible sense of artistic aesthetics. He intuitively understands what types of shapes best complement what types of hands and fingers. And he really listened to us throughout the process. I am still amazed that he was able to create these rings that embody so much in terms of personal stylistic preferences. He was able to craft a wedding band for my wife that did justice to her slender delicate hands, and he was able to forge a ring that makes my pudgy, padded Vienna Sausage fingers somehow look graceful. Lastly, the prices he charged were no more than at any other place we looked at but, in our opinion, the quality of the craftsmanship and the level of service he offered us was unparalleled. People like Spencer are part of an ever-diminishing class of true craftsmen. The opportunity to have our rings made by him is something I will always appreciate. read more

This jewelry shop has everything I'm looking for: family-owned; local; personal and personable service; and a unique selection of jewelry. The owner creates many of the pieces in his shop. I also love that he uses gems you normally wouldn't see in a "typical" (in other words, boring) jewelry shop. His moonstone necklaces and rings are keeping me saving, penny by penny, for the day I can walk in and buy one. I always stop by or at least slow down when I pass by this shop. You should, too! read more

A wonderful jewelry store. While I wasn't shopping for anything particular, Spencer (I think?) was able to clean my ring. He did a great job, took only a minute, and it was free. I overheard him advising another customer; he was very attentive, patient, and not pushy at all. The pieces he makes are gorgeous too and very well-crafted. Would definitely come back if I was looking to add a new piece to my collection or if I wanted something custom-made! read more

I had my wedding ring made here. Spencer does great custom work and will work closely with you to match your budget.

Spencer custom made my beautiful engagement ring and I couldn't be happier with the result. He is meticulous, detail oriented, truly an artist, and will go the extra mile to ensure you're satisfied. His staff are warm and friendly and there is zero sales pressure!! His rates are more than reasonable. It's clear that Spencer is truly passionate about his craft and is darn good at what he does! Recommended with no reservations. I'll be back to have the wedding bands made! read more

Skylight Jewelers - I love my custom made engagement ring :) - Jewelry Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My husband selected Skylight for my engagement ring because of the beautiful designs and high quality rings. We had our wedding bands custom designed and made by Spencer, and this was one of the best parts of the whole wedding planning process. He worked with our budget and came up with rings that we absolutely love. It was a great experience. read more

Very knowledgeable staff and beautiful pieces. They can also make you anything that you'd like. I was staying at the Omni and needed my ring cleaned and happened to pop in. I've passed their info to my friends who are looking for their wedding bands. I was impressed by their designs and enjoyed their friendliness. read more

Don't usually write reviews, but this place deserves it. Took my opal ring in to get a couple emeralds replaced and tightened, was done about a week later. It looks so much better than before and it was very reasonably priced. Spencer was super helpful the whole time and made everything so easy. Will definitely be back in the future if I ever need something to do with jewelry done again! read more

I go to museums to look at jewelry around the world, but I buy jewelry in Boston from Spencer. The best things I own are his work.

I had our wedding bands made here. They turned out awesome! Spencer is very thoughtful, listens to ideas, and made our bands just as we envisioned them with his own custom flair. I would not hesitate to recommend Skylight Jewelers to anyone looking for custom or unique jewelry. read more

Excellent for custom design or the search for something unique. Spencer is an artist as well as magnificently skilled jeweler. He can work with you to make something very unique within your budget. Recently, I asked him to design and create a ring and explained my vision. He used some of my "old" jewelry that I could not use any more and incorporated that into my newly designed ring which I love and can wear everyday! Magic! read more

I brought in an old, damaged ring (it had belonged to my girlfriend's grandmother) with lots of intricate detailing all over. I asked Spencer to fix the original and then create a replica of it. He did an amazing, amazing job. My girlfriend (now fiance!) couldn't believe the accuracy with which he'd created the replica ring: one of the only ways to tell them apart is the very shallow setting the older ring had. Spencer was communicative, friendly, and helped me make something really really special for my proposal. read more

I won't buy jewelry from anyone else. Beyond the pieces in his gallery, Spencer will design your own custom pieces. I don't live in Boston so we correspond via email and phone, and Spencer sends snapshots of wax models until it's exactly what you're looking for. He does beautiful pieces in 18K and 20K gold, and with any kind of stone. If you can't make it to the store, check out his blog for more examples of his work. read more
