Couple of weeks before Christmas 2023 I stopped in Hudson's to have my rings looked at. While I am…read morewaiting, I spotted the prettiest Ruby ring and asked if I could look at it. I put it on and fell in love. The wonderful salesperson at Hudson's talked with me about the ring I thanked them and gave them their ring back. There was no high-pressure sales tactics, and the salesperson was so very nice. A couple weeks later I called to see if they still had the ring, and to my good fortune they did. I talked with the salesperson again and asked if I could put it on layaway, all the while chatting about life in general with all the salespeople and the owner. The owner informed me that a family member just had a kidney transplant that morning and I felt an overwhelming joy for the young man which brought me to tears. I explained to the Owner and sale staff (I was the only one in the store as they were getting ready to close) that I had lost my kidney and spleen in a horrible accident a few years back. As we all talked, I did not notice the owner, or my salesperson disappear to the back of the store. It was getting late, so I asked how much I needed to put down on the layaway, the salesperson started doing something on the register I gave him my card and he handed me the receipt. The total was 1 Cent! I was confused I started to ask questions when the owner came out from the back and handed me the Ruby ring. At first, I was confused until the owner told me that the ring was a gift from them!! I burst into tears and ugly cried for a while. The owner and I hugged, and I kept saying thank you thank you. After many happy tears were spilled and hugs were given and conversation, I headed to my car to head home. I was feeling very Blessed that evening and even today when I look down and see the ruby on my finger, I know that there are still good, people in the world. Thank you, Hudson Jewelry, for making my Christmas Bright! If you are looking for a jewelry store with no high-pressure sales tactics and true compassion for others, please stop in and look around the jewelry is exquisite, but the staff is really what makes Hudson shine!

No hello or greeting from him. He just stared at me. I showed him my watch, and he got snippy with me and said, "What do you want ME to do?". He said he didn't have the tools to take the pins out and I should go somewhere else. (They obviously have the tools to do this, as it's an ordinary watch with pin links. He just didn't want to do it.) Will do, sir. You should treat your customers better. I will never go here again or recommend them to anyone. What a jerk.

When I was here, I saw some beautiful handmade jewelry and bought a necklace and a ring. Jim sized the ring for me at no additional cost. He didn't even charge me for cleaning and inspecting my rings. I received several compliments on my new jewelry and I will most certainly go back here. The studio is open only a few days a week so make sure you call ahead and make an appointment. It is worth your time even you're driving from St. Louis. Prices are fair and if you buy the same jewelry at an art fair, you will pay a lot more. I wish I had discovered this place sooner.

The repair of a family engagement ring was awesome. It was gorgeous again. Sizing a ring? It will be perfect. They have the skill to turn a tired old watch into a work of art. I even traded some old jewelry for really beautiful jewelry, and some just needed buffing to make them shine and sparkle. Any work you want done should begin here. Best quality at a fair price and always great advice.

I visited Elliott Jewelers many times for work on my jewelry prior to the time the current owner,…read moreDoug, took over the business. I can't say enough good things about the elder Mr Elliott who is now retired. Once Doug became the owner, I continued to bring jewelry in for repair and bought four bracelets and three pair of earrings in about a two year span of time. Overall, I was satisfied. However, I then had to have several of my rings sized, and when I picked up the rings, the gold band was made so thin, the rings are no longer strong enough for daily wear. That highly annoyed me, and I should have complained, but I never want to cause a problem, so I just planned on taking them somewhere else at a later date for repair. The final straw was when my husband's wedding ring lost a diamond and the band had bent out of shape slightly over time. Doug charged us $369 for a tiny diamond that we later found out from another jeweler was a $25 stone. Ouch! What a rip off! In addition, Doug left the gold so thin, after my husband wore his ring ONCE the thin gold twisted completely out of shape and is completely unwearable. In addition, we had paid extra for some etching to be done that was originally on the ring but had worn off. He didn't put any etching on the ring even though we paid for it. So basically we paid him close to $400 to repair and resize a ring and are left with a piece of junk gold that can't be worn or used for anything. I'm extremely upset about all of that, not to mention the sentimental value of my husband's wedding ring which he can no longer wear, 30 years into our marriage. I would give the Elliott's a chance to fit it and make it right, but my husband is so upset he doesn't want to contact them. If they cared even a tiny bit, they never would have done such a horrendous job on the ring in the first place. My advice is to go ANYWHERE else.
