Walters I have a real friend in the jewelry business. His…read morename is Chris, and he works at Walter's Jewelers. I met him when I took in some old jewelry after a parent's death. "Is this real gold? Are these real pearls?" I also brought in some of my jewelry. Chris was super helpful. He helped identify costume jewelry vs real gold, synthetic stones, etc. I was able to decide what I wanted to keep based on sentimental and monetary value. Chris used his expertise to: clean jewelry, restring an old set of pearls, repair a small chain, replace a broken clasp, put batteries in my watches, etc. I was so impressed with Chris, I asked if he could redesign my wedding band, which had inset diamonds, très masculine. Chris sent me digital mockups of designs, so I could see exactly what my ring would be. The result is a stunner. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. We also worked with Chris on a ring for a family member's special day. It took several visits to find just the right stone and setting, and now the ring will be a one of a kind that will last generations. Chris, his brother Jeff, Connie, and Tom--all of whom helped me during a visit or worked on my jewelry--have all worked at Walters for decades. The family business has been around for 94-95 years. They know their stuff. I like knowing that I'm patronizing a business that's investing in quality products and people rather than quantity advertising. Oh, and they have parking in the back of their shop, off Monroe Street. Nice.

Genovese Jewelers did such great work us on a ring a little over a year ago. We went back a few…read moreweeks ago to have them do something with another ring! My aunt left me a ring. It had a really pretty stone, but it didn't fit me and wasn't my style. We worked with Rich and after discussing what I did and didn't like, we came up with a plan. We went the following week to pick it up and I didn't love it. It was well made, and what we had discussed, but it just wasn't right. So we talked about it and came up with a few new ideas. We finally landed on a new plan! It was ready in a little less than a week. And it's perfect! We've now worked with a few different people there. They're knowledgeable, creative, friendly, patient, and want you to be happy with the jewelry you purchase or have made. Their service is top tier! I highly recommend checking them out!

The customer service, knowledge of the staff, selection of pieces, and ability to do custom work is truly elite compared to my experiences in other stores. Jennifer was my sales representative and Nikki was my jeweler who did the custom work. They were both kind, patient, and attentive while responding to my many questions. It's truly a small thing but they also have great memories and will mention things that I said in passing at prior visits. The store has selections of estate pieces as well as many new items. I just really could not have had a better experiences and am so grateful to have found the store. I fully plan to continue my magpie ways and be a lifelong customer here.
