We are from New York I had a watch that needed the bank fixed when I stopped at 15 other jewelry shops they all had highly recommended this place. The gentleman Ken is the one who helped me he went over and above to fix my watch. I will absolutely recommend this place. Thank you again Ken for your service and be so kind. read more

Beautiful stone and he put in a new setting to secure the stone properly and at no charge. You won't regret a visit to his shop! Thanks again, Kirk read more

Ken crafted an absolutely perfect custom engagement ring and wedding band for us. He both listened to our desires and made expert suggestions and followed through with both professionalism and friendliness. Oh and his prices are actually better than bigger shops--you get more for less! The Quarter Smith is what all jewelers should aspire to be. Thank you Ken!!! read more

See all

Broke the clasp on my chain while visiting NOLA. Received excellent, service they were able to fix it right away within a few minutes while I waited for a very reasonable price. Definitely recommend for any repairs. They also had a beautiful selection of jewelry. read more

Ken made this ring you see here. I came in originally to have another ring sized, and he was the only person in town that was able to do it over night. Then I walked into the shop and saw this beauty. I originally thought that it would be just completely out of my price range, WRONG. He made the band silver for me and brought the ring up 2 sizes over night and the total cost was $540. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

The Quarter Smith - Jewelry Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Would give 10 stars if I could! Ken has got to be the best jewelry dealer in the new orleans area. Helpful, honest, and an all around nice guy. As for the previous review, the store looked empty because he packs up all of his stuff so its not stolen through the windows at night. And it's hard for him to make special appointments because he lives on the north shore. My husband bought my engagement ring there. He knew what he wanted it to look like and described it to Ken. Ken said ok and made the ring to order. He gave my husband the ring and told him to take it outside, look at it in the light. No diamond dealer I know would do that. I love my ring. Since then we've dealt with Ken a few times, each experience a great one. He was recommend by a friend who also loved working with him. I highly recommend him. read more

Fabulous, one of a kind and pieces, as well antique, estate and custom jewelry. Called ahead to get the hours as wanted to be sure they were open when I was in town. Hours are early, 7:30 to 2:30, Tuesday thru Friday. Perfect for New Orleans as parking is so much easier in the morning. Cannot say enough about this quaint, well established shop. NEW ADDRESS, just down from the original shop. Now at 519 ST LOUIS. All I can say is to stop in when your are in the French Quarter and meet the master goldsmith, Ken. Shop owner and bench jeweler all in one. Get something custom made or pick out from the cases. You will be glad you did! I am. Love my custom, hand-engraved criss. So New Orleans and looks like it is 100 years old, yet they made it for me. Saturdays by appt only. But heck, get there any way you can! read more

I saw Ken's gorgeous rose gold cross pendants on a visit to NOLA. I wasn't ready to buy at the time, but after arriving back home I had 'lack of buying" remorse. I called him to ask him to make one for me, he did it without even requesting a deposit. I received the pendant as promised on time, and it was more beautiful than I ever remembered, a true hand crafted piece. Ken has integrity and can be trusted to create a wonderful piece of jewelry for you! read more

This is a great shop. The owner is extremely helpful, and will do everything from taking a link out of a watch band, to modifying jewelry. I'll definitely be going back the next time I need something done. read more

I called Quarter Smith looking for antique or estate engagement rings and spoke with Ken. Since I don't live in the NOLA area, I asked about Quarter Smith's hours. Ken stated that his store is open from 7:30-2:30, Tues-Friday, but not on Saturdays. Since I wouldn't be able to get over there on a weekday, I asked if it would be possible to make a Saturday appointment. Ken laughed a little, as if this was a strange request, and said maybe, but that if I had an idea of what styles I was interested in, he would be happy to email pictures of any appropriate rings he had. I stated that I did know what I was looking for and described some styles to him. He asked me to send him an email with that information, anything else I could think of, and pictures of rings I liked from online or other stores. Since he seemed sincere, I went to the trouble of sending the email and pictures. He acknowledged my email, said he had some items that would interest me, and then I never hear from him again. ?!? I was in NOLA recently (having emailed Ken about a week before) so I stopped by his store and saw that it looked unused and nearly empty! When I got home, I checked the Quarter Smith website, which still appears well updated. However, the website states that the store is open from 9-4pm, Monday through Friday and Saturday by appointment. So what is the real story here? Beware this place, they will go out of their way to waste your time and are not at all interested in working around your schedule to serve you as a customer and make a sale. It's been at least a month and I've never heard from Quarter Smith. read more
