This is a really very special place for me. Randy (owner), Mike ( excellent sales) and Carl (does wonders with jewelry repair, cleaning, size or anything else you need done to make magic happen with your purchases) are ALL WONDERFUL and are true REAL People! I have found them to be honest when you are buying and not trying to CON you about the jewelry you are buying. They tell it like it is:) I have not been recently or been to the new building, but I already know if I was purchasing jewelry; this the first place I would start! They give excellent pricing, quality products, and they do appraisals on anything you buy. They offer a wide assortment of jewelry. Low end to the very top. There is something for everyone. Please stop by and just look. I am certain you will come out with something. Celia Herron read more

I stopped into Tidewater Diamond with a necklace whose clasp had broken (and I hadn't even bought it there). Will and another team member helped me right away, took it to their jeweler, and had it fixed within minutes. What impressed me most was that they wouldn't let me pay--just genuine kindness. Afterward, Will showed me around the showroom and immediately picked up on my jewelry style. The whole team was professional and welcoming - I'll definitely be back. read more

I have always had a great experience at Tidewater Diamond. The service is consistently excellent each visit. I had come to have a pair of vintage earrings appraised. I was greeted by Camille Knight when I walked in and she was exemplary. She was extremely helpful and professional while evaluating my earrings. Even though I did not make a purchase, I felt like a valued customer and I will return to make future purchases. She even went the "extra mile" by professionally cleaning the earrings! I highly recommend Tidewater Diamond. read more

My husband has needed his ring resized for about 3 years now. So finally came across this jeweler on a whim, we went in. Honestly you wouldn't think to use them off the bat because of overall location. BUT, you walk in and get individualized service, way better than any commercial stores. Carl helped us when we came in, Mike helped when I came for pick-up. Both were friendly and phenomenal. The time it took was also impressive and done in house. It took an impressive TWO days versus 2-3 weeks with commercial stores. To top all of that off, they cleaned MY ring while I was there! Amazing!!!! read more

Amazing service provided by Will today! This place has a huge selection and is a great place to visit for any jewelry gift needs. 10/10 for me. read more

The staff and management at Tidewater Diamond are top notch, and their inventory is nothing short of impressive. On a days notice I took several pieces I've bought over the years to have them cleaned, and one purchased elsewhere to get repaired and Rand prioritized doing so for me as if I were the only customer in the store (while chatting with and giving attention to everyone simulataneously). While in the store, I inquired about an opal "mother's ring", and ended up purchasing a ring and matching necklace completely of my own accord with zero pressure from the store at a price I could not argue with. I was offered coffee and water multiple times, and truly felt like the store was focused on my experience being one I'd never forget. 10 out of 10 recommend. read more

Tidewater Diamond - White gold ring & necklace with diamonds and opal stone center piece. - Jewelry Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I came in on a Tuesday afternoon in hopes of getting some information on how to make an old ring new again. I have a diamond ring with a yellow band that I want to put on a white gold band. I was helped by Rand who was very very helpful, informative and courteous with me the whole time. While he inspected my ring to get an evaluation on it, he also was super nice enough to clean my 3 diamond bands and inspect them for me. He gave me an evaluation of how much it would be to replace my yellow gold band with a white gold band. I will definitely come back here to have them do this service for me. They also had many selections of gorgeous jewelry so I would make sure to come here for any type of jewelry you want. I suggest you do the same! Also, just for checking in on Yelp, they give you a free watch battery!! read more

Always my go to when I have jewelry to sell. It was a busy day but my teenage daughter and I spent time with her trying on all the rings. He walked me though the steps of the process on how they determine the value and even let me see under the microscope to explain further. It was very educational and informative, not just selling a piece of jewelry. read more

After bringing in my husbands watch, I decided to bring in the rest of my jewelry. I wish I had before photos so you could see how incredible they did!They all look brand new. My silver Greek key ring was resized, my husbands platinum ring was reshaped and buffed, and my Diamond ring had a small Diamond replaced on the band. I was so relieved to get them back in such great shape! The last place I took my ring to (in South Carolina) they did such a poor job. It came back with polish still stuck on it, and their poor work on resizing my ring is what caused me to loose a Diamond in the first place! So glad Tidewater Diamond is better! read more

Rand and his team are absolutely fantastic!! customer service is second to none! I've been coming here for years and I'll never shop anywhere else! We recently brought in my wife's engagement ring and wedding band that was custom made 20 years ago by someone else. A few stones kept falling out so we needed a Solution. Rand suggested we have the ring remade in platinum instead of white gold. We were very nervous about literally scraping a very special ring and hoping he could made it look the same. I'm now suspicious that they have a cloning machine in the back because visually I couldn't tell the difference!! It feels so much more solid and now I know it will last for generations!! Don't be a be a schmuck, go to Tidewater Diamond!! read more

I came from out of town from Detroit and I went I went to Tidewater diamond to get some jewelry the owner was rude. The other were rude. are too high and they don't like African-Americans. They put them store. read more

I spent months trying to find the right jeweler. I eventually turned to Facebook and the most common vote from the local mom group was Tidewater Diamond. My plan was to just upgrade my existing set but I ended up with the MOST gorgeous brand new set. I am absolutely in love with it. Not only that, my existing set was made into a mother's ring using my kids birthstones. It's so special to me because I didn't have to stop wearing my existing ring. Ryan and his staff are top notch, everyone is kind and friendly. My knowledge on jewelry is limited and that was obvious but no one tried to take advantage of that. No one pressured me at any point which was extremely refreshing. The turnaround time was very quick (even for someone as impatient as myself) and they stand behind their work. I have reported back to the Facebook group and after posting pictures, I think more customers will be on their way! Thank you for giving me my dream rings! read more

Had the best experience finding my fiancé's wedding band at Tidewater Diamond. Mike was kind, genuine, and resourceful! He found us a great deal on a beautiful band that matched my set perfectly. Will be doing business here again! read more

I had never been into Tidewater Diamond before but when I walked in I was immediately wowed! They have a great selection of watches and unique jewelry. We used Tidewater Diamond to resize rings for my daughters cheer team. The customer service I received was nothing short of AMAZING! Not only did they complete the repairs and the rings are perfect, but the work was completed in half the time they promised. It's clear from the moment you walk in the store the Tidewater Diamond team will treat you like family! read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give them a call because I was in need of jewelry cleaning services. I'm so glad I did! I came in and they were very friendly. After dropping off my pendent that was very tarnished from being stored in my wallet, I decided to browse their inventory. They have a lot to choose from and if it's not in their showroom, they have catalogues to go through. When I came back to pick up my pendent it looked brand new I was so amazed. I will definitely be purchasing my daughters cross necklace from them! It's worth to note that they moved locations and are at 440 Battlefield Blvd N Chesapeake, VA 23320 (Near the intersection of kempsville and battlefield) read more

Went and sold a ring that I really didn't want to but had to. The gentleman who helped me was very personable and explained the whole process as he did it. He showed me where he got the numbers as to how he found out how much he would buy my ring for. If I had to sell again, I would definitely do it with him and this company again. Hard to find when you first look for it but now I'm good! read more

Was greeted immediately upon entering the store. James was very polite and professional. Very straightforward and transparent, they do everything right in front of you! Highly recommend. read more

A great place to buy and sale silver/gold! Fair prices and great customer service. I highly recommend them!

I only trust my jewelry to be handled by Tidewater Diamond. I have had several custom pieces made and my husband has been instructed to only look at the estate jewelry to buy me. Where else can you find art deco jewelry? Don't waste your time at over priced jewelry stores! Go to Tidewater Diamond, you won't regret it!!! read more

Unreasonable prices for watch battery replacement, very pushy sales people as well desperate to make a sale to anyone, reminded me of used car salesman. Go to long jewelers instead, decent price for watch battery replacement and no complaints from the sales staff either. read more

I stopped by their place a few days ago. I had just inherited a gorgeous diamond ring. It was from the 1920-1930's. I wanted to know more about it, so I figured they would probably be as good as anybody else. I handed my ring to a woman that was working there that day, and she gave the ring to the gentleman in the back who does all of the repair work. I'm not sure what she said to him but about five minutes later he came out and he offered me $125 for the ring. I told him I was not there to sell it that I just wanted more information on the it. He told me two rows of the diamonds were unusual because they're the old cut European diamonds that you don't see anymore. He also told me it was only 10 karat gold, and I knew that was not true. Anyhow, to make a long story short, I ended up taking the ring to a reputable jewelers and getting a appraisal on it. The ring appraised for $6500. It's all 18 karat gold and the diamonds are exquisite they told me. I will never step foot into this store again. The reviews are all over the place. I guess it depends on who you get that particular day. Terrible, terrible place. Be very cautious. They should rename their place, Tidewater & Crooks Diamonds. read more

I bought a gorgeous diamond and sapphire ring from an estate store in Charleston that needed resizing. It was a super tiny 3 3/4 (whose finger is that small?!?) that needed to be a 10 (yes, like everything else about me my fingers are big). I didn't realize I was asking a lot but I quickly realized not all jewelers resize in platinum or in house. After doing some research I rang TD on a Friday evening and was told to bring it by Saturday morning and if lucky, I might have it back same day. I've had many rings resized and have NEVER had them back the same day and certainly not something done in platinum. Hubby and I rolled up around 10:30 Saturday morning and was quoted a price and advised it might be done before the day was out. I didn't really expect much because of my past experiences with other jewelers and ring resizing but I'll be danged if they didn't call back at 1:30 letting me know my ring was ready. I was pleasantly shocked and super pleased with not only the blazingly fast turn around time, but the quality of the resizing and the customer service. I have other items that need repair and I'll be bringing all my business here. Thanks so much! read more

Tidewater Diamond - The finished product - Jewelry Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I needed to get 3 watch batteries and I looked at reviews of jewelers near me. Tidewater Diamond was on the top of my list with all their stars. Oh my goodness I am so glad I went to Tidewater Diamond!! Not only did they put the batteries in the watches but they were nice enough to do it right then. I know that is unusual because 3 watches takes awhile. And the price was much less than I expected. Each person that I talked to made me feel like family. They treated me very well, and I didn't have any of my jewelry or make up on. Didn't matter, I was listened to like they really cared what I had to say. It is a family atmosphere with everyone looking out for each others client. Their products are very beautiful and I found out I can bring them a picture of what I want and they can make it for me. Talking to them, I found out they are out of the box thinkers and they love to have new things to make. They also said I could bring in my old gold jewelry and they could give me a price to buy it or a trade in price to get something else. Now when I come across something I like on the internet, I will see what they have to say first. The personal touch is the best here. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for the past few weeks. I really can't describe how happy I was to get my ring from Tidewater Diamond! The ring is absolutely gorgeous. I reached out to Tidewater because I saw a friend's ring that was stunning. I had to find out where she got it and try to do the same. My fiance worked with Scott, one of the owners, and he described the buying experiences as easy, stress free, informative...and the end result was just what I wanted. Scott walked him through the options to help my fiance turn what was in his head to what ended up on my finger. He helped us get the most bling for our buck. I've had my ring for about 6 weeks now and I love it more each day. Honestly, it's more than I expected. At first I thought the diamonds would be a little big for my small hands, but I'm actually loving all that sparkle and loving all the compliments I get every day. I would recommend Scott and Tidewater Diamonds over and over again. I'm already thinking about what I can buy next :) Just an side note...... Our entire purchase was done over the phone and via email. So, folks who are out of town should also consider them. read more

Attentive staff. No pressure. I was there to get a battery in my watch replaced and the lovely lady was happy to help me. While waiting for my watch repair. I got to view the cases and the Selection there is stunning. I Admired a unique period piece, a bracelet and earrings that remind me ancient roman style, something I'd see in a museum. The attendant was kind to place it on my wrist. It's was such a unique piece. I felt connected to it, I am still thinking about it. read more

Great people who work there. Nice jewelry @ great prices . Plenty to choose from. They also can fix jewelry that you need fixing

Carl is the only reason this review gets one star. He's the only one that cared and treated me like I had value. This was the second time I've been to this shop for work and left wondering "why did I even bother?" I went into the store with some priceless pieces and an idea, but I left with absolute disappointment. I wanted a new wedding ring made from my grandfathers jewelry and my wedding band and was told it was doable and would take 2 weeks to complete. I was ghosted for 6 weeks and lied to, got less than I asked for (and less than I walked in with) and was treated like they were doing me a favor. I now have priceless mementos that were reduced to a piece of costume jewelry that's almost embarrassing to wear. But hey, at least I have a half-assed reminder of why not to go here again. Fool me twice, shame on me. read more

I took some unwanted gold/diamond jewelry I wasn't sentimental about to Tidewater Diamond and not only did they offer about 30% more than a nearby well known pawn shop, they had so much cute jewelry that I ended up buying some new pieces I am crazy about. I am really glad I found this place and I will definitely be back!! Great cash for gold experience without the skeezy pawn shop feeling!! read more

I sold some heirloom jewelry to pay for my cat's emergency surgery. I was impressed with how knowledgeable, professional, and helpful they were. Fortunately, my cat is doing great! They also have some very nice jewelry to purchase which I noticed in the showcases while my jewelry was being appraised. read more

Tidewater Diamond did an amazing job with my ring. I brought it in to have a new stone set and the prongs changed. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and quick with their service. I never felt pressured to buy at all. They also sized it for me and fixed a previous jeweler's heavy handed sizing job. I was impressed all around and would recommend them greatly! read more

Tidewater Diamond is an exceptional high end and quality jewelry store!! When you walk into this jewlery store you inset toy realize this store is different. It's gorgeously decorated in high end decor! Wall art, beautiful scrolled wall shelves and mirrors, and sparkling chandeliers! All the ladies that work in the store are so amazing aswell! Greet you with a real smile, enjoy their jobs, offer refreshments to you and your three year old daughter. They were informative, helpful, kind and played with my daughter. I can not say enough about how impressed I truly am with the owner, Ryan. He personally spent four hours with me after just getting back from an over night flight and had not even slept yet. He was so kind, friendly, informative, helpful, intuitive about my setting likes and dislikes. And patient!! I couldn't believe how long he had helped me and was hand selecting rings he thought I would like. We went through so many rings, he told me how he could take this or that from a ring I likes and combine it with a part I liked from another ring to create my ideal ring. He stood for hours helping a very indecisive and detail orientated women pick out and create her perfect ring set! He did not leave my side for one second until I had all the info I needed, questions answered and understood all his findings about the ring I brought in and about my dream engagement and wedding band setting. I was completely satisfied. But most importantly from the owner to the women who set the center stone on my ring set who came out to talk to me about it multiple times and answer my questions with a smile, they are GENUINE! Seriously will be telling everyone who likes, lives or tells me how gorgeous my new ring set is to go to Tidewater Diamond!! I will be definitely be a repeat customer for life! Anytime I need gifts, a new set of earrings, a necklace..Anything! Gabriel & Co. Fine Collections in the store are breathe taking and unlike anything I've ever seen! I could not be more elated and astonished by how beautiful my new ring set came out!! Thank You Ryan!! read more

Purchases used David Yurman from eBay, marks up price, and tries to sell in this store. If it doesn't sell, he comes back a month later and tarnishes the seller's profile and tries to get money back, accusing seller of selling a fake item. Item was inspected AT a David Yurman store. Spend your money somewhere with integrity. This guy is a scam artist. read more
