Calvin's is a fantastic local jewelry store! My husband and I had a photo of an antique engagement ring that I had fallen in love with and wanted to try to replicate for my own engagement ring. When we brought the photo to Calvin's to see if it was possible to recreate, their staff assured us that they would be able to create a custom engagement ring very similar to the antique ring I loved so dearly.
Catherine helped us through the entire process and she is fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, so nice and she never made us feel pressured. The ring was created in less than a month during their busiest time of year - the holidays. When my husband proposed and I saw the ring for the first time I was thrilled, it turned out exactly like the antique ring! We purchased our bands from Calvin's as well and again had a wonderful experience. Every few months or so I go back to have my rings cleaned which they offer complimentary to their customers. I love, love, love my ring and I receive complements on it all the time! I highly recommend Calvin's for all of your jewelry needs and especially for their custom work!
Pros: Amazing service and craftsmanship!
Cons: Can't think of any...

As we stood in Kruger's doorway to shield ourselves from the cold at the Thanksgiving Day Parade, my 6 year old grandson saw the beautiful boxes displayed in Kruger's windows and stated how much his mother would love that "TREASURE BOX" for Christmas. TIme passed and on Christmas Eve, I said, "it's Christmas Eve, Matthew, aren't you excited?" He said "No" and started crying. He had not been able to buy the "TREASURE BOX" that he knew his mother would love for Christmas. I didn't have much cash that year, but when my grandson still remembered that box 5 weeks later and was sad because he wasn't able to "give" something so special - I was going to buy it any cost. Quickly we called to make sure Kruger's was open and they still had the beautiful jewelled boxes - they did. We rushed downtown as fast as we could, Matthew emptied his piggy bank on the way, I let him do is own talking and as he pulled his own money out of his pocket, I walked back across the store pulling out my own wallet to pay the difference when a "Kruger" held up his hand to stop me. He continued talking to Matthew as he counted out $1.27 total and together they wrapped up the box and Matthew finished his transaction. The actual price on the box was $65.00. This was the most beautful act of kindness and compassion I'd ever seen at Christmas. Matthew hugged his gift for his mother all the way home and carefully put it under the tree. It was his happiest Christmas ever. To be able to give his mom, the one he loved the most, the most beautful, jewelled, golden box ever was something Matthew will remember forever. This has become "Our Christmas Box Story". Thank you again, Mr. Kruger for a gift that keeps on giving and will never be forgotten.

I am very pleased with my experience at Whitefire. I went there to see what options I had for altering my heirloom diamond engagement ring to better fit my taste. Joseph was very helpful and knowledgable and was able to do exactly what I wanted with the ring at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Whitefire!

Why are there only 5 stars on Citysearch, when there should be 10 for Gallerie Jewelers? Ted and Corey were absolutely amazing to work with. Ted worked with me patiently for 7 months on designing the perfect ring for my stone. He never rushed me. I kept changing my mind, and he kept being patient with me. He was always so kind and so patient. Maybe his real name is Job? Anyway, I am eternally grateful for Gallerie Jewelers and how they treated me like family. I have never left this stone with any jeweler, but Ted showed me the unique characteristics of the stone under the microscope before I left it for him to set, then again when it was set. If you are looking for the perfect jeweler, look no further. Thank you Ted and Corey!
Pros: Master jeweler & designer
Cons: n/a

I researched engagement rings for several months. This jeweler was in the top 10% of lowest prices for diamonds I found. Very fair prices. We got an antique ring customized/replicated there, and it turned out great.
They accomadated our tight schedule during the holidays, and fully met our expectations.
Pros: Service, Price, Quality, Low Appraisal Cost
Cons: No warranty available on our customized product

I did many searches around town and on the internet and didn't find anything that came close to the service that I received at Benold's. Every time I went in the staff was attentive and helpful and they helped me find exactly what I wanted. Special thanks to Milton who spent a good deal of time with me helping make my decision.
Pros: extremely knowledgeable and patient staff, great prices
Cons: none

Jimmy Kruger and his staff are all incredibly nice, caring people who really strive to provide you the best service possible. They have everything from watches to diamonds to everything in between. My husband bought my wedding ring here and I am constantly getting compliments on it. I also bought my bridesmaids beautiful, handmade, custom earrings from Kruger's and they love them. They wear them all of the time! Every time I go to Kruger's I find at least 5 different things I want. And all of the salespeople there are knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. They are never stuffy or condescending. I'm pretty young (only 24) and I've been to other jewelry stores where I've had the displeasure of receiving unpleasant treatment because of my age. I have never had that kind of unfortunate response from anyone at Kruger's. They recognize each shopper as a special person and treat everyone who comes in their door with respect. I've received handwritten notes and coupons in the mail from them. And every time I go in, they recognize me and are welcoming. My husband and I will be loyal Kruger's shoppers for the rest of our lives.
PS- I should add that I never review anything unless I'm extraordinarily impressed. Also, my usual salesperson is Angela. My sister went with me to see her today and marveled at how nice she was. Angela spent an hour showing me 10 different items, wrote them all down for me so I could show my husband, and cleaned my rings for free. She's absolutely great!
Pros: excellent customer service and great prices

Despite past experience in this particular boutique, it is always worth another try because the selection is the perfect blend b/t high fashion and independent cool. The shoes, hello! Since the implementation of new ownership and an energized staff, the store has finally not only met, but exceeded, the expectations of what an Austin run and owned business should be. With new shopping alternatives popping up every time I turn around, I have to say that this is what I wanted it to be all along... awesome with impeccable customer service. My last experience in the store left me with a positive buzz, maybe even a new friend! And an entire bag-full of goodies! Gimme gimme more!!
Pros: Excellent customer service, perfect shopping experience for a fashionista
Cons: It's always busy! Just try to find parking, and only two fitting rooms...

Lin who is the owner of American Blue Diamonds actually sent me two rings to compare and paid all the shipping and insurance for both of them. I was able to compare both rings and choose the one I wanted for my wedding ring. I will continue to use American Blue Diamond as my only jewelery store even though I am thousands of miles away!
Thank you!

I read about Lovely Austin on tidbits this morning. I've had a few pieces in my closet that I've been thinking of putting on ebay, until I went and talked to the owner of the boutique. Once I walked in and saw their immaculate store with its beautiful clothes, I knew that I would have a much better chance of getting my money back on my purchases if I sold through them. After putting my items into consignment, I couldn't help but be lured into browsing around. Well, it was most worth it. I ended up buying a beautiful double strand pearl necklace from the 1950s at such a low price that I couldn't believe they were real. I will most definitely be back.
Pros: Amazing Customer Service
