Editorial review from Citysearch 8/8/2014

I have been working with Jimmy, Helain, and the entire Continental family for years and years. Their service, sales, support, and attention to detail goes beyond expectations on multiple levels every time. They truly make you feel like family when you are in their store, on the phone, or even email. Their customer service is like no other and probably the best that I have ever received at any store / retail location in my entire life. The buying experience at Continental always exceeds my expectations. I am never uncomfortable while talking price because of their low pressure sales team. They truly want to help you meet your needs and budget vs selling you something. I have referred everyone I know to their store and will continue to. If you want the best Jewelry buying experience and a life long partnership please go see them. - Michael Libman more

Editorial review from Citysearch 3/17/2014

After 29 years of marriage, I decided it was time to 'refresh' my wife's wedding ring. The ring was purchased at Continental Diamond's original store in Uptown, Minneapolis. My wife Shelley and I worked with Ashley Warmbold to help bring to life my design for the new ring. Continental has a state of the art graphics design program which make the process fun and interactive. With some suggestions from Ashley we produced a wedding that better reflects our successful and happy marriage. Our thanks to Continental's owner Jimmy for the great service and friendship over all these years. And thanks to Ashley for her good cheer and expertise. more

My fiance and I worked with Ashley Warmbold to redesign my great grandmother's ring. From the first meeting through the sixth (!) Ashley was patient, accommodating and wonderful. As a slow decision maker, unsure of what I wanted my ring to look like, Ashley walked us through each redesign and ultimately created a design I am completely in love with. I cannot say enough positive things about the experience, I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for custom jewelry! more

Our experience at Continental Diamond has been incredible. Kayla has been there to help us with each of our jewelry purchases this past year. From Diamond earrings to our wedding rings she has shown us that amongst all of the choices there is that ""1"" perfect piece for us for whatever the occasion. I would highly recommend Continental Diamond to my family and friends! Thanks Kayla! more

I started working with Kayla 2+ years ago and keep coming back. She has been attentive and has gone above and beyond everytime. I even moved to Chicago and have been able to have her mail my jewelry to my door! I came to continental after shopping around for engagement rings in mpls and found continentals selection and prices were better than the competitors! Thanks guys! more

My fiance was referred to go to Continental Diamond and specifically worked with Judy Hlivka. He immediately felt 150% comfortable with her and valued her opinions, suggestions and was thankful for all her knowledge. He picked out a gorgeous ring and it was a no brainer we wanted to go back to work with Judy for buying our wedding bands. Thanks to Judy she made this experience one of the most memorable experiences we both have had with wedding planning. She stayed late to meet with us, was honest with her opinion, kept within our budget, and made buying our wedding bands not another thing on our ""to do"" list, but an experience that will forever bring a smile to my fiance and I. We were laughing and by the time we left the store we felt like she was part of our family. Judy is extremely knowledgeable and knows her jewelry. I HIGHLY recommend anyone who is looking at buying a piece of jewelry to stop in to see Judy Hlivka!!!! more

After a referral from my parents who have been long time customers of Carri, I contacted her for recommendations on having a custom ring done for the love of my life, and WOW does not even begin to explain how happy I am with the results! Ashley helped me design a one of a kind ring that put a smile on my face from ear to ear, and got it completed in a timeframe that is just unheard of! I now have every one of my (and my fiancés') female friends telling me that when it comes time for their boyfriends to go shopping for rings, I will be getting a call, and I know exactly where I will be taking them.....CONTINENTAL DIAMOND!!!!! THANKS AGAIN, YOU ARE THE BEST!\r more

Just amazing! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I was originally worried due to being young but I was treated as any other customer. I got my ring re-sized same day and actually within 5 hours. Prices of re-sizing are reasonable compared to other jewelry shops with same day service. I was very impressed that they can re-size rings at .25 intervals instead of just .5 intervals!! Also received a complementary cleaning solution at 8 oz! I will go back to them for any jewelry needs. Highly impressed and recommended! more

Jimmy, Jane and the crew at Continental Diamond are simply the best. They worked with my wife to create a fantastic new ring and wedding band after several years of marriage. We had a very specific, custom design in mind and we were able to create the ring of her dreams. The price was unbelievable and was only topped by the exceptional service. I have referred several people there and each one has been extremely satisfied.\r \r If you are in the market for jewelry head to Continental Diamond and you will not be disappointed. more

We will never shop anywhere else in the twin cities for jewelry! While The selection and value for the price cannot be beat, the real reason we love it so so much is the people. Tracy is our girl. She had such professional advice and really listened to what we were asking for. We felt so comfortable and never ever rushed or pressured. I also love going back there to have my jewelry cleaned. I feel like I belong there and am always welcomed. Thank you to Tracy and the staff at continental for making such a big purchase fun! more

As usual, I had a fantastic experience with Becky at Continental! My sister and I brought in a ruby and diamond bracelet to be resized, and started looking around at other things. My sister ended up buying not one, but two emerald and diamond rings!! And since the staff does not work on commission, there was no pressure from Becky to make us buy anything. I love this place, and have referred it often to friends. I highly recommend! more

Update: 11/6/12 - FAN FOR LIFE As you can see below, I was very disappointed with my experience at Continental Diamond. However, the saleswoman read my review and called to make amends. She didn't make excuses but rather was genuinely concerned about my experience. In life, we all make mistakes - I've made my share. Owning up to them and asking those wronged to forgive is a mark of great maturity and character. I've gone from not considering Continental for any future purchases to being a fan for life. Any place that has employees who genuinely care about their customers is a place that I want to frequent. Kudos to Continental for not only having employees that read their customers' reviews but having folks who take pride in their work and who are willing to make things right. I am a CHAMPION of Continental Diamonds now because repairing a mistake is worth way more to me than the cost of the mistake itself. more

I recently purchased a gorgeous rose gold diamond engagement ring from Continental Diamond. My fiance loves her ring and she cannot stop showing it off. The salesman, Spencer was great to work with. He and his team helped me find the perfect ring. Not once did I feel pressure to buy anything from anyone in the store, which made purchasing the ring from them an easy decision. I will be recommending that my friends contact Spencer and the staff at Continental Diamond. I look forward to going back for our wedding bands in the coming months. more

I went to Continental Diamond after a friend recommended them and I couldn't be happier. Kayla was great. She was very helpful and spent a lot of time talking about what my girlfriend would like and what my price range was. I checked out many of their competitors and CD was much more open and accomodating than the others. My fiance really loves her ring and we'll be going back to CD to get our wedding rings. Check out the other places to see the difference but Continental Diamond is the best. more

Great Service - Fabulous Ring! 5/23/2012

My husband wanted to buy my a diamond anniversary band for our 10 year anniversary. Many of our friend suggested we go to Continental Diamond. We are so glad we did! Kayla was a dream to work with. We really had no idea what we were looking for and she was so helpful. Never once felt pressure to buy and she was very knowledgable about diamond quality, metal quality, etc. It took about a month for me to decide what I wanted and I'm so happy with my new ring. It's absolutely beautiful! We will be back for all of our future jewelry purchases! more

Like buying it from your mom.... 5/6/2012

Working with Helain at Continental pretty much took 100% of the anxiety out of what was a very large purchase for me. I went to Continental to purchase an engagement ring. Helain took the time to educate me on my purchase. She also personally selected a variety of rings to help me choose, and helped me pick a real stunner. I stated what my budget was, and left confident that my budget went as far as it could possibly go. No sales pitch, attempt to up-sell, or other issues. They took great care of me, and I have a very happy bride-to-be. Like the headline, it's like buying from your mom. You'll be well taken care of too. more
