I can still remember my mom taking me to Collins Family Jewelers to pick up a jewelry repair over 30 years ago! Now that I'm older with a family of my own, I still get items repaired here. This is a wonderful place to buy, sell, and repairs special jewelry pieces and they have an incredible track record that's hard to find in brick and mortar businesses these days. Their staff is always knowledgeable and courteous, and their family has been a staple in the community for decades now. Not only to I recommend their beautiful products, but I highly recommend their family business in general.

Wonderful, family owned business with beautiful pieces. Have been going here for years, since we purchased our wedding rings here in late 90's. The best place to get your child's ears pieced, as well.

The best jeweler in the SD area! My husband originally visted this jeweler to have a family diamond put in an engagement ring setting, and they did a beautiful job. We went on to purchase both of our wedding bands here. We were happy with the pricing and every staff member is so kind, patient, and helpful. We have since moved to a different state, and we had an issue with my husband's wedding band.
From a distance, Chelsea helped us through the warranty process, and sent us clear instructions in order to replace my husband's ring. I wish we were still local so we could come here to get our jewelry cleaned. We will give this amazing family company our business any chance we get.
