This was our first time with a jeweler and Rachel was the best. She was very personable, great energy, and really excited for us. I appreciate her not pushing us in any direction or trying to solely sell. She gave us advice when we asked by simply listening. As a first timer, I'd wouldn't go anywhere else.

My fiance and I had a great experience designing a custom engagement ring with Rachel. Argo & Lehne has access to a great assortment of gemstones. We had several appointments with Rachel and found the perfect sapphire. She was able to quickly come up with a CAD that reflected exactly what I wanted. The ring is just how I imagined it in my mind. I'd recommend Argo & Lehne for anyone looking for custom or gemstone engagement rings!

I brought in some jewelry from my grandmother-in-law's estate to understand the fair-market value and what we had. Many thanks to Bob, Michelle, Brandon, and the rest of the team for their assistance. They were incredibly helpful and provided information that will help my in-laws decide how to move forward with the jewelry. I look forward to returning as a customer.

Rachel and the team at Argo and Lehne went above and beyond to help us get our perfect engagement ring. It was a dream come true. Rachel was very personable, kind and exceeded our expectations. We were supposed to get the ring at a different jeweler and just stopped into Argo and Lehne just to see, and we're so glad we did! They made us feel like family and kept us in the loop every step of the way.
They never rushed us and made us feel like we were the most important people there. I have recommended Rachel to everyone I know and will continue to do so. She did a fantastic job. She listened to what we were looking for and went beyond that. Thanks again Rachel! We're so happy and the experience was wonderful! We are lifetime guests now- we'll always come to Argo and Lehne for our jewelry for now on.
