Landmark Jewelers went above and beyond to make my fiance and I happy! I am so thrilled we went with Mimi and Sarah. My fiance and I wanted to take the stones from his grandmother's ring and create something that was more my style. My goal was to have something beautiful without breaking the bank. Every step of the way my fiance was kept in the loop as they were crafting the ring, and their goldsmith was phenomenal!
There was a weekend where we stopped in and another customer (whose budget was way bigger than ours) came in. We were treated with just as much care and attention as they were. It really goes to show that going local is the best way to go, and these ladies are amazing! I know that we will definitely be repeat customers and I'm so happy we decided to go with them.

If you are looking for a friendly, expert, comfortable "neighborhood" type jewelry store, you'll be very happy with Landmark. I visited them recently, after stopping at a couple of Twin Cities "elite" jewelers (that made my skin crawl), and was very happy with the caring and patient interaction I had with Sarah and her crew. Highly recommend visiting Landmark if you are interested in honest and helpful conversation about your unique jewelry needs!

Over the top friendly. You won't feel pressured and ripped off like you would from the big box jewelry stores in the mall. Everything in the store is unique 6 stars

Not your typical jewelry store in the best sense possible! If you are looking for pushy, uncaring salespeople then this is not the place for you- the staff here goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease and allows you to look around without the pressures of buying. They care about your individual story and truly want to form a relationship with you. Sarah (the owner) is an absolute gem and worth asking to help you! She knows her jewelry inside and out and wants to pass her expertise onto you to find you the best piece possible! Street parking can be challenging, but there are plenty of parking garages around.

My fiance just bought my engagement ring from Landmark and worked with Kathleen. She was so wonderful when helping him out in choosing a beautiful estate ring for me. After he proposed (and I said 'yes'), I contacted Kathleen to ask her a few questions about my ring. Kathleen expressed so much joy in our engagement and getting to work with my fiance and her excitement at our love for each other made us feel so special.
Her service was fantastic and she took the time to find out the details and history of the estate engagement ring. Not only that, she mailed us a certificate she was able to locate for the diamond, and wrote us a lovely card to congratulate us once again. She and her team were superb and I imagine we'll be back again at some point to purchase future pieces. Thank you so much for your support and service!
