Jim and Tony as well as the entire staff are wonderful. They provide a terrific environment and are so easy to work with. I came in for custom work and Jim was able to help with exactly what I was looking for at a great price. I would highly recommend Taylor Made to anyone looking for a jeweler.

Jim far exceeded my expectations in designing my new diamond ring! He was patient working with me as I wasn't sure what I wanted. He is very creative and a pleasure to work with! If you want a "one of a kind" piece of jewelry, Jim is the one to be trusted!

Wonderful experience in replacing my original 43 year old wedding ring with a new one. No high pressure selling here. Just friendly and professional associates offering great advice. This store has a nice selection of high quality merchandise in all price points. This has been my "go to" jewelry store for years.

My fiance visited Taylor Made in September and bought me the most beautiful engagement ring! Recently I noticed a stone was missing from my ring and gave them a call and they told me to drop it off at my convenience and they would get it fixed up for me! I dropped it off on a Wednesday evening and by Thursday morning they had my stone reset and were giving me a call to pick it up! Absolutely AMAZING staff and impeccable customer service! I am so thrilled we have found our forever jeweler! I will never step foot into another jewelry store again! Thank you Taylor Made! Can't wait to shop with you in the future!

Taylor Made Jewelry is top notch by far. I've been coming here for a number of years and you can't beat their personalized service. They listen to your needs and go beyond to find the right fit for you in price and of course quality. I never leave disappointed and it's so lovely to have everyone make you feel right at home. Look no further. This is the place. We now drive 2 hours to get customized service. Worth the drive and all of my time. Thank you Taylor Made

I've had these lovely people repair jewelry for me several times. They have always answered my questions and are very welcoming. I trusted them with family heirloom repairs and the work they did was outstanding. I recommend them to all my family and friends
