Yater is an outstanding jeweler. He completely restored and enhanced my husband's grandmother's engagement ring and made it so a band could fit under the ring, which was previously not possible. He custom designed a beautiful wedding band that would fit under the engagement ring, and we had so much fun picking out the loose stones for the band. The staff here is all extremely friendly and personable. We are very happy with our experience working with Yater and highly recommend Yater for all your jewelry needs.

I went in as someone trying to buy an engagement ring with no knowledge of engagement rings. Mark Yater took the time to help me design an incredible ring that gets compliments from everyone. And it was in the budget I set!

Nothing like taking care of customers that drive 2 hours spend 10k and charge 300 for a sizing on a ring you built 2 years ago. Great quality just let your customers know that in the beginning.

Friendly staff, took in walk-ins, open relatively early on Sundays, and seated 6 gold coins in bezels on a Sunday morning. Excellent!

The team at C M Yater could not be more knowledgeable and helpful with finding the right piece of jewelry for you. My husband and I were new to the process. C M Yater was recommended to us by a coworker. Their staff made the experience joyful and stress free. They answered all our questions (and we had a lot of them), provided feedback when we asked for their professional opinion, and bent over backwards to make our requests happen.
They work fast. They provide you an estimated time for turnaround, and truly each time, it was turned around faster than what they had quoted. We never felt pressured to make a decision. We got exactly what we wanted and could not be happier. We are thrilled to have found a local jewelry dealer. We established a relationship with each of the staff members and will be recurring costumers.
