I was spoken to very rudely by the husband co-owner. He actually said that my adjustable ring was "a pain in the ass". Who says this to a customer? My daughter had the pearl ring she gave me set in an adjustable band because she didn't know my ring size. He seemed totally annoyed that he had to come out of the back to show me how to adjust it; it was like I was a bother to him. I think his wife (co-owner) was very embarrassed by his behavior & tried to smooth things over.
I will give him the benefit of the doubt and just assume he was having a bad day. However, I will not be back to Gold Smith Jewelers, nor will I recommend this place to anyone! He also said he would replace one of my small gems in the band and did not do it.

I have been going to Gold Smith Jewelers for over 20 years. Last year I had them repair my 50yr old wedding/diamond ring. It sparkles like new! I would not TRUST any other jeweler with my most precious treasures. They take MUCH PRIDE in the work they do and always have been pleasant and cordial with me. They explain what repairs need to be done and why. Work is completed on time. They have also told if repair would cost more than item is worth. HONEST PEOPLE.

Great work and Great people! I needed to have the prongs checked on the diamond of my ring. This is the first time I have been to this shop and they are absolutely amazing. They explained everything to me in detail and helped me resolve the issue. The time was prompt and ahead of what I had planned on to get it back. I highly recommend this jewelry store for repairs and also any new item.

Goldsmith Jewelers is the only place I trust with my jewelry and repair needs. Doug and Mary are the most honest and nicest people you'll ever meet. Heaven forbid they ever retire. you'll never be disappointed with their jewelery or service!

I love Doug and Mary and Gracie. Doug is a whiz with sizing rings and I wouldn't trust anyone else to size my grandmother's 1932 class ring from a size 5 to a 9.5. It fits beautifully and he does quality work on all my other pieces. Mary is so warm and welcoming - customer service is her middle name. She really knows her stuff too, and I love talking shop with her. Gracie? She's in it for the belly rubs :
