First of all, I'd like to say how happy I am that I got a 2nd opinion when I needed to have my wedding ring resized. After going to another jeweler across the street, that I won't go to again, I am so grateful for J. Hunter that I could cry. Brenda J. came to my rescue. After being told at the other store that all 4 of their jewelers refused to work on my ring, Johannes Hunter came to my rescue.
The personal customer service was beyond expectation and I had full confidence that they would/could do what I wanted. I can't recommend them more to anyone who has any requirements to repair their jewelry. They were amazing! They also let me try on some of their gorgeous rings just for fun. I highly recommend Johannes Hunter Jewelers to anyone with full confidence. THANK YOU for my "new" ring! I absolutely love it!

I've had a custom ring made as well as rings repaired and resized. Not only do they deliver amazing results, but their customer service is unmatched. Their selection is also beautiful and unique. Easily the best jeweler in the Springs.

My fiance and I were thrilled with the engagement ring and wedding band we purchased at Johannes Hunter. Rebekah worked with us throughout the entire process and was very flexible with both of our schedules. I will bw returning to them for all future jewelry purchases.

The best customer service here! We had a ring mess up with another jeweler so we came to Johannes to find better options, and they delivered! Rebekah helped us find exactly what I was looking for in an engagement ring and went above and beyond to make sure the process went so smoothly for us. She communicated throughout the entire 6 weeks of making the ring with picture updates and the status of the ring. We were very impressed! They are all so kind here and will take great care of you! Definitely worth every penny for a beautiful ring and amazing customer service.
