I cannot recommend The King's Jewelers enough. Their entire staff is incredible and they go out of the way to make you feel at home. They even cleaned my wedding rings, while I shopped. I had so much fun trying on jewelry and LOVE my new necklace! It's perfect for sweater weather. If you love shopping for sparkly things, stop by today!

Sherry was a delight to work with! She helped us design a custom ring for my 70th birthday and it is awesome! I highly recommend King's Jewelers and Sherry. The shop has a relaxing and "no pressure" atmosphere along with very talented designers! I look forward to working with them again. Thank you Sherry! Joyce Kraus

For my birthday and to commend an achievement I needed to get myself a sea blue ring. Lord's Jewelers had a delightful pear formed greenish blue and I had the option to work with Marielle to plan the ideal setting. Marielle was magnificent, she knew precisely what I needed and had the option to hand craft the entire thing. My experience there has been awesome, and I anticipate working with Marielle once more.
All that you could need in an adornments store. Extraordinary determination at all value focuses. Spectacular used committed segment. Fixes, valuations, custom adornments and, the best part is that Dave and his staff are moral, well disposed and legit. I have bought, relegated and had adornments fixed here. They have my trust which is imperative to me. I love this spot!

I went to a couple of different stores looking for an engagement ring. I had a somewhat specific idea of what I wanted and most of the people I dealt with were rather apathetic, mostly only going so far as to see what they had under the counter. When I first walked in here I met Sheri. She spent more than an hour with me skimming through catalogues to find exactly what I was looking for. She found stones that matched in color and was everything I had hoped I would find. My fiance and I couldn't possibly be happier with the service and quality. Thank you Sheri!
