I can't say enough great things about the staff, service, and product quality of Nelson Jewelry! My fiance and I didn't really know what we were looking for in engagement rings or wedding bands and there was so much to choose from and consider, but the staff were so helpful and patient with us. Thank you so much - you made a potentially overwhelming experience a joy!

After 20 years of living with my ho-hum generic wedding set, I broke my hand. My finger size changed which was the perfect opportunity to freshen my look! I really wanted a one of a kind, "all in one" wedding/mother's ring combo. After only a couple of emails, pictures and conversations, Nelson's went to work on my custom design. It's been almost 6 months since I had a ring on my finger and I am so pleased with the outcome.
It's totally unique and TOTALLY me. The design is perfect and integrates all my favorite things: hammered white gold, yellow gold bezel settings, 3 birthstones & my center diamond from my old set. Just happy, happy, happy :- Well done & Thank you!

They custom designed a necklace for me then picked out several lovely options for chains. They made the process seamless and easy and I have a beautiful statement piece. Thank you!

While we now live in another state, I purposely wanted to have Nelson Jewelry assist with some re-sizing of several rings. I truly TRUST them with my precious pieces. Was VERY pleased with the interaction with staff members as we identified what should be completed with each piece. I knew they would offer fair and reasonable pricing. And, since I was concerned about Jewelry being placed in the mail, we identified the BEST way to send to me securely. What a JOY to open the package! THANK YOU to Tom and his team!
