I have had the blessing and pleasure of knowing Danny and Lynda Tidwell for over 30 years and you won't find 2 better Christian people that are honest, kind and caring. Their staff is exactly the same. You can totally trust that the jewelry you are purchasing is the best quality and Tidwell Jewelers stand behind what they sell (although I've never experienced a problem). They treat you like family and I want to visit instead of purchasing jewelry (although I love to purchase as well)!
Below is my wedding ring, a stacked ring they just helped me create and a recently purchased add-a-diamond bracelet. PLEASE make them your jewelry store if you haven't already! You will NEVER regret it!

The staff was very friendly and informative. Took the time to explain everything that I had questions about and fill me in on things I didn't know about when making my purchase. Will definitely be recommending them to others!

Greatest jewelry store that I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with and feel confident that I am getting best quality jewelry. I have never met such friendly and caring people. The owner goes above and beyond to welcome you and make you feel special. It's a pleasure to just visit even if not there for a purchase. Excellent taste and

Being a busy medical student I was busy trying to finish up classes, prepare for board exams, while also planning to propose to my girlfriend. I had two family diamonds that I wanted to work into the ring. After talking to Danny Tidwell I felt 100% comfortable and confident in shipping him diamonds to which he matched a center stone. The down to earth and trustworthiness of Tidwell Jewelers is apparent at every moment and the attention to detail is something that you will be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Needless to say I am very thankful for the beautiful ring he helped me design! It did the trick!
