Working with Gina at Julee's Jewelry made for a great experience in finding the perfect engagement ring for my partner. Gina did extra research, orders, and made sure I got the ring in time to propose! I highly recommend going here! Thanks Gina!

Julee and Beth are amazing! They helped me find a setting that was perfect for me. When the setting that I picked didn't work as planned they actually had it custom made. They went above and beyond and the result is simply beautiful. In addition to a great product, they are genuinely nice, helpful, knowledgeable, and fun people. They were (almost) as excited as I was with the finished ring! I can safely say I'll go back to Julee's Jewelry.

Took the time to understand my needs, asked necessary questions to identify what I was looking for. Absolutely wonderful people. Julie and Beth are not pushy at all.

I was visiting out of town for my birthday and popped in just to look: the sales person was super nice and told us about the collection we were interested in! It was my birthday and she was super nice and helpful. I ended up buying a beautiful delicate diamond bar necklace and love my purchase and of course was interested in all the sparkly things! I would recommend this place to all!
