I worked with Lisa and Dennis, staff and owner, respectively, to create a truly one of a kind piece of jewelry. Customer service is truly exceptional and quality of the piece is outstanding. The team understood what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations! I could not be more thrilled.

Have used Quality Gem twice in the last few months for two custom pieces. One was my fiance's engagement ring and the other was the ring insert pictured below. I could not be happier with the results. We are not the easiest people to work with at times but Dennis was very accommodating and made this very pleasurable. I will be using Dennis for any and all jewelry needs.

I've had a great experience with everyone at QG! I walked in one day with an idea for an engagement ring and a budget. the saleswoman Nicole helped walk me through my options without pressuring me one bit! They don't work on commission so they really just want to make you happy within your budget and hope you will become a repeat customer. She was very patient with me to find the right stone & the right setting. Rob helped work through all the fine details with me and the ring came out PERFECT! I'm beyond happy with what QG was able to make for me.

I highly recommend Quality Gem. Lisa provided me with wonderful customer service. She was patient, friendly, & honest every step of the way. I had a ring custom made and it is gorgeous. The owner is also very kind, personable and was happy to answer any questions. The store offers a vast selection of jewelry and gifts of all prices for yourself or your loved ones. They also do repairs. I look forward to going back. Thank you Quality Gem!
