Custom Jewelry Design
Our custom jewelry service transforms your vision into wearable art through a collaborative design process. Clients work directly with our Graduate Gemologist to create unique engagement rings, wedding bands, and fashion jewelry using ethically sourced diamonds and gemstones. With 3D renderings and wax models, we ensure perfect execution before crafting your piece in gold, platinum, or silver.
Jewelry Appraisals
We provide professional jewelry appraisals for insurance purposes with Graduate Gemologist certification. Our detailed evaluations use state-certified scales and industry-standard grading reports to accurately assess diamond quality, gemstone characteristics, and precious metal content. This service includes documentation for both modern and heirloom pieces.

Our diamond brokerage service offers access to both mined and lab-grown diamonds in various cuts and qualities. Clients receive expert guidance on diamond selection, including detailed comparisons of SI2 graded stones and cut quality variations.

Our on-site bench jeweler handles repairs using advanced techniques including laser welding for delicate pieces. Services include chain welding, prong repair, ring sizing, and restoration of worn mountings. Most repairs are completed within 5-7 business days with notification upon completion.

I wouldn't recommend selling anything here because they are low balling the prices. He offered me $25 a gram for 18k gold which is extremely low. I would recommend going up the road to exit 10 where their offering $41.67 a gram

I've had a picture of a beautiful engagement ring on my phone for a few years. Mark was able to recreate the ring for me and it is gorgeous. Everyone at Goodman's is incredibly professional and helpful.

I had an appraisal done for an engagement ring and wedding band. Mark explained things to me, showed me different parts of my rings and I felt very confident in his appraisal. He even got it done in the same day and was very reasonably priced. Well worth the drive from Johnson City to Abingdon. Thanks Mark!

Mark at Goodman's was great to work with. I lost the diamond from my engagement ring he presented me with several diamonds very similar to my original. They were able to use my original engagement ring band. My replacement diamond is gorgeous in its new setting on my original ring. So happy with the result! The whole process was so easy and fast. The new diamond was in place in less than a week. So happy with the result!
