I had to get my rings cut off after having pregnancy swelling. I have never seen them look better after getting repaired and cleaned up so beautifully! The owners are outstanding, and go above and beyond! Highly recommend for all your jewelry needs

A gem of a place! Not sure why I've been trekking all the way to Diamond District when Jewelry Design Gallery was right around the corner. I'm so happy I found this place. My wife's engagement ring needed a repair as one of the prongs that held the center diamond broke off. Drew was so courteous from our first text exchange all the way to receiving the ring. He handled it with so much care, quick turnaround around time, amazing prices.
Above that, he cleaned up the ring and it looked as if I was picking it up for the first time all over again. My wife was speechless and it was just in time for Mother's Day, which made it all the more special. Thank you Drew and team at Jewelery Design Gallery! Look forward to more business with you in the near future!

Jewelry Design Gallery is the only place I shop for fine jewelry of any kind for myself as well as gifts. The shop is breathtakingly beautiful. The selection is magnificent. The salespeople are extremely knowledgeable and friendly as well as honest. Drew and Carrie Cowitt (owners) are extremely nice and so creative when it comes to designing special pieces. I am never disappointed with the work they produce. I highly recommend this store.

Jewelry Design Gallery did a fantastic job on my ring! It's exactly what I wanted and my FIANCE says they were extremely easy to work with. They are caring and took the time to find the exact diamond he was looking for. I recommend them 10000 times over and over again! You will not be disappointed!
