I cannot recommend John Fulton Jewelers enough. You are treated like family from the moment you walk in the door. After having a not great experience at another local jeweler for my engagement ring, I can confidently say John Fulton Jewelers is the exact opposite experience in such an amazing way. I'm refurbishing my grandfather's wedding band and have no doubt it will be amazing - John has been great at giving ideas and listening to my vision. So excited to see the finished product!

I just wanted to say thank you! I came in with a box of jewelry that used to be my mom's and John stopped what he was doing to make time to help me out at no charge. John Fulton's will definitely be my go-to for any future jewelry needs. Thanks Again.

I brought John eight tiny diamonds and the gold from one of my grandmother's many rings with the hopes of having something made for my mom in time for her 50th wedding anniversary. Always the last-minute type, I only gave John 2 weeks to get it done in time, and not only did he pull through, but he practically read my mind with the design of the ring. I told him I wanted it simple, and sort of "rustic", and he said "you want it to look celestial". Yes! Exactly it! John was great to do business with.

Wonderful experience! John will rise to the challenge, meet and exceed your expectations even under a short deadline and extenuating circumstances. An overwhelmed future MIL needed a very unique and specific bridal present for her future DIL during COVID19 pandemic. A pair of studs set in rose gold with not in store stock pair of salt-and-pepper diamonds to match her engagement ring to be completed by the wedding date in 2 weeks.
The search for the stones, the order and review of the stones upon delivery, the completion of the project were thoroughly and professionally communicated and the final product was completed in week and a half! The earrings are stunning! Very pleased! Thank you, John! Regards, Galina.

John and his staff have made every experience a wonderful one so far. I needed work done on my engagement ring, and he was the only jeweler who told me he was capable of doing it. I recently had a death in my family and wanted to buy a special piece of jewelry. I needed it done within a week, and he made sure that happened. I will never use another jeweler.

I went to see John as the setting and side stones on my engagement ring have never been quite right. He sourced two complimentary diamonds in color and cut, and reset them. I chose a setting that when it arrived I found too heavy, so John designed and made the setting himself. He was careful to understand everything I was looking for, was very patient and kind throughout the process, and produced exactly what I wanted - I love it! I couldn't be happier!

I reached out to John to see if he could change my watchband. I had ordered a tool online to see if I could do it myself, but the job proved difficult. John responded quickly to my email, reached out to me the next time he was in the shop, and did the work perfectly. He was easy to work with, engaging, and caring. I can tell he's a pro. I will definitely return to this shop!
