Fantastic establishment with impeccable customer service. I had purchased my Wife's wedding ring from this store and shortly moved away. Every time I pass through Rapid City, I call ahead to Neugebauer's to make an appointment to get her ring checked out and a re-rhodium. They always accommodate my busy schedule and deliver an amazing outcome. I would recommend this place to anybody.

Neugebauer's is wonderful! I brought in an heirloom family ring and they helped me turn it into a custom piece, long distance. Madeline and Mike were so helpful, accommodating, and made the whole experience exceed my expectations. They sent digital images of all my design ideas - so patient. And they were never pushy, just helpful! Now I have a ring I absolutely love! Would recommend this business 100%!

I could not be happier with the service and care I received while shopping at Neugebauer's. I got my engagement ring customized by them and they made the process so much fun and easy that I recommend them to all my friends who are in the market for getting a wedding ring. I also had them take my old promise ring that was beat up and losing stones and they made it into a brand new beautiful ring. I will forever send people their way for any jewelry needs.
These people are the nicest and most patient to work with. Some jewelry stores feel pushy and are always trying to sell you something but not here. You feel comfortable the whole time you are in there. I will never go anywhere else.

We worked with Michael and he was so knowledgeable about what he has available or what he can customize. We were able to customize a ring from a picture and it came out better than we could have ever imagined! He was able to design the ring in 24 hours and get us a 3-D print out of what the ring would look like. We had been to multiple jewelers looking for this specific ring, and were told the same thing.needs to be custom ordered. Michael went above and beyond and created the most beautiful ring we could have ever asked for! Will definitely come back for future jewelry needs!
