This jewelry store is THE BEST! They have beautiful jewlery. Anything you want, but I had to have a bracelet added to a medical tag, and they did it while I waited and when the lady found out about my plight with a bone marrow transplant, she gave us a deal for which we will forever be grateful. She blessed us immensely and I know this blessing will be rewarded to her. I cried all the way to the apartment with deep gratitude for her kindness; tears of gratitude and joy. Thank you from your number one fan! Debbie M.

Amazing store with incredible staff. We have had a relationship with Levy's for over a dozen years. The inventory in the store is outstanding, spanning decades and at many price points. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is enjoyable and stress-free. Even after a move out of state, we visit whenever we are back in Birmingham.

I purchased a time-piece for my 30th birthday last year and I had to have it repaired twice under Levy's awesome warranty. After the third malfunction of owning it for eleven months I took it back and said "I think this isn't going to work out. I love the watch but is there a way to return it." 5 minutes later I had a check. I will absolutely be back -- their customer service got them a lifetime customer. No wonder they've been in business 100 years. 11/10.

I am always pleased when I visit Levy's! They have such a great inventory and it's always educational and exciting to see the beautiful pieces. My most recent visit, I dropped off my rings to be rhodium-plated and was promised they'd be ready by May 11. They surprised me by getting them done ahead of schedule and I picked them up on May 2. I highly recommend them for any kind of jewelry purchase, maintenance, or repair.
