5/24/19 Needed a watch battery and needed to have it installed in my watch. Stopped a a local jewelry shop (not Howes) to inquire about having this done. The woman behind the counter seemed less than enthusiastic about our presence since she didnât greet us or even look up from her paper. I then asked about a watch battery and she said âyouâll have to leave the watch. Whatâs your phone number â so I reluctantly gave the information. I then asked about the price and she just said â15 dollars â. I left my watch and as we were walking back to our vehicle I thought about how rude she was and how 15 dollars for a watch battery seems a little excessive so since we were close to Howes we went in and were immediately greeted by the most pleasant staff who had big smiles on their faces and I could tell they genuinely wanted us to be in their store. So I asked about a watch battery and they said they could help me and I wouldnât have to leave the watch. And the bonus... only 10 bucks!! So I went back to the other jewelry store, got my watch and took it to Howes. They fixed me up in a couple minutes and I was on my way. Excellent customer service skills and awesome people in general. I will tell everyone about my great experience with Howes Jewelry and their awesome staff!! Thank you for being the type of business the Red Wing...

   Read moreAbsolutely a wonderful place to shop. Working with Aubrey was a wonderful experience in helping me choose a beautiful engagement ring. There was no pressure at all to make a purchase. The engagement ring was absolutely beautiful. They make you feel like a part of the family. You feel their genuineness in insuring that you're happy. They are there to help you in any way that they can. It is this that has us (my fiance and I) making Howes Diamond Jewelers our jewelry store. I'm very happy to keep my business within the small town. This is a feeling that is lost so much with...
