Romero Jewelers — Local services in Albuquerque

Working with Kay is a joy. This is going to sound a bit heavy in praise, but it is the truth. Reach out to me if you want any additional information.

I want to say "first and foremost" when starting out with listing "why", but I realize that all of the things which make Romero's such a quality experience can't be ordered by priority. Kay does so well all of the things which make Romero's a complete treasure for New Mexico.

Her craftsmanship and ability to design are incredible. If you have time, ask to see her carving station. This art is at a high level of difficulty and she excels at the small detail work for making precise, artful carvings whether you are looking for rings, or pendents, or bracelets or whatever. She is artistically gifted. I am an engineer, and I have no ability to make things "pretty". I have been able to give Kay a rough sketch and a little verbiage and she cautiously makes awesome suggestions and very soon I find that "my" design has surpassed "pretty" and gone all the way to exquisite.

Her prices are very good as well. BTW, for franchise jewelry stores, you realize that you are getting gouged due to their high margins, right? Stop going there. Go to a real jewelry designer such as Kay at Romeros, and let her give you a quote. You will likely end up with a fully custom piece, with better quality, and at the same price or less.

I think that if I did have to pick one thing that I like about Romero's is that on top of the incredible skill set and value oriented pricing, the one very prominent attribute is that Kay really, really cares. She wants you to be happy with your design and purchase.

I'm not a wealthy guy. But the few things of jewelry that I buy for my wife and daughters I want to be heirloom quality items. Romero's, and specifically Kay, give me that ability to provide amazing gifts for my girls.

This will always be...

Review Provided by Frances Laur Since the day I first met Kay Frances, I've been treated with respect & kindness. I have appreciated her professionalism, reliability, integrity and creative talent. She is a joy to work with and clearly loves the creative and superb work that she does. I have had many projects completed by Romero Jewelers over the years and have always been quite pleased. Whether it be a jewelry repair or the design of a new special item, Kay treats it like it is the most important thing in the world and the outcome is indicative of her talent. Kay listens to what you want, comes up with creative ideas, and follows the project through to fruition. There is never any pressure and your treasured jewelry items come out better than even anticipated. Kay goes above and beyond to please and the result...

We've been customers for over 20 years. Starting with custom wedding bands to five other rings through the years including an amazing anniversary band made just a few months ago, we have been beyond impressed and pleased with the pieces Kay has designed and made. Each experience has brought exceptional quality craftsmanship, creative flare and a commitment to work with us to make sure the end result was even more than we had hoped for! For us, beyond beauty & uniqueness, jewelry commemorates a special event or helps tell an important story. Kay captured all of the nuances necessary to create pieces that allow us to relive those events and those stories every time we glance at her gorgeous work . Kay herself is a gem! Wouldn't consider going to anyone else for our custom made, one of a kind jewelry...
