Grinstein Jewelry and Design Inc — Local services in Birmingham

Back in 2009 I decided to take a friend's suggestion to visit Richard and see about an engagement ring. My friend interned with Richard and so I trusted his referral. After calling and speaking with him, I visited their shop in downtown Birmingham. It was my pleasure to meet Richard in his shop, I could tell he took pride in his work. We talked about what I was looking for and price range. His guidance was professional and respectful to my financial situation. I picked a style and Richard was able to help me decide on a man made gem and a beautiful finish. Over time the ring would require polishing and eventually about 9 years later a chance to be fixed up a bit. When I was in the process I didn't have a lot of money to put into the ring. It was silver, so over time it wouldn't hold up totally, no fault to the artist, the material is a soft metal. Richard fixed it up and it was gorgeous again, though the ring itself had started to warp a bit later on, due to the soft material. My wife didn't want to wear it, it was uncomfortable and slipping off her finger. It was time to redo it right. I contacted Grinsteins about doing just this. They were very receptive and helpful through this process. Since we're in a pandemic Grinsteins has taken safety precautions to protect themselves and their customers. To visit you will need to call ahead to set an appointment. Masks are required. I brought the ring in and dropped it off. Later I received a call from Richard to discuss the new ring and he gave me a couple of material options and explained further the quality and downsides to each but we settled on a white gold finish that's sure to put a sparkle on my...

I’m incredibly happy with the folks at Grinstein Jewelers. My fathers ring that he’s had for almost 20 years was absolutely destroyed, and I snuck it away from him to get it fixed. The help and communication I received was unrivaled. Richard is an actual magician and an angel. I’m so lucky a good friend of mine recommended him. When my dad opened the surprise, he instantly started to cry. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so happy. My father is the hardest working, most selfless man I know and this message is one of many thank yous I received. If you knew him, you would understand how big this is. I’m so happy with the kindness Richard and his beautiful assistant gave to me. I’ve never seen his ring look how it did. Thank you again a...
