Siebke Hoyt Jewelers — Local services in Cedar Rapids

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! If you are looking for a solid business you can rely on 10 times out of 10THIS IS THE BUSINESS!!!

Back story... I was deployed from Feb2016-Sept2016, during this time I wanted to create a customs wedding band and engagement ring for my girlfriend at the time (Now wife so you know they did an amazing job on the rings). Through email and ONLY EMAIL!! I sent Joseph Hoyt a verbal depiction of my vision that I had for these rings. Joseph was able to create multiple diagrams and do tweaks to the design as I requested. He even took it up a notch and sent my very quick 3-5 second videos of different diamonds to see what they looked like because internet was very bad on deployment but the short videos were able to download after 15 minutes. Once everything was chosen and picked out he sent me a CAD design of both rings showing all angles of the rings. He requested any final tweaks which I had none to offer so we confirmed the design and I paid him. The rings were made and sent to me in San Diego, CA when I got back home.

The communication was absolutely amazing, I always received email responses in very timely manner even when dealing with different time zones and such.

Craftsmanship, the rings are solid absolutely beautiful!! No imperfections, no flaws in the design. Brilliant, beautiful, amazing, you name it!! Let's be real the rings were beautiful enough to take her breath away and say nothing more than yes and I do!! What more are you looking for from an engagement ring and a wedding band!?!?!

Maybe good for jewelry, but absolutely horrible for watches. My watch needed a cleaning, a minor repair and a battery change. I brought it here and was assured they'd make it look like new. Well, 10 days and $109 later I get my watch back and everything appears to be good. However, after I left the store I notice the date wasn't right. No big deal, I'll set it. Well...now the date doesn't work. I take it back soon after and ask about it. The lady takes it back to the jeweler and returns to tell me the battery is fine. Right...I know the battery is fine, why isn't the date working? Oh, I don't know, perhaps it's broken. Well, I brought it in to be totally fixed and "like new" which is what I was promised. She shrugged again and said, "We can't help the date being broken." I said I wish I'd been told before you did a $100 cleaning on it. She said, AND I QUOTE, "Well, I wish we knew more about watches." Seriously? So, basically, one of two things happened. 1) They realized the date was broken, but wanted the cleaning fee, so they didn't mention it. or 2) They DID NOT realize the date was broken either by not accurately checking my watch or just complete ignorance. What kind of jewelry store give a person back a watch with the date set wrong?? Where's the quality control? I can't speak for the jewelry, but if they're this careless with watches I can only assume the jewelry is also poor. I...

What a great experience with a recent engagement ring shopping experience. With the recent COVID-19 virus I first reached out to Siebke Hoyt by using there website and wow what a quick response. Abbi was the team member that reached out to me by text message. She asked me my requirements and what my price point that I was trying to obtain. Within 1/2 hour she provided me with a few options and some good possibilities. We went back and forth multiple times and came up with a couple of possibilities. Both were very beautiful and right in my price point. So now comes the hard decision of picking which one was the correct ring and seeing in person made it a even harder decision. It took a couple of days to decide the correct ring and Abbi was very supportive and provided me with all the information I needed to make the correct decision. Because of the ring that I chose was not the correct size we had to order the correct size which was going to take 4 to 6 weeks. Once again Siebke Hoyt and their suppliers stepped it up a notch and the ring came in only taking 3 weeks. Wow I was not expecting it so soon!! So I am very pleased that I decided to go to Siebke Hoyt and also I love supporting local businesses. I will never step foot back into those large company box stores...
