I am nervous about jewelers. About a year and a half ago, I took my engagement ring -- a ring I love more than any other possession I own -- to a jeweler that ended up damaging it. The jeweler then claimed that what he'd done to my ring was necessary to "fix it" and I couldn't prove that that isn't what my ring looked like in the first place. After he returned the ring to its original state, I noticed so many flaws with it; it was so disappointing and I was nervous to take it anywhere else.
Around 3 weeks ago, I noticed that the diamond in my ring was very, very loose. It is a suspended setting, which means there are no prongs holding the diamond in place, just metal. I knew I needed to take it somewhere, so on the recommendation of a friend, I took it to Beaudet Jewelry. I was very nervous to leave it, but they assured me it was in safe hands.
After picking up my ring today, I am impressed with their work. My ring looks amazing and the diamond is set back to its original setting. It looks beautiful. They also corrected some errors by the original artist so that the diamond will stop getting wiggly after a few months.
I did have an issue with the time it took for my ring. Three weeks is a very long time to wait for something like this (at least in my experience) and I felt like there was a lack of communication regarding the time. (As it turned out, there was a death in the family, which I am deeply sympathetic towards.) However, since the work on my ring was so exceptional, I can really forgive them for the delay!
I worked with both Bree (I believe that's how you spell her name!) and Nicole throughout the process and they were friendly and receptive to my stress over my ring. They were incredibly professional and polite. I don't have enough good things to say about Beaudet and I plan to take my ring there in the future (with a better understanding of the time period it...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe owner of this place is more knowledgeable than anyone in this town regarding diamond quality and cut. He takes the time to explain exactly what you are paying for and what the differences are. And it is way more complicated than size, cut, Gia etc. What would take you a month to try and learn he can teach you in 1hr. Iām purchased a pendant from another dealer and he was willing to take a look at it with out even purchasing anything from him. Once I understood what I bought from another jeweler and what he had to offer I wish I would have bought from him in the first place. I ended up buying a loose diamond that is of exceptional quality and a great price for a future piece. He sources these diamonds him self in Africa from a community that support ethically sourced diamonds. Do your research shop around and then go to Beaudet. You will see the difference not just in the service but the value of the purchase. Skis is a great company but the overhead makes them have to charge 2ce the amount you will pay at Beaudet! Because of my research and shopping around I know this is the best value in town for diamonds! They have my...
