Read moreRaphael Jewelers is by far the BEST in the business. From walking in, Joe and Claudia make you feel like you're part of the family. They help guide you through the entire process, are very responsive to your concerns and desires, and help you create the jewelry of your dreams.

As an added bonus, they clean your rings every time you walk in - just for some added sparkle and shine. LOVE Raphael Jewelers and would give them 100 stars...
