Everyone working at J. Kaminās are very nice professionals, (Jay hires only the best). I have purchased several pieces for myself and for gifts, and have never been disappointed. Iāve looked at many beautiful items and even with my limited knowledge of fine jewelry, everything seems to be priced fairly.
You never feel rushed and Jay and his staff always find the time to be helpful and to converse with you. Today, for example, I brought in a Garmin Vivofit that needed a battery. Jay didnāt have the battery, but his assistant looked online and found the batteries at Amazon(where else?). I will order them and Jay will install them, when they are delivered. The only problem, I can see, with shopping at J. Kaminās, is you will find yourself wanting one of each of the pieces in his showcases. Oh, I almost forgot, I trusted Jay with the diamond from my engagement ring, which he reset in a beautiful pendant that was his original design. The finished piece turned out quite lovely. I would highly recommend this shop for everything from battery replacements to rings for that very special day. As an added bonus, my husband even enjoys stopping in once in a while just to say, āhowdy!ā However, he wishes I wasnāt with him (for...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI took my Mother's heart shaped peridot ring to have it sized and make sure the stone was secure in the ring. When I went back to pick up it was not my Mother's stone. And the setting was messed up because the stone did not fit. They replaced the stone with a fake man made peridot. J. Kami said he would call the people that worked on it that is in Chicago. So I waited a couple more weeks. He never called them because he didn't want to accuse them of changing the stone. I took the ring to another jewler, he told me the stone was the wrong size and new man made. My mother's stone was 55 years old. It probably wasn't worth much it was sentimental to me. She gave it to me 3 months before she died from colon cancer July 19, 2019. J. Kamin said he would give me back the money I paid for the sizing and that he would not investigate any further. I talked to the Attorney General, they told me to go to the police. Went to the police, they said I needed to talk to Civil court. š I will never take my jewelry there again and will tell all my family and friends what happened to my...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI went to J. Kamin solely based on good google reviews. My engagement ring cracked where it was resized, apparently this can be common. The original seller is out of town and instructed me to go get it fixed at a local jeweler and that he would reimburse the cost. Considering this was the case I wasnāt too worried about price and didnāt look into what it typically costs for a ring to be resized. After sending my original jeweler the bill from J. Kamin, I was told I was ripped off and that they wouldnāt reimburse the full amount I paid. Very disappointed that I was completely swindled because of my ignorance on what the price SHOULD BE. Iām also fully convinced that J. Kamin does this on purpose and when he is question on his exorbitant price he lowers it down to something more reasonable. If your wondering I paid $100 for my ring to be resized and my original jeweler said this is...
