Roy John Designer Goldsmith — Local services in Salem

There is nothing quite as special as having a custom, one of a kind piece of artwork to wear. I have used Roy John for multiple projects and multiple in store purchases. His prices are fair and honest, some projects I come to him with an idea and budget and he lays out what he can do and type of stone to use.

There are world class gold and platsmiths in Portland and given this experience it's...

Didn't notice until he got home the poor work. People are eager to show you the good work not eager to hide it. Several mistakes were made where you can see it was sanded.
