The Leake Co. Private Jeweler & Design — Local services in St. Matthews

I was looking for an expert jeweler to add diamonds from a ring inherited from my grandma (second ring in the first pic) to my solitaire wedding set (first ring in the first pic). Based on previous reviews and seeing her gorgeous work on Instagram, I chose Leake Co. and I could not have imagined what she was able to accomplish.

Sarah was an absolute dream to work with. I frankly wasn't sure exactly what I wanted and was not familiar with many jewelry terms. She showed me design possibilities beyond what I even knew was possible. It was as if she knew what my dream ring was, even when I didn't!

Throughout the process, she stayed in constant communication and within budget! No bait and switch here, she respected the budget and showed how I could get the most with it. Never any surprises. When handing over heirloom jewelry and diamonds, it's important to know you can trust the jeweler. There wasn't a second I doubted Sarah's honesty and integrity. She was incredibly knowledgeable about jewelry, able to tell me things I didn't know about a ring I'd be wearing for more than a decade! While being so knowledgeable, she was also able to explain things like diamond quality so I could fully understand and make informed decisions.

Sarah's work speaks for itself. I cannot believe I have this beautiful ring on my finger and I'm absolutely in love with it. It's so special to me knowing that even with an "upgrade" to my original wedding set, I still have my original engagement ring diamond, wedding ring, AND diamonds from my grandma. I would highly recommend the Leake Co. for any jewelry purchase, jewelry restyling, custom jewelry, and certainly for any couple looking to be engaged. I have no idea you'll be as...

Working with Sarah was the best!

I had never done anything like this before and the first interaction was amazing and that carried through every step of the way. She is extremely personable and very good at making you feel like you are being heard and taken care of, and you are! She clearly lays out how the process is supposed to unfold and takes what starts out as an impossible task and one step at a time solves your problem and brings it to life. She is extremely good at communicating where she is at in the process and is able to hear your thoughts on where the piece is headed and tweak it to make sure you absolutely love it.

You can tell she has a true passion for doing the work she does and translates this into your exact vision and works with you in all aspects according to your specific situation. She helped turn some of fiancee's family jewelry into the custom ring of our dreams and delivered it UNDER the expected budget we had in mind, I mean when does that ever happen. She even found me the perfect secondary ring in a moments notice when I decided I wanted to surprise my Fiancee and propose to her before our ring was ready. Sarah is seriously the best and I will definitely be using her again,...

I cannot say enough positive things about the Leake Co and Sarah. My whole experience with this company was perfect from start to finish. I was shopping for an engagement ring with a not too common design and finding it frustrating to find what I wanted at mainstream jewelry stores. Their idea of custom was “pick a band and pick a stone” and I was unable to find what I wanted. I was initially nervous to go full custom jeweler as I was worried it would be more expensive. I was wrong. Not only did Sarah and her team deliver exactly what I wanted and the perfect ring for me and my future fiance, she worked within my budget and delivered MORE ring and stone then I could have gotten at a Zales or a Kay or a Shane. Her prices you can’t beat at a mainstream store and the quality is far superior in my opinion. I don’t think I will ever go anywhere else for my jewelry needs. Sarah is also an amazing person to work with, she has the perfect personality for her job she is so personable and friendly, makes it a point to be understanding, patient, and takes time to teach you things about the business. I never once felt like I was being “sold to”. To everyone at the Leake Co, thank you, and I cannot wait for my...
