I starting working with John many years ago after seeing a contemporary piece of jewelry that his wife was wearing. It was beautifully designed and executed. I knew then that this was the person to design any jewelry that I would wear going forward. I have purchased a number of custom pieces of jewelry and as of yesterday, a new watch, and have been nothing but happy with my experience of working with John. Besides his great design talent and attention to detail on the actual pieces he makes for his clients, he is a joy to work with and one other important thing for me is that when I leave a piece of jewelry with him for whatever reason, I know that my jewelry is safe and that the stone that I brought in, is the one I will leave with. Personally, i wouldn't work with any other jeweler in town.Beyond all the other good experiences that I have had, I have also found him and his business to be fair and forthright. Once you work with John, you won't want to work with anyone else. His is the best in my opinion and I have been happy with his service and his product time and time again. You...
Read moreI have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jon and Wayzata Jewelers. The experience was so professional and personal from the get-go. My fiancé had a specific style/vibe she was hoping for in an engagement ring and I was having trouble finding something that captured what she wanted. I am so glad I went with Jon. From sitting down initially with only a few notes, to picking out a diamond, to the back-and-forth of getting the band done, Jon was awesome in turning a very specific idea into a reality. He was so humble in how he went about his work and answered all of my questions so kindly (which based on other jewelers in the area was not my experience). The craftsmanship is second-to-none and the quality of the final product was even better than I had envisioned myself. Jon truly goes above and beyond and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for not just the highest quality jewelry but the most welcoming, kind, and enjoyable...
Read moreI highly recommend Jon Gilbert for designing a custom jewelry piece! I went to Wayzata Jewelers with the idea of creating a ring that would incorporate diamonds from three generations of family wedding rings. Throughout the entire process, Jon listened to my ideas and included meaningful details I wanted integrated into the design. He used CAD software to form an image of the ring with me by his side, making sure every element was to my approval. Jon also printed the ring in 3D so I could see what the finished ring would look like on my finger prior to creating the final piece. I am so happy with the craftmanship and beauty of the finished ring! It celebrates the lives of my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother and will be an heirloom in my family for...
