I adore every person in this shop. Since he proposed, I’ve dropped by a lot to get the ring cleaned and window shop. They remembered everything I said I liked and helped my husband surprise me with a gift over the summer. They even allowed us to put my wedding band on “layaway” and make payments.
But here’s the best reason to deal with a family-owned, local business. 2 weeks before the wedding, I lost his wedding ring. Gone. Vanished. I went to the Jewel Box almost in tears because we were on such a limited budget I couldn’t afford the same ring. These amazing people talked me off the ledge, ordered a duplicate ring AT COST, and told me they’d refund my money when I found the original. And when I found it, 24 hours before the wedding?? They were almost as happy for me as I was!!
There is nothing like walking into a local business and knowing it’s not all about the money. We recently referred a friend who was looking for a very specific engagement ring. He presented to the Jewel Box staff a quote he’d gotten from his intended’s close family friend. The staff told him honestly what they could do, then ended by saying “the goal is for you to get the best ring at the best price.” He was so impressed that their sole goal was for him to get the best value.
That sums up the Jewel Box. They’re fairly-priced, they are a local business, and they’re honest. I have a million great things to say about them but I’ll leave it with this–they’re now my “family” jeweler. I won’t shop anywhere else.
