I brought my ring in to be cleaned,dipped and have the prongs checked. We previously purchased the setting from this location and had a diamond put into the setting. When I dropped the ring off, it was okay. After going to pick it up, ring had been cleaned and now had a large crack (visible to the naked eye) in the stone. David said that he did not do an intake inspection on the ring. He also said there was no damage to the exterior prongs. The diamond was cracked under a prong, but zero damage to outside of ring. He also stated an intern had cleaned the ring. The ring had not been checked or dipped. We did not take ring at this time. A day later he called to say that someone had taken a picture of the ring when they had taken the ring to clean it. He said he enlarged it and that there was a crack already in the ring. I asked for an original digital copy of the image so I could verify date and time, but he refused. He said he would epoxy the ring for free but would not file a claim with his insurance and get me a new diamond. After over 3 weeks I finally went and got the ring and it is awful. The stone is broken. I am heartbroken. The left prong on the ring is also darker than the other three now and bent.
I do not know where to start because I cannot say enough good things about David Gardner's Jewelers! I hope my story will help show that this company cares about their customers and will go the extra mile to help ensure you get exactly what you are searching for.
My story begins 10 days before I was planning to propose to my girlfriend. I had been working with a large jeweler for two months to design what I hoped would be the perfect engagement ring. When I called to confirm the ring would be ready for the big event, the other jeweler told me they would need 3 more weeks to complete the ring.
In a panic, I called my brother in law who urged that I talk to David Gardner’s Jewelers. I agreed and had an appointment set up for Saturday - 7 days before I was planning to propose.
When we arrived the next day (BIL and me), David Gardner and Wendy we’re there to greet us. I explained the situation and they assured me that they could have the ring made and ready in time for our engagement. The ring was a fully custom design, so we spent the next three hours talking through the design, metal (type, color and carat) and diamonds. Wendy was great throughout the entire process - she listened intently to ensure she knew the exact design I was looking for, she was very patient despite all my questions and she provided great advice to ensure I stayed within my budget.
Throughout the next 7 days, Wendy was great to communicate with me on the status of the ring and reconfirming that they were still on schedule. Fast forward to Friday, the day before the big proposal and 6 days after I first walked into David Gardner’s Jewelers, Wendy to called me to let me know that the ring was ready for me to pick up.
The finished product was perfect and looked identical to the ring I had described during our initial meeting. Six days from initial meeting to completion of the ring, and they absolutely nailed it! If you are in the market for a quality price of jewelry, you should walk into David Gardner’s Jewelers and ask for Wendy because I know they will wow you with their personal customer service and quality work. I know they have wowed me and will have my business for years to come!
My now husband bought my engagement ring from David Gardner's. We had never been ring shopping together and between him and his salesman Cody, they did an exceptional job. The setting is breathtaking yet also appropriate for my very hands on job. My diamond has a special story behind it and everything! We went back to get our wedding bands, and although my fiance's cost more than I was anticipating, mine was actually less, so it all came out in the wash. I've been back almost 6 times now to have my ring cleaned and they've done it, no questions asked, in a matter of 10 minutes or less every single time. Mrs. Gardner even came up to chat with me the first time I went in there! Great job guys!
My fiance' had a ring from his family that he wanted to give me, but he wanted to have a new stone put in with a different setting. David Gardner's did an excellent job. They helped layout all of his options and find something uniquely beautiful that would fit in his budget. The ring is gorgeous. I love it! From his experience working with them, we'd definitely recommend them!
David Gardner's went above and beyond to give my husband and I the perfect rings. My husband got my engagement ring there, and when we walked in to look at wedding bands, they cleaned my engagement ring! They have lots of options in different price ranges, all beautiful. When I picked up the rings, they even put them in a "bride to be" bag! Very excellent jewelers.
Sophie and Tiffany are my fairy god mothers. They were so fantastic throughout the ring search process. My fiance picked out my engagement ring from David Gardner's and their team helped him pick the ring of my dreams. David Gardner's was able to take my grandmothers delicate wedding band and fill it with diamonds. They made sure my engagement ring looked classic with the band. They have flawless taste and were a joy to work with.
we got my engagement ring and both of our wedding bands at david gardners and were very impressed and pleased with the quality and service we received. the staff and david gardner himself were very helpful! my engagement ring and band were both custom designed and turned out PERFECT! they will clean and check for any loose diamonds as often as you want free of charge! loved the experience of looking at engagement rings too..they made us feel like the most important couple in the room! :)
My (now) husband originally bought my engagement ring from David Gardner's and he had such a great experience that even though we moved out of state by the time the wedding rolled around, we still called up David Gardner's to have them make our wedding bands. They did a fantastic job and we are extremely happy with how everything came out - especially since his had to be custom made!
David Gardener's has such a wide variety and they help you through the insurance process as well. Highly recommend.
I love David, Julia and the whole staff. They try to help you find the ring of your dreams!! They have a wish list so that the girl can go in with friends or her boyfriend and list in order all the rings that she likes so that they guy doesn't forget! I found a ring that I really liked minus on feature and my husband was able to work with the jewelers to create the exact ring I wanted and cast it on site in their state of the art studio! They really know what they are doing!!!
DG was the first place we went to for ring shopping. Everything was absolutely wonderful, except the prices were way out of our league. You have to pay for the band and then add the diamond. We needed more of a package deal. If you have the money then this is the place to go!
We 1st heard about David Gardner's from when we went to A&M football games, where they were a main sponsor. My husband first went in here to look at engagement rings and decided to go with them because they were very nice and helpful. The other places he went seemed like they just wanted to pressure you and make a sale. David Gardner's was different. Kelly asked him about me and how we met and tried to get a feel of our relationship, not just our pocketbook. She worked with him and his budget and helped him pick our a GORGEOUS ring! We had to go back to size my ring a few times and that's when I saw how nice the building and the people were. We decided to go back to them for our wedding bands because we had such a good experience with them the first time around. They helped us out a lot, bending over backwards to figure out financing for us. We would definitely go here all over again and we will be using them in the future!
My husband and I bought my engagement ring and both our wedding bands from David Gardner's Jewelers. We could not have been more happy with their friendly and helpful service. They still recognize us by name when we walk in. I will definitely continue to use them as my jeweler in the future.
We got my wedding and engagement rings and my husband's wedding ring from here. They have a great selection that gets even bigger when they have wedding band events! The staff is always friendly and helpful. The prices might be slightly higher than the chain jewelry stores, but the service and quality more than make up for it!
