I had such a pleasant experience with Elizabeth at the Avondale location today! The welcome was warm from her and Robert, the service was exceptional, and the feedback was appreciated. I am very happy with my purchase, and I look forward to being a regular customer!
Underwood Jewelers has the highest quality fine jewelry of any store in Jacksonville. The experienced and knowledgeable staff are professional, extremely friendly and helpful. Also the store has the widest array of top jewelry designers of new and estate jewelry.Treat yourself or someone very special to you to a piece that they will always cherish!
I visited Underwood Jewelers for a watch repair. The customer service was excellent. They completed the repair while I waited and were so pleasant to talk to. Thanks Underwood Jewelers!
I had a wonderful time visiting the store, Robert was extremely kind and welcoming. Treated us with respect, and we had great conversation with him.
Underwood’s is a fabulous jeweler. I came in by chance to have a watch battery replaced, and was so impressed by the quality of service (specifically from Marena) that I entrusted them with resizing my wedding band. It came back sized perfectly and they replicated the texture exactly, so I can’t even see where it was expanded!Love their stock of classic jewelry and the high end, professional service. I look forward to coming in every time!!
I would highly recommend UnderWoods Jewelers. The store manager Rob personally helped my girlfriend and I pick out a gorgeous engagement ring. He made the whole buying process pleasurable and easy. I would recommend UnderWoods to anyone looking for a nice easy buying experience that also wants high quality jewelry. Also ask for Rob and he will take great care of you.
Amazing store with a large selection of beautiful jewelry! Marena helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Never met such a passionate and knowledgeable gemologist!
Absolutely Great service!I went in to get my watch strap replaced and had the pleasure of meeting Rob Gatta. He was professional, client oriented and knowledgeable. I enjoyed talking to him about watches, the service industry and the history of Underwoods all while he carefully and patiently updated my watch. The experience reminded of what a big difference small gestures can make - appreciate you very much Rob, the watch looks great!I also spent some time with Marena Haley looking at the their inventory. She was a great conversationalist, very accomodative of my many questions and helped me appreciate the nuances of her industry. Thank you Marena!
Mary laurel walked us through every step of the way, amazing customer service!
ONE OF A KIND PROFESSIONALISM!! Manager Robert Gatta is extremely knowledgeable of Rolex and would definitely suggest giving them a try! Great customer service.. Honest Leadership!
Amazing! I took my old wedding ring in, chunked it on the counter and gave some vague description of what I wanted - and that is when Elizabeth stepped up. Do you like this - we can do this - or that - all fantastic ideas. A couple of weeks later I had drawings with options and with Elizabeth still guiding the way. Today I got my new necklace and earrings- one of a kind jewelry and more fabulous than I could have imagined. I don’t even live in Jacksonville now but traveled back to get this done because I’ve always been so pleased with Underwoods work and service. I could not be more pleased!
I hade 2 watches that needed the battery replacement the lady took them back to the guy and then he came out and said his tool wasn’t big enough to get the back off of my watches I thought I took my watches to the right place didn’t want a fly by nite jewelry repair to work on my watches but it seems that Underwood jewelry is not the right place seems to me if you are a jewelry store and repair place you could at least change a watch battery I think the guy just didn’t want to do it would probably rather sell a Rolex or something I don’t really know people but that would be quite enough for me to NOT go to underwood ever again just the way I feel about that .,,
The staff in this location are the sweetest ever.
Underwoods never disappoints. Their selection of jewelry is outstanding. And Elizabeth is the best salesperson. She makes suggestions, gives you time without rushing your decision and is very personable. I will go to Underwoods first for all my jewelry needs.
I am very pleased with the customer service provided by Rob Gatta at the Avondale Underwoods. Rob assisted in the acquistion of a high quality, low supply item. I highly recommend Rob and Underwoods Jewelry.
Sarahs customer service was amazing.. The service was fast and friendly! I will definitely go back and recommend others to as well.
Went in there with a watch I tried to resize myself and subsequently messed up. Robert helped me tremendously, he fixed it in about 10 minutes time and showed me how to resize it properly. I also perused the jewelry section and they have a wide array of all things. Great store!!
Normally I do not leave reviews or comment about my experience but i would like to give a special thanks to Robert Gatta, for making me feel good as a customer . Call me old fashion but I really like doing business with a person or company that makes me feel like they want my business and not feel like going through the stages of worrying if you are being judged when you walk through the door . I appreciate you taking the extra time explaining and showing me my options regardless if i purchased anything or not this is the reason i wanted to leave a review so if anyone wanting to have a good experience without feeling mistreated because you want to get more information or have questions about services, products and just simple transparency before your purchase I would recommend Robert Gatta At Underwood’s Jewlers -Avondale!
Very upscale. Incredibly friendly staff
I visited Underwoods to have a new ring fitted for my “push present” at 9 months pregnant and also to look at some engagement rings for a friend. I worked with Melissa H. who was amazing! She wore a mask (this was during the height of COVID) and was patient with me as I looked at a number of rings (knowing that I wasn’t looking for myself) and discussing different styles and ideas based on my friend’s personality, work, and lifestyle. She also made sure my “push present” ring was perfect and worked with my husband to surprise me with it in the hospital after the birth of my baby when I thought it wouldn’t be ready. She went above and beyond in both cases and has earned a customer for life with me!!
Looking for band for my ring
Great service. Marena helped us and she is great.
In 2009, my husband and I found this store as we were in to trade a few pieces. Now, in 2019, we are refurbishing the same. One treasured piece was my tennis team of 25 years - it was having trouble staying together. Elizabeth Berg our jeweler suggested a redesign. At first, my husbands feeling were hurt, but the two of them put it together and she of course took the lead and worked for a couple of days before she had it perfect. The 40 stones are now in a beautiful bangle bracelet. Its is lovely. Thank you Underwoods for your experience with people coaching and treating us with the exceptional opportunities for our aging pieces. We enjoyed shopping with Elizabeth shes a great associate to the future of your establishment. I recommend them to friends who have been just storing their own jewelry. Check out what this young woman can assist with.
Underwoods is fantastic place to get beautiful gift wear. Matt and Ms. Catherine have helped me with gifts for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, and Christmas. They have gift wear for every occasion and is beautiful crafted. Matt and Ms. Catherine always make sure my gifts are where they need to be on time, no matter how last minute I do my shopping.So, if you love family owned businesses Underwoods is your place. They have such a great atmosphere and truly love helping thier customers shop for any occasion and finding the perfect gift.
I had the best experience! My grandmother had left me a beautiful ring and I have worn it for years in the original setting. I wanted to update it, but since it is so special to me, wanted to use as much of the original ring and stones as possible. Christa was wonderful! She helped me design a setting that was a perfect update, but also kept the original feeling of the ring, including using all the original stones. I couldn’t be happier with the result! I highly recommend Underwood’s and Christa for all your jewelry needs.
Very helpful and extremely nice:)
Absolutely Awesome..Marena is the Best!!!!!
Elizabeth Berg was incredibly helpful. I had jewelry repaired and made a wonderful purchase with her help. Thank you, Elizabeth and thank you Underwoods for being a retailer that understands customer service, how to treat people and point them in the right direction in making a purchase. If only all retailers treated their guests this way.
Being a guy that has literally only shopped for jewelry three times in my adult life. Calder (associate)was every bit of the professional. She not only made me feel welcome; but encouraged my experience. My girlfriend is a New Years Baby. Calder definitely encouraged my decision and my girlfriend absolutely LOVED the D. Yuman piece!
This is one of my go-to stores for great gifts. They have a huge selection and the service is wonderful. I have had nothing but positive experiences here. Most recently, I visited the store in search of a wedding gift and was so grateful to have been helped by Caroline. She was so helpful and we found exactly what I was looking for. She even had it customized for me and then gift wrapped it and sent it directly to my friends. They loved it! Overall it was a wonderful experience.I will definitely be returning and highly recommend Underwoods to anyone looking for a quality product with exceptional service. When you go, ask for Caroline!
Elizabeth is fabulous! She is always available no matter how big or small of a purchase I am making. She takes the time to help me find exactly what I am looking for and doesn’t stop working until it’s perfectly wrapped with a bow.
Emily P. is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to jewelry and the latest trends. She truly cares about each and every client, provides the best customer service and makes the shopping experience a breeze. Whether its a piece of jewelry for myself or someone else, I know I can always trust Emily to find the perfect piece.
Sarah was very helpful and was able to find me the watch I wanted, the whole store was great over all
They were awesome! I needed a battery replacement and ended up having a great conversation with a beautiful lady named Mary. I didnt get the of the gentleman who changed my battery but he was very personable also. They made me feel very comfortable. Ill definitely return. Thank you!
Sarah Larkin at the Avondale store is so helpful. Shell try on. Different pieces and take all the time that I need to have questions answered. Shes a great asset to the company.
As a Jacksonville native I have always been familiar with Underwoods reputation as the best jewelry store in town, and when it came time to buy my engagement for my then girlfriend, I knew where I had to go. My experience was wonderful, as the salesperson who worked with me, Elizabeth, made the entire process easy. She was able to help me find the perfect ring to both amaze my girlfriend, as well as stay within my budget. I have since gone to Underwoods to purchase the wedding bands for my wife and I, and will certainly come back for any purchases in the future. With that said, I strongly encourage anyone in the market for an engagement ring (including clueless boyfriends like myself) to turn to Underwoods.
Always super curtious and helpful people. Willing to go the extra mile. I did not find what I was looking for but they were willing to order.
This happened long ago, but Im not holding in the unpleasant experience I had with this store anymore.Back in summer 2007, I came to this store newly engaged and wearing a solitaire asscher cut diamond ring needing resizing. The sales associate, a middle aged white gentleman took in my order. He took down my information and asked for an estimated value of the ring. I told him the value that my fiancé had told me.He looked incredulously at me and said:No it is not. Its not worth that much.As he bagged it up, without further inspection to see if my value was accurate, he took it away leaving me embarrassed. The most offensive part of this interaction is that the associates dismissal of my estimate insinuated that my fiancé had lied to me.I couldnt get out of the store fast enough. I even briefly doubted my fiancé and confronted him when I got home. He was able to show me G.I.A. records and receipts proving that my estimation was indeed accurate.I have thought about this experience many times over the years. Every time I passed an Underwood, my heart would ache recalling his statement about my engagement ring, something that holds incredible sentimental value.Ive chalked this up to just one more of those experiences where I was judged based on my physical attributes. (Remember, he never further examined my ring, so why else did he assume that I was not telling the truth?)With the current state of the world this has made me relive a lot of these unjust moments where I have been judged by others based on my physical characteristics. (And trust me as a minority woman working as a Software Engineer at IBM, Ive seen my fair share of peoples minds being blown when I tell them what I do for a living. I know when Im breaking someones mental model of a black woman.)Do what you want with this review.To Underwood dont feel like you have to reach out I wouldnt dream of coming back to your store. In fact, for the remainder of our residency in Jacksonville we only went to Fraziers, a store that never questioned our integrity.
Emily Pepper has handled my jewelry transactions for a decade now! She makes the process painless and has always been extremely accommodating. I live 4 hours away and Emily still handles my transactions! Thank you Emily and Underwoods for your continued professionalism.
Great place to shop, helpful staff, no pressure on buying.
Thank you Matt! We were in Jacksonville visiting family when my watch broke. Your establishment was recommended to us. They did an awesome job and had amazing customer service!
It is such a pleasant experience to shop at Underwoods. The staff is always attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. I recently got married and they made the overwhelming wedding planning process much more manageable. Elizabeth did an amazing job setting up and managing my registry. It made the wedding gift process so much easier! Caroline took care of ordering our wedding rings for us. I could not be happier with the level of service we have received and continue to receive when shopping at Underwoods.
For someone who’s not “in the know” on fashion I’d like to thank the great team at Underwood’s who made my life very easy. A big shout out to my namesake “Josh P” for all your help and every ounce of patience you could muster to answer all my questions. You made someone’s Hanukkah very special and I’ll be back again!
I have done my jewelry shopping with Elizabeth for 10 years now. She has helped me choose personalized pieces for my wife. Happy wife, happy life.
Elizabeth Berg was extremely helpful. She was knowledgeable, friendly and personable. She went the extra mile. Will be going to only her for as long as Im in Jax !
Immediately felt uncomfortable as i was being followed around store. All I wanted to do was browse but I felt like I was being treated as if I was gonna steal something. Let customers browse in peace
I love the beautiful jewelry that Underwoods has and the great gift wear. Matt always lets me know when something comes out I would like.Thank you Underwoods.
Had some service work done here for a watch, staff seemed friendly, knowledgeable with a wide variety of jewelry and watch selection. Will keep in mind for future purchasing/service.
I’m new to the area and saw a few ads for Underwood’s. I recently inherited a few pieces from a late grandmother. Josh went above and beyond in helping me sort through her estate. I have learned so much from him. Thank you Underwood’s, you have gained a loyal customer!
My wife and I were initially greeted with a Someone will be with you momentarily. After about 10 minutes of waiting, another couple entered the establishment and were immediately assisted after being greeted with Oh, its so nice to see you again.Not to mention there were multiple associates free of any customers that could have made the sale, but we ended up leaving and going to another jeweler. Merry Christmas Underwoods at Avondale and best of luck with your current business practice.
Super nice staff, very informed with a variety of pieces for men and women.
It was my first time in this location and it certainly won’t be my last! I was greeted by a lovely lady named Christa and the Manager, I believe Josh, made me a cocktail! I was just browsing around, but felt like a million bucks! See you soon again Avondale!
Felt very welcomed, professional & courteous staff, especially Josh. Great selection & well kept store. Will definitely be back soon!
I recently had three of my rings resized at the Avondale location. They now fit perfectly! Christa was wonderful and professional, and I had my pieces in a very timely manner.
Amazing selection. I was able to find right what I was looking for thanks to Lindsey! Great person to work with, I would highly recommend when in doubt of what fits the best :)
Im the son of a small business owner so when it was time to go ring shopping i knew i wanted to stay local and Im so happy that I did. Did I get the cheapest price, no but I hoped I would get added value from shopping local. Not only did they treat me amazingly, when my fiance went in to get sized they treated her like a queen. And when the new sized ring didnt fit just right they made an appointment to fix it at no cost to us. Now thats added value. Our wedding rings will come from underwoods and I will shop here for years to come. Thank you!!
Christa assisted my husband and I with selecting the perfect new setting for my stone. Their were many to choose from and she took her time to help us. She and the rest of the staff were very friendly each and every time my husband went into the store in regards to the setting. I trust Underwood’s to care for my Jewlery and we will certainly be returning customers due to their outstanding selection, friendleness, and service.
Amazing store! The selection and service are extraordinary...highly recommend!
I went to Underwoods after hearing tons of informational ads featuring Clayton Bromberg. I wasnt expecting as much knowledge from their general staff but was really surprised that their staff is legitimately knowledgeable, as well. You dont actually have to speak directly to Clayton to get your questions answered. Thanks for your help, Lindsey!
Casey Clearman is an awesome watch repairman. I highly recommend him!
I was looking for gifts for family members and was amazed by the expansive selection and wonderful staff. Lindsey helped me out a lot and was extremely friendly, professional, and clearly knew her stuff! Thoroughly impressed and will be recommending Underwood Jewelers to friends and family.
Unfortunately I had a very unpleasant experience with both the Underwood’s in San Marco, as well as the Underwood’s in Avondale. I originally went into the store wanting to do a possible trade for my 0.60 carrot diamond earrings, for Roberto Coin diamond earrings at the same weight. Obviously, I went in knowing that if I wanted the Roberto Coin earrings, I would have to pay more. Going in, I left my earrings there for appraisal. The next day, I went back trying to find out what they are worth, as well as look at their inventory of Roberto Coin diamond stud earrings. Upon entering, I went in looking at the other earrings, still inquiring whether or not my earrings had been appraised. I was told that they had still not heard back about my earrings and that they had sent them to the San Marco store to get appraised, and they should be back with an answer by 3 p.m. at this time it was 1:30, so I decided to go have lunch. Once I came back, I still hadn’t received an answer, and they were trying to sell me on earrings that were 0.82 in size and not Roberto Coin, which I did not want. The story continued on, where finally I had to call today, once 2 days had passed with still no answer. I spoke to a woman who was quite rude on the phone, after 2 days had passed and I still hadn’t heard back about my earrings. It was very strange and made me uncomfortable that they had decided to transfer my earrings to another store without my knowledge. In the end, the lady I spoke to was very rude and said my earrings were only worth $300. It is not so much about the price, which upon going to other jewelers I know is very off, but the ridiculous run around I was sent into by this jewelry store. I would definitely steer clear of this company.
This is a great jewelry store, the staff have an immense knowledge of the watches and jewelry they carry. I would definitely recommend shopping for jewelry here.
Christa at your Avondale location made purchasing our engagement & wedding rings a pleasurable experience! She is an awesome ambassador of the customer service that generations of N.Fl. residents have come to expect from Underwoods
Looking for engagement rings with my boyfriend and to get a personal ring resized. Quick, professional service. Very friendly and fun. They treated me like a paying customer even tho I was just browsing. Incredibly huge selection.
1.0 star rating 5/27/2017PROS - The store is nice, with tons to choose from. Its probably a good choice if you want something traditional and arent trying to get creative with your choices or the work you want to be done to something. A good choice if you picked something out online and know exactly what you want - not if you need guidance or someone to wow you with customer service or be genuinely interested in helping you pick the right wedding jewelry.CONS - The sales lady we had seemed inexperienced and treated us poorly (in my opinion). We came in today to buy wedding bands and had heard good things about Underwoods. I also wanted to get my grandmothers diamonds put in my existing engagement ring that my fiance had bought by a custom jeweler in Portland. She started by telling me my grandmothers rings diamonds were poor quality - not knowing that was hurtful, sentimental and not the point of having them put in the ring. My grandmother was the first person in our family to be able to afford a ring, so it had a lot of meaning to me.Then, she only showed me one wedding band, even after I asked if there were other options. She just didnt seem motivated to make a sale. When I asked for a similar band to my engagement ring - she said that mine only was round all the way around (rather than flat inside) because it was worn. I explained it was new and made that way. Another oddly (possibly unintentional) unprofessional comment. Finally, when we got to the mens wedding bands - she didnt even pull them out or ask him questions. She actually just told us to go online and look for them. They didnt even have a computer available so we could look at our options - just basically felt like we were brushed off.This wasnt the exciting trip to buy wedding bands you would think of - guess we didnt warrant great service since we didnt get the engagement ring there. I left feeling offended.
As always, Casey provides the best possible support, delivering superior workmanship, on time, as promised. I couldnt ask for more!
Beautiful jewelry. Great employees.
I recently worked with Josh, he was wonderful and seemed very knowledgeable! Well definitely be back!
I had a great experience shopping at Underwoods. They had an amazing selection of jewelry and gifts. I was helped by Caroline and she did a fantastic job. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Next time I need a wedding gift or jewelry, I will definitely go to Underwoods.
Had a great experience there . Lindsay was helpful and attentive while I was in the store, and was very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
Ill Sum it up Simply. Showed Up Eager to Sell -with 2 OUNCES of Gold. Ive purchased throughout my life. Consisting 18k, 14k, 10k, Diamond Rings, & Gold Necklaces. On Phone Spoke w/ Lady who Verified they appraised diominds aswell. & Once in Store The companys gentlemen offered me 500$... Today at this very minute Gold is 1250$ an ounce. 1 OUNCE Then he said he wouldnt even buy the diamonds just the Gold. Why Did I Waste My Gas/Time? What am I missing? & who can i go to for My Services???
I came into the Underwoods store in Avondale recently to buy a wedding gift and Caroline was super friendly and helpful. She helped me pick out a great gift that the newlywed couple loved and was a pleasure to work with.
Great place. They had a wonderful selection and a helpful staff. Lindsey helped me find just what I wanted.
Caroline was very patient with me as I had no idea what I was even looking for when I walked in! Her bubbly personality made my entire experience enjoyable!
Clayton Bromberg makes much of the desire to form a relationship with customers, built upon trust. Yet when my wifes diamond broke off the mounting that they sold me, I was treated like a street urchin. The woman who sold it to me was able to remember my name, and that I was a repeat customer. Yet she was absolutely powerless to assist me. A competitor down the street was able to repair their defective merchandise within 48 hours.I urge you to avoid this store. They charge too much to treat a customer that way.
Walked in to look at rings ideas and sales women (lindsey) had same last name as me thought that was crazy well any way great customer service and really knows her stuff about ring i will be back to buy one and many more from lindsey
I could not be more pleased with the experiences I have had while shopping at Underwoods! Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable, always helpful and very accommodating!
Remembering the last time i stopped in at your Avenues location - great staff very professional and friendly, and especially Lindsey! Ill make it a point to stop in to see her at her new location when im in town.
Very courteous and patient!
Lindsey Gagnon was very helpful and knowledgeable that made my purchase comfortable and easy
Service was GREAT at Avondale Underwoods with the help of Calder, Thanks
My mom and I came into the Underwoods Avondale store to buy a wedding band and Caroline assisted us. She was so helpful and professional, making it a great experience! Underwoods had a great selection and is the best place in Jacksonville to buy jewelry. I would highly recommend Underwoods and ask for Caroline!
Lindsey gagnon is a wonderful seller 10/10 would purchace from again
Lindsey Munford is the person to see here, knowledgeable and very professional.
Sized my watch, nice staff, great selection
Top notch customer service, thanks Lindsey for your help!
This is the second time I have attempted service business with Underwoods. They have the worst attitude in the business.Specifically this time Michael or Mike as he goes by was unwilling to help me order a link for my Rolex watch. I told him what I would like and after three days he only presented me with a price of the incorrect link. He said he would check on price and availability. Never returned information back to me. I had to call him and he says to just get him a couple of hundred bucks deposit and hell see if they can order it. Told me Rolex didnt have a price on their website so they didnt know, well what good are you as an authorized dealer then? I asked why he hadnt called to check and he just told me had been pretty busy. Thats it. Also when on the phone prior with him, at around 4:00pm give or take a couple of minutes, he told me it just wouldnt be today when he got back to me as they were winding down/wrapping up for the day. They close at 5:30. Lazy! Glad I didnt hold my breath, because even three days later and he couldnt have his service department or himself make one phone call.Also when I asked for the link originally he questioned me as to how I knew Rolex even offered the link? Not in a curious tone either. Im a very familiar watch collector and a quick Google search can reveal this as well. I asked for no special treatment, only for someone to do their job and best to assist me in getting a link for my watch to fit correctly. Rolex has very specific channels to go through regarding things like this. I tried to play ball and go through Underwoods, but no I will not just give you hundreds of dollars over the phone and keep my fingers crossed you will order something that may or may not be correct, or might be available, and with no idea as to how much it cost. Ridiculous behavior and service from an associate representing Underwoods, Rolex, and an upscale luxury item and experience.Fail Underwoods! The only time I have even received half acceptable service is when I inquired about purchasing a Rolex. The service for some wedding gifts we received was poor along with glasses we ordered in the past and past timepiece service experience. Get over yourselves and Rolex, there are other watches, jewelry, and giftware out there of better quality, price, and service. No idea how Underwoods is still in business this long with this kind of service.BTW, Im sure Rolex will love to know how one of their customers was treated. Im glad none of the multiple Rolex we own came from your store.I hate to discredit a business and a family one at that, but too many times I have had poor experiences here. Others need to know to go elsewhere.
Very informative and productive visit.
If your only experience in shopping for jewelry is going to a chain jeweler at a mall then you have to stop by this place in Avondale.
Lindsey is fantastic! Shes the one to see!
The manager was very rude and judgmental. She asked about my family repetitivley and where I lived which I felt was unnecessary. Overall, I had a very poor experience and I will not be back.
Quality jewelry and excellent service
Incredible selection, knowledgeable, professional and friendly staff
