Took an antique Victorian pendant for repair after the stone came loose from the closed back setting. First red flag was that they didnt know what a foil was (foil technique was commonplace during Georgian period and Victorian period to increase the brilliance of certain stones). They all looked downright confused. Anyway, I went ahead with the repair because I wasnt sure where else to take it and my family has done business with them in the past. I paid $70 and they called me several days later to say it was ready to be picked up. I picked it up and after closer inspection when I got back in the car I realized they had done an awful job. I could see the glue underneath the stone and it left hideous looking dark spots. They had also polished it without asking me (keep in mind its an antique). I thought it was common sense that most people like the patina on antiques, but apparently not. Im not a very confrontational person, but I felt I had to bring it back and see what could be done. I brought it back to the store the next day and told them I was not satisfied with the repair. The consultants (Justine, Sherry, and one other) who I spoke with spent a while questioning whether or not it was glue (which it clearly was) and I felt they did not take my concerns very seriously. They seemed to be telling me that it was just the way it was. They offered to send it back for a re-do and I agreed to give them a second chance. They also told me that their manager (John) would give me a call and we could talk as he was not in that day. The manager never called me. I waited all week and finally called him and I think I can honestly say it was the most infuriating phone call Ive ever had. He had nothing to say other than to debate whether it was glue or not, tell me that you could only see these glue spots in certain lights (they were much more obvious than that), that polishing was standard operating procedure, and that his jewelers had a lot of experience. I asked him if he thought the re-do would produce different results and he told me I dont know. He clearly has a lot of confidence in his jewelers... Now, to their credit, when it was redone it was much more satisfactory. I believe they sent it to a different jeweler who clearly had more skill. However, after the way they treated me, Im not inclined to give them a favorable review. The amount of hassle just to get a stone back in its setting was absolutely ASTOUNDING. Their customer service was the WORST Ive ever encountered. I would not recommend you bring your jewelry there to get repaired or do business with them. I certainly will NEVER bring my business there ever again after my experience. If I could give them ZERO stars, I would.

I went to Michaels looking for gifts for my bridal party. I had an idea in mind of what I was looking for, but thankfully, Mary at Michaels Jewelers helped me found what I actually really wanted. Mary took her time to meet with me and go over every possible option - even on the eve of Valentines Day. She was patient, kind, and did not pressure me into any particular product. Mary knows her jewelry and what will work best for her customers unique situations. Roughly a week after I had ordered the gifts, I promptly received a phone call from Mary. When I came to pick them, she showed me the personalized gifts, which were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. She personally boxed my items and handed them to me when I came to pick them up. I am so grateful for her. She played a very important role in the journey of preparing my wedding. Mary made this moment very special. Should you be looking for something personalized for a special occasion, you cannot go wrong with this Michaels store. Be sure to ask for Mary!

Aaron and Bill were amazing! I came in with my mother’s diamond from her engagement ring and I wanted it set in a ring. She had it set in a necklace. The end result was so beautiful. Aaron helped me make the final choice in bands and I am thrilled!! It only took an hour to get it set and we were on our way. I will always go back to Michaels 😊

I knew I wanted to buy a gift from the Pandora collection- but was overwhelmed by the hundreds of choices.Ruth is a well trained, professional sales agent for Michael’s. She listened to my requests for my search for a gift. With genuine understanding and respect, she stayed within my price range and gave wise suggestions.Together we found a perfect gift!

I came in to have a repair done for a necklace I purchased months ago with no receipt. The staff was very friendly, looked me up in no time and to my shock, the repair was taken care of at no cost.I happened to purchase an engagement ring while I was there, thank you Aaron and Laura for helping me find the right ring for my partner. She will be thrilled!! Thank you so much.

Marry, John and Robert are very professional and made me feel comfortable buying an engagement ring. They made sure to answer all of my questions and never pressured me into buying a piece of jewelry. I appreciate their polite welcoming professionalism and knowledge. They made sure to find time to touch base with me and see if I needed anything or if they could help me further. Thank you Marry, John and Robert for helping me find the perfect engagement ring!!

Aaron was wonderful! Came here with my girlfriend and now fiancée to pick out a ring. He was understanding of budget, as well as the preferences of what we were looking for. He showed appropriate rings and she had plenty of options to choose from. He let us take our time and really figure out which one we loved and not just liked. Low pressure, honest and super easy to work with. Michaels is lucky to have such a good man working for them.

2 people working one customer in the store both talking to him. Was in the store for about 10 minutes NEITHER OF THEM GREETED ME OR ASKED IF I NEEDED HELP. Now was it because me and my boyfriend are young minorities? That’s exactly how it felt . Will never return

After visiting several other jewelry stores, I ended up choosing Michaels primarily for both customer service. From the moment I walked in ( in search for the perfect engagement ring) I felt that I was welcomed and any questions I had were answered. After my experience I walked away with more knowledge than I came in with about various jewels, cuts etc...and confidence knowing I had the best bang for my buck, so to speak. I highly recommend Michaels for anyone who is new to looking at jewelry and have little to no knowledge of of them. Worked for me 😆

I enjoy shopping at Michaels jewelers. The salesman Aaron has been helping me for years now. Very pleasant, not pushy, genuinely seems to care about what I want and not just his commission or what he can try to sell me.

Vanessa was able to quickly attend to me and helped me pick out an anniversary gift for my boyfriend. She was able to assure me if he didn’t like the present that I had additional options for his watch. What could have taken a long time, took a total of 5 minutes and he fell in love with his watch!

I go to Michaels Jewelers in Meriden for all my purchases for my girlfriend. Mary is absolutely the best at understanding what I need for each occasion that Im shopping for.

The young sales associate that took the time to help me the other day didi an awesome job. Between a gift for my sister and a gift for my great nieces graduation and with so much Pandora selections to choose from, the associate was able to help me narrow it down to 2 perfect memorable gifts that they both could treasure for a life time! I couldnt of done it without her help. She was pleasant, patient and showed the love of her surroundings at work! Excellent service and thank you.

He was totally knowledgeable and help us make our decisions. He did not try to lead us to the higher priced items but helped us find exactly what we were looking for and instead of buy the two pieces we desided on three and walked out very happy Michaels customers.

Person I felt with, I think it was the manager, middle aged person, was not very welcoming and very skeptical of what I seen on the pandora website. It felt like if I was wasting his time. At the end I did buy a dog paw charm, then waited 10 minutes for a receipt. The other reps seemed more helpful with the customers they had.

Review №37

Ive recommended Michaels to family and my fiance and now I regret it. We had a horrible experience with one of the sales persons. She was dishonest with us about when my engagement ring would come on. Assuring us she would call us the next day, and telling us the ring would be there or that it was in transit. In the end we did get our ring and it is beautiful. Very grateful to the other sales associate, Mary, who delt with us at the end, was honest to us, and got the ring to us. Definitely not going back to Michaels for our wedding bands which is very unfortunate since I know their jewelery is a great quality.

It was the most wonderful experience today. Got my diamond restyled at a the restyling event in Meriden. The selection was awesome.

I highly recommend Michael’s in Meriden to anyone looking to do the same. Oh and got just in time for our upcoming Anniversary!!! Thanks so much!

While we realized that the girl who waited on us worked on commission, she was very pushy. I was only interested in the Harry Potter bracelets, not the rest of the jewelry she attempted to push on my husband. He was put off and as a result we probably won’t shop there again.

As if the beautiful jewelry, lay out of the store and competitive pricing were not enough, Michaels has a jewel (pun intended)of an associate named Mary at its store in Meriden, CT.I wanted the perfect bracelet for my dear military friend, and Mary delivered. She was so personable, it seemed as if I had been knowing her for years. My shopping experience was so much fun.Mary did not employ hard sell techniques when I expressed my plan to shop around. She simply assured me that I would return; and indeed I did.Mary beautifully gift-wrapped my purchase and provided information on other pieces I admired.There is one issue that annoyed me, however; Michaels does not extend a discount to miltary veterans or retirees.While I applaud the company for honoring active duty personnel, I felt that the service of others has been minimized.Moreover, many of us have supported and defended our nation for 20 years or more; therefore, I wonder why is it that we do not deserve a discount?

I came into the store to have my diamond solitaire check and cleaned. I had my engagement ring reset about 8months ago in the Waterbury CT store.The sales person that helped me was sitting in a chair behind the counter and had to be directed by another sales person to help me.This person seemed unsure of how to check the setting and had difficulty using the microscope. The other lady (who seemed to be more experienced) was disinterested in correcting the problem and said “just adjust the lens”My sale person could not get the lens correct and stated the the prongs “appeared” fine.She then proceeded to clean my diamond, asking me at that point if I was a customer at Michaels.I have been a customer at Michaels Jewelers for many years.My experience was very poor. I even said to the lady to just give me my jewelry back and I would do it another time, to which she answered “no”.I am disappointed with my experience at the Meriden, CT store and would not return, as I have no confidence in their ability to handle my jewelry.
