I originally went to Jewelry Specialties to get a couple of my grandmothers rings appraised as I wanted to reset them. I thought I was going to use the jeweler that designed my wedding ring. After meeting and talking to John and looking at the reviews, I changed my mind and went with him. Im so glad I did!! He did a fantastic job. I am so happy with his work and communication. I will definitely use him again for the other ring and some other jewelry I have.

Jewelry Specialties was amazing! From the minute I stepped into the store I felt very comfortable and the customer service was absolutely phenomenal. I got the best diamond for the best price along with the best customer service. Thank you so much!

Perfect experience for my engagement ring appraisal. Professional and informative.

I had an exceptional experience with Jewelry Specialties. I brought many items to John Carlstrom and he was honest about which items were worth appraising. He gave me a detailed description with weight and value and even included hand drawn pictures of each piece of jewelry. Quality service with very competitive prices. I highly recommend Jewelry Specialties.

Meeting John was more than a pleasure. John takes an interest not only in the service you may request him to perform, but in you as a person.From the moment that we sat down in his office we began to have a very nice discussion about our businesses, the neighborhood, and life in general. I really felt the WOW Factor that this was a professional who viewed not only his jobs as important, but the people he was serving as having inherent value. Nothing was rushed or hurried, and every questioned received a thoughtful answer or explanation. It is almost an aside to report that the quality of the work was 5 stars, absolutely fantastic, and that what I received at the end was above and beyond what I expected. I had hired John to refurbish and appraise a diamond engagement ring. He got the job done in about 24 hours and the price was unbeatable. I highly recommend Jewelry Specialties to ANYONE looking for any service pertaining to jewelry. Thanks for the fantastic treatment and experience!

John was incredibly easy to work with and helped my husband immensely when picking out an engagement ring and wedding band. Great prices and fantastic service. Highly recommend!

John cares and he more than knows what hes doing. I brought him a beautiful old watch that had many small diamonds set around the outer edge and had belonged to my mother. We wanted to have the diamonds reset into a wedding band for my daughter but didnt want to destroy a potentially valuable watch. John gave us a free appraisal and we decided to have him do the work. The results were simply wonderful. And with a few diamonds left over, we asked John to add them to my wifes ring. She was simply amazed! Our future son-in-law got his wedding band from John as well.John works out of his house and his prices are very reasonable. He doesnt have the overhead that comes with a brick-n-mortar store.You owe to yourself to check out Jewelry Specialties.

I used John at Jewelry Specialties to update my wedding ring into a more contemporary design. I consulted with several custom design jewelers prior to finding Jewelry Specialties and chose John because he appeared to be the most patient, cost effective, and attentive to my needs. It was extremely important to me that he use my exact wedding diamonds in a very similar fashion. Thus, John completed several 3D computer drafts of proposed revisions until we had created exactly what I was looking for. He was conscientious about keeping me informed during the entire process and was able to work within my time frame. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

John did my appraisal on my wedding ring and band. He was so quick and friendly. Made me feel that my ring would be safe left with him which meant a lot as I was newly engaged. Yet he did have the option of him doing the appraisal with me there but after meeting him felt it was unnecessary. He gave me a lot of information about my ring that I found very helpful. He knows so much & spends the time getting to know you as a person. Definitely recommend.

John was amazing! I called to set up my appointment on Wednesday (roughly) of this week and he was able to get me in today. I was in and out in about 45 minutes with appraisal documents for my insurance company in hand. He also cleaned and polished my ring while he got everything written up! Highly recommend for someone needing a speedy appraisal!

I cant say enough good things about John at Jewelry Specialties! He transformed my wedding ring for me, and made the process very simple and painless. I appreciated all of his helpful advice and experience! He is amazing!!!

I first found John on here (Google Reviews) when I was looking for someone to appraise my engagement ring, I saw all the positive reviews and thought, with all the good reviews why not. I was so surprised, he has been even better than I expected. He reminds me when I should clean my rings and I even went to him to make two custom wedding bands to fit my halo style engagement ring. He is charging me almost half what Authors quoted me. It was important to me that they matched my engagement ring as close as possible, John understands that and has been so helpful in creating my dream wedding bands!I couldnt be more please with the service and cost!Thanks John!

Had my ring repaired here and the service was exceptional! Not only was John prompt with a estimate but he was very quick to get ahold of me when it was done. The ring looked better than brand new after he cleaned it. He also did a diamond replacement on my engagement ring after I had lost one of the diamonds. Very professional work and a comfortable environment. In a work from home environment it can be a little questionable, but I fully intend to go back to him with all jewelry repairs I will need in the future. I would recommend him to anyone that needed repairs or any type of jewelry purchase. He is great!

Johns knowledge, workmanship, service as well as price has kept me coming back for over ten years and referring friends and family. He is a genuinely nice guy who cares about the satisfaction of his customers. John is a jewel!

After quite a bit of research, I was lucky enough to find Jewelry Specialties, and finally get the appraisals I needed for my insurance policy.Professional, fast, great prices. I gave my agent a fist full of his business cards to give to her clients.Id go back in a second to get other items appraised.

John helped get a replacement pearl for a necklace I had ordered online. We found a inexpensive option and he finished the work quickly. I would work with him again.

John was very easy to work with and flexible. The whole process from start to finish was very simple and professional.

John is terrific! Great job. Dirk
