Thank you to Rochester Lapidary for an exemplary experience! Rochester Lapidary is my favorite jewelry store - beautiful, highest quality products and always amazing things to look at (their gem and mineral collection is awesome). Yesterday I stopped in for a significant repair - I bent one of the prongs of my wedding ring and the diamond was loose. I was prepared to leave the ring there for a while - but instead, the staff at Rochester Lapidary fixed the ring while I waited, at no charge. When they returned it to me it sparkled like a brand-new ring. Again, no charge, and I was just a walk-in. This is what customer service should be - I was thrilled. Add this to the long list of reasons why I drive to Rochester from the Twin Cities when I have jewelry needs. Thank you!

Amazing service. Connie was great to work with, she was patient in helping us find a band and showed us what it would look like with the diamond in it. The ring turned out amazing and it was done sooner than we expected.

Professional, courteous and timely service! My wedding ring needed a new crown for the main stone and some other small fixes. They provided a reasonable quote and the work was done in the timeframe that they specified. I liked getting a notification via text—fast communication. Thank you!

Thank you for your excellent service, I appreciated all the help and advice in designing and making this ring. I especially appreciated Shannons help in looking at other jewelry. Very knowledgeable group.

Worked with Shannon as a first-time buyer to research and purchase an engagement ring. From start to finish, the service and information she provided was amazing. She was more than willing to sit down and chat with me on numerous repeat visits, even staying after hours to make sure I felt like I had the information needed to guide my decision. From initial browsing/education on ring settings and diamonds, to offering options within my price range and ordering alternatives from their providers, to the final diamond/setting selection, I was blown away by their incredible customer service, wide range of selection, and flexible turnaround schedules.Will recommend over and over again.

Brought in my grandmother’s necklace that I had recently been gifted. I planned to add her birthstone to the current metal design. Staff was friendly and very helpful. With the help of staff, I was able to find a stone and design to my liking. Now 3 weeks until I can give a review on how it turned out.

Went in with my mom because the ring my dad bought her had gotten caught so the head wasnt flush. They fixed it in no time at zero charge. Since my dad is no longer with us, please know it meant the world to her that you were able to restore her ring. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

I went in to order a mothers ring for my daughters birthday and received great customer service. Every ring I looked at she priced and displayed on computer so I could see it in advance. Even though they were busy she never rushed me. I told them the date I needed it by and they ensured it would be in and get fitted for her by her birthday. I still had time to spare. I would highly recommend coming here for all your jewelry needs. I know it has been a long time family business that has been here forever because my son 26 years ago came here at 8 years old to buy his mom a mother/child pendant with a family friend and the owner at the time drew up a little contract for my son to sign to make payments with his allowance to my his mom a Christmas gift. I have always been impressed with that story cause my son talked to just about every jewelry store in Rochester and Lapidary jewelers was the only one who was touched by his attempt. Now his son owns the store and I shared the story of what a great man his father was to work with an 8 year old child. Come check out the store yourself and you will be impressed too.

I brought a precious ring in to replace a stone that had fallen out. Even though they didnt have exactly the stone I was looking for, I was shown something so similar that I cant tell the difference. I brought it in on a Monday and was told it would probably be a week to get it back. It was ready 2 days later! Amazing service and extremely reasonable pricing. They even cleaned and reshaped a different ring I brought in...at no charge. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

My engagement ring was damaged over years ago and the diamond was loose. I put it in a drawer snd it’s lived there for 18 years. I decided I wanted it repaired. It is beyond vesicular snd they even polished my other rings for free. Thank you so much.

I shopped all over Rochester for a new ring to honor my marriage. I then met Amanda and she made my perfect ring come true. I am not good at this and she was the perfect person to connect with and helped me so much. I will be back!

RLJ has always been my jeweler- there is no other who compare to the customer service, quality, and trust. They have a beautiful selection of ready to purchase merchandise but I’ve personally used their talents in the designing of my wedding rings. Don Kirchhoff would be proud of the legacy he has left his son Adam and how Adam is continuing that standard of excellence. I recently visited to have my rings cleaned. It was another positive experience with his staff. We even got to swap stories. My first ring was made by Don and his staff back in 1989. I will be sending my son to RLJ for his future wife’s custom ring as well.

I was more than pleased with the final product as I have always been. I was extremely disappointed that a 10 day turnaround ended up being 90 days without communication outside of me calling inquiring on the status while missing a birthday and an anniversary which this surprise would have worked well for. Needless to say it was no longer a surprise. The clerk also didn’t have any reason for the delay other than telling me “it happens”.

They took my Dads 15 and 20 year anniversary pins and made a beautiful ring for my Mom. The ring is stunning and I can hardly wait for her to open it Christmas day. I gladly recommend Rochester Lapidary Jewelers for all jewelry needs. Also, they created mine and my husbands wedding bands 21 years ago.

I gave Rochester Lapidary Jewelers some sketches and had them design and create two rings for me using gold and stones I already had. Just picked up my rings today - fabulous!! I couldnt be happier with the way they turned out. Everyone I dealt with there was wonderful - friendly, helpful, careful and accurate. Ive been a customer for decades and have always enjoyed doing business with Rochester Lapidary, but this was the first time I had jewelry made. I highly recommend them for any and all jewelery wants & needs!March 2021- had earrings made, they are gorgeous! Same as always, staff friendly and helpful, jewelry beautifully made.

Had another great experience at Rochester Lapidary. I’ve bought many great pieces from them over the years, but this one was extra special. We had just celebrated our 25th anniversary and I wanted to get an anniversary band that matched the ring we bought there over 25 years ago. They custom designed and created a band that is beautiful, and a perfect addition to my wedding set. Thank you Rochester Lapidary!!!!

I worked with Amanda at Lapidary Jewelry to take a piece of agate that my father had found on our ranch in SD. She worked with the jeweler to see how we could shape it for the pieces I wanted. I had so much say in what we came up with. The final product was even better than i expected. Thanks so much -- Larina

So glad to get this email. It made me remember I wanted to share with you the great experience I had coming in to have work done on two pieces of jewelry. Please look up my work order and see the name of the gal that helped me. She was extremely helpful in a very gracious way. She knows the story of how I lost the diamond and how unreal the recovery was of that. I will never consider going anywhere else for work to be done on my diamonds. Blessings, Sheryl Bailey
