The lady at the counter was very friendly in helping me to find a wedding ring that would line up nicely with my engagement ring. The quality of it was exquisite.They lose a star because they told me I would have my rings back (my engagement ring and wedding ring were being bonded) in 2 weeks. In reality, it took a month. Rather than lie about a timeline to keep our business, we would have preferred honesty. We had no issue waiting a month, however don’t tell us it will be a quicker turnaround then become agitated when we call for updates.
This store is the best! Fantastic service! No need to go to any other jewelry store! Maddy and Kendralee do an excellent job!
Very professional. Nice little jewelry store. Great quality items. Had to have rings sized and repaired. Took about 3-4 weeks but were done as estimated. Very happy with the results
I am so glad this store opened back up under the current management/team. Always such a pleasant atmosphere which makes shopping for special occasions less stressful than it needs to be. Extremely courteous, friendly and professional. Thank you for all of your assistance since opening back up!!!
Our go to jewelry store. Love Kendralee. She is just like family to us.
Lady was Very Helpful...But Selection was Lacking.
Im so glad Perrywinkles is back!! Its always such a warm and pleasant experience, even for the most simple transactions. I recently stopped in to get my ring cleaned and Kendralee was more than willing to help me with some other items. Im so excited theyre back and am looking forward to going back soon!
Kadie was super helpful, all around a wonderful experience!
Great place to buy Amazing jewelry and amazing people that work there
Over the last two months, my husband Bruce and I have had a fabulous experience with this jeweler. I inherited some pieces and with Kim and Scotts expert help, broke them up and recreated some beautiful jewelry that I actually am excited to wear. I had an idea what I wanted, but Kim gave invaluable advice every step of the way and doubtless saved me from some poor choices. From parts of two outdated rings and a set of earrings, I now have a lovely solitaire pendant and beautiful dangling, four-diamond earrings. A three-diamond ring that was reset, and enhanced with halos, is now a showpiece. My husband ordered a new double milgrained wedding band in rose gold, which they had specially made for him without our having to commit to its purchase before we saw it (needless to say, he loves it). They also created cufflinks for him from jewelry left me by my grandfather. They cleaned and restrung some pearls, which went from dowdy to gorgeous, and did an incredible job cleaning an intricately engraved pocket watch from 1898. As I live over an hour from Watertown, this necessitated some work over the phone and via FedEx, all of which was managed easily, thanks to Kim. Overall, Kim, Scott, Mike and Amber were outstanding to work with and I do not hesitate to recommend them. If there were six stars, Id use them all.
My future husband and I shopped a lot. We wanted a great quality diamond at an affordable price. Kim & her staff helped a TON. They werent pushy at all. Extremely patient and kind. My engagement ring is more beautiful than I ever dreamed! I am so grateful that I went here instead of a chain jeweler. Save yourself a huge headache and drive over to this store.
I love my new custom design ring!!
I did have an issue with this store, however, they did reach out and is looking to rectify the situation.
I love this store! I went to the big name jewelry stores in the mall first and I really regretted it. Perrywinkles far surpasses the other stores in quality, design, price and customer service. The staff is so welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. They went above and beyond to help my husband find the perfect anniversary gift for me. The ring is absolutely gorgeous, I just adore it! I get compliments all the time. I cannot recommend them enough! A+++++
I needed style ideas for earrings for an upcoming wedding. I heard alt about Periwinkles. Hilary looked at a picture of my dress and found several nice options. I was tickled by her expertise. She was very knowledgeable of the stones and pros and cons of the different styles. I came away with the perfect pair of earrings I would not have paid attention to on my own! Thanks Hilary!
The owner Scott worked directly with me and spent over an hour making sure I understand enough about diamonds to make a good decision. I thought I was informed going in but felt much better after he talked to me. They dont have the excessive markup like Kays. In my opinion he operates to make an honest dollar and have repeat customers.
Ive been meaning to write this review for about a week now, but my phone wasnt cooperating! I came into the store seeking a Pandora charm for my wifes never ending Pandora collection. Jessica F. helped me pick out the perfect charm and I couldnt be thankful enough. She was super friendly, professional and she really provided a level of customer service I had never seen before in any of my jewelry buying experiences. I will definitely be back to see her soon!! Thanks Jessica!
Perrywinkles is my FAVORITE jewelry store!! They excel in customer satisfaction! I must admit I am obsessed with Pandora and the staff at Perrywinkles are always at the top of their game with original ideas and unique designs!! I could spend the day there just checking out what they have on display. Angela is exceptional and possesses a true gift...her artistic designs are amazing!! She helped me pick out my beautiful birthday gifts and made my Pandora bracelet that much more special!! Jen2 is outstanding and she exudes confidence in her ability to take the customers ideas and turn them into a stunning piece of jewelry!! I would not hesitate to recommend Perrywinkles to anyone looking for an awesome selection of jewelry with quality merchandise and unsurpassed customer service!!
Our experience at Perrywinkles has been phenomenal. On our first visit, the ladies were grilling hot dogs, for their guests, making for a very casual atmosphere that was further reinforced upon entering the store. My fiancee and I have been working with Jessica for our jewelry needs for many years. We first worked with her when she was living and working in North Carolina and she has helped us with everything from watches to engagement rings. As luck would have it, we all have moved back to NY and there was no question wed be making the 2 hr drive to come see Jessica at Perrywinkles when we began shopping wedding bands. Jessica and all of the staff were very helpful and I cannot recommend them enough. We were able to find a wedding band that we are very happy with and look forward to continuing to work with Jessica in the future.
I cant say enough about Lorraine. She goes above and beyond to help out in any way she can. I recently stopped in to have my wedding rings cleaned. They found that a few stones were loose. They sent it out for repair. When the ring was done Lorraine called to let me know. She offered to personally bring the ring to me since we often attend the same sporting events for our children. I told her not to go out of her way that I would try to get to the store as soon as I could. Since she knows that I own a business, she knows how busy I am every day. To my surprise, she did personally deliver my ring at the next event we attended together. I cant thank her enough and appreciate the thoughtfulness. She is a true gem. She makes my experience at Perrywinkles a true pleasure every time I am there. And she always helps my husband pick out the perfect gift for me. She has a way of making you feel special each and ever time.
These people are DISHONEST and UNCOOPERATIVE. My car was hit in their parking lot (the driver left without leaving a note) and they lied saying they did not have cameras pointing that direction (they do) and were not willing to show footage to police after admitting the cameras were there. One can only assume they were the ones who hit my car as many employees have cars that are the color of the paint left behind on my car. I will never recommend a retailer that does not and is afraid to work with authorities to resolve legal issues.
Very friendly staff, great experience overall. Thanks again Scott!
Shawn was a courteous, interested salesman who educated me on all of the properties of diamonds as well as their aesthetic value. He worked with me patiently as I looked for the perfect stone and setting, and then communicated my desires perfectly to the fabrication team. I couldnt be happier with the ring or the service I received and I intend to return to Shawn and Perrywinkles for all of my jewelry needs in the future.
My experience with Lexi at Perrywinkles was amazing! She was so patient and helpful. When shopping for the perfect gifts for a very special person, Lexi listened to my description of the significance of the gift, the recipients personality traits, her skin tone, etc. She allowed me to take my time, change my mind, and guided me to the perfect choices. Perrywinkles and Lexi helped me to make a very special lady in my life a very special memory that she and I will always remember. Thank You!
They have the best customer service! Friendly, patient, and always willing to help! My fiancé got my engagment ring here and later we purchased our wedding bands here. One of the owners went so far as to call a local bridal shop to ask if they did alterations, since I was having difficulty finding a tailor on my own! Wonderful people!
Overall great experience! From the moment I walked in I knew I was at the right place. I had no idea what I wanted for an engagement ring for my girlfriend, Scott and I sat down and he offered me a beverage water, coffee, or a soda. Then we started to look at all the different styles. After alot of meaningful talk I decided I was still unsure of what I wanted. So I said I would think about it. Scott was cool with that no pressure he wasnt just trying to make a sale👍. Life got busy but I came back a few weeks later and he remembered me right away when I returned. Sat down again and finally I found a dimond and a setting that they made a one of a kind custom built engagement ring out of! It was perfect. She said yes!... When she came into get the ring fitted properly they made her feel special and as if she was the only customer. Got the ring a perfect fit and shined it up to perfection. I highly recommend Thousand Islands Dimond Center! You wont find better customer service anywhere. Thanks again guys!
I want to thank Lexie, Lorraine, Jessica and the entire staff at Perrywinkles for helping me make an excellent choice when picking out a new diamond for my wife on our anniversary. Being a jewelry novice they educated and guided me rather than pushing me, until the choice was obvious. The mount they did after the diamond was chosen is also stunning. Thanks again to Lexie and the entire staff for helping make this special occasion all the more special.
My fiance purchased my engagement ring from Shawn at Perrywinkles in Watertown. He had a list of places to go to in Syracuse but on a whim decided to stop in and right away felt comfortable, welcome and at ease. We had to go down a few weeks later to re-size and I have never been more impressed and satisfied with service, product and custom service! Shawn (and the other ladies) was extremely professional, accommodating, honest, and has a great sense of humor. When I had questions, he had quick answers, he is extremely knowledgeable. I truly could not say enough about how wonderful our experience was. This is the place to go if you are looking for fine jewelry in the North Country. Thank you Shawn for making our experience a wonderful one!
Five years ago, my husband and i stopped in the Perrywinkles store in Watertown, NY. He purchased me a beautiful diamond pendant necklace. I broke the chain and we went back to the store to buy a new one. We were helped by Shawn Collins, it was a great experience, he was so helpful and we got exactly what we wanted! We will be going back soon to purchase my husbands new wedding band, and all of our future jewelry purchases! Even though we were helped by Shawn, the other workers were just as awesome! Great store, you will not be disappointed!! Lori and Aaron Ashley
I bought an engagement ring and wedding band here and have not liked buying anywhere else since. Noticeable difference in the jewelry and gems compared to other places I have shopped. The staff here are wonderful, low pressure and found to be more concerned with finding what you are looking for than just making a sale. I will continue to shop over the phone here even after I move away if I can. Thank You every one at Perrywinkles for helping me so much for the last couple of years.
The owners and staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. The pieces are all gorgeous from what I could see. There is an option for everyone and custom work and settings available too!
Lorraine and Shawn were extremely helpful in redesigning my 25 year old wedding set. They explained the process every step of the way and offered many helpful suggestions regarding the new design. I absolutely LOVE my new ring and would recommend Perrywinkles to anyone looking for a personalized experience, whether buying new or repurposing old jewelry! Thanks!
Leah took such great care of us! She was not only extremely knowledgeable, but was eager to help us with anything we needed. Couldnt have asked for a better experience. Perrywinkles is amazing!
I have always loved Perrywinkles at Watertown since my parents started shopping there when I was younger. So when my boyfriend (now husband) and I started talking about getting married I knew exactly where to point him. The amazing staff helped him find the perfect ring!After our engagement we went to Perrywinkles to get our wedding bands. My husband chose a hammered tungsten band very quickly. However, we had trouble finding a band that would fit flush with my engagement ring. Thats when we were informed that Perrywinkles can make custom rings! We worked with an amazing designer to get the perfect match with shape and style!We are now loyal Perrywnikles customers!
My wife and I went into Perrywinkles to see about getting her rings removed from her finger as they were very tight. Shawn was very patient and was able to remove them. He was very friendly and professional. We would recommend anyone going to Perrywinkles because of the service that we received.
When Laurie and I decided to get married, we knew wed go to Perrywinkles because of our daughters great experience there. We worked with Lorraine on our design, which was known around the shop as the baseball ring. She was able to explain how we wanted it to the designer and they worked through all the little issues that came up. Its my job, shed say…or Im just doing what I love. You cant get better service that that!!!! This was such a personal thing for us, and to have Lorraine never falter in getting it done and the way we wanted, just relieved so much of the stress that comes from planning a wedding. Laurie and I are thankful, and will be forever grateful to you, Lorraine. And well be in with the pictures, soon!!!!
I visited Thousand Island Diamond Center after calling in first to inquire about having an engagement ring appraised that I bought online. I just moved to the area and didn’t know who to go to. I saw all of the great reviews for this business so decided to go to them for the appraisal. When I arrived I was greeted by Scott (the owner?) and told to have a seat. I showed him my ring which is a 2.5ct untreated peach sapphire on a 14k rose gold diamond band (tdw 0.5ct). He “tested” my ring and looked at it under the microscope. He told me that the diamonds were cubic zirconia and it was a cheap overseas production that I should have paid no more than $500-$1500 for. He asked what I paid for it and I told him $4,000. He basically laughed at me and told me to get my money back immediately, and that he could make me the exact same ring for less. Already feeling very overwhelmed and confused with this information, and about ready to cry, he decided to kick me while I was down and asked me why I would make such a purchase online. (Basically made me feel stupid for buying the ring online instead of going into a brick and mortar to buy a ring in person.) So, afterwards he showed me a few of his “finer” pieces of jewelry (even compared my “low quality ring” to a “high quality ring” to show me the difference). I thanked him for his time and left. I then immediately took the ring to Kay’s, Zales, and Cooks Manufacturing Jewelers in downtown Watertown for a second, a third, and a fourth opinion. Turns out, all 3 of the other places found that my ring is exactly what it is supposed to be. My “cubic zirconias” tested as diamonds at all 3 places. Interesting... 🤔 My ring was valued at $4-5k at all 3 places by multiple people at each place including managers and owners. I will also be going to an independent GIA certified gemologist for a final opinion, just to make sure that the information given to me at Thousand Island Diamond Center was 100% false. As a “professional” and as a “jewelry expert”, I can’t honestly believe that this was just a misunderstanding and that he mistook diamonds for cubic zirconia. I’m just really surprised being that this business has so many great reviews. I assumed that they would be trustworthy and give me an honest opinion to make sure my ring was authentic. He could have just told me over the phone that they don’t do appraisals if he didn’t want to waste his time on someone who bought a ring somewhere else. Instead, he had me come in and then proceeded to lie to me and make feel stupid for purchasing an engagement ring online. Well Scott, the business that I bought my ring from has been around a long time and has many great reviews, just like yours. So when you ask why I would buy online instead of in person it’s because people are no more trustworthy standing right in front of you. In this situation, the online business turned out to be the genuine one.
Thank you to Lorraine for being so helpful and courteous with our recent purchases at Perrywinkles. It was my first time in the store and you made it a positive experience. I will definitely be back for future purchases.
Completely rude and not knowledgeable of their own products. I’m from Colorado and go to pandora jewelers a lot, and I have never had an experience like them at a pandora. NEVER going back!
Perrywinkles has been my store for many years. My girls and there husbands also have been a customer many years. The service you could not ask for any better. Shawn, who waited on me, His personality and friendliness was very good . The service I received was excellent. I thank you Perrywinkle
Much better customer service and quality products than the chain diamond stores.
My husband and I have done business with Perrywinkles for the past 20 years. They are consistently friendly and helpful. Most recently I took 4 rings to their watertown store, one to be resized and another to be repaired ( I am not very gentle on my jewelry ), two others to be cleaned - I had worn the rings and come in contact with a chemical which made the gold turn black. We were greeted by Shawn who used his magical skills to make my rings look brand new again. He even took the time to clean the rings I was wearing all at no charge !! I was thrilled !! I definitely recommend doing business with Perrywinkles, the associates at this store are wonderful !
The ring is beautiful...the staff was awesome, so sorry to see it close.
My experiences at Perrywinkles have been friendly and personable. I was treated as a one of a kind customer whose buying experience was important, while my interests were taken into consideration. With KendraLee Kittelsons assistance Ive been able to customize jewelry and create personalized designs. Id recommend shopping at Perrywinkles for your next jewelry purchase!
Best customer service! Variety of beautiful diamond jewelry for men and women.
In August I was given a beautiful engagement ring . When Dave told me of his experience with the Watertown Store I had to stop by and meet the wonderful people there . Lorraine showed Dave the loose diamonds and walked him thru the process of choosing a ring . When he explained that he needed it sooner then the date given they pushed the date ahead for him . The setting is beautiful . I met Lorraine and had to give her a hug . its so nice to have someone as professional and friendly as the staff is at Perrywinkles . It certainly made our day even more special .Thank you,
The staff exceeded my expectations for my Omega Watch Band replacement. 5 star staff!
Very honest and owner was a nice person
I love Perrywinkles. I cant gush enough about how fantastic they are. All the girls are wonderful to work with, and the jeweler was fantastic.
While on vacation in Florida last week my wife found several pieces of Pandora jewelry that caught her eye. She was eager to purchase them that day and I convinced her to wait until our return to Watertown and see what Lorraine could do for us. That was the best decision we made on our entire trip. Not only did Perrywinkles have all of the pieces, they were having a sale and my wife ended up getting a free bracelet. Lorraine was very helpful as usual and helped my wife arrange the charms on her new bracelet. Lorraine tells us we are special customers, but if the truth were to be known Im pretty sure she treats all of her customers in the same special way. We will gladly remain faithful Perrywinkles customers.
Amanda was wonderful!! Took the extra time with me! My wife will love it!!

Over 10 years ago, my husband bought me an anniversary band from Periwinkles. The gold had become scratched from wearing and it needed to be resized. I brought the ring to the Watertown store on 4/15/2014. I was told it would be about 3 weeks for the work to be done. My husband picked up my ring today. All I can say is WOW! every time I look at it. It looks like a brand new ring. The jeweler resized the ring, cleaned the diamonds, and polished the band. I just cant believe how absolutely beautiful it looks. Ive always been pleased with the quality of the jewelry and repair work offered at Periwinkles. Thank you so very much for making my anniversary band look amazing and new again.
Great store, but sometimes a limited selection.
Outstanding people and service !
Had a great shopping experience at Perrywinkles with Sales Professional Alicia Patchett.
Great overall experience. From the moment you enter the establishment youre greeted with kindness. All employees seem to possess an infectious and extremely polite attitude. Especially, Lorraine, the store manager. She absolutely leads by example and made me feel welcomed during my visit. Lorraine was intimately involved in all aspects of service provided to me as well as others in the store. The wonderful customer service affords a homey feel and customers know that they are well cared for. I will absolutely return to this business for all of my familys jewelry needs and positively recommend this particular fine jewelry store to any and all. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.I specifically went there looking to repair a family heirloom, but wasnt sure who I can trust, in the area, with my grandmothers prized jewelry. I took a chance by going to Perrywinkles in Watertown and boy am I glad I did so. Not only were the repairs done quickly, only in a manner of a few days, but the quality of work was superb. In fact, the manager even upgraded an attachment, for my grandmothers pendant, at no extra charge because she noticed the quality of the necklace required a little higher quality of bail in order to remain consistent with its beauty.I never mentioned that my items were past down by my wonderful grandmother who past many years ago. Yet Lorraine ensured the pieces were handled and cared for as if the items were the most precious things in the world. Which to me they are absolutely just that. Perrywinkles has definitely earned my vote of confidence and I now consider them precious jewels that everyone should have the pleasure to meet one day.Go to Perrywinkles! They will take great care of you!
The stones there are handpicked by the owner himself and not your run of the mill Kays diamond rip off.
Pricey. Staff was pleasant & eager to help
Had ring fixed thought they were a little pricey
Nice people and selection
