Have dealt with Athena for many years. They do a great job.I knew Steve for many years. I would call him up... tell him what I wanted and how much I wanted to spend and he would come through . Never doubted his honesty . Referred by old friend to Steve... Lew Jako.. first class place
Not only is this long time family business home to unique, gifted jewelers of fine jewerly, but the owner truly wants his clientele to love their pieces and Athena. You won’t get this experience of tradition and custom made beauty anywhere else in historic downtown ICT!
I had the best experience getting my engagement and wedding rings soldered together. The service was quality and super fast.The employees are so nice and so helpful!If you want something done quickly, I recommend calling before going in to let them know you are coming. They are very accommodating.I will definitely return in the future!
If you’re looking for knowledgeable personalized attention, a good unique selection, and jewelry/watch repair then this is you’re place. A great family owned local business that has been around Wichita for many years. Highly recommended.
I had an heirloom ring repaired, dropped it off on a Saturday and picked it up the following Wednesday. For starters, the repairs cost me less than a third of what Id been quoted at other jewelry stores, even family owned (non-chain) stores. The ring turned out incredible, as Id only ever seen it with missing stones. It was sized down and youd never even know. On top of high quality work, the customer service at Athena is wonderful. I will certainly be back and will be recommending them to every jewelry wearer I know!
The service, friendliness, and support you get at Athena is second to none. Steve truly treats his customers like family. My wifes wedding ring was designed and built by hand at Athena, from a sketch that I gave Steve, and it came out great. My wife works hard with her hands, and that ring has taken a beating every day for 13 years and remains in perfect shape and is just as beautiful as ever. I cant imagine a better value, better service, or better quality than I get from Athena.
My absolute FAVORITE place to shop!
Mr. Sophokles is a genuine sweet heart. My wedding ring needed to be enlarged and it was done perfectly by the next day. You could tell tell anything had been done other than it fitting perfect. Loved his stories and advice. He reminded me so much of my late father. Look forward to doing further business with him again.
We had such a great experience at Athena. Found just what we wanted. Got a lot of great personal advice on Diamond quality. Sophocles made me propose again, just to make sure. But that was kind of fun too. Certainly wont find us at a Yales or a Helzbergs ever again.
Steve and his team are very professional and friendly. A great local business that has been around for 50 years is not easy to find. Keep up the great work!
Incredible work with quality that you can see!
My engagement ring is from athena. its a phenomenal, unique piece. Ive never had any trouble with it - and Ive never seen anything like my ring. Steve provides wonderful customer service!
I have never been treated so badly by any business in my life. Unfortunately his employees are along for the ride but the owner is extremely rude, egotistical, insulting and patronizing. I brought in a high end GIA certified color change sapphire upon the owners request. Upon arrival I could loudly hear his grumbling from the office accusing me of bringing in a fake stone because he didnt even know that color change sapphires existed until his employee explained that it was indeed a stone that actually exists. Next he grumbled at my GIA paperwork because it was in a clear plastic sleeve which he was unfamiliar with most likely due to being unfamiliar with the current format GIA sends its reports. Next he DROPPED MY STONE then acted quite defensive and insulting when I inspected it for damage. Things went even further down hill as he told me to sell that junk in outer space because nobody in this world wants it then he tried to give me an extremely insulting lecture on how much I dont know about gem stones, although he didnt even know that color change sapphires existed until ten minutes before hand. At this point I told him I wasnt interested in his lecture, his employee even jumped in and told him nobody wanted to hear any more of his rudeness. He then told me to get the f out. I remained courteous and told them to have a nice day as they continued to argue as I left. Athenas is the absolute last place in town you should ever take your business to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve is always great to work with. Would highly recommend.
