COWARDIN'S JEWELERS REVIEWS
I’m a 20 year old young woman with died hair and several piercings- one of which is a pair of diamonds my mother gifted to me when I turned 18. The screw backs tended to fall off, and other jewelers have tried to swindle me into resetting the diamonds and other services I didn’t need. Cowardin’s has always treated me with the same respect and kindness as their older customers and provide excellent service, even when I walked in after working at a bakery with an icing-stained apron. They are a trustworthy and incredibly professional business, and I highly recommend them.
Brought in my platinum wedding band to get resized a few months ago and they did an amazing job for a great price, and faster than expected too. I had to come back in for them to adjust the size just a little bit but they did that right away for me while I waited which was very nice. I recommend this place to my friends and family now for similar services!!
Richmond's historic Cowardin Jewelers is still making memories today. Incredible selection of jewelry, keepsakes, and family treasures. my first experience will certainly not be the last. Ask for Dan!

CARRERAS JEWELERS REVIEWS
I has an awesome experience at Carreras Jewelers! My jeweler, Amy, was knowledgeable, engaging, accommodating, pleasant, enthusiastic and very helpful. She made my experience a joy - over the phone and in-person. I am very pleased with my merchandise. I'm sure that I will be returning! Thank you, Amy, it was a pleasure meeting and working with you.
Amazing and super helpful staff! Amy helped from start to finish with a rough gem stone to a cut, polished, and set necklace piece! She took the journey with myself and the stone to the final outcome of perfection! Couldn't ask for better!
Carrera’s is my go-to jeweler! They are always helpful and friendly! Sally is the best, and keeps track of everything for me. If you go, you should ask for her.

SCHWARZSCHILD JEWELERS REVIEWS
Schwarzschild has by far the best reputation in Virginia. Not only is the jewelry gorgeous , like the hearts on fire diamonds, but their Customer service is outstanding. I had an emergency with a gift and they stopped what they were doing to assist me and make sure everything was to my satisfaction. Thank you for everything Andrea.
Michael helped me narrow down my decision on my girlfriends engagement ring. He was extremely professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I will be working with Michael over the coming months/years whenever I’m shopping for new watches or jewelry. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a experts opinion , high knowledge on products, and most importantly a friend to work with.
Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable on jewelry and watches. They have a variety of jewelry pieces from diamonds to gemstones to new and pre-owned watches - you name it, they got it. Went to get my watch resized, and Wren was able to do that in a heart beat and it was free. Highly recommend this place!
