New Gild Jewelers is absolutely wonderful. Ive brought in two items for repair so far. Both times, they were knowledgeable, friendly, and fixed both pieces perfectly. They have on-site expertise, so when I called them to mount a pearl onto a chain, they gave me several options along with the pros and cons of each of them. I felt confident handing over my pearl to them, and they did a beautiful job. They also have a gorgeously curated selection of jewelry - from eye-catching green tourmaline to a pair of classic pearl earrings I have my eyes on--I love their jewelry selection, warm customer service, and great expertise. Ill be coming back to New Gild for all my jewelry needs.

I damaged my ring set at work and New Gild was able to use my materials to create my new wedding ring. The mastery of Jen and her team is unparalleled--I was so surprised how quickly and expertly they were able to take an idea and make it into a reality. I honestly have no words to describe how happy I am with the final product--it is beyond perfect and better than I ever imagined it could be.

I recently brought my wedding band in to have a small diamond replaced that had fallen out - simple enough fix. Jen and her team also offered to clean and polish my engagement ring that she actually designed in 2018 back to factory specifications. Both my engagement ring and wedding band shine like brand new! They know how to make their customers feel special and that their valuables are in good hands.

Every time I visit Jen and the crew at New Gild, I always have a great experience. I bought two of my most important pieces of jewelry there - my engagement ring and wedding ring. Ive also had numerous family rings resized and purchased new pieces. They are great to work with and their craftsmanship is impeccable! Highly recommend.

I had a cameo pendant that sat in my jewelry box for the past 70 years. I had been thinking of having a ring made for the past few years. The cameo was special. A gift from my brother who was in the army and serving in Europe at that time. I was referred to Jen at New Gild. Jen is both professional and personable. She is easy to work with and quickly understood the concept I was looking for. I highly recommend New Gild for any of your jewelry needs and I absolutely love my new antique ring. Thanks Jen.

Jen and Kelsey rose to the challenge flawlessly to create a custom engagement ring within my rushed timeline. I would recommend them to ANYONE who finds a ring online that they love but cannot find in any nearby store.My girlfriend found a ring that she loved online, however, it was going to take 6-8 weeks to create & ship and I was intending to propose within just a couple of weeks. Thus, I reached out to several custom jewelry shops in the Minneapolis area and Jen replied to my email within 5 minutes at 11pm on a Wednesday night. We met the next day to discuss details and she was so welcoming and knowledgeable! Not to mention New Gild is a chic, tasteful shop located on the vibrant corner of Upton ave. and west 43rd street, which made the experience even more enjoyable.Needless to say, the ring was created with time to spare and my now fiancé loved it! Throughout the entire process Jen was very accessible, responding to my emails within a matter of hours and, in many cases, helping to calm my nerves. I cannot recommend New Gild highly enough!

Ive never owned a more beautiful piece of jewelry than the ring New Gild designed for me. Nearly a year before, Id lost the diamond from my engagement ring. Now I wanted to replace the ring, incorporating its gold and the diamonds from my grandmothers watch into one platinum ring. Jen Bellefleur took on the challenge and created a beautiful bubble ring thats a joy to wear both for its design and its sentimental value. I highly recommend New Gild Jewelers! (My photo doesnt do it justice!)

Prior to contacting New Gild Jewelers, I was devastated because my wedding set had been damaged beyond repair. I wasnt interested in sizing up, upgrading, or replacing it with something entirely different as the set held such sentimental value to me. Jen listened to my concerns and took her time in evaluating my set, while completely respecting my thoughts. My set is considered technical in that it includes a channel setting on both the engagement and wedding bands, and while the diamonds set within them appear the same size, they do slightly vary. The diamonds needed to appear balanced from left to right within the channels, as well as above and below, which I knew could be a challenge.New Gild used all of my existing diamonds and gold, and built a replica of the original set that turned out absolutely beautiful!! The care and craftsmanship is unquestionably first class, and my set is now a better version than the original. The detail is amazing, and it somehow offers more glitter and light reflection than the original, while still maintaining every quality it once had. It feels so good to have my ring back! I find myself admiring it as I did as a newlywed years ago, and couldnt be more grateful for finding Jen and her staff at New Gild Jewelers!

As a wedding planner and florist in the Twin Cities, Ive had the opportunity to work with New Gild a handful of times for styled shoots and have always had a great experience! I knew that when it was time to start sending hints to my Fiance about where to get a ring from, New Gild was the only option. He worked with Jenifer on getting my moms old diamond re-set in a new band for his surprise proposal, and we worked together with Kelsey to custom design the rest! I couldnt be happier with my ring, and find myself staring at it on the regular.

My husband bought me an antique engagement ring from an ethically sourced jewelry company based out of California. We didnt put any insurance on it at the time because we were to broke. A couple years later I smashed the basket setting in locking cabinet doors, and had to hunt for the diamond. The local jeweler where we got the wedding band said they would not fix it and sent me home with suggestions for a new ring. After speaking with a friend of the family at New Gild, I brought it in for repair. The repair was reasonably priced and I got the ring back in better shape than when I originally received it. Im very pleased with the result and to still wear the ring he proposed with.

What a wonderful experience! I asked the jewelers at New Gild to build a ring for my engagement proposal. I had a loose diamond and I wanted a truly unique piece to accent it. Jen and her team could not have been more helpful. They designed a better ring than I could imagine for less money than I thought possible. Not to mention, they kept me in the loop for every step of the process. The show room is also beautiful, and I will be going back to New Gild in the future for any truly special piece of jewelry I buy for my soon-to-be fiancée. Thanks so much everyone!

New Gild is amazing. I was fortunate to meet Kelsey and Jen, through a reference, and have a custom engagement ring built. Kelsey and Jen were very welcoming and excited about the ring idea. When they came back to show me their design, I was blown away. Then, when the ring was finished, I couldnt believe how beautiful it was and was so happy they could make an idea into a reality.New Gild ilwas professional, friendly and on time. Great experience. Wonderful people.

We have loved New Gild and its owners from our first experience there. We first visited New Gild in 2017, and we came back in 2019 to have Jen and Kelsey custom-design our engagement rings and wedding bands. From the first, they were infinitely patient with us and provided so much expertise and inspiration. Jen, Kelsey, and the employees who have assisted us are kind, generous, fun, and such professionals at their craft. We have so much gratitude for this lovely shop, and will be lifelong customers.

I met with Jen to have a family ring remade. She was so helpful and knowledgable. She came up with a wonderful design based on some pictures of rings and then made changes based on what I wanted. I absolutely love my ring and am so thankful for New Gilds talents and impeccable work! I will absolutely be returning to them for any jewelry needs!

My spouse and I went to New Gild to replace a stone in my antique snake ring (which were fashionable as engagement rings during the Victorian era and continued to be made into the early 20th Century). They did a fabulous job and restored some of the beautiful hatching and features that had been fading from the piece. Highly recommended and would consider them for commissioned work!

Review №22

I came to New Gild Jewelers with a vintage sterling silver ring that had lost a moonstone from its setting. Another jeweler refused the job, saying the setting was a non-standard size. Kelsey suggested re-setting it with a rainbow moonstone, an idea that I loved. The first stone proved to be flawed, so he set it again for no extra charge. It was a pleasure to work with New Gild, and Im extremely pleased with the job they did. Would recommend whole-heartedly.

New Gild Jewelers is the perfect edition to the fabulous neighborhood of Linden Hills! From the moment I walked in I was struck by the simple, yet elegant and classic design of the shop! I was greeted by one of the designers as well as a sales associate and eventually was able to meet and chat with the owner! It is clear that they take great pride in what they do and what they are creating! I was also impressed with not only the selection but how they choose and curate the designers they feature and sell. Grateful for this new fabulous find in Minneapolis! You upgraded this little city, New Gild!

Our experience was great from start to finish. We started the custom ring process before the onset of COVID, continued fine-tuning the design with Jen remotely, and just picked up the finished ring this weekend. The team was great to work with, and the ring turned out perfect. I cannot recommend them highly enough—New Gild exceeded our expectations.

Review №25

TLDR: Awesome work, fantastic people, I have my dream ring!Long version: I was looking around to find engagement and wedding rings this year, and wasnt finding what I wanted in styles that were made to last, so I decided to invest in a custom-made band, and just get one ring to rule them all (these are the jokes). I checked out several jewelers before choosing New Gild Jewelers to make my forever ring. I chose them, because I could tell that Jen would understand my need to be really specific and yes, picky, because this is my wedding ring, and Im going to wear it forever. I also felt confident that the ring she and Kelsey would create could handle my active, animal-filled life.Jen took time working through several CAD iterations with me until we finally settled on the perfect design.Kelsey worked hard to make the ring a reality, and today when I went in to pick up my adjusted resin engagement ring (they can do anything here!), they surprised me with my finished wedding ring!! It was done waayyy faster than I had expected, and it is absolutely perfect!I was soo stressed out, worrying that maybe I wouldnt like the real thing, or it would look too wide, etc. (Im a worrier, if you cant tell), but it is absolutely amazing. My dream ring has become a reality, and I was so excited when they showed it to me that I basically burst into tears!!I cannot thank Jen and Kelsey enough for working so hard to create this one-of-a-kind piece of artwork for me that I can wear forever. I am more than happy. Thank you both!!!P.S. Looks like my fiance will probably be getting his wedding ring here also, so two happy customers!! :)P.P.S. Credit to Kelsey for the great photos!

Review №26

The last two Christmases I’ve been spoiled by my husband with beautiful custom pieces from New Gild. In 2018 I worked with Jen and Kelsey to create my dream right hand ring using a combination of my own diamonds and a few new ones. The design and craftsmanship were perfect - the end result stunning! In 2019 I fell in love with a Montana sapphire (my birthstone) that Jen posted on Twitter. I planted the hint with my husband and on Christmas morning was surprised to find the beauty under the tree. Today, I picked up the custom piece that highlights that gorgeous stone - it’s beautiful! Jen and Kelsey are masters at their craft and they are honest and trustworthy! They respected my ideas and budget and were upfront with the process, cost and timeline. I simply cannot say enough about them. I’m a patron forever! Now if only I had unlimited funds...!

We went to New Gild for my engagement ring, our weddings bands, as well as a gift for my soon to be husband. We could not have had a better experience with everyone we worked with, especially Kelsey and Jen, and all of our pieces turned out perfectly. Both my engagement ring and wedding band were custom pieces and Kelsey was able to create exactly what I had envisioned. This is where we will be going for any jewelry needs for years to come. I could not recommend New Gild enough!

Review №28

My now husband and I found New Gild when we were looking for a jewelry store that sells unique engagement rings. We ended up custom ordering an engagement ring for me, which is incredibly beautiful and exactly what I was envisioning. We later ordered a custom wedding band to go with the engagement ring, and it is truly a work of art and goes seamlessly with the engagement ring. Jen and Kelsey have been amazing to work with throughout the process. We have visited the store several times in the past year or so and have always been pleased with their customer service-- including today when I returned a pair of borrowed earrings, and Kelsey shortened a new necklace of mine (purchased elsewhere) for free. I cannot wait to go back and peruse their new pieces. We will be return customers without a doubt.

Jen made our wedding rings last September. They are sapphire, the second hardest of stones. She listened to us, and then designed these beautiful rings. The blue stone matches Dianes eyes, and my smaller sapphire is set in brushed palladium. We love them. And we love that we bought them from Jen, because we have known her for two years as great neighbor and community member, someone who volunteers and helps out a lot. Shes a good person, trustworthy, and you will not be disappointed if you stop in to talk jewelry with her. She sells beautiful work by local artist-jewelers, and if you are interested in designing something unique, she is wonderful to collaborate with. Plus, she is very clear, every step of the way, regarding the costs, and the pros and cons of each decision we made... size of stone, type of metal, etc. It was very comfortable in that respect. So we are thrilled with what we got. And you will be glad if you stop in.

Relatable, knowledgeable and endlessly creative, the staff and owners of New Gild go out of their way to ensure a wonderful experience! From jewelry repair, appraisals, watch batteries to heirloom priceless jewelry, this group understands how to take care of your jewelry needs. I’ve been in with watches, purchased diamond earrings and had ring repairs done. I trust them implicitly with my pieces. I know when I purchase jewelry, it’s the quality you don’t find in the mass produced...it’s the knowledge and service you don’t get from the chain stores. Most importantly, you support a local small business that truly cares about their customers and takes pride in their work.You go to New Gild for the people and stay for the jewelry!

I picked this jewelry store mostly at random. I previously had one of my wife’s necklaces repaired at a large jewelry store that advertises everywhere, and they did a terrible job. I took it into New Gild, and showed it to the guy behind the counter. He looked at it and immediately said, “Oh! We can fix that.” Their work was superb, fast and less expensive than the large store.I looked around when I went to pick up the repaired necklace. The jewelry in the store is made by over 30 local artists. None of it is mass-produced. They have a wonderful range of sizes, styles and prices. I did pick up a pair of earrings for my wife, which I have yet to give her. After I asked a question, one of the jewelers showed me the steps that they use to make custom rings. It is incredibly complicated and way cool. I have a whole new appreciation for jewelry making.I will definitely continue using this store. I look forward to picking out something for my wife’s next birthday. I am looking for an excuse to have them make something that I help design.

We went to New Gild to create a custom engagement ring from an old jewelry set from my grandmother. Jen and Kelsey were incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the whole process of designing and creating the ring. They were also responsive when we had questions or needed to come by the shop. We now have a beautiful heirloom piece that will hopefully be in our family for generations to come. Thank you, New Gild!

If youre looking for a unique experience (you should be when it comes to jewelry), please visit New Gild in Linden Hills. The new location on the corner of 43rd and Upton certainly sets the tone for some of the most breath-taking, original pieces Ive seen in a long time. Jen, Kelsey and the rest of the team are personable, thoughtful and genuinely creative. I recently had a couple of new rings sized and my wedding ring cleaned, giving me time to browse the jewelry they are currently showcasing. Simply amazing - thank you for such a great experience, I cant wait to go back!Laura V.

I asked New Gild Jewelers to refurbish my modest 36-year-old wedding ring, incorporating antique diamonds from my moms and grandmothers rings. Im thrilled with the result! They were thoughtful and imaginative in brainstorming the design with me. We came to a solution, and in two weeks at a very affordable price, I had this new, sweet, sparkly ring on my finger. Exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommended!

Review №37

My experience with New Gild was wonderful from my projects inception to its dazzling conclusion. Before my mother died she insisted that I take her big, bold over-the-top engagement ring / wedding band combo. I told her that I would never wear it as is, but if she would allow me to remove the gorgeous diamond and create a new pendant with it, then I would love to have it. Agreed!I brought the ring into the store and Jen assured me that she would take great care to work with me in designing a pendant that I not only would enjoy wearing, but would love (and remember my mom) every time I put it on. After we had drafed a preliminary design I returned to the store and suggested something a bit different. Jen was happy to oblige, and together we re-worked the design. When she contacted me in a few weeks she said, youre going to love it! And she was right. I now have a stunning one-of-a-kind diamond pendant.I highly recommend Jen and New Gild for top notch customer service, attention to detail and terrific follow through. I strongly suspect that Jen is the kind of business owner who is not happy unless youre happy.

Jen and Kelsey and the whole team at New Gild Jewelers have been amazing partners, and we have been going back to them again and again for all our jewelry needs! We stopped in a few years ago to ask about insurance estimates for some family heirloom pieces, and they are clearly experts in what they do, so we soon came back for some resizing and repair work. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to receive some gorgeous gifts in little pink boxes, and we just had to go back to them to create our custom wedding rings!Jen was wonderful to work with in creating a custom design, and she found a sweet sapphire for me that fit exactly what I was looking for. Kelsey and my husband worked together on the design of his ring, and Kelsey placed finishing touches on both so that the rings would complement each other perfectly. Working with them both was a joy and we’re so happy with how the rings turned out. We’ll be back for sure, and encourage you to check out New Gild too!

I LOVE New Gild Jewelers! I took my wedding ring in to change the setting. I told Kelsey my idea, and he exceeded my expectations! It took less than 2 weeks, and my ring is stunning! Ive also brought 2 pearl necklaces in to be re-strung. Jen said only one needed it, and gave me great advice on keeping my pearls beautiful! Another time I dropped in with a friend who needed an earring repaired. Jen fixed it in 5 minutes, and she wouldnt charge her! I wont go anywhere else. Fabulous owners! Best jewelry store!!!

New Gild was only the second jewelers that my fiancee and I went to in search of an engagement ring and from the moment we entered we were blown away. Jenifers selection of hand made artisan rings were both unique and stunningly beautiful. We were after something different, and Jenifer seemed to read our minds, showing us several rings that we absolutely fell in love with. We eventually chose a gorgeous ring designed and made by Kelsey and couldnt be happier. If you are looking for a ring or other pieces then make sure New Gild is first on your list to go and see. Stop in and see for yourself!

Jen and Kelsey were exactly the people I was looking for to make a special project and a vision in my head become reality for my amazing wife. I presented them with a sort of gemstone challenge with some geode pieces of sentimental value to us and not only were they able to confidently discuss logistics of mounting such oddly shaped and somewhat fragile pieces as Id expect experienced experts in the field to do, but they also quickly interpreted and executed my vision for the shapes and aesthetics of the pieces without missing a beat. Very impressed, very pleased with the outcome.

Review №47

For many years Ive been meaning to either repair or replace my wifes broken wedding ring. I finally decided to make one myself with the help of a friend. I created it using the lost wax casting process. I was also lucky enough to acquire my mothers wedding ring in order to attach the diamond to my ring. The ring I made turned out well, but I didnt feel comfortable soldering my mothers crown on to it by myself. I contacted New Gild and was immediately put at ease by the two charming women I spoke with. One of them was Jen (the owner) and she told me that they are always excited about taking on creative projects. I met with Kelsey and laid out my idea. He was extremely personable and knowledgeable and made me feel confident that he understood what I was looking for. Jen kept me informed about the progress of the ring via email. They even got the ring completed ahead of schedule. The final piece is beautiful and actually left my daughter (she was in the car when I picked it up) speechless. I highly recommend working with these jewelers.Jim Bias

My fiance and I had the BEST experience with Jen and Kelsey! They were so helpful, knowledgeable, and gave great guidance. Jen and Kelsey wont do anything that is not of great quality, and think with a creative mind. They helped design my engagement ring that is extremely timeless, sparkly, and unique and I get tons of compliments on it! I didnt want a white diamond as my main stone, and they helped my fiance create this amazing pink sapphire engagement ring! They will forever be my go to jewelers and are very sincere people. My ring was made with love and good vibes and I could not imagine it coming from any other jeweler!

Absolutely phenomenal service. Cant say enough about the helpfulness of the staff, and their dedication to making sure things are done right, and in the interest of their customers. I brought in an heirloom diamond, and the staff there helped me to craft it into a unique and thoughtful engagement ring for my now fiancé. I ended up over sizing the ring, but New Gild resized it for free with a ridiculously fast turn-around time (just a few hours) so that she could have the ring in time to show family over the holidays. Would recommend 10 times out of 10 to anyone looking for anything from a small gift all the way up to an engagement ring.

New Gild Jewelers is phenomenal! I brought in my wifes diamond wedding ring, a 2 carat emerald cut that had not been cleaned in longer than I care to admit - and in less than 10 minutes - they had it looking brand new! On top of that, they helped find the perfect pair of earrings to complement the ring which made for a great birthday present. And because I sent a note ahead of time with a picture of the ring, they had several earring options available to choose from by the time I arrived. This will forever be my go-to place for any custom jewelry!Note that I also provide online marketing services for New Gild Jewelers - though this review is related solely to my experience as a customer.

I worked with Jen to redesign my moms engagement ring as a gift from my dad. Jen was absolutely fabulous, taking into account my budget and timeline, and truly cared about the finished product. Kelsey did a flawless job creating a new setting for a gorgeous, unique stone that Jen helped me pick out of her stock. Jen cared about knowing what the end result was as well. From start to finish, I could not have asked for a better experience, that was local, friendly, and outstanding.

Review №54

I have some favorite rings and a pair of old earrings that I wear hard. I dig in my garden in the rings, and wear the earrings every day. So, the prongs wear down, stones drop out, the rings need fairly frequent maintenance. These are older pieces of jewelry -- an engagement ring that was my husbands grandmothers, a sweet moonstone ring given to me by my mother for my high school graduation more than a half century ago. In other words, they have some value, both sentimental and other.So it matters a lot to me that the repairs are done professionally as well as sensitively, and Jen and Kelsey are both.They are also highly-skilled designers and gemologists, who can help you create an original design for any occasion. Their shop in Linden Hills also features the beautiful jewelry of local artists. You cant go wrong here.One thing to note. Its on the Northwest corner of the main Linden Hills intersection, so if youre thinking Bibelot or Clancys, you need to think across the street and a few steps north. Its a small stand-alone building, renovated into a beautiful design studio and shop. And theres parking galore.Im sporting my beautifully restored rings right now. They look shiny and fresh, even if my hand doesnt!

Jen and Kelsey are fantastic! New shop, great team! They are very knowledgeable, are happy to hear your ideas and not afraid to provide alternative options to get to a more than satisfactory goal.I have a unique wedding ring, asymmetrical with a nearly two carat oval blue sapphire. It was in a four prong setting. I really wanted a rose gold bezel. They drew up a mock by taking a picture of my ring and superimposing a rose gold bezel. I was thinking about adding a small ruby, my husbands birthstone, in a small space beside the sapphire. They did a mock up and we decided to go for it! My wedding ring is stellar! Looks like a different ring, but is absolutely perfect! The craftsmanship and dedication to perfection of just what the customer is looking for is beyond compare!I also had my ring re-sized and had little beads added to the inside of the bands to keep them from rolling. After a few weeks of wear, one of the beads needed to be adjusted and Kelsey took care of that in a matter of minutes when I just stopped in.Jen and Kelsey are a wonderful team and compliment each other perfectly. They truly partner with you whether youre looking for something contemporary or traditional or something else all together! You have to stop in and see the variety of beautiful and unique jewelry displayed not only from their collections, but from other talented artists as well! You will not be disappointed!

When I found New Guild Jewelers located in the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis, I hit the jackpot. I had accidentally lost my husband’s wedding ring in the stressful flurry of him going into surgery and was very eager to replace it. Owners Jen and Kelsey, both talented artists and jewelers, have a keen eye for design and are careful listeners to help client’s select either ready-made or custom-designed jewelry. I was impressed with their ability to help me select the ring and Kelsey put a beautiful final finish on it. I trusted them both right away and it was so much fun working with them that I also had them resize three of my rings. I am so pleased with their work and I plan to return to have my original engagement ring restored. My husband loved his ring! I also love that their shop is a guild that features other local artists whose work deepens and broadens the variety of styles and unique designs offered for sale. Jen and Kelsey are knowledgeable about the industry and craft and their personal attention and service is superb! I highly recommend New Guild Jewelers to anyone. I will definitely be back in the near future!

This is by far the most impressive jeweler in the state! New Gild offers pieces from local designers and owner, Jen. Theyve recently resigned a number of pieces that I just wasnt wearing but, had a lot of personal meaning to me. Jen and Kelsey were able to reuse a lot of my stones, offer unique ideas, and now Im wearing my mothers wedding diamond everyday as a necklace that was just sitting in my jewelry box until I stepped into New Gild Jewelers.

Awesome space and wonderful customer service. Went in to have our wedding rings fitted and fused. Done quickly and with an amazing finished product. Lots of cool, original jewelry as well that you wont find in bigger chain shops. Highly recommend!

I brought an onyx and diamond ring, with great sentimental value, in to New Gild for repairs. The onyx was badly cracked. I had taken my ring to several larger, big box jewelers, all of whom told me they could not be of any help. New Gild took me on, searched and found a replacement onyx, cut it to fit, and repaired and cleaned my ring. It looks better than it ever had and was completed at what seemed a terribly reasonable price. Im a fan.

I have been lucky enough to know Kelsey for many years and have always been impressed by his work. He made a custom, timeless engagement ring for my fiancé that is absolutely stunning. I know nothing about jewelry, but Kelsey helped me through the entire process making it all very easy and exciting. There are good vibes as soon as you walk into New Gild due to their warm welcome. They always have new and creative pieces, you never know what youre going to find! I cant wait to continue to work with these two in the future. Couldnt recommend them more. Thanks New Gild!!

I cannot overstate how awesome these people are! I was looking for an engagement ring but couldnt seem to find anything that fit our tastes. Based on my description of my girlfriend and what she wanted in a ring, Jenn found the perfect stone. New Gild really wants to know what theyre making and whom its for, and their approach absolutely pays off. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with the engagement ring they created. Of course we went back to New Gild for wedding bands, and they made exactly the bands we were looking for.

INCREDIBLE jewelers!!! I strolled into New Gild a few weeks ago while shopping around for a jeweler to create a custom piece from several old pieces of jewelry. Although I wasnt sure what kind of jewelry I wanted, designer Jen sat down with me and within minutes was able to work with me to design the perfect ring set to beautifully highlight the stones I had brought in. I was so impressed at her ability to zero in on the perfect, unique design! I picked up my ring set yesterday and couldnt be happier! From Jens design, Kelsey created a timeless piece of art...all from pieces I never even wore. I have worked with two other jewelers in the past who have created custom pieces for me, and New Gild is by far the best! It is clear that Jen and Kelsey LOVE what they do and produce quality pieces.

I could not be happier with New Guild. Jen and the team worked hard to get me the perfect ring for my engagement and were so patient with the fact that I am impatient haha. Quality work and a warm atmosphere. Will definitely come here for all my custom jewelry needs. I promise you won’t be disappointed if you choose to come here. Hands down, the best ring I’ve ever owned.

I couldnt have been made to feel more at ease during what I imagined would be a stressful journey navigating the perfect ring for the perfect person in my life.My jitters and insecurities were immediately waylaid thanks to the care and kindness of Kelsey and Jen. Though they might have had an easy mark in me, they were forthright, honest and more than helpful in putting together what turned out to be an amazing piece of jewelry. I wont visit another jeweler again. Im hooked. Im sold. You should be too.

What a great experience! I went to New Gild to have platinum earrings made for an anniversary, but was worried they would cost to much. Kelsey was really fun to work with and brought really great ideas to the design process, all well keeping my budget in mind. Ive never had custom jewelry made, Kelsey and Jen made the experience fun.

Love love love this shop! I brought my Wedding and Engagement rings in to them to alter the size about six months ago. They did a great job and were decently priced. A couple of weeks ago, I walked in with a jiggly Sapphire stone in my wedding ring. Kelsey tightened all my prongs and cleaned my ring for free!

Kelsey designed and made a very important ring for me -- taking diamonds from engagement rings post-divorce and turning them into something new and powerful to call my own. His energy is comforting and sparkling at the same time.I highly recommend this shop and all of the artists featured within. Full of unique pieces in a variety of price ranges. If you want something SPECIAL this is the place!

I came to Jen and Kelsey with an antique ring and some ideas about how I wanted to personalize it. They were very responsive from the onset and offered me suggestions on how they could restore the ring while helping shape my ideas into something my fiancee loves. Kelseys work is incredible, especially in recreating the original millligrain that decorates the ring. Thanks to their work, a nearly 100 year old ring looks brand new!After the wonderful experience I had restoring and personalizing the engagement ring, my wife and I worked with Jen and Kelsey to select and create our ideal wedding bands. Jen sketched out some ideas for a custom band that would fit with the art deco engagement ring and was super helpful as we chose the material and design.I could not recommend New Gild enough. The entire staff is helpful and personable, and their artistic talent and attention to detail is apparent in all the work they do. I will be returning to New Gild for any jewelry needs in the future. Thank you New Gild!

Co-owners Jen and Kelsey are not only knowledgeable and conscientious in their craft; they are kind and personable, as well. My husband and I enjoyed doing business with them, and are happy to recommend them. If youre seeking an alternative to big box jewelry stores, youll appreciate the quality of the workmanship at New Gild.

I had a wonderful experience with New Gild. Jen worked with me to design a custom piece for wife and she did a magnificent job translating the vague abstractions and suggestions I was able to provide her with into a one of kind piece that was able to express the emotions I wanted to convey in a way that I’d struggled to precisely outline myself. I can’t thank her and the team at New Gild enough for their help and for producing the piece under budget and on a demanding timeline. I highly recommend using New Gild and Jen if you’re looking for something that will wow your loved one.

Kelsey made the most shiny, most perfect engagement ring a girl could ask for. . And I didnt even ask for it! He was part of a most excellent surprise and he couldnt have been nicer to work with for the wedding bands. I cant wait to see what my husband brings home from New Gild next!

My wife lost an earing that she loved and I was able to sneak the one she still had into New Gild. Jen and Kelsey were amazing to work with and they were able to replicate the earrings perfectly! The timing worked out great and Valentines Day was a huge success thanks to Jen and Kelsey!The pricing was more than reasonable, they finished the project quickly and their customer service was phenomenal! I couldnt ask for anything else when visiting a jeweler. I highly recommend!

I cant say enough good things about Jen and Kelsey! We have worked with them on so many pieces of jewelry and every single one has turned out perfectly. They not only designed my engagement ring and coordinating wedding bands but they also created a pendant to compliment a pair of earrings I already had, helped us re-vamp a childs sized ring by removing the stones and creating a new setting for them, and sold us a few other of their pieces that I (apparently) couldnt live without. We no longer live in MN but they will forever be our go-to jewelers. I even just mailed my wedding set to them to be re-sized rather than find someone near me to do it. So, so highly recommend!

Jen and Kelsey are a pleasure to work with! They created a new ring for me which exceeded all expectations and have done expert repairs and remodels on a variety of pieces, new and vintage. They often have creative solutions and suggestions and are extremely knowledgable. On a five star scale, I give them six stars, maybe seven.

Ive worked with New Gild on a few different projects & have been beyond pleased with the service, pricing & the final item! I would not consider working with anyone else! My engagement diamond was reset, I had a wedding band made for the new setting & I also had a diamond nose ring made! 😍 Not to mention several rings resized.

Loved my whole experience with New Gild jewelers. Needed someone to resize and clean a platinum engagement/wedding ring set which I recently inherited. Read that New Gild has expertise working with platinum. Kelsey cleaned and resized the rings. He recommended adding tips to make sure the diamond stays secure which I did. The process beginning with intake person thru 2 weeks of work being done to picking up finished rings was seamless. I felt the cost was very reasonable and love supporting small businesses such as New Gild. I will definitely be back and highly recommend them!

Review №93

This whole sordid tale started with a request to resize a new bracelet from a New York designer. I took it to a jeweller store in St. Paul and they messed it up to the point that the bracelet was now unbalanced and really had lost much of it’s beauty. When asked what I would like to do I responded by saying how much does the materials cost because I don’t want them to be out materials (which I thought was very generous). They told me $80. I sort of had an idea of how much 1 inch of chain would cost and I was a bit taken aback; but because I am a bad bargainer I agreed. So I left $80 poorer and with the bracelet I had been saving up for a special occasion now totally unbearable. I spent two months unsure what to do and then stumbled into New Guild going to brunch over Christmas. They didn’t mind answering my questions about how I might be able to set this particular stone etc. so I decided to ask them about the bracelet. When I called them they were actually angry on my behalf as I told them the whole story, and I felt seen for the first time in this process. Then they moved heaven and earth to make the fixing of the bracelet inexpensive so I wouldn’t feel upset every time I looked down at it. I went back in there last weekend and it cost $75 to get the bracelet redone AND a necklace restrung. I’m talking like over an hour of work and many many solders. It looks nothing like it did before and I haven’t taken it off since. I cannot recommend them enough. I am going back.
