I purchased a diamond ring from Tim. The ring was designed specifically for me. I was not sure what I wanted, but with help from Tim, and his staff, it was the most beautiful piece of jewelry I have ever seen. I was very excited to show it off to everyone. Thank you very much!!!!!

My engagement ring needed to be resized. Bruce and Tim were very friendly and helpful. Tim had my ring ready for me in 3 days! I appreciate that he understood that I didn’t want to wait too long to get my ring back being newly engaged. My ring fits perfectly now and the price to resize was not bad at all!

Monson Jewelers is the BEST! We have been customers for 20+ years and will continue to be in the future. Everyone is so welcoming, genuine, knowledgable, & helpful. They always have a beautiful selection, their recommendations are on point and their repair work is excellent. Over the years, Monson Jewelers has perfectly filled every need that we brought to them. Most recently, we were in need of their repair work. I wasnt sure if the old and extremely fragile necklace that broke was fixable. Its value is definitely more sentimental than anything, which made the care & dedication they took in fixing the necklace so very touching. We are grateful they found a solution and fixed the necklace beautifully. I cant say enough about Monson Jewelers. They really are the BEST for all jewelry needs!

I went to Tim for my wifes custom engagement ring and our wedding bands in April 2019. I knew nothing about rings but Tim made the whole process easy and enjoyable. The final products were beautiful. We will be customers for life.

Came here to get a new battery for my watch. I noticed later that evening that none of the buttons were working to change the date, month, etc. Brought it back and they got it working as best that they could for no extra charge. Would recommend.

I went to Monson Jewelers to have my engagement ring re-made after I had sadly lost it. I was devastated to lose the ring, and I wanted an almost exact replica. Tim was great to work with! He was friendly, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and was willing to work with me until the ring was just right. The selection of diamonds he had for me to choose from were absolutely beautiful. The diamonds are just stunning in the new ring. I would highly recommend Monson Jewelers for their friendly service and beautiful work!

I was recommended Tim by a family friend and decided to stop by and check out Monson Jewelers. I was looking to build a custom engagement ring for a very special person. Tim did an incredible job of first making me knowledgeable about times (can be very confusing) and working well within my budget to create the perfect ring. Needless to say, Tim and his staff did an incredible job designing and building a custom engagement ring within a two week period! I would highly recommend Monson Jewelers!

I was blessed to be working with Tim on a such a big life moment. After just one visit, I felt like a diamond expert! He genuinely cares about me and my future. He took the extra time needed to find the BEST selection of diamonds that were suited to my needs. He feels like part of family, finding a diamond for my sister and fiancé. I can’t wait to go back with my younger brother... whenever he asks the question!

Tim is fantastic. I went to him knowing nothing about buying diamonds, and came out feeling like an expert. At no point did I feel pressured into anything. Tim was there as a guide opposed to a salesmen. Its so clear he wants you to be comfortable with what youre buying. Ill recommend him until my friends and family are annoyed.

Tim is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with! I came to him with a rough idea of what I wanted and he used his expertise to build a beautiful custom floating diamond necklace. I would highly recommend working with Tim to anyone.

I went to Tim to buy an engagement ring for my now fiance and had no idea what I was doing. Tim was very helpful and informative and helped me pick out the perfect ring. The ring turned out absolutely beautiful and we will be going to Monsons for all future jewelry needs!

Stress-free experience working with owner Tim Monson to find the right engagement ring. I have no knowledge of stones or jewelry, so I appreciated that Tim took time to educate me on diamonds and The 4 Cs. Also, their team was very responsive throughout the process, which is a relief when youre making a big purchase. Needless to say, she loved the ring!

Tim and his team at Monson are hands down top-tier five star jewelers AND five-star people. I have received many pieces from Monson as I have grown up, including bracelets, necklaces, and earrings that I wear to this day. My husband worked with Tim to find the perfect stone for our engagement, and Tim personally helped my husband gain access to a local golf course so that he could propose in my home town. Tim custom-made my husband and my dream wedding bands. My husband received a sentimental heirloom from his late grandfather, and Tim helped us create my husbands wedding band along with 5 bracelets from the diamonds in the original heirloom. We surprised his mother, my mother, our sisters, and his niece with customized original bracelets with our family sayings engraved on each bracelet. Tim ordered, took apart, and melded together the bracelets to fit our very specific and unique design. We could not be happier with the outcome of our purchases! I am a teacher and have had to stop countless conferences or lessons because colleagues, parents, and students have complimented the sparkle and beauty of my jewelry from Monson. We are looking forward to a lifetime partnership with Monson Jewelers!

Every Christmas, my dad and I go to Tims store to buy jewelry for my mom. This has became a tradition in my family and I cherish it every year. The Monson family welcomes every customer into their store like they are family. The jewelry is beautiful and unique and always amazes me. My brother also just engaged to his girlfriend and Tim made the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. Lots of love for this place!!

I personally own several pieces of high quality jewelry from Monson Jewelers. Tim helped me select a new setting for my diamond ring and a new wedding band for our 20th anniversary. Not a week goes by that I dont receive multiple comments from retail clerks or at the grocery store, as to how beautiful my rings are! I just love them! We love Tim and his staff and have referred many family members there as well. All happy customers!

My husband and I got our wedding bands and my engagement ring from Monson Jewelers, and we love them so much! Tim taught my husband a lot about diamonds and helped my husband pick out the perfect engagement ring for me - just my style, and the diamond is beautiful. My husband’s band is unique and the inscription on the inside was done so well. We will definitely be back!

Monson Jewelers came highly recommended from one of my sons teammates who bought an engagement ring from Tim and had such a great experience. I couldnt agree more. I walked in and was immediately greeted by Tim and one of his employees. Tim carefully explained everything about doing a custom piece and once he had exact pricing and a rendering and approval from me, the piece would go into production. 10 days later I had a piece that had both of my grandmothers diamonds in it as well as those my husband gave me. It turned out even better than expected. I will cherish it forever. Definitely worth the 2 hour drive! If I could give more stars, I would!

Tim and all of the staff at Monson Jewelers are knowledgeable, professional, and patient with their customers. My family and I have been purchasing jewelry for any and all occasions here for years ( birthdays, engagements, anniversaries etc.) and are never disappointed.

My entire family has been going to Tim for years and no jeweler experience will ever compare, or even come close! He helped my husband create a STUNNING custom, one of a kind engagement ring with an old family diamond, and for years, has checked in to make sure every diamond is still perfect and clean! The customer service is unparalleled, with the quality to match! Tim is one of the kindest, most generous and genuine people I have ever met, and we are grateful to have him (and his team!) as part of our lives!

I have known the Monsons for just under 5 years now. They are one of the most welcoming, friendly, and loving families I personally know. I purchased both my wifes engagement ring and wedding band through Tim. He goes above and beyond when it comes to his customers. He made sure I thoroughly knew about the jewelry and provided exactly what I was looking for. I cant say enough about how awesome the Monson family is and specifically Monson Jewelers. I highly recommend stopping in the store to get that special gift this upcoming holiday season.

I will never go here again. I went to monson jewlers to get my silver ring sized down. When I got it back it was clear that they had stolen silver off my ring. When I got it back it was 50% thinner than when I had brought it in. It then began to stain my finger, so they clearly used some sort of alloy to cut down on the cost. Then when I took it back for the finger staining issue, they said they would fix it. When I came back the second time to pick it up, the ring was once again even thinner. And I was told, your ring will probably break because it is so thin. Once that happens just bring it back and we will do it again(at cost obviously). So a week went by and my silver ring snapped in half while riding my bike. I went to a different jeweler and they fixed it at a 10% discount of what monson did it for. Moral of the story, go any where else, and I am sure better work will be done for you.

Monson Jewelers and more importantly Tim Monson is one of the most trusted and respected Jewelers in the business.Ive personally purchased well over 20 items from my wifes gorgeous diamond wedding ring that gets compliments on a daily basis, and rings, Rolexes, bracelets and necklaces.Tims fairness on price and his personal love in creating the right piece for the important occasion is incredible.There is no person or store that I trust more then Tom Monson and Monson Jewelers.

I started working at Monson Jewelers while in high school. Tim and his staff mentored me and it was an honor to learn the ins and outs of the jewelry business from them.I now buy many gifts for friends and family at the store and even treat myself sometimes! I highly recommend Monson Jewelers for anyone looking for exceptional customer service and high quality jewelry.

Review №37

I was buying my girlfriend a birthday present and was a little nervous about going to a jewelry store. I didnt have a lot of money to spend, so I wasnt sure how much help they would give me. They treated me like I was buying a diamond ring when I was really only buying a small pair of earrings. They told me if my girlfriend didnt like them that she could return them without a problem. She really liked them. I will definitely go back for Christmas.

Went to go see Tim and his staff for a watch that was passed down to me from my grandfather. The clasp has broken and the face cracked when it fell off my wrist. Tim and his employees showed the utmost care for my watch and the work looks excellent! Couldn’t say enough how positive my experience was working with them and I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Review №46

The man working was extremely condescending and aggressive upon entrance. Kept reaching out and touching my arm softly and was apparently more worried about me making a claim against him before even talking sizing or price. Couldnt even give me a price right away for a simple sizing (he said hed need 3 hours to know) then tried to add on extra work to a piece that absolutely did not need it just so he couldnt be blamed for damage after he sized the ring? Took it to a super nearby competitor....they told me the price immediately, smirked at the repairs suggested (confirming my suspicions on Monson just upsaling or having problems working on antique jewelry in the past) and will have it done in less time....all without treating me like he was doing me a huge favor or worrying I was going to rob him after completion. 10/10 steer clear of this place if you value your jewelry and dignity.
