Drew worked with my now husband to make the perfect engagement ring. We both wanted something unique and Drew was able to help design the perfect ring to suit our style. When it came time for the wedding band we knew we wanted a Raybar design again. I wanted to mix metals, so Drew listened to what I envisioned and was able to provide digital renderings during the design process so that we could see the exact look of the band itself and the two rings as a set. Drew and co. are kind and professional and delivered both rings in a timely manner. We highly recommend!!
I chose to use Raybar Fine Jewelry off of a recommendation of a family friend, and am very grateful I did. Drew & company are friendly, personable and professional. I had a stone from an old family ring re-purposed into a new engagement ring for my now-fiancé.First and foremost, the end product is astonishing and exactly what we were looking for. This was my first time purchasing a higher-end jewelry piece, and Drew was patient and helpful in walking me through the process. The team at Raybar is communicative and attentive, and even though I was on a tight timeline and our simple petite band was nowhere near the intricate custom pieces Raybar creates, Drew managed to get it done right on time amongst their busy schedule (and Im sure there are much more lucrative jobs they could have chosen to focus on).I would give Raybar 6/5 stars if I could, and can confidently say Ive found my jeweler for life in this small hometown family business. We are looking forward to having a custom wedding band made in the future. Thanks again yall!
From the moment I walked in and met Drew and Nikki I felt at ease! I came in to discuss designing my engagement ring and was overwhelmed and a bit nervous. I had an idea of what I wanted, but was also unsure since I mostly own fashion jewellery. Drew spent weeks sending me different digital mock ups (videos and pictures), helped me figure out diamond sizes and went over different settings. He took my idea and created a breathtaking master piece. I didnt want to see the finished ring because my boyfriend wanted to have an element of surprise when he proposed--and I was absolutely blown away. Drew will forever be my go to and I cant wait to refer him to everyone I know. Thank you!
Walked in on a Saturday to have my rings sized and they was able to get it done the same day. Very professional and very sweet. Originally had planned to go somewhere else but the fact they had a 5.0 caught my eye and I can see why.
I had a loose diamond and melee diamonds I wanted set into a new setting, so I inquired with dozens of jewelry stores in the area. I decided to work with Raybar Fine Jewelry due to the positive vibe and professionalism I received from Drew. The first impression was superior to all of the other jewelers. Drew created a draft of my e-ring from my blurry reference photos and a CAD I had. He sent me a CAD to review before he started to create the ring. I pointed out some things I wanted to be changed, and he corrected the details better than I could have imagined. Once I received the ring, I could immediately tell it was high quality. The center stone is well-contained within the setting; the claw prongs are even and look aligned—no scratches on the bands or welding stains. No damages were noted to my diamonds, and everything was intact and pristine. The diamonds I brought in were the diamonds set on my new ring. You don’t have to worry about switcheroos here. Drew is patient and straight-forward. He pays attention to the details, and the customer service was out of this world. I receive so many compliments on my ring, and I do not hesitate to tell people that Raybar Fine Jewelry created this beauty. My fiancé and I will work with Drew again for my diamond wedding band. Thanks again Raybar Fine Jewelry!!!
Everyone is always so nice and helpful. Ive come in for small repairs and cleaning and they get it done in a few minutes. Ive even brought in old costume jewelry and they fixed it because they knew that the piece is sentimental and the importance of it.
They provided excellent service and I would definitely go back again. The jewelry is beautiful.
Absolutely phenomenal work!!!!! I literally cried a little bit when I sat back in my car and just stared at my ring in complete awestruck. They brought my well loved wedding set back to life and in less than 24 hours after drop off at that! I truly cannot thank them enough! So if you want a trustworthy, local jeweler then Raybar’s is for you and I promise you that you will not be disappointed ❤️
Above & beyond service. Down to earth, honest and hardworking local family business.First time buyer of any jewelry & the Raybar family walked we through the process all the while maintaining complete transparency on how to design a none traditional, custom piece for my now finance.Ring needed to be sized down after the proposal & within a day Drew had it back on her hand. We will definitely be using Raybar Fine Jewelry for the wedding band and will be referring them to anyone looking for custom made jewelry in the future.
We have been customers of Raybar Fine Jewelry for many years and are always so pleased with everything they create! The attention to detail is what makes them special. Designs that are brand new and designs recreated from your saved precious treasures all become your favorites.
This is my second time working with Drew. This time around, I had a heirloom ring that I wanted to add to with a custom wrap. Drew was amazing in creating exactly what I was hoping for, with patience, clear communication and fair pricing. The ring was finished on time and its perfect. I couldn’t be happier with my finished ring and the process of building a custom piece.
Raybar Fine Jewelry was wonderful! Professional, kind and easy to work with. Drew met with me and helped me create an amazing engagement ring that suited my future wife perfectly. She absolutely loves the ring!
My husband and I stopped in to get my engagement ring looked at because I thought the diamond might be loose after getting my hand caught in a door. We were able to be seen right away and Drew carefully examined my ring. He also gave me a complimentary ring polishing. Thank goodness my ring was ok. Everyone was very courteous and professional and took time to listen to my concerns. I would very much recommend Raybar. Will be back in the future!
Jerry and Drew Raynor, are the father-son team who own and operate Raybar Fine Jewelry. Following a family recommendation, I stopped in to check it out.These two men are the most welcoming and knowledgeable professionals I have met within the industry. I was blown away by the abundance of information they provided about precious metals and diamonds. After speaking with both Jerry and Drew, I became interested in melting down a few ounces of gold, and a diamond ring. They took my vision and brought it to life in a way I could not have imagined.The prices were fair for the amount of time and effort put into my bracelet. Between the attention to detail, and the customer service my girlfriend and I received, we are customers for life. She will be wearing a one of a kind ring from them in the near future. While they don’t have many pieces on the floor, they are truly custom jewelry designers who can bring any vision to life.
My first time visiting this jeweler and they by far exceeded my expectations! I’ve found “My Jeweler” for life!!! Good people, excellent service! Fixed my ring in a day when I expected at least a week turnaround. Check out Raybar!!!
Updated Review: After their exceptional service the first time, I returned to Raybar and had my engagement ring, my grandmother’s wedding band, and another ring in for resizing. I arranged a time to come in online through YELP but arrived there about 30 minutes later than I had planned. But I was promptly helped and left my rings for their work. Just a few hours later all 3 of my rings (that needed additional gold) were done and looked amazing! They took such good care of my rings. I will also say that everyone I have met (receptionist and the father and son) were extremely kind to both myself and my young son. I actually had a lot of fun during my time there :) Thanks Raybar!Today I went in for a sizing up of my wedding band. I was able to immediately sit down with the jeweler, he helped me find the size I wanted it to be, and assured me it would be done the same day (on a Saturday). Within just a couple of hours I was texted that the job was done. My wedding ring fits perfectly now and I am so happy to be wearing it again! He was even able to engrave the original quote inside of the band. Thank you for the professional, kind, and exemplary work!
The staff here was very friendly and informative. I felt that they had my best interest at heart when assessing my family heirlooms. I called a few times prior to visiting their location and each call was answered immediately. Met with Drew in person and he was extremely knowledgeable providing an abundance of information that suited my interests. Overall was a wonderful experience and I would greatly recommend taking your appraisals needs and other jewelry interests to Raybar Fine Jewelry.
If you are looking for a store to handle your jewelry needs, look no further. 5 stars is not enough for the type of service that Raybar provides. Jerry, Drew, and Nikki were wonderful and their customer service was impeccable. I had my wedding rings cleaned and plated and they have never looked better! Seriously. The shine is incredible!I also worked with them to create a custom piece of jewelry. Drew answered all of my questions and thoughtfully explained my options regarding my vision. The final result was gorgeous and very reasonably priced. I wouldnt go anywhere else to have a custom piece of jewelry made. You cant go wrong with Raybar!
I highly recommend Raybar Fine Jewelry! From my first call to pick up I had great customer service and an amazing finished product! I had several rings repaired/plated/cleaned and none of them have ever looked so good!!!! If you are looking for jewelry experts, look no further! Your questions will be answered and your work will get done for a fair price and an extraordinary result!
Exquisite custom jewelery!! Jerry exceeded expectations so many times for my customers in the past when I worked for Sterling Jewelers in Ohio. If I needed high quality custom work and at a fair price, I would definitely make the trip to his store. Amazing!
I personally dont think a 5 star rating is high enough for Raybar. Drew went above and beyond to make a gorgeous & custom engagement ring. Not only did he make our few ideas come to life - he was very easy to work with, making the whole ring shopping experience a breeze. We will definitely be back for all of our jewelry needs!
I was in need of 2 bracelets being repaired. With so many places still not open or independent persons not doing business currently, I looked online. I found Raybar and after calling and having Drew confirm they were open I headed out. I live a pretty good distance, so I was more than excited at how nicely I was treated and how efficiently. Jerry, who i later found out was the owner, offered to repair both pieces if I would like to wait for a few minutes. I did and he did and he was wonderful and I was very appreciative, as I have an 87 year old mother with dementia and doing normal things is not always so easy, so again THANK YOU JERRY AND THANK YOU RAYBAR JEWELERS!
Amazing service! Drew did an amazing job at resizing my rings. Turn around was next day. So happy to wear my rings!
I came to them with a task of making a handmade chain and they killed it! From the beginning Drew, was very friendly and helped explain what was possible and what was not, when trying to reuse old gold. The gold I was using had sentimental value to me and Drew helped come up with a awesome Chain idea, and the end result was exactly what I wanted.
Drew is insanely talented and helpful at turning your vision into reality! I had him create a custom ring for me and he was able to look at a blurry photo and make my ring even better than the photo! I highly recommend Raybar to anyone looking for a custom piece of jewelry.
On the spot watch service. I was in and out in 10mins. Very friendly and professional staff with a beautiful gallery of pieces at fine prices.
Provided Great Service. Helped me find the right chain length and style for me. Good prices too!
Drew helped me make a custom engagement ring from start to finish and surpassed all expectations in price and quality. He was very professional, extremely informative and guided me through the process of stone selection to design elements with excellent advice. He used pictures I provided from my fiancees pinterest and Instagram and came up with a design that fit her style. The best part was that I had no real idea of what I was looking for and the finished product was perfect in every way. Cannot recommend Raybar enough.
So glad I chose here to get my engagement ring fixed! Drew was super nice, easy to work with, and finished my repair quickly. My engagement ring looks brand new 😍😍 definitely will choose Raybar’s for any future repair needs!
Raybar redesigned and reset my wedding ring in platinum and I couldn’t be happier. Jerry and Drew took the time to sit down with me to listen and understand what I wanted, then they created a wax model for me to try on and approve. And the end result is amazing! My husband and I are thrilled and will not consider any other jeweler but Raybar. They are conscientious, trustworthy, timely and organized. There’s good reason “fine” is in the shop name: Raybar’s work is absolutely fine art.
This was the first time that I used Raybar Fine Jewelry, as I was referred to them by a good friend. I must say that my experience with them was nothing short of excellent. This is a family business and dealing with both Jerry and his son Drew was great. They spent quite a bit of time with me and even showed me their shop where all the hard work, creativity and attention to detail takes place. I took them a mans ring with some diamonds that needed to be replaced as well as be repaired in some other places and be cleaned up. Drew took a few high resolution pictures of my ring so that he could clearly show me where the ring needed to be repaired and rebuilt. That was very impressive to me. A week later I picked my ring backup and was quite surprised at how beautiful it looked. Again, Drew took another high resolution picture of the ring, then placed both pictures side by so that I could see a Before and After. I was very, very happy with their expertise, their work, and the time they spent with me. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone in the Virginia Beach, VA area and beyond to pay Raybar fine jewelry a visit the next time you would like anything jewelry related. Hats off to both Jerry and Drew for a job well done.Mike S.
I wish I could give more than five stars! I am so incredibly happy to have discovered Raybar. After having a seriously frustrating and negative experience working on a custom engagement ring at another local jeweler (which took some five months), I wound up with a ring that I was pretty unhappy with, and my fiance had spent a significant amount of money on. When I first met with Drew, he provided honest and professional advice about how to go about fixing the problem with the other jeweler, before we even expressed interest in working with Raybar. I felt as though he was talking to me as a friend, and I felt like I could trust him instantly. His advice was so helpful, and we ended up getting our money back from the other jeweler. Despite the lengthy negative experience with the other jeweler (which sent out the ring to be built rather than building it in-house), we decided to try doing another custom ring with Drew, and I am so happy we did! He provided helpful websites and designers for inspiration, and quickly came up with a design that truly represented what Ive been looking for. When we first consulted, I told him we had an upcoming trip to visit my family a couple weeks down the road and would love to have it completed by then. We just picked it up yesterday, on time, gorgeous, produced right at Raybar and just how I envisioned it! My fiance and I are truly happy and well use Raybar for all of our jewelry needs going forward! Cheers to these guys!
Wonderful service, had to get my engagement ring resized and you can’t even tell they did anything to it! They’re even sanitizing the store between services! SO thankful for these people!!
I had a very specific vision for the engagement ring I was having Drew create, and he enthusiastically tackled the project on time and with incredible results. He made the process feel very comfortable and accommodated several incremental changes to the design and mock-up options so I would be happy with the end result, and a I am! It is exactly what I wanted, and his suggestions improved my original ideas. My fiancé loves the ring Drew made. I highly recommend Raybar Fine Jewelry and will come back for future projects.
I had wanted my diamond taken out of my platinum and placed in a different setting. They did a beautiful job and at a great price. Shop local!
We initially found Raybar through a friend and werent sure about how to go about finding the right engagement ring. As soon as we walked in and shared a little about what we were looking to do, I knew we were in the right place. Both Jerry and Drew were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Of course to top it all off, Raybar created my engagement ring to perfection! I will definitely be back for the wedding band to complete the set! And would highly recommend for jewelry customization! Thank you!!
My husband and I have been considering having the heirloom diamond his mother passed to us placed in a different setting. It is nerve wracking to consider how much it would cost & if there are any jewelers who would be willing to take the work without upselling, as well as worrisome leaving something so precious in the care of someone else. When meeting Drew and talking about the ring and the work, my worries vanished as he was welcoming and knowledgable, quoted an affordable price and took the time to sit with me and show the diamonds unique charactersitics and how to recognize them. He was timely with the work and was able to set the diamond in my rose gold setting beautifully. Drew and his dad are honest, skilled artists and my husband and I will be going back for our future jewelry needs.
Amazing tailored support for my needs! I’m at work on literally the other side of the world and Drew was able to take my rough guidance and create a magnificent piece of jewelry for my wife’s 40th Birthday. On top of the exceptional design and construction of the Jewelry; his personal touch by ensuring that my wife was surprised when she arrived at the store and made sure that the my accompanying letter made it to her as well was truly above and beyond!!! Thank you Drew and know that I will always happily recommend you online or in person any day!!!
This jeweler is very competent and helpful. I completely trust his advice and craftsmanship. He helped to restore my ring back to its original state after some bad work done by a different jeweler. He also took the time to show me exactly what had happened and explained what needed to be done. I would highly recommend Raybar Fine Jewelry to anyone and will be going to them for all of my future jewelry needs.
I can not recommend this place enough! There is such great work and amazing customer service here! I received my piece of jewelry in about 2 weeks and it was spectacular work. Drew made it such an easy process and was very helpful. You will not be leave here disappointed.
Really very happy that we stopped by this jeweler.They were able to size down my wifes platinum wedding band on the spot. It only took about 15 minutes. We werent expecting this and it really made her day!Additionally, the price was much better than some competing jewelers that we checked in the area.They were very polite and professional.I highly recommend that you stop by and check them out.
While shopping for a bridal set we visited several popular dealers and jewelers. Raybar is by far the best! They helped us design a unique engagement ring and wedding band and created amazing cad renderings of the set and even created a resin model that we were able to see our selected diamond set in and try on. They then made the set and it turned out beautifully!Raybar jewelers are knoweldgeable, professional, personable and above all trustworthy! I would recommend them to anyone in need of a fine jewelry piece!
I cannot express how pleased I am with the remake of my engagement ring into a pendant. Drew provided drawings and suggestions and the finished product looks fantastic. Great service and I felt confident the whole process would go smoothly. I highly recommend this jeweler.
I got my wedding band custom designed here. The entire process was so much fun, I got to pick out intricate details of the ring, which made it so much more personal than just picking a ring from a catalog like the other places. My ring is one of a kind and the cost was extremely reasonable! I will always come back to Raybar, their work is unique. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS!!
Stellar service, extremely personable and VERY professional.Im pretty picky about who I let do work for me, this establishment has gained another new client.Very fast as well.Id highly recommend using this business for all jewelry needs including custom work.Pricing is very reasonable.Thanks guys!! Ill be back!!
Loyal customer obtained! The absolute best jewelry repair. Drew is a fantastic jeweler that cares about his customers. He added sizing beads to my top heavy engagement ring. It fits absolutely perfect now! It was done in one day so I didnt have to be without my new engagement ring for long. Will definitely be coming back for any other jewelry need!
Raybar Fine Jewelry is a very friendly and professional company. I went in to get an appraisal on my engagement ring and the experience was great. I was given plenty of information which made my decision an easy one to make. They complete work in a timely manner and fair in pricing. I definitely recommend this establishment for your jewelry needs.
Drew helped me create a completely custom three stone diamond and sapphire engagement ring that turned out beautifully, and was perfect for my wife. We took a few months to tweak my initial design concepts, settle on one, create a preliminary CAD model, refine the CAD model, find the right stones, and then cast and finish the ring. Most of the time was design and decision-making on my part. Im pretty sure Drew got tired of seeing me walk into the store every day on my lunch break... :) The actual production was pretty quick once we nailed everything down. I had a lot of fun making the ring and look forward to my next custom piece with Raybar. Also, the final price was about a third of what the blue box store wanted for a simple solitaire, and the final result was so much better. My wife loves how well ring fits her style and tastes, and loves the fact that I was so involved in its creation. I really appreciate all of Drews help!
After searching for a reputable local jeweler on Google, Im glad I decided to give Raybar a visit. Drew, one of the goldsmiths, was able to refurbish my white gold wedding ring while I waited. When he finished with it (less than 15 minutes), the ring looked better than when I first got it almost six years ago. He polished the ring to a bright, mirror finish.Honestly, I was skeptical about all their raving reviews, but after giving them a try, Im now sold on their reputation and will most definitely be returning in the future.
Rare find in Virginia Beach true artisan craftsmen!!! After trying several high end stores and being pushed around i’m so glad I found this father and son team. They are genuine and talented goldsmiths. They made the most impressive custom engagement ring of heirloom quality, this ring will last generations. Whats even better was their willingness to use family heirloom diamonds, no pressure to buy or upgrade the stones through them. I loved working with Drew on the design process and had some great concepts to add to my ideas, you can tell they are both very passionate about designing and crafting quality unique jewelry that stands the test of time. The communication was excellent thought the entire process, timely service and a followed up after too. We have found our jewelers for life.
Raybar Fine Jewelry has been so good to my fiance and me. Weve been searching for a custom wedding band for a long time now to fit my unique engagement ring (square-cut sapphire with diamonds in the band and surrounding the sapphire), and a simple gold band for my fiance at a reasonable price. Drew and the Raybar crew were more than willing to help us adjust my wedding band to fit perfectly with the engagement ring. For my fiances band, he wanted something simple, yellow-gold, and 5-6mm, but many places have overcharged even for a simple ring like this. However, Its clear Raybar understands the trade, as Drew was able to discuss sizing and pricing immediately over the phone. When we explained our long-distance planning process, he was more than willing to consult with us on what band and size would work best for my fiance, and recommend other resources and businesses of the same caliber. If youre looking for great service and an honest business, Id highly recommend them.
I came to Raybar with my wedding ring set after having an.... interesting.... experience at another jeweler. I went to the other jeweler to have my engagement ring and wedding band sized (from about an 8 to a 4) and eventually fused together. They sized my engagement ring correctly, but sized my band almost half a size too big, and told me it was needed in order to have them fused together. Of course, I went along with it because they were the professionals, after all! When I finally did get the rings fused together, and got them back, I noticed they didnt exactly line up. After I showed my husband, he said you definitely need to take it back and get it fixed. So I went back a week later, and expressed my concerns, in a polite way. I didnt come in, guns blazing, demanding to speak to the owner. But, I felt like I was treated as if I did. The guy who worked on my rings, who is also the owner, spoke to me as if I was stupid, and like I shouldve known why it looked the way it did, saying that it was because I had it sized so small (which I cant help!) and because it was just a generic ring and wasnt custom. I kept my (disgusted) thoughts to myself, and left very disappointed. Now, to Raybar! I came in, desperately hoping they had a better opinion than the first place.... and they saved the day!! After explaining the situation, they more than understood, and said theyve even had this happen before. Where people came to them to have their jewelry fixed after being poorly done at the other place. They resized and put my rings back together, and tightened all the prongs around the stones, for less than what I paid previously to just have them fused together! So from now on, I will only be taking my jewelry, and referring friends, to Raybar. Superior work, and excellent pricing! Couldnt be happier!!
We found Raybar Fine Jewelry through our research to find a quality jewelry repair shop. Drew was awesome!! His professionalism, detailed knowledge of the pieces I brought to him and explanation of the repairs, not only made the visit personable, but set my mind at ease. You only get one chance to make a first impression and Drew, you nailed it! Thank you so very much. Stop in and experience them for yourself.
Jerry and Drew of Raybar Fine Jewelry are some of the finest jewelers you will ever find. I have gotten to know them both quite well over the last several years, as they have custom created several pieces for my wife including her engagement ring and wedding band. Their team is able to create beautiful one-of-a-kind jewelry unlike any other. Furthermore, as someone who is always eager to stay on budget, their creativity has always left me satisfied that I have received a tremendous amount of value with each purchase. Of course, the customer service is also second to none, and its obvious Raybar puts its customers first. They understand an open, back-and-forth dialogue is a critical part of the process. Most importantly, I have never once felt like they were trying to sell me. Rather, they wanted to be sure that I was happy with my purchase within my allotted budget. I would urge any family or friend to visit Raybar for any jewelry needs.
I took 2 pieces of jewelry for appraisal to Raybar Fine Jewelry. They were very professional honest, courteous and timely. I was very pleased with the service and highly recommend them.
This place is amazing... Super friendly and extremely professional. I strongly support HR small businesses and would recommend EVERYONE to get any/all jewelry work done here!!! I went in multiple times with questions and they always were very courteous and polite. You have just earned a lifelong customer!!!
I desperately needed a ring size before I go on deployment and found these guys on Google. Out of the many jewelry stores that I did call, Drew at Raybar was the most informative and didnt talk like a usual sales representative. True to his word, he did the resizing the same day I dropped it off and stuck with the original quote even though there was some additional work that was necessary because the ring had to go so small. They literally do the work in their store and he showed all the neat tools and equipment they use to get the job done. Highly recommend him.
Finally found someone to shoot straight with me when it comes to diamonds. I worked with Drew Raynor, co-owner, and was able to figure out exactly what I needed. Unlimited possibilities with the custom designs and expertise of the jewelers. It was nice to talk with a jeweler instead of just another sales person, the whole experience was much more productive. Highly recommend everyone checking this place out.
Drew did excellent work and went out of his way to provide convenient, quality service at a great price! The custom designed engagement ring he made (in house) for my fiancee and me is fantastic! I highly recommend Raybar Fine Jewelry to anyone looking to get custom work done for any occasion.
The customer service Jerry and Drew provide is awesome. They took their time with me as I only had a general idea for a ring that I wanted made in honor of my Mom. The ring they designed and ultimately delivered, was beautify, reasonable in price and simply exceeded my expectations. Not only will I always think of my Mom when I wear my ring but I will also smile when I think of the Jerry and Drew. I already have plans to return for another piece to be made. I cannot give Raybar enough stars!!! Missy
Best experience by far. They designed a beautiful custom ring that my fiancé loves. I was included in every step of the design process. Highly recommended, I will be a customer for life. These guys can do anything.
Redid finish/size of our platinum wedding rings we inherited. Great job and super nice!
I am so happy with the my sapphire bracelet that Raybar made for me. I had links from a bracelet that was stolen from me. I had a hard time finding a jeweler that could duplicate the bracelet. Raybar did a fabulous job df duplicating an unusual design. Drew and his father seem to really care and made this experience a good one. All my jewelry will now be from Raybar. I trust this team for value and quality.
We went in to get a ring re-sized and they noticed some big issues with it. Without hesitation they explained what needed to be done and gave us high quality photos to show the rings maker. They were extremely helpful and really saved us a lot of money. There is no other place I would go now.
We absolutely loved working with this jeweler! Drew and his dad were so kind and so easy to work with. They did some amazing custom work for our wedding rings for a fraction of the cost of what another local jeweler had quoted us. We are so thankful for Raybar and look forward to working with them again in the future!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at the family owned business Raybar Fine Jewelry. The owner Drew was very nice, helpful, and patient as we designed my engagement and weddings rings. I absolutely love them! I got exactly what I wanted.
Excellent consultation, design, and work. I went here for an engagement ring. They were able to take my basic ideas and turn those into a beautiful ring. After choosing the stone they sent me a design of the final ring. All the work was done on site. Highly recommend this place for fine custom jewelry.
Drew at Raybar is the BEST! I have been going there for my jewelry needs for several months and I always leave extremely satisfied. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and always able to service my jewelry timely and effectively. Im thankful I found such a great place!
My husband and I went to Raybar fine jewelry to have my engagement ring appraised for our insurance company. We had such a wonderful experience! We were expecting the worst when we first handed over the ring and learned a diamond was chipped but Deborah was amazing and walked us through all the different possibilities. They cleaned the ring, tightened the prongs and turned the diamond to protect it from further damage. They even polished up my wedding bands.The whole ring inspection was done in front of us in a timely manner and any questions we had were thoroughly answered. We received the appraisal a few days later via email including a recommendation for an insurance company to use. I choose the store based on google reviews and am so happy I did. We highly recommend Raybar and will definitely be back again. The Hershey kisses offered to our daughter were also a nice touch!
Went to Raybar to get appraisals on some estate jewelry. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt like a friend, not a customer. Jerry and Drew where exceptional. I believe that they are 100% honest and care much more about lifetime customers than a quick sale. They helped me with my appraisals with knowledge and professionalism... I will be back to Raybar for all of my next jewelry purchases.
Drew (co-owner) couldnt have been more helpful, honest and fair in helping me through a jewelry insurance claim process. He helped me understand the process and made it quick and easy. Wonderful local, family owned business that I would recommend to anyone with any small or large jewelry needs or questions.
Im the guy that reads everyone elses reviews and never write my own...unless of course the place REALLY deserves it. Raybar is that place. I had my wifes engagement ring, wedding band, and my wedding band custom made here. The attention to detail, communication throughout the process, and the quality of work were beyond what I was expecting. Even a year later Drew follows-up to ensure everything is good! Do yourself a favor and use Raybar for ALL your jewelry needs.
I went to the NEX on Little Creek, to get my rings sized and rhodium dipped. They couldnt give me a price and said it would take about 3 weeks. Then Marie told me about Drew at Raybar. So I went and he is the nicest guy! He quoted my amount and said he could finish it THAT DAY! (Yes, the same day!!) it didnt even take 3 hours! And they look so BEAUTIFUL! I swear they look better now then when I got them. I couldnt be more pleased with my experience. Raybar will definitely have a customer for life. Thank you so much Drew!
Great Experience. This is a credible business that you can trust. I felt that Drew had my best interest in mind through out the whole process. Highly Recommend.
I first stumbled across Raybar when I was new in the area and my girlfriend needed a ring repaired that had a broken band. We were on our way to a different jeweler but got stuck in traffic and werent going to make it before closing, so we ended up at Raybar because it was open later. When we walked in, Drew treated us like long time customers even though wed never met before. He fixed the ring while we waited, and for a fraction of the price we expected.When I was looking for an engagement ring, I went back to Raybar. This time Drew remembered me, so the great service was even greater. He quoted me a lower price than those big jewelry stores in the mall had, and he didnt pressure me into anything. All the other stores Id gone to tried to convince me to buy what was popular; Drew custom made the engagement ring I knew my girlfriend wanted. The ring he made was perfect. When it comes time to buy wedding rings, I wont even consider going anywhere else.
Jerry and Drew Raynor custom made my wifes engagement ring and wedding ring; lets just say my wife is in LOVE with them. My wife also bought my wedding band there which has treated me well. Every time we need our rings cleaned, or adjusted they are always there to help. If you are looking for basic watch/jewelry repair to high-end custom jewelry and everything inbetween this is the jewelry store to go to. I refer all my clients to them knowing they will be taken care of and get exactly what they want.
Been meaning to write this review for a good while now, so here it is: Relatively new to the area, but not new to jewelry stores. Since I travel a lot, I like to get gems from the places I visit and have, for twenty years, had my family jeweler set them into jewelry for wife. When we moved to Virginia Beach, my wife and I went to about every local jewelry store in search of a reputable, trust worthy jeweler to take over the job of repairing and making new jewelry from scratch. We went to about 6-7 places, but came back to Raybar Fine Jewelry because not only was Drew and his Dad clearly the most talented, but because we were treated like friends more than just customers. In the last 6 months, weve had 3 custom rings made with the stones that Ive bought overseas and each ring has been a work of art. My wife loves each one and cant wait to sit down with them again and design new jewelry. If only I can speed up my travels to bring back more gemstones!
Excellent customer service, very reasonable repair pricing, and the repair/cleaning process has made my wedding band just stunning! I had lost one of the small diamonds and was very disappointed that the other jewelers had to ship it off and the replacement estimates were so high. Rabars cost was much more reasonable and the work was completed in four days. Highly recommend.
Went in on Friday afternoon to get my ring resized. Had it finished the same day. Family/locally owned, and everything is done in house. Exceptional service & will be recommending them to everyone for all their jewelry needs! They are big on repairs & custom jewelry.
My husband originally bought my engagement ring and wedding band from Raybar Fine Jewelers before they opened this store. Since its our five year anniversary, we decided to have another identical band to match the other. Jerry and Drew made the PERECT match within one week from placing the deposit. Im a nit picky type of gal and they made it virtually flawless. Highly recommend their talents. I tell everyone to go see them for all things jewelry. So happy!
Drew did a great job repairing the thin, crooked shank on my engagement ring. I did not know what to expect and was really nervous to bring my ring for repair despite all the good reviews. I am not from the area and did not know where to take my ring. I finally caved as I had really stopped even wearing my ring for fear that it would crack and I would lose it. Drew was straight to the point and told me what he would need to do to repair it and the cost. I also got it appraised while it was there and Drew told me about a jewelry insurer and sent me the link to set it all up. My ring looks amazing and I am pleased with the appraisal. Thanks Drew!
Very happy customer here! On a whim, I took my ring in to be repaired and it was repaired to my exact specifications. Drew was very friendly and is a true professional in this business. I will definitely be making Raybar my jewelry store for any and all future purchases.
My first experience with Raybar Fine Jewelry was more than I couldve hoped for! With being new to the area, I was very nervous about finding a jeweler I could trust with a repair on my engagement ring and a gold chain. I took the advice of fellow Google reviewers and brought my items to Drew at Raybars. He was very pleasant, professional, and speedy! My items were fixed and ready for pick up on the same day and looked beyond beautiful with the polish treatment they received. The price of the repairs were half of what I was ready to pay. I would highly recommend trying this place out and also checking out their custom jewelry I enjoyed looking at while we chatted. I know I will be returning in the future!
Absolutely an amazing experience! My wife and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary in June and for years we havent wore our wedding bands due to their condition. Both were broken and bent from years of wearing. We were hesitant to let anyone work on them because of their sentimental value. The bands were originally made from a ring that was given to us by my wifes mom. Drew was able to completely rejuvenate their appearance and fix all of the defects they had. They look and feel even better that the originals. Drew even gave us pictures of the entire process which include melting them down and adding more gold. Thank you so much for your outstanding quality work!Bernie and Sheri
Drew is the man! I went in to his shop absolutely clueless about anything jewelry wise. He took the time to sit down and answer every question I had. He guided me through the process and made sure I knew what to look for while shopping for a ring. They had excellent excellent service and attention to detail. Ill recommend Raybar Fine Jewelry to all my friends.
I recently went into Raybar Jewelry with a couple rings that I didnt have paperwork for and without a lot of knowledge of diamonds or jewelry. Without hesitation Drew provided me a crash-course on engagement rings, stones, and wholesalers, as well as measurements of my rings and ball-park estimates for what the rings would be worth at both appraisal or consignment value. At no point was his time or information predicated on using him as a jeweler and he informed me of multiple directions I could go in to purchasing an engagement ring. His service was impeccable as was the time he devoted to my questions.
After losing over 150 pounds my wedding set was far too large. I sadly was wearing a costume piece and was really wanting to be back into my own rings. After a few weeks of searching at many jewelry stores and pricing sizing all three bands, buying a new set, designing something different I was discouraged with all my options UNTIL I met Drew.I explained my situation, presented my rings plus an extra heirloom diamond I wanted to add and he came up with an amazing design that incorporated 90% of my original wedding set diamonds plus my grandmothers diamond and then designed it to also fit perfectly with my 10 year anniversary band that I did not want changed at all.The process was amazingly smooth and I was completely informed throughout. From design, to casting, to final product. I also had a desire to have my new ring before a trip for our anniversary and Drew made it happen!!!!If I could give this business 10 stars I would. True craftsmanship in a small family business with an attention to detail and their customers needs and dreams !Bravo !
Had a custom ring made here and turn out amazing! Very happy with the results and we receive a routine cleaning. The people are really easy to talk to and helpful when trying to find the perfect ring for your loved one.
Raybar Fine Jewelry is the only place to go to for all your jewelry needs. They have a great selection of unique fine jewelry. Drew was very helpful and informative, our experience was excellent I will be back and I recommend them for any of your needs.
My husbands wedding band had to be cut off and after much trepidation decided to trust someone to fix it (Im very sentimental). We were blessed to find Raybar. Not only did they repair the ring (cant even tell it was ever cut off) they went above and beyond and fixed it same day (a Sat mind you) when they realized we were leaving for my sons wedding that Monday. 5 stars is not enough. Will never go anywhere else. Thank you.
Great experience and excellent value. My wife loves her rings. They made her vision a reality.
I cant say enough good stuff about Raybar! My engagement ring and wedding band are perfect. Drew is awesome and always keeps my rings looking new! Wouldnt think of going to anyone else for my jewelry.
They are very friendly and knowledgeable. You have questions and they will answer with no attitude like you get at other places. They will be the only jeweler I use now. I cant stree how friendly they are, it was like doing business with a longtime friend. Plus they are honest....
Drew was so helpful and we learned so much through this process. He stuck to our budget and got us the best ring our money could buy. My wifes ring is beautiful and she could not be happier. Even though we live out of state we will be customers for life.
The people at Raybar Fine Jewelry were friendly and very helpful. They fixed my custom jewelry beautifully and in the time promised. I highly recommend Raybar to everyone looking for personalized service!!
Very happy with my experience. Deborah, who did my ring appraisal was very easy to work with, very informative and helpful. As for Raybars, the owner and his son Drew were amazing. Great atmosphere.
I was told by multiple jewelers that my center stone could not be set in my semi mount. Raybar jewelers took on the challenge and customized my band PERFECTLY!! They are knowledgable and they made me feel so comfortable!! I have found my new jeweler!! I will recommend them to anybody!!
My trusty old necklace finally snapped and I needed to find a jeweler. After asking around, my brother-in-law recommended raybar. Jerry fixed my necklace in 30 minutes and cleaned it, too. Hasnt looked this good since I bought it over 20 years ago. Thanks.
My fiance and I loved collaborating with Drew on my new engagement ring! I have an art background and he was able to materialize what I had in my minds eye for the longest time. I couldnt be happier with the entire experience!
