Swain and Adeline's ring: This one-of-a-kind engagement ring features a stunning lotus flower design, intricate hand engraving symbolic to the couple and a beautiful Montana sapphire centerpiece - ethically sourced and mined right here in the USA.

I originally considered purchasing an engagement ring from an online vendor, but after my experience at Jewelsmith, I couldn't be more pleased...From the moment I walked in, she offered consistent, clear, and transparent support with a shining artistic vision offering no less than perfection. The care at Jewelsmith in both customer service and craftsmanship is not just about the jewelry, but the timeless memories it inspires. I couldn't be happier with this experience and highly recommend Tracy and the team to anyone looking for stellar service with a dazzling personal touch.

We loved our experience and got the most beautiful engagement and wedding rings made. We were so happy to work with Tiffany L. She was kind and knowledgeable.

Jewelsmith is incredible! They created the perfect custom engagement ring for my fiancé. Mary and Erin were wonderful to work with, and Patrick brought our vision to life. My fiancé loves her ring, and we couldn’t be happier. Can’t say enough good things about this team!

I purchased a loose diamond and brought it to Jewelsmith to help me design a custom engagement ring. The experience was phenomenal in all respects, and the end result is exactly what I had in mind. Thank you Mary!

Tiffany at Jewelsmith is by far one of the most talented, compassionate, intuitive jewelers we have had the pleasure working alongside. She reset my great-grandmother’s ring gifted to me by my late aunt that would become my engagement ring...What a gift to have pieces created with such thoughtfulness and care. We feel ourselves, our stories, and loved ones no longer with us will be forever honored. Thank you to Tiffany and the entire Jewelsmith team.

I couldn’t have had a better experience with Jewelsmith! Mary was such a pleasure to work with and helped me design the most beautiful and perfect ring for my fiancé! Would recommend them to anyone, especially those looking for a local jewelry shop!
