Dave worked with my husband on an anniversary band for our 25th last year. The ring is gorgeous! My husband does not know a lot about jewellery and Dave had never met me, but somehow he designed the perfect ring for me. Love the sparkle :-) and as an added bonus, it is actually comfortable to wear.

I worked with Dave to create a wedding band that matched my engagement ring and he did not disappoint. He’s very kind, respectful of your budget, and educational. If I could give him a 6 star rating I would. I hope to use his expertise in the future with a ring I received from my Grandmother after she passed.

My husband arranged to have a wedding band created for me 13 years ago and it was a great experience then. Recently I needed to have a repair done to my actual engagement ring and David took the time to analyze, fix and ensure that I won’t have any future problems with my diamond. The service is phenomenal….. his expertise and demeanour exude the trust necessary for dealing with these precious items… I highly recommend him!

I had a fantastic experience getting an engagement ring custom made by Dave Conger. Actually we went originally to have some jewellery repaired and decided he was so professional and qualified and wonderful to deal with that we had him make a custom ring. During the process he let us see the quality of the diamonds to make sure we were happy with the choice. When the day arrived to pick up the final product. It was a wow moment. The ring was stunning. Gorgeous craftsmanship. My only problem is we will miss seeing Dave.

Dave did a great job at making both my engagement ring and our wedding rings - they are beautiful! Despite having to meet at the end of his driveway because of covid, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dave was flexible, professional, and generous. I highly recommend Conger’s!

I had the pleasure of working with Dave for an engagement ring and wedding bands.
I was quite unfamiliar with the process but Dave's experience and professionalism allowed him to give me fantastic suggestions and recommendations, everything turned out extremely well.
I'd highly recommend Dave and Conger's Jewelers.

Dave was amazing to work with. We created a custom engagement ring with him. The process from start to finish was really exciting. We got an inside look into the process of making a ring. We shared all of our ideas with Dave and he was able to give us expert advice into which ideas would hold up well and which wouldn’t (something I would have never thought about on my own). If you’re looking for a jeweler to bring your dreams to life, I highly recommend Dave. We are so happy with the engagement ring he helped us create that we will also be getting our wedding bands made by him.

If Google allowed more that five stars to be given, Dave Conger would receive them. This is a long review but if you are a person who was in my shoes, I hope you read this.
This year, I decided that I wanted to propose to my girlfriend of four and a half years and I wanted to give her a ring that she could cherish for years to come to commemorate the event. One problem - I'm thirty and, before working with Mr. Conger, still had absolutely no idea what to expect, look for, or ask when finding the right ring for my (now) fiancé.
I did some exploring throughout the city, meeting a few jewelers

I bought my ring online when I was in Vancouver and brought it into Congers' Jewellers after a recommendation from the jeweller who resized the ring, to have it appraised. David was thorough in his explanations before, during, and after the appraisal. Afterwards it was discovered that some features of my ring were not as advertised. Using David's… appraisal as documentation I was able to fully recover the amount I overpaid for the ring. David offered good advice when I asked him how to approach asking for a refund. I'd come back for future jewelry related needs.
