My wedding set from 1966 is a lovely unique design, and for many years I have been wanting to have it rejuvenated, and procrastinated until now, worried about the appraisal$$cost and that I would be disappointed......My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner!!! Thankyou so much Hermann for your encouraging email; Ann for your warm personable service and expertise and of course the ‘jeweller’ who performed the majic❣️

My words cannot do justice to the magic that is Alyea's Jewellers. From my first meeting Anne and Herman, to my spotting my beautiful platinum set diamond solitaire engagement ring (2008), to our recently needing to combine two rings into one ring, the service, design artistry and craftsmanship have been exquisite and beyond stellar. Alyea's was able to combine my grandmother's heirloom three diamond ring (great-grandmother's engagement diamond from 1898, great-aunt's engagement diamond from 1911, and grandmother's engagement diamond from 1927) with a 12 carat blue topaz (with multiple little diamonds

I can't say enough good things about Alyea's Jewellers. I had lost 2 small diamonds from my wedding ring after 42 years of marriage! I love this ring. It has become a part of me. I was worried about taking it off and giving it to Alyea's for repair especially during Covid. Well Alyea's came through in spades!. Not only did they repair my beloved ring, they polished it and cleaned it so it came back to me looking brand new. I felt like I was getting engaged all over again. Kudos to Alyea's for exceptional service and exceptional work.
PS the claws on your rings that hold your stones should be checked

Bought our wedding bands from Alyea's 23 years ago and Anne was a pleasure to deal with. Skip forward about 5 years, 18 years ago, I walk in to have a ring replaced through my insurance company and Anne greets me by name at the door, as if she had seen me yesterday, impressive! Now I walk in 16 years later (2018) and without missing a beat Anne greets me again by name as if we were old friends, amazing! ...and I do feel like we were old friends.
Bought, resized and custom ordered a half a dozen rings in the last 23 years, with Alyea's, and Anne and her staff have always made me feel welcome and

I went to Alyea's to get a custom necklace setting for a Roman coin and I am thrilled with how it turned out! My whole experience at Alyea's was great. Anne was a pleasure to work with, she was as excited about my idea as I was. We worked out a design for the coin's setting together and discussed options for the necklace to go with it. She called when the design was ready so I could approve it and make any last adjustments. And the team there had it ready for me right before Christmas, which I really appreciated as I was able to wear it over the holidays. I would highly recommend Alyea's to anyone

My fiancé and I (she said yes) worked with Maggie at Alyea’s Jewellers to create an engagement ring, which was crafted in-house with very attentive and timely service.
More specifically, Maggie was down-to-earth, friendly, humorous, patient and helpful in working with us to design the ring that we wanted and within our budget. She was able to guide us in our choices and a number of design revisions, while keeping with our wishes. We never felt pressured into choosing certain grades of diamond or ring material/design; instead we came away feeling enabled and more educated than when we first

Alyea's is much more than a store, it's an experience - heartwarming, welcoming, like the employees know you! It's more than being a customer, it's about sharing our personal moment, ensuring that the wedding rings were about our love, about us. Maggie was able to draw from the picture in head to the sheet. Best Service!

Alyea's was recommended to me for resizing my heirloom engagement ring. They did a fantastic job! I especially appreciated the care they took to explain to me the history of the stones and the setting, before doing the work and all of the options they gave me re: refinishing the work on this family heirloom. It was ready within 2 working days and beautifully cleaned and polished when ready for pick up. Thank you Alyea!

I cannot say enough good things about the service I received from Alyea's. My fiance and I were looking to have a diamond that she inherited from her mother set in an engagement ring. We had gone to several other jewellers who all either seemed disinterested or to not understand what we wanted to have done. When we spoke to Luke at Alyea's, he immediately understood what we wanted done and gave excellent advice that answered all of our questions. I ended up having a custom ring made and it turned out even better than I had hoped. The service we received was very reasonably priced and worth every

I had a wonderful experience with Alyea's making a custom engagement ring. Charles guided me through the process and helped design a ring that worked out just right. At the start, he said that their primary goal is to provide an amazing service in order to help you get the piece that you imagined and that is exactly what was provided. After the first session I went to several other jewelers, but Alyea's stood out for a number of reasons. First, I was dealing with an experienced jeweler as opposed to a retails saleperson. That was extremely beneficial when it came to working out a design, as he

I wish I could give Alyea's 6 stars. We had been searching high and low, unsuccessfully, to find a wedding band that would complement my antique engagement ring. Charles and the team were able to custom design and make the perfect band that was much more beautiful (and cost less money) than any other comparable bands we had seen. The day after I dropped off my engagement ring, they already had a plastic version of the wedding band ready for me to try - and the actual band was ready only a week later!
Charles also helped me find a unique, perfect wedding present for my husband-to-be.
