Been searching a while for an upgrade wedding ring for the wife. 20 year anniversary. Stopped in at John's on Xmas eve and found the perfect ring. Not only given a great price but the team was outstanding. Stopped in on the 26th to have it size expected it to take a few days but was completed within 2 hrs. Amazing people and service John and team provide. Will be back and we have been telling everyone. Thank you again John and team!

John and his staff have been nothing but wonderful to work with. I was referred to them by multiple family members and it’s always been such a great experience every time. They are always friendly, transparent, and offer great prices on jewelry along with repair. Turn around time has always been quick as well. 10/10

I love this family owned jeweler. They have been my jewelers for almost 10 years now. Most recent was creating my cross-over ring for me out of my wedding sets. I wanted something special to represent the passing of my husband. The work is SUPERB!! They will continue to be my till the day they close, which I hope is never!

So I got an amazing Citizen dive watch from Johnny several years ago and I love it! Well, I'm really rough on it and I broke the band recently... I was so bummed out. I called Johnny and he said drop it off and we'll inspect and repair it as needed. Wow, Johnny took care of it and I'm so excited as I can finally wear my dive watch again. Thank you Johnny and John Wallick Jewelers - you love what you do and it shows! PS: my wife still gets compliments on her wedding ring diamond that you upgraded for us some 20 or so years ago. Thanks! Rich
