Roy John Designer Goldsmith

Jun 17th, 2023

I was in need of having my stem/posts replaced on my diamond earrings and Roy was the only one I would have trusted! While he doesn't keep typical jewelry store hours, he's an amazing custom jeweler and was quick to get my earrings completed! I am VERY happy with the work and would definitely use him again for ALL of my jewelry purchases and repairs!

I didn't dare go in because I knew I would get caught up for several hours adoring these amazing beauties! I was oooo-ing and awww-ing through the window. The artist came to the door and asked if we wanted to come in. Our food order was up next door, which was my saving grace because I'm a & -aholic. I said "next time!" I will return and gather better pictures when I'm tooling around DT again. Beautiful work!

In retrospect perhaps I just should have left immediately because the way I was greeted by him at the door was off putting. He kind of just waved me in like it was a major inconvenience to be speaking with me. Once I entered he began interrogating me about everything from my career, marital status and home ownership. I got the strong impression something was wrong here and I decided not to proceed. I felt if my husband was present or another person was with me he would not have treated me in this way. I do not recommend this place to anyone. I grew up in Salem but have lived in Seattle until recently. I am used to snobbery but this something I can do with out. I do not recommend. There are world class gold and platsmiths in Portland and given this experience it's worth the drive!

I researched this jeweler before I brought my precious engagement ring to have a stone replaced. Mr. John was fabulous, quoted me a very fair price, and when he returned the ring it was more brilliant than it has ever been. He secured all the prongs on the many other diamonds, and really took his time to ensure I would not have another tragic loss. He also has some incredible original designs of his own in the studio, which I plan to purchase at a later date. Can't say enough good things about this jeweler.
