We worked with Leslie at ER Sawyer for our engagement/wedding rings. Leslie helped my husband design the most beautiful custom engagement ring, better than anything I could have imagined. And then for his gold wedding band she showed me different options and helped work with my budget. We are both so happy with our experience at ER Sawyer and highly recommend working with Leslie!

So happy with this place! One of my best friend’s mother, who’s lived here all her life – and she just turned 94, still sharp as a tack – recommended them to me. Morgan Griswold, with whom I worked with to evaluate whether certain items were worthy of repair, appraisals, whatever, is very savvy and cordial. Looks young, but is quite experienced in the business. I would imagine that in a rather small town, now much larger than when I went to high school here in the ’60’s, reputation is key – and that has allowed this place to survive and thrive.

Sawyer’s is the best, with fabulous jewelry, a friendly staff, and great jewelry repair. In the midst of things few can afford is a smattering of affordable pieces that will make anyone smile. It’s a place to dream and a great store to buy something special for yourself or a loved one.

Nate was the man! I was looking for the perfect ring for my fiance and he listened to me and my wants and found me just what I wanted and more importantly my now wife loves the ring. I recommend everybody go to E.R. Sawyer if you want a great experience with amazing jewelry.

Hometown business since the 1870’s. Top notch customer service. Selection of jewelry is not big city tremendous. And the styles tend towards middle of the road. There’s no big inventory of cutting edge wacky ultra-modern designs here. What they carry is good quality at fair prices.
Bambie, the spouse, purchased a $1000 ring that she wore for just 24 hours when she decided that it was not comfortable. We returned, explained the discontent and our money was promptly refunded. There was nothing else in the display cases of similar style that called out. The search for a topaz & diamond ring continues.
Highly recommended on the strength of the wonderful employees.

This place lives up to the reviews, I was very impressed. Because of my work schedule I didn’t have much time to shop for my wife’s birthday, and I wanted to get her a locket engraved with a B and a picture of our son inside. I fully expected not to get it in time for her birthday, due to my lack of planning. I believe I worked with Alfredo, although I am terrible with names, and they where able to get a locket, engrave it, put the pictures in for me, help me pick out a chain, and wrap it up within one day! And it came in well under my projected budget. I was very happy with ER Sawyer, and will definitely return.

Went in for some earrings for the lady for her birthday. Staff was first class, made some very helpful suggestions and gave me a huge range of options. Got a great diamond set of earrings at a good price. Very good at what they do.

Fantastic service and knowledgeable team! I had to get my ring sized down (2 whole sizes wowza) and i needed it the SAME day!
They came through, and provided great service along the way! I highly recommend this team and store!

I needed to get my great grandmother’s engagement ring sized to fit me. I should preface this by saying that I was incredibly nervous for anyone to mess with this ring because of how old it is and how important it is to me. I saw glowing reviews for ER Sawyer so called and the woman on the phone said they could have it back to me before Christmas (a three day turnaround) and that depending on the ring, it would cost $60-80. I showed up on Wednesday morning and Richie helped me- he was so nice and helpful- quoted me within the cost I was told over the phone and he also showed me my ring up close and talked about its qualities. They said my ring would be ready by 12pm on Christmas Eve and the call came a day early! I went by and the ring was still a little big (thanks, mom, for the honey fingers) and the owner came over and looked at it with us. He said they would have it ready by that night or the next day which was fine since I wasn’t expecting it till then anyway. My ring was ready the next morning. Merry Christmas to me because not only did it fit perfect but they “shanked” it for me because it had been wearing down under the finger. They had mentioned I may want to do that but it would be a little pricey. They just did it because I had to come back and they wanted the job done perfectly. This shop went above and beyond my expectations for sure and they were all incredibly kind. My fiancé will need his sized too and we are definitely going back.

My wedding ring needed to be resized. I did some research and found ER Sawyer is the only jeweler in town that is part of the American Gem Society. My husband and I didn’t feel comfortable to leave it with just ANY jeweler (especially since my husband put in quite a bit of money for it). It gave me confidence that I was giving my ring to a jeweler that adheres to an ethical standard and that I know they will do the work right.
Judy was very helpful. After she measured current ring size and put in the work order, she took the time to answer all my questions and show me some pieces they offer. It also gave me a chance to get to know and see for myself why the other yelpers gave this place positive reviews. I had a pleasant experience just to even browse around this store and not feel pushed to buy.
I received the ring about a week and a half later. The ring fits beautifully and looks perfect! I’m happy I can start wearing it again. I would definitely come here again in the future. (Maybe I’ll convince my husband to get my engagement ring re-set here for our wedding anniversary… wink wink).
