I can’t say enough good things about this business. Right after DOMA’s repeal, my partner and I put it into high gear to put together a wedding. We did not have a lot of money to spend on rings and were worried we would not find anything. We even considered just going to a stand in the mall (shudder) Enter Leslie. We sheepishly walked in, and she made us feel so comfortable and she was so warm. We looked at a wide range of rings in our price range, and after much flutter, ended up picking the same design. They were custom made and could not be more beautiful. Never once did we feel pressured to spend beyond our range. Leslie, you made this potentially anxiety provoking situation something exciting, fun and sacred. This is what good business is.

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.

Starla was amazing! She helped my fiance and I pick out rings, and got them to us way before our ceremony! Highly recommend this company. Her attention to detail is great, and the follow through on the promises is beyond amazing! I will definitely send people here, and will come back in the future.

If I could give ER Sawyer 6 stars I would!! Leslie Griswold is wonderful!! I don’t know full details of the engagement ring process, but Leslie and my fiance (now husband) went above and beyond choosing the perfect diamond and custom setting to surprise me with on our engagement. Leslie makes us feel like her only customers! We chose our wedding bands with her as well. She even text me a couple weeks before our wedding day (yes, she remembered our wedding day!) as a reminder to bring the bands in for cleaning and inspection prior to our destination wedding. WHAT??? Is she my maid of honor?? She’s amazing. I also text her back asking for a surprise engraving 10 days before our wedding and she got it done right away. Shop local, its SO worth it. Thank you Leslie and ER Sawyer, you are our jeweler for life and we have been recommending you to everyone!

Thank you for everything Leslie!!! You took great care of my fiance (at the time) and I when we were looking for the perfect ring. This was a very nerve-racking endeavor at first and I appreciate how you made us comfortable and answered all of our questions.

My mother gave me a pair of earrings worn by her when she came from Greece to the United States in 1949 to marry my father. I don’t know how long she wore the earrings before that but I am guessing a long time. I have had them for over 50 years myself but they were broken and worn. They have tremendous sentimental value to me. I brought them to Leslie at E.R. Sawyer Jewelers. She immediately understood how important the earrings are to me especially because I want to pass them down to my granddaughter someday. Leslie did a fantastic job on the earrings. They turned out perfect and I am so thankful to her. She is so personable and caring. I highly recommend E.R. Sawyer Jewelers!

Leslie and the team at ER Sawyer go above and beyond in all aspects of customer service and experience. My husband selected a family heirloom ring to propose, but it needed a new diamond and some serious cleaning/restoring. He took it to ER Sawyer and they made it look like a brand new ring – the before and after photos they have on file are jaw dropping (I love that they could show me a before pic, once I had it on my finger). Unfortunately, my ring size wasn’t known and it was made a few sizes too big, so I went in a few times to get it sized back down. Since the filigree on my ring is so small and detailed, Leslie took the time to show me under the microscope all of it’s beauty and rarity. Being a platinum antique ring, they ensured me that their goldsmith would use advanced laser technology and explained the techniques, so I wouldn’t worry so much about damaging the ring. Both Leslie and Morgan were very helpful during this process. When it came time to pick out a wedding band for my husband and myself, Leslie spent time with each of us to find out what we wanted, show us examples to try on and answered all of our questions. We never felt rushed. Leslie also made herself available via email for me to schedule drop-in times and order details. Payments were super easy and accommodating and included cleanings for my ring have always been quick and wonderful. My husband loves wearing his new wedding band and I love my combo of my engagement ring with the new custom made wedding band. We are so grateful and pleased with our experiences here at ER Sawyer!

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).

The fiance and I decided to check this place out based on a recommendation by some close friends who had just bought the guy’s wedding band here. since we were up that way we wanted to see what they’re talking about since at some point we need to get His band walked in one Saturday afternoon and they looked busy, good sign. the place looked nice and inviting, not too many sales people, phew. with lots of good lighting. we were greeted instantly by Judy who inquired about our visit and took us to the guys wedding band section… she was very helpful and listened to everything we had to say to help us figure out what we did/didn’t like. never at any point did we feel pressured to buy; i’m sure it helped we mentioned we hadn’t looked at wedding bands yet at all, but still it was appreciated. we learned a wealth of knowledge during our visit about the different metals, finishes, widths, etc. to wedding bands. Judy was so helpful and informative, we spent damn near an hour in there looking at bands…naturally i was curious about a band for me! so i tried some on too his/her rings were a bit more expensive then what i expected (this coming from the girl who’d only looked at Costco and ShaneCo, lol) …also HIS exact ring isn’t available to try, we have to order it so it’s a gamble to order. overall a great experience, no wonder my friends got the guys ring here!!

I came in at the last minute to see if I could get our wedding rings cleaned and polished before our ceremony (in 2 days!) and Leslie was so helpful and put a rush on our rings (no extra charge!) and when I saw them the day of the wedding, they were SO BEAUTIFUL. They all looked better than I remember when we first got them! Absolutely will come back here for any ring or jewelry services. Thank you Leslie!
