Customer Testimonials
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.

It’s great to see an old school business doing well. We wanted a mokume gane ring to match mine from many years ago. As it turned out, he is the only distributor in the area, after picking it up from where I got my ring. The work is beautiful, the owner is friendly and straightforward.

Classy, Personal and Efficient are all words that describe ER Sawyer Jewelers.
My mother-in-law recommended this local shop to my sweet husband for my engagement ring. My husband told me that Leslie worked so well with them. She helped them find the perfect ring to match with the grandmother’s ring that I was also getting. Leslie even texted my husband in the winter months to make sure that the ring was still fitting. I love the thoughtfulness and personal touch of this kind deed.
When I took my rings in to get cleaned and soldered before the wedding, Leslie was so sweet and helpful. You can tell that she enjoys her job and getting to know her customers. When I picked up my ring after it was soldered together, she mentioned that she wanted to see wedding pictures next time that I was in. So almost 1 year later, I went to get our rings cleaned for our 1 year anniversary and I brought my wedding album to show her. She happily stopped her work to sit with me and to genuinely enjoy the album. I am grateful that my husband chose my ring from this shop.
P.S. (If you do go in and Leslie is helping someone else, she might not greet you until she is done with her current customers, but that’s because she gives 100% attention and love to the customers that she is working with in that moment). I am thankful for her great customer service.

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!

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!

My wedding ring had become fatigued and started to come apart. Brought my ring in and talked to the lady’s at ER Sawyer where they advised me on my options to have my ring repaired. I decided to also have my ring re-sized. They were very helpful and polite and my ring was repaired very quickly. It’s hasn’t looked this good in a long time. I would highly recommend using them.

So 2 days before I was supposed to leave for Maui I decided to clean my engagement and wedding bands and some other jewelry before we left. Unfortunately after cleaning them in a ultrasonic I noticed that one of the smaller diamonds on the side of the ring had dislodged! I called up E.R. Sawyer Jewelers and asked if they would be able to reset the diamond before my trip. Initially the girl I had spoken with said they were about a week out for projects but she said she would ask the goldsmith. He was not only able to do it the same day but had it done in a couple of hours! My ring looks amazing and brand new! They even steam cleaned my wedding band while I waited to pick up the engagement ring! I highly recommend them, their staff is courteous and professional and they are super accommodating!

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).

I’ve been searching for 20 years to turn my parents wedding rings into one ring for me...Leslie worked with me to pinpoint my vision for the final product and it turned out perfect!

Sawyers is the best! I will not go to another jeweler. Leslie was perfect. She is very knowledgeable and took as much time as I needed to help educate me on all things related to the ring selection process. The end result was a ring that my fiancé loves. The experience has made me a lifetime loyal customer.
