    We left a wedding ring off for repair. We have. been trying to get it back. The phone and email do not work. Every time we drive by the store it is completed locked up. Does any one know where Elliot Shelton, the owner is? We have filed a police report.

    Shelton Custom does amazing work but I do hope Elliott hires someone to handle calls, emails and management. I don't want to see his business fail, his family name is well known and my wedding ring looks amazing. But I had issues contacting him about my ring, and the lack of communication was frustrating. It's hard to find a trust worthy jeweler in town and I wanted to give Shelton Custom a chance since we purchased our wedding sets with Elliott Shelton's father back in 2016. I am happy with the ring repair I had done, but the frustration of calling every day was stressful for me and my husband. At this point I cannot recommend Elliott for any repairs just because of the lack of communication but I would consider buying something from him in the future. Honest opinion. He's not a bad guy - but I think his business is missing something important, someone to help Elliott out. In a business a manager would handle complaints, a sales person or receptionist would schedule appointments and Elliott could focus on his custom work and repairs, something he obviously does well. And Elliott, if you're reading my review, thank you for fixing my ring and trying to make it right. I hope your business flourishes and you find someone to help you out in the store. I hope my review one day becomes a 5 star review instead. But right now after the last 3 weeks I am going to leave this honest review of how I am feeling in the moment after getting my ring back finally. Again I have no issues with the repairs done, my ring is fixed, it looks amazing. I just have an issue with how the business is run and I feel a few things need to be changed to continue to be a successful business. Best of luck to you Elliott.

    Best jewelry repair in Albuquerque. Quick, honest, not expensive, owned by actual jeweler, not just a retail shop. Will continue to patronize and refer to him.

    What can I say, this place is the real deal. I started my engagement ring search online, as I usually find better deals, but was quickly overwhelmed with how many variables go into picking the perfect ring and diamond. After a lot of frustration and realization that I didn't have the time to properly self-educate myself, I decided to check local stores. I started with Shelton's as I was familiar with the store from living in the area for a few years. The first time I visited, Eric spent 2+ hours giving me a real-world education on diamonds and showing me many different variations in rings and diamonds. There were lots of things I would have never known had I relied on just reading articles online. He also jumped through numerous hoops and even ordered a couple diamonds for me to look at, only to return them upon realization that they came from a questionable source. The entire time I felt that Eric had my best interest in mind and I didn't even bother going to other shops. I did check comparable diamonds and rings online and found that Shelton's was giving me a great deal. I also don't think I would have made such a good choice without Eric guiding me through the process, and you can't put a price on that. In the end, she said yes and absolutely loves the ring. If you're looking for an honest place to shop for jewelry, I can't recommend Shelton's enough.

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience buying simple wedding bands from Elliot at Shelton’s! From the very beginning, Elliot listened to us, was friendly, and never tried to upsell us on anything we didn’t want. We paid a very reasonable price and experienced excellent customer service. Go to Elliot. He’ll take care of you.

  • 2/5 Sum N. 5 years ago on Google
    I went in to consign an old mine cut diamond I no longer wanted and I was told by the appraiser my diamond appraisal wasnt accurate in the gentlemens opinion. I went in to try and sell my J si2 diamond and he wanted to sell at a k color price for about 6k whole sale price and I would get 3k take home. My reason for wanting to consign it was because I didn't want to sell dirt cheap at wholesale. I sent my diamond to GIA and sure enough It was J color si2 NOT a k color. The master J color diamond he compared mine to is wrong! He said mine wasn't as bright as his j color, GIA states other wise.

    Elliott did an amazing job redesigning my wedding ring and band. They are beautiful! The team at Shelton Jewelers was helpful, professional and a pleasure to work with. The experience was outstanding from start to finish. We highly recommend them!

  • 5/5 Kathy N. 5 years ago on Google
    My husband and I chose Shelton Jewlers to design and make my new wedding ring. Elliott was so very nice he helped us in every detail from designing the band, choosing beautiful diamonds and creating an image of what my ring would look like for us to see even before it was made. We are so happy with the beautiful workmanship put into my ring. Elliott and Shelton jewelers are amazing and will be the only place we shop for our Jewelry.

    I met with Barbara and she offered me the best solution to accenting my jewelry without having to replace it. I would definitely recommend this jeweler.

  • 5/5 Debbie W. 5 years ago on Google
    I would like to thank the folks at Shelton's, especially Elliott, for the excellent service they have extended to me recently. I have had several issues with a ring (not purchased at Shelton's) and they have gone out of their way to help. I greatly appreciate their exceptional level of customer service!

  • 5/5 Celeste D. 6 years ago on Google
    My fiancé and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Shelton Jewelers for our proposal. Stephen pulled through to have my engagement ring set and ready in about 2 hours for the surprise proposal on Friday morning. I went on to get the ring sized this morning thinking that it would be ready in a week, and they had it sized and ready within 15 minutes! Beautiful store and amazing staff, we will be customers for life!

  • 5/5 Alexandra S. 6 years ago on Google
    We had the best experience with Elliott designing my engagement ring and wedding band. Most beautiful ring I couldn't have even thought up. We were taken great care of and highly recommend Shelton Jewelers!

  • 5/5 Marla M. 6 years ago on Google
    My experience at Shelton Jewelers has by far, exceeded mine and my husband's expectations. Recently, I was on a mission to find a particular wedding band, however; sometimes knowing exactly what you want can be a bit of a challenge. Luckily, we had the pleasure of working w/ Barbara who is AMAZING! She made me feel so comfortable from start to finish, as I am a very particular person. I will not settle for less when I know what I want. Barbara just had a magical way of listening to, and validating my concerns without making me feel like my expectations were too high. No matter who you encounter at Shelton's, I'm sure you'll be in great hands but trust me, Barbara is something special.

  • 5/5 Tamara D. 6 years ago on Google
    My fiancé and I highly recommend Shelton Jewelers. Their products and service are of the highest quality. Hannah not only helped us find something that fit our unique tastes but educated us in the process. The whole time making us feel as ease and taken care of.

    I was looking for a jeweler to fix my vintage Bulova watch and found Shelton's Jewelers online. Elliot did a wonderful job of fixing my watch and he shined it up beautifully for me he was very pleasant his customer service skills are amazing. I definitely recommend this place to anybody that needs their jewelry cared for with love

  • 5/5 Andrea N. 2 years ago on Google
    I cannot say enough good things about Shelton's! I had an anniversary band added to my set by Kay Jewelers and it was sent back twice with large gaps and not sized right... To say the least it was a big disappointment! My engagement ring was purchased from Shelton Jewelers so I decided to take it in and see if they could help me fix the mistakes Kay's had made. Well I am absolutely in love with my set now! Everyone I worked with there was so friendly and welcoming. The master jeweler was very informative and I felt I could trust him and his opinion from the get-go. A big lesson learned to always shop local first! I would highly recommend Shelton Jewelers for all your custom jewelry needs!

  • 5/5 dro115 4 years ago on Google
    I had an amazing experience working with Elliot on getting an engagement ring. The time and effort of all of his hard work truly shows and is much appreciated. My now fiancé and I are very happy with the end result. They now have a lifelong customer and I would highly recommend going through them.

  • 5/5 Dawn V. 3 years ago on Google
    Elliot resized and welded my anniversary band to my wedding set at a very reasonable price. He even went out of his way to bring my rings back to me because I had hurt my back and couldn't drive! Elliot has earned a customer for life!

  • 5/5 Chris M. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent service. Great Customer service also. Very accommodating and helpful . Our Sheldon employee, Brice was very accommodating by helping us with resizing our rings. Good job well done thanks.

  • 5/5 Ashley B. 3 years ago on Google
    My fiancé got my engagement ring from Shelton and had a pleasant experience making the initial purchase. We came back to get my wedding band and were able to find the perfect one. They were very helpful and professional in both transactions. Fast forward 6 months and I needed a slight adjustment to my ring to make it absolutely perfect. I made an appointment with Elliott to see if he could help me out and he was able to do exactly what I wanted right then and there. I was in and out within the hour with my perfect ring! I highly recommend working with them!

  • 5/5 Dillon M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow Shelton Jewelers is a fabulous jewelry store! Elliott was so helpful and kind, I could not ask for a better experience!!!

  • 5/5 Alex L. 1 year ago on Google
    Talented genius… don’t worry about the timing these things are for a lifetime. I don’t want him to change his business into a standard jewelry shop, so be patient… he did three pieces for us and well worth the wait. If you want good websites and instant text go to the mall..

  • 5/5 Michael M. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped in to have my wife's Swiss watch repaired. Elliott was able to make the repair while I waited. Based on this experience I don't think that I will be taking any of my fine jewelry anywhere else. Thanks for your care, Elliott!

  • 5/5 Mark M. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped by with my brother yesterday to have a post put into a broken watch... Didn't catch his name, but he put a rush on the order and really came through on the spot. I'll be coming here for all my jewelry and repair needs. Much appreciated and have a great holiday! Cheers!

  • 5/5 Lori 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful experience with exceptional customer service. I was able to get a piece repaired while I waited. Amazing craftsmanship. Thank you Shelton’s!

  • 5/5 J M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great customer service! Great pricing! High quality work! Went in for a ring resize, speedy work, couldn't not tell the difference post resize. Support local!

  • 5/5 John S. 9 months ago on Google
    They made finding the perfect engagement ring easy, and within by budget. Elliott was extremely professional and I would recommend him and the store to anyone. We will definitely be going there for any of our future needs and I know he will always be looking out for our best interests and it’s nice dealing with someone who you can count on. Not to mention she absolutely LOVED the ring!!! Thank you so much!

    I noticed a prong in my engagement ring felt rough. My husband and I visited Shelton Jewelers to have it checked. The experience was wonderful! A capable, knowledgeable young man took care of my problem and returned my rings sparklingly beautiful. Thank you for your great service! Virginia Fultz

  • 5/5 Peter G. 7 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ian C. 3 years ago on Google
    This will probably sound like an off-beat review, but hear me out, because it speaks the man behind the company. In 2016 I was going through an extremely difficult time in my life. I had lost my fiance, both grandmothers who were my rocks, and my mother, almost all at once, one after another. I had fallen deeply into alcoholism. As my life began to crumble because of my poor handling of it I began to sell off family jewels. I believe I worked with Eric on three different occasions, and he was one of only two humans who were kind to me during this time. He probably smelled the alcohol, he heard the story of my family, and he took his valuable time...and gave it to me. He heard I had an interest in the geological side of his business, so it seemed that he was trying to take my mind off my troubles even temporarily when he showed me the different gems under the microscope and taught me about inclusions and the different qualities of diamonds. He taught me how to evaluate pearls without needing tools. He just sat and talked for a bit, just one human to another. He could have easily undercut me and pushed me out the door. But he didn't, even when he had other customers waiting on him. Now I am better. I've been sober and fixing all the damage I did to my life. But his kindness has always stuck with me. I will go to no other jeweler than Eric Shelton. He now has a loyal customer, simply because he chose humanity over business when he didn't have to. I suggest you choose Shelton Jewelers because, even though I don't know his staff, I doubt a man of his honor and integrity would choose to surround himself with anyone other than people like himself. Thank you, Mr. Shelton.

  • 5/5 Audry m. 3 years ago on Google
    Elliott Shelton was great! He went over every detail while customizing my beautiful wedding band! He kept in contact with me through the whole process and I am very happy with the way my ring came out! Great experience over all. I will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Noa M. 3 years ago on Google
    Hi just got engaged, The day after, the stone in my setting was jiggling, I took it right over to this jewelry store, and Elliot fixed it for me within 10 minutes. I did not have to leave my gorgeous ring there overnight! Thank you so much, this was such a blessing!!!

  • 5/5 Brittany C. 3 years ago on Google
    I went in to have some repair work done on my engagement ring. Elliott was able to fix my ring while I waited and he even plated the ring for me! I was really impressed with the quality of service at Shelton Custom and will continue to bring my business to Elliott. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Kate, Tyler B. 3 years ago on Google
    My husband and I shopped around online, and visited other local jewelry stores for our wedding rings before landing at Sheltons. We left other stores feeling disappointed in the lack of customer service we received, or being let down by a dismal selection (especially in mens rings). Without a doubt, we made the best investment by purchasing from Shelton Jewelers. Not only do they have a great selection but their knowledge, expertise and customer service are bar none! I would not trust my diamonds with anyone else. We are glad to see their family-owned tradition now continues with Shelton Custom, and look forward to many more years of knowing where to shop for our jewelry needs.

    Elliott did amazing work and the customer service was excellent!! Would highly recommend for new, upgrade or repair! Completely satisfied.

  • 1/5 Kathleen G. 3 years ago on Google
    Worst place to shop ever. I went in with my own diamond and had them put it in a setting. Setting was done but it took forever and when I asked them if they could clean my sterling silver chain, they stretched it and then blamed me and said I switched it out with another one just so I could get a new chain! Why on earth would I do that for a $12 chain? They basically called me a liar and said the one they cleaned was not the same one that I was trying to get replaced. Good grief. Nothing like getting my business just to run me off by accusing me of theft. Needless to say I will never step foot in that store again. Also, now I buy my beautiful diamonds from James Allen and have someone else. mount them. Note: this happened over 4 years ago and I never did a review. I didn’t know Shelton closed...

  • 5/5 Maxwell W. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing. Would never recommend anywhere else. Mark and Stephen were the people that helped me out and they were absolutely incredible

  • 5/5 T S. 4 years ago on Google
    Elliott customized rings for my husband and me and they came out beautiful. They truly left us speechless and are far better than we dreamed. Thank you, Mr. Shelton for collaborating with us to create a set of rings we wear proudly.

  • 5/5 Tom L. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent shopping experience! Delightful and extensive jewelry inventory. This is a family business (no box store or chain operation with a 10AM to 6PM mindset ) and it is obvious they are working really hard to get it just right for their customers! We were really pleased with our purchase and the great support.

  • 5/5 Matthew L. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Krista B. 5 years ago on Google
    Kamy, at Shelton's Jewlers, took such good care of me! She allowed me to take my time, enjoy the experience, listened closely to what I had in mind and showed me all the options which best suited my wants and needs. What a first class jewelry store with a gracious welw informed staff! And what a wonderful experience! ⚘

  • 5/5 Sharon M. 5 years ago on Google
    Kamey and Elliott were amazing! They both worked with us and our budget to help us end up with the perfect rings that we are very happy with. We have been here many times, and everyone that we have worked with has been knowledgeable, kind, and professional. They really go out of their way to make their customers happy.

  • 5/5 Alanna 5 years ago on Google
    We have worked very closely with Elliot. He has been absolutely amazing. We found a man's ring we liked the design of but not the small size of the diamonds so Elliot re-created the ring but enlarged the diamond size to our specifications. My fiancee's ring came out so fantastic! The white gold of his ring shines bright and the diamonds are tastefully large enough to catch the light just right and still remain VERY masculine and elegant. As for my wedding bands, we knew we needed it to be custom made because of the unique curvature of my engagement ring. Elliot walked us through the process, showing us the 3D images. Sometimes pictures don't come out exactly as the real thing but these real life bands came out exactly as Elliot's design images. In fact, once completed and placed around my engagement ring, the bands turned out BETTER than the images Elliot created, and those images were breathtaking. I highly recommend Shelton Jewelers and if you're wanting custom work done, Elliot Shelton is the man to turn your dreams into reality with the final results being even better than you could imagine. Words don't do his work justice. Elliot Shelton is a true artist. As an added bonus, Elliot uses high quality diamonds that result in a brighter, brilliant, shine/sparkle!!!
