I am looking for a new ring for my wife of 10 years. I wanted to get her something nice, and like I do with any big purchase, I have been researching diamonds. I was going to go to a large big box diamond jewelry store because I heard they teach you about the diamonds and what to look for. But, I like to shop local, so I asked a friend where she would go to buy a diamond ring. She recommended Snyder's. I called ahead to ask if I could view some diamonds. The woman on the phone was pleasant. She told me she preferred to educate clients about diamonds, and would set an appointment so I could view the diamonds with a microscope and see the difference between the various clarity levels. This was exactly what I was looking for, so I set an appointment for that afternoon. She also told me there was no guarantee for a lost diamond, but she could help me insure the jewelry, and that sounded fine to me. My wife and I arrived, and the woman I spoke to on the phone was busy with another client. We ended up being helped by an older woman with dark hair. I told her I wanted to buy a diamond. She asked me what for and I said a ring. She said we should look at settings first. I started to try to explain that I had an appointment to view the diamonds but she cut me off, and began focusing on my wife and showing her rings. They did have a nice, varied selection. We eventually found something my wife liked. This part of the experience I felt like we were wasting this woman's time. I could not shake the feeling that we were being judged. We do not dress in fancy clothes, and I am a left leg above knee amputee, so I think she thought we had no business buying $8,000 dollar rings, and we were just wasting her time. She was knowledgeable about the different metal options, white gold vs platinum, rose gold ect. But when I asked to see a platinum next to a white gold it seemed like a real hassle to do so. After we had a ring selected, I left to use the restroom. During this time, she asked my wife were we lived. When she found out we lived in a very nice area, her demeanor changed. This is when she finally pulled out two diamonds. She had one color J, clarity I2, and one color H that she called clarity SI3. Now, I am no diamond expert, but my research before, and all the research I have done after this experience, I can not find any mention of an SI3 clarity rating. She claimed the diamond was clarity enhanced. When I asked what this meant, she said it was beyond her comprehension. I now know that a clarity enhanced diamond is similar to when they repair a chip in a windshield. When she was showing us these two diamonds, there was no microscope, no magnifying glass, and no chair for me to sit in. My wife was seated at the desk and the saleswoman was at the computer. I was left standing, trying to squint at the diamonds, the very things I came in to learn about. The one diamond I might have been interested in,the clarity enhanced "SI3" was priced about $500 more then what an actual SI2 diamond sells for at the big box store I was initially going to go to. I might have considered it had the whole entire experience up to this point been better. In the end we went to the big box store I heard about on the radio. What an amazing experience. They pulled three diamonds out for me right away, and I was handed a magnification lens. Wow, It is really easy to see the imperfections in an I1 clarity Diamond. Our saleswoman at the big box did not judge us. She was very knowledgeable about diamonds. And when she was not able to answer a question, another employee chimed in with the knowledge. We picked out an $1800 ring, and a nice diamond, 1.01ct, Color F, Clarity SI2, cut excellent for $6360. The experience at the big box store really saved the whole night, and we ended up having a nice $500 dinner at the hideaway steakhouse, where we also were not judged! If you go to Snyders, dress fancy.

So nice to find a locally owned jewlery store and not a big box store that is the same all across the country. Their staff (especially Johnny) is delightful, knowledgeable and well trained. Yes they do repairs and will find things for you that you may not find elsewhere.

Thank you Rosemary for a wonderful experience! We had a hand full of repairs as well as looking for an amazing wedding band to compliment my engagement ring. Snyder’s does it all! Rosemary made a perfect recommendation. We are extremely pleased with our purchase and the multiple repairs. Honestly, it is so hard not to get distracted by the quality of options here at Snyder’s. There’s no doubt we will be back for an anniversary band and much more! Thanks again Rosemary for your expertise, superb service and patience!

I took my ring (that I didn’t buy from Snyder) in to be resized. They went above and beyond and fixed things I didn’t know were wrong. Not only that, they took time to clean my mom’s wedding ring for me (it’s a possession I hold near and dear). They were extremely friendly and informative.

I went in to look at engagement rings with my (now) fiancé a little over a month ago. Noah was incredibly helpful and pleasant, and most of all patient with us! We looked closely at more than 10 separate bands and a few stones, and Noah helped us narrow them down to the set we wanted. We did not feel upsold or rushed at any point, and we found the perfect ring for us within our price range. I highly recommend these jewelers, and working with Noah in particular. We will be returning to look for our wedding bands!

My engagement ring had a recurring issue with the center stone coming loose at the slightest contact. The basket was a beautiful, delicate lotus design in rose gold that I love, but the prongs were just so dainty and soft that they couldn't hold their position. I tried explaining this to the original manufacturer of the ring, sent it back and all they did was tighten it, so the issue continued. I went to Snyder's for help explaining the problem and that I wanted to keep a similar design and rose gold aesthetic. She scoured the industry for a manufacturer with a basket matching the existing one and found the perfect replacement. The work was done and so far the new basket has held up well. Thank you so much for your patience and perseverance!

Snyder Jewelers is an amazing place to get your jewelry. I bought my wife’s engagement ring and wedding band from Snyder’s and they went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were satisfied with everything. We worked with the owner Linda and she was the sweetest most kind person we’ve ever dealt with in the retail world. I highly highly recommend this jeweler. They go above and beyond and I’m so grateful for that we got to work so closely with Linda! We will always be Snyder Jewelers customers!

Went in today to get some links removed from a watch I received as a gift. I was promptly greeted by a team member who was helping another customer and then another employee took care of me quickly and kindly. Great friendly service with smiles. 10/10

Awesome, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Bought an engagement ring and they were a ton of help every step of the way. Including a free resizing!

This place is amazing. Beautiful store, lots of options, and the friendliest staff. Family owned store I believe 3 generations, and extremely pleasant experience. Johnny was super helpful, way better than a chain company. Give them a chance for your business first, you won't be disappointed!

Thank you Snyder Jewelers for fixing & polishing the engagement ring the belonged to my (now) fiancès grandmother. It made it all the way to Japan looking wonderful and made for a perfect proposal!

Just came in for a ring measurement for a gift(I had no idea what it was) on a tuesday. They were nice, prompt, and helped me find my size for both thick and thin bands. Thank you all!

I am new to Longmont and needed a go to jeweler! I am more than happy to have found a family owned business that I love. It was a great experience from the moment I walked in, everybody is very friendly and helpful and all I needed was a link taken out of my watch and and a new battery in my other watch! Aside from being very affordable I appreciate the excellent customer service. I will definitely be back!

They fixed a clasp on a very sentimental necklace. They did an amazing job and it came back to me shiny and clean. The cherry on top are their friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!!

I had the most amazing experience with repairing my engagement/wedding ring. I had bent the band to an oval after a self home improvement project. Every staff member was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I waited at the store and shortly my ring was back to normal! They had also checked my prongs and cleaned it for me as well. Made me a forever loyal customer and I will refer every family member, friend and co coworker to them!

My husband and I purchased our rings here. They have an amazing selection that is unique and beautiful. I was going for a ring with leaves, and they had lots of great options. Johnny is friendly and hilarious! He also had a great depth of knowledge relating to jewelry. We really enjoyed working with him!

This is THE MOST AMAZING jewelry store. Friendly staff that works with you, choices for every budget, wonderful repair work - I just can't say enough.

This place is incredible! Johnny is the absolute best. This place is a very special jewelry store, the experience is second to none. Not a big box retail store, but an exceptional, personal, and remembered experience. Third generation, locally owned and personal jewelry experts. Give them the opportunity to earn your business. You won't be disappointed.

I was helped by Sally to get an estimate on a repair for a bracelet and charm. Sally was extremely helpful - she answered my questions patiently and gave me honest estimates and advice. I had a great time!

Snyder Jewelers has been my go to Jewelry store for the last 40 years. Their craftmanship and customer service has always been exceptional! My most recent visit was to have the diamonds from my mother's wedding ring redesigned into a new ring for my sister who was recently diagnosed with lung and brain cancer. My family wanted to have a ring made for her so she would have a special Christmas this year. Johnny Harris went above and beyond to help us design a new ring within our budget and made sure that the ring was completed so my sister would have her ring even before Christmas. The ring was shipped via FEDEX overnight and arrived at my sister's home in Oregon this morning! The ring was boxed beautifully and my sister loved her new ring, that will now be a family heirloom that will be passed down to her daughter and granddaughter in the years to come. Thank you Johnny and Snyder Jewelers for creating this precious gift for my sister!
