    It feels rare to find a place that has truly great customer service anymore these days. I went in here to get links taken out of my watch, which I didn’t buy from there. They happily did it for me at no charge (Nordstrom wouldn’t even remove them since I didn’t buy the watch there, and they referred me to Gold Creations which would have charged me at least $15–plus gas money), they also cleaned my wedding ring and gave Ring Pops to my kids while they waited. The staff was so kind. Feels good to review a place like this. I’ll definitely bring my jewelry needs here in the future.

    That is the best shop for all things jewelry. They are completely honest and want you to leave happy. They know how to do business have a great selection and zero pressure. It’s my first and last stop every time I have jewelry needs, whether to purchase or to fix. Parker is a pro’s pro.

    I was in the market for an engagement ring. That is a rather daunting task. Had been to several stores as well as online. I came across this store via more research. I decided to stop in and my experience was nothing short of spectacular!! Parker assisted me and was nothing but the following: genuinely nice, extremely knowledgeable & patient. There was no pressure either. I ended up making my purchase with them. The quality is exquisite and the price was very reasonable. He taught me a lot about diamonds. I picked up my engagement ring and wedding bands just the other day. I could not have been more pleased with the experience as a whole. I would not hesitate to recommend this fine jewelry store to everyone. Thank you so much to Parker, Heather and the rest of the staff for the stellar experience. If I could give them more stars I would!!!!!! You fine people are beyond reproach!!

    Perfect service. Experience and expertise beyond expectations. A custom wedding ring guard was created for my wife in record time. Professional and flawless. Thank you RC Wahl. We are customers for life. It is rare to find such personalized expert service in today's world. If you're looking for that unique and special piece, don't hesitate - don't wait. R.C. Wahl is the place, you'll be glad you did. And so will your someone special.

    I was really happy with my experience here! The customer service was incredible. Alexis was more than helpful. She sent me pictures prior to coming in, kept me updated about my order status through text and followed up with me to see how my gift was received. It is rare to have that kind of assistance especially since my purchase was small. I highly recommend them!

  • 5/5 Deanna P. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful jewelry, reasonable prices and always outstanding customer service. It’s even better that you can support a local family-owned business. My husband had my original engagement ring & wedding band redone for our 25th wedding anniversary and the ring turned out absolutely stunning. Alexis, Parker & Heather are so wonderful to work with. I highly recommend checking them out!

  • 5/5 Jackie L. 2 years ago on Google
    They have beautiful jewelry and will even customize for you. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. 5 generations, Family owned business. I was there on a very busy Saturday afternoon to assess some older jewelry and also broken jewelry while and also looking for new ideas. I was given full attention and knowledge and never once felt rushed. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Top notch customer service and top quality. Prices are also reasonable, better than chain jewelry stores. they made my old jewelry look better than new! I will definitely be shopping there in the future. So glad I found this place.

    First time shopping at R.C. Wahl and I'll be happy to give them my business again! Been wanting to write this review for awhile, but until this weekend hadn't gotten to see my purchases being used. Today's the day though. 4 months ago I dropped in to look at earrings for my girlfriend. Being my first time buying real diamonds, I went in with some ideas of what I wanted but with an open mind. Bridget was amazing at assisting me and walking me through their offerings. She was willing to demo items on her own ears, and was quite patient in spite of my indecision. I didn't go in with the intent of purchasing something, but I left as a happy customer, with a set of diamond studs held by white gold, as well as sapphire + diamond hoops, also in white gold. The prices seemed fair, especially given what a great experience I had. They also were flexible with me regarding returns/exchanges in case my girlfriend didn't love what I chose, even 2 months after the fact since these were anniversary gifts. Thankfully she loved both pairs, with the studs being her daily earrings and the hoops being for more special occasions (yesterday was her first time wearing both out). While there I also was hoping to look at watches (a large part of the reason I went in in the first place). R.C. Wahl used to be a Rolex dealer, but have since cut ties with them after being unwilling to sink to Rolex's new authorized dealer scheme of filling a store with 'hollow' watches for test fitting, and subsequent allocation of the real thing being far from a guarantee. While I do admire their rejection of this, their selection of mens watches is now limited to Seiko models. While nice, I hope they will work to expand this to include other boutique brands, such as Grand Seiko, Jaeger-LeCoultre, or something from the SWATCH family of brands. This was the PERFECT first fine jewelry shopping experience. I look forward to providing R.C. Wahl with more business in the future, and would absolutely recommend others to give them a look as well!

    I have used Wahl jewelry for years. Any time there was a question they always corrected and made sure we were pleased. Since becoming disabled it has not effected their service. Their support staff embraces that quality of service right down if needed assisting me “ curbside). Many thanks, Fred Haney

  • 5/5 Jen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Always super friendly! For being a smaller family owned business, they're prices are just as competitive as the big box stores. Every time I've gone into their store whether it be to purchase something specific or look around, they've always offered to clean my rings and were never pushing you to buy something. 5 gold stars all the way! RC is definitely my go to store when it comes to purchasing anything jewelry wise. I'd also recommend parking behind the store where they have designated parking spots instead of waiting for and/or fighting for a spot up front.

  • 5/5 Dana L. 1 year ago on Google
    I could not be more satisfied with the repair on my wedding ring. They told me it would look brand new and it really did - just like it did 27 years ago, maybe better. I would highly recommend the store to anyone. I’m very happy and everyone was pleasant and friendly in the store.

  • 5/5 Nicholas G. 3 years ago on Google
    The staff and Jesse were a pleasure to work with. I was not there to purchase a Rolex but was treated no differently. Absolutely will be back soon for holiday shopping!

  • 5/5 sasa c. 3 years ago on Google
    I have pleasant experience with this store and Parker delivered exceptional service.

  • 5/5 Pranav P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great Store & Amazing Service! Parker was very professional & explain everything in detail. Looking forward to buying much more from him. Thank You

  • 5/5 james f. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful experience. Professionalism all the way around. Would spend my money here easily.

  • 5/5 Sofia S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great experience, everyone was so nice and welcoming. My ring repair was done in 24 hours. Just amazed by their service!!!

  • 5/5 David M. 3 years ago on Google
    The Wahl Family and the Associates at their store are friendly, courteous, competent, and eager to please. Always a pleasure.

  • 5/5 Kathy 2 years ago on Google
    The gentleman who helped me was very gracious and he made a lot of good suggestions. I was there to buy a gold chain but he noticed that a prong from my wedding ring was missing. He probably saved me from losing the diamond. He was most helpful. In the last 15 years we’ve bought quite a few pieces of jewelry from Wahl and every time it has been a good experience. They really care about their customers.

  • 5/5 Wendy M. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent customer service!

  • 5/5 Ken F. 1 year ago on Google
    Jessie was very helpful in every step of the way. He worked with me finding the right diamond and setting for the engagement ring and now the wedding band. I’m glad I noticed R.C and decided to stop in one day, they even took care of a pair of diamond earrings I walked in with without an appointment… they cleaned them and replaced the backings on the spot. I’ll use them for all my future needs. Very polite atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Tammy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Small but mighty!! Always a pleasurable experience to walk into Wahl Jewelers. There is something about a family owned business that warms my heart. Beautiful, one of a kind pieces, watch repair and the friendliest/ knowledgeable staff to help you with all your questions or needs. My father has bought pieces of jewelry for his family from Wahl jewelers for decades. Now whenever I walk in I can't help but smile knowing my Dad was here.

  • 5/5 Kamila G. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love working with R.C. Whal Jewelers. They go above and beyond for their clients. Their selections are AMAZING! I just had my grandmother’s ring fixed. My grandma passed away and I am getting marry in couple weeks. Can’t wait to wear the ring on BIG DAY! Thank you RC team for making my dreams come true! 🤍

  • 5/5 Maichil E. 10 months ago on Google
    I dropped off 5 rings to be serviced (cleaned, polished, some replated). I spoke to Parker who was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. All 5 rings were done in one day, and my wife loved how hers looked! We had taken them to another place for the same service awhile back, but their cleaning left the prongs to be dark and not cleaned completely. R.C Wahl Jewelers did an amazing job and made the rings look brand new as if we first got them. Will definitely be coming back here for more services.

  • 5/5 Thomas W. 1 year ago on Google
    Jesse was super helpful and easy to work with! Everyone at RC is always so friendly and knowledgeable each and every time we’ve visited. My wife is very happy with her most recent purchase!

  • 5/5 cheifmom1 10 months ago on Google
    Had my wedding ring resized and they did a beautiful job! Looks brand new. They are so nice and personable. They even offered to clean my other jewelry but unfortunately I was rushed to get to karate! Thanks again Wahl jewelers!

  • 5/5 Ann C. 10 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend! Wonderful people who do great work for very reasonable prices. Parker is lovely to work with, and everyone who works there makes sure you leave happy. A great place to have jewelry washed, fixed, altered, or buy new pieces!

  • 5/5 Danielle M. 1 year ago on Google
    If we could give 10 stars, we would. Every step along the process of creating our dream wedding band was flawless. The staff is attentive and excited to make the piece of your dreams (and they managed to execute so quickly)! We had had 2 terrible experiences prior and had started to lose faith in what should be such a special time. Robbin and Heather kept us updated every step along the way. They made us truly feel special and I cried happy tears when the reveal finally came. They created something beautiful and delicate that I can wear even under my work surgical gloves. We even added on a new band when the band from our original jeweler lost its luster. My husband and I look forward to returning for all future jewelry needs. This family owned store shines bright when it comes to top notch customer service and personal touches.

  • 5/5 Katherine W. 11 months ago on Google
    I have been a customer of R.C. Wahl Jewelers for many years. I am always greeted cheerfully at the door and made to feel like part of the family. I generally take in items of jewelry that need to be repaired but they always treat me as if I was buying the most expensive item in the store. They refurbished a 100-year-old diamond ring that was a 25 year anniversay present from my grandfather to my grandmother and of great sentimental value to me. The results were amazing! I highly recommend R.C. Wahl for all of your jewelry needs large and small.

  • 5/5 Cathy B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a wonderful jeweler. They have beautiful jewelry and the prices are reasonable. The staff is helpful and very friendly. There is never any pressure to buy. They've been a fixture in this area for a long time and I think that speaks volumes about how they conduct business.

  • 5/5 Jonah K. 7 months ago on Google
    Parker, Heather, and the rest of the team are some of the greatest people you'll ever interact with. We love it here and will continue to come for many years for any and all jewelry needs! It's always a pleasure walking in here to have all your needs met with careful consideration and appreciation.

  • 5/5 Susan La F. 9 months ago on Google
    R. C. Wahl Jewelers is an excellent jewelers. My husband and I have been going to them for many years. Beautiful jewelry. I have many beautiful pieces from them. And they are great for repairs too. You will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Adrienne V. 9 months ago on Google
    I accompanied a friend to the jewelry store. While she was talking with another associate, I began to look around and discovered a section that was 50% off! An associate helped me without being pushy or aggressive, and helped me decide on a beautiful ring that I now wear every day. I’m so pleased with my experience at Wahl’s, that I plan to return so that I can bring in my inherited stones and create a new piece of jewelry for myself. I live in Wisconsin and I think it’s worth the drive for quality service at a store that knows what it’s doing when it comes to fine jewelry.

  • 5/5 Mike K. 1 year ago on Google
    The Wahl team is great! I wanted a custom cross to display a natural uncut diamond. They turned my sketches into reality and they didn’t stop working until it was perfect. I definitely recommend them for your custom project!

  • 5/5 Jane I. 3 years ago on Google
    Heather, you have successfully transcended the generations of care & service before you. We have been a member of the Wakl family for 45 years & you have never disappointed! Walk into your store is like coming home!

  • 5/5 Kim F. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Quang N. 3 years ago on Google
    I was referred to Parker Wentzel by a friend and he did not disappoint. He was very honest and transparent— read realistic — about my inquiries into a specific watch. Due to covid and the Rolex I wanted was already allocated and in high demand. I did have a back up model that Parker was able to get for me. Communication through the entire process was forthcoming. He let me know there was going to be a wait of up until February, but would try to get to me by Christmas. Parker came through with my order in less than three months— this just happened to work in my favor. Other ADs wouldn’t even accept my order, paid in full. My watch was set to the correct time and shipped off to me. Parker also left with with several valuable tips on care and maintenance of my new investment. I highly recommend Parker and RC Wahl Jewelers.

  • 5/5 Susan 3 years ago on Google
    Heather did a fantastic job of bringing my personal vision to life! She was very patient as we exchanged ideas and design renditions. In the end, I was very satisfied with my purchase, and I wear it proudly every day. I appreciated the time Heather spent with me, as well as her creative talent and professionalism. I highly recommend Heather and R.C. Wahl Jewelers!

  • 5/5 Robert S. 3 years ago on Google
    We've always come to RC Wahl for all of our jewelry. They're the perfect mix of having a lot of high-end items but not so much that you can't find good gifts at reasonable prices. Great, friendly people.

  • 5/5 Nicole N. 3 years ago on Google
    My fiancé and I were lucky enough to discover R.C. Wahl Jewelers when shopping for engagement rings and we couldn't have been more happy with our experience. Whenever you walk in the door, all employees make you feel welcomed and at ease. Parker walked us through the process and was very informative every step of the way. He treated us like longtime customers and friends and helped me find the ring of my dreams! Not only did we end up purchasing my engagement ring, but we have been back several times and purchased our wedding bands from the store as well. Just the other day, we found out that our extended family also shops at this R.C. Wahl and holds them in such high regard! We cannot say enough about how our experience at R.C. Wahl Jewelers was and we will continue to shop with them for all of our future jewelry and repair needs. HIGHLY recommend!
