    Sarah is so amazing to work with! I tell everyone about her. She has such unique creative ideas and really listens to what you want. She is always on top of communication and she's just a good person to get to know all around :). You'll find yourself wanting to come up with other projects to work on. I brought her a shark tooth I had found in Myrtle Beach after decades of searching, and she was able to use diamonds from my old wedding ring to transform it into a beautiful pendant necklace :). She is a perfectionist and a top notch artist, you won't be disappointed.

    Leake repaired and resized my engagement ring bought from another jeweler. They added extra support and redid the prongs to make them stronger so it will hopefully not happen again. My fiancé said the owner is very nice and explained everything that would be done. We are both so happy with the quality of work! Will definitely be back if we need anything else!

    Sarah saved the day after my fiancé and I had a terrible experience with a large, online jeweler. We were able to get an appointment with her day of and within the day she had sourced numerous stones that I liked. Within a week I was able to design my perfect ring AND save money. The ring was ready in two weeks and I couldn't be happier with the final result. I would refer Sarah to anyone who is looking for custom jewelry or is engagement ring shopping. She was a pleasure to work with and will definitely have my business in the future.

    I was not previously aware of the concept of a "private jeweler", but I am so glad I found Sarah! Her knowledge and expertise are immediately obvious. The whole process, from start to finish was a pleasure and the end result was outstanding. I felt included and informed every step of the way. I cannot recommend Sarah and The Leake Company more highly!

    Sarah went above and beyond on the creation of my fiancé's wedding band. It turned out even more beautiful than we anticipated. She was so wonderful to work with and I highly recommend choosing The Leake Co for your jewelry needs.

    Truly an amazing experience. Sarah strengthened the channels and prongs on my platinum antique engagement ring and cleaned up a custom wedding band I had made years ago to looks 10x more crisp and so much more beautiful. She explained my options for having future bands made and the technology they use is far beyond any other jeweler I’ve been to. The communication was quick and thorough and her online portal made me feel very safe because it had images of each piece, the work to be done to each, and showed which pieces of mine she had custody of. It also made it super easy to pay. We have found a lifetime family jeweler in The Leake Co.

    Working with Sarah was such a dream! I had a rough idea of what I wanted, but her expertise and creativity truly brought my design to life, and under budget. I was a little intimidated to reach out to a private jeweler, but Sarah is so warm and welcoming that all my anxiety disappeared at the door. Already scheming of how we can work together again in the future!

    My fiancé and I had met with multiple jewelers prior to meeting with Sarah trying to find the right ring. Our previous experiences with large corporate jeweler chains left us feeling dismissed and pressured to purchase. Our experience with Sarah was completely different. She made us both feel so special and heard, and she was so knowledgeable. She offered a variety of options and was so patient and kind as we were figuring out what we wanted. Even after moving across the country, coordinating the purchase and shipment of the ring was seamless and she communicated so well. Even though we live on the west coast states away, we will be going through Sarah for all of our special jewelry needs 😊.

    Sarah was amazing to work with on our wedding bands this summer. She listened to our vision and executed on everything exactly how we wanted it. She was an amazing communicator throughout the entire process so we always knew what to expect next. We live out of town but will definitely be reaching out to Sarah and making trips to Louisville for all of our jewelry needs in the future!

  • 5/5 Jana R. 11 months ago on Google
    Not only did Sarah bring me multiple designs to bring my idea to life, she exceeded my expectations and stayed under budget. My daughter loved her heirloom pieces for her 25th birthday. I was so pleased with how easy it was to work with Sarah and to go through this process. I've never done anything like this before. But I will be again!!

  • 5/5 Hunter W. 10 months ago on Google
    My experience designing a custom engagement ring for my fiancée was fun and easy from start to finish. Sarah was excited to make the vision into a reality and genuinely wanted to make sure every detail was perfect. The design process was approachable, largely thanks to Sarah’s knowledge and experience. Pricing was transparent, and even with the ring being a fully custom design, the final cost came in well under budget. Most importantly, the ring itself is beautiful. I was thrilled with the final product, and so was my fiancée. I recommend The Leake Co to anyone looking for an heirloom jewelry piece. The customer experience is unmatched, and purchases support a Louisville-owned small business.

    I had the most wonderful experience! Sarah is such a joy and made the process so easy! She took a very special family ring and treated it with so much care transforming it into multiple pieces of jewelry that will be worn and loved forever. I will be recommending The Leake Co. to everyone!!

  • 5/5 Aaron C. 11 months ago on Google
    We had an amazing experience from start to finish! Sarah at The Leake Co. was welcoming, helpful, flexible, and attentive to our budget. Unlike the experience at other jewelers, I felt like we were being taken care of an not being sold to. My fiancé to be got exactly what she was looking for after taking time to look at several options and designs. I also thought we might end up paying more for such a personal touch, but I think we couldn't have found a better deal for what we got.

  • 5/5 Clark&Rachel 11 months ago on Google
    The experience we had at Leake Co. was better than either of us could have ever imagined. We originally knew we wanted a custom heirloom ring with the use of my grandmothers diamond ring. The initial consult was amazing as Sarah was able to show off many options with the jewelry in studio. The storyboard she then created made it easy to communicate ideas and she was always prompt with responses. The final design looked better than either of us could have imagined and the real ring mesmerizes my fiancée and I everyday with its beauty. Sarah showed genuine excitement and joy while working with us to create the ring, this led us to stay with her to create a custom band for myself. She helped us incorporate gold from my grandmother's ring into my ring, as well as shared elements with the engagement ring, and made a stunning ring that we will cherish forever. Sarah was very knowledgeable, professional, and wonderful to work with. She was able to take our unclear ideas and hone them into amazingly beautiful designs and rings while still allowing us to provide feedback along the way. She was a delight to work with and we would recommend her to anyone interested in custom jewelry.

  • 5/5 Lauren B. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend working with Sarah for all of your jewelry needs. She makes an otherwise overwhelming process seem so easy and fun! The welcoming environment, professional advice and outstanding (and sparkly) end result is what makes Leake Co. the best!

  • 5/5 Ashley R. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved my experience at The Leake Co. I brought in my grandmother’s ring wanting a new band that matched my style and would compliment the setting I loved so much. The process was so fun and Sarah was honest, while still open to what I wanted. I have a hard time visualizing ideas, but Sarah’s system takes away all the guess work as you get a custom image of your final idea generated online prior to commitment. This helped me tremendously in the end as what I thought I wanted, was nothing what I actually wanted. You can tell she truly cares about her clients. I left with a piece that compliments my style, is completely one of a kind unique, and that reflects the memory of my grandmother. I am forever grateful to her.

  • 5/5 Brian F. 1 year ago on Google
    UNBELIEVABLE! We drove down from Cincinnati to have our wedding ring enhanced and to say the finished product far exceeded our expectations would be a complete understatement. The ring is so BEAUTIFUL. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, quality and the customer service will be the reason, we will come back to The Leake Company for years to come. Sarah and her team were amazing - so kind and so creative. They were phenomenal. The best jewelry experience - EVER!

  • 5/5 Kelsey C. 2 years ago on Google
    Oh my goodness! I can’t say enough amazing things about Sarah! She is the epitome of class, knowledge, and is the custom designing queen. She listened to my needs every step of the way and created magic within the pieces she designed for me!! You would be crazy not to choose her to take care of all your jewelry needs.

  • 5/5 Stephen M. 2 years ago on Google
    Years ago, the owner of Leake Co helped me find and purchase the perfect ring for my now-wife. She was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, personable, and straightforward. Unlike other jewelers, she takes the time to explain the ins and outs, pros and cons, etc of gemstones, settings, ring materials, and so on. She really wanted to help me find the perfect ring, *for us*, instead of steering me toward more expensive, but less ideal options (like other jewelers sometimes have a reputation for doing). The trustworthiness is important to me; just like it's important to find an honest mechanic shop you can trust, it's important to have a jeweler you trust. Leake Co was honest with me, and I fully trust them. Highly recommend. Would use them again.

  • 5/5 Erin T. 2 years ago on Google
    I was looking for a local jeweler to make a cremation ring for my late fiance but still get a reasonable price. Sarah made the process painless and kept me appraised of every step taken along the way. The ring turned out exactly how I wanted and it means so much to me. I will continue to work with her in the future on other jewelry needs. I fully recommend her services for anyone looking locally for custom pieces big and small.

  • 5/5 Stacy F. 2 years ago on Google
    I worked with Sarah at Leake Co to design a little Christmas present for myself. She helped me along the entire design process, and in the end I have an amazing ring! Sarah was easy to work with… especially since I don’t wear a lot of jewelry and had only loose ideas of what I wanted. She is a professional and has a true passion for helping others find their next heirloom.

  • 5/5 Carri M. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered a pair of larimar earrings from Sarah just before Christmas. These were shipped out promptly, and were even more beautiful than the pics. I am currently working with Sarah to restyle an old ring into updated earrings. She listens well, and provides fantastic ideas. I respect her expertise and professionalism.

  • 5/5 Rebecca P. 2 years ago on Google
    Sarah helped me to design an amazing ring using a beautiful garnet stone that had been left to me by my late father. She made the process very easy and fun and I am completely thrilled with the result. Sarah also sized and did some repairs to a vintage ring for my daughter and has done insurance appraisals on jewelry for us, as well. She is the ultimate professional, has creative ideas and a wealth of knowledge about gem stones. I highly recommend The Leake Co.

  • 5/5 Emily B. 2 years ago on Google
    Sarah is a knowledgeable, supportive, and high quality jeweler that cares deeply for each of her clients. From beautiful design, high quality renderings to the creative, and innovative shopping experience, The Leake Co is one of the best jewelers out there, and is changing the landscape of jewelry for the better. She truly raises the bar for jewelers out there.

  • 5/5 Tara B. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great experience! Sarah did an amazing job repairing and sizing my ring. Can't wait until we get started on a custom piece.

  • 5/5 Nora I. 1 year ago on Google
    My now-fiance and I worked with Sarah to create my dream engagement ring, and it turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined! The entire process was easy and fun, we learned so much, and Sarah communicated with us every step of the way. I enjoyed getting to experiment with different designs during the CAD stage, and it was so cool to have a resin model of my ring to wear around the house before we finalized the design. The ring was finished quicker than we expected and came in under-budget! I would absolutely recommend the Leake Co. to anyone and will definitely come back for any future jewelry needs!

  • 5/5 Kat W. 1 year ago on Google
    We absolutely love the custom piece that Sarah designed for our daughter. Extremely friendly, has amazing eye for design. Sarah made my daughter feel very comfortable and listened to what she wished to have designed and then made it into a stunning piece of jewelry. I highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 David Tackett (Another A. 1 year ago on Google
    Sarah made the experience easy and an absolute pleasure. In the initial consultation she listened and offered informed guidance while taking into account our budget. It’s a little intimidating buying remote but with her CAD renderings and video consultation you will be sure to receive what you expect. She will be honest and go above and beyond for you to make certain you have a positive experience only improved by her knowledge and skills in the gem world. I’ll be back for our bands as well as for any custom jewelry needs in the future and I’d be confident to refer anyone to her with absolutely no reservation. She’s a rockstar. Give her your business and you’ll be pleased with the process and the end product.

  • 5/5 Jessica G. 1 year ago on Google
    Sarah and her staff are AMAZING!!!!!! She helped me design a one-of-a-kind piece using the diamonds from my wedding set after my husband upgraded my rings. I can't even describe how beautiful the piece is! I will definitely be using Leake Co. in the future.

  • 5/5 Cindy D. 1 year ago on Google
    Sarah is fabulous! If you have a special piece but not sure where to start, Sarah is your person! She is excellent with what she does and puts so much love and thought into her projects. She made this experience so much fun! She met all our expectations!

  • 5/5 Jessica S. 1 year ago on Google
    Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with! We initially met for about an hour about a few items I wanted the opinion of a professional and I left her with my engagement ring and wedding band to be resized. I received them back quickly and looking like new again! Highly recommend Sarah and The Leake Co!

  • 5/5 B S. 1 year ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Forget about any mainstream jewelry stores, I only trust Sarah from this point on! I came to her with a ring design I'd had in my head for years, and she brought my design to life while adding some concepts of her own for a truly original piece. The whole process was fun, and was done in a reasonable time frame with very reasonable pricing. Sarah made an anniversary ring dream come true :).

    Hello it has been a pleasure to work with Sarah and The Leake Co. She is honesty one of the best people I have had a chance to deal with. She really listens to what you are trying to get done and the ring I had them make is a stunner! It is just as we talk about. I will treasure it this has been a great experience for me. Thank You so much!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Sarah and The Leake Co. I first started working with her on my engagement ring design from my grandmother's heirloom stones a little over a year ago. It turned out better than I ever could've imagined and I just picked up my beautiful wedding band using more of the heirloom diamonds last week! Sarah is kind, attentive, and has an incredible eye. I can't wait to go back for my second band and more!!!
