    10 stars ! Professional old school jeweller with great price in Durham , great service and ready in just 3 days. I went to the mall to resize this ring and due to it having a difficult process due to the gems nobody could do without sending it away somewhere else and charging extra. I called the shop and spoke to Rafael directly who advised I bring it in . Super well done , great price , true craftsman , no sign of it being resized wife loved it !

    I don't know what to say? The owner custom made our rings and he created a custom ingot for our wedding bands. I am allergic to nickel so he mixed metals together to have only a bit of nickel so I won't have an allergic reaction. So far it has bested hiking and canoeing and they are very much worth it! We had to re-engrave our rings to change the date and it only cost $70(due to covid). He is very pleasant and it is supporting a small business!

    I had the most pleasant experience at Rafael! With short notice, and not much time left, he was able to clean, resize, and repair my grandmother's antique wedding ring, before I left town. The pricing was EXTREMELY reasonable, and I felt very taken care of. I so appreciate the help, and high quality work! I will certainly be back, and will be recommending your shop to friends and family. Thank you again!!

    I do not know how I can begin to show Rafael how grateful my husband and I are for him. Rafael worked with my husband to curate me a one-of-a-kind engagement and wedding ring, which surpassed anything I could have hoped and dreamed for. Even when I thought he outdid himself with my engagement ring, my wedding band blew me away. He uses only the best diamonds and his workmanship is like none other. Every single precious metal I own is and always will be a Rafael original! Thank you once again Rafael for everything!

    I’ve been going here for over 10 years good repairs and great advice. I went in to have something made bigger and he went to his work station and made the piece bigger on the spit , with no charge?! This man is exceptionally helpful and kind!

    Amazing customer service! Needed a chain repaired, wedding band resized, engagement ring resized and repaired. Rafael jewelry completed the necessary work in less than a week. My rings look brand new after almost 25 years of wear. So happy with their work!

    I am so pleased with this Jewelry store. I gave Rafael a loose diamond and a vision for my engagement ring and he turned that around and gave me the most prettiest ring I can ever dream of. Beyond my expectations, as a jewelry expert he gave me his critical opinion on the thickness of the band and made sure it wasn’t too thin so I can have a long lasting quality ring while still keeping my simple elegant design. Both the time and price was very fair. Will definitely be going here again!!!!!

    Rafael did an amazing job making the perfect diamond ring for my mother’s 60th birthday! He was very knowledgeable and immediately used his professional judgment to help us pick out the perfect ring! We had a great time working with Rafael to make our mother’s dream ring! Thank you so much to Rafael jewellery for the impeccable service!

    Placed and order for a custom made Khartoush Pendant (Egyptian Hieroglyphics) at Rafael jewellery with Rafael himself. Rafael went above and beyond my wildest imagination, this pendant is fantastic and fascinating. Rafael explained what the symbols mean and how they would even relate to the personality of the person it was intended for. Spot On Rafael. Thank you so very much for such great workmanship and I would certainly recommend Rafael jewellery for any custom made or other requirements. Thank you Rafael

    Took a 50 year old gold bracelet from my mom and wanted it along with a tie pin from my dad to gift to my daughter and son in law to be. The work provided was beyond my expectations and I am so looking forward to presenting this as their wedding gift. I am a repeat customer at this store and will highly recommend to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and customer service. Thanks again Raf and blessings as always. See you soon again. Nadia

    My wedding ring needed enlarging to fit properly. I went to Rafael Jewellery because of positive previous experiences. The ring needed significant enlargement. The ring had fine detail around the edges which complicates traditional methods for resizing. Rafael figured out how to enlarge the ring and preserve the details. I could not be happier with the results. The cost was quite fair for the very fine workmanship. The owner is a very pleasant person. I would not hesitate to recommend Rafael.

    My experience at Rafael Jewerlly was excellent. Was greeted immediately with a warm smile, knowledge and our small talk was sincere. Quick turn over for repair. They communicated well. When I went to pick up my ring once again greeting was professional, warm welcome and quick. I highly recommend taking your business to Rafael's.

    I had a great experience at Rafael Jewellery. Rafael helped me convert an inherited ring into a perfect engagement ring and wedding band for my fiancé. He is very confident in his work and I had no doubt I was dealing with an experienced professional. The amount of time it took surpassed my expectations and I felt the pricing was very fair for the A+ result.

    My dad passed away last month and I brought in 2 rings of his- one to be fixed and re-sized and 1 to be cleaned. Rafael not only did an amazing job, but when we told him we wanted to wear one of them to a family function this weekend, he was able to get both done for us, even a day earlier than he had originally thought. Very professional, very personable and very affordable. I was referred to him by a friend and I will certainly be referring him to others.

    I had an amazing experience. The staff are so kind and very professional. I needed my bracelet clasp fixed and was not going to be in town for pick up and they fixed it that day!! I highly would recommend them for your jewelry repair needs and for purchasing beautiful jewelry.

    I would like to start by saying I visited many different jewelers over an extended amount of time to find the perfect one. I wanted the right individual to create a beautiful custom ring that I felt would suit my future wife's particular taste and after speaking with Rafael for the first time I knew I had found that person. He is not only extremely knowledgeable about his craft but he was also patient and gave me the time needed to discuss the fine details in making the perfect ring. He made the whole process a very smooth one and the ring turned out AMAZING! I could not be happier with my decision and will be going to Rafael for all my future jewelry needs.

    Rafael Jewellery excels not only in repair services but also in sales. Their commitment to customer satisfaction, evident in my repair experience, extends outwards. With a combination of professionalism, honesty, and reliability, they provide a comprehensive and trustworthy approach to both services. Highly recommended for all your jewelry needs. Sam & Jane

    I was treated with respect, gentleness and efficiency. The work that Rafael did for me was exquisite. He is a true artisan. Also his prices are very reasonable. I recommend Rafael Jeweler's as a top notch place to shop for custom and in stock items.

    Rafael Jewelry went above and beyond to create the perfect ring for my proposal. I am ecstatic with the results and would highly recommend this jeweler to anyone looking for the amazing results at a great price! Thank you again for your work brother!

    I came to Rafael with a Diamond I planned to buy and a general concept of the setting I wanted, and he went above and beyond by getting me a better Diamond for the same price and helping me make improvements to the design. We’re so happy with what we ended up with, I couldn’t wish for a more beautiful engagement ring

  • 5/5 Mark T. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    I came here to have a rosary repaired. The crucifix had broken off. The owner explained that the crucifix couldn't be repaired due to the fact that it was aluminum covered with black enamel (welding was not viable). Instead he gave me a crucifix handcrafted in Italy for 90% off what it is actually worth (I checked). Bear in mind *he does not sell crucifixes*. He did that for me because he could tell how much my rosary meant to me. He earned a lifetime customer. Very happy!

  • 5/5 Dean T. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience! Gave me great advice and created the engagement ring that I had envisioned at a very fair price. Also provided excellent customer service after purchase. Would highly recommend to anyone

  • 5/5 Greg J. 2 years ago on Google
    Rafael did an amazing job making the perfect engagement ring for my fiancee! He perfectly executed the vision she had for the ring. We also had a custom pendant made, and it turned out as incredible as he said it would. On top of the fantastic work, the customer service experience is second to none. Trust the 5 star reviews...

  • 5/5 Fiona K. 2 years ago on Google
    I had my 25th anniversary ring re-designed by Rafael. His vision was spot on! I left it in his hands and the result is truly lovely. I am so happy! The ring was purchased 9 years ago in St. Martin and I loved it but the setting just wasn't as secure as I would have liked. I asked Rafael if he could re-design it and he said he could. I knew he'd do a great job but I was thrilled when I actually saw it. His kindness and skill is top notch. Rafael Jewellery is the best!!

  • 5/5 Molly C. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent service. I had some jewellery repaired and the service was fast and efficient. I had an erring that broke and have had multiple jewellers who said it couldnt be repaired. Guess what? Rafael repaired it. This will be my jeweller from now.

  • 5/5 J R. 2 years ago on Google
    I brought my platinum engagement ring in to be resized, and I could not have asked for a better experience! While I was told from another jeweller the resizing would take up to three weeks because the materials were complicated to work with, Rafael Jewellery was able to get the job done within two days. They did incredible work at an affordable price, and were friendly and responsive. 10/10 would recommend. I cannot say enough positive things about Rafael Jewellery.

  • 5/5 Marsha N. 5 months ago on Google
    I brought my engagement in for a re-size and much needed rhodium plating. I truly believe my engagement ring looks shinier and more beautiful than the day my husband proposed. Friendly staff, amazingly quick turnaround and great price.

  • 5/5 Jan S. 5 months ago on Google
    Raphael Jeweller is a great place to go. I take alot of repairs there. It is very speedy and repairs are excellent!! Raphael is a real gentleman and friendly and professional. He has a lot of knowledge with jewelry. He doesn’t try to push things on you either, being thrifty to him is important.

  • 5/5 Darlene B. 2 years ago on Google
    Rafael Jewellery exceeded my expectations in every way!The ambience, expertise and authenticity experienced was unsurpassed. The staff are welcoming, friendly and sincere. I entrusted Rafael to redesign my solitaire engagement ring to showcase the diamond. What he produced was a work of art….Picasso would be proud! There was no pressure to purchase and I left this experience feeling like family versus a customer. Rafael Jewellery has earned my trust and loyalty for life. Look no further for any of your jewellery needs….you will not be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Bea T. 2 years ago on Google
    My experience here was incredible! I was able to get the prongs on my engagement ring adjusted to properly fit the stone within 2 hours. When I got it back, I asked if it was possible to make the prongs smaller (not at the fault of Rafael Jewellers). Without hesitation, he was able to get it done and ready the next day. The adjustments that were made was everything I imagined. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Rafael’s!! Reasonably priced, amazing quality and wonderful service.

  • 5/5 Dylan C. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to Rafael to trade in some gold and have a custom name bracelet made for my lady. Super respectful and honest guy! Gave me great trade value for my gold and finished the bracelet within 3 days to meet my deadline. Will be coming here from now on.

  • 5/5 maureen r. 10 months ago on Google
    The customer service at Raphael Jewellery is amazing. I feel that Raphael takes an interest in his customers and with this interest comes great workmanship. Thank you again for resizing my wedding ring to give me a perfect fit

  • 5/5 Rick F. 10 months ago on Google
    This review is long overdue but Rafael has been my jeweller since I moved to Ajax in 2020. He designed and crafted an engagement ring for my fiancé which she absolutely loved. He’s also Fixed and altered my gold chain to shorter length and made a bracelet with the excess. He is always fair, polite and easy to deal with. 10/10 service and quality would recommend him to my family and friends.

  • 5/5 Sherry T. 10 months ago on Google
    I got my wedding band resized. I have been deliberating on getting it done for a while cause I wasn’t sure how much it would cost for resizing. I walked into Rafael Jewellery. The owner himself assisted me and measured my ring finger. He was very helpful and kind. He made sure I had the right size. Was told it would take 10 days. He got it done in less than a week! I was amazed with the service and fee for my ring! Highly recommend them!

  • 5/5 Lurking R. 10 months ago on Google
    Rafael is a man of integrity and exceptional craftsmanship. I brought to him a ring with sentimental value that was in desperate need of repair. The care and quality that went into my ring was beyond my hopes and expectations. Thank you Rafael for all your hard work and care. I have and will only use Rafael for all of my jewellery needs and wants :)

  • 5/5 JANET D. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely the best! We had a ring made for my mom’s 80 birthday and if far exceeded our expectations. Absolutely perfect

  • 5/5 Mak M. 2 years ago on Google
    I had broken my recently deceased father's pendant and Rafael made me feel so comfortable. Excellent price, amazing turn around time and clean and shined the chain and pendant to perfection. I will only go to Rafael now. Amazing service.

  • 1/5 Madison A. 2 years ago on Google
    I was looking for a pendant and heard this place was really good. I made a 45 minute drive to this jewelry store and found a pendant but it wasn’t the type of metal, however he said he could dip it. I decided not to buy it at the time and a couple days later I called instead of making the drive to ensure the gift was exactly what I was looking for. I asked if they could send a picture (my sister used to be in the jewelry business and said they send pictures all the time for customer service, continuing clientele, and the sale). He told me he was too busy which I respected so I asked if I could call back at a later time and he said no, he didn’t want to send a picture. He didn’t give me any rationale and quite frankly rushed me off the phone as if this sale didnt mean much. Very frustrating and upsetting. I won’t be going there for anything in the future and will not recommend.

    Rafael was a pleasure to deal with. Completed custom engagement ring in the time that I needed. Would recommend this to everyone!

  • 5/5 Trevor J. 1 year ago on Google
    I can honestly say that I had the most wonderful experience dealing with this company. Rafi is amazing and extremely knowledgeable about jewelry. He was very professional and their prices were competitive and fair. Would definitely recommend this store for all your jewelry needs. Will not hesitate to use them again.

  • 5/5 Kesh 1 year ago on Google
    Great work! I saw a silver necklace I wanted in Gold, he did a good job, I am obsessed with it. There is a lot of selection, services and it's reasonable pricing. I just gave him a ring to be repaired :) Thank you!

  • 5/5 Kim C. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I highly recommend Rafael Jewellery! I recently brought my rings in to be re-dipped in white gold. At that time Rafael examined my rings and noticed that some of the claws were weak and needed to be reinforced. He had all repairs done very quickly. My rings look absolutely beautiful and now I don’t have to worry about losing a diamond. Thank you Rafael!

  • 5/5 JDS Creations I. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I have bought the nicest engagement ring for the most beautiful woman I ever met at Rafael’s Jewellery. With his help and the entire team, I’m excited for the exactly date. Overall, it was worth the money. Very professional and knowledgeable on what he sells. Most definitely I will recommend all my single families and friends to consider Rafael’s Jewellery in the near future. Thanks, Jorge
