    With what started as a weekend walk-in, Jack was able to make me and my fiancé the most beautiful custom engagement ring. Olmaz was a delight to work with and made the process, quick, easy, and extremely rewarding! They did everything from appraising an heirloom piece of jewelry, utilizing it as credit, and custom designing a new piece in the span of about a month. Jack was quick with communication (even when he was on vacation) and provided detailed designs with explanations and options for perfecting the ring to my taste. We are lucky to have found him, and will be lifetime customers. Thank you for everything Jack. Alex and Annabelle

    Olmaz is amazing! Very personable and comfortable buying experience. Not pushy at all and wonderful speaking with their experts. Elie and Taylor could not have been more helpful and enjoyable to work with. Visited a few jewelry stores in the area, and could not imagine recommending another one higher. Olmaz is amazing and the hype is real — even if their website looks a little outdated. ;-) If you have any jewelry wants or needs (buy, repair, cleaning, etc.) and live anywhere close to here, this is the place to go! They made jewelry shopping actually FUN!

    Elie and Jack provided an exceptional, no-pressure jewelry shopping experience. As a former small business owner myself, often times I feel like people lose sight of the value of developing relationships with their clientele. Someone always wants it cheaper or done faster, but that doesn't always come with good quality or customer service. The quality and customer service at Olmaz is impeccable. Elie and Jack value the personal connections they make with their customers to help you find that perfect piece of jewelry you are looking for. Every time we stopped by, whether shopping for wedding bands, re-sizing rings, replacing watch batteries, cleaning jewelry, or the for the surprise gift my husband purchased for me on our wedding day, they were always quick to pick up where our conversations left off the last time we were in. It's always nice when you go somewhere and they know your name! It's small things like this-- this attention to detail that keeps us coming back. They make you feel more like a friend than a business transaction. I am so glad we shopped small. We have found our "jewelry home" for many years to come. Adding to my review on 7/19/23. Olmaz hit it out of the park again with impeccable service. I hadn't been by in quite a while, and as always, remembered my name. This time they worked with me to design a custom piece to remember my sweet (almost 14 1/2 year old) dog who we had to help cross the rainbow bridge earlier this summer. Needless to say I was heartbroken, but now I have this simple, elegant charm to wear with his paw print laser engraved.

    A friend was telling me how she loves this place and I am so glad she did. I had a piece of jewelry that needed to be brought back to life and not only did they understand the issue they fixed it wonderfully. I walked out the store wearing the piece. They are friendly, personable, and the store smells so amazing(aroma therapy when you walk in the door) just walking in I felt better before I even told them my problem. The jewelry selection in the store was mesmerizing. I saw some unique things that I will be returning to inquire about when I have a moment. I can't believe I go to the grocery and beauty store right next door and have never walked inside. This place is something special. If you are seeking a special piece of jewelry then you need to go in here.

    Stopped in to pick out an anniversary gift for my wife and met Jack as they opened shop for the day. I had an idea in mind but wasn't entirely sure of what I would settle on. We spent time going over many options, walked the entire display and put together different pieces based off of her style and current jewelry. It was a great, fun, and low pressure experience. We spent as much time as we needed and ended up on a gift she truly loves. Thanks again, looking forward to working with you in the future!

    Yesterday, I picked up my new wedding set from Olmaz Jewelers. After almost 25 years with a fairly plain wedding band and solitaire, I felt ready for something new, and I'm beyond thrilled with this set! 🤩💎💍 Shopping for this ring was our first time at Olmaz. Elie, the owner, was wonderfully patient and helpful in finding the right style and pairing that with some beautiful suggestions within our budget. Olmaz also sized up two inherited rings and serviced a pair of opal earrings and a matching necklace (not shown) that were handed down from my mother but had been sitting in my jewelry box for 15+ years. If you're in the NC Triangle and need a jeweler, come to Olmaz in Chapel Hill.

    Absolutely excellent service, beautiful and immaculate store, and high-quality products. We purchased one-of-a-kind gold earrings from an estate that were elegantly wrapped as a Christmas gift for my mother; she loves them! I was gifted a medical bracelet that was adjusted for size free of charge. I had a Tiffany's necklace chain repaired for $20, whereas I paid $50 for the same repair elsewhere. Staff are very friendly, including the owner! Thrilled that Olmaz stayed intact through the pandemic. Highly recommend.

    I've brought two Citizen watches to them for simple battery replacements. I was told that both needed to be serviced by a watchmaker even thought there had been no prior issues before battery dying. When I took them to a trusted watch maker they told me that the last person that worked on the watch had contaminated the mechanics. When I told them Olmaz had last worked on it they told me they have had dozens of people who have had issues after leaving their watches there. Major bummer because the watches have sentimental value but are now essentially totaled. Do not take your watch here unless you do not like said watch.

    We love Olmaz Jewelers. Jack and Elie are the best. They give the customer service and care of the local jewelry store of days gone by. I’m so Grateful they came to Chapel Hill to share their gifts and knowledge with North Carolina. Their selection of jewelry is phenomenal and their desire to make sure you’re happy with each piece, can not be matched in the Triangle. I will be forever grateful for their “Wish Lists” that make each milestone sparkle.

    I have purchased two or three items from Olmaz Jewelers and each time, the service I’ve received has been over and above what I expected. Everyone is extremely helpful and professional. It has become my first and last stop when I’m looking for jewelry!

  • 5/5 Frine C. 5 months ago on Google
    I love Olmaz! Eli is so knowledgeable and caring! Every time I come here, I am treated with such warmth and I always walk away delighted with the experience. Can’t recommend this place highly enough for all your jewelry needs!!

  • 5/5 Victoria T. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a great experience with getting my engagement ring resized and a minor jewelry repair. The process was efficient and easy and now my ring fits perfectly. Looks like they gave it a clean too! I'll definitely be back for any future jewelry repair needs.

  • 5/5 Marianna S. 6 months ago on Google
    Had the best experience having my engagement ring reset in platinum. The owners are warm, welcoming, communicative, trustworthy, provide top-notch customer service - just everything you could want in a local jeweler! So glad they’re here!

  • 5/5 Julie G. 1 year ago on Google
    We worked with Elie and Taylor to design my engagement ring and have several family rings modified for us as wedding bands. They were knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and not pushy at all. Their passion for their work was evident and made us even more excited about working with them - they gave us tons of detail on the characteristics of the diamond we chose and worked with us to design something that would be beautiful and functional. I would highly recommend Olmaz, especially if you are looking for an engagement ring - they were honest and walked us through different options in ways we hadn't experienced with other jewelers.

  • 5/5 Rami A. 10 months ago on Google
    Had an excellent and and fun buying experience with Elie and Jack! Once the setting was chosen they brought in several loose diamonds and we picked the best option. They are the experts. Highly recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Thomas O. 11 months ago on Google
    TLDR:10/10 for service, performance, and quality of staff. Olmaz is my new go to jeweler in the triangle. They have great prices, do top notch repairs, and to top it all off the staff is highly professional and will help you with whatever you need. I can’t recommend Olmaz enough!

  • 5/5 Mariana N. 11 months ago on Google
    I am one happy bride to be thanks to Jack and the team at Olmaz! He helped my fiancé design the most beautiful ring that I love. I appreciated their customer service first mindset, their transparency, and their wonderful selection of rings. I highly recommend coming here for any jewelry or watch purchase, or for repair!

  • 5/5 Tricia H. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot say enough good things about Olmaz Jewelers! From the first time I walked in, I experienced amazing customer service. After having small diamonds come out of my ring multiple times, I worked with Elie to have my ring reset. I couldn’t decide if I wanted a redesign, additional band for an anniversary, etc. and Elie patiently worked with me throughout the process. He presented me with all my options, so I was able to make an educated decision. I ultimately decided to reset my ring with my diamonds to look as close to the original as possible & I added two additional stones to represent our children. The results exceeded my expectations - I love it even more than I thought I would! It looks just like the original, but with the wonderful new addition and a more sturdy feel. Both the price & timeframe were very reasonable & fair. I never felt pushed or rushed & I couldn’t be more thankful for the care that was given to my ring that I’ll cherish forever.

    I had stopped by to get a watch bracelet resized and they were able to assist with it. The process was fast. Not only did they ensure that it was a good fit but they also provided a small bag for the links/pins/screws. I appreciate the great service and would not hesitate to recommend them!

  • 5/5 Christopher S. 2 years ago on Google
    My experience at Olmaz has been truly incredible. The jeweler on duty offered us a warm greeting right as we entered and was very kind and reassuring. All I needed was a fix for a broken clasp on my chain, and the man took it right inside to fix it as fast as possible. He periodically checked in on us to let us know how it was going, and we were in and out in about ten minutes. Genuinely can’t wait to come back, they really do have some of the coolest pieces. Thank you, Olmaz!

  • 5/5 Cindy C. 2 years ago on Google
    I took my 37 yr old wedding ring to Olmaz to have it repaired after getting estimates at 2 other jewelers, and I found that Olmaz Jewelers were so much more welcoming and also honest with me about my ring. The other jewelers wanted to repair my ring the way they wanted to see it fixed and didn’t really care how I wanted my ring to look. I worked with Jack and I could tell he was being very honest with me (I didn’t feel that at the other places), he made me feel very comfortable about leaving my ring with him and when I picked it up, I was in awe of how beautiful they restored my ring. It really sparkles now. What girl doesn’t love her diamond to sparkle!!! Thank Olmaz Jewelers. I’m a happy girl!!!

    Came in today to get the bracelet on my Seiko Alpinist sized. Elie was super helpful and friendly. He took the time to remove links, check the fit on my wrist multiple times, and packaged up the extra links for me. When I asked him what I owed he told me there was no charge. Cant say enough about how friendly the staff at Olmaz are. Will definitely be returning the next time I need some jewelry.

  • 5/5 Joseph R. 2 years ago on Google
    My partner and I thought we were going into Olmaz just to try some rings and see what they looked like. We were just browsing. Because Jack and the staff took the time to chat with us and show us several designs, we ended up finding the perfect ring. My partner and I were both speechless at the final product. They helped make this moment so special. And they are funny and kind.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth K. 2 years ago on Google
    Spent so much time helping me order two cheap chains for my costume jewelry. I messed up and ordered the wrong size. When they came in and I realized it, they reordered them for me at no cost. They paid for MY mistake! And spent hours helping me with such a monetarily small purchase! And even modified my chains for free! Unbeatable customer service.

  • 5/5 Latoya C. 2 years ago on Google
    After Pandora told me I would need to buy a new bracelet because they don’t fix them; I decided to come here to see if my bracelet could be repaired. I called first. Very friendly person I spoke with. When I got there I was greeted with a “Hello, how may I help you?” I mentioned that I called to see if my bracelet could be repaired she responded “The pandora” The owner looked at the bracelet and said “Give me a sec”. In less than five minutes my bracelet was fixed and he said it was such an easy fix… Free of charge! Definitely recommended!!!

    Olmaz Jewelers is amazing!! Their service is incredible. The employees are so knowledgeable and kind, they worked with my fiancé to create my dream ring! I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Olamz 😊

  • 5/5 Katie J. 1 year ago on Google
    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! I stopped by to have them clean and tighten a ring (that probably hadn’t had any maintenance in 5-10 years) & tighten a gap in a clasp on a Tiffany bracelet. I was expecting to drop it off and pick it up later. But they did all of that work in LESS THAN 10 MINUTES! I asked how much I owed and they said it was just a courtesy! They are so personable, professional, & kind. Very pleased with the service, both of pieces look and fit incredible!

  • 5/5 Mynia S. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot say enough good things about Olmaz Jewelers! All of the staff was so helpful and welcoming and happily answered all of our questions as we were completely new to the process. Elie walked us through every step of designing a custom engagement ring and helped us create the ring of my dreams! We will be going to Olmaz for all our future jewelry needs.

  • 5/5 Evan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped in earlier today to have the bracelet on my watch adjusted. Everyone was so kind and I was in and out in a few minutes. I highly recommend stopping by if you need watch adjustments made. The jewelry selection looked great as well and since everyone was so nice to speak with, I plan on stopping by at a later date to shop for gifts for my wife. 5/5

  • 5/5 Shannon S. 1 year ago on Google
    Elie helped me redesign an old ring and design a necklace. He took the time to show me a variety of stones to put into my ring and necklace. These pieces are beautiful! Impressed is an understatement. Elie made a ring that was associated with unpleasant memories into a new beautiful piece. I can’t wait to come back and have some more pieces designed.

    If you’re looking for a jeweler and shop that truly takes care of you and makes sure you’re 110% happy with the products and services you’re getting, you need to go to Olmaz. My fiancée purchased my engagement ring from Olmaz last year, and I couldn’t be happier!!! It was exactly what I wanted, and Jack and his team ensured that my ring fit appropriately, and even offered to inspect and clean it every couple months for me! When we started our search for wedding bands, we checked out a shop closer to our house in Raleigh, and VERY quickly realized the products and services we would get from Jack and his team at Olmaz were unparalleled. I had an idea of the band I wanted, and this other jeweler immediately told me it wouldn’t be possible with the current engagement ring I have. When I visited Jack, he told me he could create whatever band I wanted, and he delivered on that promise! Jack took so much time to help us figure out exactly what we wanted, delivered an amazingly high quality product, and I am SO excited to get to wear my band next week after we get married! Olmaz really makes you feel like a highly valued customer, and will ensure every detail is perfect for you! Although we live 30+ min away from Olmaz, we’ll continue to make the trip for all future jewelry services we need.

  • 5/5 Levi Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Jack and his team are the best in the business! He was incredibly kind and detail-oriented as I selected an engagement ring and later wedding bands with my fiancé. Even facilitating last minute changes in the ring design while on his day off no less! The level of care here has made us clients for life.

  • 5/5 Jenny 1 year ago on Google
    Olmaz Jewelers is THE place to go for all your jewlery needs. They helped me design a custom engagement ring and it is absolutely beautiful. The owners, staff, and designers are so incredibly kind, supportive, helpful, and talented. They made me feel welcome and really heard me when I talked about my dream ring. I highly highly recommend them!

  • 5/5 Katie M. 2 years ago on Google
    I love Olmaz Jewelers! I lost a small, pave diamond from my engagement ring for the first time in almost 7 years. I also needed a ring I have had for 3 years and barely worn resized. The process at Olmaz was incredibly easy while still being detailed and thorough with incredible customer service. Their shop is amazing and beautiful too. My rings were returned to me in a timely manner. The work was fantastic and my rings were cleaner than I had ever seen them. I am so grateful for this positive experience and can't wait to send my husband their way to hopefully pick up something new for me soon! ;)

    Such a kind staff and so extremely helpful. i went to multiple jewelry stores to get help with a watch repair with no luck but Olmaz was the most experienced and the only one able to help! Would recommend to anybody in the chapel hill durham area. Beautiful store as well. I loved looking at all their pieces

    Really enjoyed working with Olmaz Jewelers on designing my engagement ring. They were respectful, friendly, kind and diligent. They accommodated to my schedule and were transparent throughout the whole process.
