    My fiancé and I designed both of our engagement rings here together and I couldn't be more happy with the experience!! Other places said we would be unable to design a ring for our price range, but not John Watson! For both rings he took serious consideration of our designs as well as the price we could afford. Every step along the way was exciting here, and the final product for both rings exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a local brick and mortar jewler that you can depend on, Watson Workshop is the jewler for you. I will be going back here for all my jewlery needs from now on. Thank you so much John!

    What a lovely atmosphere at Roger Watson! As soon as I walked in I was warmly welcomed by John and another member of his team. I needed to have my engagement ring prongs checked (which I purchased elsewhere) and the team went above and beyond to help me. I left with my ring fixed and polished, but best of all, I left feeling a great sense of trust in them. I will definitely be back if I need other repairs and for future custom work. Thank you for great customer service and even better conversation while I waited (only a few minutes!).

    An absolutely wonderful experience. We met with John to re-do my partner's grandma's ring for our engagement. John got my taste immediately, spent a lot of time with us discussing details and what we wanted, made a model in his computer and met with us again to refine it. Finally, he did a 3D print of how the actual ring would look. The ring is gorgeous, the quality of the work is outstanding and the costumer service is wonderful. You cannot go wrong going here. 100% recommend Roger Watson Jewellers.

    John was fantastic!! So kind and genuine, knowledgeable, made our experience very positive (for people knowing very little about jewellery). He was not pushy at ALL, and just wanted to help out his customers! We are so happy with our rings!! Custom made men's wedding band, and he found a style that I loved based on my very vague description of what I was looking for! I would recommend him to anyone! We also got our marriage license from him.

    John made a custom ring for me out of some family jewellery. He heard my vision and made it come true. He is a true artist and easy to work with.

    I've been a customer of John and the team for almost 5 years now and they have always provided exemplary work and an amazing customer experience. The apex of design and craftsmanship is this ring, the rebirth of an old one. (I should have taken a photo of the old one, bears ZERO resemblance.) Complete custom redesign. What a showstopper!

    Went in today,first time...decided to go in because it's extremely close. Unlike most jewelry stores etc,it was not intimidating in any way. To be honest,it felt like I was being taken care of,by family. Incredibly friendly service. Extremely efficient and quality service. Very competitive pricing. I highly recommend this place. Will go back here,when the need occurs.

    John at Watson's was so kind and caring when I went in to have a very special "widow" ring made. The amalgamation of my late husband's wedding ring and mine was very emotional, but I was very comfortable in their hands. My ring is incredibly gorgeous. I have no words. I cried when I picked it up. I will always have my beautiful memories in one unique piece. Soo grateful.

    John and his staff at Watson Jewelers are exceptionally skilled and such a pleasure to deal with. Have made many purchases through them and always the highest standard of quality and customer service if I could give a 10 star rating they would get it with a + Recent interaction with them was designing a custom made ring for my partner and I couldn’t be happier with the service and final product. Shop for uniqueness and quality from start to finish best jewelers in Winnipeg hands down! They will be and always have been the group to go to.

    The individuals that work at this magnificent shop are a 10 out of 10. They listen, they have a keen eye for design and made me the most spectacular ring that made my jaw drop. They are professional, very patient and clearly know what they are doing. We will definitely be using them again in the future. The craftsmanship that goes into every design is impeccable. I am beyond proud to be wearing this ring.

    Absolutely incredible service! If you’re looking for a ring this is definitely the place to go. John was incredible through every step of the process. I had some vague ideas for a custom ring and he was able to work with me to come up with an absolutely stunning engagement ring beyond what I could have ever envisioned going into it that incorporated incredibly sentimental touches to make a perfect one of a kind ring. I was provided with many great options at every step of the process to get the best possible result with the budget I had, and the end result came out looking priceless. Everyone at the workshop was incredibly nice every time I visited. World class team all around that I highly recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Rob F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience all around. The staff there are all very helpful and knowledgeable and the owner John is a pro, taking the time to get to know his clients needs. Not to mention top quality craftsmanship.

  • 5/5 Sharon G. 1 year ago on Google
    Watson Workshop were fantastic! I took them my pearl necklace which had been broken many years ago. This was a gift from my grandparents and very special to me. The necklace was about ten pearls too long for my liking, so Watson's jewelers made two pair of earrings with the extra pearls, one more formal, one more casual. Their staff also restrung the pearls perfectly, all within a two week deadline. Thank you, Watson Workshop, for taking such good care.

  • 5/5 Kelly C. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful work and the greatest people! Excellent custom design, workmanship, and incredible customer service! We were a little worried when the original jeweler for my custom engagement ring retired, however, we found Watson Workshop and they went above and beyond to design a custom wedding band that was even more beautiful than we imagined. They were a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be returning for future designs!

  • 5/5 Erika K. 11 months ago on Google
    I don't think there could be a jeweler with better service. The team at Watson made us custom rings from our existing jewelery and it made our Vegas wedding so perfect. Thank you so much Naomi, John and the whole team we really appreciate the above and beyond service!

  • 5/5 april C. 11 months ago on Google
    I will never go anywhere else for any jewellery needs. When I needed my engagement ring re-sized they were the only jewellwers that would help, and were super friendly. I had them design my wedding ring as well, and the whole process was so enjoyable. John did an excellent job, exceeding my expectations. The entire staff is lovely. The most unpretentious, professional group of people.

  • 5/5 Timothy G. 1 year ago on Google
    John is exceptionally friendly and helpful. He was very patient with my questions and he went above and beyond to find the right sapphire for my partner's ring. John is one of the best jewelers in Winnipeg and Watson Workshop should be at the top of your list if you're looking for engagement rings.

  • 5/5 Laura K. 1 year ago on Google
    I received outstanding service today! My son had a ring stuck on his finger. They made him feel safe and comfortable as they cut it off. They were friendly and so very kind. The jewellery in the shop is exquisite, but the staff even more so!

  • 5/5 Meaghan S. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife went in to get her dad's wedding band built up after years of wear had left the bottom part of the band thin. They provided lots of info, didn't pressure her into moving forward. The end result was perfect! Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 1 year ago on Google
    John, Tyler, and the team at Watson Workshop brought our dreams to life with the perfect ring design. Their professionalism was evident throughout the entire process; John expertly translated my ideas for the custom ring design into a reality. And the ring went from a sketch to a product in less than a month, in time for a proposal in Palm Springs! We highly recommend Watson Workshop for anyone looking for a custom engagement ring and will definitely be coming back for the wedding!

  • 5/5 Sidney S. 1 year ago on Google
    We cannot say enough about Roger Watson Jewellers! They recently made the wedding bands for my son and daughter-in-law, after creating a custom engagement ring, including diamonds passed down from my mother to my wife, and now to our daughter-in-law. They also created a double-stranded pearl bracelet for the bride, from pearls passed down from my mother to my wife, as well. The service is always excellent. The store is always busy!

  • 5/5 Golden A. 1 year ago on Google
    John and I worked together to develop a design from family pieces. He was very helpful and creative while listening to my ideas. When I picked up my ring, my jaw was on the floor! The computer mock up didn’t do it justice. It’s a show stopper, but made to be wearable every single day. Outstanding customer service. Outstanding workmanship. Winnipeg, you are lucky to have such a talent in your city.

  • 5/5 Colin G. 5 years ago on Google
    John was fantastic. My fiancée and I sat down with John and designed an engagement ring. He ordered in a diamond and showed us it under the microscope before 3D printing a model of the ring. It came out looking great! We are so happy we went to Roger Watson to get it done. Excellent service, excellent product, excellent value! Thanks John!

  • 5/5 Chris C. 4 years ago on Google
    The whole team from Watson’s jewellers was incredible from the moment I walked in. John was very patient and walked me through the process of creating a custom engagement ring for my fiancé. The design experience with John was very interactive. We sat down and designed the piece together using 3-D software. He would send custom digitals of what we created before moving on to the next step. John was very easy to communicate with; He responded to emails promptly and we were able to create the piece together in a timely manner. I would highly recommend the Watson team to anyone looking for a custom piece.

  • 5/5 Zack R. 2 years ago on Google
    My fiancé and I came into Watson Workshop with a vision in mind. After a few simple conversations, John was able to draw up my fiancés exact vision. John was a pleasure to work with. John's team at Watson Workshop team did amazing work on my fiancés set of wedding rings. I would highly recommend choosing Watson Workshop for all your jewellery needs. My fiancé and I will be returning to have my wedding band custom made!

    I reached out to Watson Workshop to inquire about a custom engagement ring. My initial phone conversation with their staff was very informative and helpful. I later went to the shop and was met by the owner John. He walked me through his process of creating the ring, showed me some samples, and helped to generate the start of a design. He also gave me a price range on the expected cost based on our conversation about the design and materials. I could sense John's genuine excitement about helping me with this project. About a week later (and way ahead of schedule), John called to inform me he had a mock-up 3D print of the design. It was exactly as I had envisioned. We agreed on the design and price, and about a week or so later John had the finished product ready for pick-up. I have to say, the finished ring exceeded my expectations. The communication throughout the whole process was exceptional. I really appreciate John and his staff's genuine enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and gratitude for the opportunity to help with this ring. I would highly recommend.

    We cannot say enough good things about John and his team! I emailed them my inspiration ring and quote, with a tight timeline. They fit us in quickly, and John gave us informative suggestions on how to make my ring more secure but still within my vision and budget. They had a 3D mold completed within days which we were able to review, and then the actual ring produced soon after. We were very impressed by John's passion and craftsmanship!

    John made my experience very enjoyable. He was extremely personable, reasonable and set me up with exactly what I wanted for a great price. I highly recommend using Watson Workshop for any of your needs!
