Vernon Jewelers

Alan Haugen and the friendly staff at Vernon Jewelers take care of all of my families' jewelry needs, from purchases of jewelry, watch and jewelry repair, to the designing and creating out of solid gold with a gem stone a beautiful man's ring. Alan and staff are helpful, respectful, knowledgeable, friendly, and never pushy. I highly recommend Vernon Jewelers as the go to jewelry store in Salem.

My wedding band desperately needed to be redone. New prongs, new stones, the band, all needed fixing. They walked me through what needed to be done and gave me a price. The ring I got back two weeks later looked the ring my husband slipped on my finger 33 years ago! It was absolutely beautiful! Not only that, they had to do extra work with more expensive materials and still charged me the same price. I would highly recommend them for any repairs you need done!!!

My ring was purchased from a chain jeweler and has a lifetime warranty on it. When I would take it in to be fixed, the problem would return within a couple of weeks. This has gone on since for at least 10 years! I was so frustrated with not being able to wear my wedding ring I finally decided to take it to someone local and see what they could do. I hadn't worn my ring for over a year because my middle stone was so loose I was afraid I would lose it.nFinally, I took my ring into Vernon Jewelers. I met Alan and he showed me what exactly was happening and why. He actually invited me to look in the microscope to see what the actual problem was. He educated me on why this kept making my stone come loose. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does! I received my ring back about a week later and it looked better than the day I received it! Alan and his team are top notch! I definitely will be using Vernon Jewelers again!

Excellent service. Ariel at Vernon is a class act! Thank you for making my husbands wedding ring everything we had hoped for.

It was my good fortune to find Alan and his staff at Vernon Jewelers. He restored a precious family heirloom that had been horribly mishandled by another less-knowledgeable jeweler. My mother's 70 year old mid-century platinum wedding band, set with 29 matched diamonds had been badly damaged and twisted in removing it from her hand after an accident. The jeweler who 'repaired' it didn't realize that it is platinum, (unbelievable) and repaired it with white gold and a very heavy hand. Most of the diamonds were hidden under globs of white gold solder, and the band was reattached with the same. 2 years later it cracked in half,which sent me looking for a real certified goldsmith. Fortunately, I found Alan and his staff at Vernon Jewelers in Salem, Or. After a great deal of effort it was decided that the best 'repair' would be to just re-create it with a clone. I know this isn't for everybody, but the sentimentality and the provenance of the ring was not as strong as my desire to have the ring restored to it's original beauty. Well, it took some time, but was SO worth the wait. We are ecstatic with the ring today. It is exactly the ring that Dad purchased in 1950, strong, beautiful and flawless. No stress fractures, no failing points, exactly perfect.nnThere are not words to express my gratitude to Vernon Jewelers, I now have another 70 years of family tradition to pass along to my children and grandchildren.nnVernon Jewelers will be our family jeweler for generations to come.nnPhilis SchmidtnScotts Mills, OR
