Von Bargen's Jewelry

I purchased a solid silver bracelet for my wife online for her birthday. It was a little over my budget and when I called the store, they were able to help me out just enough on price and gave me super-fast shipping so that I had it in plenty of time for her birthday. Would definitely shop there again!

I went in there with some jewelry that I'm giving to my daughter. I wanted to have it cleaned, buffed and polished, to look like new again. I was treated very badly, they took the jewelry out back and cleaned it in a cleaner and rudely sent me on my way. I could have done that much cleaning on my own. I went to another jeweler who took a close look and found that 2 of the stones were loose, they repaired them, buffed and polished, looking like new. Oh, and while I was there, I bought another piece of jewelry.

It was seven years ago my wife and I decided to purchase our wedding rings from Von Bargen's. The staff and owners took time to educate us on our purchase, taking all the unknowns out and making us feel comfortable with our decisions. It's clear from the moment you walk into a Von Bargen's you are in a team atmosphere where everyone is engaged in the stores success by creating welcoming customer experiences. At one time I was a retailer myself and I appreciate the effort it takes to create that sort of environment for both the staff and the customer.

I had an amazing experience not only buying this ring but also giving this ring to my Wife for our 10 year anniversary. The service I received from Von Bargens was really World Class. You don't experience this type of service very often, but when you do receive it, you know it. They helped me pick this ring out and it is my Wife's favorite piece she has now.

Von Bargen's Jewelry has proven to be an exceptional resource for me. Why? you ask. Well, I have four daughters, in addition to my lovely Armenian wife, and each has been extremely happy with the gifts that have come from this source of fine gems (& I use the term broadly). I had Armenian crosses (a special and elaborate design) uniquely crafted for each of my daughters and my wife, celebrated birthdays and anniversaries with gold necklaces, cocktail rings, and black pearls, and have been a catalyst to my daughters to seek their own treasures from this pirate trove of Von Bargen's. My only disappointment is that I thought surely each of the most personable representatives would wear an eye patch (possibly studded with left overs from the last looted ship).nThen it was my turn! My wife made arrangements for a ring to be designed and crafted for me! Now I can be a pirate too. I append my thank you note to the Von Bargen's crew which reflects how I felt about the ring.nRespectfully,nBlake D Prescott, MD,CM aka Pirate BlakennDear Nathan, Tina, Jason, Bruce, and Roxanne,nThis unique and exquisite ring is extraordinary and the effort & artistry of all contributors is much appreciated.nThe stone is special since my grandfather was a geologist who schooled me on agates when I was but a lad and this ring replaces a fire agate that had served as a wedding ring. The dancing rainbows in this beautiful ellipse couldn't be better.nThe wax crafted model was perfect. Exceptional esthetics were necessary to complement such a large stone … as well as balance and support. Bruce met this challenge magnificently.nThe work of the alchemists in turning the wax into gold, shouldering the stone so as to display the beautiful gold and finishing a work of art that spoke of understated elegance is exceptional. Roxanne's suggestions as artfully translated and shepherded by Jason, Tina, and Nathan, were flawlessly accomplished. The artistry and caring at each step of the ring's creation is evident. The ring fits perfectly and can be shined as well as removed with that wonderful Greek panacea, Windex.nThank you all for your marvelous artistry.nI love the ring.nSincerely,nBlake Prescott
