I have never been treated so badly by any business in my life. Unfortunately his employees are along for the ride but the owner is extremely rude, egotistical, insulting and patronizing. I brought in a high end GIA certified color change sapphire upon the owners request. Upon arrival I could loudly hear his grumbling from the office accusing me of bringing in a fake stone because he didnt even know that color change sapphires existed until his employee explained that it was indeed a stone that actually exists. Next he grumbled at my GIA paperwork because it was in a clear plastic sleeve which he was unfamiliar with most likely due to being unfamiliar with the current format GIA sends its reports. Next he DROPPED MY STONE then acted quite defensive and insulting when I inspected it for damage. Things went even further down hill as he told me "to sell that junk in outer space because nobody in this world wants it" then he tried to give me an extremely insulting lecture on how much I dont know about gem stones, although he didnt even know that color change sapphires existed until ten minutes before hand. At this point I told him I wasnt interested in his lecture, his employee even jumped in and told him nobody wanted to hear any more of his rudeness. He then told me to "get the f out". I remained courteous and told them to have a nice day as they continued to argue as I left. Athenas is the absolute last place in town you should ever take your business to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The service, friendliness, and support you get at Athena is second to none. Steve truly treats his customers like family. My wifes wedding ring was designed and built by hand at Athena, from a sketch that I gave Steve, and it came out great. My wife works hard with her hands, and that ring has taken a beating every day for 13 years and remains in perfect shape and is just as beautiful as ever. I cant imagine a better value, better service, or better quality than I get from Athena.

Mr. Sophokles is a genuine sweet heart. My wedding ring needed to be enlarged and it was done perfectly by the next day. You could tell tell anything had been done other than it fitting perfect. Loved his stories and advice. He reminded me so much of my late father. Look forward to doing further business with him again.

This is really a wonderful place, they have a massive selection of merchandise, and if they still dont have what youre looking for they can custom design a piece for you. This is a local, family business and have been in downtown Wichita for many years. Go check it out, and be prepared to be impressed!

We had such a great experience at Athena. Found just what we wanted. Got a lot of great personal advice on Diamond quality. Sophocles made me propose again, just to make sure. But that was kind of fun too. Certainly wont find us at a Yales or a Helzbergs ever again.
