This is by far the friendliest, most fun, down to earth team anyone could hope to work with when tackling the sometimes daunting task of jewelry shopping. Although we have worked with several staff members, our go to jewelry genius has been Julie. She is not only an incredibly knowledgable gemstone and jewelry expert, shes the sweetest person to deal with. You will never feel pressured to buy. They work as a family with your best interest at heart. You wont be sent home with anything thats not the right fit for what youre looking for at the price youre comfortable with. My now husband had been on the hunt for an engagement ring, which, to most, would have been a nearly impossible task given the incredible specifics I had laid out with high expectations. After checking out several jewelry stores between San Francisco and Minneapolis, he wandered into JB Hudson. When he was approached while looking at diamond engagement rings, I can only imagine looking flustered holding a list of requests/demands/specifications described in detail by me, Julie was the first person of any of the stores to not ask the question, "Whats HER name." When I was later told this story, I would never have faulted someone for making this assumption, as the ring I wanted wasnt exactly what youd consider a stereotypically "masculine" ring. But this genuine, thoughtful, not presumptuous approach, really resinated with my husband as the icing on the cake to a beautiful store with a stunning selection of jewelry, making it the perfect place to find the perfect ring. When the ring was presented, it was stunning, I had to say yes. However, we both knew full out that this ring would only be temporary until I designed my own setting around the flawless stone. Thus finally introducing me to the woman I heard so much about, Julie. She was every bit as sweet as I had imagined, to the point I just enjoy stopping by to say, "Hello" to her as well as others she works closely with. We have since bought both of our wedding bands from Julie, as well as have plans for more pieces int he future. This has been an amazing journey, one that Im very happy my husband braved. But this store will always be a special place to us. One that we plan to visit for many years to come.

I was given a few recommendations to go to JB Hudson, Minneapolis to purchase an engagement ring. I began speaking with Kelly over the phone. I did not see a three stone diamond ring on their website, so I asked Kelly if I could send her a variety of pictures of what my now Fiance wanted. Kelly contacted me the next day and advised she had two rings that would be available to see the next day. Due to my work schedule, generally working after 7pm, and not being able to make it during normal business hours, Kelly scheduled a private appointment after hours for my Fiance and I to come view the rings. The parking was valet, and upon entering JB Hudson we were met by Kelly and a few associates. They were extremely friendly, even provided my Fiance with a glass of Champagne. - Great First Impression. After the meeting, Kelly told me to text/call/email her at anytime. The fact that she allowed me to text her at anytime showed the commitment she has for her profession. Within a few days, I purchased the ring. Kelly provided me with a veterans discount, which again was above and beyond. Kelly kept me up to date on any updates while it was being designed and made. Once the ring was ready, I decided to bring my Fiances sister along when I picked up the ring. Again Kelly was very flexible when it came to setting up the appointment. Kelly came into work on her day off and made sure that I was 100% satisfied on the ring. JB Hudson, Minneapolis will continue to be the Jeweler that I go to for any other Jewelry needs. Their work ethic, dedication, and customer service I found higher than other Jewelers such as Tiffany. Thanks Kelly and all of their staff.

Ive been a customer at JB Hudson since moving to Minneapolis. It started with just a basic watch repair for a crown that had fallen off a watch to just buying my third watch from them! Bruce, Kathleen, David, Nick, the people in the repair department, and everyone Ive run into know how to take care of customers. Bruce understands that finding the next time piece can be a long process and always takes the time to show me the same pieces on multiple visits. No pressure at all as he wants me to be happy with my purchase when I leave. Kathleen is extremely friendly always with a smile on her face and has a wealth of knowledge about time pieces. David and Nick are great to talk to and are happy to geek out about watches. The preowned department is unrivaled in the state and the prices are extremely fair. The selection is always fantastic and they cater to every budget. Every watch is serviced before selling and backed by a warranty so you know youre getting authentic quality timepieces. Im always greeted right away and offered a beverage while I shop around. I recommend JB Hudson to all watch enthusiasts. Thank you JB Hudson and all the staff for making your store my favorite place to visit in downtown Minneapolis!

Hands down the most pleasant experience working with Kelly at JB Hudson. We had initially went to other jewelers ( Kay, Helzberg, etc.) for engagement rings and we never felt comfortable there. We were recommended by good friends to visit JB Hudson because they were so happy with their result. We instantly felt a sense of comfort when we got there. It just seemed like one of those places youll never find. She sat us down as we looked at diamonds and she explained how they are truly graded and what is most important when making the decision. We went through 4 computer designs over 2 months for the custom look we were looking for before I decided it was what we wanted. Price was a factor obviously and Kelly made it her mission to get us exactly what we wanted for that price while ensuring top quality. She even went to the point where we were changing diamonds from 2.35mm to 2.2mm diamonds just to hit my price range. Even though I was being so picky Kelly was more than helpful in every way and so professional at all times. If it wasnt for them we would still be looking for that perfect ring.

Excellent service, Thanks Patrick! After working with my local jeweler for 3 weeks which is 40 miles from Minneapolis l was getting frustrated with my experience. I was not able to describe what I wanted because I had never purchased an engagement ring and was more and more confused after each visit. I called ahead and spoke to Patrick and he assured me he had a good selection in stock that was within my budget and style requirements. When I arrived they valet parked my car, I was offered a cold beverage, and I had the full attention of Patrick to guide me to make the perfect selection. Because I lived an hour away they were able to set the diamond that day and I left completely satisfied with all paperwork, a beautiful ring, and an additional pocket box for the proposal. I was on budget and very happy. If your spending 6k or more on a ring this is where you want to purchase at!
