Last year when I proposed to my fiancee I was lucky enough to have been introduced to Victor at Dickens Jewelers to help me design the perfect ring. He spent about two hours with me sharing his in store samples, and then custom designing a one of a kind ring. The beautiful ring was ordered on Monday, and arrived on Friday just in time for the weekend proposal. I was invited to the shop to see the ring and stone before it was set, and was able to pick it up within a few hours of its arrival to the store. On the day of engagement sitting on the steps of the Red Mill I presented my wife to be with a ring that glowed, sparkled and matched the beauty of her eyes. The deep blue sapphire stone, wrapped in diamonds exploded when the box was opened. In the heat of the excitement, we found out that the ring size was a bit too small... Luckily Victor was right across the street and was able to re-size the ring within hours. He shared in our congratulations and excitement and did everything he could to make that day perfect. When it came time to shop for our wedding bands the first and only stop was back to Dickens Jewelers. Victor sat with us for about an hour listening to our budget, our design ideas, and functionality of the rings. He ordered in stones for us to review, and guided us in selecting a ring that would last a lifetime. When our rings arrived we were overjoyed with how they looked, the design was just as we hopped for, and truly matched our style. Victor and his family at Dickens are truly passionate about what they do, and care about their customers. If you are searching for an engagement or wedding ring and want to be wowed, this is the only place to go. Thank you so much for your help and passion. Sincerely Jenn & Mollie

I brought 3 waterproof watches to Dickens for new batteries (a Tag Heuer, an Esquire, and a Bulova Marine Star). I paid $40 each for batteries and the waterproofing. The Bulova worked fine until I got it into a pool and it leaked. The Esquire worked for 3 weeks then just stopped working. The Tag Heuer stopped working literally 2 weeks later (weird coincidence, right?) Thinking it was just a bad batch of batteries, I brought them back for new batteries. Without even looking at the Tag and the Esquire, he told me they need “service” and charged me $20 each for a bench fee. He said he couldn’t figure out why the Bulova was leaking but I was told that it may need a new crown ($125), the Esquire needed service ($175) and the Tag needed service ($215). Thanks, anyway. I took them all back. They all worked fine before I brought them in. Now, after requesting batteries and $160 later, I have 3 watches, only one of which works and none of which are waterproof. I wish I’d never stumbled in there. I started feeling like I was buying a used car. I’m not going back and certainly wouldnt recommend.

Delightful doing business with Victor at Dickens. I have had a couple of negative experiences in the area, but from now on.... only Dickens for all my jewelry needs, be it service, repair, batteries, or a special purchase. While replacing several watch batteries, Victor informed me that a watch I was told was "kaput" by another jeweler was not at all kaput. I had asked that he only remove the battery so we could retain the watch as a keepsake. Victor took it upon himself to test the watch, and bingo....not a thing wrong with it other than needing a new battery. This is a wonderful, honest, family-run small business that has only owned Dickens since 2014. So if you havent stopped in lately, what are you waiting for!?

I replaced the battery in a cheap watch and asked if they could put the back piece back on. The guy behind the counter said "Ill take care of if for you" 60 seconds later he walks out and says "that will be $5". I didnt have any cash on me and all transactions on cards are $10 minimum so he ended up going back and taking the piece back off before handing it to me. At another local jewelry store they do these quick things for free because they know it brings customers back. I only went to dickens because it was closer. But unfortunately he likes to nickel and dime everyone.

I have been to a lot of jewelers and none of which I believe contained people that were as qualified and skilled in the field. Recently I received a polish from Dickens jewelers for my Panerai GMT and I can honestly say that the job done on the watch was incredible. The owner of the store is the most experienced and skilled people when it comes to these matters, miles above anyone else I have been too. I would highly recommend this store to anyone looking for the best of the best.

I sold my engagement ring and wedding band here. Everyone was very kind and showed much respect and honesty. They had given me exactly what I had asked for. I will definitely go back to them for my jewelery needs and will recommend them to family and friends!

Victor is honest and personable. He has great talent, either in doing watch repairs or jewelry. I highly recommend him.
