Sid Stevens is by far the best jeweler around! My fiancé (boyfriend at the time) and I showed up to look at their rings. They were absolutely stunning! We asked about custom rings and Sid himself talked with us and told us all about Antwerp, Belgium and how they go every single year to hand pick diamonds for their customers orders. We found a ring style we liked, figured out exactly what we wanted, then talked it over with Sid. We paid for the diamonds and he came back from Antwerp two weeks later. What a WONDERFUL choice! The diamonds were the best cuts and clarity I had ever seen, and they were all mine! We also received certificates of authenticity for each diamond. Within a short time, he hand built my ring. My boyfriend proposed and I was BLOWN AWAY! It was absolutely stunning. It sparkles even in the dark. I have already had more than THIRTY people, strangers even, comment on how sparkly my ring is. With most Jewelers (corporate ones such as: Fred Meyers, Harry Ritchies) they will often show you a gorgeous ring and order it. When its ordered, its not the same ring quality AT ALL. You dont know exactly where the diamonds came from, or how well it was assembled. I have witnessed this several times with my girlfriends and it was terrible! The diamonds were muddy, asymmetrical, and always falling out. Very few jewelers hand pick, hand craft, hand care, and personally see to every detail that you need and want. With Sids, I knew exactly where the diamonds came from, and I have personally witnessed the care and concentration that goes into the relationship of every person who walks through those doors! HUGE bonus: Lifetime warranty, comes with the ring. Absolutely an incredible thing! If any diamonds fall out, they are replaced at no cost, as long as theyve seen you about once a month to clean the ring and have it inspected for loose stones. I really appreciated this experience. I am so glad we didnt go anywhere else. I love knowing that for the rest of my life, I can walk In, have my ring cleaned in five or less minutes, and knowing Im being taken care of. The staff is incredibly friendly and youll often see his beautiful wife helping with anything you need! They run an honest, and rare business of true dedication, care, and quality.

My husband and I have been married for three years. Sid Stevens helped my husband create a beautiful wedding set for me. Sid is so confident of his jewelry that no guarantee is needed. He said a diamond has never come loose from a ring he has made. Since then weve moved out of state. As weve come back to Oregon to visit from time to time weve dropped into Sids shop to have him check up on my ring. This past time he noticed that my separate band had been rubbing down a prong. He built up the eroded prong and welded the two bands together for free. Sid is an incredibly generous businessman and talented artist. He stands behind anything he has created. If you are looking for gorgeous pieces ready made or have a custom order in mind I would strongly suggest you see Sid Stevens.

Made an order two months prior to my trip. When I went in to pick it up, they had not started it and refused to start it. They told me they had other order that had just come in already started. When I told them I went somewhere else to have a ring made in time for the trip, but still wanted the diamonds for an order, they blamed me for their screw up and refused my service with a refund check. I will never go back to this place or recommend them to anyone. This place does not do good service or work, they treat their customers like garbage.

I consider a jeweler like my doctor or accountant . . . I know very little about gems and mountings so I want someone I know I can trust. Sid and Susan are those folks. Even though I live in another city, I make the drive to Albany to have Sid make my pieces and to ask his advice. They are as honest as they come and dependable. We have had multiple pieces designed and handcrafted in their shop and they have always exceeded our expectations. Never a disappointment! Duane and Maggie Byerley

We have had Sid design several pieces of jewelry for us and theyve all turned out to be exceptional! This last item was a true surprise to me! My husband worked with Sid (without my knowledge) to create a beautiful pendant for our 10th wedding anniversary! Sid picked out certain diamonds while in Antwerp and created a masterpiece that I will cherish forever! He is a true artist and is very knowledgeable in jewelry creation/design. I couldnt be happier with his work!

My fiance proposed to me with a diamond that his mom passed down to him. Neither of us were sure what we had in mind for an engagement ring or band. We worked with Sid on a custom ring and it turned out more than amazing!! It is one of a kind ring that I continually get compliments on where ever I go! We both still look at it in awe of what a special piece of jewelry it is! We would definitely recommend Sid Stevens!!

Have been waiting for 4 almost 5 years for him to finish a ring, emails back and forth and 3 visits to his store In person a very nice man lots of promise and a $500.00 deposit. Still waiting for the return of my deposit, getting close to year 5. Not feeling the love,

Beautiful inventory, and it is one of the few places you can still have a real, trained goldsmith help you design a one of a kind piece of wearable art.
