Choosing Calvins to create our dream custom engagement ring was the absolute best decision.Ashley helped us from start to finish and was so patient for every little thing we asked for. When we wanted more diamond options on top of the several she already showed us, she came through and showed us even more incredible options. She was a pleasure to work with and made it such a special process for us.I cant stop staring at the perfect ring they created for us and would recommend them to my closest loved ones. Well definitely be coming back to Calvins for our wedding bands.
We have been using Calvins for all of our jewelry needs for many years. Weve had things restyled, repaired, appraised, etc. and have always had a wonderful experience. Having said that, despite our enjoyable relationship with them, going in to help our out of town son find just the right ring to give to the perfect girl gave me more than a little pause. I called and asked if someone would have a little time one afternoon to visit with me regarding the selection of an engagement ring. Ashley said that shed be delighted to help and that I could come in at my convenience. I showed up a little later and met this beautiful woman who I would later learn had to be my fairy godmother! She took me to a more private area of the store and began asking questions about my son and his lovely intended. We discussed a number of possibilities, and she educated me a great deal about the possible settings. Finally, we decided on a path. Thats where her true magic began to reveal itself, she went to work finding the best stone, optimal setting, etc. Oh, did I mention that we had a fairly serious time crunch? Despite all involved telling us that we couldnt get it in time, Ashley assured us that she would get involved and make it happen. Our AMAZING, 2.6 carat, internally flawless emerald cut solitaire arrived two days early! We have always loved this store, but our experience with Ashley was so special and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts!
When shopping around for an engagement ring, we went to about a dozen places. The last place we went was Calvin’s. No where else explained the 4 C’s of the diamonds to us. The service we received was not matched by any other store. Alex was incredible in explaining everything and taking notes to ensure my fiancée gets exactly what she wanted. Since we were getting a custom ring, we had mock ups sent to make sure they met all of our desires. The turn around time was much faster than expected, and it was a faster timeline than other places told us. It was so fast that I had the ring for weeks before I planned to propose. When we get our bands, we will almost certainly be returning to Calvin’s.
While shopping for an engagement ring, I first visited another jewelry store in downtown Austin. There was nothing in particular not to like about the store, but it wasnt anything special. The downtown store did have exactly the type of ring I wanted to buy, though. I wanted to try at least one other store before I made my purchase, and that led me to Calvins. Luckily, I met Calvin Jr. that day. I was immediately at ease with his welcoming and down to earth personality. The only problem was, he didnt have that perfect ring that I had found previously at the downtown store. However, he offered to custom make the exact ring that I wanted at a competitive price. Also, I was in a time crunch to meet the date I wanted to propose to my fiancée, and he offered to do all of that AND get it in time for my deadline. I was honestly shocked at this amazing level of service. I really dont think Ive seen that level of service before. The ring turned out GREAT, and even better than the ring from the other downtown store. I cannot say enough about how much I would recommend Calvins to anyone looking for jewelry. They have proven that will go above and beyond for their customers. Thank you Calvins!!
My boyfriend and I went in to shop for an engagement ring. Ashley texted me before the appointment to bring in diamonds in the size and shape that I was looking for. She was super helpful, listened, asked great questions, and genuinely got us to understand what we were buying. The ring turned out absolutely perfect! My boyfriend and I are floored by how gorgeous it is. Would definitely recommend Calvin’s, we’ll be back to shop for wedding rings soon!!!
Man, Calvins is amazing! I cannot express how thankful I am for their team to find me the perfect engagement ring for my Fiancé! It is truly stunning!! They were able to get the ring in on short notice and at the perfect size. Shop local and support these great folks. They make you feel like a person, rather than a number, or another sale.
I worked with Ashley to re-set my diamond and she was incredible. As a designer, I am very detail oriented and focused on design and Ashley nailed it. She was also so wonderful to work with - so communicative, friendly and trustworthy. And I could believe how fast the whole process was. I picked up my ring today - a week earlier than promised - and its even more spectacular than I had imagined. I would give Calvins (and specifically Ashley) 10 starts if I could.
Calvins was the best choice for our custom engagement ring. I was working with a tight timeline and a family jewel that needed to be extracted, re-set, then set in another ring with new side diamonds. Alexandra worked with us to honor the stone and create a new ring that was our own, all ahead of schedule! I cant recommend their work enough.
My review:I visited Calvins to find my engagement ring and the setting and staff were very welcoming. Ashley sat with me and engaged with me about my fiancee and how we met. She was very personable and that made for a very comfortable selection process. She loved that my fiancee allowed me to select and customize my ring. Ashley was very accommodating to my fiancee who uses a wheelchair in scheduling a time to pick out my ring. I am so happy Calvins offers lab created diamonds. I love my ring because it reflects my values of innovation, creativity, and respect to the planet and humanity. We highly recommend Ashley at Calvins!From my fiancee, Scott:Ashley at Calvin’s was so amazing when helping me find the perfect ring for my fiancé! She walked me through the best ways of selecting everything by phone when it was difficult for me to visit the store for mobility reasons. When I did visit Calvin’s; Ashley was always there and very friendly and easy to work with. We could not have done it so perfectly without Calvin’s and Ashley and we will recommend them to anyone!
I went into Calvin’s after a friend recommended them to me. I wanted to have a custom engagement ring made using some diamonds that were gifted to me from family. Calvin Jr. took a few pictures from me and ran with it, creating the ring exactly how I imagined it. He found the perfect sapphire and turned around the custom work very quickly. I was provided updates each step of they way and never felt rushed into anything. The customer service here is beyond reproach, I can’t recommend them enough!
We shopped around at a few different places before finding Calvins, and Im really happy we did. Our custom ring is exactly what we wanted and Melissa was so helpful through the whole process. It never felt like we were in a sales situation like some other places and the price was really fair.
Calvin Jr. was a pleasure to work with. He listened to everything that we said and guided us through the process so that we felt educated and confident with our diamond purchase. The entire process was worry free and the ring came out exactly how we envisioned it! Thank you to the Calvins team for making our dreams come true!
Ashley was great to work with on the engagement ring for my fiancee. Ashleys experience and knowledge, no-pressure demeanor, and genuine interest in the customer are only a few of the reasons I recommend Calvins! My fiancee and I are very happy with Calvins!
Had a great experience here after having a not-so-great experience at a Jeweler down the street. I worked with Ashley who was caring, responsive, and worked hard to make sure I received the perfect engagement ring. I came with an idea for an engagement ring in mind and Ashley brought it to life while staying within my budget. I never felt pressured to make a decision and felt confident I was getting the best deal possible. Calvins has competitive diamond pricing even compared to online (lab grown) diamonds. Thank you so much Ashley and Calvins Fine Jewelry!
My fiance wanted to look at rings for our engagement and took me to Calvins Fine Jewelry where we met Ashley. She is fantastic. She listened to what I thought I wanted and showed me several things. I liked different aspects of several rings so she suggested we custom make the ring. It is simply gorgeous. It is unique and I cant stop looking at it. Calvins is a wonderful Jewelry store. You feel so comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. They truly care about you and want to make you happy. Ashley was great keeping in touch with us and helped me plan a little surprise for Paul too. He loves his ring as well. In 9 days we will wear them for a lifetime and visit Ashley often. Again, she is wonderful to work with at Calvins and we adore her.
What an amazing experience I had working with Ashley. She is an expert when it comes to diamonds and explained all of my options to me. She was very patient and helped me design the most beautiful ring. I would highly recommend Calvins, and especially Ashley, to handle your diamond needs with exceptional care and attention.
My wife and I went into Calvins to do some window shopping as Valentines day and her birthday were upcoming. We were immediately greeted by Alexandra who was able to show us around the store. Alexandra was very welcoming, extremely knowledgeable about the jewelry and stones in the store, and able to provide some different options that aligned with what we were looking for. I returned back a few days later without my wife to make the purchases. Alexandra remembered us and remembered a couple of necklaces that my wife made specific comments about liking. I bought both that day for each of the upcoming occasions. I feel like a got a fantastic deal on two very high end pieces of jewelry that my wife absolutely adored once I gave them to her. Alexandra made the entire process extremely easy.I had a great experience at Calvins with Alexandra and will definitely return in the future when those special occasions come up!
When shopping around for an engagement ring, I didnt really know where to begin. Should I just go to a big box store? Should I buy online? I didnt even know what I was looking for. A friend of mine referred me to Calvins and the rest is history.Unlike the big box stores I browsed, Calvins has a warm environment. I worked directly with Calvin Jr. and he was extremely patient with me and answered all my questions before helping me decide on the perfect ring.10 out of 10. Would recommend.
When I asked where to go for jewelry in Austin, my cousin recommended Calvins. Calvins helped us design the most gorgeous studs as a special gift for my daughter. The staff were very knowledgeable and a joy to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our purchase. Highly recommend.
My fiancé purchased my engagement ring at Calvins but allowed me to be a part of the selection process and what a joy it was! We worked with Ashley Woodson and every part of the process from first coming to Calvins and trying on rings to designing exactly what I wanted to receiving my ring was so smooth and enjoyable! Ashley was constantly communicating with us and providing us with timely updates and ensuring that the final product was exactly what I wanted it to be. Ive been wearing my ring for about a week now and have received so many compliments and I believe that is in large part to all of the work that Ashley put in to helping my vision come to life! Thank you Ashley and Calvins for making this already exciting time in our lives even more fun!
From the moment I walked in and was greeted by everyone to the very end of my experience was suburb. I knew a little bit about what I was doing but Alexandra made sure to educate me through the process as I wanted a custom designed engagement ring. It only took one shot for them to get it right. Alexandra kept me informed the entire way and answered all of my questions. Her customer service was beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Calvin’s Fine Jewelry. Thanks for making me feel special.
When my husband Dom was ring searching, he wasnt impressed by any of the jewelers he visited. On a whim he went to Calvins and instantly fell in love with their collections. He picked out a ring that I absolutely love. Dom and I have gone back a few times, each with Alexandra for wedding bands and ring cleanings and Alexandra has been so accommodating and helpful. Never pushy, and shes so knowledgeable and patient. We have been so happy with this process! Thank you Alexandra!
A couple of months ago, I reached out to Ashley and asked for her help in designing a custom engagement ring that didnt break the bank. She responded very quickly and worked with me to not only select an amazing design, but to incorporate a family gemstone before the date I wanted to propose. Even with revisions to the design, the price was less than I had expected and her help was worthwhile -- my fiance says her ring is better than anything she would have chosen herself! The entire Calvins team and the quality of their work was flawless, and I will (and have) recommended them (especially Ashley) for anyone needing amazing work done for a reasonable price.
Ashley is truly a gem! She is just so kind and provides superior customer service. I don’t live in Texas currently and have to ship my ring for cleaning. I know it is always in great hands and looks brand new every time I get it back. Ashley and her team are definitely the best there is— you will NOT be disappointed!!
My experience with Calvins was outstanding! Ashley worked with me very effortlessly and professionally to realize the final product of the dream engagement ring! Her artistic eye complemented my vision, and was very personalized.
Ashley is who you want to design your rings!When I started shopping for an engagement ring for my now wife, we were particular about the style and stone we wanted. We searched many jewelry stores but couldnt find anything we liked. We even had a jeweler give us some design options, but they werent really what we were wanting. Then we luckily stumbled across Ashley, and I could not be more grateful for all that she did for us.She worked with me over multiple meetings, and months, to design the perfect engagement ring. When the renderers wanted to simplify a design, she had my back, and either pushed back against them, or worked with me to redesign it within their perimeters.Months later when it was time to get the wedding band, there was only one person I called, and Ashley blew us away with matching the band to the engagement ring.Six months later, I still catch my wife admiring her rings. Whenever I want to get her more jewelry, Ashley will be who I go see.
Alexandra at Calvin’s helped my fiancé and I design the perfect engagement ring. I went into the process without much knowledge of diamonds or ring styles and frankly was not sure what I wanted in an engagement ring. She walked us through the entire process and discussed different diamond and ring styles. From just that initial meeting, Alexandra designed an exquisite ring that was absolutely perfect. She made the entire process an enjoyable and stress-free experience. I would highly recommend Calvin’s to everyone, especially couples who are looking for engagement rings and aren’t sure where to start.
Ashley was absolutely amazing to work with! For my wedding band, I wanted to use my grandmother’s ring and diamonds. Ashley not only helped to make a beautiful custom piece, but she went above and beyond to make sure my grandmother’s ring was well taken care of. I can’t thank her and the Calvin’s team enough for what they did and the beautiful ring they created.
Alexandra at Calvin’s was incredible. She made the process of buying an engagement ring easy and I did not feel pressured or oversold. I went to 5 other jewelers and Alexandra’s service and honesty won my business. 10/10 would recommend!
I came to Calvins to get an engagement ring for my wife. Despite not knowing anything, the staff especially Calvin Jr helped me pick the perfect ring.My wife was absolutely ecstatic and loves her ring. The level of customer focus in unmatched and I would highly recommend anyone to stop in and support this Gem of a business!
Bought a wonderful engagement ring from Calvin’s! We worked with Alexandra and she was wonderful with helping my future fiancé narrow down her choices! She got a beautiful ring beyond her expectations and we still stayed in our budget range. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from Calvin’s, thank you!
My partner and I are Austin natives and it was important to us to have a local jeweler. I started looking at jewelers in February of 2020, right before the pandemic hit and locked everything down. It was such a shock and caused me some anxiety since I didnt know if I was going to be able to get my lady the ring of her dreams under those conditions. I fessed up to my partner that I had gone ring shopping and she said she wanted to come along, in order to try on rings herself.Ashley from Calvins was so great about everything and so easy to coordinate with. She made us feel safe shopping for rings during the worst of the pandemic. It was one of the only in-person risks we took. I was able to coordinate with Ashley on the sly, have my sister retrieve the ring while I never left the house, go check the mail to get the rings from my sister, and surprise propose to my partner during a Zoom session with her family. She had no idea because I hadnt left her side all day. It was all so perfect, despite the unfortunate circumstances in the world.The shopping experience was great for our wedding bands, too. We just picked them up today and Im so happy that Calvins was able to make the exact custom band I had pictured in my head, complete with an engraving inside, chosen by my partner.Everything was so easy and pleasant. And I really do feel good about having Calvins (and Ashley!) as our (local) family jeweler.
I’ve been in love with my experience at Calvin’s from start to finish! I was helped by Ashley, who went above and beyond and went out of her way to help me. I first bought my fiancé’s engagement ring from Ashley at Calvin’s and the experience and pricing was so great that I had to work with Ashely again for our wedding bands! In addition, I brought in my late beloved father’s wedding band for resizing so I could wear it and they did it for FREE as a courtesy and a thank you. You won’t be disappointed with Ashley at Calvin’s!
Calvins Fine Jewelry was a great experience for a first time diamond buyer like me! Alexandra sat me down and patiently explained all the different types of diamonds I could get and snagged the one that she thought was the best deal for what I was looking for. I bought my engagement ring and wedding band here for my fiancee and havent looked back. Would recommend Calvins and would recommend Alexandra!
Great experience working with Alexandra to buy an engagement ring! She helped us land perfectly in our budget, and we absolutely love the final product. Would highly recommend!
I bought an engagement ring for my now-fiancé from Calvin’s in late 2020. I walked in the store super unsure of what I was doing, but Calvin Jr. walked me through options, factors, pricing, and the variables of a diamond. The whole process was informative and helpful from start to finish. I definitely recommend this store. They’re knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly kind.
You have to go to Calvins if you are looking for something unique or want to design your own jewelry pieces. I worked with Ashley to design my dream necklace and earrings. She walked me through the process and helped me with the design. I picked the pieces up this week and it was exactly what I wanted. You must ask for Ashley. She is so friendly, knowledgeable, and is just as excited as you are. Her communication skills are outstanding. The necklace and earrings are flawless and absolutely amazing. Calvins is the only place I will ever go for any jewelry needs. Thank you to Calvin and his staff. Thank you Ashley for making this experience phenomenal.
I had my wedding band custom-made at Calvins and had such a great experience. Alexandra showed me the different rings they had - and they had a beautiful selection. I chose a ring and wanted to make a few changes, which Calvins easily accommodated. Alexandra even helped me make some last minute changes to the ring after I had already finalized the design. She was so easy to communicate with, and patient while I went back-and-forth on what I wanted.When I came back to pick up the ring, Sinthia helped me and double checked to see that the ring fit properly and that I was 100% happy with it! She was so friendly, and overall the customer service from both Sinthia and Alexandra was top notch.Thank you Calvins for my beautiful wedding band! I will definitely be back!
I purchased jewelry from Calvin’s many year ago, including, about a one carat round diamond pendant, brilliant cut with beautiful sparkle! I decided to remove it from the bezel setting and into a traditional basket with new chain. The exceptional service from 1998 through today still exist! Ashley Woodson assisted in selecting the basket and diamond cut chain and I couldn’t be HAPPIER! She is patient and understands your request! Look no further for all your jewelry purchases or redesigns!
I had a great experience buying an engagement ring and would definitely recommend Calvin’s to anyone on the market. Ashley went above and beyond to understand what I was looking for and patiently guided me through the process. I felt really comfortable throughout and at the end, was confident we had settled on the perfect ring.
Went to Calvin’s to get my fiancé’s engagement ring and Alexandra and the stuff were awesome. Very knowledgeable and were able to do custom work with an older center cut diamond in no time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great experience when ring shopping.
My fiancé and I cannot be happier with Calvin’s and the help Ashley provided in designing the perfect engagement ring. We had a very specific vision and Ashley was incredible in helping find the perfect antique diamond. Ashley was also just lovely to work with and after our first meeting we didn’t want to work with anyone else. So happy we find this local gem!
Ashley went above and beyond! I have had a family ring for a while now and have been hesitant to have it redesigned because i really did not want to lose the integrity of ring or be pushed in a direction I wasnt totally comfortable with. My mother and I worked with Ashley and it could not of been more of a pleasant experience. She really listened to what we wanted while also showing us many possibilities. It could not be happier with the outcome and know my grandmother would be proud!
I cant recommend Calvins enough. If I could give them 10 stars I would! My girlfriend and I started the process of shopping for an engagement ring several months ago with no clue where to start, what to look for in a diamond, etc. We were flying blind. We went to 4 jewelry stores that had great Google reviews (5 stars), but Calvins was the only one that lived up to their reviews. No other jewelers took the time to walk us through what to look for in a diamond, the give-and-take of clarity and color and how it affects price, etc. and all were very nonchalant in their approach to helping us and just didnt seem to care that much. Calvins was totally different. Calvin Jr. (the owners son) helped us through every step of finding the right ring. On our first visit he took over an hour to educate us on everything we needed to know about diamonds and rings. When it became apparent that the ring we wanted wasnt in store or something wed ever find off the shelf, Calvin Jr. walked us through what the process would be like to design and have a ring custom made. I wasnt quite ready to start the process of buying a ring right then and there, and Calvin totally understood, gave me his number, and told me to reach out when I was ready; truly a no pressure situation (which was important for me since it was my first big jewelry purchase). Fast forward about a month and I let Calvin know it was time to get the ball rolling towards finding the right stone for the ring and getting the design ironed out. From there, Calvin set out on a two week long hunt for the right diamond for our dream ring. Once he found it, I gave him the design of what my fiancé wanted in a ring and he turned it into a reality! He went above and beyond to get us exactly what we wanted. The quality of the ring is second to none, Calvin found a stone that fit into my budget perfectly, and I couldnt have asked for a better experience from a jewelry store or engagement ring buying process. Well be back for our wedding bands in a few months, and well never use another jeweler again!**(bonus points for always having beer cold and ready to drink every time I came in)**
Alex was AMAZING in the whole buying process. She was so patient with me and made everything so easy. My fiancé loved the ring and can’t stop smiling, thank you!
Ashley was absolutely wonderful!! I cannot say enough good things about that woman. She made the experience of designing my ring sooo fun! So professional and so personal.
Classy, elegant, sophisticated, unique, and kind.Calvin’s is all of these things and more.They were attentive to my husband’s wishes when he created the ring and then later were very open to mixing wedding bands from other sets to create the ring of my dreams.9 years later they still treat me the same as they did when we bought the ring; they were also attentive and sweet to my 2 year old. I had to get it resized (because babies change your hand size???) two weeks ago and wasn’t able to pick it up until today. They were still attentive, patient, and made sure I was happy to the last detail. We’ll be Calvin’s customers for life.
Ashely was extremely cordial and knowledgeable. She helped me pick out an amazing engagement ring in no time. I highly recommend asking for her for any engagement ring or jewelry needs.
My fiancé and I recently designed and purchased a custom ring at Calvin’s. The staff was wonderful and very knowledgable as they helped us design our perfect ring and stay within our budget. They were more than accommodating with the several changes we made throughout the design process. Marc was responsive and always available to answer any questions or concerns we had throughout the process.
I worked with Alexandra over the course of several months to find the right piece for a twentieth anniversary gift for my wife. She took my description and hunted down a perfect estate ring that my wife loves.
Alexandra, over at Calvins, made the entire engagement ring buying experience a real joy. She took the time to help us understand the basics of shopping for a diamond. She helped my fiance design the perfect ring. Then, she worked directly with me to fit my budget and make my fiances dream come true. I cant thank her enough. Shes earned loyal customers in us!! I highly recommend checking Calvins out and asking for Alexandra.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ashley at Calvins. She found exactly what I was looking for and my engagement ring came out more beautiful than I expected! Ashley is down to earth and listened carefully to my specific situation. I highly recommend Calvins- I am already looking into a necklace there! So I’m already a repeat customer 😉
My girlfriend and I worked with Marc while narrowing down what styles she liked. Marc did an amazing job of helping us synthesize the tons of options available. When I came back on my own to actually purchase, Marc helped me make the perfect decision. My fiancé adores her beautiful ring and Calvin’s Fine Jewelry gave me an amazing price! The quality can’t be beat, particularly for the price! Thanks, Calvin’s and Marc! Y’all made this overwhelming experience easy and meaningful!
Calvin Jr. was an absolute pleasure to work with. I found this jeweler on a whim and am 110% happy with the outcome. Great customer service and communication, and fantastic product. Even the gift wrapping was above and beyond.
We wanted to do something special for our daughter for her MBA graduation from UT McCombs. I immediately thought of Calvins because of past experiences. ( My husband and I got our wedding rings from Calvins many years ago as well as my sons wedding rings.). I had some earrings that were given to me by my grandmother and had lost one of them. I decided to try and replicate the one I had lost and give to my daughter.When I arrived at Calvins, Ashley immediately greeted me and I told her what I wanted. She looked at the earring and told me Calvins could absolutely do this. She said it would take a week for them to come up with the design for the new one and then another couple of weeks to make it.She was so complimentary of the earring and design. She was professional and warm. Made me feel so good about my decision to do this. The earrings were ready before the quoted time and they are absolutely beautiful. You could never tell that one was lost!Thank you Ashley for your warm, caring heart and making this process so easy! My daughter LOVED the earrings and cant wait to wear them! These will be handed down for generations!
Id like to preface this review with the statement that this is a follow-up post. I visited Calvins a couple months back by myself to try on engagement rings. My boyfriend (now fiance) lives in Germany and wanted me to try on rings so he knew what style I liked. I was tentative about going in, but had the most incredible experience with Calvin Jr. The quality of the rings for the price is amazing. I told them Id be back, with my now fiance, in December to buy the ring, and we did just that. We went in on a Tuesday and bought the ring. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. We chose this beauty, and Jackie (Calvins mom) gave us a great discount (to stay within our budget) and told us they could have it to us within a week or so. 1.5 days later Calvin Jr. called himself to tell me they had my ring ready! I have never been so happy with an overall experience, let alone the ring itself. Its my dream ring, but didnt cost an absolute fortune. I cannot say enough good things about the store, the staff, and the jewelry. I will be recommending Calvins to anyone looking for jewelry!
If youre looking to buy an engagement ring, look no further! Calvins Fine Jewelry is a great local business with top notch merchandise and incredible customer service. Calvin Jr. was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive throughout the whole process. Thank you!
We walked in as window shoppers and left as customers, all thanks to Marc! He simplified the entire engagement ring buying process into information new buyers could easily digest and was genuinely transparent, patient, and an all around good dude every step of the way. After a bit of back and forth on the design, we landed on a ring that was well within our budget and the end result seriously exceeded our expectations. She loved it - thanks again, Marc. Cheers!
I am thrilled with my experience at Calvin’s Fine Jewelry! My fiancé bought my custom ring from another jeweler out of state, but unfortunately the ring was a full size too small so the jeweler reached out to Calvin’s to have my ring resized. I was super nervous about resizing my ring because my finger was still swollen from shoving the small ring on my finger, but Calvin and Calvin JR assured me they knew what size it would need to be. The ring fits perfect and they had it done in less than an hour! My fiancé and I will definitely be purchasing our wedding bands from Calvin’s after the amazing customer service we experienced.
I came in to Calvins not knowing anything about rings. My girlfriend now fiancé didnt know much either. Luckily we found this place.Ashley helped my fiancé find a style of ring that she liked, got her sized and everything.When I met Ashley she made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. She was never a car salesmen towards me and never tried to force me to buy a ring right away. She was patient and built a relationship with us which is very important to my fiancé and I.If you want great customer service and salesmen who arent gonna pressure you, this is the place you wanna come to. They also do custom designs.
I’d told chad (my fiance) for a long time that I would wear a plastic ring, because I would have taken anything and didn’t think any real ring would actually truly represent our relationship and the love we have for one another. But I was wrong.. the ring Calvin Jr. at Calvins Fine Jewelry helped him create truly personifies our love - there’s class, a little bit of glam (because I am a bit of a diva) just enough bling, and effortlessly timeless. I haven’t met Calvin Jr. or any of their team yet, but I feel like I have with the way chad talks about him and how warm, helpful, and friendly he was. Chad truly felt like Calvin Jr. were invested in us as a couple and that makes all the difference.We will definitely be recommending Calvins to anyone who will listen & will be going back for years to come.
I worked with Marc to pick out the ring for my recent engagement. Marc did such a great job of keeping the atmosphere light while still preserving the gravity of the moment. He took his time explaining everything about the diamond and process all while making the situation unique to me. I came to Marc after helping a friend of mine do his ring shopping at Calvins earlier in the year. Marc took great care of my friend, took great care of me and will take great care of anyone that is lucky enough to do their ring shopping with him in the future!Thanks!
My fiancé and I are extremely happy with our engagement ring and the process of building it with Ashley at Calvins. From the first time we arrived, the experience was exactly what we wanted. Ashley took us to our private viewing desk to go over the four Cs and different diamond shapes/cuts. When we determined the shape, size, and quality we were looking for within our price range, she arranged to have diamonds delivered from various shops/brokers. We fell in love with the stone of my fiancés choosing immediately! Ashley then helped us design our ring, allowing my fiancé to make edits and suggestions until she had the the exact design and metallurgy she wanted. Calvins then arranged the delivery of my ring out of state for a special proposal, and had it appraised at no cost to us. If you are looking for the ultimate engagement ring experience at a great price, go to Calvins - you will not be disappointed!
We went to Calvins for both my engagement ring and both of our wedding bands. We had such a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in the door. Ashley in particular went above and beyond. She took her time to make us feel comfortable and really listened to what we wanted. She is extremely knowledgable and willing to work within your budget while still finding a way to get you exactly what you are looking for. For wedding bands, we priced a few other jewelers and nothing compared to the quality and pricing of Calvins. I will be recommending Calvins to all of my friends who are looking for jewelry in the future.
I have never felt comfortable walking into a jewelry store until I walked into Calvins. Their staff is truly top-notch. Their pieces are classy and diverse but absolutley nothing tacky and they do not use any pushy sales or up-sell tactics at all. I worked with Ashely on creating a piece I had long-wanted but been too scared to bite the bullet on until I finally made up my mind to do it. Ashley made the process fun and easy and the price was better than I had anticipated! If you are looking for a good experience with knowledgable and friendly staff without any of the BS then is definitely recommend Calvins!
Alexandra was great! Very knowledgeable and helpful, but also didn’t pressure us. She helped us figure out what we wanted.
I dont even know where to begin! We first met Ashley when we were living in Austin, and she made the one face to face interaction of looking so comfortable and easy! She helped us understand everything there was to know about first time ring shopping! We ended up moving back to the midwest but were so happy with our encounter with Ashley and how she helped us find the perfect ring we couldnt go anywhere else to buy! She made buying the perfect engagement ring so easy even from over 700 miles away! She made it feel like I was actually in the store buying the ring by facetiming, texting, calling, and emailing to help the process go as smooth as possible! If you are looking to purchase any type of ring or jewelry, even if it is from miles away, I highly recommend Ashley and the rest of the Calvin family!!
I came with my boyfriend to look for engagement rings and ended up finding something I think I will cherish forever. Calvin Jr. (store owners son) helped us out and made us feel like family! He was very patient and knowledgeable giving me ease as I looked for the perfect ring. Thank you for giving me such a worthwhile experience!
I had been shopping around Austin for an engagement ring. After being less than impressed with what was out there and tired of the cheesy salesman approach, a family friend recommended Calvin’s. I called and made an appointment with Alexandra. My future mother-in-law joined me. From the moment we walked inside, we were treated like family and the selection of jewelry was far from ordinary. Alexandra understood exactly what I was looking for. Every option presented to us was bespoke. I spent weeks shopping around town prior to this appointment. It took me 15 minutes at Calvins to make my purchase. My fiancé was blown away by the ring. Thanks Alexandra!
This is the best Jewelry place in Austin! I spent forever looking for a ring and then I finally found Calvins. They made the process stress free and were patient and respectful. The staff was so helpful and all of their pieces were amazing. Calvin Jr. was especially considerate and is really good at narrowing down what youre looking for at a great price. Would definitely recommend Calvins to everyone and I will be returning in the future.
I spent some time researching jewelry stores in the area and found myself at Calvins after reading several good reviews and having a phone conversation with Sandy. Sandy at Calvins was extremely helpful in the creation of this absolutely gorgeous and perfect engagement ring. I went to the store with a few pictures to show the kind of ring I was searching for and Sandy assisted me in designing exactly what I needed. She also kept me thoroughly informed throughout the design and creation process! I have already been back to Calvins for both Christmas and Valentines Day gifts. Another thanks to Sandy for thinking of me and reaching out to me to let me know there was other jewelry there that I may have interest in. We will definitely be returning to Calvins for our wedding bands, as well. The customer service and attention to detail that Calvins provides is second to none!
My fiancé bought my engagement ring here. It’s absolutely beautiful! We look forward to getting our wedding bands here. Such a beautiful store and wonderful staff.
I cannot say enough great things about Calvin’s and their staff. I brought in old jewelry of my grandmother’s and worked with Ashley to design a one of a kind, beautiful heirloom, I will be able to pass down to my daughters. I can’t wait to work with Ashley again to design my next price of jewelry.
I had a great experience at Calvins Fine Jewelry. From the first time I walked in, the goal was to determine what I was looking for and to educate me in bands, diamonds, the 4 Cs, halos, etc. The store is family-owned and a very relaxing atmosphere. Alex walked me through every step of the process with patience and the desire to share her knowledge with me so I could make the best decision for myself and for my fiance. I knew nothing about diamonds prior to initiating the shopping process and came out with a ring I was very excited about, and my fiance loves. Alex was my point of contact throughout. She was always available and so helpful. Thank you!
Fantastic jeweler in Austin. We moved here a year ago and had to find wedding bands for myself and my husband. We knew we wanted to see styles and pick them out in person so we wanted someone local and used a different jeweler for my engagement ring. We went to several other jewelers and were disappointed with the service, so we were relieved when we met Alex at Calvin’s that was so easy to work with and understood what we wanted. We had a short timeline and they were able to create custom rings in just a few weeks for us. We are so happy with our wedding bands and would recommend Calvin’s to anyone looking for wedding bands or other fine jewelry!
I could not recommend Calvin’s Fine Jewelry more. I brought my engagement ring in to have it re-sized and Calvin Jr. and Cynthia really took the time to figure out what size would be best. They had me try on different sizes and rings to find the perfect fit.They provided amazing communication and were quick and extremely professional with their work. I was able to pick up my ring just hours after I dropped it off— it fits wonderfully and is more shiny than I’ve ever seen it 😎The whole staff at Calvin’s Fine Jewelry went above and beyond my expectations! I will be definitely be using Calvin’s Jewelry in the future.
My GF and i visited Calvins when we first started ring shopping. Calvin Jr. took care of us and very quickly navigated our picky ring preferences to bring this beauty out of the back. We immediately fell in love with this one, but entertained the idea of looking at multiple jewelry stores to keep our options open. After each new store we tried, we always agreed that Calvins was still the one. Even after our first visit, Calvin Jr. continued to keep in simple contact and offered extremely flexible assistance.When i was ready to purchase the ring, they had it sized and re-set by next day, which was done by Calvin Sr. himself. This is very much a family run business, which only sweetens the deal. Summer 2018 was always my intended time to propose, but finding this ring/Calvins has encouraged me to pop the question this November. I cant say enough good things about this place.
I went in to get my ring resized and Alex was so nice and helpful! I definitely shouldve listened to her advice the first time and gotten a smaller size, but when I went in the 2nd time for another resize she was super nice and helped me out again. Would definitely recommend for a purchase and for general jewelry help!
Incredibly helpful and kind staff! Pleasant atmosphere which made asking questions very approachable. Went there for both the engagement ring and wedding band. Both times went smoothly and they were able to custom order whatever we needed with a quick turnaround.Highly recommend checking them out over other jewelry alternatives. Support local Austin stores!
Searching for an engagement ring can be a very stressful process. My boyfriend and I had been to several jewelry shops before he made an appointment at Calvins. Im glad we went to a family-owned local business, it felt more personal. Marc helped us during our appointment and he took all of the stress away so quickly! He called himself a professional enabler and was keen on building my exact dream ring, while staying within my boyfriends budget. Marc was amazing to work with and made the process such a memorable experience. The diamond selection at Calvins is stunning.We custom built the ring and handpicked the diamond in store. We are so excited for the final product! Thank you Marc! I would definitely recommend Calvins to anyone looking for their perfect engagement ring.
Alexandra De Marginy is simply lovely. What exceptional customer service. I highly recommend this outstanding young woman for all of your jewelry needs.
10 stars if that was possible! Calvin Jr helped me throughout the whole process. He was super friendly, patient, and not pushy at all. It was very clear that all he cared about was making sure we got exactly what we wanted. My girlfriend and I are both super indecisive. He sat with us for almost 2 hours one Saturday to talk through all the options we were looking at for the diamond and setting. We checked out another jewelry store and it felt like they were quick to rush us out. They didnt even bother following up after our visit. Calvin constantly checked in with me. and communication was never an issue. He would respond at any time of the day. Overall, it was a great customer and buying experience. HIGHLY recommended.
Calvins was phenomenal in helping me to pick out an engagement ring. I dove into the whole process armed with only a budget and absolutely no idea what I was doing. Marc and the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful, and they helped me to make a great choice that my girlfriend was thrilled with. I will absolutely be working with them when it is time to get my wedding band because I was so satisfied with the process and with the people. They are great, helpful, and empathetic people who will do everything they can to make things right for you. I feel very grateful that they are in Austin!
The team at Calvin’s were everything I needed (and didn’t think I could) find during this crazy time right now. Absolutely the best people I could have hoped to work with.I know it’s a strange period for everybody, but frankly didn’t want to postpone my intentions to propose any longer. I’m so excited about the future with my (now) fiancé and buying a ring was a major step for us.Working with this team, we found a beautiful diamond, customized a truly perfect ring, and did it all without giving away the plot to my SO. Needless to say, all worked out great.Thanks to the Calvin’s team for everything.
I proposed without a ring, because I wanted my fiance to be able to find exactly what she wanted.When we set out to shop, we had a handful of places we wanted to go to. I had 2 key factors in mind; Get her the perfect ring, and her have a great experience.Calvins was the first place we went to and did both!We worked with Calvin Jr. My fiance felt comfortable right away, and he saw her vision. It turned what could be a stressful experience into one that we will remember forever.From a pricing standpoint, we knew we were getting a fair deal based on what we saw. From a quality standpoint, we could not have done better!Im so grateful we started and ended our process here. They cared about what we wanted, took their time in making sure what we got was perfect, and made it enjoyable start to finish.Not only do I recommend, but am willing to say that when she looks down at her finger, forever she will remember the process of buying! So much that she wanted to invite Calvin Jr. to our wedding (I talked her out of it!)P.s. Being greeted with mimosas helps too :)In all seriousness, If you go to Calvins, there is no chance you leave with anything less than an experience youll remember and appreciate forever!
Gorgeous pieces, more than fair pricing, and the personal touch. Calvin’s did everything they could to accommodate my partner and I, and went the extra mile to set the diamond and get the ring to us ASAP. Start at Calvin’s!
Ashley Woodson from Calvins Fine Jewelry went above and beyond to get my surprise diamond setting from one of their designers in California. My husband ordered it and shortly after, the design company closed in Los Angeles due to COVID. However, Ashley kept in constant communication with my husband and had the ring rushed from the designer once they opened. We appreciate Ashley for her diligence and wonderful customer service she provided. My ring is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Ashley and Calvin!
We purchased an anniversary ring at Calvins in 2001. Weve been back for other items many times since then. Weve always received outstanding service from helpful, caring staff. Most recently my wife desired a particular style of gold earring. Other stores showed us only what was on display. Sandy at Calvins took the time to understand what she wanted and searched several sources to find possible matches. She offered to order several examples for our examination. Sandy was most attentive and extremely helpful. With her assistance, we found a couple of great choices. My wife is extremely pleased with the result, and Im very grateful for Sandys excellent service. Weve always been pleased with our purchases at Calvins
Calvin’s Fine Jewelry deserves 10 Stars! Calvin Jr. is awesome - friendly, a great listener, quick to respond, and a fun sense of humor! I went in with a custom design in mind for my engagement ring and, two weeks later, I have the exact ring I was hoping for. Perfect in every way and a great price! I could not have asked for a better experience. :-) Thank you, Thank you!!
What an Amazing experience! I could not be happier with the service and the ring itself. I shopped around for over a month and even put money down on a ring somewhere else before I talked to Calvin Jr and it was night and day difference from all the other places. No pressure they just honestly wanted you to be happy with what you get.Out of all the places I went, Calvin’s was the first place that made me excited about what I was getting. Every other place was nice at first then shifted to wanting you to pick something so they could move on to the next. I explained to Calvin Jr exactly what I wanted, and they found they exact diamond for less than I found online and made the ring with all the very specific request I had. Not that it mattered at the time, but they were also much less expensive than the other rings that only had bits and pieces of what I wanted. I am not a customer for life but so is my fiancé (she said yes).I don’t really write reviews, but this was one case I wanted give credit where it was due. For me this this was a huge purchase and after working with Calvin Jr I have no questions or regrets at all.
My custom ring turned out better than I could have imagined! Alexandra was able to bring my vision to life. I highly recommend Calvins.
I was looking for an engagement ring with really no idea where to start. I decided to give Calvins a chance because I wanted to support a local Austin jewelry store. I went in, had a conversation with Ashley, and I knew immediately that this is where I wanted to buy my engagement ring. Ashley was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to turn my ideas into the perfect engagement ring. She made the entire process feel easy and I left feeling like I was a diamond expert. I would highly recommend Calvins, and specifically, Ashley.
I went to Calvins to purchase my engagement ring in February/March Time frame. I worked with Marc and he is great! He helped me find exactly what girlfriend wanted at the time and it was delivered in the perfect amount of time! Marc is a great guy to work with and I recommend anyone that walks in the store to ask for him. Also, Calvins has unbeatable prices. Went to other jewelers and could not find anything else for the price and quality that I got a Calvins.
My fiancé got my engagement ring here and it’s gorgeous! We designed it with Alexandra and she was so helpful throughout the entire process, she educated us on diamonds and styles etc, showed us tons of options and helped us design our custom ring.
Blown away by the experience I had with Calvins Fine Jewelry on a custom designed engagement ring. Calvin Jr. was incredibly responsive and helpful way above and beyond my expectations. He worked with me through several iterations of a design to get the ring just right. They have set a new standard for customer service in an industry that is greatly lacking in it. We would unequivocally recommend Calvins Fine Jewelry to anyone looking for quality jewelry and amazing service. Thank you!!!
This place is Great! They will make you feel warm and welcomed an treat you like family. If you have be taken advantage of or given a hard time at another jewelry store. Look no further this place will take care of what you need and want. They will give you great advise an knowledge and expertise about all your jewelry needs. And get you the best product possible for your money! It will put a smile on your wifes face she will never be able to wipe off! Thank you Calvin Jr. for all your help and professional customer service!😊 I will be back! And recommend my family an friends😉😆💪👌👊
Everyone my husband and I worked with was very friendly. They listened to what we were looking for and guided us to excellent choices. We will definitely be back.
