“Exquisite Craftsmanship and Outstanding Service

My experience with Kocek Jeweler was exceptional from start to finish. I worked with Kirkor Kocek to create a rose gold ring for a special opal, and his passion and expertise were evident in every step. He meticulously crafted a wax model, ensuring the final design was perfect. The finished ring is truly a work of art, exceeding all my expectations. The price was very reasonable for the quality of the craftsmanship.

I was so delighted that I immediately commissioned two more pieces: another ring and a pendant. Each piece is beautiful and brings me so much joy. I especially appreciate the intricate detail work on the inside of my white gold ring – a hidden treasure!

Michelle, the office manager, provided invaluable support with her professionalism and helpfulness. I wholeheartedly recommend Kocek Jeweler for anyone seeking exquisite jewelry.”

“Audrey and Fourtane are awesome!

I recently graduated college and wanted to commemorate with a new watch. I was set on Tudor and wanted to explore a few of their offerings in person but Fourtane, the nearest dealer, was a few hours away. Years ago I stepped into Fourtane just to look around and remember feeling rather intimidated so I was hesitant to return (though I never had a poor experience with any of their staff). I decided to first call a few dealers, with the intent of selecting the one with which I had the best experience over the phone.

Fortunately, when I called Fourtane, I spoke with Audrey. Right away, I could sense that she was genuine. She was knowledgeable and happy to answer my questions. Knowing that I would be driving a few hours, she sent me pictures of all the watches in advance, and held them for me until I arrived. The great experience continued once I got there, and I left happy, with a Black Bay 36 on my wrist.

Since then, I have visited a few other non-Tudor dealers but nothing has compared to Fourtane. I really look forward to returning to Audrey and Fourtane for future purchases. Thank you!”

“Mario and Bryan were amazingly helpful. We took an old family ring and put the diamond from it into a new band that the guys developed for us. They explained the history of the cut, the value of the stones and precious metals, the weights and sizes and what design we should move forward with. They explained everything every step of the way and made us feel at ease about such a huge step. We are so happy we went to La renaissance.”

“This place is absolutely fabulous and I highly recommend you come here if you want beautifully crafted, handmade jewelry. Robin is such a kind soul and her work is incredible. She had amazing sterling silver pendants as well as jewelry made with sea glass, gemstones, and shells!”

“A. Harris and Lam (?) were so professional and helpful to me. My husband and I walked in on my 50th bday with 10 min until closing and Miss Harris spent her time with me and showed me several purses which my husband proceeded to purchase. The security guard was also SO very nice and courteous to us. We had an amazing visit to that store. The customer service needs to be recognized for sure! We even received bottles of Perrier and cloth napkins. Not to mention Tiffany colored salt water taffy. I carried my purse in box and bag on the airplane home to Texas where the box and the bag got pretty beat up. When I called and spoke to Lam (unsure of spelling) and explained what had happened to the bag and box, I was sent a new box and bag!!! I am so happy and I do keep my boxes and bags with my high end purses so this meant the world to me! Thank you so much Tiffany & Co. in Carmel!! Yall are the best and we will always stop and shop in your store when vacationing. Our referrals to your store will be endless as well! Heartfelt thanks for sure.”

“A true testament to quality!

Brad recreated my engagement ring that was lost in a fire. It’s difficult to describe how much it means to me, having it back.

Instead, I’d like to express that I never really understood high quality jewelry, until I picked this ring up for the first time. My memory of my old ring is absolutely clear because I spent so much time staring at it and showing it off and playing with it, especially just after the proposal.

Brad captured the design in a stunning tribute. But truth be told, this is much better ring!!! It has to be held and felt, to test the quality. He made a few modifications along the way, which he discussed with me during the design process. But holding it, I realized what a range in quality there really is.

There are jewelry stores that spend all their money on marketing, and then there are places like this, with real integrity behind everything that they do. Don’t settle for something that’s factory made, or tacked together by amateurs. Go and get the real stuff at Weber Goldsmith Gallery!!”

“Unique Estate jewelry displayed in this beautiful shop in the heart of Carmel. The owner, Earl, is a pleasure to talk to and he sure knows his business!!! A great place to shop!”

“Cute little shop that always has amazing and unique clothing. I love going there on my lunch to see what new fun things they have. Love their shoe lines as well. Fun little shop. Always worth the splurge.”

“I met Kerry 31 years ago.Purchased my engagement ring , thanks to my sister who lived in Carmel, lived in San Francisco.Three weeks later purchased my wedding band.I have loved them always.Very exotic for 1991!I will never find another jeweler with the talent and kindness that he provides.”

“Customer service is not dead. Shelly worked with my husband to help him get the perfect gold bracelet for me. When the first one was a couple of links too small, she graciously worked with us to get the exact same bracelet made but the larger size for me. She was upfront and communicated with us as needed. I finally found a local jeweler!”

“My wife & I stopped by Calhounes Jewelry while visiting Carmel he had an amazing selection of fine jewelry and watches. I happened to have a new watch which needed a few links removed and asked Michael if he could do it for me without hesitation he took my watch to the back, removed the links for a perfect fit. The best customer service I experienced while in Carmel and truly appreciated. While I did not make a purchase that day I offered to pay for the sizing but Michael wouldn’t accept payment. Very classy experience. Thanks Michael!”

“Each visit to European Jewelry & Goldsmith in the heart of the Crossroads in Carmel becomes a
memorable experience for us!
