We worked with Steve Ware to build a custom engagement ring and it turned out beautifully! All of his recommendations turned out to be 100% spot-on and I love my ring so much. Steve is an absolute master of his craft and wonderful to work with. I recommend him to anyone.

Everyone is so helpful and know what they are doing. I took in a bangle handed down from my grandmother and they were able to fix the latch and clean it. Also they are reasonably priced. I will be visiting them again, such a pleasant experience.

Steve and the team are respectful, thoughtful, and very thorough. I came in for a custom piece and they took the time to really understand what I wanted. They crafted a beautiful piece for me and I am beyond happy! Cannot recommend enough!

What an incredibly honest and amazing business. I️ brought in a pearl necklace to be appraised and Steve looked at for a bit then said it wasn't worth the payment of a written appraisal and gave my an approximate value at no charge. He gave me information on how to add it to my insurance policy without a written appraisal. I️ will absolutely be back to this wonderful establishment.

I'll underscore the praises already given in reviews, Steve and his staff meet the criteria for uttermost professionalism and generosity. Over the years I've taken my jewelry to Ware Designs - most of it not overwhelmingly valuable - but each time Steve has provided repair, appraisals and information for care. On a recent visit, he worked studiously on a broken bracelet then handed it back with no charge, accessing any further work would be of no use due to the composition. Servicing with honesty and quality in every instance sets Ware Designs from the others. I won't be going anywhere else.

I have used their services (as well as milners in concord - commonly owned) for sizing and restringing of several necklaces. I just left the store after a quick visit at Trader Joe's - you would have thought I bought new jewelry when they merely cleaned my jewelry. Kind, courteous and encouraged me to return more often - I am a happy camper.

It's rare to come across a jeweler who is talented and honest. Mr. Ware was incredibly kind to me, although I did not purchase anything. He knows what he's doing, and just by speaking to him you can see that he is an honest man trustworthy enough to handle the most exquisite pieces. Next time I want a repair or to purchase in Lafayette, he will have my business. Thank you so much Mr. Ware, you are wonderful.

This small shop in Lafayette recently appraised a large box of mixed jewelry for my mother-in-law. We went in thinking to appraise everything that appeared valuable. The owner saved her hundreds of dollars by making 3 categories: costume; nice but not valuable; and what should be appraised. Finally, she is wearing jewelry she loves but had been worried was 'too valuable' to potentially lose. She also knows what pieces she wants to bequeath and is confident she is being 'fair' to everyone. I highly recommend these people as knowledgeable and honest.
