My family has used Goldmakers as our family jeweler for over 20 years. The custom workmanship is amazing but so is the sourcing. I can always count on getting completely unique fashion pieces, with the bwckstory, from artists all around the world.

Goldmakers is our absolute go to for all kinds of jewelry! I frequently buy gifts here for others and we’ve had two gorgeous custom pieces made. I get components constantly on the items I wear. Bernie and team are just the best - they are creative, delightful, and so great to work with. Their craftsmanship and dedication to beautiful quality work is second to none. Check this place out for your standard fun jewels or your high end custom pieces! You won’t regret it.

Recommended my brother to Goldmakers for his engagement ring. He lives in Washington, DC and communicated with Bernie remotely about the ring. The communication was thorough and stellar, there were frequent updates about the ring, the price was an amazing deal for the high quality craftsmanship, the ring was shipped from Lawrence, Kansas to Washington, DC and my sister-in-law loved the ring the moment she saw it. Couldn't recommend Goldmakers highly enough!

I’ve been shopping at Goldmakers since the the mid nineties and have to say it just keeps getting better. I truly appreciate that they will fix my vintage jewelry just a happily as they will sell me a new beautiful piece. I love that they source their metals ethically and that they use heirloom/ethical diamonds. Staff are always helpful when I come in and help me find the perfect piece.

Goldmakers recreated my engagement ring that I wrecked 12 years earlier. I hadn’t gotten it fixed because I didn’t have a jeweler I trusted. When I found Goldmakers, it became a must-shop on every trip to Lawrence and I got to know Bernadette and the store's long history. When I needed a gift for my mom -- an heirloom garnet pendant to match the one she had given me from her wedding ring (hers was stolen) -- Bernadette took the time to find a stone that matched exactly, at a price I felt good about. Eventually, I asked her to fix my engagement ring. We met with her and discussed the options. The setting was beyond repair (it was an old estate piece), but they were able to recreate it and replace one of the lost baguettes for what we felt was a reasonable amount. She explained everything thoroughly up front, and the ring was ready before the date she told me to expect it. I won't take my jewelry anywhere else. Not only is Goldmakers trustworthy and dedicated to quality, they have an incredible selection of jewelry that's very unique, especially in the midwest.

We love Goldmaker’s! Bernie designed my custom, channel-set diamond engagement/wedding band (and sourced absolutely gorgeous diamonds for it). The entire staff is lovely - Bernie and Martha help my husband pick out jewelry when he’s looking for a gift, they clean and maintain all of our jewelry, and enthusiastically help with repairs when (rarely) needed. When I inherited my great-grandmother’s wedding ring, I went straight to GM to have it evaluated, repaired, and cleaned. We are always greeted with kindness, consideration, and graciousness. We feel so lucky to have such a top-notch shop right here in Lawrence.

Goldmakers is an eclectic, ethereal wonderland of gorgeous jewelry stewarded by the people who help to make this Lawrence original a destination for quality craftsmanship and thoughtfully sourced, as well as locally designed and forged pieces. 3 generations of my family have enjoyed dreaming, browsing and when we are able...purchasing(!!!) stunning pieces from this beautiful shop. My engagement and wedding band, which are both from my husband's grandmother, were entrusted to be resized by Goldmakers and the work was beautifully done. I can't say enough about the quality of the dozens of pieces my mom & dad, my in-laws, myself & my husband, and my college-aged daughter have purchased from Goldmakers.

Easily my favorite store on Mass street! Goldmakers is a long standing/family owned/local business. They carry a ton of unique pieces in different price ranges and they support a TON of small businesses and makers. The service is above and beyond. I bought Alexis Bittar studs there years ago and the post fell out. After multiple tries to fix it and reaching out to several different outlets I was unable to get it fixed. I finally reached out to Goldmakers and Bernie was able to contact them in Brooklyn and have it sent in and fixed for me, it didn't matter that I had bought them years before! I still have them and wear them constantly. Not only is the jewelry they carry gorgeous but they also make entire lines IN HOUSE. The in house pieces are to die for. It's a Mass Street staple and my first stop when I go back to visit. Even if you aren't in the market for jewelry go check out their stunning window displays!

This is one of my favorite small businesses in the country. I’m so fortunate to live nearby. The customer service is outstanding. Their designs are classy, but also cool and immediately striking. They carry all the good stuff, and also stuff you won’t see anywhere else. I buy gifts for family and friends here. I buy statement pieces for special events here. I come here to treat myself. I absolutely love this store, the owner, the jewelers, and the people who work there. Literal gem!!!

Goldmakers is a Lawrence treasure! Customer service was so kind to me when I came in with a precious family heirloom that had seen better days - they cleaned it for free on the spot with incredible care. I've since purchased multiple necklaces from them and they have all held up beautifully. The Lawrence community is lucky to have an establishment like Goldmakers.

I have nothing but the best to say about Goldmakers, its owner and its lovely staff. They have helped me in creating unique gifts for my nieces, resetting sentimental earrings and overall establishing a welcoming atmosphere for anyone who walks through their doors. I recommend Goldmakers to anyone looking to create (or find) something unique and memorable or even if you're not looking!

I absolutely LOVE Goldmakers! Every piece I’ve purchased from them has been so special and beautiful. The quality of their work is tops and their customer service is even beyond that, if possible. They are the most helpful and responsive retailer I’ve ever encountered. That’s not even an exaggeration! Everyone should support this small business with big heart and great quality work!

Goldmakers is my favorite. It’s been over 15 years since lived in Lawrence, KS and Goldmakers is still my favorite!They carry a host of amazing designers and also have a wonderful selection of in-house creations. And they do amazing repair work! I recently had my engagement ring, a Goldmakers original, repaired and I was amazed at how inexpensive and easy the process was! If it’s possible, the ring looks better than when I first got it.
