“Super good experience! Highly recommend if you want a slightly more customized engagement ring. They were very accommodating and helpful throughout the process. The only downside is that it took slightly longer than initially anticipated and there was some miscommunication along the way, but everything came out perfect in the end and I would still recommend Knox to others that are looking for a jewelry store that differs from the larger stores across the twin cities.”
“I’m so happy to have found a jewelry store that has beautiful, high quality products. I absolutely love everything I’ve purchased. I’ve been wearing my necklace every day since last year- I shower with it, sleep with it, exercise with it, etc. and it has held up beautifully. LeoDaniels prioritizes customer satisfaction above all else. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience here with Richard. He was very helpful to us while choosing our wedding bands. The process was seamless and efficient. We would highly recommend! Thank you”
“We loved our first visit to Birchbark Books! It's obvious that there is a lot of care put into this store. I love the staff recommendations and highlighting indigenous authors! Staff were very welcoming!”
“Every visit to your store feels like discovering a hidden gem—literally. You’ve built the most diverse jewelry collection west of the Nile, with pieces that span every style, era, and price point. From classic elegance to bold modern designs, there’s truly something here for everyone. I’m always impressed by the quality, creativity, and sheer variety you offer.”
“I thought selling jewelry would be awkward and uncomfortable, but John made it just the opposite. Knowledgeable, friendly and non-judgmental! Not to mention the check! I will definitely go back if I have anything to sell in the future.”
“I love this gift shop!
As a person doesn't know how and what to shop around?They have a great selection of unique items, and the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly.”
“My favorite ring got stuck on my finger and I was certain I’d have to get it cut off. I’d tried everything at home and ended up stopping in to Gittelsons to have it cut off. But they were able to get it off without any trouble and were so kind and helpful about getting it resized. Thank you!”
“Huge thank you to Sylvie for bringing this idea to life! I had an old family ring that I wanted to repurpose and make my own. I ended up chatting with Sylvie on the initial visit and she was amazing to work with. I wanted to take a classic shiny ring and have a hammered texture applied and more of a matte finish. They exceeded all expectations and it came out better than I could’ve imagined. All the work is done in house by their talented team and the service was next level. If you have a ring that you want to repurpose and make your own, these are your folks. Shop local and support their small business!”
“One of the best crystal shops I've EVER been to and I've been to A LOT of shops! The staff are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Don't miss the chance to support this amazing business.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed working with Jason and I can’t stop staring at and admiring my ring- even weeks later! Jason is extremely knowledgeable, talented and creative, as well as just being cool to talk to. He worked with us to create 2 unique and meaningful rings made from a combination of inherited family jewelry. I’ve already recommended him to several other people and would love to work with him again in the future.”
“Stuart and Ellie at Artelle Designs helped me and my fiance design the perfect engagement ring. We had a ton of fun talking about all the options and eventually finalizing our decisions. They have a taste level that goes beyond just jewelry design - the rings and jewelry they make are works of art! The passion they have for their craft is clear.
Their guidance through the jewelry buying process was superb. I didn't feel pressured at any point, and they were great at answering questions about designs, lead time, costing, payment options, insurance, and more.
If you want to find the perfect piece of jewelry while supporting a local business, I 100% recommend checking out Artelle!”
“I heard of this place many years ago, but last year I moved in the area and finally got to experience the store. I mainly come here for the massages - what for my attention at first was the BOGO massage offer. They still offer this deal, but it is limited to new clients only, The store itself has a lot of pottery and home decor from around the world. Most times I go in there for a massage, I end up purchasing either their essential oils, body sprays, or room spray.
Scott has a talent of combining scents well and the best part is they're not overpowering.
I primarily have seen Scott for massages. You can tell he's very experienced and knows what he's doing. He takes direction well and gives the amount of pressure you're looking for. Joshua is very helpful at the checkout and always answers questions I have about the products. Scott has a certain lotion there that helps with sore muscles or arthritis. I forget the name of it, but he let me try it and it really did work. It's a little on the expensive side, but it works marvelously and I plan to get that in the future.”
“I'm so impressed, they did a lovely job sizing up 3.5 sizes while keeping every bit of detail my fiancee adored. This was something the big store weren't confident in their abilities but Jeweler services nailed it.
They even priced better than the big stores, I recommend jeweler services for everyone.”
“Had the best experience. The lady who helped us was so sweet and talkative and made the experience so fun. It’s adorable inside and lots to shop around with as well. Would 10000/100 recommend and return!!”
“We were lucky to find Nick Lundeen and his shop after failing to find an engagement ring at multiple “big box” stores. Nick took on our custom project and he quickly understood the vision. He worked within our tight deadline so I had a beautiful ring in time for our elopement. We would definitely recommend Nick for your next custom project. Thanks again, Nick!”
“The best, most fantastic Jewelery in the Twin Cities/Minnesota. Professional, honest, direct, great personality. It is always a joy to go to Thurston’s. No pressure, just beautiful Jewelery at reasonable prices. Also great for repairs. I won’t buy Jewelery any where else in the World’. I know what I am getting at Thurston’s is genuine at a good price.”
“The selection of men’s jewelry was stylish, high quality, and offered a great range of options from classic pieces to more modern designs. Megan and Gabriella were knowledgeable, helpful, and never made the process feel rushed or pressured. Excellent experience from start to finish.”
“I stumbled across MSP Jewelers during an accidental Google rabbit hole when my partner and I were beginning to drop hints at each other about getting engaged. I can happily say it was one of the best surprise discoveries I've ever made. :)
Ryan and Olivia are two of the nicest, most genuine people you could ever hope to work with on a project. As a wheelchair user, they went above and beyond to make sure their office suite would be accessible to me, even going so far as to offer to meet with me outside the suite when I was having issues with my wheelchair. They worked with me and my partner from start to finish on designing my dream engagement ring with a sapphire center stone. Ryan and Olivia were incredibly responsive every step of the way, happily made adjustments when requested, and met with us several times to make sure the ring was exactly what I wanted.
The end result was stunningly beautiful and perfect! It was also VERY reasonably priced compared to most other custom jewelry options.
As an aside, the original sapphire I’d ordered for my ring off Etsy came chipped and defective. Ryan and Olivia transformed that stone into an absolutely beautiful necklace that I’m now wearing almost daily. 💜
I cannot recommend MSP Jewelers enough for any and all jewelry needs. (And I almost never take the time of day to write a Google review, so that alone should say something!) I am so grateful for Olivia and Ryan’s hard work and dedication, and I cannot wait to continue working with them in the future. 😊”
“Rhinestones Unlimited has excellent customer service. They have an impressive selection of high-quality Austrian rhinestones in many colors and sizes. It's nice that they're local, too. I love shopping at Rhinestones Unlimited.”
“My mom brought me to this boutique because she is a huge fan of Stacey Johnson Jewelry and I wanted some of her earrings. We loved all of the fun and unique items the store has.
I bought some earrings and had a small issue with them when I got home. The boutique worked with Stacey to repair the earrings and then makes them to my home out of state.
The customer service was above and beyond to say the least from our time in the store to out of it. I highly recommend this store and will be making a stop here in my MN trips from now on!”
“Friendly and welcoming staff, and everything on sale is plant based and made with love. They sell delicious chocolates and wonderful little knick knacks of every sort from clothing and stuffed animals to cruelty free hygiene products and purses and wallets. This store is one of my favorite places to visit downtown! Updated from previous review on 2026-06-20”
“I've made several purchases from the online store and besides 1 small hiccup with shipping on my first order, that hiccup being i paid for next day delivery and paid for the additional amount for next day delivery, well it didnt arrive next day so i reached out to the store team and they refunded the amount paid for expidited delivery. Otherwise everything has arrived on time and in decent packaging. The prices do fluctuate from time to time due to the markets but overall I have been extremely satisfied with my purchases. All silver is exactly as described and all of them rounds, fractional and bars have been .999 fine silver as advertised. Will continue doing business with them and hopefully will be able to make an in person visit in the future.
Edit,
Will be going there tomorrow for an in person experience. Can't wait to hopefully meet Evan and shake his hand if he happens to be working tomorrow”
“My husband and I can’t say enough good things about Diamonds Direct and their entire team! Such an incredible group and you can feel they really put their customers first. Johnny custom made all 3 of our rings (my engagement ring, and our wedding bands) and they are absolutely stunning. 10/10 recommend!”
“Love going here and supporting an Indigenous business. They have so many different things from kids toys to star quilts and a huge bead selection. The staff are always super friendly and share where their pieces have come from. Definitely give it a try!”
“This was a find! Funky fun boutique shopping with brands like Baci, Rundholtz , vogues chocolates and I was only in the store for 5 min but found a dress I have been combing the internet to find. They close at 6pm and I recommend getting there with more than 5 min to browse. Super helpful staff.”
“Owner was friendly. The store was full of amazing items from beautiful jewelry and clothing to unique books. Loved the atmosphere and the art pieces on display will definitely come back to buy more some time.”
“Oh good lord, this store is so fun! My first time here. Jewelry of all colors and styles, purses, clothes, etc. Just be careful you don't spend your entire paycheck (the prices are very reasonable, but you might accidentally buy everything because this is such a fun store and I wanted it all)! The lady who was working last week when I was in was super helpful and found so many options for complementary jewelery for my new years eve look. I will be back here numerous times in the future, I'm sure.”
“I contacted Deidre at Rock Paper Silver to have a small name plate made to attach to a Charcuterie board I had made. I had difficulty finding exactly what I needed, so I contacted Deirdre for help. She made some suggestions, and the result was exactly what I needed. It looked fantastic was completed sooner than expected - Deirdre is a very talented artisan !!!”
“The atmosphere of the showroom is relaxed, allowing you to look around without being under pressure. All displays are organized, and the employees are ready to help but do not disturb your shopping process.”
