My now wife and I worked with Jen to create our wedding sets (two engagement rings, two bands) last year. We wanted Montana sapphire rings in a specific color that showed our distinct preferences while still clearly coordinating. Jen and the entire New Gild team were phenomenal through the entire process, from sourcing stones to design to altering the design and executing the rings. We gave an approximate budget at the beginning (knowing we might go over) and got exactly what we wanted, all in budget. When our rings were too big, she suggested adding gold balls to the inside, and they fit perfectly now. We are so happy with our rings and we love New Gild!

I had a new stone to set in an old ring. The workmanship and service were both absolutely impeccable. I am pretty picky and the work is simply flawless. Kelsey and team were so friendly and made me feel so cared for and welcome. I definitely recommend this jeweler and would use them again in a heartbeat!

My fiancé chose New Gild Jewelers to take on the custom engagement ring he had in mind, and I cannot say enough good things about the result! The craftsmanship on the ring itself is beautiful and they did an absolutely amazing job incorporating the diamond from his grandmother's original wedding ring. This piece is something I know I will cherish for decades to come and it would not have been possible without the amazing artists and workers at New Gild. Special thanks to Jen for all her hard work and help in making this ring a reality. Thank you New Gild team!

My engagement ring is from an out-of-state designer and the setting/stone was slightly loose. I called around to see who might be able to tighten it for me and New Gild said they could! I brought it in on a Friday afternoon and the jeweler tightened it while I waited within 5 minutes - they also polished my ring for me - it was just sparkling! - and didn't charge me for the visit. Will be visiting again for future jewelry needs!

I bought some earrings off Etsy that were unwearable as received. The folks at New Gild fixed them up perfectly for me at a very reasonable price. In fact, the most notable thing was just how nice the folks were there, because really, they weren't making any significant money off me, but they were not only very attentive to doing a good job, but they were also super friendly in the process. I had my 6-year-old with me, and she's obsessed with rocks, and one of the folks working even took the time to tell her all about the different cool rocks in the display cases (without seeming annoyed at her fingerprints getting on the glass).All that to say, they seem like genuinely decent people, so if you care *who* you're supporting with your business, I really recommend heading over there. Oh, and the jewelry I looked at while waiting was gorgeous, too.

My daughter and I went in to create a unique necklace as a 16th birthday gift for her. We were taken care of with a lot of care and interest, and were treated very well. I can’t recommend New Gild enough, truly professional and high quality work! They helped make a very special memory for us! Thank you so much New Gild!

When I walked in and met Jen (at a different shop) back in 2015, my "design idea" was nothing more than: hey, I have this agate that my fiancée and I picked up on the North Shore, could you split it in half and make it into two rings for me and my lady? I thought it was kind of cute, but Jen turned it into something extraordinary. She had me bring in pictures and we talked about my wife's interests and personality. A little touchy-feely, maybe, but the end design was worth it. She incorporated into the ring the twine wrapping of "zongzi", a hometown food my wife likes to cook, as well as some kind of texturing (I forgot what it's called) that brings out a traditional / classic feel -- which works with her "old soul" view of life.The point of all this is not to talk about the design of our rings in particular, but about Jen's design process. It was very effective, and Jen was astonishingly sensitive and perceptive about the details that would make a successful design.On top of that, a few years later we had trouble with the agate in my ring beginning to fracture. Kelsey worked magic with a special epoxy and fixed it up better than new.If I could give 6 stars I would.

Wonder owners and staff. Helped me sort and sell my late wife's jewelry with compassion and professionalism. At one point the entire staff was working on my jewelry. Very good people who deserve your commerce.

New Gild Jewelers made it possible to recreate a ring that was lost after 35 years! AT heart New Gild Jewelers brings a Renaissance to jewelry crafting. If you don’t see what you would like, I am confident they can create for you your own special piece of jewelry! Charles

The energy and sparkle is palpable when you walk into New Gild on the cozy corner at 43rd and Upton in Linden Hills. New Gild has a joyful Santa's Workshop feel to it as co-owners, Jenifer and designer/master jeweler Kelsey, and several 'elves' are busily working their craft. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed!

I am probably one of the most meticulous and neurotic people out there. I am routinely told that I am stubbornly passionate about getting things exactly as I want them. I came into New Gild with a vision and a challenge. I asked Jen to create something for me that to my knowledge has never been done before. She did not disappoint. We went back and forth making sure to give me her knowledge as a professional in designing the engagement ring for my wife. While also being able to treat me with respect when I rejected many rings she brought to my attention. Always striving to work within my budget, she was able to make my dreams a reality. So much so that when it came to the bands I knew that she was the only one who would do them justice. From now until the end of time I will always have my jewelry crafted here. So much talent and professionalism you rarely see.

This is an absolutely wonderful establishment in downtown Linden Hills. Jen and the team at New Gild are creative, gracious, highly responsive, and wonderful to work with and we've had two great experiences there. Their pieces are one of a kind and they are known for working with you to co-create something special. They also support the local community. Highly recommend!

I popped into New Gild for a necklace repair and Jen suggested replacing the chain may be more cost effective. It was! Super quick and whole team was very friendly! Highly recommend.
