We always have a great experience at Join Venture. Their service, attention to detail, enthusiasm, and value are unmatched; and the prices are very reasonable. We highly recommend them for estate jewelry of all eras and style, as well as for appraisals.

Just fyi, I’m using my husbands Google account. I found Joint Venture in IG. Donna was so helpful n creating exactly what I wanted. I told her how much this ring meant me and she made it her mission to get me exactly what I wanted. She stayed in contact with me every step of the way. The ring is perfect and I simply can’t say enough about their customer service.

Donna worked with me to recreate a vintage ring that I had thrifted in Spain and then sadly lost. I only had a partial picture of the ring and it had a lot of sentimental value, and I was thrilled with the final result. It's my old ring but better! I highly recommend Donna and her team and will be back!

I love, love, love this jewelry store! They have a variety of beautiful pieces in all price ranges. The best part is the amazing customer service. I have purchased several pieces from here and recommend anyone looking for jewelry to start here first.

Dawna and her husband were very kind and friendly and handled my moms wedding band with great care. She actually talked me into resizing it for myself and I’m so glad. Every time I look at my new ring it reminds me of my mom ❤️

Donna & Lee are terrific to work with! Joint Venture sells new and previously loved jewelry. I have purchased both from them. Great quality. Much more relaxed and less intimidating than some glitzy jewelry stores.

Had a great experience at Joint Venture. Donna and team created a custom ring to match one that my father gave me 20+ years ago.

Joint Venture made my fiancé and I feel comfortable as soon as we walked in the door! They respected our budget and immediately understood my taste when I described what I was looking for. They pulled a beautifully curated selection of vintage rings to choose from and were extremely educational, transparent, and knowledgeable. The family at Joint Venture are delightful to work with and truly experts in their field, and their selection of vintage rings at a variety of price points is unmatched in the area. They were also helpful with resizing and assisting with hypoallergenic options.

A wonderful local business!!! I can’t recommend enough! I first walked into their store over 18 years ago to buy my wife’s engagement ring. Ever since then, Joint Venture has been my go-to place to shop for my wife. Several anniversaries and birthdays later, I’m still going back. Donna and Lee (and their family) have always provided a warm, helpful and welcoming experience. They always have a great selection and are never pressuring. If you’re in the market for something special for your loved one, do yourself a favor and check out their wonderful store that has been a long standing fixture in Cary. You won’t regret it!!

Donna and Lee are fantastic. My fiancé and I brought in my.grandfather’s ring and they helped us redesign it into something that mixed my style with the sentiment of my grandfather’s ring. They did such an amazing job we bought my fiancé’s band there as well. They will give you sound advice and make sure you are completely happy with your purchase. Highly recommend.

I’ve been a customer at Joint Venture for years. I was introduced to Donna and Lee by one of my college friends and now I stop at Joint Venture almost every time I’m in North Carolina. They provide excellent customer service. I fully trust their opinion and Donna knows me well enough to pull all the right pieces for me to try. Over the years I’ve bought everything from everyday staples (for example, a pair of aquamarine earrings I wear regularly) to unusual earrings and necklaces as well as converted brooches to pendants which are now quite practical. On my last trip, I came home with a stunning pair of sapphire and diamond earrings. I appreciate their expertise and will surely be back sometime this year!

Donna and Lee welcomed us to their business and made us feel very comfortable without any pressure or rush. The first day we went to get a ring resized and Lee recommended we add small balls to the inside of the ring as an alternative. Not only did this work without having to cut the ring, it was cheaper as well. He could have easily recommended the more expensive option but instead recommend what was right for us, the customer. When we picked up the ring, Donna informed us about all of the options to purchase our wedding bands without any pressure. She was extremely informative and made us feel like we made the right choice when we found Joint Venture Jewelry. We will be coming back for our rings and I highly recommend this locally owned, family business to anyone in the area. Thank you!

My daughter bought me a beautiful, unique cut aquamarine for Christmas. We visited the store and they were so helpful picking out the perfect band and walked us through all the design steps. The ring is perfect! It was delivered on time and exactly as designed. I will be going back soon to have some jewelry appraised and to design another ring. Love the personality of this store.

The team here made the experience a dream. All I knew was I wanted to find the perfect ring. They walked me through everything else - design, materials, costs, insurance, common pitfalls, appraisal, style, and tips all along the way. They were truly invested in my success and as excited as I was the whole time. They made me much more confident in what I was doing, that she would love it, and even how I would deliver it.At no point did I feel pressured, up sold, ignored, or felt any condescending tones. Perhaps some people are sensitive or insecure and don't want to be told directly what is truth. Unfortunately they will be taken advantage of somewhere else.The negative reviews seem very emotionally based and usually a response to hard-to-swallow pills.My take is they are an honest, hard working, family owned business doing amazing work.This business should be on your list if you are dealing with anything fine-jewelry or gem stones.Full disclosure - my budget to build a ring was 4k. They were less than or equal to other fine jewelers in the area.

In the interest of full transparency, I should disclose that the owners of Joint Venture Jewelry are dear friends of mine. When it was time to buy an engagement ring, there was no one else I’d trust more to guide me through that nerve-racking once-in-a-lifetime process.They asked me all the important questions and listened closely to understand my needs. They encouraged me to take my time as I considered all the options. They offered their honest advice, which included not overspending on a ring. In the end, they crafted the perfect engagement ring (see pics) for my soon-to-be fiance'. They also created beautiful matching necklaces for my future step-daughters.I could easily see how one might instinctively think that I got a great deal and stellar service because of my relationship with the owners. The truth is they had my business no matter what - they didn't have to work for it. As I watched their interactions with other customers in their store - people whose business they actually had to earn - I realized that they treat every customer with the same care and attention they'd give a dear friend.
