My fiancé and I bought my engagement ring from Larry at La Ron Jewelers. He took us through the whole process from beginning to end and he really earned our trust with his professionalism and experience. He knew that I was eager and was ready to pick the first diamond I saw but he listened carefully to what we wanted and made sure to find the right diamond for us, and even designed it to my liking. I'm and happy to be supporting a small business, and I know where my setting and diamond are from instead of a chain place like Zales or Kay. You know your money is being well spent compared to

My husband brought his ring to be resized at LaRon. He asked specifically if resizing his ring would affect the inscription, and was told it wouldn’t. The inscription was barely traceable when returned, and after a lengthy conversation it would not be reinscribed without a fee. Very upsetting that something that means a lot was handled poorly, and then we have to pay extra to fix his carelessness.
An apology that the ring was polished — not an apology for being incorrectly told that the engraving would not be lost — is unacceptable. A solution would be to re-engrave the ring without an added

I contacted LaRon Jewelers about making my wedding ring smaller. I confirmed on the phone, then in person, that the ring could be resized without cutting or messing with the engraving. I got the ring back in about 10 mins. Sure, it was smaller, but I didn't notice until later that the engraving was so faint it's almost invisible. The resizing completely messed up with engraving. I looked at the ring before I went into the shop and the engraving was perfectly visible. I called up the store and spoke with Bob Thompson, the same guy I dealt with during my visit. He denied any possibility that the

I do not recommend Bob for any resizing or polishing. He ruined the engraving inside my husband's wedding ring, which was very important to both of us. He only offered for us to pay to replace it, after he was assuring the engraving would not be affected. Unbelievable! Sure, we can get it re-engraved somewhere but he was completely careless with something very important to us and would not offer a solution for his own mistake.

My family has been coming to LaRon for years so when it was my turn to get engaged, we knew that my rings (and my fiancés) had to come from them. Bob is THE BEST. I am a psychotic bride and he was so patient with all of my emailing and designs I sent him until we settled on the absolute perfect ring + wedding band. I could not have dreamt up a prettier set, and it is all custom so there isn't one out there that is identical to what I have. He also did my fiancés band and it came out exactly as we had pictured it. BOB IS THE BEST!!!!

Larry is an amazing guy to work with, I did a lot of research and I visited a lot of Diamond stores to design my Wife's 11th Anniversary Diamond Ring, and in the end I returned back to Larry.
He is so trustworthy, and we felt we are dealing with a very good honest friend, when you visit Larry's Store you will feel like home.
The ring came out AMAZING as my wife needed it designed, she fell in love with the ring, the design, the finish, and with the Diamond color and shine. Everything is Beautiful and Amazing.
Definitely I will go back to Larry for the Diamond Band.
I highly highly recommend

My mom has used Larry as her jeweler since before I was born. I worked with Laura to make my wedding band and engagement ring, and I couldn't possibly be happier with them! I wanted something specific and unique, and she was able to make a mock up on the computer based on my description, because I couldn't find any photos similar to what I wanted. The real thing turned out even better! They will be my jeweler forever.

Scared as hell to buy a ring. Walked in 8 months before I was sure and talked to Bob (recommended by a close friend). Bob talked with me as a "newbie" and walked me through the basics. No pressure and told me to come see him when I was ready....which I did and am VERY happy with the outcome. Bob and everyone at La Ron have always been very friendly, attentive, and not pushy. Highly recommend.

The team at La Ron worked with us to create the perfect engagement ring. Larry, Bob and Laura each provided outstanding service in a friendly manner with true expertise in their craft. Their honesty and realistic feedback was greatly appreciated in the design process that featured my fiancee's grandmother's diamond. Highest recommendation for customized design (including a VERY cool 3-D computer program), communication, personalized service and value.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Larry on my engagement ring. As a first timer I was uncertain how the whole process would go. I was referred to Larry by a friend and I am so thankful for it. He made it so easy, seamless really. The rave reviews on Yelp are consistent with my experience. In just the last 24 hours we have received so many compliments on the ring. It's absolutely perfect. We will definitely be going back here to buy our bands. Thank you, Larry, for everything. We couldn't be happier!

Larry was exceptionally helpful with us picking out an engagement ring. The process helped us pick out the ring that was just right for my fiancée' (no pressure, no questions were side-stepped, selection was great). I recommend this jeweler hands down due to the quality, service, attention to detail and overall attentiveness to me ~ the customer! We will definitely become repetitive customer...

I went to La Ron partly because of the reviews on Yelp. I was in a pinch and needed a diamond ring to give my wife for our 25th Anniversary. After explaining what I wanted, they gave me an estimate and told me the ring could be ready in about a week. I told them I needed it in three days. Two days later they called and said the ring was ready for pick up. It was Perfect! It was also abot 10% less expensive than they had estimated. 5 Stars is not enough!

I couldn't have had a better experience than the one I had at La Ron. I needed a ring resized asap and they did it for me same day at a very reasonable price. Really nice staff, too: from the woman who answered the phone to the guy who worked on my ring. If I ever need similar work done again, I'm definitely going back. 6 stars. Thanks!

I was referred to Larry from two friends who were previous customers of LaRon. I think Larry is a very honest and genuine person and a very good jeweler. You can tell that he takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows in the finished product. Larry went out of his way to educate us on the stone we were buying and he tries to make you very comfortable through the entire process. I would go out of my way to refer friends to Larry as I know he will look out for their best interest. In the jewelry business it seems as though you are only as good as your reputation and I feel Larry goes out

I thought I got a great deal on my wife's engagement ring here. I was actually surprised at how good the price was. I paid about $6,500 for a 1.4 ct center stone. HOWEVER, a couple of months later I took the ring in to a different jeweler to have the stone tightened. When I handed it to this jeweler they gave me a blank stare and asked me what this was supposed to be... I was very confused. She pulled out her magnefine glass and told me, "you know this is a CZ." My heart dropped to my stomach. She then pulled out a Gemologist's Diamond Authenticity Tester and sure enough, it

I had to get my engagement ring re-sized so I called a bunch of jewelers and received varying responses from price to timeline. I didn't want to give my ring to a stranger for an extended period of time so I wanted to find a place with same day service. Some places required a turnaround time of 1 week! No thanks! A friend recommended La Ron and I'm so glad she did! They have an on-site goldsmith who could resize the ring in an hour M-F. They're located on Jeweler's Row and provided wonderful service! Ask for Larry or Martha. Highly recommend them!

My fiance and I also got my engagement ring at La Ron. My fiance works with a family friend of the owners but like Xtie, I was a little suspicious about the ghetto sounding name. BUT we were definitely pleasantly suprised. I had a design from Tiffany's that I really wanted. One round diamond in the middle with two pear shaped diamonds on the sides. My fiance and I had visited Tiffany's and was put off by their attitude. I wanted white gold because platinum scratches so easily and I am not gentle with my jewelry. When I asked Tiffany if they had any white gold, they all but mocked

For my engagement ring my husb. went to a "Wabash jeweler" called "La Ron"...I know...sounds totally ghetto, but it's SO not! He went to Cartier, Tiffany...all the "big-named" places knowing (inherently) that I loved the, filigreed, "Tacori"-style, but wanted to make it a little more personal. He brought in a couple of magazine ads, as well as some photos of some relief-work on the redstone 3-flat I had just bought (that he was helping me do rehab on).
