The five-star reviews are true, Lee is an absolute delight. I needed to have several pieces of jewelry repaired and though my items were not nearly as fine as the jewelry he offers, Lee thoughtfully and patiently evaluated each item on the spot. I felt like the price of the repairs were a great value and I look forward to working with Lee in the future (hopefully for some new jewelry!). His shop is quiet and peaceful, and he has an excellent selection of tasteful and sophisticated pieces ranging from gems and special-occasion jewelry to stylish and timeless everyday metals. I'm glad to have discovered

Went to Lee for an engagement ring, knowing literally nothing about diamonds or jewelry. He was extremely friendly, and explained things so well and answered so many questions I had. He worked with me to create a truly unique and beautiful piece. He ordered several diamonds of different sizes and quality (at no cost or obligation to me) and showed me each of them under magnification and explained the pros and cons of each stone.
He was NEVER pushy, and always made sure I was comfortable in the direction we were heading. Since that initial visit / purchase, I have gone back for the matching wedding

Lee Dorn was the best experience I've ever had with a jeweler! I called many places, (Zales, Kay, Middleton Jeweler) and none would even take measurements of my ring because we hadn't purchased it there. They essentially hung up on me right after. What a way to instantly lose a customer forever. Lee (I'm guessing) answered the phone and once I explained my situation, told me to come in whenever I could. He measured my ring for me, and was SO friendly and helpful the entire time. After this experience, I will literally never go to a jeweler other than him! 6/5 stars!

If you need a fine jeweler, look no further than Lee Dorn Jewelers. Lee is not only extremely knowledgable about all things fine jewelry (metals, stones, history, style, you name it -- he knows something about it), he also has impeccable taste for craftmanship and quality.
Whether you need a piece cleaned, advice on your jewlery design and/or purchase, or just an honest expert opinion, Lee and his staff will go above and beyond to help. I send all my friends here, and when one day I relocate from Madison, Lee will still be my jeweler. I know many others are also loyal to him despite moving out

Lee does amazing work. He is a great listener; and helped me design the perfect engagement ring that was unique to my fiances preferences. He is a very courteous, kind and professional businessman with a good sense of humor. The entire experience was class-A. I will be returning in the future - no need to look anywhere else for custom jewelry, Lee is the man for all your needs!

My family has been purchasing from Lee for over 20 years! My mom has gone to Lee for her own jewelry needs, and has also gone to Lee for gifts for other family and friends. Lee also assisted in the design and creation of my cousin's GORGEOUS sapphire engagement ring. I am about to make my own purchase from Lee, who has worked with me to stay within my budget and still allow me to get the jewelry that I want. The quality is excellent - by far the BEST quality jewelry you will find in the Madison area. THANK YOU LEE for the best service for the past 23 years.

If you've not met Lee Dorn, then your life is not complete! He is a considerate, charming, affable man. You won't be sold to at Lee Dorn's. You will experience an enlightening conversational exchange and walk away with a smile whether you purchase an item or not. Lee has a variety of gorgeous pieces of jewelry that are all high quality but not over priced. You will get the best deal in town. And because Lee loves to offer significant style, each piece is unique, you won't find another anywhere else.

Lee Dorn Jewelers is the place I go to find exquisitely fashioned, one-of-a-kind rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets. Lee buys from gifted designers who create art with metals and gems, and he describes each piece so knowledgeably. He's also a very gracious host. It is pure pleasure to be in Lee's shop, surrounded by gorgeous treasures so very tastefully displayed!

Lee Dorn was a fantastic experience, from the jewelry to the service. His collection is unique, stylish and elegant. I needed a distinctive piece of jewelry for my wife's 50th birthday, and Lee helped me hit out of the park. Every piece I've purchased from Lee gets oohs and aahs from my wife and her friends. Bravo - a Madison treasure!
