Roy John Designer & GoldSmith
Work with Roy John to design a piece that is unique to you. Through drawings, wax molds and conversation you are sure to end up with the piece you had in mind. Roy John resized and repaired a ring passed down to me from my grandmother. He kept the integrity of the piece and finished it sooner than I expected.

I also compared him with other goldsmiths and he was more interested and careful than anyone I took it too. I really appreciated that he respected my grandmother's ring because I took it to another place and the guy actually broke it. I couldn't believe it! Thank you Roy John. Custom Jewelry work is what Roy John is all about.

I didn't dare go in because I knew I would get caught up for several hours adoring these amazing beauties! I was oooo-ing and awww-ing through the window. The artist came to the door and asked if we wanted to come in. Our food order was up next door, which was my saving grace because I'm a πŸ’Ž& -aholic. I said "next time!" I will return and gather better pictures when I'm tooling around DT again. Beautiful work!

Aware of Roy John in the β€˜70’s in the Reed Opera House, though it was 1992 before I had him custom make a ring. He gladly used an existing Diamond and added other stones of my choice. Since then, he’s repaired, replaced and redesigned several pieces of existing jewelry. My wedding rings were wearing thin so he suggested combining them with one larger band, and it worked great. Then, he reset, and polished and prettied up a 70 year old ring for my mother. All my goldsmith work goes to Roy John.

I had a very unfortunate experience here recently. I live in the neighborhood and see this place all the time. Roy has good reviews and I thought this seemed like a place I could trust to restore a piece of jewelry and possibly have a ring made. I had brought some gold materials in I had wanted to recycle and explore repurposing into a new piece. In retrospect perhaps I just should have left immediately because the way I was greeted by him at the door was off putting. He kind of just waved me in like it was a major inconvenience to be speaking with me. Once I entered he began interrogating me about

Great selection of items & helpfully staff. Bit pricier then expected. Definitely higher end jewelery store.

I went to Roy John today, and I could not be more pleased with the quality of craftmenship, service, and most of all artistic vision.
After having another artist create a wedding band design that I was less than satisfied with, I took it to Roy to be sized down. Not only did he size it down but he made other improvements to the sape and texture of the ring that improved the over all look and comfort.
The best thing he did for me, was give me positive memories to associate with something that means so much to me.
Thank You!

I have worked with Roy John and enjoyed his custom jewelry work. His attention to detail is like no other goldsmith I have seen. If you want great prices and great work, go and see Roy John in downtown Salem next to Venti's.
