We came in looking for a gold chain for an old charm and Michael and Mary took the time to make sure we got what we wanted. They patiently worked out what we wanted / needed and made a tedious chore enjoyable with pleasant conversation. A lot of the pieces were on the showy side, but they were all very beautiful. I'd definitely recommend coming in for your jewelry needs.

Went here looking for rose gold rings for our wedding anniversary.... waste of time. I’m used to getting judged by my appearance, but there’s a lesson when meeting someone covered in tattoos.... they typically have money to spend. After being ignored in the shop, we left. We ended up getting custom rings made at Blue Stone Jewelry with exactly what we wanted. The ladies who work there/own it were so welcoming and helpful and sweet. Sorry, but the customer service here sucks. I’d suggest going somewhere else unless you “look wealthy”.

There are some crafts where perfectionism is expected; neurosurgeon, hair stylist, and, yes, your custom jeweler. Michael Grant, the owner of Steve Schmier's Jewelry is absolutely a perfectionist - and a master of his craft. He's a talented, creative designer and I'd give 10 stars if I could.
I had a ring that was my mother's. My mom was my best friend and we purchased a topaz ring together on what , sadly, would become our final mother-daughter annual trip, before she died of cancer at 55. This ring was invaluable, but only in sentimental value. For years, I wanted to have it redesigned into

I had a great experience working with Michael. He was able to do a major repair on my wedding ring, not only in a timely manner, but to a very successful result. I would recommend him for any jewelry repair. His shop has beautiful jewelry, much of it is his own designs.

This place is utterly fantastic and what makes it so amazing is Mike and Susan!! We had just gotten engaged at Lake Tahoe and the ring was one size too big and we couldn't find any other place that was open so we decided to call Steve Schmier's Jewelry to resize it and they got us in the same day. We came back the next day to pick up the engagement ring and it was still a little too big but they were more than happy to resize it again. Mike showed us an in-depth process on how ring resizing works and it was very exciting to hear about it. Susan and Mike both made us feel very comfortable and it

I was recently passed down a family heirloom ring that was made at Steve Schmiers Jewelry in 1990 for my great grandmother. I was thinking about changing the setting but after talking to a few jewelers, I changed my mind knowing this was worth more than what I was being told and I truly loved the ring as is anyway. Mike Grant at Steve Schmiers was able to find the original appraisal for us dating back to 1990 in his hard copy archives and he did it within a day! It just so happens Mike was the same person that helped my great grandmother design it. We were blown away with the customer service and

Great experience with Jeanie and Michael. Great quality and design. Can’t wait to find my next piece here. “Just try it on, she said”. Then I couldn’t take the ring off. The jeweler, Michael, is very knowledgeable.

Mike created a beautiful and unique owl necklace which my husband gave to me for my anniversary. His work is creative and superior.
