I has an awesome experience at Carreras Jewelers! My jeweler, Amy, was knowledgeable, engaging, accommodating, pleasant, enthusiastic and very helpful. She made my experience a joy - over the phone and in-person. I am very pleased with my merchandise. I'm sure that I will be returning! Thank you, Amy, it was a pleasure meeting and working with you.

I came to Carrera’s to have my heirloom engagement ring resized and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Sally took extra care to make sure the ring was secure after decades of wear and went the extra mile to make sure it was sized, polished, and ready for me to pickup before Thanksgiving. She understood that the whole family would value seeing the ring at our Thanksgiving table! Truly, the staff at Carrera’s don’t simply specialize in jewelry. They specialize in making the biggest events in their client’s lives all the more special. I’m so grateful for their expertise and enthusiasm

The service at Carreras Jewelers is second to none. In my case the most recent piece was the wrong size so they kindly special ordered me a smaller version of the same bracelet for my wife.

Shopping at Carreras was an incredible experience. There was no pushy sales tactics or pressure to buy, they worked with your needs, budget, and timeline to give you the best experience possible. I would recommend all my friends to stop by and see for them selves how lovely Carreras experience really is.

Many thanks to Amy (jewelry designer) and to Sally. They helped me turn my grandmother’s beautiful watch into earring charms I will enjoy even more. These are before and after pictures.

I am very happy with the service I received, and the engagement ring I purchased, at Carreras. My fiance and I went to the store together to pick out an engagement ring for her and they were very helpful in helping us explore different options and consider possibilities without any pressure. We worked with a sales associate named Louise who was very nice, chill, and knowledgeable. Having been to a few jewelery stores in this process, I can say I am glad that we found something perfect at Carreras because the place had the best vibes of all that we went to.

Laura could not have done more to help me repair and redesign an antique ring that I hold dear. Due to her professionalism, friendliness, and patience, I am able to wear it for many years to come. A stellar experience

I'm from Staunton,VA. My mom always used Lang's but it closed down. I did a lot of research and Carrera's is like the sister company. I've been there multiple times. Purchased some awesome items. I will ALWAYS… go here. They are caring and trusting. P.S- I saw my mom over Christmas and I brought 2 rings for Carrera's to get estimates/fixing. 5 STARS 🌟FOR ME
