Allison Kaufman Allison-Kaufman Company, in business since 1920, is one of the oldest and most respected diamond jewelry manufacturers in the United States. Our family owned business has had a commitment to manufacturing the best in fine diamond jewelry for nearly a century. Our quality and workmanship is unsurpassed and our styling is legendary.
Before knowing anything about jewelry, purchasing that special something can be intimidating. That's why we're here: to educate you about the value of the fine jewelry. Aside from the value of design, it is very often that rarity determines a piece's natural value. Let the jewelry experts at H.L. Lang & Co teach you about the four Cs of diamonds, the colorful world of gemstones, how the price of gold affects the market, and everything in between.
The word carat derives from the word carob, a Mediterranean seed, which has an extremely consistent weight for measuring. The greater the carat weight, the rarer, and more valuable the diamond becomes. Five metric carats weighs exactly 1 gram. Some people want the largest diamond possible.
If size is a priority, we at H.L. Lang & Co can help you classify the proper cut, color and clarity to fit your budget economically, and fit your jewelry beautifully.Many of our engagement rings can fit diamonds up to 5.00 carats, but each ring has different size constraints based on its size and the type of setting.

Some people want to buy the biggest diamond possible. Is this always the right choice? The larger the diamond, chances are the more inclusions it likely has, and because it's larger, these inclusions are typically even more visible than on a smaller diamond. But most importantly, if the diamond cut isn't proportioned correctly, it won't return the maximum amount of light through the top of the diamond.
While our jewelry was created to last a lifetime, there are some factors that can contribute to the everyday wear and tear of your fine jewelry. Because of the high value and rarity of certain jewelry, some people like to store their jewelry in a safe when not in use. If you have individual gemstones, a soft pouch is good for keeping them from coming in contact with other hard surfaces.

I love this store. I randomly walked into the store and saw the ring below and fell in love. I never had a wedding or ‘proper’ engagement. The staff were so nice and enthusiastic with me. They were kind enough to let my hubby and I pay on the ring gradually, interest free in house. When we paid the ring off, we got this awesome bottle of champagne from them. And they were so warm and supportive. I love Katie and the other staff. Glad I found a ring just for me, and supported a local business. ❤️❤️

Went to Lang’s Jewelers this afternoon…found a big OPEN sign on the door but the door was locked. The web site stated the store was open from 12:00 to 4:00 on Sundays but the store was closed. How hard is it to change your website to reflect your correct hours of operation?
I made a special trip into town just to look at their jewelry and get a ring ordered. It is hard to support local businesses when they don’t care enough to keep the public informed of their hours!

Visiting Lang today was like visiting a dear, old friend. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The customer service was amazing for 2021. It was like stepping back to the time where helping the customer was not a duty but a privilege. Katie was not only helpful but kind and thoughtful. It was truly a lovely experience.

Lang's has been closed most times I love been downtown but was open today.
The gals inside were friendly and they have a fair amount of engagement bands and rings as well as Diamond and more affordably-priced jewelry inside.
It's small, but does the job. I saw a very pretty Diamond necklace for a fair price.

I am always treated so well when I walk into H L Lang & Co. I had three rings needing repair last month and Jacque was fantastic as she engaged with me and paid attention to every detail of the rings. Today, when I went to purchase jewelry she was incredibly helpful pointing me to an assortment of jewelry in my budget. She even offered to clean my engagement ring while I perused the beautiful pieces. The customer service is impeccable and they have pieces for every taste!

My heart is full, and sad all at the same time. My Dad passed in January 2017 and I miss him everyday! I went to Katie with an idea to have his thumb print hand engraved on a signet. I wanted his initials inside and the dates of his wonderful life. I later added his four initials on top of the print. Here we are two years later and it has come to fruition. Thank you Katie for giving me a part of my Dad I can wear everyday! This is priceless!!!

This place has it all. Oldest continuous business in STaunton . But selection is everything you'd find in a big city and more. Excellent mix of styles and prices -- which by the way, are excellent (as a comparison jewelry shopper I can tell you). The friendliness is unparalleled. They will work with you on whatever you have in mind, even offering layaway.
