Our Four C's of Diamonds guide can help you decide on the most important factors when shopping for a diamond.

I came to this jeweler because they are local and also close to my favorite shop for ground coffee (Anderson’s). I purchased from them with the expectation that I wouldn’t get my rings before the holiday season was over. (I bought from them on 12/22) and my rings were ready TODAY (12/23)! They showed me a few gorgeous pieces I loved, and ultimately helped me identify the perfect ones! I’ll definitely be coming back if & when I need any new jewelry.

Excellent service, always going above and beyond. Tony has been the one we’ve talked to for all our needs, and he’s never disappointed. He’s always able to get our orders done on tight timelines, and helps us immensely in ensuring we get a piece we’re happy with. I strongly recommend Franzetti’s to everyone.

I’ve been divorced for more than a decade, and decided I wanted to have something made from my engagement diamond for my daughter’s 21st birthday. I took my wedding set to Franzetti’s, and Tony Franzetti helped me look at a number of different options that would suit my daughter well. He helped me decide on a pendant, pick out a setting style, and when I returned to pick out a chain, other staff helped me select the perfect length and style. They were very personable and patient, and the necklace turned out so beautiful, my daughter cried when she opened it. It was a fantastic experience

Amazing small business. Tony was incredibly helpful - we were able to surprise my wife with a new diamond on her engagement ring for our 5 year anniversary. I wasn't able to go to the store in person so Tony pulled together a bunch of information for me and we were able to decide on the right diamond for my wife all through text and phone. We couldn't be happier!!!

I wanted to get a custom wrap done for my fiancé's wedding ring, and Franzetti's made this experience even better! The person I was working with, Bobby, was extremely helpful and nice. We ended up changing the entire wedding ring and it is so beautiful. The custom work is amazing and they are extremely helpful and keep you posted on the progress. I am so happy that I found this place, and I definitely recommend this place.

I took my engagement ring and wedding band to be resized. Franzetti Jewelers was patient with me as I tried to decide on the best size, and even rounded out a different ring and polished it up for me that same day.
They stuck to their estimate as far as a date for picking up my rings went, and even charged me less than originally anticipated. They’re also just really nice people. They are wonderful!

My now fiance bought my ring here and I absolutely loved it! I wasn't with my fiance when he came in to buy my ring, obviously. But, Bobby was the person who made my fiance feel so at ease when making such a big purchase. My fiance knew what he wanted and he didn't rest until he got it, he must've visited/chatted with Bobby about 9 times before finally making his purchase. I had the pleasure of coming in with my fiance to clean my ring and look at wedding bands. This place is great! It's family owned and the family was all there the day I went. The dad even gave us some chocolate

Franzetti Jewelers has a wide selection of pieces from varied collections, as well as offering custom design. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I have used Franzetti Jewelers for over twenty five years. If there is any problem they take care of it immediately. The owners, Cathy and Monte Franzetti, with their two sons, Bobby and Tony, give personal attention and create a very warm and welcoming shopping experience.

Friendly and cheerful service provided when I dropped in at 10 am Saturday morning the minute they opened. I had traveled from out of town for a graduation party and had forgotten to bring earrings. They helped me select a pair to match a necklace and brooch I planned to wear. They had a lovely selection of beautiful & fine quality jewelry at a reasonable price. I left happy!

I experienced an absolutely unacceptable, poor quality repair. This is not a phrase I use (and reminds me of something my grandmother would say), but they should be ashamed of the work they did. It was just that appallingly bad.
I did my research and looked for a place that repaired jewelry, not just watches, and had great reviews. The ring I was having repaired was not at all valuable in the monetary sense but had a lot of sentimental value to me. The ring had a large moonstone in a simple setting and had cracked in 3 places when it slipped from my finger and hit the concrete.

Ok this review should've been posted months ago, but better later than never!! Let me start off by saying this place is aaaaamaaaazing!!!
My now fiancé and I were in disagreement of what kind of ring you could really get with the budget we had chosen. So, in order to prove him wrong (lol), we dedicated an entire day of visiting local jewelers to hear about some prices and options. Franzetti was our first stop.
Located right near Kerbey Lane Cafe on Kerbey Lane (haha!), the parking can seem like a pain, but Franzetti has their own small private lot behind the store.

My son, a rising senior, and I walked into the shop about a half hour before closing looking for solutions for his oversized class ring.
A wonderful woman met us at the door and was not only cordial but so genuine in her interest of my son and me. We also had the opportunity to meet Anthony Franzetti who co-owns the shop and he was just as authentic as she and helped us find a temporary solution for the class ring just in time for senior senior pictures.
While we waited, we had the opportunity to peruse the jewelry in the shop and it is simply beautiful. Clearly the Franzetti family and their

I came in with a request to remove the connector piece of my necklace and they did it in less than five minutes. To say they provide great customer service would be a complete understatement. Some of the most friendly and customer-attentive people I have met to date. Thank you so much.
Highly recommended.
