My fiance bought an engagement ring from Calvin's months before he proposed, then it was months again before we went back in to look for wedding bands.

Laura at Calvin's helped make our Halloween engagement headache free and very enjoyable.

Great place to go for engagement rings and wedding bands. My fiance purchased my engagement ring from here and I'm so glad he did!

If you are looking for a jewelry store that is unique and with the most friendly staff then look no farther than Calvins!

They were so helpful before and after the purchase. I wasnt sure my girlfrie...

Beautiful selection and truly wonderful customer service!
My fiance and I went into Calvin's to see if they could reset my Grandmother's wedding band for me to use as my wedding band. Katherine Rudd was an absolute dream to work with. She spent hours with us over the course of several visits, and even after my custom ring was made, she encouraged us to make small adjustments to it to make it even more beautiful. When it was time to choose my fiance's we...

Calvin's not only won my immediate business--but my business for years to come.
My fiancee and I went to about 20 jewelry stores trying to find one that we trusted and didn't feel was trying to give us the pressured upsale. We found Calvin's and our search was over. Katherine Rudd was a dream to work with. She really took care of us and listened to what we wanted. We had to go back several times to find the right rings, but she worked with us happily every time. She brough...

Awesome Service
My husband and I picked out my anniversary ring from Calvin's 8 years ago. I still get compliments on it where ever I go. "It's lovely! Where did you find it"? is most often asked. I tell them, hands down, Calvin's has the best selection of unique designer jewelry in Austin. Their buyer has a real knack for choosing the best designers and the most beautiful pieces that I have ever seen and i...

Very Professional and Friendly
After being beat up by car salesmen posing as diamond pushers at 2 local malls, my (now fiance) and I went to Calvin's, remembering that my sister had purchased her wedding ring there. To say that we were disgruntled before we walked in would be an understatement. Our salesperson Jackie greeted us warmly and asked us what we were looking for. At no time did we feel pressured or uncomfortable. ...

You'll never want to go anywhere else but Calvin's!
After my fiance and I went to the malls to go ring shopping we were in a generally bad mood and disheartened by ring shopping and the rabid sales people at every jewelry store we walked into. On the way home that day we randomly decided to stop by Calvin's just to see what they had. Greeted with friendliness, smiles and a refreshment we have a grand time browsing and thoroughly enjoyed spending t...

Gorgeous Selection
My fiance and I went to Calvin's a few months back. The staff was very welcoming even though we looked like poor undergrads. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have both Michael B. and Vera Wang pieces. Stellar!!!! We will definitely be buying our rings here!

Great purchase experience, Post Sale treatment could improve
Calvin's has a wonderful selection of jewelry. Each time I went in to browse I found the service to be very friendly and courteous. The sales ppl were helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend Calvin's to anyone looking for unique, quality and beautiful pieces. My only complaint was after I purchased my jewelry I found that the service deteriorated somewhat. There was no follow-up call as...

Great unique collections of engagement rings with awesome customer service
After recovering from engagement ring sticker shock I proceeded to visit every jewelery shop I came across for the next 8 months. Every ring started to look the same and I was no closer to finding anything like my future finance described with the help of not so subtle magazine clippings. The pressure of finding a beautiful unique ring at a price Donald Trump wouldn't choke on seemed far fetch...

Fantastic customer service, breath-taking selection, knowledgeable staff, and NO PRESSURE
My fiance and I went to Calvin's because I had admired the engagement ring that might friend had gotten from there. We didn't have a clue about engagement rings before we went in, and my fiance was actually a little nervous. We were greeted by Calvin's sister, Kathy, who was so friendly, relaxed, and the opposite of pushy. She told us to take the time we needed to look around and get an idea of w...

EXCEPTIONAL customer service and quality
Recently married (7 months ago), I am compelled to write about my (now) husband's and my experience at Calvin's. We are not a wealthy, or even well off couple and so finding a wedding ring for me was somewhat stressful. Based on Calvin's commercials, I thought that we couldn't afford to walk in the door much less afford any jewelry there. Not one, but two of my best girlfriends have recei...

can't be beat - wonderful experience
I came back here after getting an engagement ring for my fiance to get myself a wedding band. We were treated to great customer service and mimosas. They go above and beyond the norm in service (even offered to repolish my fiance's ring without us even asking). I always leave the place feeling satisfied, knowing this was the best place i could buy jewelry in Austin.

Truely the best experience I've had yet.
I've been looking for an engagement ring for weeks, and it had left me tired, confused and frustrated. I went to Calvin's with the idea that I might have to spend quite a bit of money (mainly from reading some of the reviews about the beautiful designer jewelry). On the contrary, I was greeted by a kind and helpful sales associate who helped me find a beautiful ring for much less that what I was ...

Very unorganized, and lack of customer service
Much to my suprise I was not happy with the customer service that I received from Calvin's, considering all the good things I had heard from their other customers. The person that helped me told me that she was not a salesperson and was "just helping out on the floor", and I was pleasantly surprised because I did not want to be pushed into buying something. But then when I had questions and see...

Best Diamond Deal in Austin
Calvin's has a great selection of diamonds and will get whatever you like in based on your expectations. Which I really enjoyed so that I did not have to worry about a sales person trying to sale you what they want not what you want. I will recommend all of my friends to Calvins.

ONE stop shopping
My fiancee, Doug, and i needed a ring. I knew exactly what i wanted and was afraid that I was not going to be able to find it already made. I just knew I was going to have to make a custom piece. We decided to go to Calvin's Jewelers first because we had heard so many good things from people we had asked. We walked into the door and began brousing. No one hounded us or made us feel like we was be...

Best selection and prices!!!!! I have been in several different Jewelry stores in Austin and Calvin's by far has the best selection and friendliest staff in town. There is a Graduate Gemologist on staff and Calvin himself sets the diamonds and also if you looking to do custom Katherine is very patient and professional.

Awesome Experience
Several years ago I lost my wedding band on a family vacation. We researched jewelers in the Austin area and all seemed to carry pieces that were dated or ordinary. I was getting discouraged. We had several people recommend Calvins to us so we decided to give them a try. I was very impressed with the fine selection of beautiful tasteful (and unique) rings and other jewelry and the assortment o...

I bought both a engagement setting, diamond, and a diamond bracelet in 2000. My wife wears the bracelet daily and has lost a diamond in 2002, broke the clasp in 2004, and recently broke another clasp. As I said, she never takes it off! Calvin has replaced the diamond and fixed the clasp twice at no charge. His customer service is the best. THat is why I will buy from him and the saleperson K...

One word to describe Calvin's: AWESOME
We got my wedding jewlery at Calvin's and they are the best in customer service, quality and experience. When we were shopping around, we found that other places did not pay as much attention to us and tried to sell me on a style of diamond that I was not interested in. Calvin's had the style and size I wanted for my e-ring. Even though I have had my e-ring for over a year now, I go bac...

Pushy & Rude
I'm in college and looking for an engagement ring. I was hoping to find someone who would help me. The salesperson I spoke with was very pushy and not the least bit helpful. I went back 2 or 3 times for the benefit of my girlfriend, but each time was pressured by the sales staff. They would not show me a setting less than $1k. When I mentioned buying a certified diamond over the internet, the...

Beautiful but pricey
Of all the places I've looked, Calvin's had one of the best selections of ring settings I've seen. However, I ended up finding one nearly identical at another shop for half of the price (leaving more $$ to spend on the stone)! I also didn't feel as comfortable with the staff as I have at other shops.

Many thanks for the help
I stopped in Calvin's on a busy Saturday afternoon for some repair work. Calvin would not hear of me leaving my ring, but insisted on repairing it immediately. Rarely have I had service like that, and certainly not at any other jeweler here in town that I've visited. Many thanks and I highly recommend Calvin's for the pleasant service and atmosphere.

They also changed his watch battery for free...go figure!
