I have dealt with David Wachler & Sons since 1978, and have consistently enjoyed personable and professional service from at least two generations of the Wachler family. From my very first contact with Jeff Wachler I have been treated fairly and counseled wisely regarding all of my purchases over the last 40 years. I have an extraordinarily high opinion of the Wachler family's integrity, professional competency, and artistic ability, and I strongly recommend them for your important gift, relationship jewelry, or quality watch needs.

I met Buzz Wachler while searching for someone to work with me to make a custom engagement ring. I knew that it was the right fit because I could tell he had pride for his work and that customer service was a priority. He met with me many times (over several months!) and was very insightful, knowledgeable, and accommodating to my difficult schedule.
We looked at several different stones and setting styles to eventually develop an absolutely amazing ring that was customized to our preferences. I really trust his expertise and approach - everything worked out perfectly. I am very grateful for the services here and can't recommend Buzz Wachler and his team more highly.

If I were to sum up David Wachler and Sons in one word it would by CLASSY. Buzz Wachler is who i worked with. He was extremely helpful and kind. His colleagues/employees were also very kind and always treated me with respect. When it comes to their offerings and products, they surpass most. They designed a few pieces for me and they blew it out of the water and they did it expediently while also taking the time to really care about my pieces. Go in and ask for Buzz and he will treat you right. Thanks David Wachler and Sons!

My fiance and I found Wachler's jewelers after trying to work with another local jeweler who unfortunately was never open/ available for us to discuss and move Forward with our ring design and purchase. We were pleasantly surprised by the professionalism, expertise, customer service and quality of work that Buzz Wachler and his team provided to us in our search for the perfect engagement ring.
I ended up drawing a custom designed ring that incorporated features of two different designer rings that I liked. Buzz was able to expertly create a wax prototype of the ring. I didn't see the actual ring until my fiance proposed and I was absolutely floored by how accurately he brought my design to life and how stunningly beautiful the ring was.
The ring design was a mix of modern and vintage styles, with an over 1 carat diamond sitting atop a cathedral style head, surrounded by a soft halo cushion and small brilliant diamonds lining the band and underneath the crown of the cathedral. I honestly cannot say enough about how impressed we and our family and friends were with the ring. It is truly one-of-a-kind craftsmanship.
This ring will be a beautiful symbol of our love and a stunningly special heirloom that we look forward to passing down to our family when the time comes. Thank you so much Buzz and team for your excellent work on this ring. We look forward to working with you again soon on our wedding bands.

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience with David Wachler & Sons. We were lucky enough to work with Buzz, the CEO, and he created a ring that was beyond our wildest expectations - and within a very reasonable budget. On top of that, we got just the right ring for my fiance. Sometimes we imagine that the best value can be had at a chain store, but I can assure you that this is not the case. I now have the ring of my dreams along with the man of my dreams, and we had a great, stress-free experience. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough.

My husband purchased a new wedding ring for me after 10 years of marriage. We went to a few jewelry stores before finding Wachler. The other stores seemed to be judgmental about the price point and did not explain the diamonds and design to us. It was totally different when we went into Wachler. Buzz is excellent to deal with, he truly cares about the craft of design and finding the right ring for you.
He doesn't rush you and is a joy to deal with. He will work with you on price points/budgets. I got my new ring on Saturday and I absolutely love how it turned out. I would highly recommend him. The entire shopping experience from start to finish was a joy.

My girlfriend and I visited many jewelry stores and found great craftsmanship at Wachler. The ring they made us is the most beautiful I've ever seen. We now ordered a second ring. Working with Buzz and the staff has been a great experience and collaboration for such a personal purchase. Update. My second ring is also excellent.

Update a year later: every time I wear that ring now, a diamond falls out. I was told it would cost thousands of dollars to rebuild all of the prongs. It was constructed very poorly & we paid thousands thinking it was coming from a trusted jeweler. No one from Wachler has ever contacted me or followed up on this.

This place and the people are just great! Have gone to them on multiple occasions for jewelry. Wedding, anniversary, birthdays. They were also were able to make a match to a family heirloom single pearl earring on short notice which made a very special and meaningful gift. Located in the heart of downtown Birmingham. Great location and family owned. They have been here for many, many years. They take the time to work with you and can make jewelry just the way you ask.

I am a person who thinks jewelry especially diamonds is a pretty silly concept though I have a wife who likes shiny things. Their work is professional and beautiful. Rather than save a buck and get wedding rings done at a bargain jeweler i had my rings done here. They are fairly priced considering their location, reputation and quality. I can't send my wife for annual ring cleanings and such to some ghetto store in a strip mall.
I have another ring i purchased from a currently out of business retailer and Wachler has done cleanings and resizing for me free of charge. The way i look at it, for a store like this to have a professional staff and keep the lights on there has to be a healthy markup. I'd rather make my very occasional jewelry purchases from a professional store like this than buy off the shelf at Costco.
