Taylor Made Jewelry has been "Engaging Couples Since 1991". Let us help you choose the perfect diamond. Our knowledgeable staff will educate you on the 4 C's - Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat-Weight. A natural diamond is made from carbon and is the hardest natural known substance on earth. Natural diamonds are created over a period of one to three billion years, at least 85 miles below the earth's mantle under natural conditions of very high pressure and high temperature.Lab grown diamond is a diamond made of the same material as natural diamonds-pure carbon, crystallized in an isotropic 3D form.
We'll take your ideas and show you styles we have in the store that are similar to help with visualization. We look at the stones you have or choose the stone or stones you want to use in your creation, ie: diamonds or colored stones. We get a minimum deposit of $300 which is applied to the final price of the finished piece.
Keep your jewelry in a fabric-lined jewelry case, or in a box with compartments and dividers. If you prefer to use ordinary boxes, wrap each piece individually in soft tissue paper. See your jeweler at least once a year to have your jewelry checked for loose prongs, worn mountings, and general wear and tear. Visit your jeweler every six months to have your jewelry professionally cleaned.

Came here looking for an engagement ring after doing extensive searching online for ideas and price comparison. Have bought jewelry at the mall stores before but really wanted to at least check Taylor Made as I'd heard their ads for at least the last 20 years or so on local radio. I would never buy jewelry anywhere else again. Tony worked with me first showing me options they had and asking me what I was looking for in a ring.
While they have many options I was looking for something really unique as my now fiance has unique tastes. Tony showed me lots of physical (not catalogue) samples of things that they can order in. These narrowed us down to more of what I was looking for. This is when Tony brought Jim the owner over. Jim started describing what he could build for me using the ideas we had.
We decided on a design and Jim had it built and ready for pickup in less than a week! It turned out so much better than I'd imagined it would. Both Jim and Tony understood my budget and never pushed me to go with things I wasn't comfortable with. In fact the ring came in a bit less than I was planning and so much nicer! There was no pressure at all as I don't think anyone works on commission here.
This place can get you whatever you want or imagine at a price that is within your budget and do it without ever making you uncomfortable. It was so nice to support a local business that has been around for decades. I will always recommend Taylor Made and be a customer for life. Thanks to Tony and Jim!

Wonderful experience in replacing my original 43 year old wedding ring with a new one. No high pressure selling here. Just friendly and professional associates offering great advice. This store has a nice selection of high quality merchandise in all price points. This has been my "go to" jewelry store for years.

My fiance visited Taylor Made in September and bought me the most beautiful engagement ring! Recently I noticed a stone was missing from my ring and gave them a call and they told me to drop it off at my convenience and they would get it fixed up for me! I dropped it off on a Wednesday evening and by Thursday morning they had my stone reset and were giving me a call to pick it up!
Absolutely AMAZING staff and impeccable customer service! I am so thrilled we have found our forever jeweler! I will never step foot into another jewelry store again! Thank you Taylor Made! Can't wait to shop with you in the future!

Taylor Made Jewelry is top notch by far. I've been coming here for a number of years and you can't beat their personalized service. They listen to your needs and go beyond to find the right fit for you in price and of course quality. I never leave disappointed and it's so lovely to have everyone make you feel right at home. Look no further. This is the place. We now drive 2 hours to get customized service. Worth the drive and all of my time. Thank you Taylor Made

I brought a diamond solitaire ring I wasn't wearing into Taylor Made to have it reset. Everyone there was amazing: creative, friendly, knowledgeable, and they designed something gorgeous within my budget. I couldn't be happier with the unique, just-what-I-wanted design. Locally owned and operated, so much better than the big-box, impersonal mall-jewelers. Highly recommend.

This was a great opportunity and had great experience with this place and would recommend anyone to come to this place for any jewelry. I was helped by guy name Adam and he was awesome and is willing to tell you about anything before you buy and give it in great detail. Make you feel comfortable in your buy and doesn't pressure at all.

The entire staff at Taylor Made have always been professional, courteous and to my liking, informative. My wife and I have never felt pressured or directed to purchase an item to satisfy a "commission " of sales. Quite frankly, when we are looking for jewelry, a watch, for gifts or personal use, we shop nowhere else. Weather it be as simple as a watch battery, to repairing valuable jewelry, Jim is who we go to.
