John W. Anderson, grandfather of today's owners, established Anderson's Jewelers in 1947. Right after the end of WW II, at a time when the price of an average house was $6,000, a loaf of bread 13 cents, gas 15 cents per gallon, and the Big Band sound was in full swing, John was inspired to live the American Dream of owning his own business. With watch making skills he honed at the Waltham Watch Co., plus experience working at Peterson's Jewelers in Needham, along with a $500 loan from his sister-in-law, he struck out on his own in Wellesley, where he founded Anderson's Jewelers.

I purchased a beautiful ring from Anderson's Jewelers after seeing it on their Instagram feed. The online communication was friendly and responsive and the payment was quick and easy. The ring arrived in perfect condition 2 days later, sparkling and beautiful. I am beyond thrilled! Would hands down purchase from Anderson's again and I hope next time I'm in Massachusetts I will be able to visit in person.

I can't say enough about Anderson's Jewelers. I'd gone in at end of day, they were actually closed, but still let me come in. They polished my rings and gave me a free cleaning cloth and jewelry cleaner just because they are that nice. I'm always blown away with their service and products. You couldn't ask for a more friendly, affordable, dependable local jewelry store. I don't usually write reviews, but this store deserves all the credit for being the best around.

So glad I stopped in- it's a great family owned jeweler! The staff is so friendly and attentive, I had a great experience there this afternoon. It's also worth noting that they're COVID friendly (masks worn by everyone in the shop and proper social distancing in effect) and made me as a customer feel much safer.

I highly recommend Anderson's Jewelers - I love this place! I have been going to Anderson's for as long as I can remember to get my jewelry repaired, cleaned, and to shop. I always have such a wonderful experience there, as everyone is so kind and attentive! I recently went in and everyone was wearing their masks, and made me feel super safe.
As a family-run business they are making every effort to be open and accessible during COVID. I commend them not only for being open at this time, but also for still maintaining their same approach and standards to customer service as they have done for decades. Needless to say Anderson's is by far the #1 Jewelry Store in Wellesley. I have and will continue to tell my friends to come here!

I had the greatest experience here this morning. I had a silver spoon ring stuck on my middle finger and it was painfully stuck. I was about to go to the emergency room but gave them a call and they said they could take care of it. After a combination of pliers, cutters and some grit the ring came right off. They saved the day, as I was supposed to head to the airport later today and could not risk traveling like this. They did this free of charge, which I could not believe and they said they would fix the ring as well! Awesome service. Great people.

Terrible customer service. Walked in today looking for something specific. I asked a saleswoman where I would find what I was looking for. She pointed in the direction of where I should look. She never walked over. Never asked me if I would like to look at anything. She just stood on the other side of the store. I waited for a few minutes hoping she or someone else might come over to assist me so I could make a purchase. I walked out without being helped. I guess they don't want to sell anything.

A delightful shop with a dizzying variety of things on offer, I could have taken hours just browsing if my sister hadn't had to drag me out [we had to be somewhere]. I -did- come back the next day, though, and spent a good amount of time traipsing around trying things on and debating while one of the absolutely lovely staff chased me around with a velvet tray of maybes [so patient! bless her].
It turns out taste for this place tuns in the family, since this is apparently the place my grandfather bought my mother's first pair of pearl earrings. After much agonizing, most of my maybes went back in the cases, but [aided with a small but helpful discount] I went home with two delightful pieces for my growing collection and I'll absolutely be back.
The sheer -amount- of estate jewelry just makes me tingle, and the wide range of price points therein makes it a lot less nerve-wracking to shop even if you haven't a spare three grand to drop on a whim.

Wonderful family owned jeweler in Wellesley. I took my grandmothers old wedding ring to get resized ($80 to go up 2.5 sizes) and appraised ($100 for an insurance appraisal). They were able to get it done in about a week. They called when it was ready. The staff is super friendly and their jewelry was so beautiful.

Going to Anderson's Jewelers is just like going home to family. They can create real beauty and repair anything, and they stand behind their work. All the folks who work at Anderson's are lovely. We've been going there for years to find gifts for all kinds of celebrations. Thanks, Neil, Jim, Gwen, et. al.

Incredibly nice people and a good experience all-around: I called Anderson's as I had a couple of items I was interested in selling. I spoke with Vicki who was very nice and she told me to come in and see Neil Anderson the next day, and when I brought in my items, I spoke with a really nice guy while Neil looked at my items. I wish I had gotten this man's name, but he has a daughter at Emerson College.
I received a fair price for an engagement ring (having had the opposite experience at Shreve's in Chestnut Hill and Dolobany's in Westwood). It's a nice store with a wide selection of items, and I would definitely return for buying or selling. Thanks, Anderson's!

I first went to Anderson's with my father. He wanted to replace a wedding band he had lost and needed a new watch. He was not the easiest customer to please as he had such high standards. The staff were consistently professional and extremely service oriented. They were patient and gave us their undivided attention. My father was so pleased by their service as well as the quality of their merchandise that he encouraged me to support this family owned business.
Since his passing whenever I seek a unique piece of jewelry or gift for family/friends I go to Anderson's. They are number one on my list. as well as my family. Maureen N.

My fiance bought my engagement here and thought very highly of Lisa who helped him find the most beautiful ring! The ring was a little too big so we went to get it sized (at no additional cost) and dropped it off on Saturday and was sad to part with it so they expedited it to get it back to me on Wednesday! All of them are super nice and loved our experience there. We will definitely be going back here for our wedding bands!

I had brought an Hermes 'H' bracelet to get fixed by Hermes in Boston, which was then shipped to France for 5 months. But alas, Hermes could not fix it. But Anderson's was able to fix the bracelet in less than a week of bringing it in to the store. This is amongst the many reasons they are Wellesley's number one jeweler.

During a closet cleanout, I gathered all my unwanted, broken bits and pieces of jewelry. One jewelry store, in Newton, did a very cursory appraisal and offered me about $150, claiming that a number of pieces were base metal, not gold or silver. On the advice of a friend, I went to Anderson's. Totally different experience. They carefully listed each item or group of items, and offered me a check for over $500 then and there. Glad I didn't take the first offer!

I would be very cautious when using this jewelry store. I bought an expensive Cyma watch from them in 2006 and have not had good luck with the watch or the service. For the first year or so the watch was great, but then after about a year, the watch started running around 20 min late. I would reset it, it would run on time for 2 weeks and then slowly start to run behind.
I took it back to Anderson's, they replaced the battery and said it would be fine. Not fixed. I brought it back again. They said they would look again. I brought it back about 4 more times before they said they were going to send it back to Cyma. They said they sent it back to Cyma who replaced the movements and it should be all set. It's still not running on time and it's Jan 2011.
When I called to get the paperwork showing they sent it to Cyma, they said they never sent it to Cyma. I am now having to pay to send the watch directly to Cyma on my own to see what the problem is because Anderson's could never help. Very frustrating. Not a jeweler I would ever use again. UPDATE: I had my watch sent to Cyma directly and had to pay $200 to fix my watch.
It was a very easy fix because Anderson's had lied to me and put in the wrong overhaul. Good news is that although I had to pay, it is now working like a charm. Bad news is that because Anderson's lied to me for basically 3 years I had to wait all this time to get it fixed, but alas I figured it out on my own. My review still stands that I would NOT recommend Anderson's.

My fiance and I visited Anderson's during our search for wedding rings and had a wonderful experience there. The store carries both new inventory and estate jewelry. Lisa Wikstrom Curran, the salesperson working with us, showed us a surprisingly large assortment of rings within our budget, many of which were nicer and more unique than similar rings we'd seen elsewhere.
By the end of our visit I was debating between two rings (one new and one estate), both of which they were nice enough to "hold" for me for more than a week without a deposit, while I made my ring-buying decision. When I went back mid-week to try the rings on again, the salesperson who helped me then was every bit as friendly and patient as Lisa had been, thoroughly sealing my high opinion of this place. Anderson's is a family-run independent business -- the kind ALL of us should be supporting right now! -- and their commitment to personal, unsnooty customer service really showed in the experiences I had there. I would HIGHLY recommend this store to anyone (of any budget) looking for really nice jewelry sold by really nice people.
