J B Hudson Jewelers

I think visiting a jeweler is always fun but Kathleen makes it an even better time. She has helped me choose several watches as gifts and pieces of jewelry. She knows the inventory well and is on top of trends. She will stay in your planned purchase price and may save you some $$ also. Her personality is fun and professional. I will always call here when I plan to come in to shop.

I highly recommend JB Hudson and rate the jeweler as a 5 for service, quality and exceptional merchandise! I also give Julie Garner 5 stars! She has been my "go to" salesperson for at least 2 decades. She has always been amazing at suggesting perfect gifts for others. She has always being keen on my sense of personal style and taste in jewelry so has been good at suggesting pieces for me. Finally, she has consistently provided extraordinarily service to me - always going "above and beyond" my expectations as a salesperson! Additionally, I have partnered with JB Hudson in philanthropic endeavors which has meant so much to me and this community over the many years!

JB Hudson is the finest jewelry store I have had the pleasure of working with. For more than 17 years, their outstanding and knowledgeable staff have been the epitome of professionalism. The selection of fine jewelry and timepieces has been exceptional; elegant and refined. If you are looking for something special and a level of customer service second to none, I highly recommended a visit to JB Hudson.

I love shopping at JB Hudson's. The jewelry is beautiful. Working with my wonderful sales person, Kathleen Anderson over several years has been awesome. She' s always upbeat and really knows her jewelry and her watches. Definitely will continue to shop there.

JB Hudson has been my go-to jeweler of choice for many years now. Their friendly, capable, stable staff, reasonable prices, and superior service make them easy for me to recommend. Of especial note, Julie Garner has always been and remains a terrific sales & support person!

We have been buying jewelry at JB Hudson for over 15 years. JB Hudson has a great selection, very friendly staff and an excellent service department. We have worked with Julie from the very beginning. She is extremely knowledgeable and has gotten to know our tastes in jewelry. She knows what jewelry we would like and even shows us jewelry that we are unsure of at first, only to love it once we try it on.

We moved out of the state ten years ago and couldn't find a jewelry store that compares to JB Hudson. We continue to visit Julie at JB Hudson each time we get back to Minneapolis.

I've been shopping at JB Hudson's for years, and have always received excellent service from Kathleen Anderson. As a watch person I really like their variety of brands; many jewelry stores in the twin cities carry only a few brands (and usually just the "big names"), and often don't have much expertise or knowledge with watches. JB Hudson has a comparatively large selection and Kathleen is a great resource for detailed information about what they carry and what would be a good fit for you at a range of different price points. Overall a great experience and a place I'll be returning to in the future.

I had the most fantastic experience shopping for diamonds at JB Hudson jewelers before they closed. I worked with Julie who was fantastic. She made hopeful suggestion and steered me toward buying pieces that fit my lifestyle, are timeless and were a good value. Over several visits and with Julie 's help, I bought a number of pieces, all of which I love and wear frequently and proudly.

All the staff but especially Jules were welcoming, friendly, supportive and unbelievably helpful. They all became friends. I never felt pressured or rushed in making my purchases. I look forward to seeing Julie again at Gunderson's Jewelry and using her expertise when I add to my jewelry collection!

Darlene helped me and my family when we sold some pieces of jewelry to JB Hudson's after my mother passed away. Working with her and the team was a godsend making this emotional transaction seamless and fair. Working with Darlene was like working with a family member. Her knowledge, compassion and humor was so appreciated! Katie and the design team created some amazing new pieces of jewelry giving me wearable memories to last a lifetime. She listened to what I was thinking and created artwork reflecting exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you all for helping us during this sensitive time.

Love this store and my favorite sales team, Kimberley and Julie! I usually buy from their amazing vintage selection but they have great current designers as well (Rene Escobar is a personal favorite). Beautiful store in a beautiful historic building.

So. I hardly ever write reviews, but I believe this is a much needed review. About 5 months ago I contacted David Brenke about a very special timepiece (Patek Philippe) I was on the hunt for & JB Hudson had it "in stock". From the moment I first spoke to David, his professionalism, honestly & follow though is the best I have ever experienced in the world of "sight unseen" purchases.

Since that first purchase, I have bought & sold several items with JB Hudson. Each & every deal has been truly fair for both of us. Not only have I found my jeweler for "life", but I made a friend in the process. Who says some good things can't come from 2020 and Covid-19! I would like to express a "Thank You" to David Brenke & JB Hudson for making some great memories in 2020!

Went in to repair the clasp on a chain. I was helped by Dan who was awesome. Originally was given an ETA of 2 weeks to fix because they were a bit behind but ended up taking less than 24 hours for the repair. Was quoted a bit higher than what the final cost ended up being as well so that was a plus. Will definitely go back for any other future repairs.

My husband used JB Hudson Jewelers to custom design my engagement ring. He worked with George and had such a wonderful experience. George went back and forth on designs for months until Zack (my husband) was confident he had it just right. It truly is the perfect ring. We proceeded to purchase our wedding rings from George, as well as 2 watches (one as a wedding gift to my husband and one that was purchased by Zack's father as a referral from us). They offer free cleanings for everything you buy from them. Customer service is always impressive. Highly recommend JB Hudson and specifically, George.

My wife and I got our engagement ring here and it was a terrific experience! We especially recommend George, who helped us find just what we were looking for. JB Hudson is a great local business and we've been back several times since then for other items. Highly recommend!

Adam H and I worked with Jen at JB Hudson for my engagement ring and our wedding bands. We aren't the easiest to work with as we can be indecisive, but working with Jen was easy - there was no pressure and she worked with us until she helped us find what worked for us. We went in a few times to pick out rings, and then I went back in again a few times to pick out a necklace to wear with on my wedding day. I loved working with Jen and would definitely recommend her and JB Hudson.

I was contacted my Mr. Brenke and after a brief conversation, Mr. Brenke went out of his way to make things right! apologized for the inconvenience and will be sending a replacement. greatly appreciate the call and making things right. will shop again now that we have resolved this minor hiccup.

We bought our wedding bands from Anne at JB Hudson and had such an amazing experience! She was incredibly helpful and patient with us as we labored over all the different options for both me and my fiance.and we LOVE the final product of both our rings! We will absolutely be back to JB Hudson for future purchases. Thank you Anne and JB Hudson for treating us so well!

Amazing store, the staff were so nice and helpful. Kathleen helped my boyfriend and I pick out the perfect engagement ring. It took us forever to make a decision on what we wanted and she was so patient, she made the experience so much more fun! I would highly recommend this jeweler to anyone looking to buy.

I have now been into JB Hudson twice- the first was to get a new band for a watch, and the second was to purchase an engagement ring and diamond. I worked with Julie, who was terrific and very knowledgeable about diamonds and rings. She made the entire experience very simple and comfortable and comfortable for me, as I know very little about diamonds. The rest of the staff was very friendly and welcoming as well. I highly recommend JB Hudson for your jewelry needs.

I've been a fan of these guys for years. They've always been friendly and willing to talk about the products. I remember visiting them when I was still in high school and they'd spend the time showing me the watches and letting me try them on when they knew full well that I wasn't able to buy anything, let alone a $40k watch. Now that I'm older and able to purchase nicer things, I keep going back to JB Hudson for any watch or jewelry that we're looking for.

This last time we were there we worked with Bruce and he was very helpful. We were out to walk around downtown and decided to stop in. We didn't go in looking for anything or planning to buy anything, but there we go walking out the door after an hour with him with some new goods. I highly recommend JB Hudson to anyone looking for quality jewelry and watches.

I worked with Karen from JB Hudson on our latest styled shoot and she was great! She helped style and was willing to go above and beyond for the entire shoot. It was a pleasure working with her. And JB Hudson's pieces were stunning, so original!

Patrick Nelson was great to work with while we were engagement ring shopping! He was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us without being pretentious. He never pressured us to buy anything more expensive and made us both feel very relaxed! Highly recommend for engagement ring shopping!

My experience at JB Hudson's was excellent. I will come back for sure. Sharon was very friendly and helpful.

We purchased all of our rings for our wedding here, and could not be happier. Their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and honest, and we got some amazing deals on exactly the rings we wanted. That said: any guys out there looking for an engagement ring should wait for their events. They discount discontinued rings, and we got exactly the ring my wife wanted at a huge discount. We then used the points we earned on that to buy my wedding band. It was a crazy deal -- especially since they're the best jeweler in the state!

Incredible service, knowledgable staff, wonderful attention to detail. I love going here. Given a rather droll experience earlier today, I felt I should stop in. Once again, these guys blow me away. They remember me, that I'm a gemologist and watch collector, and one of the sales associates still has my short list of vintage watches I'm interested in acquiring if they ever happen across one.

They treated me and my daughter like royalty (although that tends to go to her head a bit!). They set a standard that other shops in the Twin Cities should be measured by. And that stunning Jaeger LeCoultre Master Geographic, I'm telling you. it's calling my name! Someday.

When we were in the market for a loose alexandrite gemstone to use in my wedding band, we went into JB Hudson and spent an afternoon discussing our desires and needs with a sales associate there. I got the sense that she did not really take us seriously and didn't judge us as having the budget for what it would cost. Well, we did have the money and ended up going with another jeweler as we never heard from JB Hudson again. They took our name and number down but that was the last we heard. We ended up going with DJ Bitzan's in St. Cloud - a wonderful, established, family-run company.

This place rocks my world! I contacted them to see if they could put the diamond from my engagement ring into a new setting. They were so helpful on the phone and when I took my ring in. My five year old daughter came with and they were so sweet to her; they asked her questions and gave her a blinky ring for both her and her sister. I worked with Mary in service but everyone there was very nice and personable. Unfortunately, my diamond ended up being too big for the setting that I had purchased elsewhere (not JB's fault) and so they weren't able to take care of that. But, my husband had a nonfunctioning watch sitting around that they took care of on the spot, which was great, and it only cost $25 for the repair.

JB Hudson treats people with class because they know they are creating relationships for a lifetime. Worked with Christy in the engagement ring section on multiple occasions looking for the perfect diamond. People, we shopped at pretty much every retail and discount diamond place in the Twin Cities looking for a deal. Yet, Christy was a perfect mix of knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness and we kept coming back to her.

When the time was right she helped my soon-to-be-fiance find a gorgeous diamond he could afford on not a huge budget and then they toasted with champagne. Plus, they have free valet parking (also validated parking) downtown and who doesn't like a grand experience of walking into a historic building to buy something pretty or just browse? And this business, owned by the Pohland fam, will be around forever.

I went to JB Hudson's for a ring resizing. I intended to go to Continental in SLP, but after two weekends of not going, I realized leaving the confines of downtown for this errand was a hoop dream. I stopped into JB Hudson's on Saturday morning, and was relatively quickly serviced. They measured my finger and took the ring, giving me a secure little slip I could use to pick it up (though they didn't exactly make that clear - I could have easily thrown it away in my daily purse receipt purge).

My ring was ready by Wednesday, in great shape and fit perfectly. At only $41, I would definitely go back for another ring resizing. I have no idea if this is a reasonable price, but it feels appropriate to me and I'm not questioning it. Also, they said resizing is free if you buy it there, naturally.
