Services
We are happy to clean and inspect your jewelry for free. Always best to find out if anything is worn or damaged before stone/s fall out from wear or damage. We can provide you with detailed evaluations of items purchased from our store for Insurance or Estate purposes. We do not currently offer the service on other merchandise.
Our Four C's of Diamonds guide can help you decide on the most important factors when shopping for a diamond. The word carat derives from the word carob, a Mediterranean seed, which has an extremely consistent weight for measuring. The greater the carat weight, the rarer, and more valuable the diamond becomes.
Some people want to buy the biggest diamond possible. Is this always the right choice? The larger the diamond, chances are the more inclusions it likely has, and because it's larger, these inclusions are typically even more visible than on a smaller diamond. But most importantly, if the diamond cut isn't proportioned correctly, it won't return the maximum amount of light through the top of the diamond. This illustrates that no matter how large the diamond, its cut and proportions determine how brilliant the diamond really is.
Solitaire settings are great if you have a stunning singular stone that has been passed down through the generations as an heirloom, many choose to display it in a classic Solitaire setting. This setting generally allows for the maximum amount of sparkle by allowing light to pass in through the bottom sections of the ring.

Rick has been our jeweler for many years & has been wonderful to work with doing anything at all. Just recently he made several pearl necklaces as gifts and they are exactly what I wanted. Several years ago, he helped us with a beautiful diamond ring we wanted to customize. We have since moved away but always come back to have Rick & Charles Frederick help us.

I recently was given an old ring of my Grandmother's that was too big for me to wear and needed a little TLC. After consulting Google and asking around, I found Charles Frederick Jewelers and couldn't be happier that I did. From the moment I walked into the store on 4/20/22 I was greeted with personable, knowledgeable staff. The person I spoke to looked over the ring and explained what would need to be done, but in a "no pressure" way.
When he came back with the quote for the resizing and repair I was shocked with how affordable it was. I had recently had another ring resized at a jeweler in the mall for $50 more (just a resizing!). I felt reassured with how professional he was and was told to give them 10 days and I'd receive a text when the ring was ready. A mere 7 days later, I received the text and went in to pick the ring up.
It was gorgeous! They did a phenomenal job and I know my late Grandmother is smiling from ear to ear. Again, at pick up all of the staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful (even cleaning my wedding rings while I was there). This is such a special reminder of her and I'm so glad to have found my jeweler right here in town. Thank you Charles Frederick!

Charles Frederick Jewelers showed truly great customer service. I went in for a simple necklace repair and ring cleaning and was immediately greeted, I was told about the issue with my necklace in an easy to understand way (I do not know much about jewelry), and it was all done in about ten minutes (I was expecting a couple of days (keep in mind my cleaning and repair were very minor).
I see why everyone gives such great reviews of CFJ and I will certainly be back for other more extensive repairs I need as well as to look at the items they have for sale (I did not have time today, but what I did see was really beautiful). I highly recommend this business. Thanks again!

My husband and I had the best experience at Charles Frederick Jewelers! We went in on Wednesday and discussed what I was looking for (necklace and earrings). They had exactly what I was looking for but just not the right size stones. They were able to make them for me and I picked up the beautiful necklace and earrings on Friday - two days later! They also took some stones from and old ring I had, and made a pair of studs for my daughter - in the same two-day time frame. Both Rick and Fred were so helpful, gave us great suggestions and options; and the final pieces were all beautiful. Truly a gem of a jewelry store - thank you!

Found this Jeweler doing an online search. Reviews were good so I just headed over for a simple watch battery replacement and a question about a ring. The place is easy to find, clean and professional inside and the staff were fast, efficient and very caring in how they assisted several clients while I was waiting my turn. In less than 10 minutes you could easily see this business was well run and loved by great owners! If you are looking for a great Jeweler. go here!

I absolutely adore this local jeweler. With a beautiful display of jewelry ranging from diamonds, to non-ferrous metals, and estate jewelry, you can't help but wander the cases no matter your reason for stopping in. They've replaced watch batteries, removed links, replaced white gold earring backs, and now just fixed a bent ring for me. Next up is having my grandmother's graduated pearls restrung. These two do it all, and for them it's not just their business but their craft. Very talented jewelers with the utmost kindness! Highly recommend Charles Frederick Jewelers!
