In Short – Get buzzed in and take a long look at these original designs. As you start gravitating toward certain pieces (and you will), a designer will come out--the one who made them. You'll sit down to talk about what you like. He'll sketch. Together you'll design a piece of jewelry that's all "you," one that's heirloom material. Each of the six designer goldsmiths has a distinct style, so you'll see a range of designs, though most have clean, contemporary lines. Buy straight from the case or work with a goldsmith to create something new. The most popular seller among the diamonds: a…
Editor's Tips
- Fun Fact:
- They've snagged several national and international Spectrum awards, the Oscar of jewelry design.
- The Extras:
- Ask to see the Alexandrite stone, set in platinum, which changes color, from a pure purple color to a bright green. Very rare, very pricey at $21,000.

Don't tell them what you are willing to spend. They will give you mediocre and inflate thier prices to match that value. I did not have anything custom made they ordered from a bulk manufacturer and just had to set the stone in a 4 prong setting. They got it done but when I asked why it was so expensive "THE COST OF GOLD" the only reason I was told. They constantly referenced "I see you wanted to spend $500". Sure I was over charged I took the earrings to another place got a value of $339. Exact mounting out of a catalogue and jem size. I sent a reply to Jewelsmith of why the high cost again in the email they refered to "you wanted to spend $500"
It was buisness they saw someone out of options and they decided to use that to thier advantage. Large mark up nice profit.. Good place just don't tell them what you are willing to spend. My mistake and I paid for it!

I couldn't love my wedding set more!
by heylaura at Citysearch
After searching and searching for the perfect wedding set, my husband and I visited Jewelsmith. I had liked their positive reviews on CitySearch, and we had both loved their beautiful and unique collections on their website. We had been searching for months and had been unable to find anything close to what I wanted; a simple aquamarine solitaire; however, Patrick was able to find the perfect setting right away. He called us the next day to assure us that gems were on the way, and we were able to look at those and pick one out within a week. Patrick was even able to ensure that my rings would be ready quicker than expected, as our wedding was coming up very soon. He FedEx'ed them overnight to us, and while FedEx gave us quite a hassle, the set arrived in perfect condition the day before our wedding. It is absolutely perfect and exactly what I had been wanting for a wedding set forever. I couldn't have asked for more beautiful rings or better service! Thank you!
TL;DR: We found the perfect wedding set at Jewelsmith, thanks to Patrick's help and amazing service.

Jewelsmith of Durham
by vanness07 at Citysearch
I was able to meet these great people and make a decision on a ring that best describes my wife. The ring was made by Phil the goldsmith, and Patrick King and I sat down to come up with a design.
Huge selection in stones ,minerals, and precious metal.
I chose Jewelsmith because of their unique way of thinking outside of the box and boring tradition.
I am not boring nor is my wife Jessica .
Jewelsmith gave us a piece to remember for the rest of our lives ... Jared will give you nothing but let down ...
I LOVE PHIL AND PATRICK AND ALL THAT IS JEWELSMITH
- Pros: Best Custom Jewelry Artist
- Cons: NOT A SINGLE THING

best jeweler in the Triangle area
by karenlynn74 at Citysearch
My fiance and I went to every jewelry store in the triangle (or at least it feels like it) while shopping for his wedding ring. Every store seemed to have the same style rings. Nothing original, nothing unique. My fiance really wanted a ring that would fit his original style and "not something my uncle would wear."
Then we went to jewelsmith. WOW! From the second we walked in to the showroom we were impressed. The shop is beautiful. The items were unique, modern and crafted in the back of the shop. The goldsmiths are right on site so if you have a question about the jewlery you can ask the person who designed and hand crafted the individual piece. My fiance had a specific design in mind and we could not find anything similar in the Triangle. We spoke with one of the goldsmiths and they designed and priced the ring for us in a matter of minutes.
We worked with Mackenzie. She was so helpful and really took the time to talk with myself and my fiance over the next several weeks.
We will be recommending Jewelsmith to all of our friends in the future!
- Pros: beautiful original pieces, excellent helpful staff!
- Cons: a little expensive but comparable for original handcrafted jewelry
