Great experience working with Crawford Jewellers to re-set a diamond for my fiancee given to us by my grandmother. Great professionalism, right off the subway and easy to get to. Delivered a ring that me and my fiancee are so proud to show off!!! Strongly recommend.

This review is long overdue!! I worked with Leanne to design my wedding band in June 2017. Leanne was recommended by a friend who had her wedding rings redesigned , my friend had nothing but good things to say about the product and service she had received . After many failed visits to typical and custom jewellery stores to find the perfect beaded band at a reasonable price (less than $2,500). I contacted Leanne and showed her pics of what I liked to see if she could make it and to get a quote . After many pleasant emails and appointments , Leanne created the most beautiful ring . She was so professional

My fiancee had her wedding ring sized by Crawford Jewellers and we were very pleased by the level of service and workmanship. The ring was platinum which can be difficult to work with but they sized it just right. Leeanne was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable in explaining the process and ensuring everything was perfect. All in all we couldn't be happier!

Wonderful experience at Crawford. Together with my now fianc, I repurposed a family ring and designed my custom engagment ring here. Leeanne was extremely helpful, professional, and very friendly throughout the whole process. Very happy with the results and will return for more services.

This place is wonderful. I went to them without an appointment to get my engagement ring sized, which is a family heirloom, and Alaine saw me, took my measurements and completed the sizing all within 20 minutes. She was exceptionally careful with my ring, friendly to me and a delight to deal with. They even cleaned and polished it and checked all the stones to make sure they were secure and the price was very competitive. I'm very happy with them and will likely be coming back here when it is time to purchase wedding bands.
