Fitzgerald Jewelry

I went here for wedding ring shopping with my fiancé. They have such a great selection of beautiful and interesting jewelry. The customer service is great too; the person helping us was so patient at letting us take our time to look at a bunch of rings. I found one I absolutely loved and is perfect for me. Highly recommend this place!

Went here to get my wedding ring resized and again to get a diamond replaced that had fallen out of my halo. The work here is excellent and affordably priced. I was worried about leaving it as my ring is rare and very special to me. The service was quick and I was kept informed on progress. I love it here, my ring was returned to me repaired, glistening and gorgeous. They are now the only ones I trust with my jewelry repair. On top of that the jewelry they sell is stunning. The person who runs this shop is dedicated. Also to note their plant collection is beautiful as well. They take pride in every inch of the space, even the things that are not for sale like the plants.

Exemplary Service & Craftsmanship! They custom designed our set of rings, while making our experience easy and delightful

Did a jewelry making class here with a few coworkers on a Monday afternoon. We had a great time! It was BYOB and they provided us a tray of cheese, olives, and crackers. The women in our group made several thin, stackable silver rings and the men made thicker ones. Sue, our instructor, was super friendly and helpful. It was really fun going through the full ring making process: measuring, cutting, filing, soldering, shaping, and polishing. Would definitely recommend this activity.

Those guys should put a ring on everyone in BK. They are the most talented (and patient) jewelers I’ve ever met. Olivia was an amazing teacher who knows how to perfectly balance the I-know-you-want-to-make-this-ring-by-yourself with the ok-now-let-me-fix-the-mess-you-made. Great experience. Definitely recommend.

My fiancée and I took a class at Fitzgerald Jewelry to create our own wedding bands in silver. We were perfectly and carefully instructed by a very experienced professional to produce something VERY worthy of the occasion. We heated the silver, poured it into a long band, cut it in two, stretched it, flattened it, bent it into a circle, soldered the ends together, created the appropriate design with hammers and tools, polished it, and then took them home on the same day. It was fantastic. It was an awesome experience. Our expectations were blown away. We'll be going back for sure. Pictures below!

The sweetest staff ever! I came to have some links removed to shorten a chain and they were happy to help and didn't charge me even after I offered to pay them. Although I am not on the market for an engagement or wedding band, if I were, this is definitely the place to check out! They have beautiful and unique pieces that can be customized and perhaps, most important, kind and attentive staff.

This place is so great. They are experts at their craft, and the studio has such a fun vibe. Olivia is a fantastic teacher - I will cherish the pieces I made with her forever. She made sure the finish was perfect, while also helping me learn and apply the techniques myself. Highly recommend!!

My fiancé and I went to Fitzgerald Jewelry because we wanted to find somewhere: 1) Local, taking in person consultations, 2) Make custom rings, and 3) Could source alternative/unusual stones or gems for the ring. We had looked online but my fiancé was nervous about shipping it so far away, so after reading reviews and scouring the internet, we were happily pleased to find Fitzgerald Jewelry met all the criteria! We set up a consultation through email and went in person to meet with a jeweller. The first consultation was fairly quick. I knew what I wanted already (a salt and pepper diamond engagement ring) but went in person with my fiancé to get a better understanding and gauge of what we wanted. He picked out a beautiful engagement band for himself that we later customised for him. For my ring, however: we had an idea and Olivia (who is no longer working at the store, but still creates jewellery that is AT the store) helped us and it took a week to source the stones. We found the perfect one within our budget, and gave them a deadline. I'm giving five stars because the service was impeccable. We did have a snag in that the setter placed the stone in wrong and we were disappointed and worried we would not have the ring in time for our trip. They even gave us options, both of which were disappointing but understood with the time crunch of the holidays. At the last minute, the setter changed their plans to accommodate their error in setting the stone. Got our ring in time. Turn around for customs is probably around ~2 months if you're fast. I would recommend this store again since it delivered the ring of my dreams!

Got my beautiful wedding band here! (Pictured above the engagement ring) I wanted a unique v shape that worked with my oval engagement ring. They were so lovely here and not snobby at all. I went somewhere else and the ring they wanted to sell me had a smaller diamonds and was way overpriced. They have a great price bracket here and I'm pretty sure they make the rings on the spot! Lovely place l, will go back in the future.

What a wonderful asset to the neighborhood. I had a catbird charm that I wanted to add to a mejuri necklace...and catbird was not able to do so because the chain was not their own. They instantly recommended fitzgerald jewelry to do the trick, and I swung by and they took me in instantly. They explained that putting the charm onto the necklace was an easy fix, explained how to do so (and how I could easily do this myself - the charm couldn't easily be slipped onto the necklace...). Not only that, they didn't charge me anything! Such sweethearts! If I'm in need of more jewelry or jewelry repair, Fitzgerald Jewelry will be my first stop.

Great service and very reasonably priced. I popped a diamond out of a ring that I recently inherited and brought it in for repair (fortunately I had the loose diamond). They reset it, cleaned it, and checked the remaining prongs for defects -- all for $80. I was very pleasantly surprised at how affordable it was and the ring really sparkles now!

My fiancé did not want a "traditional" wedding ring, and left the design entirely up to me, which was a LOT of pressure! The incredible designers at Fitzgerald made me feel totally taken care of, and were extremely meticulous; they wanted to get it right as much as I did. They took an idea I had from a pictures I found on Pinterest and made CAD designs, silver casts, and put up with my OCD when I asked for minute changes. In the end my fiancé (now wife!) was overjoyed, and the compliments do not stop coming in! Thanks Fitzgerald Jewelry!

A little over three years ago, I needed to find a jewelry repair shop that could downsize a man's palladium wedding ring. Fitzgerald came up in an Internet search and, after calling to confirm that they could work with palladium, I went to their shop and left my ring. The image of the receipt, attached to my review, shows a $100 charge from Fitzgerald for a downsize by "Mario." I recently dropped the ring in my bathtub while taking a shower. It split apart, no doubt where the two ends were fused. I left a message on Fitzgerald's website, explained the situation, and said I assumed the ring would be fixed at no charge. Fitzgerald's reply: "Once you leave the store, the ring is your responsibility." Some guarantee! And yes, I have since learned that a palladium ring is more brittle than gold. Would have been nice to know when I brought it in for repair -- but the complete lack of a guarantee on jewelry repairs at Fitzgerald isn't limited to palladium. Buyer beware.

This is WAY overdue, sorry! I'll start out by saying, when it came to all the parts of planning a wedding --- the rings were the last thing on our mind ( major procrastinators! ) with 30 days until our big day, I went into Fitzgerald simply to have an older sentimental ring of mine (rough cut diamond) resized to use as my engagement ring (after being engaged for 1.5 years without one ). Michael was extremely helpful with not only a speedy turnaround but an in person second resizing because i was between sizes. The ring came back looking better than it ever did (after 5 years of constant wear). My husband came with me to pick up the resized ring and started browsing bands (with no pressure at all from the staff). I knew I wanted something with stacking ability but wasn't sure anyone would be able to customize something with such a short timeline. Fitzgeralds went above and beyond! Not only helping me pick custom sized stacking bands (one solid gold and the other with grey matching diamonds) that perfect fit my engagement ring, at an amazingly affordable price... they also promised to send the rings to us in Texas (where the wedding was, if they couldn't turn around before we left - 2 weeks before our wedding). They came through and we were able to pick up my two bands, in the type of gold I wanted as well as my husbands custom band (which he didn't even know he wanted until we saw the texture options available in shop for men's gold rings). I think he spent more time trying on options than I did! The point is--- these guys are the best! Fantastic staff, jewelers, and store in general.

I went here for wedding ring shopping with my fiancé. They have such a great selection of beautiful and interesting jewelry. The customer service is great too; the person helping us was so patient at letting us take our time to look at a bunch of rings. I found one I absolutely loved and is perfect for me. Highly recommend this place!

I came in with an idea and left with a much clearer vision of how to make it happen thanks to Jake. I can't recommend visiting with them enough when it comes to creating a custom piece. Thanks again for answering all my questions and being so transparent and professional. Looking forward to our next visit!

I had never been to a proper jeweler prior to going to Fitzgerald Jewelry and I was frankly a little nervous. My fiancé and I were getting my engagement ring resized, and I wasn't sure if asking for just a small service would mean they would be dismissive or something. But honestly, they were SO friendly, educational and patient. My ring was resized within a week and the results are perfect. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! I felt really covid safe in there bc the store is pretty big, everyone is in a mask and they have everyone sanitize before trying anything on. I came in needing a last minute (temporary mini-mony) wedding band and they were ready to dig through everything they had. They got my perfect ring measurements, and turned around a beautiful piece in the same day. I don't recommend going in there in an extreme rush like I did, but it was amazing that they were willing to help me make sure I had a ring for my wedding day. They went above and beyond! They're not dirt cheap, nor are they priced outlandishly. I was super grateful to have their help.

I love this place and I'm so happy they are in the neighborhood. They have helped me resize some complicated rings, repair & redesign bracelets, and they very creatively fixed a problem I was having with some Pamela Love clasp earrings that kept falling off my ears. They are amazing problem solvers & excellent designers--they once made a gorgeous rose gold wedding band for a dear friend of mine. Jewelry design and repair that is independent and small is so valuable!! Please stay open forever.

My husband and I got custom wedding bands at Fitzgerald, and we had such a good experience all the way through the process! From discussing design options with the team, reviewing the casting and stones before the final setting, and even the follow up support they provided when there was a slight miscommunication about the design of one ring (they fixed everything cheerfully and turned it around within a week)- all ahead of the estimated deadline we had initially set), and re-sizings, the team has been so great to work with and we LOVE having rings that are so unique and locally made.

I had an old bridal set that I wanted to break out into a new piece or two. Michael was incredibly helpful and advised on different options. Reclaiming white gold came really tricky, but my new stacker rings turned out beautifully! Looking forward to adding to them The jewelry at this place is amazing- great to see artists' work.

Best jeweler in Williamsburg. The owner, Michael Fitzgerald, is so helpful and kind. Highly recommend this place!

My husband and I got our wedding bands at Fitzgerald Jewelry and couldn't be more pleased with our choice! Their selection is great and everyone who works their is super friendly, knowledgable and helpful -- over all it's an incredible jewelry store. But the best part of our experience is that we had essentially forgotten about wedding bands until one month before the wedding -- we went in I think June 24 and our wedding was July 21 -- but Fitzgerald was able to accommodate our procrastination and strict timeline and had our bands ready for us with plenty of time to go! The designer also had me come in a few days before to ensure I was pleased with the ring and that it matched my vintage engagement ring, since I planned to wear them as a set, and added a few finishing touches to make sure it matched perfectly. I seriously appreciate this extra effort; the final changes took my ring above and beyond anything I could have dreamt, executing my vision flawlessly. The rings look amazing together, and even on its own, my wedding band is GORGEOUS and I haven't stopped receiving compliments on it. I will definitely be returning to Fitzgerald Jewelry for jewelry shopping soon, and highly recommend them for all of your jewelry, engagement ring and wedding band needs!

I wish I would've written this back when I purchased the ring cos it would've been much more detailed, but better late then never! I had a custom engagement ring made here and it turned out beautifully. Happy future wife, happy future life. Thanks, Fitzgerald!

I went to Fitzgerald Jewelers because I was drawn in my the window display and excited to have a place in my neighborhood to buy and possibly make jewelry. I had the worst experience there. The man who helped me told me my rings had no street value and he could make them better. They are family heirlooms and have sentimental value to me, and, I never asked for his opinion. Then order was supposed to take two weeks took five weeks and the everything was all wrong. I was happy to get my rings out of there and had them fixed at another jeweler. I'm writing this review now because I was talking to a co worker and she had a similar experience. It brought back the way I felt walking out of the store.

Amazing experience. My fiancée and I took a private class to make our wedding bands and cannot say enough good things about it. From our first email to the finished product, they were so attentive and informative. The actual class was so cool, they made you feel really comfortable (which is good because we are both totally rookies at this). When we told friends what we were doing they kept misunderstanding us that we were designing the bands. They were really impressed when we showed them pictures of us in the workshop physically making them.

My partner and I stumbled upon Fitzgerald on a wedding ring-shopping trip to Williamsburg, and I couldn't be more thrilled! Everyone who helped us was so kind, knowledgeable, and patient--and I found my dream wedding bands. Not only was the Fitzgerald Jewelry team (especially Sue and Michael) so helpful via email as I finalized my order (and asked questions about social justice practices that they patiently and thoroughly answered), they also quickly worked to fix an issue I raised with my order once it arrived at no charge. I'm so excited to have made such an important purchase from this team. (And to have such beautiful rings!)

When I proposed to my girlfriend I knew she wanted to design her own engagement ring. I used a family ring for the proposal and left it up to her (after she said YES!) to find the jeweler of her choice. She found Michael on Yelp and we made an appointment to meet with him. Our first consultation was a breeze and we left feeling very comfortable about our requests. Our family had been very generous with supplying diamonds and gold so we left Michael with all of our "booty". Two weeks later we returned to pick up my engagement ring. He made it out of 100% recycled gold and it far exceeded what I had envisioned. Because we had so much gold and jewels left over, we decided to make gifts for our Mom's that we could give them on our wedding day. My future mother-in-law really loved the ring I had used for the proposal, so we had Michael refurbish it with a sapphire and clean it up. For my mother, he designed a setting for a Ruby and we reused one of the gold chains they had given us. Today we returned to pick up our wedding bands, the gifts for our mother's and my girlfriends engagement ring. We couldn't be more pleased with the final product and all of Michael's attention and customer service. I would highly recommend Fitzgerald Jewelry for all of your jewelry needs. His willingness to work with us on our respective vision and his ability to add his own touches were great. It was truly a personal and wonderful experience.

Stopped into Fitzgerald today hoping to get my diamond engagement ring cleaned prior to our engagement photos! The staff was warm, welcoming, and helpful. They cleaned my ring beautifully and definitely made me want to come back to give them business for future jewelry needs!

I was looking to get my grandfathers antique wedding ring resized & thought it was going to end up being a nightmare to figure out. After searching, Fitzgerald seemed like the obvious choice but I still had my concerns. The moment I stopped in (didn't need an appointment) my concerns were blown out the window! Such a great little staff here & I couldn't believe how helpful they were in the process! They were even able to speed up the process for me for a little extra cost (& it was STILL less than I was expecting to have to pay)! Highly recommend these guys to ANYONE & there jewelry needs. I am already looking forward to future reasons to make my way here!!

I can't say enough things about Michael and this studio. Michael introduced my wife and I to the art of jewelry making over 2 years ago and we have take more than 4 classes at his studio. He recently moved to a new beautiful space on grand that is a fantastic showcase for his work and the work of his students that he amassed over the years. If you like to make things stop by and take a class. If you like to buy the jewelry is beautiful and very reasonably priced compared to most other stores.

Walked in with my fiancé, was (barely) greeted by a woman who didn't even look up from what she was doing, my fiance asked a question and she ignored him to talk to her friends in the shop. Horrible customer service. We walked right out

Went here to get a customized engagement ring. Knew nothing about the process and only had a few particulars on what my now fiancée wanted. Michael and his team made the whole process easy for me. I would highly recommend this place for any jewelry needs. My fiancée completely loves her ring and we couldn't be happier with the result. Will definitely return to see what ideas they can come up with for our wedding bands.

While shopping for the traditional male wedding band, I decided I wanted to make my husbands wedding ring to make it a bit more special (even though I am not an artist ha). After EXTENSIVE research I found Fitzgerald Jewelry Store. From start to finish the experience was amazing and unique. I worked with Sue and she was very supportive, thorough and overall a wonderful teacher. At times I was nervous working with the saw and gold but she guided me through it. We had a few sessions, but it wasn't overly time consuming. The owner Michael was also very engaging and supportive as well. My husband had an idea of the styling he wanted, and Sue helped me make it happen. I LOVE the finished ring, and so does my husband. The store also offered beautiful designer jewelry, so I knew if it didn't come out the way I wanted it was another option to purchase something there haha. Overall a wonderful experience that made our wedding even more special. I also plan on returning to Fitzgerald Jewelry Store to take more classes.

I love taking wax carving and silversmith classes here!

A real jewelry fan's jewelry store. I always send friends here because I feel like there is something for everyone. They sell their own jewelry designs as well as other independent designers, which I love. If you don't know a lot about jewelry, the sales people are really helpful and down to earth. Nothing more annoying than an intimidating shopping experience. Overall great experience as usual and I'll surely be back...

I got my wedding band here. The no-pressure, knowledgeable people at Fitzgerald helped me (I knew absolutely nothing about rings) pick out the perfect ring. Fits like a glove. (?) There's a great vibe in this store/showroom, with lots of cool tools around. Definitely recommended.

I cannot say enough positive things about working with Michael and the Fitzgerald Jewelry team to design a custom ring. When proposing to my girlfriend, I knew she would want something unique. I visited several jewelers to try to find a ring that would fit the bill, and finally found Fitzgerald Jewelry. At Fitzgerald Jewelry, I found a ring that was close to what I was looking for, but that I wanted to customize a bit (swap out the diamond for another stone, add engraving/filigree to the side, etc). Using that ring as a jumping off point, Michael and George made an entirely unique ring that was more beautiful than I would have ever been able to envision. Michael and George were amazing to collaborate with through the entire process - they were very invested, responsive, and patient with what was probably very vague direction on my part. I would highly recommend working with Fitzgerald Jewelry if you're looking for something custom!

I wish I could give this business 6 stars! I took my engagement ring in to get resized and didn't make it small enough. I didn't realize that it had to be just big enough to get over your knuckle when they initially asked me what size I wanted. I walked out with it and over the next hour regretted that I didn't make it small enough. I walked back in and Fitzgerald Jewelry happily resized it for me for no extra charge. The first time they resized it, it was ready in less than 24 hours. The second time it was also ready in less than 24 hours.

Incredibly easy, enjoyable, and expedient experience working with Michael and his team to find a new diamond for my family heirloom engagement ring. We loved working together! Looking forward to finding our wedding bands here as well. Cheers.

The salesperson was patient and understanding regarding the budget that I was working within. She retrieved catalogs to find the right item at the right price. Be informed before you buy: no cash refunds; store credit only.

I was in the market for a gift for my girlfriend. The shop keeper was showing me a necklace. When another customer came asking to see something more expensive, I got the cold shoulder. The general vibe of Fitzgerald jewelers was that they were interested in going for the higher sale and not interested in a new customer relationship. Subsequently, I will neither be a new customer, nor will I be a return customer.

I want to thank Michael and the crew for creating a most gorgeous, handcrafted and original beauty. It is exactly what we had imagined in our minds- Michael was able to listen, sketch, suggest, and create. Every part of the process was professional. He is so open and informative about the jewelry making process. There is a warmth about his practice that does not intimidate, rather- inspires you enjoy your jewelry even more so! I highly recommend Fitzgerald Jewelry to anyone who is looking custom made jewelry.

Had gone in to get my necklace fixed. It's one that I wear everyday so it was worn out and the chain had broken off. They were extremely helpful- made things clear and were prompt with the quotes I had requested. LOVE the finished product. Had just asked to get the chain replaced but the center piece seems to have been polished and doesn't look as worn out. They hooked it up! Definitely a go to for me from now on!

I'm so excited about my new diamond earrings I bought at Fitzgerald Jewelry over the weekend. The staff was super knowledgeable and helpful and really nice as well. I have been getting so many compliments on my new studs! Thank you Fitzgeralds and I'll be back soon!

Excellent service and products. We collaborated on design & fabrication of a custom engagement ring, they were able to add valuable insight in order to realize the vision - which was achieved with excellent craftsmanship. They helped with advising on and sourcing materials, and stone setting. Thank you Michael Fitzgerald for everything.

Love the classes, the jewelry, and the crew. Definitely look through their website if you haven't already. I've taken the Silversmithing class and the Wax Carving - Rings class. Had a blast at both. Class tip: bring lunch, cause you're gonna be busy for hours. Time will fly by and you'll be starving afterward.

I attended the signet ring workshop and went to practice at the jewelry a few times. The instructors are all friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The environment is relaxed and beautiful. I absolutely recommend to attend workshops and classes!!

Super nice people! They resized a ring for me without charging. Great neighborhood business!!

I really wanted a grey diamond engagement ring, so my fiancé and I decided to have one made. After searching online I found Michael and really loved his style so we made an appointment. From the first moment we walked in the studio Michael was kind, funny and helpful. I brought some photos and looked at some pieces in the shop and it was such a fun collaborative process to come up with the design. Michael was so great to work with and so involved in all the details every step of the way. George who did the computer rendering of the design is also super talented and responsive. When I say the finished product is gorgeous I don't think that does it justice. It's really a work of art and it's so special to have something one of a kind that my fiancé and I both had a hand in creating. If you're thinking of designing your own ring I can't recommend Michael highly enough. Thanks for making our engagement amazing!!

A great place! As a guy, not always sure what to look for, and they were great and helpful and affordable with resizing my lady's diamond ring and creating exactly the wedding band I wanted for myself.

Oh My, Michael and his team took some remarkable unwearable pieces and transformed them into the most understated, lovely items. I couldn't be happier. They totally got me.

This is the best place to go for great handmade beautiful pieces of Jewelry in all of Williamsburg! Also, if you want to learn how to make jewelry of your own, this is a great place to take personalized classes! Michael and Hiryoko are both super talented and super nice people!! So treat yourself, or someone else, and go!! : )

Well, it's hard to begin somewhere since our entire experience has been amazing. From the start, Michael has been such an awesome and kind person to work with! After my fiancé proposed and got a beautiful temporary ring from the shop, he planned to design the ring with me. From the start Michael listened to my every wish and advised us on metals to work with as well as stones. George drew the designs in CAD and phoned us many times to clear up details! With his drawings we got to see the ring in real image and then in wax! After picking up the ring a few days ago, I am in love! It is not only the most beautiful ring I've ever seen, but it holds so much meaning! Having our ring in the hands of Michael and Fitzgerald's was the BEST decision my fiancé made! If you are looking for beautiful jewelry already made, or a new piece please go here! Truly amazing! Thank you!!

Had a complicated custom jewelry order placed here. From the design and planning to the execution I couldn't have asked for anyone better to help me. Michael personally met with me and took care of the order and was very helpful in designing it too meet my expectations. Overall, it came out a beautiful piece and I knew that a lot of effort had gone into it. Grateful I could find this place.

Beautiful jewelry in a lovely shop. Michael is very cordial and although we didn't purchase this time, we will return as he was the type of person we like to do business with.
