I bought an engagement ring, having been led to believe at the time that the stones were natural diamonds—supposedly marked down from $6,000 to $3,400. However, when I went to pay off the balance, I realized they were actually lab-grown diamonds; it was a total deception just to move their merchandise. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bought them. The salesperson told me nothing could be done, and if I wanted to exchange them for natural diamonds, I would have to pay a difference of over $2,500. It’s a scam by Helzberg; I will never buy anything from them again. I had previously spent over $8,000 on jewelry with them—it is truly shameful behavior on their part.

Still crying with JOY
Let me say this I’m amazed by the professionalism my fiance and I went 6 times 6 times to look for rings! At first the focused on moissenite and lab! Very interesting but I wondered why they didn’t push the genuine ! No pressure .. every one of the sales team help us out together a beautiful ring! I can’t name them all but all
Of the team is excellent! I picked up ring and the head boss was there ! I praise her employee and we talked for a short time.. I cried all the way home what a beautiful experience that I’ll always cherish … ty to all who played a part to me new beginning!

I went in to find a band and replace battery for watch
I went in to find a band and replace the battery for an older watch that was a keepsake. It's been years since I shopped there; however, among the surrounding jewelry shops in the mall, I chose Helzberg based on my past experiences. I must say the service is still excellent, and the customer-friendly representatives are very helpful. I highly recommend this jewelry store. I shopped at the store in Troy, Michigan, in Oakland Mall

Two months of silence, a failed protection plan, and now ghosted by customer care
Total failure of service. I sent my wife’s bracelet in for a second repair under our paid protection plan in early April. Helzberg held onto it for over two months with zero communication, only to finally email me saying the item was discontinued due to manufacturing defects.
To make matters worse, the email said they would follow up with me today (Monday). When I didn't hear anything, I called at noon and spoke to an agent who promised Jasmine would call me back in 15 to 20 minutes. I never received a call.
Expecting a customer to wait months for a defective item, ghosting them on promised callbacks, and then expecting them to potentially pay the difference for a replacement is an unacceptable way to run a business.

A horrible experience with them
A horrible experience with them. I ordered a mens 9mm black titanium wedding ring. They sent me this dull grey ring then they argue with me that this is the right ring. Smh, never again.

Sheryl at Helzberg on Maize Road in…
Sheryl at Helzberg on Maize Road in Wichita, KS is the best. Hope she never leaves as I will have to follow her as I did from her last location. Dedicated, honest, never pressures into a sale, which would drive me away, but will explain to you whatever you need. She treats you like family. She is an asset. Love watching her interact with customers. I am a VERY PICKY person, too. My daughter in Nashville even comes to Wichita to purchase from Sheryl. The other ladies are great as well. Plan on going to see her today for something else I have been looking for. Thanks Helzberg for Sheryl!!

Helzberg Diamonds sold me 2 14K…
Helzberg Diamonds sold me 2 14K magnetic chains for about $2000 each and will not do anything about it. Supposedly they mix magnetic metals with gold. This is throughout the whole chain not just the clasp

Terrible Communication/Service
We have had a terrible experience with this store. My fiance ordered my engagement ring on July 8. It is now February 19 and we have not received my ring yet.
It started with my ring needed to be sized down. It was sent in to be resized 3 sizes down. We were told an estimate of 8 weeks. After 8 weeks we called to check on the status. We were told the ring the order wasn't properly placed, and the ring would need to be remade and we were given an estimate of 8 - 10 weeks.
11 weeks later, the ring came in, and was still too large. It needed to be sent in to get resized. We also picked out a wedding band knowing that the resizing seems to take some time. We were told it would be another 8 - 10 weeks. We were told we would be notified when either ring came in.
10 weeks later, we call to check on the status. The band was in. We never were notified. The engagement ring had a ship date of the next day, so it would be in within the next couple of days. We call a few days later and are told that the ring is going to be another 4 - 6 weeks.
At this point, we are beyond tired of waiting for the ring. I haven't had my ring for most of my engagement, and will not have it at my shower. Our wedding is in May, and at this point I am wondering if I will even have my ring before the wedding.
We asked the store for a return. I talked with a local jeweler who said they can make a ring for me within the next 4 weeks. Helzberg adamantly told us no, that we couldn't return the ring because it was purchased more than 30 days ago. We still don't even have it in our possession, yet we can't return it!
The managers at the store that we have been dealing with , Kristin and Ashley, have not been very understanding. Ashley at one point was talking to my fiance extremely disrespectfully and told him that there has been a study that 75% of brides do not like their rings, and he is just going to have to deal with it.
The issue is not the ring. The issue has been the service and the continued delays.
I tried contacting Helzberg through the website 2 weeks ago, and have received no response.
I tried their chat online, no one answered.
Word of warning, go far in advance of any special date you may need your jewelry by.
