I have used this jeweler twice in a span of a few years, both times for the purpose of repairing/refurbishing wrist watches. The first time I asked that a piece willed to me by my later father in law be refurbished, crystal changed, dial and case cleaned. He returned me the watch some time later with the newly installed crystal scuffed. When asked about the damage the owner became agitated and confrontational. I paid and walked out thinking if I had more time I should of taken the watch to Toronto for repairs. The second time I brought in a watch that had to have its indices re attached , In the conversation with one of the owners I advised that if possible could they apply some glue to the back to reattach a little more firmly, advising I was a very active person. . Some time later I went to pick up the watch . Upon inspection I noticed a blue smudge by the 11 oclock marker, when I questioned the owner in regards to the damage he became agitated , stated it was caused by the excess glue being removed. I advised that the resale of the watch was impossible he advised the watch was worthless anyway. (Watch U Seek F71) This so called Horologist, seems to believe the worth of your property is inconsequential to him and his craftsmanship very questionable. I recommend from my experiences , use another jeweler whom actually cares.

I'm not one to typically write poor reviews but in this case I felt it was important to do so. I have used Ancaster Jewellers twice in the past couple years to do some work on my high-end watches. Both watches were returned in worse shape then when dropped off. The first watch was returned with a rattle inside and I was told it was like that when they received it. It cost me several hundred dollars to repair and I truly believe they swapped in a faulty piece so that they could sell me a full servicing. The second visit I only need some minor work done and the watch was returned with countless number of scratches and dings. This piece is so special to me it brought tears to my eyes. Joe is a great customer service representative and I'll miss my chats with him, however I will never step foot in that store again.

  • Kyle Price

I have had countless amazing experiences at Ancaster Jewellers over the last ~7 years, not only with the staff, but with Jean-Pierre directly as well. I have required a range of services from them, including watch repair, ring resizing, repair of broken and loose diamonds in an heirloom ring, as well as always being where I go to purchase my timepieces. I have also sold/traded watches to them, and that experience was fantastic as well. I simply cannot understand how others can say that their staff is rude, as I've never encountered the slightest inkling of a rude comment in my hours spent inside that store. No matter what you require, if it has to do with jewelry, I am confident that there is no other place that will beat the care and service that is provided at Ancaster Jewellers.

  • Galina Baranov

INCREDIBLY RUDE STAFF- Both the initial person I bought the ring from and after I came back to resize it. ZERO customer service. Made my whole experience extremely unpleasant. There was absolutely no reason for these people to be so rude to me other than the fact that they were disappointed that I wasn’t spending thousands in the store. I guess just under $1000 wasn’t enough for commission. The engraving and sizing was so poorly done but they refused to fix it. Very low budget store. Save your money for another place.

  • Myles Walsh

While dealing with my poor/rude customer service, I decided to scroll through the reviews. Most of them are the exact reasons you should not take your business here. Brought a watch in for polish/link removal, they try to upcharge by saying "needs full service". I declined and said I just wanted what I had asked for to be done. They then turn rude with attitude and said it doesn't make sense to have what I wanted done and to come pick up my watch. Scammers.....

  • Loren Alexander

My husband's aunt recommended I go to Ancaster Jewellers for an appraisal. The owner and staff were friendly, professional, and answered my emails quickly. The appraisal was a fair price and much less than I was expected to pay. The owner was kind enough to rush the appraisal so I didn't have to go too long without my ring since he knew the sentimental value it has for me. They even cleaned my other ring for free! Thank you Ancaster Jewellers!

  • Paul Vallentin

What a great experience. My fiancé and I could not be happier. Ancaster Jeweller took me through the entire process starting with picking the diamond, designing the ring presenting 3d printed renderings for me to view before casting. They listened to what I was looking for and were super easy to talk with. The ring turned out beautiful and was completed well within the estimated time. I would recommend everyone to come here. THANKS GUYS

  • Emily L

I have been a customer of Ancaster Jewellers for a very long time and I am always pleased with the service I receive. I recently had a ring designed by Russell (with some help from JP too) and I cannot express how happy I am with how it turned out. I trust the staff with my jewellery when needing repairs etc. and their advice. The prices are fair and their honesty always is in the customers best interest.

  • Julia Carslake

From my experience this is a brilliant jewellers. I wanted my engagement ring remade - I had a vision in mind and they executed it to perfection. Couldn’t be happier with their work. Id much rather support a small independent than shop at a large, faceless chain jewellers and not be sure if I had my stones back! Would highly recommend them. Service was friendly and efficient. Russell knows his stuff.

  • Frank St Aubin

I needed a battery replaced for my watch,as well as links removed from the band,and adjustment on closing mechanism.The watch needed a pressure test for 200 meters,and had to be sent out for this service.The watch was ready two weeks earlier than expected. Pricing was fair for work done.I have two other watches that also need batteries, Ancaster Jewellers will see me again.

  • Kelly Niessen

I brought a vintage diamond ring to this store before Christmas. We agreed they would consign it through the holidays and if it didn’t sell they would purchase it for an agreed upon price. When I went back today they were not even showing it on display and offered me $300 less than the original offer. I did not appreciate this approach.

  • Lucas Barichello

Dealing with Ancaster Jewellers has been such a great experience. I personally dealt with Russell, he explained and went through many details on the piece I bought. Ancaster Jewellers as a whole comes across as a very experienced and very professional company. I couldn’t suggest it more. Thank you Ancaster Jewellers!

  • Nick Albu

I get my watch batteries there and they are always fast and efficient. Good quality batteries too, that last longer that the cheap ones offered by other stores. It's a high end store with very nice merchandise. The door is locked for security and you have to ring the buzzer then they unlock the door remotely.

  • Olivia Kowalczyk

Did my necklace loop way to small for a standard size necklace, then went back to get it fixed. did not follow what I told them to do and took out what they originally did and charged me extra for that too. Would not recommend going here to fix jewelry. Spent almost $100 for a $20 job. Unbelievable.

  • Lynne B

I have had several heritage pieces of jewelry repaired, purchased new custom designed pieces, and off-the-shelf items. The workmanship, quality and friendly service have been very good. The only slight drawback is that repairs sometimes take a long time. But overall this is an excellent shop.

  • Judy Mast

I have been going to Ancaster Jewellers for years. I have had repairs done on jewellery. My husband and I has bought many things there. The service is always excellent. The staff is helpful and cheerful. The prices are reasonable. I highly recommend that you visit Ancaster Jewellers..

I have dealt with Ancaster Jewellers for a number of years and have to commend them on their products and services that they offer! The staff are always professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and amicable. It has always been my ‘go to’ place for great jewellery!

  • Damian Butler

Family run local business, great service. In and out in 20 minutes with a new battery and band for my father-in-law law's old watch. We don't often have call for a jeweler, but I know where our first stop will be from now on when we do! Thanks!

  • Trevor Sullivan

Great shop. Had my Movado up and running in 5 minutes with a new battery a day My royal oak running the next day. There great and I would consider them to anyone looking for a time piece issue!! And great service as well. I will always return

  • Will Cross-Bermingham

I had an excellent experience working with Russell to design an engagement ring. He is a talented designer who worked hard to meet my very tight deadline. I appreciated the store's approachable attitude, and they know their stuff!

  • Aaron Posner

JP does a fantastic job of taking my crazy ideas and making beautiful jewellery. I am always impressed by the finished job. It is wonderful being able to give individual specific little pieces of art to my little pieces of art.

  • Kelly Lyth

Excellent service in shop and on telephone. However I thought more than 4 days to repair the clasp of a Medic Alert bracelet too long - they should be done on the spot or at least take priority, as life depends on them.

  • S T

Great place to go for wedding rings! Russell re-designed an heirloom piece for my engagement ring and made a matching wedding band. The price was very reasonable for the amount of work and quality of service.

Knowledgable and friendly staff. My mother's wedding band was completely destroyed and they fixed it like new. They have a great vintage section. I would highly recommend this Jeweller.

Rude customer service. Mis-sized a ring (by 1.5 sizes) and blamed the weather for it not fitting properly. Suggested it was water retention given the rain? Offered no solution.

Extremely knowledgeable in all products. Excellent service products and support. Purchased multiple items here including vintage Cartier watches. I will be back.
