A friend recommended Gilger and I had an engagement ring designed and made there and the process was so much easier than I would have imagined. It seemed like it would be overwhelming, and Justin made the process simple.So easy to work with. They’re very talented artists/jewelers.“She said yes by the way*And we also had our wedding bands made there and were very pleased with the results!

I had been dreaming up an idea for my mothers ring & Gilger Designs did amazing work making that dream come to life!! Im completely obsessed & had so much fun with the process!

Called ahead to find out if the store sized fingers for rings and was told they did and it would be free. When I arrived I explained the same things as I did on the phone only to be interrogated on the specifics of my graduation ring to eventually be denied. Staff was curt and unprofessional while also giving out inaccurate information from a call. Would not recommend using them for sizing or purchasing from if staff is that combative even when offered to pay for the sizing.

From marriage twenty years ago to our final installmentAbove & Beyond our wildest dreams.Design uniquely exquisite.I LOVE every ring Gilgers placed on our five fingers.We think of you daily!

From my badly drawn sketch.... a masterpiece! Thank you. Also, I appreciate a family owned/operated business.

I worked with all the wonderful people at Gilger to have a custom engagement/wedding ring designed. They were all so helpful in the process and willing to work with my ideas, wants, and budget. You will feel very supported and cared about during your time there, it’s almost like working with family. I can’t say enough good things about them and I plan to go back for any jewelry needs in the future!

I cannot say enough positive things about Gilger Designs! When my partner wanted a non-traditional wedding band the folks at Gilger talked us through different metals and finishes and helped us pick out the perfect band. When my late mothers wedding ring split after a previous resizing with another jeweler, they fixed it within 2 days and it looked better than it did initially! So incredibly friendly and talented!!

Great customer service no doubt

Amazing place run by wonderful people. I went in with some ideas for my wedding ring and they created exactly what I was looking for. It truly is a piece of art and one of a kind. I would recommend Gilger Designs for anyone looking for unique jewelry and artwork.

WoW!!......A couple weeks ago, I took my family diamonds in to Gilger Designs to see if they could follow a drawing I had done on paper for an heirloom ring. No one else seemed to be able to do it. Justin was not only able to accommodate what I wanted, but he added his own expertise to make this ring even more exquisite then I could imagine. Took my breath away when I saw it in the black box.If you have not visited this family business, you’re missing out on this great gem of Ames.The artwork by Mike in their store is beautiful and mesmerizing. Everyone in this family business is warm and welcoming, even their dog, unless she’s policing the shop when closed.

I have worked with Gilger for years. They have designed and fabricated several pieces for me over those years. I enjoy their creativity and professionalism. From design to finished product they keep you informed and explain the whole process. Alway an enjoyable experience.

Highly recommend. Justin did any amazing job creating my engagement ring. He was able to create exactly what I had envisioned allowing me to add changes without any problems. The over the top customer service will have us returning for all of our jewelry needs.

We went to Gilger Design for my engagement ring and band. They were great to work with and every thing turned out beautiful. The ring was unique to what I wanted and they created a band to fit that vision as well. The whole family is usually in there with a warm welcome!

Great service, great work

When it came time to have a ring made for my wife I decided to go to Gilger Designs. Mike is extremely talented and did a fantastic job. The ring is very unique, well made and definitely one of a kind. My wife gets comments on it all the time. I highly recommend everyone to go to Gilger Designs for anyone thinking about getting a custom designed and unique ring!

My fiancé went to Gilger Designs and we couldnt have been happier. It was exactly what I wanted. We live in New York City so the service was excellent and they were really flexible and patient with us. We would absolutely recommend Gilger Designs to anyone that wants great quality and a fun, professional experience!

My fiancé and I had our ring designed by Gigler Designs. They did an excellent job matching exactly what we had in mind and suggested helpful feedback. They created a wax mold from our requests, in which helped us make small adjustments on the design of the overall ring. They were very helpful picking out our diamond and we are in love with finished product! I would definitely refer them to another couple!!

Ive known Justin and MJ Gilger since high school so this was the first place I thought of when I was looking for an engagement ring. From the moment I walked in the store the whole staff (which is a whole-family operation!) was completely supportive and helpful. Mike Gilger crafted the ring I wanted with his own hands and my fiance absolutely loves it. Awesome service and craftsmanship, and a cool store too filled with art!

Wonderful family-run local business whos patience and attention to detail resulted in affordable elegance which my fiancé is delighted with. Thanks for the beautiful hand-crafted ring Justin!

I have always had an excellent experience with Gilger Designs. Everything was so easy and Judy Gilger is so nice to work with! My custom designed jewelry set gets so many compliments! I also always get free cleaning anytime I stop by. I have even recommenrd my friends from out of sstate to work with the Gilger family. This is truly a family business that strives to make their customers HAPPY!
