William Effler Jewelers

The selection here is very impressive. They have a large selection of all kinds of jewelry: diamonds and gemstones, rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, etc. As far as the gifts, they have a lot of porcelain figures, as well as some nice baby gifts, clocks, and Waterford Crystal items, among other things. Overall, William Effler Jewelers is a very good store, and being that it is a long-standing local business makes it that much better. more

Great selection and very frendly staff. more

My husband had a ring of my grandmothers turned into the most beautiful necklace at William Effler. I never wore her ring because I had my own, and I hated just looking at it on my jewelry box. For our anniversary he custom designed the necklace, I almost passed out when I realized it was my grandmothers ring. more

William Effler is my favorite store in Cincinnati- not just because of the wonderful jewelry they carry, but especially because of the wonderful owners. Adam is always there with a helpful opinion and time to chat. You all have been a pleasure to work with and it makes shopping here even better. more

It is hard to believe it has been 4 years since I first visited this store and fell in love. Yes, 4 years have passed with many beautiful gifts purchased, which means I am very happy and my friends and family are too. Needless to say, I am more than grateful for William Effler Jewelers. more

I came here to get my watch repaired a few weeks ago. It was originally my father’s watch and had been sitting in my sock drawer for years. I did not think they would even be able to repair it because I tried to get it repaired years ago and they told me it was trash. A few days later they called to tell me the watch was ready! I could not believe it, and I am very grateful. more

William Effler had the cheapest out of 3 different stores that I called to get a rare watch battery replaced. They were very fast and helpful as well. more

I got the most beautiful Christmas present for my mother. The bracelet was so nice and it was a great price. more

William Effler is hands down on the best jewelers in Cincinnati. I have purchased a few different pieces from here ranging in all prices. I think the price is usually fair and the help is also really good. The repairs are amazing- like getting a new piece of jewelry but with nostalgia. more

The store is really nice and in a great location (at least for me). I have had a watch repaired here but most recently I went in for a anniversary present for my wife. I usually have great service but this time the sales girl was clueless and had to get someone else to help me. Maybe it was her first day? Either way I will still shop here, best jewelers in town. more

For my husbands birthday, I got his grandfathers watch repaired. I went to a few different jewelers in the area. Effler was not the cheapest, but I was very impressed with the store and the kindness I was shown when I was there. The salesman told me they have a watchmaker on staff with over 20 years experience. With that, I was sold. I also had them engrave the watch along with the repair. It took less then a week to get it back. Imagine the shock and joy my husband expressed when he saw his birthday present. more

Took my wife's engagement and wedding bands in to get the fused and cleaned up, as well as my own band to have it bumped up a 1/4 size. A lot of the jewelers along Wabash have a bit of a shady feel to them, but William Effler was very clean and well put together. I brought the rings in around 1pm and they were done by 5pm. That's some super fast server. They even polished and re-brushed (brushed metal finish) my ring. Highly recommended. more

Next month is mine and my wife's 7 year wedding anniversary so I decided to visit William Effler Jewelers. I wanted to come up with something original to get her so me and the sales woman came up with a custom made ring with our 2 kids birth stones, my birth stone and her birth stone set in 24k yellow gold with a matching necklace. The cost for both was really good. Thank you for the extra help you all provided me! I know she will love it!! more

I bought my girlfriend the perfect engagement ring here. It was a 2k princess cut diamond set in white gold. When I proposed she saw the ring and started crying. She said yes and I am now her most favorite guy in the world!! more

I absolutely LOVE this store! I love the uniqueness of it. You can't find jewelry like this in commercial-type stores. I definitely think the other reviewer had a language barrier/cultural differences. My experiences were flawless and can't wait to get the chance to go back. more

Don't be intimidated by their massive granite storefront--the people inside are warm and friendly and incredibly helpful no matter what your business is. I brought in my handmade engagement ring to be sized down, and the woman who helped me treated me like I brought in the Koh-i-Noor. Their repair shop will do anything, from fine jewelry to handmade jewelry to watch batteries. I don't have experience with purchasing from them, but after such a great experience with the repair shop I think I may go back for wedding bands. more

I stumbled upon this place maybe 2-3 years ago. I love that there's a wide range of things to pick and choose from. If you're like me who likes simple pieces, you can find some here. Or if you like bold jewelry, there's plenty of that too. more

Most recently I purchased a beautiful necklace for my friends birthday. Its a stunning combination of stones including peridot, garnet, carnelian and pearls. The colors exactly match the flowers she had at her wedding and the craftsmanship is immaculate. Whatever colors, stones or style of jewellery you like, William Effler has something for literally everyone. more

All I gotta say is that, thanks to this place, I'm now rocking a fabulous, huge rock (*not* a diamond, thank-you-very-much!) set in recycled 18k gold (provided by me)! It's gorgeous and no one else in the world has anything exactly like it! Bling Bling! :D more

I took my fiancé’s engagement ring to William Effler Jewelers to get resized. When we dropped it off to get the estimate, the ring still had some string on it so she could wear it. The employee proceeded to put the ring on the mandrel to see what size the ring was currently at, and how much it would have to be resized. She pressed the ring hard down the mandrel to try to get a reading from the mandrel. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, as we are not jewelry people. We left to come back the next day to hear the estimate. My fiancé returned to pick up the ring and was told by the employee that it was cracked in two places. My fiancé put the ring on her finger and it was more than cracked, it was broken. The ring no longer made a complete circle, and there was a piece hanging open. The employee did not apologize, but quoted a price for what it would cost to fix. My fiancé was shocked and didn’t know what to do. She had to ask for an envelope to put the ring in, as she couldn’t wear it and left to find me. I returned the next day as they were closed by the time I saw the ring. I talked to the manager and asked him about it. In describing to him what happened, he stopped me and asked, “She put it on the mandrel with the string on it?” I replied that she did. He said that he would talk to the jeweler who made the estimate and the employee whom we dealt with previously. Twenty minutes later he called me and proceeded to tell me how the ring was old and had been resized twice previously and had a very thin shank. I told him I wasn’t pleased that a piece of jewelry that I dropped off as a ring, came back broken. Then I was told that it did not leave his store broken, simply cracked in two places as the jeweler had said. I asked if he was calling my fiancé a liar, and he said he wasn’t, but he was sure that the ring wasn’t broken when she left the jewelry store. (!!) I brought my fiancé to the store and he said the same thing to her face. I’m convinced that the manager simply made a business decision and decided he had nothing to gain by fixing the ring as I was never going to go there again after he fixed it. This is true that I would never go there again, even if he did fix the ring. But I think this shows how little this store values customer service, not to mention integrity and honesty. Do not patronize this store, you will be sorry. more
