I can offer nothing but praise for Richard Dolgin! My fiancé purchased my engagement ring from Richard back in the summer and we have had the best experience working with this family-owned company since . Richard is very professional and transparent. He also has beautiful options for every price range.Richard was more than happy to answer my questions on care and maintenance of the ring. He also carefully walked us through our selection of wedding bands. I would highly recommend Richard Dolgin to anyone. I cannot stress it enough, you will not get this level and quality of service from a large jewelry chain!

I couldnt be more pleased with my experience with Richard on finding the perfect engagement ring for my fiancé. Hes very patient and is clearly trying to form meaningful and personal relationships with his customers. He helped me select a beautiful stone in my price range and never pressured me into going over my budget. Were looking forward to doing business with him in the future.

My fiancee and I highly recommend Richard Dolgin. From what my fiancee has told me, Richard made the process of creating my engagement ring easy and personal. Its a huge decision, and Richard provided helpful advice without adding any pressure. My interaction with Richard has been just as fantastic - he helped me select my dream wedding band with ease. I receive many compliments on my engagement ring, and I know our wedding bands will be no different! Thank you, Richard, for making this special time in our lives even better.

Richard Dolgin created my diamond engagement ring, matching wedding band, and the pearl/diamond necklace I wore at my wedding. For the most part, my now-husband worked with Mr. Dolgin, but in the few encounters I have had with him, he has been very helpful, honest, and kind. His shop has produced beautiful, custom pieces that are exactly what I wanted. Today, we picked up my ring after having it soldered together. After we left, my husband and I were talking about how we originally had explored other big-name jewelry stores, but are just so happy that we decided to go with Dolgin. Thank you for the beautiful pieces!

Today we are celebrating 20 years of marriage with a new wedding band for me designed and made by Richard and Marsha to compliment the ring we bought from him for our wedding. It was exactly within our budget, beautiful and elegant beyond anything we could imagine. We have always received personal attention and kindness. When I accidentally threw my wedding ring and antique aquamarine ring into silver cleaner where they sat for over 24 hours, I ran to Marsha, crying my eyes out. She produced a miracle and restored both to brand new! We appreciate the expertise, quality and price of the jewelry at Richard Dolgin’s.

Richard continues to provide excellent customer service, as he did throughout the entire custom design process. He listens, educates, and is patient and honest. His CAD designer is top in the industry, and Marsha is an incredible diamond setter, truly a master. The ring is absolutely stunning, and the new setting makes my diamond look amazing! The additional diamonds he chose are exquisite. It turned out better than I had pictured in my mind when I first described it to him. His pricing was within my budget (while competitors quotes were well above), and it was completed ahead of schedule. I couldnt have asked for a better experience.

She said yes!I recently customized an engagement ring from Richard and Marsha. Their work is beyond anything I have ever seen. They were even able to make a tight deadline fit beautifully. I recommend them above anyone else. Richard even gives you a taste of the process of ring making. Such an art form.I will definitely be using them again for future customizations.

To say that we are happy with the ring that Richard Dolgin created for us, is quite an understatement. From the start to the finish of the project, Richard & his team were very helpful and knowledgeable about every aspect & detail of the process. Richard was able to take my sketch for a design and turn it into a CAD file that was used to make a beautiful and detailed platinum wedding band for myself. With his on time delivery and guidance every step of the way, I knew that we were working with a true professional who clearly understands customer service. Thank you, Richard, you are the best.

Richard Dolgin did a wonderful job refurbishing a ring I inherited from my mother after she passed away recently. They understood the sentimental value of the piece of jewelry, and they cleaned, sized and restored it to be even more beautiful than I imagined! They went above and beyond to replace everything to how it had been originally. I will treasure this ring for the rest of my life, and pass it along to the next generation. Thank you so much for your help!

Phenomenal job. Highly recommend. The designer did a spot on job of realizing my design and making it even better. The craftswoman made a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece. And the owner helped make sure the piece was perfect, the process was easy, and fun, and helped provide information without selling.

Review №12

Richard and Marsha, I wanted to take a minute and thank you both for the ring you created for me from my moms diamond, grandmothers and my own. From day one I felt comfortable with both of you and the process you led me through. From envisioning what I really wanted, to Marshas sketches, to the cad drawing, to the final product. I am absolutely thrilled with what you created. It truly is more than I ever imagined and a treasured creation of sweet memories I can now wear and keep close to me every single day. I am so very grateful for the amazing work you do! My sincere thanks, Suzann Arseth

I recently sold a diamond solitaire. Richard was the first person I consulted. He was kind, honest, and he gave me a very fair offer. He was confident enough to tell me his offer would be the highest but I was free to consult other buyers. I shopped the diamond to five other buyers. Richards bid was the highest by a significant amount. Another buyer offered to match Richards bid (after I told them the amount of his bid) but I returned to sell the diamond to Richard due to his honesty on the initial bid. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone buying or selling gems or jewelry.

I went to Richard Dolgin Private Jeweler to search for an engagement ring after doing some shopping at various jewelers in the area. He made it a very low pressure, personal experience and was very respectful of my budget. I really appreciated his patience and willingness to educate and explain to me each of my options. The result was a high quality engagement ring that turned out better than we had imagined. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Review №15

Richard did a fantastic job for us. Richard took a diamond from my mom, and placed it on a ring for my wife. And he also took a family heirloom diamond and a classic platinum ring from my mom, and made a beautiful ring for my daughter. The ring had to be completely rebuilt. And in talking to other jewelers, there are not many jewelers who could have done this work. Both of my girls are very pleased with the beautiful work that Richard and Marsha did for us. I would highly recommend Richard and Marsha at Dolgins!

Richard was wonderful to work with when I came in to sell some unwanted jewelry. He treated me with respect and honesty, which I didnt find when getting bids from other jewelers. I was able to get a fair price and would certainly return to sell or buy from him in the future.

Review №17

We truly enjoyed working with Richard and Marsha on some recent jewelry purchases. Theyve helped me and my fiance with custom, new jewelry and repairing a vintage ring. Both turned out better than we could have imagined! Richard spent a lot of one-on-one time with us to be sure we were happy with the results and stayed within our budget. We will be returning for any of our future jewelry needs!

Review №18

After losing my wedding ring during a c-section with my son, my husband and I were devastated. We found Richard, and decided to go with him to help design my new ring. We couldnt have made a better choice! He was patient, and listened to what we wanted. He showed us many different options to help us make our final decision. It was easy to schedule an appointment with him and he worked in a timely manner. Most of all, he worked with us to get us exactly what we wanted. Patient, helpful, and generous! His jewelry is beautiful, and of the best quality! We will definitely be going back to Richard over and over for our jewelry needs. As much as I was sad to lose my original wedding ring, my new one from Richard is so beautiful, that it makes up for the loss!

Review №19

Absolutely incredible craftsmanship! For years, I have had an affinity for sunflowers. Theres a bit of religious symbolism in the sunflower for me, so my fiance decided he wanted to make me a sunflower engagement ring. It was quite a challenge considering the detail that needed to fit on my tiny finger (size 5) without overpowering it. Marsha and Richard were up for the design challenge though. Every petal is uniquely shaped 14K yellow gold, with a weaving flower stem band and seven pave diamonds for the center seeds. It is stunning. And pictures dont even do it justice because it loses the glitter effect that the collection of diamonds have. The wedding band took just as much talent! Marsha had to create a shadow band that organically wrapped the back side of the flower and band with these itty bitty, beautiful diamonds. Quite the feat! I am beyond wowed by their work and the generosity of my fiance to make this unique ring come true. And! they are wonderful people. We loved collaborating on the design with them. Will definitely be coming back to them for any other custom jewelry design challenges!

I wrote Richard an email after 13 years of marriage when we lost our engagement ring. He replied same day, tracked down the original creator, and found an exact copy of our original ring. Even after nine years line had been canceled. He helped me to select a replacement stone, and had the new ring ready for a surprise Christmas day reveal.We only own three pieces of real jewelry which my wife proudly wears daily. Richard has guided me education, purchase, and now replacement. He has my trust and I can easily recommend him.I can now say with direct experience his estimates are spot on, service is stellar, professional and reasonable. He seeks long term customers and I am honored to do business with him!

I went to see Mr. Dolgin as I had some jewelry that I was no longer in need of and wishing to sell. Prior to my visit, I had received a few estimates regarding its value which was presented at the time of my appointment. Mr. Dolgin went above and beyond my expectations and was incredibly fair and more than reasonable in his offer. It was an absolutely incredible experience, one where I was at ease. Mr. Dolgin did not hassle or haggle me in and when Im in the market to make a purchase again, the only place Ill be shopping is at Richard Dolgins - say goodbye to the middle man pricing :)

Richard Dolgin and his team created an incredible life experience for me that hopefully my wife will now carry forever. As background, I have been married for 17 years, however my wife lost her engagement solitaire diamond ring unexpectedly. I researched and discovered Richard Dolgins Private Jeweler in an effort to recreate the exact ring lost. Indeed, Richard and his team did that very thing for me. It was a relaxed, no pressure experience and I felt comfortable from the time I walked into his facility. I recommend this business for any jewelry needs. The business is honest, informative and avoids the markups associated with chain jewelry stores. Thank you Richard. We will meet again and I call you a friend.

Review №23

Richard Dolgin was absolutely the best place we could have gone for our wedding jewelry!! I found him when searching for someone to make a custom engagement ring, and he worked with my fiancé to build a gorgeous and completely unique ring, exactly as I wanted! I love when people see my ring and say wow Ive never seen one like that before! :) Richard was professional and easy to work with, and his pieces are breathtakingly beautiful. He is also great at working inside your budget. We just left from picking up my sapphire and diamond wedding bands and I couldnt be happier. This was the best choice of our wedding planning process! Support a local family jeweler and go with Dolgin!

Review №25

Richard made the experience of buying an engagement ring both pleasant and personal. This want just a sale to him. Richard sought to honestly understand what I wanted the ring to convey, and he provided education, guidance, and passion to the process of deciding which ring Id ultimately place on my fiancées finger.I never felt hurried or pressured. Quite the contrary, Richard insisted I take time to consider my options. And in the end, the phenomenal antique setting and stone he and Marsh put together for me was, in a word, perfect.I recommend the Dolgin experience without hesitation and I intend to do business with Richard for many years to come.

Review №26

I cannot recommend Richard Dolgin jewelers nearly enough. I had a custom engagement ring made, it turned out beautifully, and he kept me informed every step of the way. He was extremely accommodating and respectful of my budget, and found me a wonderful stone for the right price.

Review №27

Fantastic experience! Richard met with my fiance and I and provided us with exactly what we asked for while providing valuable knowledge, ideas, and inspiration. I would never go to anyone else. He is a true professional that cares more about establishing relationships with his clients and ensuring that they get exactly what they need, as opposed to making a quick sale. I highly recommend working with Richard.

Review №28

You have found the BEST, kindest, knowledgeable artisans, Richard and Marsha; in the entire Midwest region, especially KS and MO. For me, if a jeweler states something needs to be done to keep my rings strong and beautiful, I take their word for it, they are the expert. About a year ago I had taken my 47 year old wedding rings to be re tipped in a little MO town that I had heard about on the radio. After 2 unsuccessful trips to his shop, I decided I must retrieve my rings although I had paid for the poorly done repairs. He then rudely spoke behind my back while I left. My rings left his shop with porosity on the tips now. Since porosity makes tips weaker, I was devastated! I now could NOT safely wear my beloved rings. I researched porosity and thankfully found Richard and Marsha who have the experience, knowledge and correct equipment. You will be sooooo happy when you call/meet them. They are super people to work with and feel like friends the first time you see them!

Richard and Marsha did an AMAZING job on my engagement ring, wedding band and necklace. It was such a fun experience taking my mothers diamonds and custom making new jewelry that I will have forever!

Years ago my parents did business with Dolgin Jewler and I was thrilled to see that the family business is still available. I brought in a design and worked with Marsha and Richard to come up with the most unique and beautiful necklace. It is beyond my expectations of perfect. It is rare to find professionals that want to hear your ideas and provide you with outstanding customer service, although working with them is more like working with friends.I highly recommend Dolgin Jeweler as trusted professional craftsman and look forward to working with them in the future.

Review №31

I have absolutely nothing but praise for the experience my fiance and I had with Richard and Marsha. We explained our ideas for an engagement and wedding bands as well as our budget, using his expertise, Richard was able to show us many styles and examples until we found precisely what we were looking for. This was a highly professional, personalized experience without the snobbery or pressure from other outlets. We will always recommend Mr. Dolgin to our friends and family.

Review №32

The Dolgin crew built an absolutely phenomenal engagement ring, including finding us an incredibly stunning Asscher-cut diamond. It was all built virtually using their cad-cam platform to get down to an incredible level of detail before casting. The end result was perfection. Were already back in touch to source wedding bands.

Review №33

The work may be fantastic but Mr. Dolgins interpersonal skills leave much to be desired. I was greeted at the door with a frown. After a minute or two of looking at my ring, he told me he was not interested in taking on maintence or inspection of rings not purchaced from him. He explained his perfectly reasonable policy of not touching jewelry he himself had not sold (soldering, modification). I then asked if he would take a minute of his time to locate the GIA inscription on the girdle of the stone so I could confirm the correct stone was sent. He did not want to and made it clear that they were very busy & left the impression that I was not worth his time. It is a shame he left no room for future business, for example suggesting the stone could be reset into a setting of their design when they were not so busy.When I explained how I felt in a reasonable manner (my 2 year old son was on my hip) he raised his voice and blustering repeated their policy. I admonished him for raising his voice in front of my child where he then proceeded to childishly state that he did not in a very unbecoming tone.Overall our interaction was disturbing and I left on the verge of tears. Sad as I was so excited to meet him & was looking forward to forging a relationship with a new independent jeweler as ours has retired. Shame, my families future business is certainly not going to be with him and we love our bling!I look forward to finding a jeweler with better people skills.A week later.....For shame ,Much like the beautiful gems he works with, only appearances matter. Apparently honesty with himself is also not his strong suit. My well behaved unsupervised son sat in the chair next to me or in my lap the entirety of our visit. He was never given the opportunity to wander much like Mr. Dolgins reply implies. He reached for a crystal candy vessel once and was calmly rediredcted by me &  then transfered to my lap thereafter.I was very careful to not let him touch any glass display to avoid fingerprints.His response is a poor attempt to deflect blame for his unprofessional outburst.Update: I found an amazing jewler who is designing me a new custom engagement ring & wedding band. There are jewelers in the Kansas city area with better people skills.

Quality Jewelry is an Art, an investment and, Yes, its expensive, so you need to have good advice from someone who really understands it. Anyone in Kansas City will recognize the Dolgins Brand.While the rest of the world is now focused on the Big Box Stores and bargain prices, The Dolgin Family pioneered it and Richard decided, I think, that Personalized Service and Quality was more important than volume.Whether you need an appraisal or an amazing design, this should be your first stop when it comes to spending lots of money on Jewelry.

Review №36

After taking my grandmothers original wedding ring to another jeweler in the area, I was very discouraged, as I was told nothing could be done to restore the piece due to its age and fragility. I took a chance and brought the ring to Dolgins and am so pleased that I did. Richard first looked at the ring and expressed concerns about the piece, not wanting me to pay for repairs on a ring I would still not be able to wear - honesty I truly appreciated. Marsha was able to come up with a plan, however, and, because of it, I have the honor of wearing a 60+ year old family heirloom that otherwise would have stayed in a box. I will continue to recommend this jeweler over and over.

Review №37

We brought in my fiancees engagement ring and wedding band, initially, to just be replated and adjusted. However, after Richard and Marsha examined them it needed a lot more work. I had an heirloom set thats over 50 years old, and needed so much more TLC. So we let Marsha do her magic to them, at ease that they were going to do an awesome job. A week and a half later (a week ahead of schedule), we got a phone call from them that the rings are ready for pick up. The rings looked beautiful, even more beautiful than we remembered leaving it. Great work, awesome service!

Here is a note I sent to Richard after completing a new Ring for my wife and the repair of her wedding ring. I couldnt be happier with the service that Richard provides and I will be back to see him when I am in the market for Jewelry again.Richard I just wanted to send you a quick note and tell you and Marsha both thank you so much for your help with my wifes new ring and the repair of her other one. When I arrived home on Saturday, after visiting with you, I gave her both rings and I have been catching her staring at them several times since that time. It makes me smile. She loves them both. The new one is beautiful and her old one is like a brand new ring to her now. It is so much more sparkly than before. I just wanted to say thank you and let you know, though I dont often buy jewelry, when the opportunity presents itself I will be back.--jeff

Mr. Dolgin is allowed me to make a unique piece of jewelry and offered his advice when needed. Other stores limit your options to what is shown in their cases, whereas Dolgins Jewelry you can walk in with an image in mind and he will match that. It was a great experience to work with him, and the quality of the final product was exactly what I wanted. Highly recommended.

I came to Richard with the task of making a ring for my fiancé, who is an artist herself with very unique taste. I thought that I was being very picky and annoying, but they made me feel very welcome and dealt with me every step of the way. Worked with me until I saw exactly what I was looking for. My fiancé was stunned with how beautiful it is. In all, it was a pleasure dealing with Richard Dolgin.

My fiance and I are thrilled to report we received the most extraordinary artistic and skillful services from Richard Dolgin and his masterful designer, Marsha, in connection with having our beautiful custom wedding jewelry designed, crafted, & serviced, and arranging for my fiances half-century old Rolex watch to be thoroughly repaired, cleaned, and serviced. Richard also provided written appraisals on all pieces for insurance purposes.In our view, these two professionals are unparalleled in terms of the quality personal care and advice they offer the customer. Their considerable abilities and experience, along with the surprising affordability of their products and services, clearly distinguish Dolgins from the many average jewelers in the area. They have certainly earned our highest recommendation!

Review №44

I was in search of a company to purchase an engagement ring and in my online search found Dolgins. I had a previous very poor experience with a big box jeweler and knew I wanted something different and better. I can say my experience at Dolgins was very different than any other jeweler I have previously encountered. Richard and his team really made me in charge of this purchase from the design, picking the diamond, as well as the time line. Their communication was on point as I was made aware if there were any problems or delays in the custom engagement ring process. I really felt like he was looking out for my best interests. They actually sent the casting back to be re-cast because after polishing the initial casting the results did not meet their expectations. I could not be happier with my purchase, experience, and overall quality that Richard and his team brought to my purchase. I will be returning with my fiance to discuss wedding band options. Thank you Richard!

Review №46

Based off the information supplied for his buying jewelry I came in to see about selling our rings. It is nothing like they describe online. No consultation or added advice as stated. Simply an incredibly insulting lowball offer. $450 for a ring last appraised 8 years ago when the market was bad for $6k. Hmmmm what a waste of time. FYI he also claims my .74 carat solitare was .4 carats. Buyers and sellers BEWARE!

You wont find a better jeweler than Dolgins, & you will get exactly what you want ... since he designs / constructs / orders custom pieces. The experience was absolutely great, he designed & produced an engagement ring for me from a photo I supplied him. And, in the words of my fiancée its perfect.The level of professionalism & the service was unparalleled - a much better experience than shopping at a chain jewelry store. I absolutely will not go anywhere else for fine jewelry.Richard truly cares that youre 100% satisfied with the jewelry & you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. You just wont find anyone with the knowledge & passion he has anywhere else.2 Notes: 1 - this isnt a display case jewelry store & 2 - dont shy away if you think custom jewelry is out of your price range ... theyll make it work for you.
