Yesterday I picked up a ring that Michael crafted for me from a ring and bracelet. I could not be happier. I was actually emotional when I saw the ring as both pieces were special to me but I hadn’t wore them in a very long time. The service in VanHorns is exceptional. Everyone who works there are kind and knowledgeable. I will be a repeat customer.Thank you so much to Michael and the VanHorn team.
I would like to thank everyone at Van Horn jewelers, they are all so kind and helpful, and patient! I also had Michael work with me to put my mothers engagement ring diamond on here wedding band to make a ring for me. He is so pleasant to talk with, Van Horns will make you feel very welcome and comfortable, thankyou!
Fantastic business! Steves assistance and advice was incredibly helpful in my engagement ring shopping process. The store is extremely organized and clean!Living 2.5hrs away from the store was of no consequence as its a pleasure to give business to folks who run a business like this. Highly recommend, thank you!
We had the most wonderful experience at Van Horn. We feared we would be shopping for wedding bands for months, going store to store to pin down the perfect quality and style. Instead on our first visit, we found exactly what we were looking for with help from the amazing staff. Everyone was attentive but not overbearing, knowledgeable and encouraging. It was a beautiful experience to have getting rings we’ll wear forever and will fondly remember Javin and his family’s help. Their jewelry throughout the store is so sophisticated and curated with great taste. We will be getting more special pieces there throughout the coming decades I’m sure.
I very rarely do reviews. Skip and his fellow coworkers made this a very informative relaxing, and confident feeling throughout this repair of my fiancees engagement ring. Thank you so much! I cant see myself going anywhere else but Van Horns for future purchases of jewelry of any kind!
I brought two rings into Van Horn Jewelers to be resized.They took great care in measuring and documenting each ring. Both rings had delicate stones and they gave me the option of having them sent out where they could be resized without having the stones removed. Both rings came back a week earlier than the estimated time. Both rings came back with the stones in perfect condition and the perfect size for my finger. Everyone there is so friendly and professional.
This is our “go to” place for jewelry in the Southern Tier. The staff is very knowledgeable, courteous and patient (no high pressure sales) with a great in-house selection. The prices are very competitive with other jewelers in the area. Being a family owned business, they really take pride in everything they sell, including complementary cleaning and other services well after the purchase. They treat you like family from the time you walk in the door! We have never been disappointed shopping here, hence a 5 star review.
Jill took care of us personally on all visits. I took a 76 year young woman into get her wedding ring and band fixed. It was shipped out and when we picked it up, it looked newer than 60 years ago. This lady was so happy and excited. She was all smiles. Jill helped us by having this lady sit in the comfortable chair and brought items to her. She purchased a beautiful locket. She tried to purchase a bracelet. Jill had to order a larger one. She let her know, they did not have her size, BUT would keep on the look out for one that will fit. They go above and beyond. I love their quick responses and honesty. We will be back!!!!Thank you.
Van Horn Jewelers are experts when it comes to jewelry repair. My detailed specifications were noted so that the desired results were assured. Their express option is a wonderful service, and I had my jewelry back the same day. They did a beautiful job! Also, everyone there is so friendly and attentive, and even took the time to show me around the store. I highly recommend Van Horn Jewelers.
Outstanding customer service and craftsmanship. Had a set of vintage wedding rings re-sized, you would never guess they were 100 years or more old, look brand new. Also picked up an everyday wedding band, staff was extremely helpful. Have 2 other rings being adjusted/repaired, cant wait to get them back as well.Highly recommend Van Horn Jewelers for quality and customer experience.
I went in to see about getting my mothers wedding ring set cleaned and checked out. Discovered legitimate repairs that needed to be made, one of them unforeseeable until it had been taken apart. Am so glad I had this work done and that I chose Van Horns; they are truly ethical and they care!
Van Horn Jewelers is a hometown fine jewelry store with upscale service and quality. They have been grounded in the community for as long as I can remember. I have been a patron since I was able to purchase my own jewelry! Their staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and timely. Jill and Skip always go out of their way to make sure you are happy and satisfied with your purchases. Will always continue to go back!
This was our first visit to Van Horn Jeweler. We decided to come here to look for wedding bands and were impressed with the entire experience from the beginning. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and they have a solid knowledge of what they have in each case. We came back to have the bands engraved and then finally just picked them up. We worked with the owner, Skip, and he was very friendly and helpful the entire time with picking up our rings. He talked to us about the warranty on the rings and even putting us on a call list for routine checkup on the rings and cleaning. Thank you to the entire staff for helping us make our wedding that much more special!
I absolutely love Van Horn Jewelers in Owego! The family that runs the business are truly good people who care deeply for their customers. When you’re there they make you feel as if you are a part of their family. The quality of the jewelry is top notch and their prices are so reasonable. It’s so nice to be able to shop at a family owned business in such a quaint town where you can trust the employees. I have purchased countless items for myself, family and friends from Van Horns and plan to continue to do so in the future!
I would never shop any place other than Van Horn Jewelers. First and foremost I believe in supporting local businesses but more than that, you will never meet two nicer people than Jill and Skip, who own the business. Integrity is something hard to find these days, especially in business practices but in a situation I had, where I needed to return a piece of jewelry, Skip was not only sympathetic to my situation but he treated me more than fairly, even to the point of calling me after a couple of years had gone by to let me know that the setting I had returned, had sold and that he was sending me a check. I would highly recommend this store for all of your fine jewelry, as well as many other unique item purchases. My parents always shopped there when Skips parents ran the business and I am so very happy to continue on with this tradition!
I needed my silver with turquoise gemstone ring resized. It was created by Spirit Piece (online) using some of my sons remains. I had the pleasure of meeting two women at VanHorns, both were extremely friendly and helpful. Neither passed judgement or questioned me when I told them about this ring and how special it was. Initially I was told it could take a few weeks for the ring to be returned since they send out their resizing’s. She also informed me she could put a rush on it but it may have up to a $30. fee. I was pleasantly surprised when I was called within a week for pick up with no additional cost. The ring was too small for the finger it was sized for. I tried it on another finger and it’s perfect. Thank you for taking such good care of us. Mary Gioe
My husband, Corey, and I have had wonderful experiences working with Van Horn Jewelers! Corey bought my gorgeous engagement ring there in October 2016. This was not to my knowledge, as he pulled off a surprise Christmas Eve proposal! We had never discussed rings, and he had no idea what I liked. Van Horn Jewelers was very helpful in assisting Corey pick out the perfect ring! They were friendly, professional, and patient with his purchase. He stopped in several times before choosing the perfect ring! It really is perfect! Van Horn is always willing to clean and inspect my ring at any time. We also bought my wedding band at Van Horn Jewelers. It is the matching band to the engagement ring. The service on this purchase was also exceptional! The set is gorgeous, and I couldn’t be happier! Their merchandise is high quality, and they put extra effort in making sure their customers are well taken care of and satisfied. We would definitely recommend Van Horn Jewelers to any one looking to buy special jewelry! Corey’s grandparents and parents have been doing business with Van Horn Jewelers for years, and I’m so glad he followed in their footsteps in choosing such a fantastic jeweler!
I went in to have my wifes rings cleaned and to have a new ring sized. They noticed the prongs on the diamond were getting loose. I had them size the one ring and fix the prongs on the diamond, and they look better than ever. Great people work there, no pressure , best selection in the area. They always have what we are looking for, at a great price. A great place to shop in Owego!
Simply the best! They were so kind and professional. They have beautiful pieces. I will definitely be back!I went to Van Horn Jewelers to get a Christmas gift for my daughter. They went above and beyond to allow me to get the perfect necklace for my daughter. Thank you so much Van Horn Jewelers! I recommend you to anyone looking for jewelery. You are the best!
I had a ring given to me by a family member, every time she wore it I would fall more in love with the ring. Her husband had passed away, she called me up one day and asked if I would come visit. Of course I did go over and we had a wonderful time talking about old times. Then she handed me this gift bag and said I have a little something for you, I opened it and there was the beautiful ring I always admired. I started to tear up she said she wanted someone to have that would love it like I did, I was so very honored. The next day I took it in to Van Horns Jewelers to have it checked. Skip looked at it and said I think my dad made this ring, I told him the story and then he knew for sure as his dad and Ken Wolf were great friends. I was afraid to wear it all the time but Skip said to wear it and enjoy it. I looked at it one day and noticed a stone missing I was devastated and felt like I let Jeana down. I went to Van Horns to have it fixed, it didnt take very long, but I just didnt have the money right then to get it out. They were very patient with me waiting so long before picking it up. When I did pick it up oh my gosh, it looked like a brand new ring, you would never have known where it was fixed, Mike did a fantastic job. All the workers treat you so kindly and professionally, I would recommend them for all your jewelry repair and purchase. Thank you Van Horns Jewelers.
I recently took 2 rings to VanHorn’s to see how we could make them into more modern, functional pieces. I sat with designer M. Husted for less than an hour and he sketched some options and these 2 pieces were redesigned into a beautiful pair of earrings. All of my questions were answered in a timely manor as we tweaked the look. When I finally saw the finished product, I was elated! The size of the earrings, stone settings, and look were exactly what I wanted.We have done business with VanHorn Jewelers for many years and we will keep going back!
Van Horn Jewelers went above and beyond in helping me this morning. I brought three items in to their store to be fixed and to my surprise, they were able to do it on the spot vs me having to leave the items for repair and make another trip to their store. The young lady that waited on me was extremely professional and very friendly. When it was time for me to pay for my repairs, she asked if she could update my information in their computer. She said the store recently started mailing out a coupon to their customers in their birthday month and even though my birthday was in September, they gave me a very nice discount. This is a “nicety” that in today’s world is rarely seen. Going forth, I will be visiting Van Horn’s more often.
Van Horns will always have my business! Every person that works there is helpful, kind, and responsive. They genuinely want to help you find exactly what you need/want. The selection is vast and they’re always getting new products in. They have a great selection of affordable jewelry and high quality pieces.
Van Horn Jewelers is a gem!They have a great selection of contemporary and classic jewelry in all price ranges. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Ive been going there for the last six or seven years and always find something nice. Definitely worth the trip.
Had to have my wedding ring repaired. Jill, Skip and team were fantastic. From the time I walked in I was treated like family. They made sure to have the ring the right size and the quality of the repair was perfect. Great place for all your jewelry needs. ( and ask for some fresh baked cookies when your there!!)
Update 5/7/19: Once again, everyone is personable from the moment you walk in the door. The service and attention to detail is above and beyond. The items selected are first quality and the customer service is amazing. Hands down better than any other local jewelry store.Kristen was amazing and very personable!!! She went above and beyond to find the perfect ring. She was incredible to work with, caring, and patient. I would highly recommend Van Horn Jewelers they are an amazing local jeweler who cares about a clients satisfacton! And on top of that the quickest sizing!!!highly recommend 🙂👍
The folks at Van Horn are knowledgeable and so nice! It makes no difference if you are looking at $5000 rings or dropping off a $20 repair, you get the same treatment here. Their prices are terrific, they have an amazing collection of beautiful things in all price ranges, and their designer is so very talented! We have never found any other local jeweler who can do all of the above. We will be customers for life! We love the staff at Van Horn!
Im not a big jewelry person, but when I need something of quality I come to Van Hornes. They are a local business that supports my community and are wonderful to deal with. When I walk into the store I feel as though I am the most important customer in there. The staff is always helpful and very friendly. The quality of their jewelry is above par.
I have had nothing but great experiences when purchasing from Van Horn Jewelers. I made a day trip to pick out my fiancé’s engagement ring and was not disappointed!! They really enjoy what they do and were so engaged in the process when picking out the ring and diamond. They made sure that I was involved in the entire process and allowed me to enjoy this experience. Just ordered my fiancé and my wedding rings! Van Horn Jewelers treats you like family and had excellent customer service! They have a customer for life.
This year I purchased one of my husbands Christmas gifts here and every single person I encountered was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! The selection, quality and prices are by far better than any other jewelers I have done business with in the past. In me, they have earned a customer for life and if you havent already done so, visit Van Horn Jewelers and find out for yourself!
Had a great experience with Van Horn Jewelers for buying an engagement ring! The staff (especially Skip the owner) were the most honest, friendly and easy to work with of all the jewelry stores in the area we visited by far. They also consistently went out of there way to make finding the right ring as easy as possible; including shipping stones directly to the store to compare one another, searching for stones of the best quality within my price point through their vendor , and most importantly, they did me a great favor by finishing the custom setting in short notice so I could present it on a special occasion. In short, Van Horns was the only jeweler we visited where we truly felt they had your best interest in mind throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend.
My family and I have been using Van Horn Jewelers for a long time. My father has bought my mothers jewelry, my brother-in-law has done the same for my sister. I went in recently and got the same amazing service whilst shopping for my fiances engagement ring. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Van Horns. They are so incredibly kind and helpful. My beautiful engagement ring was purchased from Van Horns and the owner was incredibly patient with my fiancé as he chose the diamond. I also just recently had Michael make two custom pieces of jewelry from a pendant I inherited from my grandmother. He helped me decide what would work and what I like and he was able to make exactly what we had talked about. They both are stunning. He was even able to re-use the original gold! Van Horns is by far the best jewelry store that I have come across and will be back for all my future jewelry needs! Thank you!
We brought in a ring to be reset that had been my mother in laws 25th Anniversary Set from the 70s. Bringing it to a place we trusted was essential. I appreciated the time that Mike took with me to fully understand what I wanted and what was the safest setting for the solitaire. My husband picked up the set today and it exceeded our expectations - We Love It! Thank you for the great customer service & follow up too!
I love Van Horn Jewelers -- a small town local business with excellent personal service and attention to my needs. When I couldnt find an item I wanted, they took time to bring out catalogues where I found what I wanted and they ordered it for me. My engagement ring and wedding band were purchased there and I dearly love them both! Thanks for the excellent service and quality of jewelry!
Van Horn Jewelers is my go to store when shopping for fine jewelry. Skip, Jill and staff are friendly, knowledgeable of gems, and are willing to work with you to find exactly the right piece of jewelry you are looking for. I recently was looking for a necklace for my daughter’s 40th birthday. The piece I selected was out of my price range, but Skip worked with me and I was able to purchase exactly the necklace I had my eye on. My husband and I have shopped Van Horn’s for years and are never disappointed. I would strongly recommend stopping in to see what they have to offer.
Update 8/5/21:Skip and his family and team did it again-they went above and beyond to help me! I went in to have a ring inspected, and I got much more. Skip patiently gave me advice on how to protect the stones, answered questions about gifts, and offered lots of creative ideas and suggestions about ring design ideas! I trust him implicitly and would recommend him and them to anyone!!From the first time I spotted the most beautiful and unique gemstone ring in their window (and later received it as a surprise birthday gift!) in 1987 to my latest girls afternoon out visit today, I have loved this shop! You couldnt find a more friendly and honest family to purchase jewelry from, and I highly recommend stopping in!
We are always thrilled with the customer service and beautifully creative jewelry available at Van Hornes. Todays visit was only to clean my wedding/anniversary ring (which they created for us) but we were treated like VIPs. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a special piece of jewelry and the very best in personal service!
Van Horn Jewelers was suggested to me by a family member. The store felt inviting and the staff was very kind and welcoming. They listened to my concerns about a few pieces of jewelry I was getting checked and suggest repairs upon inspection. Pricing seemed very fair and work was done quickly. I loved speaking with the staff and getting to learn more. I truly felt valued as a customer. Recommend highly!
Working with Skip and Michael has been a wonderful experience for my husband and me! Skip helped us find the engagement ring we wanted and Michael worked with us by designing the band to go with it. It is unique and we love it! My family has been using this jewelry store since I was a child. We live far away and still come back because we know the value of having an honest place to work with. Thank you!!
My family and I have been long time customers of this store for many years. The owners are great family friends and all-around great business owners, Christians, and people. If you are looking for a small-town jeweler with great customer service, that also provides a variety of gorgeous jewelry, look no further!
This is such a beautiful store! It is always so clean, bright and sparkly. I have taken a few pieces of jewelry here to be repaired and have always been a satisfied customer. Excellent customer service and I am able to shop and spend my money local - what more could you possibly need! Thank you Van Horn, cant wait to visit for all my future jewelry needs!
A great experience with wonderful people. We had a custom ring made by Michael Husted and it came out amazing plus the process was really enjoyable. In fact, my fiancée and I ended up having her wedding band custom made as well. A gorgeous result! These are honest and fair folks to deal with and the quality of their jewelry outshines all of the retail/commercial type jewelers. We highly recommend Van Horn Jewelers and will continue to give them our business for years to come.
I’ve had 2 pieces made by Michael Husted and also several items repaired by him. I can’t say enough great things about his work! From the designing of your piece to the finished product, Michael is an amazing artist and artisan. Every time I’ve been at Van Horn’s, it feels like I’m family. Every single person there is caring and knowledgeable. I feel that Van Horn’s is the best jewelry store in the area.
The showroom is very inviting. They have a really nice selection. I think there is something for everyone here. I went in to have my watch repaired. Kristen waited on me. She was super helpful and very personable. She cleaned my rings while I was shopping and offered me coffee and water.I really enjoyed seeing all of the jewelry that their bench jeweler has made right there in the store. I ended up purchasing a ring and a necklace that he made.I definitely recommend this store.
Thank you so much to both Jill and Skip Hornick for their wonderful customer service at Van Horn Jewelers! I came in yesterday afternoon with a piece of jewelry that broke for a cast member of the OFA Musical. The repair was quite involved yet they both took it upon themselves to repair it quickly for me… Their support for our local community is a blessing.Our family has been long-term customers and have always been pleased with the quality of their jewelry and their customer service.
Skip, Jill, Kristen and the rest of the staff at Van Horn’s always make us feel so welcome and comfortable, from the moment we walk in the door! They have such a wide variety of beautiful items to choose from to fit any budget. Michael Husted has done a amazing job working with us to create our custom pieces, as well as any jewelry repair needs. We are so glad to have wandered in one day, and plan to be regular customers for the foreseeable future!
I began my search for the perfect engagement ring at Van Horn almost 7 months ago. I walked in not knowing where to start or exactly what I was looking for. Skip and his entire team at Van Horn took their time to answer all of my questions and made me feel at ease during the entire process. When I went back in the final time to pick up the ring I was blown away at how amazing it came out. It was perfect! I highly recommend Van Horn, Skip and his entire team. They will make you feel at home, comfortable and confident with your purchase. I wont go anywhere else.
A family owned jewelry boutique that takes the time to get to know their customers. And they have a master jeweler there to! He made my wedding rings, and they couldn’t be more special to me. I’ve been wearing the for 13 years. To this day l admire them daily. Every time I go in they remember who l am, what I’ve looked at and well, they just make you feel like you’re their most important client. Even if it’s just for a ring check and cleaning. Beautiful store and a beautiful family!!
This wonderful small town jeweler has been in Owego since I was a little girl. I love the services they provide. Everyone there is always friendly, helpful, and absolutely enjoyable to work with when shopping. The products they offer are beautiful. I prefer using Van Horn Jewelers for every special event and highly recommend them.
My wife and I love this store. The staff are friendly and dont make you feel bad about having a budget. There are many beautiful pieces in the selection. The staff are always friendly and helpful.When my wife lost the stone in her ring, we immediately took it to Van Horn. They took great care of us. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality pieces and honest professional staff/owners.
Van Horn Jewelers has been my go to for 4 decades! Their inventory is thorough, offering many choices and styles. The kind, caring owners and employees have set a standard of the highest professionalism in their field.I appreciate the education I have received from the staff regarding options available to me. I know that the gifts, that I purchase, are quality and affordable. My daughter is always excited to see a gift in the Van Horn bag. My 89 year old mother is the person who led us to know about Van Horn Jewelers as she gifted her children and grand children with the bag.Excellent jeweler ... check them out!
Shopped around for a long time to choose my wedding band, and found an amazing unique design by Van Horn’s craftsman Mike. They custom crafted the ring to fit my style and size, and the ring turned out even better than I expected. And very pleased with their service team and selection, as well as their professionalism during the Covid pandemic.
My mother and I came to Van Horn to have my grandmother’s diamond wedding ring turned into a pendant necklace. Michael did an amazing job bringing my vision to life and every person working there was extremely friendly and attentive. The quality of work is unmatched. I highly recommend Van Horn!!
I absolutely Love 💕 the personal service you get at Van Horn Jewelers! They make you feel like family, they remember your name and your likes, interests and ideas! When an item comes in that remind them of you they call and give you the opportunity to see if it’s something you would be interested in! ( that’s part of their charm & personal touch )How thoughtful is that!!!Kudos to you all there!!Kimberly
As always, visiting Van Horns is like seeing family. They have always treated us with loving courtesy, and I trust them completely. I have had them do any number of unique things, and without fail they have raised the bar on expectations. Been doing business there for over 30 years, and will continue to do so. Truly a family jeweler.
I absolutely love Van Horn Jewelers! The staff are friendly, warm and inviting. They really take interest in what you are looking for and go above and beyond to help you find what you are looking for.Michael is an amazing jewelery artist. His work just blows me away. He set my diamond into one of his original designs and it is beyond beautiful, I was truly amazed and I love it. I have gotten so many compliments. I cant wait to have him design something else for me.I will definitely go back. Van Horn is now my go to jeweler!! I recommended them to all of my friends!!!
I live in VA and needed a custom designed ring that I couldnt find anywhere. Van Horns was recommended to me by family in NY. They were very helpful with every step of the designing and purchasing process. They answered all of my questions and were very honest about everything. They even did extra work for me so I could have the ring on time. The ring turned out more beautiful than I imagined it. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for an honest and exceptional jeweler.
Was so delighted with my ring enlargement. This was a antique family ring ,unusual in design. Several other jewelers had turned me down because of its unique design. Van horns jewlers looked at it and said yes they would do it they just would need a little extra time . I picked it up and was so impressed and pleased . I can now wear this family ring that holds so many family memories. The employees at this store are fabulous and so helpful. Will certainly tell others the best place to go is Van Horns Jewelers. Thankfully yours Judith Barrett
Skip and the Van Horn Jewelers team are simply amazing! They have a beautiful selection of jewelry, of course, but more importantly they make you feel like family throughout the entire process. I never once felt pressured or overwhelmed. Well be back - just like most of my family and new fiances family before me!
My fiance proposed to me with a ring that belonged to my grandmother and a ring that belonged to his mother. We took them to Van Horns and the rings were combined into one. The process was awesome. I was sent different renders/ideas and I any thoughts I had were used and brought to life. The ring came out 10000x better than I could have ever hoped for. Definitely worth every penny. Im so proud to wear this ring that represents so much. Thank you Van Horn Jerwlers.
I am a second generation customer of Van Horn Jewelers, and have been a customer for over 30 years. The owners and sales staff are honest, helpful, and informative. The inventory is terrific, and there is always something to new! I highly recommend Van Horns for jewelry purchases and repairs.
We have been a customer of Van Horn Jewelers for 25+ years. We have always been treated with the utmost respect! We live out of state now, but always bring jewelry back for repair and cleaning. Wouldnt think of going anywhere else and highly recommend them for all your jewelry needs!!
I went to Van Horn Jewelers for the first time in 2009. Since then I have only bought from them whenever it comes to jewelry. Skip and his staff treat you far better then any other place and are very personable. They are the best when it comes to customer service and quality of product. Thank you all for everything you have done and continue to do!
I have been a customer of Van Horn Jewelers for a couple of decades. They provide quality items, in a pleasant atmosphere, and in a professional manner. My family and I have never been disappointed with our purchases. I highly recommend Van Horn Jewelers to anyone looking to purchase jewelery.
Van Horns (Jill) and Michael did a phenomenal job designing my jewelry into pieces that are truly gorgeous. I never imagined that my pieces would be so lovely but I knew when Van Horns’s was recommended to me by a good friend that was the only place I would want to entrust my pieces to. Located in Owego, NY they were a pleasure to do business with. Jill was incredible and truly understands a customers desires
What cant you say about Van Horn Jewelers? Excellent service from as soon as you walk in the door to when you leave. Excellent selection and competitive prices. Michaels custom work is without a doubt unique and eye catching. Ive had custom work done and the finished wedding ring was unbelievable. Far better than expected. I highly recommend you pay them a visit before you make your final decision on a wedding ring, engagement ring or any type of Jewelery. You may be surprised at what Van Horns has to offer.
The BEST place to go hands down! We worked with Steve and he was WONDERFUL! He listened to what we wanted, and then working from that gave us guidance and suggestions. As we were paying for our new rings the owner also took the time to talk with us and offered care instructions for our rings etc. We were not pushed, nor rushed! We truly felt welcomed. It was more like talking with friends rather than pushy sales people. We will be going there again because their jewelry is as AMAZING as the people who work there. They have us as lifetime customers!!
Van Horns is THE place to go if you want unique jewelry that is special!! I have purchased several pieces from them that have met all of my needs, from a custom designed wedding band, fingerprint jewelry, and even everyday jewelry. They have a great selection and wonderful customer service!! I would highly recommend them to anyone!!!
My family has been going to Van Horn for generations. The staff is always pleasant and ready to help you with whatever you need. My most recent visit I was looking to spend a gift card I had received, and a staff member helped me pick out a few wonderful items. This jewelry shop is a true gem of Owego.
I love this family business. Everyone is kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I have had several pieces repaired, but the most exciting is when I bring old jewelry from my mom and dad to have made into a sentimental piece for me. My parents wedding ring necklace is priceless, and I also had a 50th anniversary ring made. Supporting this small business in our changing world is my priority. It can’t be topped.
My fiancé and I are so happy with our rings! What a beautiful store. Beautiful pieces. Madison was so sweet and relaxed while we made our decisions. We couldnt have asked for more! They even sized my ring for me within an hour and I got to take it home that day! Thank you, VanHorn!!!
Always a pleasure stopping in to Van Horn Jewelry Shop in Owego. The sales team at Van Horn goes above and beyond to make sure you are always 100 % satisfied with your purchase.Finding something special is never a problem because they have a wonderful inventory to choose from in every price range.I definitely recommend Van Horn Jewelry Shop,
Shopping at VanHorn Jewelers is always a positive experience. The service is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They spend time with every customer and are helpful. They make every shopping experience pleasurable. I wouldnt buy jewelry or have repairs done at any other jeweler.
Yesterday, I picked up my ring designed by Michael. To say it took my breath away is an understatement. In one ring, I have diamonds from my mother, my father, and my grandmother. It also includes the gold from my father’s and grandmother’s wedding rings.Jewelry that I cherished, but was not wearing, are suddenly on my finger for me to wear every day!The shop is welcoming and gorgeous.Lovely displays for every price range.The staff are helpful, friendly, and very knowledgeable. And I think every one of them had on a beautiful piece of jewelry designed by Michael.I have so many good things to say about Michael! The man has the patience of a saint! It took me many months and many emails to make up my mind about exactly what I wanted. The tears in my eyes as I looked at my new “Family” ring made it all worth it.This is actually the second ring Michael has created for me. The first was a gift for my step-daughter, made from her deceased mother’s engagement ring.He treated my request with the reverence it deserved.If you have jewelry you don’t wear, bring them to Michael, and let him transform them into your own Show Stopper.
I had the most incredible experience at van horns asked them to take 2 rings that were very meaningful from my past and create one ring for me so I could wear all the time and have my past with me all the time. Mr. Husted is a superior artist and created a ring that I could have never even dreamed of capturing my past life, this ring is so emotional and the most beautiful thing I have every seen or owned. Van horn has done work for my family and myself in the past but this went above and beyond. Mr Husted gave his incredible talent and skill to create my ring even at a tragic time in his life. Everyone at Van Horns was kind and understanding and treated me like I was their most important customer.. I rate them #1 jewelers of all time. you do not get service and attention like this anywhere else. My thanks to all of them so very much!
Working with Vanhorn Jewelers was an amazing experience. The minute I walked in the door I felt I was in the right place to have my ring built. The comfortable family atmosphere was so wonderful.A special thank you to Michael he did and amazing job building and creating an true masterpiece!Thank you so Much Vanhorn Family!!!
I have been a customer of Van Horns for more than 25 years and I have always been treated well. The clerks and the jewelers have always been so helpful and kind. If I have needed a jewelers advice they have always been spot on with their recommendations. I always go to Van Horns for my fine jewelry.
Took in various pieces that my mother needed fixed. The time and attention to my needs were very personable and kind. I left with 2 pieces immediately and a receipt for the remaining with prices and estimated pick up date. Small town jeweler with a comforting feeling is just what I enjoy. Thank you Van Horn Jewelers!
I went to Van Horn Jewelers with what I thought to be a difficult task. I had a very specific list of desired qualities for a nontraditional stone to create the perfect engagement ring. Everyone involved at Van Horn, especially Kristen, exceeded my expectations in helping me create a one-of-a-kind ring. Every aspect of my experience was incredible and they will always have my business!
If youre looking for an engagement ring dont shop online or go to a large retailer. Go to Van Horn! Skip will sit down with you and explain all the different factors that go into selecting a diamond, so that you understand what you are getting. If you have no idea where to start, like myself, he will spend all the time it takes. He can get in just about any style you are interested in seeing.
My family has been dealing with skip for many , we have had many engagment and wedding ring purchases as well as other beautiful jewelry. Wonderful customer service and and top notch jewelry! Kristen is a gem and a great asset to the store! She certainly understands what women want and puts together creative solutions to meet their needs!
Skip and the entire staff at Van Horn’s are phenomenal. They are always willing to go above and beyond to help me find the perfect piece, from the occasional gift for my wife to her engagement ring and our bands. They’re all exquisite and treasured. I can’t thank them enough for everything through the years, and I will always go to Van Horn’s.
I brought my engagement ring in for repair as I wore the band through. I had a new shank put on to thicken the band. While there, I purchased a new wedding band and 2 estate rings. Skip was amazing to work with. He did not pressure me to make a sale. I will return often!!
Van Horn Jewelers has always been our place for purchasing gems of beauty. The service they provide is professional as well as friendly and joyous. If I was ever asked I would refer Van Horn Jewelers as the best place to find what you need in precious metals, stones, and diamonds.
I went there to have my wedding band custom made with my engagement ring. The customer service is impeccable. They go above and beyond to personalize your product and make you happy. I was so content, I sent my brother over for his engagement ring needs! I have also sent a friend. Worth every penny. Support local business!
Michael just created heirlooms for myself and 2 sisters from our Mothers’ wedding band and her Mother’s ring. They are just beautiful and so much more than I expected. He listened to me and created just the perfect piece of jewelry for each of us! I highly recommend going to this store!
What a wonderful store! I stopped in whole touring downtown Owego and was pleasantly greeted and made to feel welcome. A no-pressure sales environment, everyone was fantastic when I asked them questions about the jewelry. Purchased a neat ring and they had it sized overnight for me. Would absolutely return!!
I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! Michael, and every employee we encountered throughout our experience at Van Horn, was simply amazing. Every single person was so incredibly kind as well as professional. Michael took a sentimental family heirloom and transformed it into the ring of my dreams; all while keeping every bit of sentiment intact. My fiancé and I could not be happier with our experience there! Highly recommend :)
I was pleased to pick up the pinkie ring Michael created w/ my input. It is exactly what I had in mind. Also asked for my other rings to be cleaned and checked. This was done in a timely manner and very well. Thanks for being such a great store right in the heart of Owego.
Michael and the entire staff at Van Horns took the time to meet with me and help customize my new ring. I was so worried about making any changes to my existing rings and the staff made what seemed impossible very easy. The use of computer generated samples assisted me in my decision making process. Michael offered multiple ideas and worked with my to make sure my thoughts were translated to his design. I couldn’t be more happy with the service they provided. Thank you all so much!
I had Michael Husted at Van Horn Jewelers design a pendant using my husbands and my wedding rings and my engagement ring. The design was stunning and I was so appreciative of the care he took in creating this piece and assuring the engraved wedding date inside was not disturbed during the creation of the piece which mean a lot to me.The staff at Van Horn were also pleasant and helpful when it came time to choose the gold chain to wear the pendant on.The creation of this special piece of jewelry that I can wear in memory of my husband meant a lot to me. Michael and the folks at Van Horn understood that and made the process so easy. Thanks to Michael and everyone at Van Horn.Susan M
Van Horn Jewelers in Owego NY is the place to buy all your jewelry. It is customer friendly, with the finest quality jewelry anywhere in the Southern tier. A former resident of Owego, I still return to Van Horns to purchase my jewelry. Confidence and Trust are two words to describe the store and it’s owners. 100% customer satisfaction.
We had the outstanding experience to deal with Vanhorn jeweler in Owego, New York. The personnel are all gracious, patient, and very knowledgeable. They treated us like family .The designer, Mr. Michael J Husted, did an awesome job at creating a ring Setting that would hold all the precious stones from my mothers rings. It is brilliant, unique and brings additional warmth to my heart as I wear this ring created by Vanhorn Jewelers .We had a wonderful experience and our rating is measured by the stars in the sky.John and Joy
The best choice I could have made was to bring my ring and band, which was in need of a major makeover, to Michael Husted. He very patiently listened as I told him my horror story of how a prior jeweler changed the setting and whole look of my ring. My ring design was so altered that I did not believe it was my ring, and I actually filed a police report. That is how drastic it was.Michael is a master of his trade. He was able to change the setting , and bring the ring and band together to make them fit perfectly. My ring is now so beautiful I love looking at it all through the day!
Great shopping experience! Skip knew right away the look I was going for in a setting for my grandmothers diamond and every step of the way he was a pleasure to work with! Service, atmosphere, selection, and prices all top notch and most importantly, my ring is gorgeous!
This jewelry store it truly the best. The service is great, so helpful and friendly. I would never shop anywhere else. I come here for great birthday, Christmas, and Valentines Day gifts and everything in between. I have never left empty handed. Cannot wait to shop here again!
I had an antique diamond ring that needed a makeover.... we checked around and settled on Van Horn. Great experience from beginning to end. I told Mr. Husted my vision and he made pencil drawn and computer generated renders before we made any commitments. My antique diamond is looking beautiful in its new “antique” setting. Everyone that worked with us from Van Horn was wonderful.
My wife and I discovered this great store by accident and just wish we had found it sooner! Skip, Jill, and their son could not have been nicer... no pun intended, but this store is a jewel. We had a number of rings and other jewelry that needed attention and both Skip and Jill made the process easy and fun.Based on our initial experience, we decided to have them design a custom 50th Anniversary ring for my wife. Their in house artisan “Michael” did an outstanding job of creating my wife’s dream ring.... They quoted a price and a delivery date that exceeded our expectations. Without hesitation we would recommend VanHorn for any of your jewelry needs.
Van Horn Jewelers is the only jewelry store for me! All of my jewelry has been custom made by Master Jeweler Michael Husted. Skip, Jill and the entire family makes shopping there a real treat! Today I had the extra pleasure of purchasing my son and daughter custom pieces of Michaels jewelery. We couldnt be happier! Thank you Michael and everyone at Van Horn Jewelers?
Van Horns in Owego, NY has always gone above and beyond to help me whenever I have gone in. Today, I was helped by Madison who was not only very knowledgable, but extremely patient with me ! I had a very specific idea in my head when I went in and she helped me look through all the possible options before making my final decision. I will always choose a store like this over chains or the mall. You just cant beat the customer service!
Awesome experience at Van Horn. The engagment ring came out amazing. Skip (the owner) was a great person to deal with and Michael (the jewelier) did a great job converting my ideas from a piece of paper into the perfect engagment ring. I highly recommend going to Van Horn.
I took my wedding ring in to get it sized. It is a handmade ring with many imperfections that I love and did not want buffed out. They assured me that they would leave the imperfections. I got it back yesterday and it looked as promised. I’m very satisfied and will use them again in the future.
What kind of magic is it that I can walk in there and immediately be waited on like I am the only customer who matters? And you will feel that way, too. Everyone there cares about you and your family first, sincerely, and then how they can help you choose a jewelry piece that is THE one MEANT to go home with you. Michael Husted has made 2 special sentimental pieces for me and they are exquisite! I brought him a Cape May diamond and he celebrated my brother (who passed away) with a necklace which enclosed the stone with rose gold hand carved leaves, a post with both of our birthstones, and a beautiful antiqued chain. Uniquely Victorian and sentimentally perfect - my brother is close to my heart. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. The second piece is a beautiful triangular piece of flawless green sea glass (which deserves to be a piece of jewelry) which Michael capped with a wave motif using a complement of white sapphires in a wave pattern. From Skip and Jill, Javan, Kristen, and the rest of their extremely professional and personable staff (if you time it right - this time of year Skip will have warm chocolate chip cookies waiting) it is beyond me why anyone would consider going anywhere else. While their reviews and 5 star reputation and their established footprint in business and in the community should speak for itself, I felt the need to ring the praise bell too! Go and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Tami Mann, Owego, NY
VanHorn Jewelers is a wonderful and local jewelry store to shop in. They have a wonderful staff of workers, and always work with a customer to find and choose a piece of jewelry that he or she might be looking for. They will also repair jewelry at a reasonable price.
Truly one of the best small businesses in owego! Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Theres no comparison when it comes to custom work.... Ive purchased several pieces and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. This place is the only place to visit for all your jewelry related needs. Highly recommended.
Shopping at VanHorn’s is not like any other shopping I do. Visiting a friends home is the most accurate description. It is a family owned business and customers become part of that family. Not to mention the high quality of their merchandise and their expertise cannot be matched.
They have been serving my family since my grandfather went there. When we walk in we are always greeted with a friendly smile and helped right away. They listen to what we specifically want in an item and they help to make it happen. They helped me pick out my husbands wedding present so it’s not just for women to get things. They have endless options and they are will do whatever to help get you what you want.
VanHorn is absolutely AMAZING! Kristin and Michael are incredible! Not only have we been so fortunate to have our engagement and wedding bands through them (specially designed) we are also making surprise gifts for our bridesmaids. They understand our story and turn our designs and imaginations into reality. We will continue to use VanHorn for our future jewlery!
Thank you to Michael and his staff for the excellent repair job that was done recently on my ring and bracelet. They not only did an excellent repair job but went above and beyond to make sure that my jewelry was ready for me before I went out of town. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Staff is always attentive and courteous. A warm hello and good eye contact is forthcoming within a few moments of walking in to the store. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to stop in and have a look around. I would rather support a local family owned business than the big chain stores any day.
Wonderful experience with my daughter went in to check out store and was amazed at how we were treatedfelt welcomed and appreciated Love local store owned instead of major mall type of jewelry store operations .... They actually care that you walk in (amazing) And unique designed items . Bought a birthstone ring and they treated her like a princess and specially gift wrapped it for her 💕 Love that special memory we shared there.... Try them youll be impressed Im sure 🤗🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
What I truly love the most is the family atmosphere, like everyone who comes in the door has their own story and they truly are interested in you and your need. I know that before I left the store they knew I also had a prayer need and thank God they are not shamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ praise the Lord blessings on them and all they do

2022-05-16I just visited Van Horn Jewelers and, once again, had a fabulous experience. Every staff member was personable, professional and knowledgeable. Our family has now bought four “generations” of engagement rings and wedding bands from Van Horn Jewelers as well as other milestone event pieces. This time I visited with my son who was shopping for engagement and wedding rings. Mission accomplished with ease! If I could rate VHJ at more than 5-stars, I would. Hopefully our next generation of jewelry shoppers will be buying from the next generation of Van Horn family members. Expand the photo to see three generations of ring sets below. Hopefully I will remember to update the photo with four rings in the near future.

2022-01-05Wonderful experience! My husband and I purchased our engagement and wedding rings from Van Horn and we are so happy. The rings are beautiful and great quality. The people are amazing to work with and we really developed a relationship with them. I had very specific ideas about what I wanted my engagement ring to look like and they nailed it. I didnt have the right words to describe what I wanted, but somehow they figured it out! They were able to combine a band I liked from one ring with a setting they knew I would like from a catalog. They also spent a bit of time walking us through the characteristics of diamonds and helping us decide what was right for us, not what was most expensive. Our experience with wedding rings was also great; they brought in different rings for us to try on and we found just the right ones.

2022-04-02My experience at Van Horn was AMAZING. The employees were extremely educated and helpful. They helped me pick out 2 beautiful cross pendants. If you’re ever in town, definitely stop by and check out their store. There is a wide variety of jewelry to pick from: rings, necklaces, watches, earrings, anklets, custom made jewelry, and everything else you could ever think of. Braelyn is a PHENOMENAL saleswomen, she was very sweet and pleasant. The entire staff was happy to assist me and did not disappoint. Give this jewelry store a visit!

2022-03-17I brought a ring in for repair and ultimately we decided that replacement was a better option. Steve custom ordered exactly what I wanted and it arrived within the promised timeframe. I couldnt be happier with my new piece. Thank you!

2017-03-03Our experience with Michael and the entire staff was outstanding. We had a custom ring made for my wife from a ring she received from her mother. Michaels design and the results were unbelievable. We couldnt have been more pleased with our interactions with all the staff and the time frame it took to make this ring. We would defiantly recommend Van Horn Jewelers to others.

2021-12-11VanHorn Jewelers is a fantastic, family owned business that I would highly recommend to anyone for all of their jewelry needs. Everyone from the owners, to all of the staff, are very friendly, helpful and professional. I believe the people who work at a business and who serve you is the most important when choosing to spend your money. VanHorn Jewelers does not disappoint and the entire staff makes you feel welcome with their kindness and willingness to serve. Their prices are fair and they complete repair work in a timely manner. They are thorough with explaining the needed repairs. They recently repaired an engagement and a wedding ring, and both my wife and I were blown away with how wonderful they looked. VanHorn’s is an absolute place you can trust.
