Ackerman Jewelers - Tampa, Florida

Fred Lasday

Had an outstanding experience with Ackerman Jewelers. I took my Breitling watch for polishing, and while it was nice before, they returned it in close to mint condition. The entire staff was extremely professional, and Anthony, the watchmaker, was more than meticulous. Would definitely go there again.

Going to this store is like going to see family. Ron, Tina and Linda have been our jewelers for over 24 years. Best selection and price with real info on values and benefits of different price points. They treat me and everyone I have referred like family. I trust them which is hard to say in the mall dominated jewelry market. Just did a gold/watch sale with them as gold is HIGH...They did a great deal with me. I am happy.

I have to say I went into this visit hesitant. I saw on Yelp that there was a slew of 5-star reviews and mentions that all work was done in house, and I was sold. I requested a quote for some work that I needed done, and the business replied within hours to let me know when I could stop in for an in-person consult.

I have two family rings, the wedding band and the engagement ring, that have been passed down from my great-grandma and is intended for my use now that we're considering marriage more. I was very nervous to trust anyone with these pieces, as we've been burned with services locally in the past, but trusted them especially after arriving and chatting with everyone and seeing the store. I worked with Sharon, a lovely blonde woman who was very knowledgeable in old jewelry. Upon looking at each ring, she explained my options for resizing and fixing the thin bands at the bottom due to age. I was given a quote that was identical to the one received by my parents in another state, but they were told the rings would have to be fused together to be saved which was mildly disappointing when I was first told. Sharon, however, told me that she could reshank them and keep them separate without causing extra liability by keeping them apart! I was absolutely stoked.

Sharon then told me a lot of history about the rings as she looked at them, from age, history of the cuts and style of the diamonds, and was able to assess the level of care put into the rings over the years. This was a really cool touch for something special, I never would have known they originated in the early 1900's! I paid in full and gave my contact information and was informed it would be ready in a few days. After I finished with that, I worked with another associate to help me find an affordable chain for my citrine Crystal and they even helped me put the chains on and used a high level of care when helping me find the right chain, and didn’t give me too hard of a time when I said I often shower with the necklace on. So far, no funky discoloration so I’m pretty happy with that separate interaction as well!

There was some issue with the call not coming through when it was ready on the earliest estimated date, but when I called to inquire, they were very sweet. The woman, perhaps Kayla, told me that the ring was ready and I could come in. I met again with Sharon for pickup and brought my receipt and it was a smooth process. They made sure it fit comfortably and I was happy before sending me on my way, ready to get engaged.

Honestly, I couldn't say anything nicer about this experience. I was so nervous to trust anyone with these heirlooms, but they proved themselves with the high level of care used to bring my precious piece back to glory. Highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a beautiful new piece or restore one that you've loved for so long. I tried not to look around too much due to my finances, but they had some stunning pieces in the cases as well, even the birthstone jewelry was jaw dropping! Thank you so much to the staff, you're all wonderful and I look forward to seeing you again soon to reshank and fix up the wedding band soon!

Very elegant establishment of jewelry and service. The staff is very friendly, patient and helpful. I brought in my Breitling for service, and I am confident they will take care of my watch.

My bf and I always drive by this jewelry store and decided to stop and take a look. Walked out with a gorgeous diamond necklace for my bday/ Mother’s Day gift! Cale helped us and she was WONDERFUL. She comes off very genuine and pleasant, very helpful and attentive. I have never walked into a jewelry store that felt this comfortable. We will be back! Hopefully for a wedding ring this time ?

I had the best experience at this location. Kyla was my sales attendant and let me tell you I can’t say enough good things about her…..
From the moment she introduced herself I knew she would be a pleasure having her serve us.
Top notch service with Kyla. Her sweet demeanor. Her knowledge. And although my now fiancé and I were on a budget. She never made us feel as if we were restricted with our choices. She knew what I was looking for so my final decision was everything I wanted my engagement ring to look like. (It’s beautiful)

And the best gemologist in town is my man George.
He went above and beyond getting my ring sized the same day. Even when I bugged him for my band and the turn around time. (Mind you. Someone was out on vacation and they still rushed my ring and band with customizing and soldering). This location is the only jeweler you need!

Fantastic! Darlene was a rock star who helped me with replacing watch batteries. Everyone here is so friendly, knowledgeable and there to help. Outstanding customer service.

Highly recommend! Every time I come in I am greeted with a smile and treated like family. Linda is extremely helpful coming up with creative ways to find what you are looking for. Special thanks to Tim for helping me come up with a strategy on what to do with a family heirloom. Do yourself a favor and try Ackerman Jewelers! They have earned my trust and my business for years to come!
