Great place with integrity
Ive used Tavernay's many times. Guy is such a pleasure to deal with, such a nice guy! He is professional, helpful and always tries to make time to talk to you. He is also always, ALWAYS smiling and welcoming. I trust him more than any other jeweler that Ive dealt with. This is a place with true integrity- unlike several others here in town. Id trust him with my gems any time and not think twice or worry about getting back what I left with them.
This is why I believe that this store has earned its following as it seems to have quite a few regulars.
The ladies at the counter are great also. Everyone is just so friendly and professional.
The repairs that Ive had done are of decent quality- not poorly done but definitely not high, master jeweler quality either. Sometimes Guy does the work himself and sometimes another of his jewelers will. The quality is the same no matter what.
Unfortunately you can literally wait weeks for a simple sizing or repair job. They are busy and their staff is limited.
The only reason I haven't been back is because sadly in the end, the work is just cost prohibitive. The fees are higher than other jewelers that Ive dealt with compared to the quality and the turn around time is quite long. Simple repairs like sizing (even going down in size) are just astoundingly high and often add- ons are done without prior approval.I do not believe they are out to gouge, they are just high to begin with.
I've been familiar with Tavernay's for a long time. I moved away from Wilmington for a number of years, and returned for a long weekend. I was pleasantly surprised to see Tavernay's still in business. Some of their work is casual, but beautiful-- perfect for the beach. Their beach babies' starfish is exquisite. Beautiful, detailed, well patinaed. Very nice-- just wish it came in 18K gold! I'm sure they can mKe one for me. This is the place for custom jewelry!
I had a very sentimental ring that was cracked on the bottom and haven't been able to wear it for years. They fixed it and there was a risk that it would cause damage to the peridot stone, but no damage was done and now I am able to wear it again. They will definitely see business from me in the future.

I do recommend this place all things considered. I myself will continue to look for the perfect (for me) jeweler; with a balance of afforability, integrity and quality. Good jewelers are hard to find!
