The Source Fine Jewelers

I’ve purchased a wedding band for my husband at The Source twice — fifteen years apart. The original ring was yellow gold with a white gold overlaying band. He loved the ring, really, which is quite impressive since he wears no other jewelry. It was still in excellent condition eleven years later when a communication debacle sent it into the depths of the City of Rochester’s land fill. (Yep, accidentally got vacuumed up and discarded in the trash.) *deep, deep sigh*
Fast forward to last week when we purchased his replacement ring. This time we went for Tungsten, which allegedly is hypoallergenic. My hubby’s profession requires an inane amount of hand-​washing so we are hoping he will have less of a reaction to soap buildup on his finger. He’s worn it for a week and loves it equally.
The staff at The Source is professional and kind. I wish they were a little more welcoming, and had a bit more enthusiasm, but that’s somewhat trivial. They are typically older than those that are found at the mall jeweler’s, which makes me feel like they have more experience and knowledge. It appears that they have a much longer turnover rate, so you may see the same employee — even if you haven’t visited in a while.
I believe the prices to be reasonable and feel that’s due in part to location: they’re not paying the high mall rents. They are also not spending large amounts on flashy advertising campaigns.
And again, I cannot overemphasize this enough: it’s a locally-​owned business! Gotta support the little guy whenever we can, but especially when they sell quality merchandise at an affordable price.

My wife and I bought our wedding bands here abut nine years ago and still love them. They were high end but still very reasonably priced. I’m reminded often about how much we love our rings because from time to time people STILL ask «oh let me see your ring» as if we were newlyweds. :-)
