REVIEWS

  Honest service and high quality work. I took 3-4 pieces that had broken over time; now it's like I have a new set of jewelry! Small place, so it's not a bad idea to call ahead to make sure he's available. Definitely worth making an appointment.

  A small diamond side stone (chip diamonds) in my engagement ring fell out.

I found out some quotes at local places to get it replaced, and it was quite a pretty penny. Thanks to yelpers, I found Barry Evans Russ and not only was my bank account grateful for his help, but he cleaned the rings, resized both rings in the set, replaced the missing stone and two others that were loose (we wanted him to check that as well, just in case any more were on the way to go missing). He is quite busy and you have to make an appointment, but he does such good quality work and you get the sense you are handing your jewelry over to a true artist who has devoted his life to this craft.

I could only imagine what a custom piece by him is like!

  Barry is great, very quick and thorough, can repair anything from diamond rings to costume jewelry! Highly recommend!

  Not many jewelers work with the metal palladium (platinum's lighter weight, naturally occurring cousin), so when I found out Barry had a long history with the metal, I was delighted to meet him.

First, Barry resized a 1940s palladium engagement ring I bought from an estate jeweler online for my fiance. He was so nice and inexpensive, we asked Barry to design a new palladium wedding band to match that ring and HE NAILED IT!!

Barry's ability to design rings that look like actual vintage rings is what sets him apart from the rest. He is a student of jewelry and there is no faking the funk with him. But what makes me love Barry is his honesty. He did not try to up-sell us on anything crazy and gave us great bang for the buck.

I'm so happy we met Barry. He is a true artist and honest businessman who works with one of the greatest metals on Earth, palladium. I can't sing his praises enough. Thank you Barry!!

  I was looking for a custom jeweler to make a ring. I stumbled upon Barry's website and decided to give him a call. I met him at his shop in Buckhead and we discussed what I wanted. Fast forward a week and a half, and I have the most perfect ring on my right hand - designed and fabricated by Barry. His pricing estimate was spot on and it was ready exactly when he said it would be.

Barry does excellent work and is just a really cool dude (he also has fantastic taste in music). You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers...anytime I need jewelry made or repaired, I'm going to him.

  Barry is super sweet and was able to repair an intricately decorated family heirloom for a very reasonable price! I will go back to him every time! He even makes custom pieces!

  My Fiancée recently needed her ring resized with a same day turnaround and despite being turned down, rather rudely, by other well known Atlanta Jewelers; Barry accommodated us with open arms and couldn't have been more thorough and friendly. The entire transaction was perfect and Barry, unlike the other jewelers, now has our business for the foreseeable future.

Highly highly recommend!

  Barry fixed the setting on my palladium solitaire ring. It's perfect now!! Fixed a day early. Didn't have to part with my ring for more than 24 hrs.

  I am so pleased to write a review for my new friend and jeweler, Barry Evan Russ! To find someone who is an artist, honest, caring, friendly - who tells you what he can do and then does it - a delightful experience. I found Barry after reading numerous reviews when searching for a jeweler. I have been a bit intimidated about trying to do something with a few pieces of family jewelry that I inherited - and they have been sitting in a drawer for years. My husband has begged me to find a ring to symbolize our marriage/friendship of 6+ years. I'm older and more practical than I once was and I have put him off on this for all 6 of our years together. After reading reviews on Barry, I decided to give this a try. Barry responded to my request very quickly and we set up a time for me to bring my jewelry items into his shop. He listened to me - he never made me feel dumb - never tried to sell me more than I told him I wanted to spend. A couple of items I had he quickly told me were not worth trying to do anything with so I took those home. But I had two diamonds that were almost identical in size and shape and Barry began to search for a setting that would work for me. We sat together at his computer and looked at images. I am now wearing my new ring and I could not be happier! Barry does wonderful work and I enjoyed my experience with him so much. If you are not into the big box stores or intimidating high-end jewelery stores - if you want a simple, honest experience - I assure you that you will not be disappointed with Barry Evan Russ. Thank you for the ring and the friendship, Barry! I hope to see you again.
