      If I could give 6 stars, I would. I went to Barry with my engagement ring that had a few loose stones. He was prompt with his replies to my email to set up a time to meet with him and was very accommodating. He's the type of person that gives off the genuine, honest, feel good vibe. He gave me an extremely reasonable quote and when I went to pick it up he had tightened a few extra prongs and cleaned it! It's always nice to go go a jeweler this day in age and not feel like you're being ripped off.

    Barry Russ, restoring my faith in humanity!

      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.

  •   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!

      My FiancĂ©e 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.

  •   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!!

      Barry is an incredible jewelry- an artist with skills that are hard to find these days. Barry repaired my 40 year old husband's 1st Communion gold necklace that he has worn religiously since he was 8 years old to perfection again. It was worn out after 32 years of daily wear. He also repaired a pair of stud earrings for my daughter. They were by no means quality earrings, but they were important to her, so he did what he could to make them good as new. Barry is fair, honest, and does impeccable work. I highly recommend him to all in the Atlanta area. Worth the drive from the suburbs. He has been in business for decades and prides himself on his work.

      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.
