Created a one of a kind wedding band for my engagement ring!

by CPWApex

Oh MY! I LOVE my new wedding band(s)! Unbeknownst to me, my boyfriend went to Donna to find a unique engagement ring (which he did...i absolutely love it!). When the time came to find a matching band, I struggled. Checked out all the jewelers in town. Ended my search when I met with Donna. JVJ worked with me to create a custom band (I opted for a band on each side) that, although it's new, very much works with my vintage setting. Donna listened to what I wanted, while also offering suggestions as to what I can do to keep the "sparkle" while ensuring it still has that vintage-y feel. The final product is way beyond my expectations. I love this set and am very grateful that I had their help to create my one-of-a-kind piece!

• Pros: unique pieces, pieces for all budgets

Perfect Experience, Exceptional Service

by Matt Smith

I had searched other places for engagement rings but no other store matched the unique jewelry and great atmosphere of Joint Venture. I could not have asked for a better experience. They made me feel so welcome and comfortable and made sure that my special moment was all about me. I recommend Joint Venture to anyone and everyone looking for a special gift for their special someone. Thank you for such a perfect experience.

Great Vaule, Selection and People

by kdefratis

My fiance` and i went searching raleigh and cary looking for something unique but affordable and found that here. We saw a ring at a different jewerly store that we loved and we were able to special order a ring that was similar from Joint Venture for 40% less (the ring only took a week to come into the store.) They have a great selection of beautiful rings without the crazy markups. No more searching the area for something better it's all right here! Thank You to all the helpful staff!

• Pros: good vaule, helpful employees

Great Jewelry, Great Prices, Great Service

by vikmart1

I have had several great experiences working with the folks here. Most recently, they did an excellent job of creating a new piece of jewelry for me from an existing piece. I have had a pearl necklace for years but never wear it as it wasn't my style. I took it in for ideas and they were able to convert it into a two strand bracelet with gold spacers in it. I absolutely love it and it is now something I will wear all the time. Best of all it allowed me to keep a gift from my mother for my wedding that was just sitting in my jewelry box.

The quality of work is always great and they are very reasonable in terms of pricing. To celebrate my new bracelet I treated myself to one of the many unique pieces of estate jewelry they have. Their website is a great way to browse for the latest finds and what is on sale.

Highly recommend this place if you have repair work or want something custom made or are looking for something different than what you find in the malls. And they keep wish lists if you want to drop hints to someone special about a gift idea.

• Pros: repair and custom work, unique pieces

Unique, Great Value and Excellent Service

by VoodooCow

I wanted to buy an engagement ring. It had to be unique and have character. I went to several stores each with the same items. When I went into Joint Venture I met Donna and after asking me a few questions she produced several great options. I ended up getting a ring from the early 1900s for a price that was half of what I considered paying at Bailey's. This is the best part, she asked how I was planning on presenting it. After a brief discussion she not only gave me a great idea but also a few props and a bottle of champaigne. Absolutely over the top! If you are looking, do yourself a favor...

• Pros: Great selection of new, custom and vintage jewelry

Making a special moment special

by ScottL

Joint Venture was recommended to me when I began searching for an engagement ring. Donna, Lee, and the whole staff went to great lengths to make this ring perfect. An engagement ring is such an important item that special attention needs to paid to the details as it is not just a piece of jewelry, it is a symbol of ones commitment and love. Joint Venture knew this and made every effort possible to make this ring my own and truly one of a kind.

I simply walked into the store and showed them nothing but a picture of what I wanted and within a couple months they had designed and created the ring. They always filled me in on what was going on throughout the process so that I was never in the dark about what I was getting. When you walk into Joint Venture you will not be rushed by into making a purchase, they truly make the buying experience as comforting and personal as it should be.

I will continue to go to Joint Venture for future purchases as I know I will always be treated at the highest level and the product will be just as special as the service.

The Ring of Her Dreams!

by Beanie

My fiancé and I fell in love with a particular diamond ring from a well respected jewelry store in the mall. We loved everything about this amazing ring except the price tag. I gave Lee a picture of this masterpiece in hopes he would find something similar in style. In the meantime we continued to look around for other options. You could imagine our excitement and surprise when Lee called a month later to let us know he got the ring that morning!!! I ran immediately to Joint Venture and sure enough, it was the exact same ring. I can’t thank Lee and Donna enough for making our engagement so special knowing we found the ring of her dreams at half the price. It was totally meant for her to get that ring. This is customer service at the highest level possible!

Thank you so much Lee and Donna.

Best Regards,

Brian & Maureen

Joint Venture Jewelry: A True Gem of a Store

by 4923

I had the most fabulous experience at Joint Venture Jewelry. Donna Hankin helped me to change the setting of my wedding band ( as a result of divorce) to three stacking rings that are really gorgeous. Now - this could have been a very sad time - but Donna held my hand through the entire process and together, we transformed a ring that would have otherwise been sold in her store to 3 rings that I wear everyday now! My best friend at work keeps telling me that the rings "are so hot!".

I adore Donna and her husband. They are true professionals. their store is immaculate, and their cases are filled with the most incredible selection of gently used and genuine vintage pieces. I am thrilled with the whole experience and I highly recommend Joint Venture Jewelry to everyone.

This is the kind of experience we love! Taking jewelry that is from a previous chapter & restyling to make it a part of the future - and it doesn't cost a fortune!
