I wanted to buy a watch for my son's birthday and I showed him the Stauer Meisterzeit. He loved it! There was a photo of a gentleman modeling it and that is what convinced him that watch was for him. When received, I was impressed with all the care instructions and guarantees Stauer offered. No one he knows has one like it! THANKS!

My Experiences with Stauer over the last few years have been pleasant and positive in every way. I have gotten several things for both my wife and myself. Everything I have gotten have been delivered promptly and of high quality. I have given several items to my family members as well as friends and they have been well received. I have referred Stauer to several family members and friends.

I have been a member for several years. Each and every item I or my husband have ordered, arrive quickly and are unique pieces that you will have a hard time seeing on every other person. That reason alone is the why I shop Stauer. I enjoy being asked where my piece of jewelry came from. When the catalogs arrive in the mail, my husband has so much fun saying, "I have that one, and that one," etc. It's becoming difficult to find one he doesn't have. The prices and sales are so good that you can't afford not to purchase something. I tell all of my friends and family about Stauer so they may have the wonderful experiences we have shopping with your company. Thank you so much!

Last year my oldest Grandson was being Bar Mitzvahed. I had purchased an aqua suit for this occasion. I had turquoise jewelry to wear with it all but, the earrings. I was looking all over for the right pair of earrings that would make a statement. Finally I found them at Stauer. I received many compliments on these earrings and felt special wearing them. Thank you Stauer for having a good selection.

Stauer took care of me on this! Got a discount on another ring. Great people to do business with!

With shipping, I paid $120 approx for the ring. After I had it for a week or two, I noticed that the outer part of the ring was coming apart from the inner ring where the diamonds were. So it had a few scratches on it so I figured I couldn't return it to you. I took it to a pawn shop and sold it for $20.00. Bottom line, I'm out $100 and disappointed!

I wanted to get a really nice ring for my engagement but being on disabled I have limited income. I found the perfect ring and could not have been happier. She loved it and said YES right there. LOL. She never goes a day without it and everyone says it looks great. After many great buys I am never disappointed. Thanks for making my dream come true.

Long history with Stauer and have been happy all along the way. The products are stellar and the delivery is fast. The prices are always reasonable and the look of every product is that of a high-end jewelry store. Stauer has the knack for introducing new products all the time and the quality is wonderful. Will continue to be a loyal customer.

This past year my wife and I experienced how great the Stauers products are. We've bought a number of styles from a Diamondaura heart, to earrings, and the Diamondaura Contempo Ring, just blew everyone away. We recently reordered this beautiful ring for my 2 daughters, and our daughter in law. I can't believe how often we've seen this style recently even at our jewelers in St Martin where we just returned from a vacation. Saw it again at TJMaxx, but yours was so much nicer, and of course a fraction of their price. We love the Stauer experience, and expect after our girls wear, and enjoy their ring, Stauer will gain many more customers. Thank you for making our gift giving such an easy and pleasant journey.

For many years, I did not think I could afford lovely, luxurious jewelry. I did call in and order Stauer's free offers found in magazine ads. Then, somehow a smart decision was made to seriously look at a Stauer catalog and start ordering gifts that I knew would please my loved ones (and myself). A representative gave me the opportunity of becoming a Platinum Member, then a VIP member, and this made beautiful jewelry even more affordable.

I had never really liked diamonds because I didn't think they sparkled or shined enough OR at least not the ones my husband could afford to buy me. So, for my 20th anniversary he bought me the Stauer 3 stone "5th C" diamond ring. OMG! It is so beautiful and the sparkle is above all others! How do I know this you ask? We were flying down to Florida to spend our anniversary at Disney and we're surrounded by retirees, rich businessman, and others with no place to be that day. I was sitting by the window when the lady across from the aisle got my attention to tell me what an absolutely gorgeous ring I had. I wasn't even next to her and she noticed my ring! Next, someone walking past to the restrooms commented on the dazzling ring.
Then the flight attendant commented on the lovely sparkle! I finally figured it out! The sun was shining in the plane window at 25000 feet, was hitting my ring and creating the most fantastically beautiful array of lights, mini rainbows, around my area of the plane! Every time someone got near they were bedazzled by my Stauer ring! One passenger told me how lucky I was to have a husband willing to spend over $25,000 for such a perfect diamond ring for me and that I should treat him right! Well, I just smiled and told her I appreciated him every day and that such a ring was a reminder daily of 20 dazzling years together! My husband and I had a great week and we were the only two who knew that we could afford the trip because he saved so much by getting me a Stauer ring! Thanks, Stauer! Won't ever forget my 20th!

I ordered the Centurion Hybrid watch over two years ago. The day I ordered it, I got an email saying the price had been reduced. I called Customer Service and asked if I could get the lower price. No problem - they gave me the lower price. I received the watch and was very satisfied. It was beautiful! A year later, the band broke. I called Customer Service and asked if I could purchase a new band. Long story short, they sent me a new band free of charge.
About six months later, I chipped the crystal on the watch. Very disappointed (I really love this watch), I called Customer Service once again to find out if I could have Stauer repair the watch since I really didn't trust local jewelers to do the work. Once again, Stauer came through. Except this time, they didn't just repair the watch for free, they sent me a whole new one! Needless to say, I am absolutely jazzed about the whole deal, and I love my new (new) watch! I have made several more purchases since then, and have referred Stauer out to many of my friends, family and clients. I have nothing but the best to say about Stauer! I am actually preparing an order for Christmas as we speak! By the way, I have gotten tons of compliments on the watch. Everyone thinks it is a very expensive watch. If only they knew exactly how much I had paid for it!

As a girl, I watched the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's, over and over. I dreamed of a day when I could buy a little black dress, shop at Tiffany's and dine out decked in pearls. As a college student, my goal seemed out of reach. Dining on top ramen and potatoes, it seemed impossible that I would one day be able to drape my neck in the baubles I had dreamed of as a girl.
On one winter evening during my junior year, I was reading a magazine when I saw an advertisement for fresh cultured pearls from Stauer. Unlike the pearl necklaces I had previously seen, this one was within my price range. I bought it immediately and a gift of a ring came with it. Before long, my gleaming white pearls arrived at my doorstep and I was well into planning my first Breakfast at Tiffany's party. Although I have finally earned enough money to buy new pearls, the ones from Stauer are still my favorites. Beyond the sheer beauty of the strand, the memory of my childhood goal of dressing like Audrey Hepburn makes this necklace a particularly sentimental find for me.

I was trying to find an engagement ring for my wife to be. I had already purchased one ring but not the wedding band. I purchased a ring set that was on your catalog for just the wedding band. My sweetie said that the diamond ring that was in the set I purchased from y'all was the one she wanted to wear. All of the women in her family thought that the ring from y'all was nicer and more beautiful.

I have been dealing with you folks for over twenty years and have nothing but good things to say about your products and how you stand behind them. Your phone staff is friendly and helpful, probably because you are based in the Midwest, where I grew up.

My husband and I have been together since I was a teenager. So to say that I outgrew my original wedding ring is not that uncommon. Our original rings were solid gold and very soft, so I just wore it around my neck to be close to my heart. Until one day, someone thought I was a widow because of the way I was wearing the ring on a necklace. Well, I went without ANY ring for about 1 1\2 months until Christmas. Then for Christmas my husband gave me the DiamondAura Perfecta ring and my son gave me some stud earrings.
It was the happiest day for me! I had a wedding ring to wear and not just any ring, a ring that was gorgeous! I still get compliments almost every day on my ring. I love the ring and it will not come off my finger, unless to get sized down. Thank you Stauer. You gave me a beautiful wedding ring back, one I thought we could never afford, and now you have become part of the family.

Few years ago, I bought one lovely ring with three lab-made diamonds from you, and I went to several jewelry shops in my city to get their opinion on its quality. There were amazing response which I didn't really expect that even some salespeople at those famous shops located in a big mall offered me higher price for the ring. They actually wanted to buy it from me for higher price than the one I paid to you (your online shop). A great value for money spent.

I was at the doctor's office looking at a magazine when I found an ad for the palos pink diamondAura ring. Before I could think about it, my name was called and I abandoned the magazine. Later that night, I regretted leaving the magazine, although I had never stolen a magazine from a doctor's office before. I went back the following day, explaining to the receptionist what I was looking for. She offered no guarantee that the magazine in question would still be there. After a lot of searching (and most likely annoying the nurses), I found the magazine in one of the offices. I took a picture (what I should have done to begin with!), and went home to look up the website.
The palos pink ring was my first purchase from Stauer. For the price, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, when it arrived, I was incredibly surprised at how beautiful it was. I made the mistake of thinking that diamondAura stones would be similar to cubic zirconia stones. I couldn't have been more mistaken. I wear the pink palos ring all of the time. It is just as beautiful now as it was when it first arrived in my mailbox.
When my sister was expecting her first baby, she outgrew her engagement and wedding rings. I had shown her my Stauer collection and she fell in love with my diamondAura Ziara ring. I gave her the ring (we joke about me giving her an engagement ring!), and have since bought her a necklace and earrings to match. She loves them all. Even after being able to wear her original engagement ring, she continues to wear the one I gave her from Stauer. The quality and beauty of Stauer jewelry are amazing. I don't know why anyone would spend far more in a jewelry store for jewelry that can't possibly be any more beautiful than what can be had from Stauer.

In spring of 2014, I moved from my home of 39 years into a very fine retirement community. Quite quickly, I began to attract attention because of the jewelry I wear nightly... and daily. In fact, some fellow residents suggested I should put my few pills into my jewelry box, since I sometimes forget to take the former but never go into public without the latter. Some of my jewelry was inherited; some I purchased when I worked in American Indian trading posts in the Southwest during my college summers. Most of the rest should be labeled Stauer; most of the pieces have been gifts from a long-time male friend with triumphant taste in jewelry (fortunately for me). I have had a long career as a travel writer and have circled the globe wearing stunners from Stauer. I am wearing a jade set as I write. Thank you (and my friend). Merry Christmas!!!

Recently I got the Pride of Zambia emerald ring for my older sister Laurie as an early Christmas present. I wanted to get her something special and beautiful, because she's had a very rough last couple of years. She's the sort of woman who works 50 hours a week and rushes around, working hard to make sure everyone else (husband, son, family) is happy and taken care of. But no one takes care of her. Since we live 3000 miles apart, I wanted to give her something that showed how much I loved her, that would complement her lovely green eyes & that was 100% for her. I asked her to open it early so she could wear it to holiday events, but mainly because I was excited to hear her reaction. She immediately texted me a photo of the ring on her hand, with the message: "I LOVE it!!! It's beautiful!" When we spoke later, she cried a little as she told me how much she loved it and how much it meant to her.
I know this isn't an epic holiday tale (How I proposed to my wife on the slopes of Mt. Everest, a Yeti serving as ring bearer), but I made my big sister very happy this Christmas with a gift from Stauer. I know she'll always treasure this gift and it will remind her of our close bond as sisters. Thank you Stauer for making my holiday a happy one!

Husband writing: She loves everything about it. I on the other hand, do not like the band because of three grooves on edge near bottom and is jagged. Slight defect, maybe I can wear it down so she don't get scratched. But alas! She won't give it to me. Any idea's on smoothing it without screwing up finish?

Buying from Stauer is so easy and the products are beautiful. My bride just sparkles when she opens a Stauer box and the jewelry makes her eyes and her face sparkle and shine. I always know that if I make a Stauer purchase for my bride or our daughters, their faces will light up and sparkle. I started with seeing a catalog come to the house and saw something I knew would look beautiful on my bride. I ordered it for her and not only did it look beautiful on her she made it sparkle too. I have since bought jewelry for our daughters and have the same experience with them, my girls all sparkle. Thanks.

The only reason you get one star there is nothing lower!! This is the second comment. Your note on the first said I would hear something in two days??? My wife bought me a $199.00 Kepler, blue face watch while we still lived in Oregon. I have worn this watch a total of one week. The buckle on the band came off, cannot get the screw type pins out to replace the band, so the watch, whatever quality it may be, will never be known. It is a thick bodied watch that does not work well with dress shirts. I am sorry my wife wasted $200.00 on a piece of junk. Is that a very fair comment on Stauer's misleading advertising of quality.

Before beginning let me say how much I love Stauer products and the fabulous replication of their famous jewelry and purses. Of course it goes without saying their items for men are just as nice.

I'm constantly getting Stauer emails, scouring the details. When I saw that it had gone on sale, for the least amount ever, I went nuts!
Being the wonderful husband he is, he stopped everything and placed the order. I'm patiently awaiting its arrival. However, he's my Santa Claus and I will not get it until Christmas. Forget the cookies and milk left for Santa and his elves, I'll be up all night poking around the tree, impatiently awaiting my tennis bracelet.

Throughout the years, many times married couples have a difficult time deciding what it is they personally want for a gift. Whether it be a birthday, Christmas, anniversary, or maybe even "just because" gift. I have found that Stauer's variety of items meets every one of my needs.

I learned about Stauer while at a Goodyear Tire Dealership many years ago. As I was waiting to have new tires put on a commercial truck that I drove at that time, I was leafing through a magazine, and noticed an ad for Stauer Jewelry. The ad and the item in the ad resulted in my making my very first Stauer purchase. As a result, I made it a point to look at Stauer ads whenever I found them in different magazines. I choose to purchase other items, and as a result of my wife's overwhelming response to your jewelry, I purchased a Platinum membership.
I am so blessed that my wife absolutely loves sterling silver, and that Stauer has made it possible for me to purchase time and time again, some of the most beautiful/exquisite jewelry in the world. Jewelry that is so wonderfully crafted, and pleasing to both the eyes and the heart; that my wife loves wearing it. It has never made any difference as to what piece or pieces that she wears on any given day, that she has yet to wear any of the wonderful jewelry that I have purchased from Stauer, and not received multiple compliments, and expressions from other women and also I might add, a few gentleman as well.
I shall continue to renew my Platinum membership each and every year, and continue to purchase Stauer Jewelry for my wife. She tells me that I have purchased more than enough, and that she does not need any more. Given that the courtship of my "BEAUTIFUL WIFE" shall never end, when I see something that I know without a doubt will take her breath away, and in some small way help convey "my love, devotion, and loyalty" to the "most beautiful woman in existence", I will continue as long as Stauer is in business to make purchases.
Some of those purchases will be something that she has displayed extreme interest in, and some will be a total surprise to her that I purchase without her knowledge. I buy her flowers at least once every three to four weeks. I tell her every day that I Love Her, and I will never be able to show her how deep that love is, nor how much she truly means to me.
If I had all the jewels, or wealth in the universe "it would not be enough to express my love for my wife!! My wife is the love of my life, my best friend, my confidant, my angel, my life!! I am the most blessed of all men!!" Thank you for your wonderful products, and making it possible for an individual such as myself to be able to afford such beautiful, exquisite jewelry!! May God Bless each of you. Not only at this wonderful time of year, but each and every day!!

I have been a Stauer customer for years, purchasing watches for me and jewelry for my wife. I have always been satisfied with their products and service. This year, I attempted to purchase for $129, Helenite stud earrings to match the necklace I bought last year. As I was checking out, I noticed that Stauer was attempting to charge $20 for shipping these tiny little studs which easily could have been shipped insured for $5. I immediately stopped processing the order and will find some emerald studs that will match the Helenite necklace for a lot less money. It appears that corporate greed has now reached Stauer. This is very sad and disappointing. I will not need to consider them for future purchases.

Customer service when ordering by phone is terrible. I was instructed when I became a platinum member to call to order as the deals could be better than what was reflected online. Had to speak with a supervisor to get my order completed. Order was a simple process, however the customer service rep was unwilling to help me with my questions. Probably will not renew membership once it expires.

Purchasing without seeing the jewelry piece has not been successful for me so far. My advisor has been doing her best to help me with my purchases but so far, after seeing my items on the computer tonight, we must make more changes in my order! Their jewelry is very expensive and if I'm going to purchase this collection of jewelry, I have to make sure I'm going to love all the items before they arrive. I have been told that if I don't like any of the items I can send them back but even the first payment that they will collect before the jewelry is even sent is too high to play with while I make a decision!!!

I was able to resolve this complaint very quickly after contacting the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota. I was pleased with Stauer's willingness to acknowledge, through their offer of resolution, that the delay and failure to notify resulted in a profound loss and emotional disruption. However, as I am unsure if Stauer is going to improve their ordering process to prevent this unfortunate situation from repeating, I am hesitant to purchase from them in the future. and hesitant to recommend them to other consumers.

On 11/8 I placed a confirmed order for 3 items and a membership with Stauer. Stauer sales rep told me items would take "two weeks to arrive." Unfortunately, Stauer failed to tell me at the time I placed my order that items that I had ordered (time sensitive as a special gift for my fiance's 50th birthday) were on back order and failed to notify me of when these items would be shipped. After contacting Stauer the week the items were set to arrive, I was told that one item shipped and the 2 others had shipped "2 days ago." This proved false. Only one item arrived within time frame quoted (the least valued item) and I was left extremely embarrassed, sad and hurt that I had little to present to my fiance on this milestone day.
I called Stauer again to determine the status as I could not track in email, and was told that the items were not going to be shipped until 10 days after they were supposed to arrive! (11/30 and 12/1) After complaining with customer service rep who indicated that the matter would get forwarded to a supervisor, the rep stated that all Stauer felt compelled to do to make up for ruining this event was to credit me shipping costs ($9.57) hardly compensation for a major problem both with ordering systems and what it means to satisfy a customer after you screw up royally. I cancelled my membership and will never order from this company again. Shame on you Stauer. I expected better from you.

I had purchase your lab-created diamonds (necklace, ring & earrings) and my wife and I both use them – she, on special occasions and me, during my mineral lessons in earth science. The students get a better understanding & appreciation of lab-made diamonds and I dispel any concerns that they are "not real". At the end of the lesson, the kids are generally more receptive to the idea of having both bling and some cash. One question: would Stauer be able to help me show students other types of precious stones? Thanks.

I have never before dealt with such an amazing company who cared so much about their customers. When I purchased a ring for my wife, I returned it in exchange for another with the provided prepaid label, and the US Postal Service lost my package. Then Stauer stepped up, seeing what had happened, and replaced the ring even though they never got the original back. Nobody knows where on earth the original is, but Stauer cared enough about my wife's happiness when she would receive her gift that they replaced the ring quickly, and my wife was exuberantly happy. I will be going to Stauer in the future for any and all purchases due to their kindness and customer service along with the beautiful quality of their product. Thank you Stauer.

Prelude: I love emeralds and opals... I saw an ad in a magazine I was reading, while sitting in my doctor's office, for a necklace this company (Stauer) was offering for an incredible story and price. They claimed they made, from the ashes of Mt. St. Helens' eruption, by the modern technology, an incredibly, perfectly pure and flawless "emerald." Normally, I don't want "lab-created" stones in my jewelry. However, I know how soft and delicate natural emeralds are. For the price, I thought, if this "pendant" is as pretty as the picture, I can live with that. These stones made from those ashes are called "Helenite." I called to order this pendant and I am assuming it comes with a chain. Wrong! For an additional fee... I get sucked into buying a membership, they send four $50.00 certificates that can be used anytime during the next year.
I am usually leery of these deals, but I see their website and start getting brochures almost daily. Each one having great savings and I can use those $50.00 things, so I fell hook, line and sinker! Upon arrival, these rings (most of them) are as pretty as they show in the pictures and online. But, buyers beware... each one, within anywhere from 2 hours to two weeks are losing stones, chains break and so on. And, God forbid, you try to send them back without all kinds of charges, or excuses for not getting a replacement or whatever!!! If I could give them a few negative stars I would!
I ordered one of their tanzanite rings with one dozen rare stones, I read the reviews of people that supposedly loved it, raving on the quality... my ring came and all of the stones are cloudy and lacking much color. Then, they have some people that call you, trying to sell you a tanzanite ring, far better quality and a much higher price! Every time I got one of those calls I'd let them have it, telling them I realize all of these problems are not their fault, those poor guys are on straight commission! All of these things happened over a pretty short period of time. Yes, I wised up quickly. I have put reviews on their website under each item, but they have never printed any of them.
Mainly, the consequences were customer service making every excuse and apology and not really offering any satisfaction to my complaints. I have sent some things back at my expense. The rest I am going to see if a local jeweler can fix my items and if not, I'll just sell the silver and hopefully some of the stones and consider myself lucky that I didn't spend more money with these guys. Going back through my order shipping labels, I am actually horrified at how much these people got out of me before I wised up.

There will ALWAYS be a Stauer (self-winding of course) on my wrist..But of late, my watch loses time in an amazing fashion. At least 5 minutes a day... one day, no idea how it happened, a full hour.

I bought a Stauer Centurion Hybrid Watch ($59) and received it 12-2-14. Now eight months later the stainless steel colored finish on it is discoloring to a bronze color in five areas. On the watch back it says the case back is stainless but nothing about the rest of the watch. I emailed their customer service department to make them aware of their possible quality issue. They replied that they could exchange it with a new one upon my purchase of a "Replacement Guarantee" depending on its allotted time.
That seems unclear to me versus just saying their warranty period is for "such and such a length of time" and that a warranty is included with the product. Buying a "Replacement Guarantee," whatever that unstated cost might be seems unjust. They should be eager to get their product back to see what is wrong with it so they can make corrections in production. So I won't be purchasing anymore of their products even though their advertising brochures are very flashy and the pricing is low.

I ordered an item FedEx 2nd-Day Air and it was sent UPS Mail Innovations. When UPS transfers your package to the post office, it is no longer traceable. So now it's past the delivery due date and I have no idea where it is or when it will get to me. Yes, saying that I'm dissatisfied with the shipping of this item is an understatement. To Stauer's credit, they credited back the $15 that I paid extra for expedited shipping and admitted that they baffed the shipping on this item (9 days after I ordered, I still don't have it).
Pro-tip: when a customer is paying $20 for shipping, don't send it Mail Innovations. That's bottom-of-the-barrel and any serious company should be embarrassed to use it. I would even steer clear of UPS. Their service has seriously degraded in previous years. Stauer has a good reputation as a company and customers are loyal, so it's time to get the shipping part of the house back in order and keep earning that good reputation. Even if the products that people receive are great, bad shipping experiences send people running to other retailers.

Now, 18 months later the battery died. It is a CR2026 battery. I had a very difficult time prying the back off but finally accomplished it. I installed the new battery. Then, no matter what I did, the back would not snap in place as it should. I was afraid of damaging the plastic crystal so I fabricated a ring that would bot apply pressure to the plastic crystal and used a padded clamp to apply pressure to the back cover.
No matter how much pressure was applied, the back would not snap on. Finally, I checked and the back was bent and ruined. The Stauer brand is very substandard. They look good, and have exciting features but they are poorly made and, even though they are inexpensive, they are more trouble than they are worth. The warranty is expired on mine so I threw it in the trash and will NEVER deal with Stauer again. By the way, there is a slight slit in the back where the watch stem is located. I WAS careful to align it properly.

I have purchased several men's watches from Stauer and have been very pleased with all of them. One watch began to lose time despite a new battery and Stauer replaced it with zero issues. Would recommend Stauer to anyone. Very reasonable prices on quality products.

Enameled Rose Brooch - This was the second item bought after I joined your program. I absolutely love wearing and have people asking if it is a real rose. My only mishap happened when removing the jacket while sitting, I leaned back on the jacket breaking the brooch leaf from the stem. Super glue repaired and actually strengthened it a bit. I do plan to get another pin for the back since it is flimsy. I just run an earring plastic backing into the shank part to hold it to fabric should it become loosened. I thoroughly enjoy wearing it.

This is a request for refund of the full amount or other reasonable settlement. If my request is not honored, I will begin legal action. I purchased 3 sets of Crimson Jade Set (Item # 27943) for $237.00 plus shipping. I spoke with a Manager, March 31, 2015 - after it was reported to me that the pieces bled red dye on their recipient and recipients clothing. I asked this Stauer Manager why the dye-ing was not divulged as part of the description for the items. No direct answer was given. But I was thrilled when he told me that, the first 500 orders were not washed and that has now been added to the manufacturers process. The washing is simply to rinse in cold water and to dab dry with a paper towel. No color changes have been reported. He recommended washing the stones as described above.
After following his advice the stones continued to bleed on clothing and skin (neck and ears). So far the stones have been washed 6 times and are still bleeding dye. The stones are also changing to a lighter color as the dye is removed. My only option as explained to me was that I could return the 3 sets but this was not possible as they were unfortunately gifted. Legal Considerations. This failure to communicate to me/the customer is a deceptive trade practice. Stauer failed to disclose that the set was treated in a non-permanent way (dyed) which created special care requirements. The color is diminishing at every washing, which makes sense as the water is coming off RED. It is my understanding that in the case of online purchases - disclosure should be made at the point of sale. **

Bought a high quality time piece, The Centurion. Got a confirmation number, tracking number, and received the watch within a few days. Opened the package and saw one of the most beautiful watches I've ever seen. Build, quality and ascetics were amazing; especially for the discounted price I paid for it. Stauer made the entire process quick, easy, efficient and I ended up paying a fantastic price for a watch I'll love for a lifetime.

I have made 4 separate purchases with Stauer over the last year which may have included more than one item per purchase. Stauer is reliable, offer a quality line (watches) at prices not found anywhere else. The quality of their watches is equal to many that can go for ten times the price or more. Stauer offers discount deals weekly if not more often via emails which is nice. My purchases are mostly watches and I could not be more pleased and will buy more in the future. In fact trying to decide between two models now...maybe I will just make it easy and buy both. Their shipping and customer service is excellent.

I recently ordered a watch from Stauer. It's terrible. In all fairness, I have not tried to return it yet. I'm hoping it won't be problem. It hasn't kept time since the day I got it, 5 weeks ago. At first it was just a loss of a couple minutes every few days. It then progressed to a loss of 5 minutes a day. Now, the hour hand and the minute hand aren't even in sync. When the hour hand is straight up at the hour, the minute hand is all over the place. I was aware I wasn't buying a Rolex, but I'd have been better off with a watch purchased at the dollar store.

Compendium Hybrid Watch - I received this watch as a gift. Today is the first time I have worn it. I adjusted the back this morning. Made sure the time was set and headed to the office. Just after lunch I noticed the analog time was wrong by more than 20 minutes slow. I also noticed a deep scratch in the crystal. I sit in an office at a desk in front of a computer all day. How could I have possibly scratched the crystal, my old Timex has been worn while working on my car and not gotten scratched. I will shelf this watch and may never wear it again. Time to buy the Casio back on. The time is accurate to the nano second with that one. Goodbye piece of junk.

I ordered this ring on 10/17/14 as an anniversary gift for my wife. The first time that she wore it, a diamond fell out. The ring was returned on 10/21/14. The ring was repaired and returned to us. My wife wore it and lost more diamonds. Ring was returned again on 12/9/14. This time it took a long time to have it repaired. When we received it back, it had missing diamonds and some inferior diamonds had also been installed. The ring was returned again on 2/4/15. We still have not received it back. I called ** and every time he had different stories. One time the ring was being repaired. The next time, a new ring was being made. The next time, the ring was supposed to go through his desk before being returned to us and was not.
The last story, was a new ring was resized for my wife and sent to ** for inspection. He found loose diamonds and sent it out to a local jeweler for repair. The last time that I talked with **, I was told that it would be another two weeks. Now, our anniversary has passed, Christmas has passed, Valentine's day has passed, soon Easter will have passed and we still have no ring. We are not happy customers.

I received a watch as a gift, the hands have come loose. I called to inquire regarding service. They wanted proof of purchase. I did not have this information. I then indicated I would pay for repair. Was informed by customer service that after 3 years or without proof of purchase they will do nothing, no replacement or repair. Why spend $200 plus for a watch that cannot be repaired after 3 years. Note my 6 year old $45 Timex will still be repaired by Timex. Don't waste your money or time.

I purchased a tanzanite ring, earrings, and a bracelet for my spouse. The advertising in their brochure does not say these stones are lab created. Instead they say that their tanzanite comes from only one mine. This statement is true regarding tanzanite that comes from the ground. This is not true, when the stones are lab created.
I wanted to get a great buy on this jewelry, but if it was clearly stated that their stones are lab created, I would not have purchased. I was misled by their ads, and their salespeople that their tanzanite was the real thing. You get what you pay for, and in this case, I got high quality costume jewelry when I thought I was getting the real thing.
Beware of this company because they do not clearly state that their jewelry is lab created, and this I consider to be less than honest advertising. Remember, you get what you pay for, and this company does not sell you any bargains, although they sure make you think so with their slick advertising.

I bought these watches in 2012. They broke several times. At first Stauer replaced the watches but I got tired and embarrassed of wearing these watches that would fall apart...crowns falling out, buttons falling off, bands breaking, etc. Now I try to get them repaired and no one else can fix them (proprietary parts). Stauer only offers to repair one of them because the other is discontinued and they won't fix or exchange it, my tough luck...good for trash now. Shoddy products and poor customer service. I regret ever buying these products and discourage anyone from doing the same. Do yourself a favor and stick to Macy's.

I recently purchased a ring for $150 and was charged $19.95 to ship it. I complained to the company that their shipping charges are excessive for shipping such a small item. I complained that their charges are based on price instead of the size and weight of the item and they use the cheapest form of shipping, USPS. If I purchased the same ring for twice the price they would charge me twice the cost for shipping. When most companies today offer free shipping when the cost of the item is over a certain amount usually $150 but not Stauer.
Instead they charge customers excessive fees and keep adding it up higher the higher the cost of the item. Instead of offering me a reason for their high shipping fees they simply referred me to their page that shows the shipping fees, which is what I was complaining about in the first place. I doubt I will buy from this company again. I hope when I receive my ring it's what was advertised as I hope not to fight for a refund.

Stauer has a lot of good items, sometimes at great prices, but if you ever need a return or exchange they do not stand behind their products. They are quick to get an item out to you if you buy it, but if you are not happy with an item you get awful customer service from Stauer. First they put you on the phone forever, then they refuse to even swap out another item of the same kind if it is flawed, even if it is clearly a mfg defect. I sent back a Daimondaura stock # 27097 Rock Of Love "diamond" pendant that I was unhappy with due to a mfg defect in the "diamond." 5 weeks now and no return sent back yet, but they did offer to send the item with a mfg defect back to me... ugh...

The customer service rep got clearance from his supervisor for me to ship it back for a refund, but I felt like they were doing ME a favor.

I received an email offering a very special promotion on a "Rock of Love Blue Heart Pendant", at $12.25 (supposedly a small fraction of the regular price!). Nowhere on the ad did I see the size of the pendant (I remember specifically looking for the size and could not find it), but the picture was rather large, filling up about a quarter of my relatively high resolution computer screen. I bought 3: one for my wife, one for my daughter-in-law, and one for my grand-daughter. When I opened the package I saw 3 bags inside measuring over 3" by 4". At first I thought the bags were empty. After more careful inspection I found a pendant in each bag. The pendant was less than 3/8" wide with no chain (although there was a chain in the picture and nothing in the ad saying the chain was not included).
I would return the merchandise, but Stauer's warranty says something about refunding the $8.00 return shipping and the original purchase price, but they will not refund the original shipping and handling. From that I assume it would cost me $8.00 to return the merchandise, which Stauer will then refund (assuming the returned merchandise meets all of their return criteria!). I had bought some pendants from Stauer before, so I suspected the chain would not be included; but I sure didn't expect the pendant to be so small! I was not totally satisfied with previous purchases, but I foolishly bit once more. I am resolved now to never buy something from Stauer again.
For what you get from Stauer I believe you can get equal quality at equal price at department stores such as Pennies or Wal-Mart, especially when the shipping and handling from Stauer is included and the department stores have special sales. Also, the pendants purchased from a department store usually come with chains! In my experience, the chains offered by Stauer are quite expensive (at least in relation to a $12.25 pendant). So in my opinion a similar pendant with a chain that cost $20.00 to $25.00 in a department store would be less expensive than comparable items from Stauer.
