Unexpected Experiences

Hear what Hands customers are saying about our outstanding staff, exceptional service, and one-of-a-kind selection.

Hands Jewelers is ‘hands’ down the best jewelry store in the entire corridor. No question. The second I walked in to get my watch battery switched, I was greeted with three smiling employees who were nothing short of eager to help and assist with my watch.

Riley Mullane

The kindest staff with the best customer service. Helped design both my engagement and wedding bands, which were gorgeous and affordable. Had an issue with my wedding band and fixed it immediately the same day at no charge. Best jeweler in Iowa City hands down!
