You will not find a better jewelry store than Desires by Mikolay! Scott & Tara Mikolay are proud local business owners who truly care about their customers, are experts at their craft and go the extra mile to give back to the community that they serve. When looking for my engagement ring, my fiance went to Desires because they had the exact types of styles I was looking for. After the proposal, my fiance commented on how incredibly helpful the Mikolays were during the process and how knowledgeable they were. We recently went back to purchase our wedding bands and it was no different, they took our style preferences and led us to the perfect bands! Desires by Mikolay has something for everyone for any occasion! We couldn't be happier with our rings!

An incredible experience from start to finish

It was an absolute pleasure to buy our engagement and wedding rings from Desires. We worked with Erin, who sourced several stones, assisted in the design process and ultimately delivered a gorgeous set of rings, all in the comfort of our hometown. The showroom is beautiful and accessible, and the team is dedicated to providing best-in-class service. All of our needs were met, our concerns dispelled, and our desires fulfilled. We did not hesitate in selecting Desires and we have and will continue to recommend them to all of our friends and family.

The absolute best!

We got both of our wedding bands from Desires by Mikolay and could not be happier. The team created an insert ring for me (the bride) with two diamond bands that fit my engagement ring in between. The Desires team took my engagement ring and sized the rings to fit perfectly. The end product is exquisite. For the grooms band, they have a variety of types, finishes, and sizes to find the perfect ring for the groom.

Service is wonderful leaving no questions unanswered and ring production was extremely fast. Desires staff is happy to help build your perfect piece and is accommodating of all budget levels.

I would highly recommend Desires for any of your wedding jewelry needs.

Amazing service for engagement ring

I recently purchased an engagement and the experience was incredibly. The salesman (David I believe) was incredibly responsive over email and very available over the phone which made making the decision smooth and easy once I went into the store to finalize the stone and band. The entire team was helpful and kind!

Wonderful experience!

The team at Desires is so kind, responsive, and professional! David assisted my husband in designing and creating my beautiful engagement ring. David was available to answer any questions and made the process seamless and enjoyable! David and Tara also helped us with our wedding bands. There was a wide selection of designs to choose from and we had a lovely experience! We couldn't be happier with our choice to go to Desires!

Bride + groom

Long time Mikolay employee Dave assisted my husband with the design + purchase of my engagement ring as well as the thoughtful design of my wedding band-turning a family heirloom into a meaningful modern piece. I also found a stunning band for my husband. Dave was thoughtful, timely, warm + engaged throughout our process. We are so grateful to have worked with Desires!

Amazing and Very Easy

We picked out wedding bands. The process was very easy. Scott had choices ready for us based on a prior conversation. He could. It have been nicer or more helpful. We will be back!

Exceptional Jewelers

I’ve been going to this jeweler for years and when I got engaged, I knew they’d be the perfect team to help with my special day. They spent months with my husband fixing up a family heirloom engagement ring that was just perfect. They helped my husband and I find out perfect bands to go with it. Overall, very responsive, helpful, attentive, trustworthy! I still have them do insurance checks and cleaning for my ring today year+ later! They’re amazing

Perfection

The staff at Desires by Mikolay is by far the most talented and professional group I have had the pleasure of dealing with. From the first consultation to the finished product, the after sale care and genuine commitment to my satisfaction was heartfelt and exemplary. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
