Great Service and Attention

Both locations at State College and Altoona offered me great service and attention. They offer a comfortable buying experience, and I was able to purchase just what I wanted. Thank you to Tim, Kaylee, and Mark. I look forward to buying moe in the future.

Most Pleasant Experience Ever

We went to Kranich's in Altoona, PA to find an upgraded engagement ring and wedding band for our upcoming wedding vow renewal and celebration. Monica was the most patient, kind, and helpful individuals we have ever met. She took the time to find out our likes and dislikes, budget, and helped us to understand our payment options. She did not feel one bit of pushy; you can tell she enjoys helping customers and isn't just trying to make a sale. If you go to Kranich's, please seek out Monica for a genuinely pleasant shopping experience.

We recommend Kranich's Altoona store to everyone

Several years ago, I searched for fine wedding ring sets for my wife and I. I'm from Arlington, VA (Washington, DC area), now living in this area a well, and travel extensively. I searched in the DC area, NYC, Atlanta, Dallas, LA as well as the internet. My family heritage is Bedford/Blair County to where I additionally searched. Then, we met Connie at Kranich's Altoona store. In our opinion, Connie is superb sales woman and could sell anything to anyone in the most classy, upfront and honest way. She doesn't just try to make a deal, she listens and questions your likes, your styles before moving forward.
Since our purchase of the rings, we have come back numerous times to make purchases through Connie. I bring my numerous watches as well as for maintenance to the Altoona store.
Connie, along with Bonnie and Michael, treat us first class and very respectful. We have found their deals to be most comparable to other vendors around the country, but with better quality and deals, attention to our needs, detail, and full customer satisfaction. We are not looking to impress anyone or to get anything from this. We just believe that people like Connie, Bonnie and Michael need to be acknowledged for being outstanding sales people on all levels.
They operate in the old fashioned way. We plan to continue to make Kranich's our place for purchasing jewelry and the like because of the way they treat people. We're glad to share our experiences with Kranich's in our circle of connections.

My husband is a loyal Penn State fan so it was only obvious that we chose Kranich's for our wedding bands after they supplied me with a beautiful Engagement Ring. They worked with my husband on any questions he had for the engagement ring and even combined a couple of different styles so it was what we both liked. With the bands themselves we had gone up there to get my engagement ring inspected for the warranty and found our bands without planning on it. Since it was so far in advance from the wedding (2 years) they let us do a layaway plan so that we could make payments and keep the ring at their store. we go back to see them every 6 mo for the warranty checks and every time we walk in the door they are all smiles and remember us. We got married about 1 1/2 mo ago and my husband's band is now too big as he lost some weight. They have been extremely helpful in finding a replacement as his ring is not able to be resized. Everyone at the College Street store has been extremely helpful and wonderful to see each time we visit.

We got our wedding bands from Kranich's, and I also had a pearl necklace restrung. We were able to use layaway to pay for our rings, which really helped since we were paying for so many other wedding-related things. They also gave us a very good deal on the rings since we bought them together. The pearl necklace was a gift from my grandmother and I wanted it on a white gold chain since the rest of my jewelry is silver/white gold. I was a little nervous to have the pearls restrung, but Kranich's did a beautiful job and it only took 2 weeks.

When I first got engaged my ring was a size to big. I took it into the store and they originally told me that it would take two weeks to get it resized. I couldn't bare to live that long without my ring! The man helping me noticed my small panic and told me he could have it done in four days! I was so happy with the new fit.

My fiancé and I purchased our wedding bands from the Kranich's in downtown State College, PA. The staff is so polite, and they do t try to pressure into buying before you are ready, they helped us find bands that fit exactly what we envisioned, had a great layaway plan, and definitely didn't overcharge us. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in Pennsylvania.

My fiance purchased my engagement ring from Kranich's, and I couldn't be happier. We went in to look at rings together, and the sales person was wonderful. She showed me around the store while my fiance talked prices with the manager, and distracted me while he bought the ring without me knowing! When we got engaged, the ring was too big. I took it to be sized, and they told me it would be two weeks before I got it back--the last thing a newly engaged bride wants to hear. I explained that my birthday was coming up and all of my family would want to see the ring. Rachel from the downtown store told me that she would pull some strings to get the ring back sooner, and she did! I had my ring back on my finger two days later. We will definitely be buying our wedding bands here.

There is nothing like working with a shop like Kranich's. Mickey, at the downtown State College store provided us with top notch service. He stayed late with us as we looked at engagement rings (and helped to get my husband to buy my dream ring). They kept my husband updated during the process of making the ring and even sent him pictures. They call us every 6 months to remind us to have the settings checked. We went back to Mickey again for our wedding bands and again, he helped us to find the perfect match for my engagement ring and a band for my husband. We'll be back for many an anniversary, Christmas, and birthday present in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
