Skylight Jewelers

My wife and I had our wedding rings made here, and we could not be happier. My ring is platinum with a patterned rose gold inlay that was very complex to forge. The metallurgy of putting gold inlay on a ring is not straightforward and the pattern is quite specific in its composition – also, I wanted it off-​center. Spencer was able to achieve all of these things, and the result is magnificent.
My wife’s wedding band had a different set of challenges. Her engagement ring is a vintage ring (~90−100 years old) with intricately detailed engraving all around, and her hands are delicate. In addition to his own depth of skill, his workshop and extended network are also deeply talented – he was able to find an engraver who could properly, and beautifully, replicate the vintage engraving from the engagement ring for the wedding band. They match perfectly.
In addition to the pure skill of his craftsmanship, Spencer has an incredible sense of artistic aesthetics. He intuitively understands what types of shapes best complement what types of hands and fingers. And he really listened to us throughout the process.
I am still amazed that he was able to create these rings that embody so much in terms of personal stylistic preferences. He was able to craft a wedding band for my wife that did justice to her slender delicate hands, and he was able to forge a ring that makes my pudgy, padded Vienna Sausage fingers somehow look graceful.
Lastly, the prices he charged were no more than at any other place we looked at but, in our opinion, the quality of the craftsmanship and the level of service he offered us was unparalleled.
People like Spencer are part of an ever-​diminishing class of true craftsmen. The opportunity to have our rings made by him is something I will always appreciate.

Don’t usually write reviews, but this place deserves it. Took my opal ring in to get a couple emeralds replaced and tightened, was done about a week later. It looks so much better than before and it was very reasonably priced. Spencer was super helpful the whole time and made everything so easy. Will definitely be back in the future if I ever need something to do with jewelry done again!

I go to museums to look at jewelry around the world, but I buy jewelry in Boston from Spencer. The best things I own are his work.

I did a lot of research into jewelers, prices, methods, etc. before deciding that Skylight Jewelers was the best place to go to get a custom designed engagement ring.
Spencer, who seems to be the owner/​head person, worked with me one-​on-​one to design a ring. He was honest, helpful, and fair. He knew all about the current trends, what worked, what didn’t. He was able to take my rough ideas and make them all work together to design an amazing ring. When it was all done, the price was extremely reasonable – even lower than I expected.
What stuck out to me about working with Spencer and other staff about Skylight Jewelers is that they take so much pride in the actual art of jewelry making. If I had an idea that they did not think would look great, they would tell me honestly, even if it would lower the cost of the ring. Spencer was excited to actually make the ring and work on it.
If you are going to propose, you’ll need a ring. If you need a ring, get a custom ring. Hopefully you won’t need to buy too many engagement rings in your life, so when you do buy one, get one which is unique and unlike everybody else’s. Get one the fits you and your significant other’s tastes exactly.
Two other quick things: Skylight can work with any sort of stone. We decided to do moissanite instead of diamond. They were very helpful in helping me pick it out. Also, they seem to do much, much more than just engagement rings. They have lots of interesting jewelry in the shop.

Spencer custom made my beautiful engagement ring and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He is meticulous, detail oriented, truly an artist, and will go the extra mile to ensure you’re satisfied. His staff are warm and friendly and there is zero sales pressure! His rates are more than reasonable. It’s clear that Spencer is truly passionate about his craft and is darn good at what he does! Recommended with no reservations. I’ll be back to have the wedding bands made!

When I was looking for the right jeweler in Boston to design an engagement ring, I found Skylight on Unilocal.The reviews are what got me to walk in, and I’m so glad I did! My now fiancée and I went in and spoke with Spencer (the jeweler) and his colleague (a woman whose name we can’t recall, but she was awesome!). We were looking for moissanite and from the moment we walked in, they were accommodating and honest. We purchased two rings, one totally custom and one edited from a design we liked in the case. Ultimately, our experience designing and buying both rings was flawless. Our rings are gorgeous, and we couldn’t be happier.
We’ll be returning for our bands. If you’re in the market for moissanite (or anything!) I really recommend checking Skylight out. Spencer worked with us on style, budget, and got to know us a bit, ultimately delivering us exactly what we wanted!

We initially walked into the shop where Skylight Jewelers is based because of these playful wood sculptures of violin-​like objects by Philippe Guillerm that were displayed in the window, and I’m so glad we did. A few months later my boyfriend proposed with a custom engagement ring from Skylight Jewelers.
It’s the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever possessed, and my fiancé really enjoyed the design process with Ed Spencer. In contrast to the other jewelers he visited, this was a low pressure experience where he felt his budget and his taste were respected.
Ed Spencer is a gem. His work is exceptional. We’re so happy to have found him, and he’ll be making our wedding rings as well!

I brought in an old, damaged ring (it had belonged to my girlfriend’s grandmother) with lots of intricate detailing all over. I asked Spencer to fix the original and then create a replica of it. He did an amazing, amazing job. My girlfriend (now fiancé!) couldn’t believe the accuracy with which he’d created the replica ring: one of the only ways to tell them apart is the very shallow setting the older ring had. Spencer was communicative, friendly, and helped me make something really really special for my proposal.

Excellent for custom design or the search for something unique. Spencer is an artist as well as magnificently skilled jeweler. He can work with you to make something very unique within your budget. Recently, I asked him to design and create a ring and explained my vision. He used some of my «old» jewelry that I could not use any more and incorporated that into my newly designed ring which I love and can wear everyday! Magic!

Spencer and his team are first-​class: the jewelry designs are stunning, and the service is wonderful. I hung around talking and looking at various items for a long time before making my purchase, and we had coffee, too. Pay them a visit not just for the lovely sights, but also for the excellent company!

Very knowledgeable staff and beautiful pieces. They can also make you anything that you’d like. I was staying at the Omni and needed my ring cleaned and happened to pop in. I’ve passed their info to my friends who are looking for their wedding bands. I was impressed by their designs and enjoyed their friendliness.

My husband selected Skylight for my engagement ring because of the beautiful designs and high quality rings. We had our wedding bands custom designed and made by Spencer, and this was one of the best parts of the whole wedding planning process. He worked with our budget and came up with rings that we absolutely love. It was a great experience.

I won’t buy jewelry from anyone else. Beyond the pieces in his gallery, Spencer will design your own custom pieces. I don’t live in Boston so we correspond via email and phone, and Spencer sends snapshots of wax models until it’s exactly what you’re looking for. He does beautiful pieces in 18K and 20K gold, and with any kind of stone. If you can’t make it to the store, check out his blog for more examples of his work.

I had my wedding ring made here. Spencer does great custom work and will work closely with you to match your budget.
