“This isn't the first time I've ordered from Stauer”

Karen B.
4/10/24

This isn't the first time I've ordered from Stauer. Each previous order was handled well, and items received in a timely manner. Very nice jewelry items at good prices. These purchases will be prizes in the raffle held by the non-profit organization to which I belong. We had a couple of necklace and earring sets last year, and they were popular prizes. I expect these will be, as well. Thanks for the coupons, helps a lot...!

“Your advertising is a gimmick”

Harry R.
12/26/23

Your advertising is a gimmick. AARP magazine ad doesn't say that the chain isn't included. Web site changes the prices after items go into cart. Discounts appear and disappear seemingly at random. Your shipping charges are ludicrous. It doesn't cost $19.95 + $4.75 insurance to ship a 2 ounce item by regular UPS. You're just trying to make back some of the "discount" on the items.

The jewelry will take your breath away. Stauer carries jewelry in so many different gem stones you will get dizzy just looking at their catalog. I've purchased about 50 rings over the years. I love their watches too. I have about a dozen of them! Many watches and necklaces were given away as gifts.

Tip for consumers:
My Black Diamond concierge, Jeannie Peters is terrific. She could sell a cat to a mouse!

Did you know a woolly mammoth is really an early elephant! Well, research the fine collectibles in the products of Stauer and you will discover some earthy and unearthly products for your beauty and the beauty of your collection! And at first if a phone representative does not fire your imagination be patient, be pensive, relax, breathe, take pause and call back. You will get a different representative.

Cheap crap. Maybe if you spend 4 or 5 hundred dollars you might get something that doesn't fall apart (literally the bezel fell off when I replaced the dead battery it was shipped with) on the first day. BTW their internals are plastic with Chinese characters (they're made in China that's why it takes so long and costs so much to ship) way to rip off octogenarians living on fixed income.

Tip for consumers:
My aunt who is 86 gave me a watch. It was crap. Call me if you need to verify I'm real. The house number(call only,no text) *******392

I ordered an item for my 50th anniversary. It never showed up and I never received a notice that the item was no longer available. I had to make other plans. When I looked at my account it indicated backordered, later it was cancelled but I never received a notice of any kind. Better communication with customers would be a great service and don't offer items that aren't available.

Wouldn't honor my membership certificates. Never received them and wouldn't replace them.

Reason I chose this business:

I have used Stauer in the past and I like the quality of the products. I was once a member but Stauer failed to send my certificates and wouldn't send replacements. Because of that I quit using Stauer. I recently decided to give them another try and bingo, poor customer service still and products advertised that are no longer available. I think I just made my last order.

Reason I chose this product:

I like the uniqueness and quality of the products that I have received.

I always dream to have a "Helenite" from Mt. Helen to tribute & remenber each person that is gone due to this momentum... Then checking always "Stauer" found the Pendant & Ring and bought the "Heart of the Volcano" for my wife and Everything was perfect from the description/placing the order/time if shipping and receiving plus the presentation of the items was worth for my Queen. "Thank your Stauer", you are #1...

Tip for consumers:
"Stauer" is a #1 Company over all...

Stauer aggressively sells Platinum memberships when customers call to order products. At three different times, I repeatedly stated to the agent that I did NOT want a Platinum membership. When I received an email confirmation of my order, a membership was listed and included in the charge to my credit card. This is a dishonest and unethical practice to include memberships in customers' orders without their consent or even when a customer specifically says that they do not want a membership. Unless you check your emailed order confirmation carefully, you might end up paying for something you did not order.

* Stauer attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Stauer offers a broad spectrum of quality jewelry, watches, sunglasses and more. They totally stand behind their products and guarantee your satisfaction. They also offer a first class concierge service and will gently remind you of birthdays, anniversaries and special events, and will even offer suggestions for your gift-giving needs. Their representatives are kind, patient and happy to help. The never "pressure" you and do NOT work on commission. If you have never tried Stauer, I highly recommend you give them a try. You will be glad you did <happy smile>!

Placed order for my Eagle Eye glasses and received them in 4 to 5 days. Glasses were as advertised. I wear them on bright sunny days and also partly cloudy or thin cloud days that are still bright. Glasses are very comfortable.

Reason I chose this business:

Advertisement from a magazine.

Reason I chose this product:

Looking for glasses that would enhance vision, instead of just darkening the light.

Recently my wife has reconnected with a cousin and they have become good friends. The cousins husband collects Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. We are invited to a barbecue at their house and we will give him a model 1957 Corvette from Stauer.

Reason I chose this business:

Unique items at a very reasonable price.

Reason I chose this product:

The 1957 Corvette is a gift for a relative who collects Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. Even though the scale is larger, I am sure he will appreciate it since he is a "car guy".
Our son in law collects wristwatches and Stauer has many unique wristwatches at very reasonable prices. We have already giver him several.

Before deciding to order this Swiss Noire Bienne Leather Watch, I searched the Internet on Seiko, hoping to find one that is made in Japan, suits my taste, and is affordable--only to no avail. Anyway, this Swiss watch looks great to me. Hopefully, it would last long for me.

Reason I chose this business:

Stauer gives an informative description of each watch presented on its website. I read it carefully and found it helpful for me to make a purchase decision that would not be based mostly on emotion.

Reason I chose this product:

Basically, it was a Swiss-made watch, for which I have faith in its quality. Hopefully, it would last more than ten years since the design looked simple, elegant, and timeless.

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

Here's the Stauer difference: We don't have wholesalers. We don't pay rent for expensive shops or hire expensive celebrity spokespeople. We go directly to the source and make the product ourselves. Last year we bought 2 million carats of emeralds and 9 million carats of amethyst. The local store might buy 20 or 30 carats a year from wholesalers who mark up their product by about 50%.

We’re getting the better deal and we pass the savings on to you. Because at the end of the day, true value comes from leaving $1,600 in your bank account and still being able to own one of nature’s most fascinating gems.

Stauer is where you go to honor the triumphs of living. Honoring milestones or celebrating the joy and beauty of the love of your life. It’s the story of history, art, science, of man’s fascination with the beauty of nature. We don’t overcharge you for a little blue box; instead we will take you on the romantic journey of a lifetime.

Business History

It all began with a bracelet.
In 2002 our CEO purchased a $1,700 blue topaz and sterling silver bracelet for his wife for their anniversary from one of the most famous jewelers out there. It was nice. But $1,700? What gives?

On a trip to Bali and he asked a local jeweler if he could make me the same bracelet. And he thought why not go out all out, so he asked him to make a few improvements on the original. The jeweler delivered. But it was the price that struck him the most-$60! Almost 97% less than what our CEO paid. That’s where the idea for Stauer was born.

We started Stauer to revolutionize the jewelry industry.
Every time we get an amazing price on emeralds, rubies and other precious and semi-precious stones and see the same stones in jewelry stores priced 5 times higher we validate our theory: that the rarest and most exotic beauties are much better priced than the big brands have made you come to believe.
