Reviews of Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry
Sharp Construction
First time Rolex purchase! Dan and his team were absolutely amazing! They made the buying experience easy and fun! Looking forward to the next one already!!! Highly recommend!

I loved the attention I received. They helped me get a watch that had been a life long goal of mine for as long as I can remember. The owners made the event very special for me. I drop in most every time I come into town. The owners will come and say hi, we will get to talking and it never fails that they will have something new and cool in for me to see. They are currently making a ring for my wife. I must say they definitely took a lot of time with us to get exactly what she was after. I will and have recommend these guys and must say their family owned shop is definitely the way to go.

OVERALL- I would highly recommend Paul Medawar location to my family and friends. Great customer experience and BEST pricing. My family drives 1hr 15m to come to this location even when there are closer Medawars near us.
EXPERIENCE- I’ve been to many jewelers when shopping around for diamonds. I looked into jewelers in metro- Detroit, greater- Lansing, and metro- Atlanta (cities based on where I know people). By far, the Paul Medawar location was the best experience I had. The biggest difference was in the the CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. Other places, I felt rushed and after few questions, I felt like I was taking up too much of their time and they were getting annoyed at me. However, with Danny Medawar, he really took his time to answer every single one of my questions, take extra time to educate me on diamonds, give me more of an “insider” information on how other jewelers would price things based on batch shipments, and take time to give me pricing on every combination of 4Cs I wanted. I believe Danny doesn’t get general batch shipments. He looks at every diamond individually. That’s the thing I always couldn’t trust with other jewelers. I felt like other jewelers gave me slightly lower quality diamonds for the price. But with Danny, you know what you’re getting. I was talking to him and he mentioned he actually had to correct GIA’s 4C rating. GIA actually corrected it based on what Danny saw! He is one of the strictest diamond graders. I say this but Danny is extremely humble and down to earth. He is such a sweetheart. Additionally, he has THE BEST PRICING.
COVID- they have acrylic window dividers. They provide masks and hand sanitizers. The space inside is very big with high ceilings.
PARKING- ample parking on the property.

I want to thank Daniel and Dave for bringing my family heirlooms back to life and for my first luxury timepiece purchase! I also bought two Seikos from the store.
The Medawar family is the best in the industry and truly cares about their customers.

So, I was on my way to the airport in Grand Rapids and had some time to kill before my flight so I decided to drop by and check out their watch selection. It turned out to be one of the best experiences I have ever had at a jewellery store, ever!
I walked in and was greeted promptly and super nicely by the lady who buzzed me in. I said I was interested in looking at watches so she had someone named Dan come out to show me what they had.
This proceeded into 1.5 hours of great conversation about watches, the industry as a whole, my collection, his collection, etc. This far ranging conversation was great, relaxed, unhurried, it was like talking with someone you knew for a long time and not at all like a normal sales interaction.
So, close to the end of our conversation, he hands me his card, on it is printed ‘Daniel Medawar’. I’m floored at this point, I cannot believe that this guy I have been chatting with for so long is none other than one of the owners (3rd generation jewellers!).
If you haven’t been to this store and you are local or even just passing through you owe it to yourself to get to know Dan and his staff.
Amazing experience, I will 100% be back to actually pick something up for myself or my wife. These are the kinds of people that you build a lifelong relationship with.
PS: I almost missed my flight, I was enjoying the conversation so much, but it would have been worth it even if I had to catch a later one!
Hannah Dalstra
Paul Medawar has the best selection in Michigan. On top of their gorgeous pieces, the environment is neat and welcoming and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. You can go here for the vibes only, as they are no pressure sales and genuinely want to get to know their clientele, although you will want to get your hands on their unique jewelry. Whether you leave with a bag or not, you most definitely will be leaving with a smile.
Bryan Christie
Dan has been really helpful in my trips to Paul Medawar. He was able to order in a Seiko watch that is otherwise difficult to find and is an excellent communicator and salesman. The entire staff has been personable. I will definitely be back in the future for both watches and jewelry.
Mykola Prisichenko
It is always a pleasure to visit the store and get lost in conversations about watches, jewelry, or life in general. I have never felt rushed or pressured when browsing or purchasing here which is a rare and valuable experience to find. With their clients, it is clear that they value making memorable experiences rather than making sales—and this is evident from the moment you enter the doors. If you are looking for a place where you can confidently purchase a timepiece that will last a lifetime, you might as well do it with a local family-owned company that will keep you in good hands for that lifetime.
Mani Sharma
I was celebrating a career milestone, I got in touch with Dan over the phone and discussed my needs. We spoke at length, then I followed up to make an in-store appointment to meet up. I will focus this review on my experience than the product.
I hold intial conversations in high regard. Dan is down to earth, very knowledgeable and is passionate about his craft which makes interactions a pleasure. He listened, educated and also made suggestions which aligned with my needs to my surprise. Dan went above and beyond to understand my needs, my milestone and its importance to me and was able to deliver which delighted me.
During my purchase I got the change to meet other store team members and the experience was harmonious which is rare these days.
What I would say is that no one would be disappointed or have a less than perfect experience here.
I will close by saying that its also a privilege of the companies' Dan and his team represent.
Alex Dombrowski
I recently visited to verify authenticity of my absolute favorite watch. I was greeted immediately and offered refreshments with a very short wait to meet with David. Met with David and the entire experience was first class. You can really tell that he loves and appreciates the brand. I felt bad about taking up so much of his time but he spent time going over the functions of my new timepiece as well as the history/heritage. Very thorough from the operation of the crown, setting the date and time, features of the clasp, etc. We spoke about what these types of timepieces mean and discussed how individual customers preferences are when it comes to the function, dial, complications, weight, and overall feel of the timepieces. This was the most time that I have ever spent in a jewelry store and I didn't even buy anything. You can just tell that they really enjoy what they do, and that they have the same passion for the timepieces that the customers do. I was able to view and try on some of the samples that they have in order to get a feel for the weight, the movements, the clasps, and really judge how the timepieces look on the wrist which I think is vital. I cannot describe with enough detail what a wonderful customer experience this was. 100% 5 stars. I am sure that in the near future myself and my family will have something that we wish to celebrate with a once in a lifetime purchase and I am sure it will be from Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry.
*****Update....
I love this place. Customer service is always 110%.
Recently spent time in store with world class 5-star treatment even though I hadn't purchased anything. During that visit I spent a couple of hours in-store checking out brands and really taking a nice tour of different timepieces.
I had my eye on a timepiece from that visit, and decided to return to kick the tires and see if my first impression was correct. The buying experience was phenomenal. I really love these particular timepieces and I am so glad that I bought from Paul Medawar. I was able to take the timepiece I was interested in and see it next to other types of the similar brands models and that was not only fun but it made me feel good about my particular selection.
So much of my interaction with the timepieces that I am now interested in is not done justice by looking at a brochure or a magazine or a website. The tactile experience of the weight, the material, the gloss, the details on the dial or the turning of the bezel is not something you can ever imagine until you are actually experiencing it first hand. I'm actually a little bit intrigued that certain models I thought I might now ever be interested in are now at the top of my list, while others that I always knew I would love are now even more important for me to hopefully have the opportunity to purchase in the future.
This time I worked with Dan and he was just as delightful to do business with as his brother David. Again you can just tell that they both enjoy this business. The knowledge that they have of the products is unparalleled. Plus you get the peace of mind of knowing that you've had the opportunity to really see what the finest watchmakers offer in terms of the materials, the movements, the sizes of the cases, the intricate details of the dials, and the history/story behind these timepieces. The entire experience is built around the customer and the thing I love about it is that you (the customer) are encouraged to explore. Feel this material. Check out this dial or this bracelet. See how it fits. See how it feels. Find out if you honestly like this size or if one size is preferable over another. This kind of customer service is unheard of in sales. I LOVE IT. It's no pressure, and 100% customer focused.
They custom fit the bracelet and installed my custom strap which was awesome!
I love shopping here. I honestly believe that these gentleman love this business. It shows. I am so happy with my decision to do business with Paul Medawar. Phenomenal. 5 stars doesn't do it justice.
I will be back soon!
Matt Tevlin
Had a fantastic experience here. I contacted them through their website to buy a Seiko SSK001 watch. The process was very easy and Dave couldn't have been more helpful. I would recommend Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry to anyone. I will definitely be making more watch purchases here!
Tim Hogan
Go see David for your Rolex service. Had a great time discussing my watch and all the history (30 years worth) I brought with it. He truly will take the time to discuss tour time piece. Never felt rushed or like a number. Truly superb customer service.
James Rathbun
At some point, hopefully sooner than later, you find that quality, workmanship and relationships are the most important things when choosing a business or buying an item. You can then trust that what you buy will be worth the visit. Paul Medawar Find Jewelry gives you that confidence and has for years. The selection of watches and jewelry and most importantly, the service is simply the best.
Austin Arthur
I will be a customer here for life. I was really struggling with jewelers; nobody could make the engagement ring I had designed until I came here and met Dan. His patience and persistence in making the ring I had designed were unreal. He not only made it absolutely perfect but he made the process truly enjoyable and gave me a great price to top it off. Seriously, I'm a product designer by trade and this is one of the best collaborations I've ever had, unforgettable. If you're looking for an engagement ring, COME HERE. You're welcome.
Thank you so much Dan!
Clayton McArthur
I’ve now visited on two occasions and had the pleasure of speaking with both Dave and Dan. I was very impressed with their level of engagement from the minute we were introduced and willingness to allow me to try on several exhibition pieces. I look forward to doing business together!
James Rathbun
At Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry you don't just buy a watch or a fine piece of jewelry. You get the full unconditional backing of a family owned business, one that brings you in as family. I can't say enough how much better it is buying a fine watch or the perfect piece of jewelry from here then anywhere else.
AJ Casas
I’ve been into the store twice now. As a person who is passionate about watches, you dream about an opportunity to try one on wrist. Dave & JP made that experience truly special. You can tell they care about watches and it makes the experience all the better. It simply is about loving watches. I’m waiting for a Rolex and can’t wait until the day it arrives. Don’t be intimidated and go check them out! If you love watches, you’ll love it there.
Edit: Wanted to follow up on my previous review but allow some time to enjoy my purchase first. Since my initial review, Dave & Dan were able to get me one of my dream watches. It's a beautiful piece and I couldn't be happier with it. I also recently got engaged and purchased an amazing ring from here, with the help of Melissa. Any future watch or jewelry purchases I make will be from here. They are amazing people. Thank you!
Mckellar
Super awesome staff and really helpful, they always keep the store clean and always give you the best recommendations when it comes to what you are looking for! Forever going to be my jeweler!
Mike Massie
Dear Team Medawar: Thank you for taking care of the service on my GMT Master II. 5 stars is not a good enough rating. It is absolutely gorgeous (add a star). Customer service is off the charts (add a star). Attention to detail, unbelievable (add a star). The staff, superb (add a star). My watch, an Officially Certified Superlative Chronometer. Without question, this is the place to come for watch answers (add a star). Never once (NEVER) (add a star) did I feel like they were more interested in selling me something. Dave & PJ took care of me and both made me feel welcome with genuine friendliness (add a star).
Each guy was wearing some awesome Rolex’s. A platinum model and a rose gold model (add 2 stars). This is the place to come to talk watches, see watches, and try on watches (add a star).
15 stars out of a possible 5. If you want to see some great watches, come and see these folks. I want to get my wife a nice strand of pearls. I didn’t price them, but I will buy it from Medawar.
Richard Tran
Excellence down to the last detail! Dan and Dave took care of me throughout the entire process of getting my limited edition SEIKO; from ordering, to resizing the bracelet, and even showing me other watches from the collection. Fantastic experience and will surely be coming back for more watches and jewelry!
John Pusta
Wow, I can't believe it took me so long to write this review. We got engaged in August, 2017. I have to say the entire Medawar staff was amazing from beginning to end. However, I have to give a special thank you to Dan Medawar. I had a ring that was custom designed and he walked me through every step. He made sure to text or email me and keep me updated with the progress of the ring. He made the entire process smooth and easy and I cannot say enough good things about him.
I had a vision of the ring and he reassured me that it would be exactly how we wanted. She was blown away by the ring and she still talks about how much she loves it.
I'll definitely be going back to this jeweler in the future!
Nathan Hindman
Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry is hands down the best jewelry and watch shop around! I can't thank Dan enough for making my 25th wedding anniversary truly memorable by surprising me with one of my dream watches. He's the best! From the first time I met him he's treated me like an old friend. I stop in whenever I can just to say hello and talk watches. I would also like to thank Dave for spending the extra time with me to get the watch to fit just right. I would highly recommend their store for any jewelry or watch purchases as they are highly knowledgeable and have helped me immensely with both. I wouldn't bother looking anywhere else. I look forward to years of working with these two on all my future purchases. Thanks again!
Darren Fedewa
This afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting with Dan, who I have to say is one of the best salespeople I've ever met.
I've long admired Rolex watches from afar, however due to the high demand, I've never actually held one in my hand. Dan was the first ORJ salesperson to give me the chance to see Rolex's exceptional quality up close & in person. As a watch nerd, I sincerely appreciated the amount of time he took to chat with me & discuss the unique design elements across the line of Rolex watches.
Even though my desired watch wasn't available to purchase today, I am very grateful to have met such a professional & helpful team at Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry! Keep up the great work!
Jackson Maitner
This place is amazing. I had no expectations waking in the store. I left with a whole new outlook on what a luxury watch is. Dan went well above and beyond to counsel me and figure out what I really wanted. Dan has a passion for what he does and it shows. It is really cool to see a business that has passion for what they do and it is amazing the way they conduct and share their passion. Definitely will be back!
Andrew
It's very rare that I write a review, but I had such an excellent experience here today that I feel it needs to be relayed to anyone who is looking for a jeweler or watch dealer.
Melissa was very professional and took the time to show me several watches that I want to add to my collection, even teaching me some things I did not know about them. I have no experience with diamonds or rings but she had me up to speed in a matter of minutes. She is clearly knows what she is talking about and is very good at communicating that knowledge to the customer, even a complete beginner like myself.
I then met with Dave, who took over an hour of his time with me discussing watches, watchmaking... and programming. This was truly a genuine conversation and at no point did he try to sell me on anything I wasn't interested in. Dave is an expert in his craft and passionate about what he does.
I have never had such a positive customer service experience. I was in the store for at least two hours and felt welcome the entire time. I look forward to doing business here for years to come.
Aaron DeYoung
Always a great experience shopping with Dan and Dave! All of the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend you shop here for both jewelry and All watch needs. Thankful for my recent purchase and excited for future purchases! Thanks again for everything!
Paul Mcgraw
New watch - one that is not available at any Auth Dealer except by rare luck. Ordered one and as fortune would have it...after a reasonable wait...one arrives. Dan managed the entire transaction perfectly; I could not be more pleased with the experience and professionalism and of course - the new watch is a thing of beauty. Highly recommend this as your go to jeweler.
RJ
It was an absolute pleasure working with David. They are masters at what they do, and have earned my business for a life time.

I usually don't write reviews but but Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry, specifically Dan is your man and your place to go for any Jewelry requests. My partner had no idea the kind of ring she wanted and Dan spent over two hours with us curating every detail with the highest level of customer service that transcends this industry. His passion and level of experience made us feel confident he'd create something truly special. A memorable experience to say the least. We'd recommend Dan and Paul Medawar every time and we'll surely be returning to this family business.
Craig Richardson
Daniel and JP are wonderful to work with. They provide the highest quality of care for their customer’s experience, and truly want to help you find whatever you are looking for. It is easy to tell they are passionate about what they do. If you ever have any questions about jewelry or watches these are the experts you need to call first.
Lucy Kirkwood
My husband and I could not be happier with our experience at Paul Medawar. We got our engagement ring and the wedding bands here. The quality is outstanding with prices that can not be beat. Dan is very professional, easy to work with, and an expert in diamonds as well as all jeweler for both men and women. No pressure, and no upsell like most other jewelry stores.
Q Ruchty
Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry is the best! The staff are passionate about jewelry/watches and do a great job anytime I stop in. They create long term relationships in a down to earth and professional manner that is really refreshing. Make time to stop in and experience it yourself!
Yum Pouch
I had a clock repaired several years ago and it stopped working after about 2 months. I recently wrote a negative review about it and was contacted by the owner the next day. He talked to me about it, invited me to bring it back in and he repaired it a second time at NO CHARGE! He was polite and attentive and I am thoroughly blown away by his service. My husband went in to pick up the clock and then decided to buy a piece of jewelry from them! He also had a great experience with Mr. Medawar. While I can't speak to the longevity of the clock repair (although I'm sure it will be fine), I can most definitely offer my endorsement of this shop for quality of service and plentiful inventory. Thank you!
Aubrey Jones
I cannot say enough positive things about the Paul Medawar team. They not only helped us choose the perfect engagement ring they also worked with our budget, showed us as many ring options as possible until I was finally able to decide, I never felt rushed and every question was answered thoroughly (and I had a lot of questions). The staff was beyond friendly and my now fiancee and I never once felt like they were only after our money, it genuinely felt like they wanted us to find the perfect ring.
This was just the first appointment!
During the ring purchasing process the customer service was again impeccable, my fiancee told me how well taken care of he felt and because of work plans changing he needed to pick up the finished ring earlier than expected. The Paul Medawar team worked around the clock to make sure he was able to get it on time.
I can honestly say we are excited to go back for wedding bands and any other future jewelry purchase!
Harsimar Singh
It’s such a very good and beautiful place for people like me who loves watches. The people are very friendly and very helpful at the same time they support you a lot to find your future watch and they made me feel very comfortable. I definitely recommend this authorized Rolex dealer!!
Jeremy F
The best watch buying experience!! I have purchased several watches through the Medawar this year. I Drive 2.5 hours from Northern Michigan to do business with Dan and his family and I will keep doing so. Real family run business that actually care about the customer experience. Its nice when your purchasing high end watches to actually be able to have someone talk to you about the piece in detail.
On the last trip I also bought a Seiko as a gift. While Paul was sizing my Omega, Dan gift wrapped the Seiko without saying anything because he knew it was a gift for my father.
Pricing is very fair even compared to reputable online sites. I cannot say enough about these guys and the measures they will go through to make a customer feel important.
J G
I went in to get a battery replaced on my daughter's (very inexpensive ) watch. Dan was very helpful, friendly & treated me as if it was a watch I purchased there.
The person that usually replaces the watch batteries was not in this week.
Being from out of town I could not wait, so Dan took the watch and replaced the battery himself!
I Can't thank you guys enough for the fast and courteous service I received.
I will be back. Thank you so much!!!
Ryan Kennedy
I had the pleasure of working with Dave throughout the process of servicing my Rolex and the service provided was top notch. Dave was very professional and kept great communication the entire time my watch was with him. I picked up my watch and it looked brand new as promised and was even done on time. I will absolutely be purchasing my next watch through Dave or Dan and recommend anyone else do the same.
Neil Hoskins
Went in on my lunch break to kill some time and look at Rolex's and Omegas. As a salesperson myself, I was incredibly impressed by Dan's professionalism and knowledge of the products. He took the time to explain every detail of the products to me and eventually I landed on a great watch. I also really liked how I didn't feel pressured by him to make a decision or purchase. Would recommend him to any friends that are in the market for watches or jewellery.
Amanda Taft Herr
Outstanding customer service! The staff made me feel very comfortable and the staff is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Judith Rice
This family business is absolutely wonderful! My wedding ring broke and I brought it in to have them repair it. My anniversary was in a couple of days and they went out of their way to finish it quickly before my 46th wedding anniversary so that I would not be without my ring. They do not send out your items when they need repair, they have experts on site.
My ring was so beautiful when they were finished with my repair, that my husband had them add another diamond to it. We highly recommend Paul Medawar for your fine jewelry because of their high quality pieces and their wonderful personal service. They will treat you like family!
Thank you for helping me Paul and your wonderful sons!
Chris Smith
Dan and his staff where very knowledgeable and so helpful with my purchases. They have made a loyal and very happy customer. Can’t wait to come back and pick out my next beautiful watch.
Stella luna
This jewelry store is GREAT! Great service, great knowledge.
I wanted a Rolex, so I went to Paul Medawar, an Authorized Rolex Dealer. I walked into Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry, feeling a little bit sheepish. I didn't know anything about fine watches, I wasn't even sure how much a Rolex would cost me. Dan was there to help me out. He asked me questions about what I liked in a watch. Often, my answer was, "I'm not sure." He would explain the options, show me examples, place watches on my wrist. Slowly we narrowed it down. I would try a watch on, then others, then back to the first. Dan was always listening, asking questions to help me clarify what I wanted, what my aesthetic was, (honestly, I didn't even know I had a "watch aesthetic"-but I do and it is quite specific.) Dan explained how different styles might meet my needs, pros and considerations, different options. I left about a forty five minutes later, having narrowed the field, but still unsure. I needed to think about it.
A few weeks later, I went back to Medawar and was so happy to see that Dan was there. We again looked at styles, talked about options-I was really beginning to hone in to what was going to be the watch for me. I told Dan that I wasn't quite ready, but I would be soon.
I finally made my decision and I am now a proud owner of a beautiful Rolex watch! I can not recommend Paul Medawar more highly. I was treated with respect and patience. I was educated about the product I was going to buy. I never felt like I was getting a sales pitch. I never felt pressured. I felt like this was a fun adventure and Dan was an expert who would help guide me. Great quality of service!
Tracy
The amazing service I received from Dave was, by far, the absolute greatest customer service that I have ever received. He made me feel like I was family, and that he was looking out for my best interests. I stopped by with questions regarding a ring that I had purchased elsewhere. Dave was extremely kind, professional and very genuine in his interactions with me. He definitely went above and beyond to assist me and provided valuable education. He even graciously polished my ring free of charge. There is just a sense of authentic integrity at Medawar's--it's hard to explain, you have to experience it. Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry has it all: STUNNINGLY beautiful jewelry and top-notch service. Five stars for sure.
MJB Verhil
I stopped into #MedawarJewelers this weekend and Daniel assisted me with fixing the chain on two necklaces. He offered to do it quickly while I wait and free of charge. I bought my husbands wedding band from Medawar's as well. Time to give the stellar review. I've been to #Medawar many times for assorted reasons and have experienced nothing but exception service and a stunning assortment of #Finejewelry!! Thank You!
Samuel Rhew
Dan and Dave are amazing to work with. Fair, kind, and trustworthy are but a few attributes under which they operate. I let them know what I was looking for and they helped make it happen. If I could give them 6 stars I would.
Zachary W
I was in the market of finding a new band as well as updating the gadgetry in my watch. It is an OLD Chesie watch, with a circulating train as the second hand, passed down from my great grandfather to me as a high school graduation gift. When I walked in, I was quickly greeted by the owner himself, who passed me on to his grandson, who is a watchmaker by trade. Not only did they provide excellent service on the watch itself, a true family heirloom of mine, they praised the piece for its antiquity and inner mechanisms. I have to say I was really impressed at how great the service was. Furthermore, I wanted to take a picture of my watch to share with family and friends, and the grandson taught me a cool trick on how to capture it in just the right light.
I rarely write reviews for things, but it was because of how highly reviewed the folks at Medawar were that lead me to going there in the first place, so I wanted to pay it forward. The staff here really know their stuff, and were incredibly friendly and accommodating along the way. I have yet to wear the watch since getting it revamped, and am eager to do so in a week when I receive my doctorate degree in physical therapy. I can't think of a better way to honor my great grandfather. Thanks for all the help!!
David Smith
Dan and Dave Medawar are the most knowledgeable and down to earth people I have ever met. I have bout a couple Rolex’s from them and always been blown away by the customer service they have provided… highly recommend giving these guys a shot before you go somewhere else. Alec S.
Ryan Moore
Fantastic Jeweler. I have visited several times and have been happy every time. I work in a retail position and am sensitive to customer service that might me lacking. You'll have none of that here.
I had been having trouble with a watch. David repaired the watch and I even got to watch him work on it. It was very interesting and the Rolex room is beautiful! I would recommend this jeweler to everyone.
Chelsea Lynne
Professional is an understatement!! Every single aspect of my experience with Becky and Dan at Medawar was carried out with the utmost respect, class and warmth. They helped my now fiancé and me design my engagement ring, hand pick the center stone and gracefully guided us through the process from start to finish. No request was too big and no question too silly for these experts in jewelry. We were treated like we were there to buy a $50,000 Rolex, when in reality our budget was very modest for my ring. They made us feel very important and cared for, which put us at ease. My ring is the most stunning thing I've ever seen and Becky was able to design exactly what I had envisioned. Highly recommend. You CANNOT go wrong!!
Kelly Smith
I received a new watch from my fiance as a birthday gift and needed to have a link taken out. Dan was extremely friendly and helpful. He took the link out while I waited and made sure the watch fit comfortably. The entire process took only about 10 minutes which was helpful since I was on my lunch break. My (late) grandmother was a loyal customer of Paul Medawar for many years, and I can see why!
Jim Stanford
If you are looking for honest, professional and fantastic service, Paul Medawar’s is the place. Dan, Dave, & JP have continued to treat me like family since first meeting them. My family and myself will continue to make the drive from Lansing and be customers for life. Fantastic experience!
Asif Khan
This is the place to get your high end Rolex!! The customer service and the attention to detail by Dave Medawar and his father was exemplary and I came away with not one Rolex but two!!!
I cannot understate how much I value the time and the courtesy afforded to me, and I highly, highly recommend this place if you’re looking to buy a Rolex or an Omega.
I drove all the way from the greater Detroit area to purchase my dream watch and I came away starry eyed! Will be back again for sure!

I am so incredibly satisfied with the service I recieved by Dan and the Medawar family. Myself and my (new) fiancé did not feel pressured or rushed to make the final selection. Dan took the time to explain the best options, educate us on the particulars of fine jewelry in terms of setting, diamond quality and sizing. I feel absolutely and incredibly confident that we made the right decision with the ring and with our decision to use the Medawar family business rather than going to one of the larger chains. Thank you so much, couldn't have asked for a better experience!

They really know their watches. And if Rolex is your thing, look no further. Dan and Dave are the epitome of congeniality and professionalism. Whether you’re in for a repair, a routine cleaning, a perusal of their inventory, or the latest update from Basel, these guys have got you covered. They’ll remember you, welcome you, work with you, go the extra mile for you. I’ve been to Rolex authorized dealers in larger cities and, while the product may be the same (often with a smaller inventory!), the customer experience doesn’t even compare. If I could award 6 or 7 stars I would.

Trying to find a something special gift for a very special someone is not easy for me. Maybe it’s not easy for many people. This task is made all the more difficult in recent years due to the disappearance of personalized customer service. Let’s face it, online retailers and even “brick and mortar” retail has descended to a pit of non existent , apathetic and sometimes downright rude interactions between customers and the business who allegedly expect the customer to throw money at them in exchange for a product delivered with bad attitude and minimal service and no follow up customer service care!
Medawar Jewelers and especially the staff exemplify the exact OPPOSITE of that! Each time I go in, I am treated with a genuine appreciation for my presence and my potential business. Even the times when I am just “window shopping”, I am treated with the same attentive high level of service that anyone receives at Medawar!
From the first time I was there years ago, until today (yes, someone special needs a token of my love), the staff at Medawar delivers without a doubt , the highest level of customer service and customer shopping experience and most importantly customer follow up care that I have seen at ANY retail establishment....anywhere.
I could not give a higher recommendation!

I recently went to Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry looking for help on getting an appraisal on some gems that I inherited.
Dan was amazing. Not only was he informative on what gems I had, but helped me figure out what I could do with them.
Tom Rysdyk
Dan & Dave Medawar are the best in the business. Working with these guys made it possible for me to enjoy my dream watch. Thank you. Enjoying my GMT 126711CHNR.
Michael Snider
I came in to have the wristband swapped with cases on my two watches and they went above and beyond my expectations. I left the store shedding tears of joy. Truly they gave me an unforgettable experience!

Going in I felt a little uncomfortable because I know nothing about fine jewelry and have never been in a store like this before. But, I immediately felt welcomed. The owner and all of the staff seemed genuinely friendly. Rebecca was very helpful, kind and patient. I found something there that I fell in love with but since it was my first store I thought I should shop around a bit. After going to Jared, I realized it was going to be a waste of my time. I just knew I was not going to get that level of service anywhere else. I highly recommend Medawar for their great staff and excellent customer service.

I had the most amazing experience picking out my engagement ring with Dan Medawar at Medawar Jewelers on Plainfield.
First, let me say that not all of the Medawar's are the same. They are owned by different family members and each location has different inventory. I visited all of the Medewar's amongst dozens of other jewelers and the location on Plainfield was by far the absolute best! They had a wonderful selection of engagement ring settings, diamonds, and they were reasonably priced. I never felt pressured for one second to spend more money than I had budgeted or to purchase right then and there. I worked with Dan and he listened to what was important to me and used his expertise to help find me the perfect ring. He answered all of my questions, was very informative, and made me feel extremely special. I would strongly recommend working with Medawar Jewelers on Plainfield. Be sure to ask for Dan; he will give you the ring shopping experience that every girl dreams of.
Deb Cain
This is the 1st time I have been in Medawar. I stopped in today because I lost a pin in my watch.
I felt very welcome right from the start with the fast, friendly service. I had a chance to look around while I was waiting and there are a lot of unique jewelry choices.
My husband and I have been looking for a jewelry store now that we are on the North side of town. They are now my favorite Jewelry store. Thank you for the fantastic customer service.
Kiley McGiness
Dan was soo helpful and is a true expert! Impressed by his ability to meet my very picky needs. I had a valuable family heirloom diamond to be placed in a more modern engagement ring setting. We had looked at jewelry stores for months all over northern and western MI not finding anything special. Dan helped us order the perfect Verragio setting. Their selection was jaw dropping. Other stores wanted to ship the diamond in the mail to be placed. Ummm...no that's not okay. Here they had a jeweler who i personally met, and I even had him design a custom wedding band to match the setting perfectly. They communicated every detail with me, had sketches, a mold to approve, and it was done quickly and worked with us on price. I stare at my ring everyday and cannot believe how unique and gorgeous it is! I wouldn't trust any other place with a family heirloom...this is definitely the most secure and love how its family run. We drive from traverse city for their products and assistance and will absolutely be back!

They don’t just sell jewelry but they also make you feel like family. Best customer service I have ever experienced in my life. If I could give them 6 stars I would. If you go anywhere else for your watches, rings, necklaces, earrings or any other kind of jewelry your making a mistake because this place is by far the best.
Katharine Pope
I have had nothing but supreme service from them! Dan goes above and beyond to make sure you are getting EXACTLY what you want. My fiancé brought me there to design my ring, and I don’t think I could have done it nearly as well without Dan’s expertise. Also, a year later, I needed my ring resized, and they were quick to help me. I could go on for days and days about why this was a fantastic experience, but you should really go see for yourself!
Jeffrey Wonacott
The entire staff at Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry was excellent. No pressure. Patient. Professional. Courteous. Dan and Dave were singularly focused on customer service. I highly recommend this jewelry store.
Derek Drudy
Have always had a wonderful experience here. The selection is very nice but what sets them aside from the rest is the wonderful service. My most recent service was a small repair to a dolphin shaped earring. The service quick, professional and PERFECT! Thank you! I will definitely be back.
Derek Huizinga
I have spent time at most of the fine jewelers in Grand Rapids. However, the Medawar family is the only one who has the entire package: service, experience, craftsmanship, generational longevity, patience, prestige, and branding. Go anywhere if you are looking to simply buy a piece of jewelry. Visit Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry if you are looking for value from a family jeweler partner for life.
Steven Girard
If you want to buy a Rolex watch, this is the store to shop. Dan Medawar's enthusiasm for and knowledge of the brand is second to none. I stopped at the store several times before the purchase and the staff could not have been more patient or courteous. I could not have been happier with my purchase.
Sarah Stickney
Everyone here is the real deal - very kind, professional, and helpful beyond measure. We had an heirloom diamond to reset and Dan creatively helped us with his ideas and expertise. The Medawar’s are service-minded people who demonstrate their values in every interaction you have with them. I cannot imagine going anywhere else.
Kal Kanaan
FAMILY. It’s all you need to know with this business. Start to finish, you feel that from everyone in the store. They were helpful in helping me with my purchase, simple transparent and fun! Best price too; but the warmth is like FAMILY! Dave is amazing and so caring. Dan and Jennifer are as well. Thanks to Team Medewar so making my experience so special!
April Williams
Awesome Awesome place. Went in with a broken clasp on my necklace hoping to get it repaired. They fixed it within 5 minutes at no charge. I will definitely be returning soon to make some purchases. Would definitely recommend everyone to check them out.
jeff lumpp
Dan was wonderful to work with. I appreciated his passion for his trade. Along with his brother. Great family business.
Jason Isenga
If you are seeking an experience and partnership that has your interest #1. I highly recommend David & Dan at Paul Medawar Fine Jewelry. My experience to-date has been first class, thank you!

Aaron Topping
Brought my Oakley Double Tap watch in to get the battery replaced. Was in and out in about 10 minutes total. Service was friendly. No complaints.
ANGRY BEN
They sold me 2 watch bands and put them on for me. I didn't buy the watches there. Most places wont help you if you didn't buy the watch there.
You can get seiko products cheaper on line but if you are in the market for an Omega or Rolex, give the Medawar family a visit. They have treated me well.
Jamie Groom
Excellent repair services and friendly sales staff. They helped me in a pinch with my favorite watch. I will definitely return to Medawar for future fine jewelry and watch needs.
Cheryl Schwieters
The Medawar family is nothing short of fantastic. Whether you are coming in for a routine cleaning or shopping for something special they go above and beyond and treat you as if you are their number one customer. I cannot say enough about their professionalism, kindness, and knowledge of their craft!
Tim Spitler
Medawar Jewelers is staffed with the most friendly, helpful, knowledgeable people. Dave is simply the master when it comes to fine watches and repair. Would recommend them to anyone!
Alexa Kopach
Wow! Couldn't be more impressed. Dan spent so much time making sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted and wasn't pushy in the least. He even contacted Tacori about several custom options for me on the spot. They're just so knowledgeable about their products. You'll be in good hands if you go to here.
BARRY B.K.T
I have been a customer of Paul Medawar for a while now and im convinced this team is the best in Michigan! Dan Medawar , Dave Medawar and the whole team are fantastic. Fun professional and enjoyable exsperience every sigle time. A+ guys see ya again soon.

Joe Bernethy
I brought in a watch I had purchased elsewhere to be fitted. Dan helped me immediately and answered all of my questions. Everyone I interacted with was polite and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.
Alison KM
The friendliest family of jewelers that also treats you like family. Very low pressure sales and want to help you find the right pieces at the right time. Even my kids like to stop in, say hi and grab a hot chocolate.
Denisha Klingler
If I could give Medawar's more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend working with Becky - she's knowledgable, helpful, genuine, has wonderful customer service and is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend Medawar's if you want top of the line quality service!
Shawn Roth
Helpful and kind staff. Make you feel like you matter to them when if you are only spending a little vs someone buying a 6000 dollar watch.
Brandon Baker
The people there are very polite and they know their stuff. I went to get my watch resized, the older gentleman said I was missing a spring bar, he said if I find it he will resize it for $10. Come to find out it was on my kitchen floor. I returned there and he resized it free of charge. Would recommend this for everyone.
Stacie belonga
Changed my husband’s watch battery, only one in the Grand Rapids area who would. Very friendly
