I recently had the pleasure of visiting Howards Jewelers and I must commend their outstanding service and expertise. My experience was nothing short of exceptional from start to finish.

From the moment I stepped into the store, I was greeted warmly by the staff. What struck me most was Frank's unwavering patience and willingness to understand my preferences. He took the time to listen attentively to my requirements, guiding me through the impressive collection of Rolex timepieces.

The professionalism and dedication exhibited by Frank, made choosing my Rolex an unforgettable experience. His commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction was evident at every step.

I am delighted with my purchase and immensely grateful for the guidance and support provided by Frank and his team. I would highly recommend anyone in search of a Rolex timepiece to visit this Authorized Dealer for an unparalleled experience.

My wife and I wish to express our appreciation for the pleasant experience and the considerate attention we received from Jessica who advised us for our purchase of diamond stud earrings. After her thorough explanations, we confidently proceeded with our choice.
It was pleasant to see her on the 3 succeeding when we were in the store. We felt that we had received personalized attention and « special treatment ».
Thank you Jessica!

Came into the store the other day. I was interested in purchasing a Rolex Lady-Datejust as a gift for my fiancé. Had a similar experience like many people who commented below. Basically was told by the owner to beat it. According to several former employees, they sell most of the rolex watches they receive to resellers out the backdoor for a bigger profit. This Rolex AD should lose its rolex license.

Wonderful experience at this store. I recently celebrated my 30th birthday, and prior to that visited Howard’s to inquire about a watch and get some specifics. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient, catering to all of my questions and requests. I have been a watch enthusiast for quite some time and am aware of the difficulties many AD’s currently face in todays market, yet Frank and the team went above and beyond to come up with a great plan for me, and they delivered! I cannot say enough about how comfortable and at home I felt here, thank you again and I will definetely be returning!
19 November 2023 20:12
After multiple email exchanges inquiring about how I could go about obtaining a specific Rolex reference, I was eventually made to feel as though I was asking for a handout/favour. I went in knowing about the worldwide supply shortage, and was willing to wait 1-2 years to get “the call”. Although, the associate I spoke with, Frank, clearly leveraged their position as Ottawa’s only authorized Rolex dealer when he suggested that “he’d like to see me also buy a gift for my wife”. I called about a purchasing a watch, how buying jewellery for my wife was brought up is beyond me. I suppose $20,000 for a watch isn’t sufficient enough for Howard’s.

I implore anyone reading this to also read all their one star reviews on Google, you will find numerous individuals mirroring my exact sentiments regarding their preferential treatment of “generational clients”. Despite the evident pattern, Stephanie‘s response is consistently the same: utter surprise and concern, followed by a history lesson of her father’s great accomplishments and being a family owned business, but the fact is, they clearly have SLIMEY business practices. The consensus amongst the watch community forums I belong to is that their business model is based on satisfying their wealthy, repeat customers, while the rest of us are expected to fight for scraps. I am currently in contact with Rolex HQ to ensure they are aware of my experience and how their business is represented in the nation’s capital.

Institutions such as Howard’s perpetuate the 'old stock Canadian/good ol' boy’s club' narrative, and thus, their culture strikes a chord much louder than one’s inability to purchase a Rolex. Howard may have been a man of the people, but they have clearly changed course since his departure!

Update to Stephanie's response:

1. I updated my post to reflect the review I posted on your Facebook. My apologies for deleting your response to my original post.
2. I mentioned that I spoke with Frank. I was put in contact with Frank after multiple email exchanges with Jonathan. If you had taken a minute to talk to Frank about 'Sam', the 10 emails where I detailed the reference I was looking for would have become apparent, which included my email and phone number. You could have easily found my contact information, rather than insisting that I call you.
3. I did not think it was a “personal attack” that you didn't have the watch I wanted, in fact, I went in knowing you wouldn't have a single Rolex in stock, and that I would likely have to wait 1-2 years for the reference I want. It's only when it was explained to me, in loosely veiled language, what it would take for me to get “the call” that made me upset, and like I mentioned twice now, the fact that all correspondence stopped when I made it clear I was only interested in purchasing a watch.
4. You've made it clear that the “4th generation” relationships are Howard's priority, which validates my concerns. You say a wait list is not feasible, which again, points to the fact that you provide the watches to who you want, not who wanted them first. However you want to explain this away, it all points to the same thing: preferential treatment and unfair business practice.
5. I suppose everybody who is saying the same thing in your reviews is wrong? Unlikely. It's time to look inwards.
6. No “warmest wishes” for me?

Excellent products, excellent service, and, most crucial excellent taste. A gem in town. Thanks a lot to Frank, who is very experienced and has a keen eye for beauty. Frank can find the perfect match for my mother-in-law, my husband and me. We are all very impressed with his excellent sense of aesthetic and colour combination. It was a very satisfying, happy and no pressure experience with Frank and the whole team.
19 May 2023 23:38
Very very bad experience those sell representative always trying to sell me 50k of Jewlery to sell me my first rolex after many years of waiting never got a single watch from this horrible Rolex AD

They made me wait years and years nothing not even a Datejust 36mm

Don’t go there to buy anything
Spend your money wisely choose other Ad that respect their clients and respect Rolex rules not buy pass them to make extra money from the back door
13 May 2023 13:28
I found out through a friend that this Rolex AD (howard fine jewellers in ottawa) is selling hard to get watches out the back door to resellers. Explains why they never allocate anything decent to local shoppers. Can't imagine they will keep the AD license very long doing this.

10/10. Jessica helped me pick out the perfect lab diamond and also helped me understand what to look for. I appreciated her patience and advice and that was the reason I opted to go with Howards. I brought in a picture of what I wanted and Jessica said to trust her and I’m glad I did.

Fiancée loves the ring and we are both thankful for Jessica. Great personality, patience, supportive and I felt no pressure at all.

Thanks,

Justin

My experience with Howards began several years ago when I was looking for my wedding band with my wife. At that time we met Sonja and from that a great professional relationship was born. It is so nice to have a contact with Sonja and the team at Howards who are so knowledgeable and professional. This is their home and career, and so even though I deal with Sonja every time I go in (over the last 7 years) I see the same people smiling and welcoming me.
One amazing thing about Howards is their ability to do custom pieces when necessary for you and the team is right there on site which is so cool and instilled a lot of confidence in me that Howards is a family, a group of professionals who are there to deliver to you the product that you want and they can advise you as necessary. I have never felt pressured there and always feel comfortable whether just browsing or when inquiring about a product.
Sonja helped me design my wedding band and the final product the team delivered was fantastic. She has helped me with gifts for my work team and for my wife, even a gift for myself.
Thank you Howards and thank you Sonja.

Nice store with friendly staff and quality products! A special thanks to Frank for allocating the watch that I wanted and matching it with the perfect jewelry. Looking forward to seeing you again!
06 February 2023 21:31
Called midmorning, polite gal on the other side who forwarded me to the watch service gentleman, Adam, where I got all the info I needed. Headed in later that afternoon, getting one of my watches sized and cleaned up.
Took all of 15 minutes! Great staff, chatting with one of the service department members, Alex. Thanks so much! I’ll be back for sure:)
05 February 2023 4:20
My experience with Howards has been nothing but exceptional. Given the current environment to purchase a Rolex I knew wait
Times would be longer. Frank treated me with a great deal of respect and kindness. The level of knowledge was quite impressive.
Every time I would go in the store I was taught something new about gold, diamonds and timepieces. Frank was transparent
With me from day one on the length of time it could be to acquire a timepiece all while being respectful and kind. Thank you for the amazing service.
Howards is our Jeweller of choice
01 February 2023 21:56
Wife and I have been to Howard Jewellers a few times in the past year. From our very first visit, we were well taken care of. Even though we have primarily worked with Frank, the entire team at Howard Jewellers has been welcoming and attentive.

Frank has been a pleasure to work with. He was very helpful and understood our needs when we needed to purchase a ring. He made the experience of selecting and customising the ring very memorable.

On the day we took the delivery of the ring, not only did the ring look great but we were also surprised with a watch my wife had been dreaming about for some time.

Overall, we had a great experience at Howard Jewellers and could not be happier with the service we received.
28 January 2023 10:21
Howard's is, by a mile, the best jeweller I've ever been to. Sonja has been consistently one of the most professional, kind, and diligent people I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. If you need some jewellery - ask for her by name. You won't be disappointed.

I came into Howard's a little bit burned by my experience with other jeweller's - customer service can often be lacking if you're not obviously wealthy. Howard's doesn't play that game. They treat you with kindness and professionalism no matter who you are.

Sonja's ability to make you feel welcome, to engage with you on a personal level is genuine. That approach has guaranteed I will be a customer for life at Howard's and I'll tell all of my family and friends that it's THE place for any and all fine jewellery.

I really can't overstate how nice it is to feel more than just "I bought something there". I feel like I have a genuine professional relationship that I can refer to down the line for all sorts of occasions. It's not "that place I bought some jewellery" - it's "my jeweller". That's a very nice distinction to make. Howard's is pure class from top to bottom. Go there and find out for yourself!
23 January 2023 18:53
The service provided at Howard Fine Jewellers by far exceeded my expectations. I brought in my grandmother’s wedding rings to be resized for my own use, which is a quite a vulnerable experience as I was putting such special pieces in the hands of complete strangers! I am beyond pleased to say that Raffi and Andrey, the metalsmiths, did a fabulous job. The craftsmanship was exceptional and my hopes were executed flawlessly. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone whom is looking for a trustworthy and personalized experience. Which brings me to my experience with Alexandre - Upon arrival, Alexandre was an instant support system which I desperately needed, as I definitely felt in over my head. I can say with full confidence that he truly cared about me, and immediately understood the importance the rings held. He was so unbelievably patient and understanding, and provided such knowledgeable guidance. I walked away immensely more knowledgeable and confident. I am so grateful I was able to have this interaction, as it left me utterly sure of my decision to trust Howard Fine Jewellers with such a special piece of my family. Thank you again to everyone named above for making this such an incredible experience, you will definitely see me again soon!
23 December 2022 21:35
Worked directly with Frank and he was exceptional to deal with. Very knowledgeable, friendly and personable. He was able to source a Rolex for me on my wedding date in July. Couldn't recommend Frank or Howards any more. Pure class.
05 December 2022 3:06
Brought in a Tudor for repair, service exceeded my expectations. Staff are very professional and courteous.
02 December 2022 6:25
Have purchase few gifts for my wife here in the last 6 months and Sonja and Stephanie have been amazing in getting me just the perfect pieces of jewellery!
Highly recommend shopping here I will definitely be a life long customer
28 November 2022 2:20
If you ever need a precious ring resized, do yourself a favour and take it here! Alex was thorough and friendly and offered updates throughout the entire process:)
15 November 2022 16:39
Very rude, dirty, superior looks from the entire staff for being there not in a tuxedo, told us to get out since our budget was under 7,000 for a ring, said they were
"doing us a favour by letting us come in and see their jewelry"
08 November 2022 14:14
Security is intense (understandably) but staff is SO kind and inviting! Luxury stores like this are stereotypically “snobby” but that’s certainly not the case at Howard. They didn’t have the watch I was looking for, and despite the fact that they knew I wasn’t going to be making a purchase and continued providing flawless service says it all!
05 November 2022 3:06
I was visiting the store to try on the display models from Rolex It was a wonderful experience very welcoming staff and specially sonja was very friendly and helpful even though they didn’t have any Rolexes for sale she took down my information to contact me when the model I want arrives and even gave me the newest Rolex catalogue looking forward to make a purchase from her and also getting some jewelry for the wife from there
14 October 2022 8:11
Purchased a tudor style as my first serious watch. Jessica was great. Very professional and not pushy, even when I took a week to actually pull the trigger. Answered all my questions and provided great service. Highly recommend
30 September 2022 6:12
Had my watched serviced and it came back keeping perfect time.
The staff are very professional.
12 September 2022 3:43
Just made my first purchase from Howard’s. Sonja K. Was able to get me a Tudor Pelagos FXD. A really hard watch to find. It looks amazing on my wrist. She spent the time to talk about further items I’m looking for in the future for a milestone birthday I have this fall. Let me try on a bunch of showcase watches to get a feel for them. Just a pleasant experience. The entire Howard’s team are great. Looking forward to my next purchase from them! Highly recommend them.
08 September 2022 2:00
Needed a battery replaced for a very special watch, and they were able to do so, as a walk-in, within minutes. Very friendly, very professional. Highly recommended! Thank you
18 June 2022 12:03
My partner and I had a great experience with Howard Fine Jewellers. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. We worked with Stephanie and Frank for months to find and customize a ring, and it turned out perfect. Highly recommend for anyone in the market for an engagement ring - they were fantastic!
01 May 2022 13:22
Can't recommend Howard's enough. I had inherited an engagement ring from a relative that was in rough shape, and could not be fixed short of being completely re-cast. My fiancé and I chose to have a new ring custom-built based on the old ring, and the folks at Howard blew us away. New ring is exactly what I was looking for, and is a perfect mix of the old ring's style with some more modern elements. Jess and the rest of the team were so helpful and kind, and made the whole process a dream. Many thanks to these folks!
27 April 2022 15:06
I have to say a big thank you to Howards & his team, nonetheless, we are sincerely grateful to Frank, who took the time to assist my Fiancé (& my father and all of his friends lol) choose the perfect engagement ring. Frank listened to the characteristics that I wanted and respected my budget. He made the whole process smooth and stress free and in the end, helped me find the perfect elegant diamond ring and band set:)

I look forward to making future purchases with Frank at Howards again and I am happy that the service really lives up to it's impeccable reputation.

#HappyWife, HappyLife Thank you Frank!

Best Regards,
Kristina & Fahed

Even though I never had the chance to purchase a Rolex at Howard’s, Miss Jessica Yve and staff
has always been welcoming and helped me and my family in the most kindest way by servicing my Rolex’s without question and always with a kind smile
12 April 2022 4:09
Great experience working with the staff at Howard. Stephanie has been great and we have purchased a few watches here. Never been disappointed
03 April 2022 21:46
Thank you Stephanie for all the great help to get my hubby’s gorgeous Rolex for his birthday He is super happy!
03 April 2022 11:22
Couple months ago, I came to the store to shop for Rolex watch. I was welcomed by a great staff. However, I didn’t made the purchase since they didn’t carry the one I love by the time which is Daytona steel one. But the staff gives me advice that I can call the store often to check the watch’s availability. And if the store has it, I could come in to make a purchase.
So today I called the store and asked for Rolex stock availability, I was transferred to the Rolex sales department. The lady who answered the phone first asked if I located in Ottawa. I said yes. Then she asked if I was in their system which means if I made purchase before. I said no, this would be my 1st purchase. Then she told me she won’t sell any professional Rolex collection because of this. And I asked if the store have any Rolex watches to choose from. She said no. I don’t like the fact that she is asking me to purchase other classic one before she would sell me any Daytona. And I’m not enjoy the experience with this staff.
02 April 2022 15:47
Really fantastic customer service at this location. Personally I met with Sladjana who spent almost an hour with me getting to know me and learning what it is exacltly that I was looking for and how they could support my needs. Very much worth your time to pop in if you are looking for quality jewelry, a custom peice or luxury watches.
21 March 2022 17:52
What a great experience I had when I visited Howard’s Jewellers with my wife. I highly recommend them. Frank is a great knowledgable sales professional and we were very happy dealing with him. We had a great time chatting with Stephanie who we felt that we knew her for quite some time:) Extremely Happy with my purchase experience at Howard's. They treat customers like VIPs. Thank you
14 March 2022 17:42
A dream come true. I was finally able to get my first Rolex (a watch that I have admired since I was a child) 3 weeks before my Birthday! I must thank Stephanie who arrange everything with my wife for making the occasion an unforgettable one. She was very knowledgeable, equally enthusiastic and kind. She always made my wife and I feel very welcome. I am really looking forward to coming back for future years to come.
Thanks

I came in to have some jewelry cleaned and repaired. The service was amazing and Emilia who cleaned my jewelry was super helpful and friendly.
20 January 2022 12:07
Stephanie helped my fiancé and I pick out our wedding bands and made the entire experience magical from start to finish. Stephanie is amazing, she made sure we both loved our bands, and treated us like family from start to finish. We look forward to purchasing more pieces from Howards in the future.
15 January 2022 2:41
I had my first experience doing business at Howard's yesterday, very impressed with the whole operation. The young lady at the front entrance was very friendly to me. Inside I met Sladjana who I had made an appointment with earlier, to look at 2 Tudor watches in 32 and 36mm, as I was deciding which size I wanted to go with. Ultimately I chose the 36 but they did not have the dial colour I desired. Sladjana was incredibly kind and helpful and put in an order for the model I wanted.

Even though I am not a high profile customer and I made a relatively small purchase, I do not feel as though this affected the service which I received, as I have experienced this before whilst working in and dealing with the jewellery industry in the past. Thank you Howard's, and I am looking forward to my watch! Peace and love to all:)
11 January 2022 15:26
My spouse and I have had several transactions (buying 2 new and 1 vintage watches, servicing another watch, upgrading an engagement ring and repurposing the original stone), all successful with the kind assistance of Sonja, who is great: friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The store has an excellent selection of tempting items. We’ll be back!
08 December 2021 12:23
Sladjana was lovely to deal with and the store did a great job replacing a lost diamond on my engagement ring.
06 December 2021 3:18
It is with tremendous pleasure that I share my experience over the past several weeks with Howard’s Jewellers.

I was really taken by surprise by the exceptional service I received. I was greeted by Sladjana Roknik and I quickly realized that my initial experience was just the beginning of something unique and wonderful.

Sladjana’s warm welcome, her meticulous and caring personality has defined, at least for me, a level of professionalism that is among the very highest that I have witnessed in my lifetime.

From beginning to end, her smile, politeness, kindness and follow through with respect to my requests were simply outstanding. She seemed to forget everything that was going on around her and focused her attention to me as a preferred client despite never having met me before. Suffice it to say, she has taken customer service to another dimension.

I am sincerely grateful that Howard’s has an employee of this caliber in their ranks and I would truly hope and recommend that anyone considering the purchase and servicing of a treasured gift, have the distinct privilege of meeting this “Perle Rare”.

I brought several rings that I inherited to Howard to have them appraised, resized and have a new ring designed using the stones on two of them. I am so pleased with the result, as is my grandmother who gifted the rings to me.

Stephanie and Emilia immediately understood the importance of these pieces to me and to my family and walked me through every step of the process with the utmost care. Stephanie immediately understood the type of new design I was looking for and suggested a creative alternative to resizing one of my rings by turning it into earrings. They went above and beyond to ensure that the pieces fit me, both my fingers and my personality.

I would highly recommend visiting Howard for any your jewelry needs. Their service is impeccable. Thank you everything. I will definitely be back.
25 November 2021 5:28
I want to thank Sonja specifically for providing me excellent service and getting me the watch that I wanted. First to note, as I feel
this was an important trait in how she conducts business and how good her customer service is. This specific watch had some history and a situation occurred which I prefer not to reveal out of respect to everyone's' privacy but in this situation it truly showed Sonja's client/customer loyalty as well as due diligence. Owning a business myself, I highly value what she did and just shows how great her loyalty is.

Everything about this transaction I believe was meant to be, everything was extremely smooth and it all worked out in the end. She was not eager for the sale, she gave me all the information I had asked for and was extremely knowledgeable. I also appreciated her opinion as she made a great point regarding this specific watch.

Sonja's nothing short of amazing, she communicated with me throughout the whole way and followed up with me after my first initial visit and we were able to conclude everything in a short time frame. She has such a positive, friendly and upbeat attitude and is very down to earth and I am so glad that we worked together in finalizing the purchase of the watch. I will definitely look forward to some of our future and upcoming transactions for not only watches but jewellery as well.

Upon finalizing the sale of the watch I had come in last minute as I was tied up during the week. Sonja wasn't expecting me to come in at such short notice but even then she was so efficient in concluding everything from the purchase and didn't make me feel rushed at all, even though the store was near closing hours. She was also acted very promptly for a request I had last minute as well.

All the staff at Howard's were very helpful and professional and I highly recommend visiting them for not only watches but for there jewellery as well. Overall an excellent experience and atmosphere. There is a reason for their strong reputation and long history of being so reputable.
10 November 2021 22:29
Yesterday I went into Howard’s Jewellers with my boyfriend to meet with Jessica because we wanted to customize my mom’s old engagement ring into a more modern band. Jessica was wonderful with a lovely sense of humour! She answered all of our questions, made me feel at ease and made choosing Howard’s Jewellers a very easy decision. I’m so excited for when my boyfriend pops the question because I’ll know it’s my dream ring that was brought to life by Howard’s Jewellers. Thank you much for everything Jessica!
09 November 2021 9:21
Walked in to get information about the Rolex Submariner. They told me they did not have any and that even if they did, they would not sell it to me. They basicaly told me to go somewehere else and wished me good luck.
08 November 2021 2:05
I’ve been a customer of Howard’s for many years. While they have beautiful jewelry available I’ve personally used their services to design unique pieces. I'd encourage anyone to think about this as an option at Howard’s. Most recently, I worked with Stephanie to design an heirloom piece, and step by step she helped me translate a basic idea to an improved design and construction. The end product was fantastic and the experience of getting there was great.

My experience has been that Howard's will stand behind what they make and sell whether it is new construction or an estate piece. An issue has only arisen once, but when it did, there was no issues which was a huge relief.

If Stephanie is not available, don't worry. This positive experience of care and diligence has been a common theme in my customer experience. Others I've dealt with, like Frank, have shown similar care so you'll likely be well served regardless. Without a doubt I'd work with Stephanie and/or Frank again.
19 October 2021 19:18
Extremely Happy with my purchase experience at Howard's. Howard and his team are treating all customers like VIP. I went there 3 times and each time was best customer service possible. Their top priority, other than quality, is customer satisfaction and Happiness. I will keep visiting Howard each time I am in Ottawa.
14 October 2021 15:52
I highly recommend Howard jewellers. They are extremely attentive and always willing to help. I am looking forward to coming back. Thank you
10 October 2021 4:02
My experience with Howard's was great! Steph helped me find the watch that I was looking for, and provided top notch service at the same time. I highly recommend visiting the Howard Fine Jewellers team. I look forward to buying more watches here in the future!
09 October 2021 15:51
My experience here, with Stephanie was great and I would highly recommend. Made a change to my ring which I absolutely love! Got my ring elsewhere but will definitely be getting my band and future jewelry from here:)
24 September 2021 3:22
Earlier this year my fiancé and I went to Howards and worked with Frank. It was an incredible experience in which we co-designing my engagement ring with Frank’s expert guidance on diamonds, design, what suited my style and hand. He spent a lot of time with us and we ended up with the perfect ring. My fiancé, who is not a shopper, left the store saying that was fun. Thank you Frank. You are a King!
07 September 2021 20:58
I had the most wonderful service and experience at Howard’s. I highly recommend working with Stephanie; she is knowledgeable and professional. Her work far exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happier!
10 July 2021 21:20
My first time ever at Howard's was a great experience from start to finish.
They followed all Covid protocols correctly while still being extremely mindful and helpful the entire time I was there.

I had a appointment with Jana enquiring to service my watch and she helped answer every question I had about my watch, and started up the paperwork for me to take home, she was super wonderful and I recommend her completely. I will 100% be back again to visit, Jana was delightful to talk to and super accommodating to my needs, I highly recommend her to anyone that's thinking of coming by here.
25 May 2021 23:01
Expertise and top-notch service that have not changed in decades, and most recently, with Sladjana, who went out of her way to provide exceptional service delivery during the pandemic.
21 May 2021 3:40
Recently visited Howard’s to get my husband’s Tudor watch that I had given him on our 35th wedding anniversary a much needed overhaul. Adam was amazing and did a fantastic job in returning this watch to it’s original glory. My husband learned a harsh lesson in that although some people consider themselves capable of working on these watches, no one beats the quality and workmanship and guarantee of Howard’s. My husband and I are more than happy at the end result. The staff were always friendly and courteous and took the time to answer our multiple questions. Looking forward to meeting their design staff to help us with some heirlooms.
Chris and Denis
05 May 2021 12:57
Had the pleasure of visits Howard's on the weekend and spoke to Jessica about a watch purchase. She was super friendly and really took the time to understand what it was I was looking for - overall a great experience.
02 May 2021 2:32
Had the pleasure to deal with Jonathan at Howard. Despite Covid situation and restrictions in place, the service received has been nothing short of outstanding. On all occasions, Jonathan has shown the utmost in customer care through and through, something we don't see often these days and something that makes Howard stands out.

I cannot speak highly enough of Jonathan and his way to deliver the most memorable experience and clearly show the Howard service and what makes them so different.
29 April 2021 1:54
Despite COVID and the difficulty it took for me to make up my mind, on which item to buy Stephanie was very knowledgeable. Very easy and smooth transaction.thanks for all your patience
27 April 2021 20:45
My experience with Howards Fine Jewellers was amazing. My 89 years old father had recently expressed his desire to be able to wear his 1960 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date watch for his 90th Birthday. The problem was that his precious timepiece had not been out of the box for the past 30 years. Of course, I immediately contacted Howards where the watch was purchased over 60 years ago and made an appointment. Upon our first consultation, a bracelet issue was easily repaired on the spot at very little cost. However, they strongly recommended the Rolex be overhauled completely which was not expected and quit the expense. Having done some of my own research, they were right about the maintenance schedule and I trusted the service provided by their management staff. Sladjana answered all my questions, concerns, emails and explained in detail every step taken to assure a satisfactory result. In the end, the Rolex watch became like new again and my father will be granted his BD wish. Thank you Sladjana and all the staff at Howards for such a professional service delivery.
26 April 2021 3:45
Incredible service! Sladjana went above and beyond to make sure my engagement ring fit properly. Extremely professional and efficient. Would definitely recommend!

Purchased my first luxury timepeiece from Howards and had an amazing experience thanks to Jessica. She also made my most recent purchase through the lockdown incredibly easy. Even at a distance their customer service was top notch and I will absolutely keep coming back!

I cannot speak highly enough of the entire Howard team. Frank, Stephanie and Howard make you feel like family, treating you and your needs with the utmost attention to detail and care. There is no other jeweller in Ottawa that I would trust more with such important and meaningful purchases. When shopping at Howards, you can be confident that the most patient, knowledgable and trusting people will be there to guide you. You will leave with much more than just a purchase but with a wonderful shopping experience from start to finish!

Went to Howard's to look for an engagement ring. Really good & diverse selection of diamonds, gemstones, settings, etc. Ring was made in-house and within 2 weeks to meet the proposal date. Staff is super knowledgable and offer great service. Provides cleaning for the ring whenever we drop by.

Recently repaired one of my rings. Excellent experience. Booked a time to drop off the ring (and pick up later). Very convenient to have an appointment. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly; the work done was A+ as usual and my ring was even ready ahead of schedule. I'm not shopping much in person during covid but I felt very comfortable with all their protections in place. Very positive experience! (If you're cleaning out and need jewelry tended to, maybe now is a good time!) Thanks, Howards!

I recently brought my engagement ring into Howard Fine Jewellers to be sized and altered so I can have a wedding band sit flush with the ring. The service I received was excellent, the ring is even more beautiful than before and all of the work was completed in under two weeks. Thank you Stephanie and team:)

I was one of the winners of Bank Street's Share The Love giveaway. I took home the Sparkle prize - I chose the 14k White Gold Beaded Hoop Earrings. They are absolutely stunning & I am very thankful. Every staff member I met was very friendly & extended their congratulations. They really made me feel welcome, and the owner even stated that I "am now part of the family, " - you simply can't beat that customer service! I appreciated the beautiful wrapping as well. I highly recommend!

I have always had an amazing experience at Howard. Purchased our wedding jewelry, Rolex and custom jewelry. Their service, support and quality of work are unbeatable but most of all, they make you feel a part of the family. Simply put, there’s no need to go anywhere else.

Excellent service. We purchased a Rolex from them & I went back three times to have it adjusted. Was served coffee on the first occasion by the owner. Staff was very friendly. Will be back in a decade to purchase my next Rolex. Highly recommended.

Howard Jewellers is our Go-To jewellery store and should be yours too! Not only do they have gorgeous, high quality jewelry in a beautiful store, the staff are incredible! They go above and beyond in making every single visit there such a pleasurable one. They call you by name and treat you like family. We have never been treated so well by any other retail store. Frank, Howard and the women working behind the counters are all amazing. Looking to purchase jewelry? Need jewelry repaired? Go to Howards. You won't be disappointed. Their ultimate goal is to make sure the customer is very satisfied and they will exhaust every option until you are beyond happy!

Recently I needed an expert’s opinion on a piece of estate jewelry and decided to walk in to Howard Jewelry in Ottawa to get it. I was met with exceptional courtesy right at the entrance and within minutes I got the expert's opinion on the piece of jewelry in question. It was truly the most pleasant experience i have ever had. Great team work. Thank you very much!

Very professional service. I came in only for a watch band and was treated very well by Sladjana. Well worth the visit.

Would 100% recommend Howard Fine Jewellers to anyone looking for the perfect ring. Dealing with Frank and Stephanie was amazing as they took the time to explain all my options. Very knowledgeable and offered the most competitive pricing. Five stars.

Great experience, Sladjana was super helpful, I was able to get my stainless steel ring sized bigger, they have their own experts working on the premises, the work was done sooner than expected, will def come back!

Unbelievable service and fairly priced! This is a family owned business and they treat you like family (the good kind) when you come in. Not only do they have the best selection, you can really depend on them by letting them choose styles that you like within your budget. They also offer any type of custom work that you desire. Sladjana is all the help you can ask for and more. She helped me from a young man not knowing anything about wedding/engagement rings to a "pro".  Thank you Howards!
