Members, Jewelers of America

In 1943, Red and Bobbie Anderson opened a small watch-repair bench in Savannah. They lived above the work. Customers brought broken Hamiltons and tired wedding bands, and Red — patient, near-sighted, exacting — gave them back something better than new.

In 1969, Red's sons Bob and Jimmy joined their father, and Anderson Jewelers opened its first official storefront — a counter inside the Belk department store on Broughton. Watch repair stayed at the heart of it, but rings and chains and gifts for granddaughters began to fill the case.

In 1988, the family crossed the river and opened a second house on Hilton Head Island. Two years later, Robert Anderson II earned his Graduate Gemologist diploma from the Gemological Institute of America. In 1991, Janice Anderson opened the Eisenhower location where the family still trades today.

Three generations later, Wil Anderson holds the door. A fourth generation is at the bench, learning the way Red taught Bob — slowly, by hand, by repetition, by the rule that nothing leaves the shop unless you'd put it on your own daughter's finger.

We don't run sales. We don't ship by drone. We don't have a chatbot. What we have is eighty-two years of Savannah families coming back — for the second ring, for the anniversary band, for the watch that belonged to their father.

Chapter 02 · The Difference

What eighty-two years buys you.

Not a showroom. A workshop with a door open to the street.

01

Bench on premises

Sizing, prong rebuilds and stone setting happen here, in-house — not shipped to a third-party lab in another state. Your piece never leaves Savannah.

02

No quotas, no commission

Nobody here works on commission. You'll never be steered to the expensive case. We'd rather you came back in twenty years than spent more today.

03

G.I.A. gemologist

Robert Anderson II earned his Graduate Gemologist diploma from the GIA. Every appraisal and every stone is graded by a trained eye, in writing.

04

Coastal & custom

From nautical anchor pendants to emerald three-stones, we build pieces you won't find in a mall case — drawn, waxed and cast for one wearer.

Chapter 03 · Bridal

The ring is a question.
We help you
ask it properly.

Engagement is the only commission where the wearer hasn't met the maker yet. So we treat it differently. Long conversations. Hand-drawn sketches before quotes. Stones sourced on memo so you can see five together in natural light.

Lab-grown or natural — your call, no judgement. Platinum, 14k, 18k, rose, mixed-metal — your call. We carry no salesmen and no quotas. We carry one rule: don't propose with a ring you can't picture on a Saturday morning twenty years from now.

Stone Sourcing
Memo stones held for you in-store. Round, oval, emerald, pear, marquise, cushion — see them in person before you commit.
Setting Styles
Solitaire, halo, three-stone, hidden halo, east-west, bezel, basket. Custom profiles welcome — we draw it before we make it.
Timeline
6 – 9 weeks for custom, typically. Rush available for proposals already on the calendar — call ahead.
After the Yes
Free sizing for life. Free six-month cleaning & prong-check. Insurance appraisal signed by our GIA gemologist.

Built in Savannah · Emerald three-stone

Five steps. Six to nine weeks.
Nothing rushed.

A custom ring at Anderson Jewelers is a conversation that becomes a sketch that becomes a wax that becomes a ring. You're invited to the bench at every stage. No surprises, no upsells, no decisions made for you.

01

Consultation

An unhurried hour at the parlor — or a phone call, if you're nervous. We talk about her hand, her wardrobe, her grandmother's ring. No quote yet.

60 – 90 min
02

Sketch

Hand-drawn pencil sketches — three to five directions. We mark up what you love, throw out what you don't. Stone budgets discussed openly.

1 week
03

CAD Render

Photorealistic 3D rendering of the chosen design. You see it from every angle before a single gram of metal is cut.

1 – 2 weeks
04

Wax Model

A physical wax of the ring, hand-finished at our bench. You can try it on, feel the weight, adjust the profile.

1 week
05

Cast & Set

Cast in your chosen metal, stone set by a GIA-trained gemologist, hand-finished and engraved. Ready for the moment.

3 – 4 weeks
6 – 9 weeks, typically. Rush available for proposals on the calendar.

Six cases. One bench.

I have been trading with these folks for 25 or 30 years — and they have always come up to my high standards.

Long-time customer·Three-decade client

Her husband's choice of a diamond bracelet for their anniversary was breathtaking, and a reflection of the store's excellent reputation in Savannah.

Lea·Anniversary commission

Wil and the team turned my grandmother's pin into the engagement ring of my fiancée's dreams. They handled the heirloom with the reverence it deserved.

Google reviewer·Heirloom redesign

They serviced my Rolex when the authorized dealer in Atlanta wanted twice the price and three months longer. Came back perfect.

Walk-ins are always welcome during shop hours for repairs, browsing, and quick questions. For engagement consultations and estate appraisals, a booked hour means we can give you our full attention — use the form below or call the shop.

Most custom commissions run 6 to 9 weeks from first sketch to finished ring. If you have a proposal already on the calendar, tell us — we keep room for rush work and will be honest about what's possible.

Yes — natural or lab-grown, your choice and no judgement either way. We'll show you both side by side and explain the real differences in price, grading, and resale so you can decide with open eyes.

Heirloom redesign is some of our favourite work. We'll examine the stone, talk through settings that honour where it came from, and rebuild it for the next generation — all on our own bench, never shipped out.

We sell new Citizen Eco-Drive and carefully selected pre-owned Rolex, and we service Rolex and Tag Heuer in-house. Every service comes with a written condition report — and the estimate is always free.

We do. Appraisals are graded and signed by Robert Anderson II, a GIA Graduate Gemologist, and written to the standard your insurer needs. Bring the piece in and we'll handle the paperwork properly.
