North Carolina’s Top Rated Local® Jewelry Stores Award Winner: Hinkamp Jewelers

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Hinkamp Jewelers is an award winner for jewelry stores in 2019.

We highly recommend this family-owned and -operated local jewelry store that has been serving Fayetteville since 1955.

Hinkamp Jewelers has received many overwhelmingly positive reviews across five different verified sites with an average rating of 4.91 stars, earning them an impressive Rating Score™ of 99.05 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for ranking as one of the top 100 businesses and one of the top five jewelry stores in North Carolina!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“[They offer] wonderful customer service and attention to detail! They were able to recreate my original engagement ring (sadly, an antique that literally crumbled years ago) based solely off of old pictures. It looks so close to the original that sometimes I forget it isn’t! [This was] an excellent experience all around.” – L.H.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Hinkamp Jewelers is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Jewelry Store

We were excited to learn all about how Hinkamp Jewelers has been able to build such an impressive reputation, so we sat down with the owner, Wally Hinkamp.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Hinkamp Jewelers stand apart from their competitors. Wally shared that Hinkamp Jewelers is a family-owned business, and is based on people, not numbers. He said that since their employees are not commission-based, they will treat a customer coming in for a new watch battery the same as they would a customer coming in for a diamond.

He described their business’ mission as:

“Treat everyone like you would like to be treated.”

Building Success Through Word of Mouth

Hinkamp Jewelers has managed to build such an impressive reputation over the years that it came as no surprise to us to learn that word of mouth has been their greatest strength.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Hinkamp Jewelers has managed to. We asked if Wally could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what they had to say:

“The world has become way too automated, so the people who are willing to come to see you in person should be treated as high as possible. Be very humble to your customers.”


Congratulations to Hinkamp Jewelers for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Wally for taking the time to speak with us!
