Oregon’s Top Rated Local® Jewelry Store Award Winner: Klein Jewelers

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Klein Jewelers is a 2018 award winner!

“It became apparent in the past few days that the battery on my watch was probably dying. I stopped by here and the dude told me the pricing info, asked if that’d be okay, and I agreed. He took the watch back, verified that its a battery problem with low voltage, replaced it, and I paid. The watch seems back to normal, hurray! Super straightforward, and I would not hesitate to get your watch battery replaced here. If I have other issues with my watch, or have jewelry needs, I certainly expect to return to Klein Jewelers.” -Tom M.

“Great jewelers! I took a ring here to be resized. They had great prices, great customer service, and a fast turnaround time. Happy to have small local businesses like this one around still to support! I’ll definitely return to them for any future jewelry-repair needs.” -Lindsey S.

“This is the best jeweler in Portland. They are fair, reasonable and friendly and quick. They replace all watch batteries for less than anyone else and can repair jewelry expertly. If they can’t do it, they are honest about it or offer you options. They also have a nice showroom. I encourage everyone to support them with jewelry issues large and small.” -Cindy W.

A One-of-a-Kind Jeweler’s Secret to a Strong Online Reputation

We spoke with Kathy Hellwege, the owner of Klein Jewelers, about her business’ terrific online reputation.

Of course, one of the first things we wanted to know was what Kathy believes to be the Klein jewelers secret to success. “I’d say it would have to be our longevity. We’ve been in business for 92 years,” she said. “It’s our customer service that intrigues just about every person that walks in the door.”

Making the World a Better Place By Exceeding Expectations

Kathy and her team take pride in providing a “We’re a family-owned business. I grew up doing this and it’s a natural part of my life. Our customer service, our repair services, our designs, everything we do is to exceed expectations.”

Kathy has quite a bit of wisdom to pass on to other business owners looking to improve their online reputation. Here’s what she had to say:

“Businesses need to concentrate on customer service. This seems to be lacking in a lot of modern industries these days.”


Thanks for speaking with us, Kathy! Congratulations to the team at Klein Jewelers for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner!
