What People Say About Us
Client Testimonials
“So impressed with the employees and their customer service. First class! The selection is amazing and the pieces are breathtaking! This was my third visit. My husband and I drive over an hour and a half from Tampa, each way just to do business here. That should speak volumes about how enjoyable the experience is at Class Creations. I can’t recommend this business enough! Do yourself a favor and stop in!”
Lauren ScantleburyCustomer 
“The whole entire staff is very friendly and courteous. They take the time to spend with you and are never rushed. Absolutely love this place. Wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a healthy Happy New Year.”
Tena ScottCustomer 
“After having many issues with a chain jeweler, we went and saw Evan. There is no comparison with all aspects of the jewelry purchasing/repair process, everything was amazing! Extremely short repair times, a very personalized experience, and a large, and extremely beautiful assortment of jewelry. I definitely recommend Classic Creations, and now will not shop anywhere else for jewelry. What a night and day experience. Thank you to the Classic Creations family for taking a bad experience elsewhere with jewelry and making it into one of the most exciting, as it should be!”
