Do you tip the jeweler?

IslandDreams Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,011 Last Post: 12/3/2008 Member Since: 11/19/2004	My fiance bought my engagement ring from a jeweler in Chicago. We then ordered our wedding rings through him. Since we come from out of town the jeweler has been kind to be flexible with his schedule. On Monday we are meeting him for the last time to pick up our rings. My fiance wants to know if we should do a little something/give a tip to the jeweler. We were planning on meeting him at a martini bar since the actual store he works for closes before we can get there and is locked down after hours. We were going to buy his drink but should we do more?

We didn't tip him at all. I've never heard of such a thing (which doesn't mean it doesn't happen). Instead, we sent him a nice letter of our appreciation and assurance that we would be back in the future!! (And we will!) He called us with sincere gratitude and appreciation in return... I'd be interested to hear what others would do...

You are his client. I doubt whether jewelers expect a tip. It speaks well of him that you thought of it though.
