"Leo, I want to thank you for all the years I've been coming in, which is about 25. Every time I walk into Leo Hamel Fine Jeweler's, I feel like family, I'm greeted warmly whether it's by your sister Lisa or Teri, or even you! I think I understand when people in my business come in and make comments about how they feel warmth from my staff and how the product is always consistent. The same goes for you. I've made many purchases from Leo Hamel's over the years, from my wife's wedding ring, to my Swiss watches, and many other items I've purchased. It's Juli's and my favorite place. Looking forward to many more great years of excellent service and friendship."
Sincerely,

"I had some old gold rings and chains just sitting in my drawer collecting dust, so I decided to make them useful again by selling them. I went to a couple of places and Leo Hamel's was by far the best. The girl who helped me was very friendly and it was obvious she knew her stuff. Her name was Cynthia - I mention it because I was impressed enough to remember. I already had some idea of how much I wanted to get for the gold so we talked about it and settled on a price (which was actually a little higher than I originally hoped to get) and she cut me a check on the spot. I had planned to shop it around a bit more but they gave me a fair price and I'm glad they saved me the trouble of trolling through another pawnshop. Also I was excited when she told me they do trade-ins, so I'm thinking about turning some of my old grandpa jewelry into a new watch. Great place!"

"Just visited Leo's again and traded a watch I was not wearing much for one that I will wear! A nice Ball divers model with an "inside" rotating bezel. Very cool! Very tough looking and I am sure I will use it a lot! Thanks Lisa!"

"I LOVE the watch! One of my new favorites and I wear it a lot. Probably one of the prettiest pieces I own, also one of the most accurate mechanical movements, and very functional. I don't know who else offers the +/- push pieces for the 'local' time but I really like that feature. It'll get some exercise soon... going on business to Lisbon tomorrow night. Thanks for introducing me to Ulysse Nardin! See you next time!"
Best regards,

"Great store with a wide selection of jewelry styles and prices. The salespeople are VERY knowledgeable and helpful. If you want to get a piece for yourself or for someone else, this is a good place to find something that will impress for a decent price!"

"I have hands down got to say that Leo Hamel Jewelers in Old Town is the place to take your fine lady for jewelry. My wife was so happy with the selection and the knowledgeable sales people. I was satisfied with the great deals available but more over for the fact that I could sit and drink an ice cold beer on a comfortable couch while my wife took her time to find the right piece..."

"I have been doing business With Leo Hamel for more than 23 years in the four different locations that he has had in this time. I have watched his store grow from just him and one other employee to what it is now. How has Leo been in business all this time through many economic cycles? Because of a consistent way of doing the "right" thing in the jewelry and high-end watch business.

"Nice staff. I sold them a diamond ring and the girl that helped me was really helpful. She gave me more money when I decided to buy a watch in the store. I bought a watch and walked out with $500."
