    I had a very concerning experience with Galati Jewelers. I brought my wedding ring in to have it…read morestretched. The owner seemed nice enough and explained the process, telling me to come back the next day around 4:00 pm to pick it up. When I returned the next day at the time he gave me, the store was closed. I called multiple times, but there was no answer and the voicemail box was full. I went back again the following day -- still closed, even though the hours posted online and on the door indicated the store should be open. By chance, another person stopped by while I was there and told me that the owner frequently does not follow his posted hours. At that point I became extremely worried that I had been scammed out of my wedding ring. The stress of thinking I might have lost something so meaningful was awful. Businesses handling valuable and sentimental items like jewelry must operate professionally and reliably. Not being open during posted hours, not answering calls, and having a full voicemail is completely unacceptable. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this business. If you value your jewelry and peace of mind, I would strongly advise going somewhere else.

Even though it was a bit busy, she took the time to get to know me (+ my brother in law) and learn exactly what I was looking for. The team's dedication doesn't stop once you leave the store. Both Chris and Marie have been fantastic at keeping in touch with me. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

However, trying to actually purchase a timepiece -- specifically a Rolex or Patek Philippe -- has been an awful and frustrating experience. If I were advising a new watch buyer, I would recommend avoiding this store. Despite my efforts to build a relationship with this local authorized dealer, I've never once felt cared for or like I had any real chance of buying a watch. I've kept in touch via email and have returned to the store a reasonable number of times, yet I've never felt I was given a genuine opportunity. Maybe this is just "the game," and these brands are notorious for prioritizing repeat customers. But you can't become a repeat customer if you're never given a chance to purchase in the first place. This isn't a review written out of frustration over not being able to buy a five-figure timepiece. It's an honest account of my experience trying to build a genuine relationship with Kerns.

    My husband and I visited the Jewelry Exchange in Redwood City, with the idea of getting me a…read moresolitaire diamond ring. First - I LOVE their security measures in place, having the control to unlock the door for their customers. It made us feel safe, especially with all the recent jewelry store robberies that have been going on in the Bay Area. Upon entry, we were greeted with warm personalities and smiles from the three ladies behind the counter. They never pressured us and allowed us time to look around. When we were ready, one of the sale clerks came over to help us. We explained that we wanted a simple, single, white gold band, and then selected a diamond. She laid out everything for us to look at and when she dropped the diamond on the setting, my heart knew it was the one I wanted. The diamond is 2.10 karats, and it's simply breathtaking! We did not trade in my wedding ring, it was a purchase for my right hand and a "I'll love you more than forever" ring from my husband. We opened a credit account and it was so easy, with six months interest free! We highly recommend the Jewelry Exchange in Redwood City for all your jewelry needs! Especially if you are purchasing an engagement ring, or wedding set! We also got my wedding rings from this same store, 18 years ago and they are still holding strong. The customer service and attention we received in this store was nothing short of AMAZING!

    My experience with this jewelry store was extremely disappointing. My boyfriend (now husband) came…read morehere to design a custom engagement ring with me, and the entire process was frustrating and unprofessional from start to finish. The sales associate, Rena, made multiple promises about the customization process that were never followed through on. We were specifically told we would receive a CAD design for approval, then a wax ring prototype, and only after our approval would the final ring be made. Instead, they skipped the approval process entirely and created the final ring without our consent or sign-off. On top of that, when the ring turned out nothing like what I wanted, Rena repeatedly pressured me to just accept it rather than actually correcting the issues or listening to my concerns. For something as important and sentimental as an engagement ring, I should never have felt pushed into settling for a design I did not want. To make matters worse, Rena completely ruined the surprise of my proposal. She casually said to me, "I know you guys are going out of town this weekend so you can use this ring as a placeholder temporarily," essentially revealing that my boyfriend was planning to propose during our trip. That moment can never be taken back. After 9 weeks of wasted time trying to customize this ring, we ultimately decided to walk away and requested our deposit back. When my boyfriend expressed frustration about how much time had been wasted, Rena responded by saying they had "wasted a lot of gold on us," which was incredibly rude and unprofessional. A custom engagement ring is supposed to be an exciting and meaningful experience. Instead, this process was stressful, disappointing, and handled with very little care or professionalism. I would not recommend this store to anyone looking for a custom ring or an engagement experience they can trust.
