My name is Bruce Owen, and I own a jewelry design business in Des Moines, Iowa. We recently had an…read moreissue with the sizing of a client's ring, and with their wedding quickly approaching, we were in a bit of a panic trying to find a jeweler who could handle the work properly and on short notice in their area. Claydon Jewelers stepped up and helped my client out with flying colors. They were professional, accommodating, and, most importantly, took great care of the ring and the customer. As a jeweler with 45 years of experience, I truly appreciate the integrity and craftsmanship of jewelers who remain committed to their art and take pride in doing things the right way. I HIGHLY recommend Claydon Jewelers to anyone in the Redondo Beach CA area who truly cares about the quality, craftsmanship, and care that goes into the jewelry they own or purchase. It was a pleasure to work with them, and I'm grateful they were there when we needed them.

I brought my wedding band in for a repair after one diamond fell out (which I was fortunate enough…read moreto find). I was quoted a little over $200 for the diamond replacement and a very minor resize of ¼ size down. When I went to pick up the ring, I was informed--after the work was already completed--that additional prongs had been replaced on both sides of the ring and that I now owed an extra $240. I was never contacted, informed, or asked for approval before this additional work was done. The explanation given was that some of the prong work was necessary due to resizing. However, after waiting over 40 minutes at pickup because the ring was "in billing," I was then told the resize had actually been forgotten entirely and had to be done on the spot. This made the justification for the unapproved prong work even more concerning. After calling twice and initially being brushed off by sales associates, I finally spoke with the owner, who acknowledged that I had not consented to the extra work and agreed to waive the additional charge. While I appreciate the owner ultimately correcting the billing, the situation itself should never have occurred. Jewelry--especially a wedding band--is deeply personal. Any additional work, design changes, or charges should never be performed without explicit customer approval. Between the unapproved services, forgotten resize, and billing delay, the experience felt disorganized and stressful. I would urge future customers to proceed with caution, insist on written estimates, and require approval before any additional work is done.

The 15-year-old ring was showing a lot of wear and tear, with three missing stones. After inspecting the ring, Sam the owner was confident he could restore it to its original condition and offered a very reasonable estimate. The ring was ready in 6 days. When I came in to pick it up, Sam had an almost excited look on his face as he prepared me for the big reveal. You could tell how proud he was with the final product. As he took the ring out of the bag, my face lit up - I could not believe how beautiful it was. It genuinely looked every bit as good as the day I had bought it. The missing stones were replaced, all the settings were inspected and reinforced, and the gold and diamonds were cleaned and polished. I give my strongest endorsement to Modern Jewelers. Small business, family owned, and a real credit to the community they serve.

We were able to pick out the perfect size diamond and resize my ring as well and I can't wait till I see the masterpiece. Not only was she helpful, she was patient and respected what we wanted and never pushed anything else like other places that want to sell other things that you don't need or never wanted. We were in and out within 45 min and that's what I loved about her down to the point and happy customer out the door. All the staff here are very nice and the past 14 years I've been getting my ring cleaned and all and have been a happy customer and now even more!

So it was Jordan who did most of the stuff I was dealing with however Juan was there helping him also working on a piece of jewelry with his tools etc. They were very friendly they had beautiful jewelry in there and I personally would highly suggest if you wanted to sell your goal to go there and sell it to them it was quick and easy and they handed me cash on the spot it was awesome they also offered to exchange if I wanted to exchange for another piece if I saw something else I wanted we should wear many things that I wanted but what I actually use them now so I took my cash and I'm gonna use the money on vacation I had had South bagel recommended to me by two different friends who live up and rolling Hills and I figured they knew what they were talking about so I say don't bother shopping around go there the first time save some time get a fair offer take it and enjoy yourself excellent place to take an engagement ring you no longer needed because that was one or two or three husbands back I'm still on the first husband so I still need mine but maybe someday I won't.

Where do I begin?…read more Before I shared my own experience, I made sure to read through ALL of the reviews. Many of them make valid points about the nature of the pawn business - and the truth is, there are limits to what a BUSINESS can offer. If their offer doesn't align with your needs, there's no limit of pawn shops in Los Angeles, I promise you that. However, I will also promise you this.... And I can vouch for this much....once you've experienced their service, you'll find it hard to go anywhere else. And let's talk real quick about that 2% interest rate - it's practically unbeatable!!!! My advice? Stay on top of YOUR 2% monthly payments and start paying down your principle with a little extra! Just like they tell you to do when you get the loan! It's our responsibility as BORROWERS to ensure we meet our obligations. Now for my review.... Mark and his exceptional team at Lawndale MAXFERD jewelry and loan truly saved the day for me - and my treasured possessions! I found myself in a very tough spot, behind on payments with interest mounting, and feared losing my sentimental jewelry pieces and beloved first ever Rolex. But Mark and his team didn't just offer a lifeline; they extended genuine courtesy and understanding, allowing me the time and flexibility to catch up on payments (Yes, even I got behind on payments - THAT'S ON ME!) Their compassion and willingness to help in times of need are unparalleled. In an industry often marred by greed and exploitation, Lawndale MAXFERD stands out as a beacon of integrity and compassion. Unlike other pawn shops that pounce on any opportunity to exploit their customers, Mark and his team exemplify honesty and fairness, ensuring that customers like myself are treated with dignity and respect. I cannot overstate my gratitude to Mark and his team for their exceptional service and unwavering support. If you find yourself in a similar situation, look no further than Lawndale MAXFERD for a genuine lifeline. Mark and his team are not just in the business of transactions; they are in the business of restoring faith and trust in humanity. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need. For further assurance, feel free to reach out to me personally via text or even call me at (310) 308-6685. Trust me, you won't regret it. Thanks Mark!!! Matthew

I am so sad writing this bc I wish my experience was different…read more Last year my husband and I came in for a wedding ring update for our 10 year anniversary. We walked in and found one ring right then and there, it was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. We also purchased an additional ring to go with the new ring. My husband also brought his Super Bowl ring to sized. We were happy. With 2-3 months, while I was shutting our closet door, I moved my hand awkwardly, hit my hand on the door (not enough to hurt) but I noticed a one of the diamonds had fell off my diamond wrapped band (luckily, when I noticed I found it on the ground). Later that week, I noticed a tiny diamond and fallen off the petite ring. I was heartbroken-- I am pretty rough with my hands and have two little kids so my hands get a lot of action but I had never had actual diamonds fall off rings. I called my jeweler, let her know and she said to bring them in. She offered to fix it and change the style of ring for the petite to make it more secure. She told me she would send me the design before creating it. That same day we went to pick up my husbands ring -- when we got home, we found water damage inside of the ring (writhing a hallow part of the design). Our jeweler took many months to fix my ring -- so much I had to follow up with her twice. She never sent me the design before creating. Months later she sent me a photo of the finished product and told me to come in and get my rings. We did but the entire time, I was irritated. I didn't like the look the re-designed ring but at that point I didn't even say anything bc I wanted to leave. I have been waiting 10 years for the upgrade and I wanted it to be special. Now every time I look at my rings I either worry that a diamond is going to fall off or it reminds me that I never want to go to the jeweler again. And probably going to getting a new rain eventually -- but I'm mostly just so unhappy with the service. I expected a lot more. And now, my husbands ring has dried water stains inside the design for life -- this is a family heirloom. My jeweler was Callie -- very nice but not a great experience and not very apologetic at all. I wish my experience was different. I'm still upset about it a year later.

As Midwest transplants we did not have easy access to our tried and trusted professionals in the jewelry business and were looking to establish a new contact. I had wanted to stack rings for many years and after meeting with Alex, it was a no-brainer to work with him and utilize his knowledge base and decades of experience to create the perfect addition to my set. I briefly chatted with him ahead of time and he directed me to his website to gather ideas. I found a few rings that appealed to me and sent the images to Alex. When we arrived for our appointment we talked about my preferences and he had so many samples for me to try on and see how they worked with my current rings. It was actually Alex who found THE ring. We further discussed options on which metal would work best and the differences and benefits to lab-grown stones. Alex was able to help us create exactly what I wanted and keep the cost within our preferred range. He advised the ring would be ready in 3-4 weeks and contacted me exactly at 3 weeks to let me know it was ready. This anniversary band adds the ideal amount of bling to my ring finger. Can't wait to work with Alex again on the next one!
