Before going all the way to Santa Maria I did a little research and saw that this store had great reviews and could do laser engraving, which was the only way I could have my rings done.

Nothing but good things to say about Vargas Jewelers…read more I went in for a time piece gift. They have a great selection of EVERYTHING, not just watches. However, the only brand they carry is Citizen (this is a great brand anyways). The prices are not outrageous, and comparable to buying directly from the company (no complaints here!). I made two trips before deciding on a watch. The first trip the sales associated really talked me through each watch so I understood what I'd be paying for. Second trip same thing, different person. Talk about a nice family business! While waiting for a box I looked over some of the jewelry, and there is something for everyone here. I really loved the topaz/aquamarine rings and pieces with other colored gemstones, they were so beautiful.

So disappointed in Vargas.

They tried to tell me I stepped on the setting which is not what happened! The earring was in a jewelry pouch in my purse. I took the damaged setting in and asked them to fix it. They said can't be done and only thing they offered was for me to buy another set at over $100. What a complete waste of money for me and perhaps the worst customer service I've experienced in a very long time. Beware.. this family walks around wearing very expensive jewelry and who do u think pays for it.. we do! They sell low grade merchandise, much of it silver, and way overcharge. Save ur money and go to a reputable jeweler. One set of earrings were supposed to be 14 kt gold and they made my ears swell, turn red, and itch. They were clearly not 14 kt gold!
