I fell in love with a ring that I purchased on eBay that I wanted to make into a pendant. I visited…read moremany jewelers (5+) in the area (Lafayette, Walnut Creek and Danville) who made suggestions...some the same suggestion and others with different suggestions. I was worried about the right way to do the job. Then I visited Boris at BoBen. He spent a lot of time with me. His suggestion was different than the others and used a technique that he had used on pieces that he had designed and made that were in his showcases. I loved what I was seeing. We moved forward and I am very, very happy with the pendant. He also took some loose diamonds I had and made them into studs. He was able to find mountings that he already had and it turned out to be very economical for me. Not only that, but he finished the job in 1 hour!!! Amazing job and I can't recommend him enough!

I also brought a ring that I have as a present to the store to test if it's real diamond. The photo is blue cambolite ring. I took my friend to the store and she bought it.

Recently I asked his help in redesigning my wedding ring into a 3-stone style with options to stack other bands alongside the ring. He did an amazing job creating a CAD image and then a wax mold for me to review. The final product is precisely what I had envisioned. It is even more spectacular in person than it is in the photographs. Brett has also helped me redesign and create new jewelry from family heirlooms. He listens to every detail and works hard to create your dream item. Brett is also so reasonably priced and he never upsells. What a gift that we have this talented, honest visionary jeweler in the East Bay

Not only is the craftsmanship impeccable, but Brett was also so kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to help us create something meaningful. I still catch myself staring at my ring daily. I will be recommending Brett to everyone I know. Thanks again!

Everyone be very very very careful when buying things at this store. First of all I want to talk about the pair of earrings I bought from them for $1,500 dollars and now after 2 years I came back and want to sell these earrings because they have no value. but they did not accept and did not exchange or return, I agreed to sell very cheap if they bought it back but they did not agree to buy it back at any price. I have their invoice and documents very clearly, everyone can see in the photos Her husband told me it was three years ( only two year on receipt ) The jewelry store owner Sophia's husband was very rude and very violent and threw the jewelry box in my face. and kicked me out of the store, a man so rude and violent to his customers that i have never seen before in this country of america. sorry i want to add that i am vietnamese but if i was a foreigner or american maybe he wouldn't dare to treat customers like that but because i am vietnamese My English is not good enough to argue with him. I was scammed out of three pieces of jewelry for over $10,000 Please be very very very careful when buying from this place because the quality is not good and the price is very expensive and you will never have chance to get a return or a refund at any price. This was such a bad experience I feel like I was really scammed and I will never never never ever go back to sophia's store a second time and I want to sell everything I bought from her so I don't want to see those items in front of me again People who have bought things from her store try to come back and pretend to sell things to see how she treats them. The shop owner and his wife are also Asian. Sophia and i went to another jewelry store i knew to talk to the owner he said these diamond products are not good the color is really bad, and the owner of that gold shop is really nice he said he will help me to resell these products . If you don't want to lose your money, please don't come to this Sophia jewelry

I explained to the owner of the store, I wanted a piece of yellow 14kt gold to be put in the bottom of each ring to size it up. He wanted to"shave" the ring down to fit. I had said "No shaving off my gold on any of the rings except the one ring that had an Opal since only that one couldn't be heated up". He agreed and took my rings. When I got them back he not only charged me the full price of $300 (he had quoted me the cost to put small piece of 14kt gold in each ring) but he had also shaved down each (ALL) rings. And he took a lot of gold off each one of them. I'm sure he kept it since gold has gone up so much. I've been thinking about it over and over again at what he did. I'm very angry! I should have never taken all those beautiful rings to him. They feel like cheap junk now. Hollow out remnants of what was once high quality rings. I trusted him because I had been going there for years. No more! I'll never go back again. Buyer beware. Don't go there unless you are willing to let him destroy your bountiful jewelry. And if he'll do that to me, he'll do it to you, too!

Morrison's did not answer the phone and never returned any of my messages (they were very responsive before I made the purchase). Had I not paid cash and if I did not live so far away, I would have gone back in person (even though I would expect a hard pushback from the staff).
