My first experience with Jill Alexander, after reading an article in the local newspaper, was to…read moreask her to design a Mother of the Bride dress for me. I am very tall and curvy so finding a formal dress that complemented my figure and felt comfortable was very difficult. Jill designed the perfect custom dress for me and I've been hooked ever since. That first experience was three years ago and I had been making regulars treks to Jill's design studio to check out her new lines and to visit with Jill and the wonderful staff. I was thrilled when Jill opened her retail store in Scotts Valley! The store beautifully displays Jill's fashions and, because Jill's new design studio is in the back of the store, I still get to see Jill on my shopping visits. If you have a curvy figure and you live anywhere in the Santa Cruz Bay Area, stop in for a visit to Jill's store. Even if you don't live in the immediate area, it's worth the drive!

This review is long overdue (and also very long), but now it spans 5 years and a couple different…read moreprojects that make William Greene a big part of my family's story. My grandmother had a few pieces of vintage jewelry that over the years my mother had pulled from to make other pieces (matching necklaces for my sisters and me, etc.). She wanted as many family members as possible to have a part of this sentimental jewelry. After her passing, it was up to me to make sure her wishes were met that each of my nieces receive an item made from a pendant of my grandmother's. It seemed important to have the right jeweler for this special project, and it only took a few minutes with William Greene to know we'd found the right people. Not only did he light up when he heard about the project, but he shared that he had inherited this business from his father and it was in his blood to make sentimental jewelry from heirloom items. Over the course of a few months, William and his wife created some beautiful designs that allowed my nieces to have unique pieces from the same pendant. It was such a moving way to honor my mother, and felt so good that they seemed invested in the project too. The four rings, and a drop necklace were all perfect and my nieces were so moved to receive them. William also restored and resized a ring of my grandmother's that I'm now able to wear. Fast forward a few years when my husband was getting ready to propose. When he learned that I was in possession of my mother's wedding ring and would like to have it reset as my own, he knew immediately whom to work with. He remembered a conversation from an early date about my meeting with William, who made a hard time mourning my mother a little lighter by his excitement to create such special pieces. He knew that William should be the one to make yet another precious item, the one I'll wear the rest of our lives. When my husband reached out to William and his wife, they remembered me and the past project. They were so happy to work with him on this next big item, and they even were able to work with him remotely, making sure that the ring was shipped with insurance. I love my ring, and I love that William and his wife were able to be such a part of my family's story, spreading that beautiful legacy of heirlooms to new generations. Our one minor note on both the projects would be that the communication on progress could've been a bit more consistent. However, the stunning finished products and the feeling behind the work far outweighs any minor delays in communication.

Not only did they quickly and expertly reattach the spring and adjust the fit, but they also carefully inspected the piece for scratches. I was so relieved they hadn't found any.

The friendly atmosphere, even down to the shop's sweet pup, helped calm my nerves after a stressful moment. Highly recommend this jeweler for both expert craftsmanship and truly heartfelt service. I'm so grateful, thank you!

The store is very well stocked with complete skateboard sets which are perfect for a beginner board. Some of the brands we saw were Santa Cruz, Birdhouse, Creature.

In addition they have a good variety of decks and they sell the trucks and parts separately so you can customize your board too if desired. I also love browsing through their clothing. They have a nice selection of skater brands for Men, women and children. Sometimes you can get a good deal on the sale rack.

I originally came in hoping to redesign the set (as it was damaged), but after exploring several options, I realized a full redesign wasn't financially realistic for me at this time. Rather than pushing me toward something outside my budget, Thomas worked with me to find a solution that honored both the sentimental value of my original ring and what I could realistically afford. He repaired my original setting, replaced my stone with a beautiful lab-grown opal, and helped me creatively use inherited family jewelry toward the project. The end result feels deeply personal and absolutely beautiful -- I now have my wedding set back in a way that feels meaningful, unique, and affordable. What really stood out to me was how much personal attention Thomas gave throughout the process. He took time to walk through options, answer questions, and genuinely get to know me and what I was looking for. He's warm, funny, easy to talk to, and the experience felt very much like working with an old-school local family business that truly values relationships with their customers. If you're looking for a jeweler who will take the time to work with you, think creatively, and help you find something that fits both your vision and your budget, I'd absolutely recommend stopping in to Scotts Valley Jewelers!

He installed an OME kit for me. He arranged for an alignment after his adjustments, and when the alignment wasn't up to his expectations, he had the shop redo the work until it was. He knew I was adding a new winch, and installed it for me for no cost because he didn't like making me wait for the truck (and because he's the nicest guy in northern California). He and his family drive out with their gear and support pitbull rescue operations in other areas of the country (working on their trucks and volunteering his labor). Super nice guy. Great work.
