Dorano Jewelry - Store front - Jewelry Near Me - Arcadia, California

Found my most perfect engagement ring here. I love it and get so much attention when I wear it, it shines beautifully.

HIGHLY recommend coming here. Garen did such an amazing job for so cheap too. I came in because of all the high ratings on Yelp. A lot of other places didn't seem like they did a good job. There are a lot of rush orders with mess ups on necklaces, so I really dived into the recent reviews. Garen's reviews were all well rated, and I wanted to see for myself. I came in a random day, I didn't call in or anything. I just wanted to get my necklaces fixed ASAP. Price for each fix was $15 and Garen is FAST. The whole visit probably took less than 15 minutes. And he did such an amazing job. My necklaces are dainty and the chains are so small, but he was able to fix it like nothing ever happened. He has a lot of tips on how to keep the jewelry intact as well. Really glad they also take Apple Pay. Highly recommend! read more

Dorano Jewelry - So happy with the results! - Jewelry Near Me - Arcadia, California

Owner Garen was helpful and responsive to my inquiries regarding getting my broken gold chain necklace repaired. He fixed it in a matter of minutes and it looks perfect like before it was broken. His price for the work was affordable and fair. Dorano Jewelry is on a nice stretch of Huntington Drive in Arcadia. The jewelry piece in the display shelves look beautiful and unique--the one of a kind sorts of pieces. Garen couldn't have been more pleasant and friendly and clearly a skilled and talented jeweler. Highly recommend you visit if you're looking for something special and/or to get a piece of jewelry repaired. read more

My ring needed to be repaired because it somehow got crushed/bent out of shape. The owner, Garen, is so nice. He's honest about his work and what he can do for you. His pricing is also extremely fair compared to other quotes I got and the work is done in a very timely manner. My ring is good as new, albeit more fragile and weakened than before because of the damage done to it. Geran made sure to inform me of this and warned that I need to be more careful in the future with the ring. Thank you for the great service! read more

She said yes! I worked with Garen to custom make the engagement ring for my now fiancee. The experience was excellent. I sourced my own stone but Garen and I worked together to design a custom setting and he truly made the entire process a breeze. Even though I told him to take his time, his turnaround time is less than a month. Before the ring goes into production, Garen is very patient on taking input and altering the design till we were satisfied. Platinum is notoriously difficult to shape and build with but, Garen has not only the tooling, but the expertise and decades of experience -extremely important! I strongly recommend reaching out to Garen if you want jewelry altered or made. read more

My mother just passed and I put feelers out on Yelp to restring my mom's lapis beaded necklace and to put on a more secure clasp. Everyone else acknowledged my sorrow and condolences. All of them except for this place; "it's not for us." Can you imagine how insensitive that is? Wow. Maybe they only work on gold, platinum and diamonds? Still, this kind of rudeness is unacceptable as I am in the midst of grief. There are so many other places like Padani Jewelers who didn't even ask for a picture, gave me condolences and said I could come in any time. I just went there and when I pick up my refurbished piece, I will leave them a review commensurate to their service and quality, just as I am doing here. I rarely give one-star reviews and I just made Elite 2024. There are so many jewelers out there and the only way I chose Padani is because of their impeccable service, not the bottom line like this place. 0/10 would never recommend. ETA for the UNACCEPTABLE reply. In the end, your coldness in service stands. Out of more that 5 jewelers, yours was the only one who didn't acknowledge my situation (which would be sensitive to anyone who lost a loved one), and abruptly said, and I quote: "it's not for us." Sit with that. ETAA because the owner can't take accountability and harassed me in messages, even threatened me: "You're making it worse for yourself" and how is that? Are you going to doxx me and come after me? I'm in the midst of grieving. You have 5 stars and you can't deal with one negative review? read more

Professional, knowledgeable courteous . Went into Dorano Jewelry to sell a diamond ring and left feeling like we got a decent / fair price in today's market . Dorano Jewelry has beautiful pieces if you're in the market to shop as well , located in a cute area of shops , parking conveniently out front .. great experience. read more

I took a ring here to get it sized so that I could determine what size ring to propose to my now fiancé and the guy/owner/whatever said that they can't size the ring... like.. be real. He gave the impression that he did not want to help me, probably made assumptions or whatnot, can't exactly explain it. Crap service and a missed out opportunity for a lifelong customer. I since got service elsewhere where they were able to get the ring sized and I made my purchase there. (Bridal Rings Company!) Don't recommend this store! Hopefully the staff has a better attitude and drive customers away because they assume they aren't worth their time. read more

This place is the best!!! I need some jewelry fixed and he did just on the spot. Charged me a fair price.

First time here since i needed to get a couple pieces repaired. When we got there the worker told us to wait outside the gate which is locked since he was finishing up with another customer. When he was done with the customer we went in and i gave him my pieces to repair and told me it would take 20 mins to repair all of my pieces but definitely felt like it took less time than that but did amazing work on my repairs and very reasonably priced plus very local to me which is nice. Id recommend coming here if you need jewelry repair service. read more

【Background】 Wednesday, January 22, 2025, 1:27 PM One of the links on my 23k solid gold Franco chain recently broke. (Probably because I wear my chain 24/7, so I think a link snapped when I was sleeping). Using Yelp, I requested a quote from multiple jewelry repair stores nearby. Some owners responded saying they only use 14k or 18k gold soldering, and the estimated expenses ranged from $15 to $150. It was essential to me that my chain was fixed using at least the same karat gold; Garen from Dorano Jewelry replied saying it would be no problem and estimated the repair time to be 10 minutes to 2 hours depending on the store's busyness and the cost to be $25. Because of these advantages, I chose this location. 【Service】 I arrived at the store in the afternoon. Luckily, there were no other customers inside, so I was helped immediately. After being buzzed in through the locked gate, I sat down at his desk and explained my situation. He said he would try a laser welding repair technique first, which would connect the two ends of the broken link together, so there was no need to worry about replacement material. After about 10 minutes, he came back out and said the gap was too big, and the ends couldn't connect. As an alternate strategy, he would have to use extra material but didn't have any 23k wire. After looking around in the back, he found a piece of 24k gold jewelry that could be used instead. I asked him how much it would cost, and he said he would still honor the $25 estimate, which was very nice of him. After another 10 minutes, he finished the repair and handed the chain back to me for inspection. I could see a slight color differential between the repair site from the original chain, probably because they have different purities, so I guess I can't expect a perfectly seamless repair. Also, I wasn't too concerned since the break was located near the clasp, so the repair site won't be super visible while I wear the chain. Overall, the service was quick and affordable, and I'm glad Garen repairs with higher purity material. However, I would've liked more detailed explanations about what he was doing. Also, it was a bit tedious having to go back and forth between sitting at his desk and waiting in the seating area outside the locked gate while he worked in the back, but I can't fault him for being cautious. At least I got to pick out some candies from a small dish after everything was done. I'll definitely come back if I need to fix my chain again in the future. 【Parking】 There is street parking in front of the store. Additionally, there are small private parking lots in the back for all the businesses. Be warned that these lots are extremely tight, so I had to reverse out all the way to the road since I couldn't turn my car around. read more

My ring was white gold and I wanted it dipped to be yellow. 100% what I wanted. Love my new color of my ring!!!! read more

Fairly priced jewelry with beautiful pieces. Owner is also very straight forward and honest. Free street parking available.

Great selection of books and bibles. Friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend to anyone looking for spiritual books.

Dorano answered my question and replied so quickly after I accidentally banged my diamond ring on a kitchen cabinet clumsily. The prongs loosened and the diamond flew out. I was able to walk in the next day. Ring was fixed in less than 24 hours ! Amazing communication. My ring was cleaned as well and is soooo sparkly! read more

I have come to Dorano multiple times. Garen is very efficient and kind. Garen graciously answered any questions I've had. He's really helpful in terms of letting me know the value of various pieces I've brought. He even suggested on one piece that I not sell to him because if I sold it online I would get a better price. I do book an appointment before just so I know I can get in and out at the time I requested. . It's always a great experience. Excellent, efficient service...HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

My husband and I needed our wedding rings cleaned and polished 3 days before our wedding. We contacted Garen and he did a beautiful job. He was highly professional, quick, and in our budget. Thanks, Garen, for contributing to our special day! read more

Really awesome experience! Great customer service, explained everything perfectly and tried to make sure we got the best deal possible. I really appreciated the time and attention I received.

Very happy with the visit and repair of my chain. The work was done fast, within 5-10 mins. I appreciated the help and experience

The clasp on my silver necklace broke and needed to be replaced. I asked several jewelry stores in the surrounding area for a quote. Dorano replied quickly and gave me the lowest quote out of 5 other stores. The man who helped me was very friendly and repaired my necklace in minutes. I highly recommend this store. read more

My husband needed to get my wedding band resized from a 7 to a 7.75 (yes, I have big fingers ). I came to Yelp to help find a place and came across Doran's Jewelry. I sent an inquiry and got a quick response back with a straight forward quote. $45 to resize, either up or down. The Yelp reviews were quite positive so we trusted the other Yelpers and brought our ring to Dorano. My husband was told it would be done the next day but he got a call just a few hours later saying my ring was ready to get picked up. It was fast which was perfect for us procrastinators because we had to leave for our wedding very soon! Other places said it would take 5-7 days at a higher cost to boot! My ring fits perfectly on my finger and we will definitely be using and recommending Dorano to others. Thank you ! read more

Terrific little store for selling gold jewelry. The buy rate is reasonable. The owner I believe (didn't catch his name) is nice and efficient in handling the cash exchange for gold buying. read more

My husband and I brought in antique wedding bands that his father designed and had made - over 70 years ago. My husband was nervous about resizing. Garen did a beautiful job! And quickly and reasonably priced. No wonder he has so many 5 star reviews! read more

They Fixed my wedding ring! I was so happy with the results! So quick and easy. The gentleman was so knowledgeable! Definitely coming back.

We were helped immensely and treated fairly and honestly. While I did not end up selling the jewelry I'd hoped to, I will definitely visit again when I'm looking to purchase instead! read more

Fantastic jeweler! I came in to sell some rings yesterday and Garen was such a great guy. He gave me the best quote of the day, but he insisted I still try some other places to see if I could get more. It turns out, he paid put the most out of everyone. He's a certified gemologist, so you can have faith he knows his stuff. He's also very thorough and answered all of my questions. He's also very generous with his candy on his desk. This man deserves 10 stars! read more

I took a new bracelet I bought elsewhere for my son here for sizing. Garen was very nice and helpful. Will definitely consider coming back to make a purchase in the future. read more

Fair prices on scrap gold. Pleasant and honest. Highly recommend. the owner explains the process. appreciate expertise.

I brought in my gold necklace to be repaired, which had been passed down from my grandma. Garen took excellent care of me throughout the entire process. He fixed the necklace beautifully. I highly recommend this place for their top-notch customer service and craftsmanship! read more

When my cross necklace broke, I was sad. I thought it would be too much to repair and would get a new one instead. But it's special to me so I went to yelp and sent out job requests. Thankfully, Mr. Garen responded! Other people were quoting insane prices but he was fair and said it would only take 10-15 minutes. When I arrived, he buzzed me in(very professional and safe location!) and examined the necklace and said he could repair it in 5 minutes. He did! He also told me that he didn't feel right charging me what he quoted since the necklace wasn't real gold. What a good kind honest jeweler! Rare breed these days. The Bible says due to the increase of wickedness, the hearts of most will grow cold. But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved! May we all treat each other as kindly as Mr Garen and never let our hearts grow cold towards strangers or each other. Thank you so much for fixing this gift! read more

Had our wedding rings sized here recently. Owner was great! At first he wasn't sure if he could size my fiancé's wedding band due to the materials of the band, which is very understandable (was told the same by other jewelers). But after trying different techniques he was able to after all! His prices are reasonable and he was so fast. Sized 3 rings in under 3 hours with great communication. He also has a great collection of jewelry and can custom make/design pieces. We will definitely be back and refer others to this place. read more

I was in need of money for emergency and I found this Dorano Jewelry here in Yelp and talked to Mr. Garen that I'm coming. When I came he immediately appraised my gold necklace and bracelet, told him that I have a lot of jewelries but for the meantime I need only specific amount. He gave me his price. I don't go anywhere coz he examined my gold infront of me. I know other jewelers they examine inside without seeing what they are doing. He is honest and giving a fair price. Thanks Mr. Garen. See you next time again and I will refer you to all my friends. God Bless. read more

Garen is amazing!! Whenever I've sold gold and other precious metals to him, he offers the best payouts hands down. Takes his time and carefully explains the process. He also makes stunning pieces that you should really explore. A hidden gem (pun not intended) of Huntington Dr! read more

I had a necklace that had its chain broke and naturally I was looking around to see who'd be able to do it and that's when I stumbled upon Dorano. Firstly, they had replied to my message in less than 20 minutes with a quote and when I arrived the owner, Garen, checked out the necklace and gave me a time estimate of 10-15 (it honestly felt faster than that). In no time my necklace was repaired perfectly and I was set to go. Overall Garen was extremely friendly, and the service+customer service is a huge reason to go back. Would absolutely recommend coming here if you ever need a repair. read more
