I'd highly recommend anyone in the market for engagement rings to make a stop here. Ask for Jack,…read moreyou'll be in good hands. When I was shopping around for engagement rings I felt overwhelmed, it's a daunting task. Going to large retailers and name brand shops made things feel even more overwhelming - those shops would typically just keep trying to steer me to higher priced items instead of actually answering my questions. Even when I gave them a budget those shops would consistently keep steering me towards settings and diamonds outside of my budget range (and I had a healthy budget too). What also bothered me about the large retailers was that they always carried a sense of arrogance around them; it may be a sales tactic to make you feel like you are buying luxury from them, but definitely something that turned me off from working with those shops. This is where Kim Van Jewelry comes in and differentiates themselves. I worked with Jack Tran whom was wonderful to work with. He was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Jack gladly shared his knowledge with me. He was patient in showing me the various different ways to assess color, clarity, and cut - and helped me select the best combination based on my criterion, and on criterion that I had not considered before. What was great is that he did not push me to select the highest cost items, instead he helped me fully understand what I valued the most to make my selections. We ended up buying a diamond and ordering a custom setting from Jack. He was easy to work with, gave great communications (I especially liked that he is proficient in emailing and texting, which I know anyone reading this review would appreciate), and was very accommodating to adjust to my work schedule. I know we got a great deal here on a quality set.

My mom took me all the way to Oakland to buy jewelry for my wedding. I did not understand why we…read morehad to drive all the way from San Jose to the east bay when there are obviously diamonds everywhere. Apparently diamonds are cheaper in certain areas because of competition and availability which is understandable. It is your traditional Asian owned jewelry store. They had a small selection, but we were able to find the perfect bangle. It would have been a couple thousand more if I had bought it at an American store and at least 5,000 more if I bought it at Tiffany's or Bailey, Banks & Biddle. I just loved it. So simple and elegant. They let us pick out our diamonds and it was made then and there. They will work around your budget and if you have cash, even better. I think we got a fabulous deal. So much so that my mother was able to get a gorgeous diamond necklace for herself. The service is great and they even cleaned all our other jewelry while we waited. I don't think I can go back to shopping in an American store. You just don't get the greatest bang for your buck.

I originally ordered a different setting, but after my wife and I looked at rings together, I realized she liked a completely different style.

She was patient, never made me feel pressured, and genuinely seemed to care about getting everything right instead of just making a sale. The finished ring turned out even better than I expected, and the craftsmanship is beautiful. If you're looking for someone who listens, communicates well, and wants you to leave happy, I'd definitely recommend asking for Sybil. I'm really glad she was the one who helped me through the process.

We had STELLAR customer service from LK, who was so lovely and patient. When I told LK I wanted a low profile ring, LK knew exactly what I meant, showed me those exact types of rings and answered my millions of questions. They let you look at a few at a time so you can really compare the rings to each other. I never felt rushed to hurry so they could help the next customer and I never felt pressured to make a choice. They understand that this is a big decision ($!) that warrants lots of window shopping and that you need time to shop around and compare rings & prices. The place is very upfront about pricing and helps you take pictures of the rings, their prices, and the item code. This makes it so much easier to keep track of final prices, makes it easy to compare prices, and makes it easy for your partner to go back without you and get the exact ring you want :) Thank you LK!

The resizing process was very strange, multiple resizing tools were used, leading to confusion. The ring was resized incorrectly, so they offered to resize again. Generally at this point, the fee for resizing should be refunded. During the process the ring was resized incorrectly several times. There was no communication through out the process. After the ring was resized correctly, the Opal came back damaged and there was a flaw in the band. There was no communication about anything, the customer service is severe lacking, especially for a luxury goods dealer. The entire experience has soured my view of Esqueleto, I will never refer anyone, if I know anyone who is thinking of purchasing through them o would strongly suggest against it.

The most upsetting part isn't even the money I spent. It's the fact that I specifically asked multiple times whether these bundles were 100% human hair and whether they could be lifted and dyed, and I was repeatedly assured that they could. I trusted what I was being told, spent my money in good faith, and planned around the information I was given. Only to find out that the hair would not take color the way I was promised. As someone who works in the beauty industry, I understand that hair quality matters, and I know the difference between a product that delivers on its promises and one that doesn't. What makes this experience so frustrating is that I gave the employees multiple opportunities to be honest with me before I made my purchase. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I simply wanted to know what I was paying for. If the hair wasn't suitable for coloring, all they had to do was tell me the truth. I could have made an informed decision and spent my money elsewhere. I understand that businesses offer deals and affordable prices, but a good price means absolutely nothing when the customer is being misled. Not everyone is looking for the cheapest option. Some of us are more than willing to pay for quality, and we deserve honesty regardless of the price point. The saddest part is that this experience has completely taken away my trust in this business. You can offer the best deals in the world, but once customers feel deceived, that trust is difficult to rebuild. I would have respected them far more if they had simply been transparent about the quality of their hair instead of assuring me of something that my experience did not reflect. I'm not upset because I didn't get something for nothing. I'm upset because I paid for a product based on promises that were made directly to me, and I was left disappointed with hair that could not do what I was explicitly told it could do. Customers work hard for their money. The least a business can offer in return is honesty. Cheap prices should never come at the expense of integrity, and no customer should have to question whether the people selling them a product are telling them the truth. This experience was unacceptable, and I genuinely hope this business takes its customers more seriously moving forward.
