Before the fix
Ulua H.

I couldn't say enough about Fabri and the wonderful service I have received here. I stumbled upon this place from Yelp. I broke my Gold Hawaiian fish hook and wasn't even sure if it could be fixed. I called all around and most places were like a month turn around rate. I called Fabri and spoke to Doug and explained to him the situation. I was able to take my fish hook in and it was fixed in 2-3 days! The fish hook looks brand new! I'm amazed on how it looks and I am very Thankful for Doug and his staff at Fabri. They were very professional and provided the best service out there. I highly recommend them!

People need to know about this. How can I compel you to understand that this is the best experience you can have while engagement ring shopping... can I just tell you this is the best engagement ring shopping experience and have you believe me? Let me explain. Many a gal will collect ideas on her dream ring via social media/Pinterest while never having seen the ring of her dreams with her eyes on her finger. What looks great on Pinterest & Instagram might look different in person, and often does. Fabri Jeweler blew my partner and I right of the water because, get this, they have over 1000 rings on display in a big loop around the store, organized by ring type and ALSO GET THIS: they are accessible to try on without having to repeatedly ask a doting salesperson "can I see that one...and that one...how bout that one." I don't know about you folks, but I've gotten into online shopping and for me, I'd rather be attended to when shopping when I want it. Doug and his wife are attentive and quick to assist you in your hunt if you have the smallest inquiry. You can walk around with a little box for favorites, and try on every ring your partner has seen on Pinterest and Instagram and more. It's incredible! Then you can sit with your collected ideas and take your time. I want to say: BRING YOUR PARTNER TO SEE TYE RINGS! I'm telling you they'll be so happy to get to look and you'll be relieved to not have to look at over 1000 rings and guesstimate if they'll be pleased while you're on your knee sweating it out. Plus, they'll only be seeing a rendition, not their actual final ring, which brings me to my next point: You can get a CGI 3-d imaging video of the ring you want with any modification you can conceive of...so if you want to see more stones, less stones, higher sitting, lower sitting, add this or remove that you can do it and see the finished product without ever having to put in an order. It's the most incredible thing. To top it off, you have a 1 year warranty on the ring (not tried but me but advertised and good to know) that if you don't like your ring, you can exchange it for equal or greater value and your stone has a lifetime warranty for upgrades. To really put the sprinkles on this glorious sundae, Doug and his lovely wife are so kind and helpful. Let's talk Moissanite, I know everyone is getting them because they're sold out everywhere, but no none is talking about it! Listen, they have such variety and beauty to the cuts, color, quality of moissanite you'll be bound to find your stone (as any can be ordered and seen before purchase) to match your needs for both financial wisdom and ethical sourcing desires. My partner and I wanted to see a very unusual cut elongated oval, and they were able to accommodate this through their suppliers. I just can't say enough about this unassuming jewelry store because I think I found the best engagement ahoppinexperience imaginable and I want everyone to know.

I would recommend Fabri Fine Jewelry to absolutely everyone. From the moment I contacted them, they were extremely personable, kind, and paid attention to the detail that I wanted for my ring. They offer some of the most beautifully designed jewelry in the country. The owner, Doug communicated very effectively with me throughout the process of the reset of my ring. He showed me many options that were in line with the photo of the ring setting I wanted. He ordered the ring, reset, and polished my new ring within 72 hours. If you are looking for a unique piece of jewelry, or looking to "recreate" your dream ring- I would look no further than this exceptional business! Professional, honest, high quality, and client centered! They also will polish and care for your jewelry at no cost after you purchase from them. This was such a nice perk for me! Enjoy your experience at this exceptional location in Bellevue! I think it's worth a trip across the bridge from Seattle too!

I'd give a million stars if I could! Hubby bought me a diamond upgrade for our anniversary. I wanted a different setting than I'd had before, so I started my trek to just about every jeweler in the area, from mall jewelers to high-end custom jewelers, and everything in between. I could not find "it", nor could I find anyone interested in helping me find "it". A friend told me about Fabri Fine Jewelry. I ventured in, expecting to see the same old thing. Wow, was I shocked to be greeted by hundreds of settings, right out in the open for me to touch, see, feel and try on. Doug was warm and welcoming, and had a sincere interest in helping me find exactly what I was looking for. I ended up with a custom design, and without Doug's endless help and patience, I would never have come up with the perfect end product. Revision after revision, Doug listened to what I wanted and made insightful, helpful and valuable suggestions, without being overbearing or condescending (like I got from another high-end Bellevue retailer). The most amazing part, is that I did not even purchase my diamond from Doug, yet he became so invested in making sure I was the happiest girl on the planet with my new bling. No matter what you're looking for, custom or ready-to-wear, check out Fabri Fine Jewelry in Bellevue. The selection, the ability to try on hundreds of settings without having a sales person breathe down your neck, the top-notch friendly service, as well as their custom design service makes Fabri the only place I will ever shop for jewelry of any kind. Thank you Doug, for a most amazing experience!

The jeweler inspected it and repaired it for no charge. I'm able to continue my trip wearing the necklace. Thank you Joseph's.

Now that my project has been completed, I owe an updated review. I'm giving an overall 4-star score…read moreprimarily because of the pricing. While the customer service is great, they charge a significant premium for being considered "premier" jewelers in Bellevue. I initially brought in a special gemstone with a chip to get repolished. I was originally quoted around $1,000, which felt very high. After I mentioned finding a place in Kent that quoted $300, they brought their price down to around $450. The repolishing job turned out fantastic! Since they did a great job on the gem, I decided to ask about making a custom ring. I wanted a size 10 gold setting with two small accent diamonds. They found three diamond pairs ranging from 1.14-1.33 total carats. Their estimated total for the 14k gold setting and natural diamond pair came out to $14,050-$17,956, which is very high for a ring, in my opinion. When I asked about lab-grown diamonds instead, the estimate dropped to $9,800-$10,300. Breaking down the math: They estimated $5,000-$6,500 for just the 14k gold setting itself. That leaves roughly $4,000-$5,000 for a ~1.33 ctw pair lab-grown diamond pair, which based on my search online should only typically costs a few hundred dollars. That is an enormous markup! I decided to go with another local jeweler who quoted around $8,000 total to make the exact ring in higher-grade 18k gold, including CAD design, setting, and two side diamonds (~0.70 ctw). Overall, the customer service here was great and the store atmosphere is lovely, but the pricing carries a massive markup compared to the rest of the market. Taking off one star purely for the cost.

My dream watch became a reality thanks to Lisha at Alvin Goldfarb Jeweler. Lisha is not only…read moresuperlatively passionate and knowledgeable about luxury watches, but she genuinely cares about her customers; to her, it is not just about the transaction, but about having an authentic connection with the customer and their story. Along my journey, I had visited a few other ADs, but none of the visits felt real or, dare I say, 'fun.' It was not until my visit to Alvin Goldfarb (almost by luck on my wife's suggestion!) and meeting Lisha that I became aware of how the experience *should* be. The store was beautiful and inviting. It was so easy for her to create a relaxed and familiar environment and to connect over the watches I am interested in, and it quickly just became fun to both get genuinely excited about the whole experience; it was like working with an old friend. It was during one of these visits that Lisha decided to surprise me with my dream watch. Let me tell you that as fateful as the first time I visited, this special visit almost did not happen. I had decided last minute to squeeze in a visit on a hot (for Seattle, 80+ deg) summer day after a hectic day of work. For several reasons, it probably would have been "better" to visit on some other day, but boy, oh boy, am I glad I did not listen to my left brain that day and instead went with my gut and reminded myself of how great of a time it would be to enjoy and talk watches with Lisha. We were mid-conversation, with an exhibition GMT Master II on my wrist, talking about watch news, watches as gifts, upcoming travel plans, family life, some current events when out of nowhere a gentleman in a grey suit walks up with a tray in hand, with a watch on the tray, handing it to Lisha. Things started to get blurry at this point, but here's what I remember: Lisha handing me the tray and saying 'That's your watch. I wanted to make sure you had it for your trip,' me (hopefully) able to say some words of astonishment and gratitude (I was stunned, in shock really), me having a hard time doing simple things I have done countless times (like writing my phone number and signing my signature), me not being able to stop glancing at my new wrist companion and feeling its heft on my wrist as our time together began. I also remember repeatedly thanking Lisha and everyone at the store ad nauseam, then sort of floating out of the store with my dream watch on my wrist. Days later, I am still on cloud 9 and incredibly thankful and stoked about the entire experience. Thank you again for the Nth time, Lisha :) I am looking forward to future visits to come, and I cannot more highly recommend working with you and Alvin Goldfarb. More power!

FRANKS experience should give warning & share the ugliness to customers about to frequent this store. Maybe my story will serve as a reminder to reconsider purchasing here. At the time or beginning of my story Alvin Goldfarb Jeweler who was an Authorized Dealer for ROLEX in the Pacific Northwest. After doing some research I started frequenting the store looking for a few Rolex watches. Yes , I was very specific in my choices but always given the " NO " you can't have one for over 2 years. I came in every 4 to 6 weeks just to check and " NO" was the mantra of the sales staff. I was always told we have other watches for sale. Like who cares what ya have if ya can't provide what I desire. Now one amazing summer day I saw the $6400 41mm Celebration dial by Rolex in the case. My excitement level increased and I ask if it's for sale? The mantra is now uttered "NO NO NO" ! However something new that day happened and was shared by sales representative, I was actually told if you spend a $1,000,000 in jewelry it should be no issue to get that watch..... Now I was stunned by this statement so much I said are you serious and the person said YES! Well, that seems excessive and ridiculous and no I didn't drop a million to acquire the timepiece. I'll never forgot the arrogance of staff member of Alvin Goldfarb Jewelry and defiantly will not purchase anything from them. OK, now this is the happy ending of the story. I did manage to acquire The Celebration dial by Rolex elsewhere so I have that going for me. And on January 1st 2025 the BIG HAND OF THE CROWN aka ROLEX laid the smack down on ALVIN GOLDFARB & pulled authorized dealership away from store. No longer can they sell ROLEX.... KARMA saw the bad business practices by using Rolex watches to lure you into buying unwanted jewelry or non Rolex branded watches you don't want in order to maybe purchase a Rolex. Well, this is my story my truth & my journey, can you dig it!

I did extensive Yelp research and talked with three jewelers before selecting Kevin Crane to do a…read moreslight repair on my solitaire band. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy jewelry or have it repaired. Despite that Kevin's sense of humor initially set me on guard (I'm a bit serious and don't tend to like salespeople in general), I found that he was the most responsive, knowledgable, and affordable (within a very thin margin) of the three jewelers. And in the end, he was really the only one of the three proposing to hand deliver just what I wanted. I was recently bequeathed a family heirloom solitaire diamond ring. Heirloom meaning it has no barcode, but can only be identified based on mapping its very slight imperfections and based upon its overall dimensions, weight, cut, and other characteristics. So, after hearing about jewelers swapping out stones in family jewelry in the past (and it taking lengthy processes to recoup compensation for the wrongdoing), I was admittedly wary of anyone working on this ring. However, it needed to be partially restored, because the crown's six prongs were in danger of no longer holding the stone due to normal wear and tear and also apparently some slight damage. Kevin helped me to select a new platinum crown and replaced it, setting the diamond slightly lower than before at my request. He also thinned and polished the band at my request (to better match my wedding band). All of the work was done within three weeks and looked stunning upon pick-up. And, when I had the diamond re-checked at the gemologists that originally appraised the ring, they confirmed it was in fact the same stone - not that I had any doubts once I saw it again - but just so you know, there is evidence that Kevin is just as trustworthy as he attests to being. I also witnessed him talking to a young couple looking for an engagement ring, and heard him providing them highly accurate information about diamond clarity and color scales. They had apparently received some very odd scale from another jeweler. So all in all, he does great work and has exceptional integrity. I will be taking any future work/transactions to him.

They did perfect repairs and sizing for a bunch of rings and were very helpful and knowableread more
