I absolutely love May Martin! I have been going here for about 4 years now. Paulina is one of my favorite employees there, and Lily, the owner, is so sweet and kind. Their pieces have lasted forever for me and if anything breaks they are super considerate and repair it! I just got a new necklace that I'm obsessed with and love their bracelets and rings!

Came in to return a gift that was given to me. The woman with blonde hair was rude and super condescending. I didn't have the receipt and didn't want to have to ask my friend for it. The woman said it was damaged ( it was just a smudge from my finger on the white package) and they don't carry this anymore ( implying that's it's old) and saying they only have a 7 day return policy which I wouldn't know because I didn't have the receipt and it was a gift I received 2days ago. I understand having policies but what happened to being polite and kind about it. I have never shopped here before and looks like I will never return.

My favorite pieces of jewelry are from here--- I'm always getting compliments on them because they are beautiful, unique, and minimalistic. If I could I'd have even more pieces from here--every time I'm in SoCal i make sure to stop by because I love the shop and everyone there is so nice. Thank you!

UPDATE , I'm attaching a photograph of a pair of earrings I bought here that have turned bronze less than a month. I never thought I'd have that issue, also a reason I have bought from May Martin (the real gold aspect). So disappointing. My jewelry from here has always been beautiful. I drove 4 hours to come to this store for that very reason. However, there is an issue with some costumer service and question of cost. I trusted my cost was calculated accurately, but was confused when the prices did not match my receipt. I gave my feedback and they kept asking that I call rather than explaining to me over the feedback thread. I found it rather odd that they didn't want to explain it in writing. The woman who helped me (who I believe is the designers mother) also was very clearly impatient and asked me to pay before I was done shopping, and then wrote in my signature for the payment. This seems to me a very bad practice that could put the company at a liability. I still love my jewelry, but I will restrict my purchases to online, if ever, in the future.

Huge thank you to South Coast Jeweler for saving my finger today!…read more My trinity ring was completely stuck and causing severe swelling, and they were able to cut it off safely, and carefully so that I can at least get it repaired. The whole process took like 1 minute, so I appreciate how quickly it took. Lol They were very welcoming and friendly the moment I walked into the store.

My fiancé began his ring search knowing almost nothing about diamonds but was willing to explore…read moreand learn. He visited several jewelers across OC, from large retailers to family owned stores and even some that were recommended by other friends/family but none compared to the genuine care and honest customer service he received from Kathy and Jenny here! I came with my fiancé on his first visit here to get sized and choose some shapes that I preferred. Kathy patiently walked us through sizing and explored different shapes with zero pressure and so much patience. We loved how relatable she was and how natural and genuine our convos went! When he returned on his own, Jenny took her time to educate him fully and showcased her expertise (being in the business for 30+ years) and made sure he truly understood every detail, not just the 4 C's, but things other stores never even mentioned so he could feel confident making such an important decision. They actually encouraged him to even take his time and check out other places to make sure he was confident in his decision. This kind of customer care made all the difference! I didn't see the ring until the proposal, and it was absolutely perfect! But what makes it even more meaningful is knowing how much thought, care, and intention went into choosing it and how much of that came from the guidance he received there. I really can't thank both Jenny and Kathy enough for making his experience so smooth and seamless! If you're starting your ring journey and feel overwhelmed, go to South Coast Jewelers. They don't just sell you a ring, they make you feel confident, excited, and taken care of which makes this kind of experience so much more priceless.

Liberty Diamonds is the best jeweler!…read more I did tons of research before choosing a new jeweler, and Liberty Diamonds exceeded my high expectations because of their: --Excellent customer service --High-end products --Many years of experience --Reasonable prices --Trustworthiness I was in need of a new jeweler because my original jeweler went out of business, and then the jeweler I found to replace him didn't do as good of a job and, lately, was referring everything to junior jewelers who didn't give me the best service. So I went on Yelp and found Liberty Diamonds based on all of their 5 star great reviews, and I am so happy that Yelp steered me in the right direction! Liberty Diamonds is now my go-to jeweler, and I've actually done multiple things with them, which have all turned out perfect, including: --Ring repair: My grandma's antique platinum and diamond ring broke, and Liberty Diamonds fixed it for me and resized it so it fit my hand better. Amazing! --Jewelry design: I wanted a pair of multi-strand pearl and white gold earrings, glammed up from an older version I used to wear when I was in college, and Troy helped me design exactly what I wanted! The finished product was perfect and of the utmost quality! --Diamond ring polishing and maintenance: It had been a while since I had my rings professionally cleaned (other than a quick dip in the ultrasonic), so I dropped them off for a few days and got them back looking polished and shiny, like they were brand new instead of many years old! I really liked how Troy showed me my rings under a magnifying lens and then gave me options for repairs I could do. I chose to preventatively strengthen a prong, and everything turned out looking incredible! --Custom necklaces: Now I am designing coordinating necklaces for my daughters and myself with the help of Liberty Diamonds and it's a great process and I have tons of options at reasonable price points Liberty Diamonds is located in an office center near SNA Airport (off the 405fwy and MacArthur) and there's plenty of easy/free parking! I am soooooo happy with Liberty Diamonds and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a trustworthy, high-end, bespoke jeweler with outstanding customer service!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Liberty Diamonds for all of our wedding jewelry…read moreneeds, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! From the very start, my husband worked closely with Troy and the team to design a truly beautiful custom engagement ring. It turned out more perfect than I could have ever imagined. When it came time for our wedding bands, we purchased two wedding bands for me, and Troy helped us design a gorgeous, unique custom wedding band for my husband. The level of personalized care we received made a potentially stressful process fun and exciting. We couldn't be happier with our rings, and we will absolutely be going back to Liberty Diamonds for all of our future jewelry purchases!
