I wish there were a way to add extra stars to this YELP rating but my words will have to suffice. My first review was written a year and a half ago and I am very happy to say that Mimo's Jewelry is the place that I frequent for so many of my watch and jewelry needs. From a new battery in my treasured Raymond Weil watch to a gorgeous new ring fashioned from my old diamonds, Mimo is a genuine craftsman. Don't waste your time at the mall or anywhere else... invest in a beautiful work of art or quality timepiece and know that you are getting the best. read more

Mimo made my engagement ring, wedding band & husband's wedding band! He truly listened to what we were looking for, which made this experience so comfortable and exciting. We love our rings & get so many compliments. I recommenced him to everyone! Thank you Mimo!! We will be back! read more

I walked in and felt like a chump. It's a TINY store. But you see all of Mimo's exquisite hand crafted custom jewelry and elegantly framed photos of his other work on the walls. Meanwhile the owner is sitting at a jeweler's table fine tuning some piece or other. He gets up and greets me and asks what I have. I tell him that I have a lowly G-Shock rechargeable watch that is several years old. I explain that I had the battery replaced by another shop, but that the battery still doesn't charge right and that there's now moisture inside the case. He explains to me that once a G-Shock is cracked open, it's easy to not seal it back up properly like it was at the factory. He takes my watch, meticulously works on it for 30-40 minutes, dries out the interior, carefully puts the gasket back into place, adds a tiny bit of silicon sealant all the way around, puts the watch back together and hands it to me. I pull out my wallet, wondering why he hasn't told me how much his time has been worth. He waves me off and says "I didn't do anything. Next time." Can't tell you how many others I've referred to him who have had great experiences. And here I am feeling like a clown for waiting a year to finalize this review, and have kept neglecting to take my other watches that need batteries to him. Service like this sets small shops like his apart, and we need to do more to keep them in business! read more

I went to Mimo's for the first time to have ring resized. It was about a 1/2 size too small. I dropped it off on a Thursday p.m. & he called (as promised) me on Tuesday to tell me it was ready. Mimo's--nice store with great service. I will definitely be back! read more

Good guy! I dropped in to fit the bracelet for my new watch and he took care of it in 5 minutes. We talked about other watches and worked with me to figure out some good options. Didn't have what I was looking for but said I can find it online and he could try to get it. read more

I never understood why people say " I only go to my jeweler" until I was referred to Mimo. I came to him for assistance on getting my engagement ring and wedding band to sit flush and left with a beautiful piece of jewelry (left after/ right before). Aside from making beautiful jewelery, mimo is very helpful and kind. This is not your Zales type of jewelery, come to him if you want a handcrafted unique piece of timeless jewelery. I WILL ONLY GO TO MY JEWELER MIMO. read more

What a great experience I had with this jeweler. He was very kind and took the time to repair a cherished necklace for me. He appeared to be honest and caring about my experience. read more

I got my pearl earrings fixed here and they did a great job. Earrings were fixed and cleaned to look like new. Very happy with their service! read more

Mimo is a skilled craftsman who designed, molded and built my fiancée engagement ring. He provides a seamless experience and communicates every step of the way. He provides precise timelines and pricing that is fair and always transparent. Mimo goes above and beyond and does not charge for certain alterations and last minute changes like most operations. I knew he was the guy for the job the moment I met him. Also, just being in his shop for 10 minutes I watched 3 regular clients come in and you can tell he has deep personal long lasting relationships. Not to mention his work and design is flawless. Before he began work on the ring he took the time to digitize a mocked up precision rendering to ensure satisfaction and customization. Top notch guy backed by top notch work!

My fiancé found Mimo through Yelp when he was looking for a jeweler to make my engagement ring and I'm so glad he did! Mimo does wonderful work, and we loved my ring so much that we had him make my fiancé's wedding ring and the necklace I'll wear at our wedding as well. I'm so glad we had them custom made, the quality is world's above what you would get from a big jewelry store or department store. They are truly stunning. As a matter of fact, I had already purchased 2 diamond necklaces as options for our wedding at Macy's when we went into Mimo's to discuss my fiancé's wedding ring. I happened to be wearing one of them at the time. I was browsing Mimo's jewelry selection while they were discussing the ring, and I saw a necklace in the window that was very much like the one I was wearing, but the diamond was bigger and it was clearly superior quality, no visible flaws, while the one I bought at Macy's had a rather noticeable one right in the middle. I figured it would be way out of our price range, but I asked if I could try it on and was shocked that it was actually totally affordable and right in line with what I paid for the one at Macy's which was on sale! When we looked at the two necklaces side by side, there was no question. I returned both of the necklaces I'd purchased and had Mimo make me one instead. I will never make a large jewelry purchase from a department store ever again! Mimo is our jeweler now and we'll go to him for anything we need. He's also so nice and easy to work with, we have already recommended him to several friends! read more

Wow oh wow this place really impressed me. I got a wedding gift for my wife here on the fly and Mimo provided great recommendations and selections while being sensitive to my budget. I was honestly really impressed with how efficient he helped me as I was in and out within 20 minutes, feeling very satisfied with my purchase. Living in the Valley, I would drive back down to Long Beach if I needed to make another purchase. Thank you Mimo! read more

Mimo is very friendly and gave a great consultation when we came in for service. Fabulous work! My heart melted when he returned my fiancé watch! read more

I'm so so so happy with Mimo's service. Came in recently to get my white diamond ring resized, cleaned as well as diamond replacement. He's a true professional. He talked me through the whole process and was very patient explaining all of the details. I am so so excited to have found a true gem, my go to jeweler in the neighborhood. Truly hoping for their continued success. Their work is exceptional, beyond what I had expected. Just wow. Thank you so so much Mimo! read more

My fiancé and I wanted to stay local to Long Beach when it came to our engagement and wedding rings. Mimo created three beautiful rings truly capturing us and what we were looking for. He was really able to take strings of words and produce exactly what we had in mind while attending to aspects of our daily lives that could impact jewelry choices. I am still wowed every time I look at my engagement ring, as the design and craftsmanship is far superior to other jewelry I have. The care and attention to detail that goes in to every piece it truly remarkable and we will always return for all of our jewelry needs. I give Mimo the highest recommendation and encourage anyone looking for high quality and beautiful work to look no further. read more

Mimo is very friendly and helpful. Went in to buy a watch for myself. But, my wife got one that she really liked.

I went in to have a couple of links removed from a watch. There were two other customers who'd gone just a little before me. I was greeted as I entered by a man behind the counter. When I explained why I was there, he said he would take care of it and asked if I could wait about 15 minutes. I'm guessing it was because there were people ahead of me. When the man (I'm also guessing he was the owner) saw that I was just going to wait around, he asked the couple he was helping if it was ok if removed the links from my watch, it would take less than 5 minutes. They were gracious and had no problem with it and I got taken care of within a few minutes. I got excellent customer service, my watch fits great, and the price was better than I expected! Thanks to Yelp for helping me find Mimo's! read more

I am writing this review to be helpful. I have an engagement necklace (instead of a ring) with a 0.8 GIA beautiful diamond. However, its original style was too dull or even bad. The chain was too thick and the pendant was consistently flipping backward, so I had to readjust it every time. This bothered me so much!! My necklace clasp was broken last year, and I have been looking for the right place to improve its deign and fix the problem. I found this modern and clean design from the pictures posted by others. However, here I would like to share more details regarding the options and pros of this design. * Length: It is adjustable 16-18 inch chain. * Color: It has three options including white, rose, and yellow gold. Mine is white gold. * Pendant: The pendant nicely slides along the chain when you move. However, it won't be complexly out of the chain. Also, it never flips over. It stays on my chest nicely. This is the best part of the design. * Design: It is chic, modern, and clean. It really reminds me of the tiffany yard of diamonds series. I have to say that Mimo is very skillful and professional. He truly considers both aesthetic and functional aspects. I strongly recommend his business to everyone! read more

I needed my wedding ring resized in time for a wedding trip to Puerto Vallarta. Mimo first said it would take a week but I told him I needed it in 2 days. It only took him 1 day and it was a beautiful job. The size is perfect and the workmanship is superb. I recommend Mimo's very highly. read more

Excellent craftsmanship! I went in to get an old gold necklace fixed. He actually found where it was about to break in a second place. He fixed that and the break I went in for, and polished the whole thing up. It looks brand new. Prices are fair and he has nice ring designs available for purchase. Will definitely go back. read more

Mimo runs a very professional business. He replaced six watch batteries very timely. He even offered to replace same while I wait. He went above and beyond w one watch that has a plastic component at no charge. Highly recommend. read more

Started going to Mimo's this year and will keep coming back. He gives the best deals and excellent service. Bought 3 watches so far this year and two of those of watches were special orders. Also had a silicone strap replaced with a bracelet on a diver's watch and Mimo was able to find the perfect bracelet...very, very happy with watch and bracelet combo. Mimo is my go-to watch place now. read more

He fixed 2 watches for me. Excellent job. Would recommend him highly. Plus he's a nice guy. And the price was right too

I stopped in to get my Rolex fitted and he helped figure it out in one minute. Great guy, great help, A+ service. I will be back!

I honestly can't say one bad thing about this place. We met Mimo because my wife wanted to make her engagement ring smaller. He fixed it right away. So then I went there to buy my wedding band. He gave me a great deal for a high quality ring. We ended up getting my wife's wedding band there too. The diamonds he put on her wedding band are so clear, it kind of puts the engagement ring I bought her from elsewhere to shame. Then two weeks ago I lost my band playing golf. He replaced it for free and let me borrow a different band because we were going to a wedding that weekend. Simply awesome. My only regret is that I didn't know about him before purchasing the engagement ring! read more

Saw reviews and gave them a call. Excellent!! I had 3 of my necklaces repaired. Very easy, reasonably priced and superior service and follow through. Definitely will be going back! Plenty of street parking too. read more

Knowledgeable and classy guy. I stopped in, thinking I needed to get my ring resized. He attended to me right away, measured my knuckle and finger and assured me this is the best size for me, rather than just trying to get business. Appreciate the competence and honesty! read more

I always knew that I wanted my engagement ring to come from a local craftsman rather than a big name mall chain. I thought my search would be easy since I wanted something plain without any embellishment. As I began my search, I discovered how difficult a simple ring is to come by. After turning to Yelp and searching through the images I found almost exactly what I had envisioned on Mimo's page; a basic band with one stone. The first time I walked in to his store my only intent was to get a ballpark estimate on pricing as I was unsure of what the 3 C's meant, what cut I wanted, which color gold I wanted, etc. Mimo took the time to walk me through every option and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. I ended up buying a stone online and brought it in for Mimo to set. I went in one more time to approve the final 3D rendering and we ended up making several changes to it on the fly - I had no idea there were so many nuances in creating a ring! I really appreciate that Mimo was sure to get my opinion on every little detail before moving forward as there were a few things that I didn't even think about until he presented me with the options; he is meticulous. About a week later Mimo called to tell me that my ring was ready to be picked up. The ring in that box was even more beautiful than the one in my mind had ever been, and it was MINE! I could not be happier with the finished product and I will definitely be back for our wedding bands. read more

Mimo and his wife are so nice and friendly! Mimo did an amazing job resizing my engagement ring and repairing a gold bracelet that I thought was ruined forever! You can tell that he truly cares about creating beautiful work which is evident in his attention to detail. I will definitely return for any future jewelry needs!! read more

THE BEST! My best friend just got engaged and took her beautiful vintage ring to Mimo. I called to let him know that her engagement/going away party was happening a little earlier than originally planned (and she was moving out of state the following weekend). I told him how much it would mean for her to get it a little early to be able to show off to her friends and family at the party and he made it HAPPEN! I got to surprise her by letting her know her ring was ready early and it was the best thing ever. She is so happy with everything he did to make the ring its absolute best - would highly recommend Mimo for his excellent service and customer service. Thank you so much Mimo! read more

I needed to have my grandmothers wedding ring resized. Mimo was quick, honest and efficient. My rings came back looking beautifully pristine.. as if they time traveled back to the day my great mother was married. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. read more

Love Mimo and his wife. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Stopped in to get a new band for a watch that used to belong to my aunt. They did a great job finding a band as similar as possible to the original. I'm so happy to support a small business in Long Beach and will turn to Mimo's for all my watch needs in the future. Two thumbs up! read more

Mimo is a true artist and wonderful to work with! I came into his shop to have my mom's wedding ring sized. He suggested a new band which was the right call. The ring is beautiful and looks brand new! I also asked him to help me find a watch for a broken band that belonged to my dad. He found the perfect watch to match the band style at one of his weekly trips to the jewelry mart. What impressed me was that he took his time in finding the right vintage watch. I recommend Mimo for any custom work you want done. He also has a beautiful collection of unique pieces in his shop. A great place to find that one of a kind gift! read more

My boyfriend and I came into Mimo's while I was visiting him in Long Beach specifically for a promise ring. We had some initial ideas and sat down with him to discuss the design. He is able to make mostly anything from scratch and even kept us updated on the progress of the ring while it was being made. I have just received it the mail as of today. It took only about a little over 3 weeks for it to be made. It's very difficult to describe an idea you want to come to life but Mimo really did capture what I wanted! The small details on the ring make all the difference too. I'm so happy that we decided to buy from here! read more

I wanted to change my engagement band by adding more diamonds and straitening the band. It originally curved in at the top. I went in and he and his wife knew exactly what I wanted. I got it back a week and a half later and I am so in love with it even more than I was. Price was very reasonable. Right on time for my wedding next week. My fiancé took his in as well to get it engraved and it's perfect too! Thanks Mimo for your articulate work. read more

We found Mimo's based on reviews and there is a reason he has 5 stars. He not only is incredibly attentive to any requests, he really genuinely wants to make the best piece of jewelry possible. My fiancé and I purchased a stone and had him design a ring around it. It turned out even better than I could have dreamed! Thank you Mimo! read more

I bought a watch unseeen and online from Mimo's. The service was extremely fast, friendly, communication was excellent, the watch was absolutely perfect and it was rapidly and safely. I can not recommend Mimo's more and this is the place where I will buy from going forward, even from the other side of the country! read more

Mimo was very helpful and the price to repair my watch was also reasonable! My second-hand on my watch broke and the background piece was off-placed. Mimo told me that it'll take a week to fix it, but I got a phone call from him two days later and gave me the great news that my watch is repaired and I can come pick it up! I highly recommend this place to anyone that needs a fancy luxury watch or repair. read more

Let me start off by saying Mimo is THE best!! Mimo made mine our wedding rings and he was so great to work with!!! It was so fun to be able to come in with a design, go through the whole process and see our beautiful rings come to life. I loved the entire experience and even got to pick out the diamond! Mimo is kind and honest and I definitely recommend him! I still get compliments on my ring at least three times a week! Thank you Mimo!! read more

This place is amazing! I came here to have my sterling silver spinner ring fixed, it had a crack down the middle. The gentleman that helped me was so kind and very informative. He even told me about the ring and the history my type of ring usually has which I thought was pretty cool. He informed me how he was going to fix my ring and quoted a very reasonable price of $20 and it was ready in less than 3 days! When I called the shop to inquiry about pick up the lady on the other end was so refreshing and kind, it's not often that I find good business practice in Long Beach especially with kindness attached. Thank you so much! read more

Had our wedding rings custom made here. Great quality service! I had a very particular design I wanted done, and he was able to create exactly what I wanted. read more
