Bravo helped me buy my wife of 30 years a beautiful new diamond ring. We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Raven and she presented so many wonderful options to go with. She did a terrific job recommending design options that looked best on my wife's hand. In short I'm going back soon to visit bravo to get their help in redesigning and repurposing the old ring.. Thanks Bravo Jewellers you really earned that award! Rick from Carlsbad

    Bravo is truly incredible. I honestly don't even have the words. Katherine was an absolute saint…read moreand helped make a lifelong dream come true. I came in with a very special vision for my engagement ring and wanted to incorporate my maternal family members into a timeless design. We stopped by Bravo on a whim, with no intention of committing to anything, just to browse and gather ideas. From the moment we met Katherine, we were completely won over. She listened carefully, absorbed every detail of our feedback, and helped us bring the vision to life. I shared that I wanted to incorporate diamonds from both of my grandmothers' rings, and she absolutely exceeded every expectation. After trying on a few different shapes, we scheduled a second visit the following week. When we returned, Katherine had prepared full 3D renderings of three different designs based solely on what I had described verbally. She even had wax molds of all three so I could try on the shapes and sizes to truly understand how the ring would feel before finalizing the design. My fiancé ultimately surprised me with the ring of my dreams, and it was everything I could have ever hoped for. The centerpiece is a stunning, substantial oval diamond, with my grandmothers' diamonds beautifully cascading along the band. It is truly the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I am beyond grateful for the care, creativity, and dedication the Bravo team put into every step of this process.

    I can't even find the right words to begin expressing my gratitude for Sebastian and his team, but…read moreI will try. I came in months ago to review a diamond I had purchased under a microscope to confirm its GIA certification numbers. I had to do this immediately after work, as I could not risk having received the wrong diamond with any time passing. I wanted a natural GIA certified diamond with extremely specific dimensions and the only place I could have a shot at finding anything close was online - meaning I was taking a risk each time purchasing a diamond without seeing it first. I walked in to Sebastian's greeting. I told him up front that I was not there to purchase anything but if I can have his assistance in verifying my diamond's GIA cert number. Without hesitation, Sebastian said of course, verified the numbers and I went about my merry way. What stuck with me was how respectful Sebastian was of my jewelry. He only held the diamond after receiving permission and was extremely careful while handling it. It wasn't until much later, that I decided to go back to Sebastian to receive his input on another diamond I had picked out. I explained to Sebastian about why I decided on returning my first one and why I chose a new shape. Sebastian listened carefully, took note of my passion and due diligence of finding the right diamond, and again, gave me his professional expertise. After evaluating it, he gave me his honest opinion that as a consumer, it will be pretty tough to beat what I found - which also meant that the opportunity was taken away from Sebastian to make a sale. But I was stubborn and knew exactly what dimensions I wanted in my diamond and, in my heart, knew this still wasn't the right diamond for me. Sebastian never once minimized my research. He looked at me as someone who clearly has a passion for diamonds and for finding exactly what I wanted and chose to meet me where I was - all while understanding that my intention was not to make a sale through him. He informed me that what I was looking for can take months to find and once a diamond like that is available, it's usually swept off the market immediately. But still, my heart was set on something specific and Sebastian reminded me that in the end, the most important thing is that I love my ring. Fast forward - Sebastian kept looking for me on his own time and ended up finding me the most beautiful diamond I could have ever imagined. It was beyond the specifications I could have ever found and without hesitation, he purchased it, understanding that if he didn't, it would have definitely been purchased by someone else and that I may miss out on my chance. His team created the exact setting I wanted. Size 4 18k Yellow gold pave band with a hidden halo set on platinum head and prongs. It came out PERFECT. I have no idea how he managed to find the perfect diamond for me and then ALSO managed to make the perfect setting, but he did. And he did it with reassurance every time. I look at my ring now and I cannot imagine having anything else. He literally made my dream ring come to life. I cannot thank him enough- so I try by referring my friends. A friend of mine already took her antique diamond earrings to Sebastian and was thankful I found him, bc that meant she finally felt comfortable enough with someone to help reset a piece that meant too much for her to have gone with just anyone. Sebastian, thank you so much!

Utilizing their website, I was able filter and find a diamond exactly to my specifications which was well below the asking price of other online retailers. Throughout my research, I spent around 50 hours selecting a diamond. I emailed Sebastian, and he sent me a response within 24hrs to confirm my IGI inscription and ring size along with any concerns I had regarding the diamond I selected. A few days after, I requested a custom setting. Sebastian quickly emailed a 3d render of the design concept and measurements exactly as requested. She LOVES the ring. Thank you Sebastian and the team at William and Sons Fine Jewelers. We look forward to continuous business with your shop. - Dave

    I had recently become engaged and had a concern with a visible 'crack' line I could see in the…read moresapphire solitaire stone in my ring. My ring came from a local but semi-big jewelry company, and I wanted to share my concern first with a local and reputable jeweler. Liz went above and beyond to take multiple steps to make sure that my concerns were heard. As someone who doesn't know that much about fine jewelry, I had complete trust in Liz's expertise and her suggestions for following up on my concern (e.g. looking up the GIA certificate number, connecting with the individual who wrote my appraisal, connecting with my original jeweler with specific guided questions). For about two months of this journey, she was alongside me during many of these steps and precautions, including connecting multiple times on the phone to make sure that I was comfortable with each step we were taking. By the end, I was satisfied with the information we cleared up, and the steps we took to confirm that the 'crack' was a natural inclusion that came with the stone before it was placed in the ring setting. Liz's thorough commitment and generosity to help me, despite me not being an official client, speaks volumes to her level of service and dedication as a local jeweler. When it was time to design our wedding bands, there was honestly no one else I had in mind after how generous Liz was with my initial concerns with my engagement ring. Liz worked with my fiance and I to design our pieces. Something that sets Liz apart is that she will be upfront with you about a piece, telling you its longevity and practicality for your daily living, while also giving her professional opinion about how it looks. We never felt pressured to get a certain piece or go a certain direction, and she worked with us to better understand what we were looking for and narrow down the final vision. In the end, we both created custom pieces with complete confidence in Presley and Co. For any future brides, this was easily one of the most enjoyable and straightforward tasks of wedding planning. We love our pieces, and I couldn't be happier.
