I had an amazing experience with Lucas and the Sofia Jewelry team for both custom and restoration…read moreprojects. I inherited two very special rings from my grandmother. One ring contained 7 birthstones and was in really rough shape. Lucas somehow managed to completely restore the ring (a very difficult task) and it looks beautiful and brand new. The second ring was my grandmother's wedding ring. I had a vague idea to use the wedding band to create a new ring to honor my mom and grandmother who have both passed away. Lucas provided great design insights with my idea and produced a beautiful ring that meets what I was looking for while still representing and honoring the original ring. We then created a beautiful necklace with the diamond from the wedding ring. Lucas helped me transform important and sentimental pieces of jewelry that were just sitting in my jewelry box into pieces I can wear and cherish every day. He was extremely pleasant and easy to work with and handled my jewelry with care and precision. I highly recommend!

Janet had ordered a diamond but I had let her know that I went with another jeweler. Janet said I had "wasted her time"..I'm confident in their ability to craft an incredile ring, but they sorely lack business communication skills. Does she not know that customers can evaluate multiple vendors to see what is the best fit? Saying I wasted her time is extremely rude. Please be warned if you choose to not go with this vendor, they are nasty with their response and feel offended. It came across as arrogant (of course, it's Mill Valley..)

Quaintly situated within the Mill Valley Lumberyard, we were captivated by all the lovely baubles and unique jewelry pieces. I've traveled the world for many years, but have never been in a shop where I found a balance and combination of casual, delicate and higher end, well made pieces of jewelry. Stacy, the Owner-Designer made my experience and extraordinary one, listening to my needs and sharing an honest point of view by taking the time to find the right "sparkle" that complimented my earlobes for everyday wear to any special occasion. Thank you for the lovely experience, the sweet treasure / traveling case, extra posts and kindness shared with my niece! Tip: They offer consultations for custom made jewelry and gem settings.

I just needed the prongs on my engagement ring tightened. The woman gave me attitude about not shopping locally for my ring. I shop locally and also from other vendors, it's none of her business. Sorry other vendors have better prices and are taking your business!! She also said "my jeweler won't touch that" about tightening the prongs on my ring because it has a hidden halo?! What....hidden halos are incredibly common. Whatever, I went to another jeweler 10 minutes away and had my beautiful ring fixed up perfectly in 30 minutes. The woman provided such a gross experience, definitely will not ever be back or will not recommend to anyone.

I tend to prefer delicate pieces, but whether you like simple, delicate or bolder styles, her shop is a delightful mélange of handmade treasures. She's also my first stop for gift giving, as she always has an updated assortment of affordable necklaces, earrings and bracelets that my girlfriends have treasured. About a year ago, I lost one of my earrings, but the one that was left was charming - a golden feather and gemstone. Not one to like to see anything go to waste, I brought in the remaining earring and asked Julie whether she could craft it into a necklace, which she did. And a week ago, when I got around to switching out my dresser, I found the match hiding behind it! So instead of having her dismantle the necklace, I had her make me a bracelet and I got to select the different elements and I love it!
