They don't guarantee their work, Even though he told me merely a week earlier they did…read more I had a pair of earrings repaired. I paid over $100 for them to replace the posts and the first time I wore them, one pair broke. Within an hour, that $100 repair went down the drain with my faith in humans to do the right thing. It wasn't even a week from the time I picked up his shoddy work. When I tried to bring it back, not only did he give me attitude, but he wanted to charge me. He even said he remembered when I came in with my male friend when we spent hundreds of dollars. He said he was willing to throw in the labor but wanted me to buy a new earring back and post which was not even gold. And he wanted to charge me $50 for a metal, (NOT gold) post and earring back. How many earring backs have you lost in your life? It wasn't just his greed that annoyed me, it was his total and utter disrespect of me as a human. I find men like this treat women very differently when there's another man with me. I wouldn't trust these folks. Plus he obviously doesn't respect older women. Steer clear.

After going to three or four jewelers in LA who didn't think they'd be able to rebuild it, we found Ricardo Basta. The staff was amazing and transparent, explaining the different repair options and pros and cons of each. They worked with us for an amazing price, and went above and beyond to repair the ring. It now shines, feels, and looks brand new. We worked with Karen and her daughter Sarah and were blown away by their friendliness and willingness to answer our questions, and the jewelry they have is beautiful. Trusting anyone with something so sentimental and old is nerve wrecking, but we're glad we did, and will be only using them in the future!

Wow. What more can I say. I brought Sam my wives engagement ring from 10 years ago. Unfortunately…read moreshe had lost 2 diamonds on it and the prongs holding the diamond looked beyond repair. One of missing diamonds was the main one that she cried and cried for days about. I came to Sam and he worked his magic, mind you during the Holidays! Within a few days, Sam had the ring ready as promised and not only brought tears to my eyes, but made our 10 year anniversary celebration worth every single penny. Reasonable price and what a blessing! Thank you Sam! My only regret is not taking a before picture but dont hesitate! Go to Sam! Hes a wonderful person and has made my anniversary specially perfect! 10 stars and more are deserved!

I've gotten my daughter's gold charms soldered on, I've had many rings sized, I've had two rings with missing stones replaced, I had an Aquamarine earring turned into a pendant, and I've sold junk gold like broken bracelets and unwanted jewelry all here. So of course when I got engaged and was given a diamond ring by my future in laws, I brought it to a jeweler I trust! Rodrigo did such an amazing job on our custom wedding ring set, I knew he would but he went above and beyond. It has been the least stressful part of the whole wedding planning! And he prioritized getting the rings done so quickly, I literally got the rings before the alterations on my dress have been completed! All three rings pictured were custom done by Rodrigo and I've included a picture of the original ring with the stone. I am beyond the moon with how they turned out and am so thankful to Rodrigo for making the process so easy and really working with me to get exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend going to Alhambra Jewelry & Gold for all your jewelry needs! They also have a great selection of jewelry at the store and online!

Ever since experiencing such compassionate service in preserving my mother's lapis lazuli necklace,…read moreI've since returned to repair another heirloom, a pink pearl necklace that needed a new clasp and restringing as well as tightening up the stone on my 1920s vintage art deco engagement ring. I also had a broken gold anklet chain soldered as well as a broken-off piece from a gold-plated hoop earring. The final item was a rare high-grade sugilite silver ring I had purchased back in August that needed gentle polishing. Everything was perfectly done. I had come in the week of Thanksgiving and all of it was done by the second week of December. Make sure to say hi to Dalia while you're there. Here's the pricing: $150 for restringing pearls and replacing the clasp and tongue; $40 for soldering the earring part; $35 for soldering the gold chain on the anklet; $50 for tightening the diamond on the engagement ring (they added more platinum to help secure the setting); and $70 for gently polishing the sugilite ring without scratching it!
