Honest honest HONEST appraisal. Brought in a beautiful 18k gold bracelet. We looked up the gold price for that day and was given exactly $125 less. I was so surprised and pleased. $125 for his time. Well worth it! read more

BEWARE!!!! fun Was referred to Marco of Solitaire jewelers to buy silver. I took my silver bars there and met with him. He gave me not market value but way below. He stated $14,300. I said let's move ahead. He then came back with $600 less. I told him you told me 14.,300. Bait and switch at its best. I definitely won't be back and I will tell everybody I know that wants to sell not to go there. Very disappointed with the price he gave and then the antic he did at the end read more

The results ended up PERFECT believe it or not this promise ring used to only fit on the tip of my pinky finger, and it was missing a small diamond on the side. The owner he's a wonderful person he was able to replace the missing diamond with a small CZ which looks so beautiful you'd never be able to tell it was gone! The pricing is perfect I ended up paying about $65 for the replacement as well as ring size adjustment! I almost decided to sell this rig cause it couldn't fit me anymore but thankfully I found Solitaire Jewelers! If you need ring adjustment at a fair price I'd say this place is my #1 Go to if you've got rings that need adjustments and are too dear and important to let go of! read more

Solitaire Jewelers - This ring used to only fit around my pinky finger! - Jewelry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I must start by saying I am in my 60s, very picky and sometimes fickle. I have not been disappointed whenever I visit. This is a full one stop shop. From emeralds, to diamonds, to gold (rings, chains, pieces, bracelets...) you will find something for you or a special someone in your life. I can usually find something there in my price range. I even had my rings and bangles sized there. Quick and Easy, pick up the next day if they are not busy. If you simply want to look it's OK too. They have upped their security which is amazing too with this crazy world. It's simply a lovely place to shop. The only thing missing is a nice cup of hot or cold tea *;-) too much? Joking read more

Great service, selection and value. If you're looking for a good jewelry store forget the big overhead businesses and work direct with the owner. read more

Marco was so knowledgeable and excited to help. My girlfriend and I brought a custom ring she got me in Pa'ia, which unfortunately was a bit too small for my index finger, and a bit too big for my pinky. The ring cost $275. Since I wanted to wear it on my pinky, he suggested instead that we simply use a ring size adjuster -- which he gave for free! He said that the resizing process on the ring (silver), since it was custom, would have been nearly $200, which means Marco saved us a great headache. Marco clearly cares a lot about his business, and wants to see his customers happy. Definitely recommend dropping by for any jewelry needs! Thanks Marco! read more

Solitaire Jewelers - Ring with resizer -- can you spot the resizer? - Jewelry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

There are very few jewelry stores that I am willing to spend more than 2 minutes in. Having worked in the industry and obsessed with learning everything I could about diamonds, colored gemstones and the artistry of goldsmiths- I have become obsessed and informed. I'm passionate about the origins of stones, the story certain pieces tell, the history of estate pieces, the quality of diamonds and gemstones and it is not often that someone impresses me with their knowledge on the subject. I guess what I'm trying to say is that most jewelry stores are full of salesmen who know very little about jewelry beyond their own inventory and have no passion in sharing the uniqueness of each piece or gem. What's worse - they try to sell you on false information at times... especially to those that don't know any better. Places where poor unsuspecting customer gets ripped off. You won't find that at Solitaire Bridal. Marco, the owner, is very knowledgeable and has a collection of amazing pieces ranging from Rolex to Chopard to Ming's estate jewelry! His shop is like a collector's dream walking in there! You never know what treasure you'll stumble upon. He also buys gold and his is one of very few businesses that is licensed to do so. My husband and I came here in search of a unique wedding band for him. We looked through Stuller, the estate pieces, various catalogs and not finding anything that wowed us, he brought out two rings from the safe. One was my husband's -now- wedding band. It was an 18k band with authentic meteorite embedded and three VVS diamonds for light... simply stunning!! Unfortunately, meteorite is high maintenance but this ring is masculine, unique and elegant all at the same time. It even matches my rings, too! It was perfect. He couldn't have picked anything that would make us happier. Upon choosing his band, hubby told me to look for wedding earrings to go with my dress. I browsed for all of 20 seconds and found the perfect pair of 18k white gold diamond chandelier earrings. They were heavy in gold and so intricately detailed!! The prices for both were affordable and he even takes Synchrony credit cards and financing. Why 4 stars? Well, the last several times we came in search of adding to our collection, they were always closed!! Even on the days that they said they'd be open and when they WERE open, no jewelry was on display. This happened at least four times and it just felt a bit like a waste of time making the trip from Aiea to town to not get to see anything. Conclusion: call first and if no one answers, don't risk it unless you're passing through the area anyway. They validate parking. read more

Marco was tops from beginning to end. Stayed in touch via text and sent pictures and updates promptly. When he said it would be ready or come look at this or that, it was there. No pressure and no "deposits". We were both very very impressed by his customer service. His very friendly, patient and funny demeanor made it easy for us to make a decision on our engagement ring. He showed us endless design possibilities and made us feel comfortable asking 100 questions or more. We went to many places and we were the happiest with his help. I'm absolutely satisfied and happy with our purchase. We will be seeing him again in the future for sure. Thank you again Marco! read more

I bought my boyfriend a silver ring made by Stone O'Daughtery from a store in Pa'ia, Maui, but we needed to get it resized. I decided to find a place after we came back to Oahu and I came across Solitaire Jewelers on Yelp. Marco was Yelp easy to talk to and allowed us to change our appointment time last minute. He was incredibly helpful and upfront that it would be both difficult and expensive resizing a custom ring like the one I bought. Instead, he gave us a ring resizer free of charge! Would definitely come back again in the future. read more

I decided to sell some of my gold and silver jewelry, that I don't wear. I didn't feel comfortable going to a pawn shop, so I came to Yelp for reviews. I chose Solitaire because it's a 10-minute walk from my home and had good reviews. There are beautiful pieces in the cases! I fell in love with a few of the diamond bracelets and saw some interesting looking estate pieces. I sat down with the owner who looked at everything, weighed it, and paid me a fair price. It was a painless transaction and the owner was very personable and knowledgeable. I recommend coming here! read more

My fiancée and I searched around the whole Island in search of a men's wedding band and had absolutely no luck. We found Solitarie Jewelers online and decided this was a place we wanted to check out.

I tried many different jewelry stores when searching for an engagement ring for my fiancé, but Solitaire was hands down the best. I found the perfect ring from a very very large high quality selection and the price was phenomenal for the value. After meeting Marco you can tell that he is extremely knowledgeable about his jewelry and also very personable and fair with his customers. I had asked him to set aside a particular ring that I was interested in for a wedding band, and nearly three months later when I came in to see if they still had it, sure enough he remembered me personally and I bought my fiancé's wedding band.

I was looking for a specific cut and quality stone for an engagement ring and Marco, the owner, sourced a variety of options for me to pick from. He also explained in detail the numerous other considerations and wound up educating me on the history and trends in engagement rings in general. It was a relaxed, fun, no-pressure experience. He replied promptly to all of my many emails. He rightfully comes highly recommended by many people in Honolulu - in fact, he was referred to me by another jeweler who could not get the type of diamond I was looking for. I later found out that my wife's colleagues also recommend him. read more

I purchased a "previously loved" Breguet watch from Marco. There was zero pressure during the process and Marco very patiently answered ALL of my questions. This is not the kind of purchase I can make on the spot and it took several additional calls and emails to work out the details and for me to be comfortable buying the watch. Marco is a true professional, friendly and you can tell he loves what he does. I also love that during the entire process he never once pushed. It was a pleasure dealing with him and I am sure I will be back for more jewelry and watches. Keep up the good work. Many many jewelers could learn from this store! read more

Once we were able to establish our desired price point, he showed us many options including settings, stones, and even vintage rings. This allowed us to create a ring just perfect for the two of us! We never felt any pressure and were grateful for his time and expertise. I can't wait to go back and talk with Marco about designing our wedding bands!

Solitaire Jewelers - Jewelry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

If you're looking for an engagement ring, GO SEE MARCO! He custom made my ring and it is amazing. I went to a few places looking for the perfect ring and couldn't find anything, then I went to Solitaire and explained to Marco what I wanted and he told me he could make it in a couple of weeks. Well one week later he made the perfect ring for me. His work is quality and the price was right. He and his wife are the nicest people. This is definitely the place to go when looking for jewelry. read more

We were sold fake glass jewlery that supposed to be sapphire and Zultanite. They said they had certificates of authenticity. Another lie. Not to be trusted. read more

We have a lot of jewelry from a store we closed few years ago, when we had time to sell it, I went to Marco. There are several reasons why Solitaire gets and deserves 5 stars. 1. There are many businesses out there claiming "highest paid" for unwanted jewelry, but only Marco keeps his word; the rest are out to rip you off. He was willing AND did negotiated a price with me because I wanted more than he initially offered. 2. He explains in detail about your jewelry without pressuring you to sell it. He informs you on his price offer to buy, his price to resell OR what his plans are for it, and the price it is sold else where. He's also willing to inform and answer your questions honestly and to the best of his abilities even if you weren't interested in selling. 3. He responds to emails and messages very quickly, usually by the next day. He responds so quickly he doesn't give time for you to ponder "i wonder if he got my email" thought. It is nice to know that you can get a hasty response which makes you feel as though you're an important customer. 4. Another great quality is that if he is not interested in your piece he is willing to help you find someone who might be through his contacts. I had a piece he didn't need and wasn't interested, he offered to call around to a few people he knows thats might be interested. 5. Not only does he buy jewelry, Solitaire also sells exquisite jewelry! The jewelry there is of great quality and beautiful. 6. Him and his staff are always helpful, courteous, and friendly. It gives a welcoming feeling when there is great customer service. The list can probably go on but if that's not enough already, I'm not sure what you're looking for! Usually when selling their jewelry, it's a difficult decision to make whether it is sentimental or financial, and it is a difficult process to go around price quoting. What you probably want is a honest, reliable, and easy way of doing it; Marco gives just that and more. read more
