My husband needed to have his wedding ring resized smaller and he went to Stuart Benjamin because of all the great reviews. He wanted to have the work done in-house without any outsourcing. He could not be happier. The ring was expertly resized, along with newly added tips/prongs. The finished product was amazing, and the repair was a very quick process - so shiny and bright, and it looks brand new. If you ever need any jewelry repaired, buying an engagement ring, or other jewelry, you cannot go wrong with Stuart Benjamin. Blake, Lisa, and the entire team are fantastic to work with and are experts in their field. Please visit Stuart Benjamin, you will not be disappointed. read more

I love this business. They were so nice, listened carefully to what we were requesting, and all of the repairs, resizings, and custom work came out great. They are my new go-to jewelry business! read more

I was extremely nervous to relinquish my ring when it needed repair. But after reaching out and getting a quick response on yelp from Stuart I decided to check them out. The repair was quick, very reasonably priced and they did a full polish and refinish. My ring looks brand spanking new! To top it off everyone was so wonderful. Christine and Stuart were great. I will absolutely be back for all my repairs and upkeep. They were also celebrating their 20th anniversary when I came in to pick up my ring and I was able to enter into a staycation giveaway. Fingers crossed we win! read more

I had several pieces of jewelry to be repaired. I couldn't trust my precious jewels to just anybody. I needed a good jeweler, so I turned to yelp. I found Stuart Benjamin & Co. They were everything the previous reviewers had said. I had a watch link to be repaired (new screw), two gold chains and a delicate amethyst necklace to be repaired, and a diamond bracelet who needed clasp help to actually stay on my wrist! I dropped everything off the last week of November (2010) and was given a pick up date at the end of December. I really liked the pictures of my jewelry on the estimate sheet. The work was finished early and I already have all my pieces back (1st week of Dec.). EXCELLENT work. They even made me custom earrings (as we discussed at drop-off) to match my bracelet with the links they took out to fix the problem. 3 necklaces repaired, one custom screw made for my watch link, bracelet resized & clasp fixed and new custom earrings......all for under $500. BIG SMILE :) I am headed back tomorrow to drop off my brother's necklace for repair. I HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

What great personal customer service! I brought in a Techno Marine watch with a faded (and ugly) watch band that I wanted replaced. After balking at being informed that an official replacement watchband would cost me $100, Mr Benjamin suggested I leave the watch with him and he would see what he could do. It took a bit of time, and I have no idea how he managed it, but I now have a new white watchband on my beautiful watch at no charge. I know he spent time and energy making that happen, in addition to the research he did for me on resurrecting my poor abused Seiko. Still he insisted with a smile that there was no charge. But the thing that took me over the top was when he heard my 5-year-old daughter wishing she could have a ring with a pink stone, he came to a stopping point with the other piece of jewelry I brought in for repair, went to a treasure chest of sorts, and called her over. He gave her a silver plastic ring with a large pink "stone" surrounded by little "diamonds". She went from, "Mommy can't we go yet?" to "I'm like a princess!" in seconds. Bottom line: if you are looking for a jeweler who truly cares about his customers (big and small), who has built a great team, and delivers superior quality products, look no further. And I haven't even described their original jewelry selection... which is absolutely breathtaking. Well worth a visit! read more

Stuart Benjamin - My little girl shows off her new "diamond" ring as Mr. Benjamin continues working on my locket. Great cust service! - Jewelry Near Me - San Diego, California

I went to this jeweler because of their reviews on Yelp- So I figure that I really ought to add one of my own. A prong on my engagement ring broke! We went to this jeweler to repair it and they found (and showed me) two cracks in a side stone! We ended up repairing both, cleaning/dipping my engagement ring, wedding band, AND my husband's wedding band. I am very happy with the way the rings turned out! AND I am very happy with the price. They discounted my husband's ring since we were already having so much work done. Very cool. The staff was friendly, thorough, and informative. They were VERY polite and genuine on the phone. (Which I love- being a midwestern in CA...) read more

This place was awesome! Two years ago, my boyfriend got me a pair of really nice earrings from Kay Jewelers for Christmas. This past month, one of the posts broke off, and I took it into Kay to get it repaired. They wanted $95 FOR ONE POST! On top of that, they said that if I paid $150, I would get them back "looking like new"! I'm sorry, but $95 is way over priced to weld on a thin post of silver to an earring, especially when the earrings only cost about $200 to begin with! After poking around yelp, I found Stuart Benjamin. My boyfriend and I went together and spoke with Jeff. He was very helpful and told me they could repair my earring and clean both for only $20. MUCH BETTER! Not only was my earring repaired, but he got everything taken care of right before the holidays and cleaned one of my rings free of charge! When I went to pick up my earrings, I was floored! I had forgotten just how much my earrings shined! Jeff wrapped up each earring individually and I was able to pay after the job was done. While there, we also had the opportunity to browse their selection of jewelry for sale, and while we didn't purchase anything, I was definitely impressed by their selection and uniqueness of products. We will be back! (Please note that the price review is in reference to the repair made, not the price of the jewelry itself.) read more

My fiance and I were so pleased with our custom wedding ring. I had originally just gone to seek rose cut diamonds which are an antique cut. almost never used anymore. Not only did they provide the rose cut, but Stuart brought out an extra special antique diamond he had been holding on to for a long time. It wasn't so much the brilliance that caught my eye, it was the flaws and character in the diamond which stood out to me. This diamond had cleaely been through a lot. What gave the diamond even more meaning to me was the what stuart shared about its history. Apparently it was from an old Hungarian earing which predates World War 1! This caught my attention more then anything else due to the fact that my fiance is of Hungarian ancestry. I brought my fiance a week later which was when we went ahead and had a custom designed band for the diamond. What was created was probably one of the most beautifully simple rings I've ever seen. The stone itself isn't even perfectly round and sits in the band so, naturally, it's wonderful!!! We can't thank stuart and Christine enough for their professional an caring assistance with our one of a kind ring! read more

I found Stuart, the owner, to be extremely personable and knowledgeable. He has a great selection of jewelry and went above and beyond to assist me. Highly recommend! read more

Took my engagement ring ..very nervous that something bad would happen to my beautiful ring. They were very knowledgeable and sized my ring and I love it! Great job and service..my fiance ended up buying his wedding band there :) Definitely recommend them! read more

I've known Mr. Stuart Benjamin of Stuart Benjamin & Co. for some years now and he is the epitome of "FINE CUSTOMER SERVICE". Stuart and Barbara are very knowledgeable on everything in their lovly store. I bring in my watches and necklaces. In fact I broke the crown off of one of my Invicta watches and Stuart took the time to help me pack up and send it to the Invicta watch repair in Florida. All I had to do is drop off at the Post Office. Thursday, May 25th is my birthday and Stuart and Barbara assisted me in the purchase of a gold diamond necklace. Whenever I want to spoil myself, receive impeccable CUSTOMER SERVICE, and leave feeling 1)wonderful 2)money well spent 3)ME & MY BUSINESS MATTERS!!!! just to name a few, I drive down to Stuart Benjamin& Co. #lovemynecklace read more

Incredible service and very fair prices! I have had jewelry made, fixed, cleaned, and appraised here and I will keep coming back. They do great work! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional! I won't go anywhere else! read more

Jeff and the entire staff at Stuart Benjamin earn an A++ in every department. We started with them back in November 2014 as they were one of the few who carries Boccia watches. My husband found what he wanted and then saw a custom ring that he wanted to have made. We spent several weeks with Jeff working out exactly what he wanted. All done long distance... We live in the north OC area..... We picked it up and it was beautiful! As we were approaching our 25th anniversary my husband decided to update my wedding set. We worked with Jeff and he created the most amazing one of a kind custom ring that I love! We look forward for excuses to travel to San Diego and a visit to Stuart Benjamin! There is no doubt you will be happy with them! read more

Stuart Benjamin - Here is the new ring! Used my old diamonds and updated the look! Amazing!!! - Jewelry Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

A diamond fell out of my wedding band, they fixed it and tightened the others. Very quick and professional, thank you!

I visited today because of positive Yelp reviews in hopes that I'd be able to find a relatively affordable fix for a broken necklace chain. After explaining the situation the gentleman asked if I had a few minutes and took my necklace to see what he could do. Within minutes he'd fixed it for me, free of charge!!! He was so kind and took care of what I needed! Will definitely be back if I ever need anything else in the future!! Thanks again!! read more

Didn't know who to trust with my moms ring after her passing. My wife and I remembered Stuart Benjamin and went there to have the ring resized. The ring looks brand new after his professional service. He did the work right there as we waited. Thank you. read more

The only drawback is that the staff at Stuart Benjamin have made my jewelry buying process so fun and easy that I keep going back. I am always finding new pieces that I just can't live without and I really enjoy the time that I spend in their little shop. I searched Yelp for a jewelry store when I first moved to San Diego, because I wanted someone to help me design my own wedding ring. I refuse to wear something that comes from a catalog. At Stuart Benjamin, I was able to go in the store, draw pictures with Jeff Teel, and later walk away with a ring that I had designed and I will not have to see anyone else sporting a ring like mine. I was invited last year to a holiday party that the staff held right in the store. There were grab bags just for showing up, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and they took pictures of me modeling a ring worth a million dollars! There was a drawing for prizes as well, and I won a beautiful handmade jewelry box from one of the vendors featured at the store. Go in, get to know the team, and provide your address so they can send invitations to their fun, wonderfully organized events. I recommend Stuart Benjamin to anyone who wants to give their heirloom jewelry a face-lift, and to those who enjoy one-of-a-kind pieces to make themselves feel special. read more

Stuart Benjamin - Jeff Teel helped to make my imagined design come to life. I am so happy with my ring, and I stop in to visit with the staff frequently. - Jewelry Near Me - San Diego, California

I recently moved to the area and was in need of having a new appraisal of my engagement ring. I went to Jared but they wanted to charge 200.00 for one ring. I called here and was quoted 175.00 for my engagement ring and band. I was able to get in the same day and waited while it was done. Everyone was super nice and very friendly. I was so impressed I came back the following week with a ring of my mothers that had sat in a lockbox for the past ten yrs. The ring needed sized, a few new prongs, and the coloring was tarnished. when I returned not even ten days later the ring was unrecognizable. It was beautiful. They did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend them and plan on bringing another ring to them soon to clean up. read more

Stuart helped me get an engagement ring with very short notice. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process. We are so happy with the purchase! Thanks Stuart! read more

I love Stuwarts creations! I have been a loyal customer since 1984! My mom has shopped with him and his family since the 70's! Great knowledge and education as he helps you pick or make something special for the occasion. I love the store!! Pricing is fair too, something small or extravagant he can make your dream come alive!. I as my family are always going to Stuart Benjamin & Co. read more

My knuckle is too big! I've had a "temporary" ring guard on my ring for 8+ years. It finally broke. I had no idea where to go to try to get it fixed/replaced. Saw a sign-flipper on the street corner....so I went into the shopping mall and found this store. They were gracious and professional. Worth 5+ stars. I wasn't a "regular" customer but was treated so well! If I'm ever looking for a jeweler in the area, trust me, I'd head here first! Sorry I got delayed in posting this!!! read more

This was my first time visiting Stuart Benjamin, primarily due to the reviews of other Yelpers. I had a ring that I purchased, that needed resizing. I had it resized at another establishment, and they did not do a good job. It had a divot, and was catching on clothing. So, I brought my ring in, and they told me they could fix it in a week. I left it with them, and when they called me back earlier, I was not only shocked, but very pleased. I got the ring, and it looked beautiful. They also charged less than the one that did the shoddy work. I got great customer service, great workmanship, a good price, and a jewelry appraisal. The owner and staff were very polite, and friendly. I would gladly refer Stuart Benjamin Jewelery to all of my friends and family. Alicia C. read more

I can't say enough about this place. I was lucky enough to be helped out by Stu himself but all of his staff are knowledgeable and sociable. I needed a few watches to be repaired. I don't trust just anyone to replace a battery in my watches let alone do a full repair. The price he gave me was more than competitive. Let's be honest, even though price is important trust is even more so. If you're looking for any type of new jewelry or need a repair done give Stu and his team a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

I highly recommend Steward and his team for all your jewelry needs! They are so wonderful to work with and each time I see them I leave with a smile on my face. After years of wonderful service, I still am amazing by their professionalism, their great selection and their eagerness to help with making your vision a reality. Highly recommended! ! read more

I was so impressed with the way I was treated when I brought my costume piece of jewelry in for repair, I needed a mounting and stone replace on a ring. At first when I walked in I was a bit embarrassed to tell then why I was there, their displays are just so gorgeous and here I was coming in with a piece of jewelry that meant a lot to me but still was costume. I got the repair made and it was right then, the cost was very reasonable, and why my ring was being repaired, I got a chance to dream. Some of their pieces are truly breath-taking, no cookie cutter designs. When I win the lottery I will be back. Thank you for your professional & gracious attitude --- I will be coming back. read more

Fabulous jewelry designers, they turned my "dream ring" into a reality! More gorgeous than I imagined. Plus they were so gracious with all their customer service. I highly recommend them!!! read more

Let's just say, I wish I knew about Stuart Benjamin from the get-go! The moment I stepped in the door, I instantly felt welcomed into a family-like environment. I didn't feel any pressure whatsoever, in purchasing from them. I worked with Jeff, Christine & occasionally Stuart and all were very friendly and knowledgable. On multiple occasions, they took the time to explore many different diamonds, bands & stem combinations, and even stayed open past store hours. They took the time to listen to what exactly what I wanted in a ring & recommend many many great options, and tailored the ring to exactly how I wanted it to look. They were able to create a masterpiece of what I was looking for and now, we will be able to enjoy it for many many years to come. Thank you guys! If I could do the ring-shopping all over again, hands down I would go straight to Stuart Benjamin & Co and look no further. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind ring high in quality, this is the place to find it. I definitely will be a long term customer for many many years! Thank you guys again for all of your help, time, dedication & kindness! Did I mention that the ring I purchased is absolutely amazing? I couldn't be any happier. See you guys soon! read more

Got my wedding band custom designed here. I had gotten my engagement ring somewhere else, but they managed to make it fit beautifully, even though it's an unusual design. Stuart was so patient in helping us design a ring. Jeff, who does the renders, in an artist and an engineer. Can't stop staring at my new sparkle read more

Excellent service and fast reasonable repairs, love to support the local family owned businesses too. Will return again in future! Thank you again. read more

Great place with the best customer service. I came here for an engagement ring after having a horrible experience with another jeweler in San Diego and Stuart and his team did a great job for me. They took their time to explain everything you need to know about shopping for a diamond and compared different rings so I could make the best decision and walk away feeling confident. I would highly recommend them when shopping for jewelry. read more

I recently purchased an engagement ring, and I would highly recommend this jewelry store to the novice engagement ring buyer. I walked in uneducated the first day and walked out feeling like an expert when I was done. Jeff Teel was the jeweler I worked with who earned my trust quickly. Jeff was genuine and patient and did an incredible job explaining the process of selecting a diamond and setting. There was absolutely no pressure, no upselling, and no hidden surprises. The process took me about 4 or 5 visits, and each visit was a pleasant experience. Most importantly, the ring is phenomenal. read more

I found this gem of a business purely by accident. We wanted to have some loose pearls made into earrings and a necklace for our daughter, and our usual jewelry store was closed. Not wanting to waste the trip, I yelped nearby jewelry design and called Stuart Benjamin. After speaking to Jeff Teel on the phone, we decided to stop by. Jeff was wonderfully professional, had great suggestions, offered us a 10% discount when I asked about the Yelp coupon which didn't apply to such a small purchase, and overall did a great job that was done when promised. To top it off, he didn't charge me for the gold earring backs because, he said, the silicone ones I wanted didn't work. They have beautiful jewelry, and I will definitely be back. read more

Stumbled upon Stuart Benjamin on our way to Lakeshore Learning and decided to walk in and see if they'd clean my wedding set and give me a quote to get them re-plated (rhodium). They went above and beyond. Not only were they friendly, professional, and reasonably priced but they took the time to show my boys some of their favorite pieces and answered their questions about the different gems and metals, and started a wish list for my husband for future trips My ring was ready in less than 48 hours and looks amazing! read more

I love my jeweler, Stuart. I moved to CA 14 years ago and his store was across street from my office so I gave him a try on a fix on my wedding ring. I have never gone anywhere else. He has helped me do a new partial redesign on my wedding ring, replaced a stolen custom necklace that was insured and just now fixed a pair of my earrings. No charge on the quick fix! He is the kind of business owner that I want to support - he is nice, friendly, super knowledgeable and cares about his customers. Go to Stuart!!! read more

Jeff is really professional and did an amazing job with my fiance and my ring. Helping us getting them engraved... thanks Jeff..

They were so great! Friendly, kind, and professional. Made my appraisal a breeze. Even faxed it for me. These people deserve your business

Such nice, genuine service! I brought in a ring to be dipped in white gold. It came out so beautiful! And again, nicest service! Thank you :-) read more
