    John, the owner, was a man of smiles. He was comfortable to speak with and gave me a wonderful deal on my additional piyao dragon and ball on my current bracelet. He also appraised my current dragon and I found out I overpaid 30 dollars for it. Hahaha! I will definitely return to have a customized steel ring copied as a 24 k gold version. May their business keep flourishing in 2022. No reviews this year yet? Here you go brotha. Hahaha!

    This is a family owned business. Excellent service from the young male. I wondered why he looked sad when I committed with the purchase of a 24k gold chain link. I loved the chain truly. I am in the medical field so I clean my daily items every now and then. I used a combination of chemicals to clean and disinfect my chain after my chain dried up.... Six of the many links on the chain faded from a beautiful yellow gold to a gray discoloration. Inspect every single bit of anything your purchasing. Buyer beware.

    The only jeweler you can trust. I have been going to The Goldsmith for over 10 years now - it started as a recommendation from a family member who was gifted a ring created by Jon. I have not gone to another jeweler since. Thank you for all of the beautiful pieces!

    Jon engraved my stethoscope for me and it came out perfectly! Fast service, I went back after 35 mins and it was all ready for me. Cost about $20 which I think is a steal for laser engraving. Would go back again for any engraving needs. Only thing I'd say is and I'm not sure it's in their control but to change the hours for Friday since both google and Yelp said open at 11, but they didn't open closer to 11:45 instead.

    So glad I found this place! I wanted a watch engraved and The Goldsmith did not disappoint. Not only did I get a good deal, but the product was just to my liking, and the staff was helpful and courteous. Although street parking can be a little hectic in Chinatown, do not let that deter you from checking it out. There is an underground parking structure (Broadway entrance) and The Goldsmith will validate your parking. Thanks again to Jon for helping me personalize my gift!

    They have a variety of amazing jewelry and really great customer service. Even when they didn't have what i was looking for they recommended a place for me. Other shops in the area didn't even acknowledge me when I walked in.

    I bought my uncle a nice flashlight for Xmas that I wanted to have engraved with my uncle's last name and nickname. I couldn't find anyone to engrave the flashlight but on Xmas eve found The Goldsmith on Yelp. The Goldsmith was able to engrave the flashlight for me that same day for a flat fee of $15. I was impressed with the quality of their work. The engraving was flawless. I am thankful to The Goldsmith for making my uncle's Xmas present extra special.

    Jon custom made my engagement ring based on a picture I sent, it came out beautifully. His price is also very reasonable. Highly recommend

    Excellent work, excellent price. Quick turn around time for a custom pendant, and chain with diamond barrel lock. Highly recommend Jon and his family. Thank you!

    Terrible experience with this shop. They engraved my medal, but the engraving was clearly crooked…read more My husband picked it up and didn't notice until he got home to show me, but as a creative director and graphic designer by trade, I could easily tell. I mocked it up in the attached photo (the red lines are all parallel to each other and shown in comparison to the date on the medal). When I called to let the shop know, the man who did the engraving immediately denied that it was crooked without even seeing it. I explained that it was, but he continued to rudely and defensively insist otherwise. His tone was combative and dismissive, and at one point he even said, "Well, what do you want me to do about it??" To make matters worse, he ended the call by saying, "Well, have your husband come back for his $30 then. All this for just $30," in a condescending and dismissive tone, as if the issue wasn't worth his time or care. My husband did end up going back to the shop after my call, and he said that the man and his partner were both doubling down and insisting that the engraving was straight. They even asked two other people waiting in the shop what they thought, and both confirmed that the engraving was indeed crooked! We did get our money back, but in the end, they continued to disagree with my husband, never admitted the engraving was off, and never apologized -- even after others confirmed the crooked work too. Our issue is more with the fact that they were completely unprofessional and unwilling to take any accountability, which is especially disappointing given that this was an irreplaceable, once-in-a-lifetime medal. I would never trust this shop with anything meaningful or sentimental. If you have anything precious or irreplaceable that you need engraved, do not take it here. I was fooled by all the good reviews, and while I can't go back in time to fix it, I'm hoping this review spares someone else the same headache and regret.

    Amazing fast service One hour $10…read more No parking but that's all of dtla Highly recommend

    Amazing service! Even better than LOLA!…read more This is a small family owned business. Outside, the business looks like a 15anera store but it is not. Once you get close, there is a neighboring beauty salon. Laser Sharp has their own office space next door. (It is the white door with laser cut design) The SERVICE IS AMAZING! This business can do sooooo much! Teresa and Al's email response is quick and friendly. They are really good at explaining what art files they need from you. The price is great too. You can compare, but as a graphic design student, I can tell you that Laser Sharp has industry quality!

    You need a great engraving job done fast and accurately?!?! Go here FIRST!!!! Highly, highly,…read morehighly recommend! Teresa was responsive to my yelp request for an engraving job quote, was able to work on acrylic, and gave a reasonable price and FAST same day turn around. She made time for my small, but meaningful engraving job for my team at work, helped me pick out fonts that enhanced the job, and I can't wait to give there engraved performance awards to my staff! The shop is not far from downtown LA (DTLA) where I work (15-20 min drive) so that I could drop off the job at lunch. There was plenty of street parking and the shop is right in a small building next to a beauty shop and close to the 76 station on the corner. What's great about this place is also the atmosphere... you walk into the shop and see displays of creative, artistic wood cutting, paper cutting, laser cutting jobs ranging from complex 3-D models to beautifully adorned signs. Immediately you get the sense they can do anything and the only limit is your imagination! The shop is clean, smells inviting, and is like stepping into a design dream world just off this busy street. The photos of Teresa's other passion - landscape design - adorn the walls. Gorgeous. Plus, she was pleasant, helpful and finished my job early! At the end of the day, she and her husband and co-owner Al (the architect) were there waiting for me. They had my job beautifully displayed for my inspection, and I fell in love. Teresa and Al are the type of business owners you want to work with over and over. Their warmth and genuine pride in their work exudes from their heart. You feel like someone in your family just went the extra step to make sure you are pleased with your requested work, job or project and on time! I know I'm not alone. They were on their way to see a customer's building at CSULA because of the sense of connection created from the model they designed for the customer in the process. I can't say enough good things about this company. I called or wrote back and forth with at least 5 other businesses in the area before choosing them just based on their customer service in our interactions. I'm so happy I did. When I give my hard working staff their 2016 performance awards on Monday, I'm going to feel like Teresa and Al are there with me to say thank you for a job well done. Again--- Highly, highly, highly recommend!
