I had a very valuable pearl necklace from my grandmother that was gifted to my mom, and the pearl strand broke. Paul examined the necklace and quickly assessed that it will need to be restrung and that the clasp is not damaged. After his assessment and me communicating how important it was to get it done the same-day due to another jeweler failing to compete the repair after two months of waiting, he shared that he can do it for us the same day and even waived the same-day fee due to the urgency of our request and the negative experience we had previously. I think his wife was at the cashier and she typed us a receipt. She was super sweet. I also liked that the front door is locked and you have to ring the doorbell to be buzzed in - made me feel safe to be inside. We left the jewelry shop and within an hour, Paul called to tell us it was ready. The pearl necklace looked brand new. Paul did an excellent job! We picked up the necklace, paid for it, and surprised our mom. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and professional work!

Please take your business somewhere else. My daughter and I…read morewere looking for a nice birthday gift for my wife. We saw the good reviews so we thought we had a chance to find something nice here, nope! We were enjoying our shopping during this holiday and the older gentlemen behind the counter was super rude to us. When we asked to see this one of his nice rings he sighed like it was such a hassle. He mumbled something so when I asked him to repeat what he said he looked me directly in the eye and yelled in my face "Are you done with this!?", which alarmed both of us. I get it, you had the Sunday NFL football games blasting away. Keep watching your football and don't mind us bothering you anymore buddy. This was the poorest customer service ever at the Alameda Southshore mall and we have lived here for over 20 years. Sad, and not recommended!

A yelp search resulted in this business. Over 20 years ago, when my boss retired from the labor force, he gave me a 14K gold bracelet, thanking me for being his secretary. Well, the link came off and I was trying to connect it to the bracelet, only to have it fall out of my hands onto the carpet. (Good luck in trying to find that link.) No worry. The Gold Spot Jewelers to the rescue. I stopped in this afternoon to take care of business (bizness). The elderly gentleman was indeed a tremendous help. He was skillful and a professional in jewelry repair. OG got it going on - mad skills and all. The "brutha" is awesome in my book. (Right on, my man) According to him, he has been at this location for about 15 years. Need jewelry repair? Drop on by The Gold Spot Jewelers. The owner will take care of ya with a smile.

I should have posted this a long time ago and I'm sorry for not doing it Ron!…read more This is a trustworthy place to bring collections big or small. My dad passed back in 2018 and left us with a huge collection. Ron went out of his way to meet us with staff on a Saturday afternoon. He went through every book and box of stamps my dad left us. He was honest and to the point about value and not over stating anything. He was very kind to my 85 year old mom who just passed also. He was patient and said give him 6 months to a year to sell off everything. He always sent updates to us along the way and sure enough before a year was over he sold the entire collection. He got us a very fair price and a detailed report of everything he sold. It was a lot of work on his part and deserves everything he get's for the work he puts in. Ron is a rare person today who loves what he does and has the knowledge and experience to deliver. Anyone who has a massive collection to sell should look no further than Ron and The United States Stamp Company. Again Thanks Ron for what you did for our family!!

I'd…read morebeen to a few of those "we buy gold places" and they turned out to be liars and thieves - they tell you stuff like "that isn't 14 k gold, it's 9 k" and Simon proved them wrong! I trusted him completely and got a very fair price for my gold. Since then he opened this location and I've still very pleased. I've had pearls restrung. I took a friend there for a custom sterling silver pendant she wanted for a friend. I've had jewelry cleaned and prongs tightened. I'm about to go there to have a watch cleaned and a new strap put on. I trust Simon and his wonderful staff, in particular the charming brunette who works in front. Your jewelry and pocketbook are safe here.

My bf and I…read morehave no knowledge of trying to pick out an engagement ring and what to look for, so we decided to book an appointment with Hung Phat. I reached out to them via dm to place an appointment, but you can also do it yourself on their website. I asked whether we would need to commit to anything during the appointment and they said no. This made me feel a bit at ease, as we were just planning to go in to explore our options and become educated in picking out engagement rings. They responded very quickly to my dm and helped me make an appointment, answered any questions I had, and added me to a text chat where I could send in some ring inspos and what styles I was looking for. We came a bit early, but they were able to accommodate us. We were guided to a table reserved especially for us and were offered champagne or sparkling juices/water and some cookies as snacks. Our jeweler, Lyn, was very easy to talk to and she made us feel very comfortable during the entire appointment. We told her that we didn't have much knowledge about picking out a ring and what to look for, but she was able to help us through the entire process and guide us through all of those steps. We had a ring design in mind already and we showed her the photo and she was able to show me the similar setting, diamond shape, and carat size, against my finger. We tried on different band widths to see which one I liked better, went over the 4 C's (color, clarity, cut, and carat weight), and explained to us what they meant. She showed us different diamonds in different carat sizes and the differences in clarity grade between them. My bf and I really learned a lot during our consultation and are very glad we booked an in person consultation with Hung Phat. I'd like to thank Lyn and Val for providing us with excellent customer care and helping us in our ring journey.

Immediately, a staff member greeted me and introduced me to a group of people, encouraging me to exchange information with them. I was a bit too shy to join in that night, but I really appreciated the effort. You gotta love a place that goes that far to make a "noob" feel included. During a more recent visit without all the tables of people, it's still a cozy store with a warm and inviting environment. Upon walking in, I could tell the staff genuinely enjoyed being there. As I was browsing, a staff member told me about their puzzle trade. For a few bucks, you can trade the old puzzles you own with a selection of their used puzzles.

I'll definitely be returning.
