Recently I went in to this location with a request that I wasn't sure would be possible. I had been…read morepondering the idea of getting my wife a nice 30th anniversary ring. The place I was looking at couldn't deliver in my timeline because I put it off too long. I walked in to Rons Jewelers on 980 Western Ave to discuss my idea of the custom ring I wanted before we left for our anniversary vacation. Ashley looked at the picture of the ring I had been looking at and said yeah we can do that. Then I said can you do it on my very short timeline? Again Ashley said yes we can do that! I went home right away to get my wife's other rings because I needed to get the right size. I got back in about half and hour and we sat down looked at the setting I wanted and they got everything started. Two days later they had stones for me to pick from with excellent expert advice from both on the choice of the stones for what I was looking for. Once that was done I had the ring in my hands a day and a half later. They literally put other work aside to help get the perfect custom anniversary ring made for me to present to my wife. I can't say enough about the professionalism and dedication to customer service. I'll definitely be taking more work to Marc and Ashley in the future and I suggest you do too if you want to purchase or get custom orders made.

My husband decided to surprise our newborn with a "custom" bracelet that contains an azabache stone…read moreand an evil eye bead. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be a part of the consulting process, which happened over the phone, but he was quoted $140 for what we assumed was going to be a bracelet with material and labor to justify the final cost. To our surprise, we were presented with a red string bracelet that looked awfully similar to bracelets we saw online for no more than $14, and one my newborn already has from a credible crystal shop. We asked what materials in the bracelet constituted the $140 price tag and their defense was to immediately discredit the other shop by saying the azabache stone could be fake. If that is the case and their so-called authentic stone is worth $20, does that mean the red string and evil eye bead is worth $120? Keep in mind this bracelet is for a newborn, so there's only 4-5" of material used. I understand Martha and co have a business to run, but they really took advantage of us even after we were trying to be reasonable and voice our concerns directly to them at the time of pick-up. Martha did not seem remorseful and avoided to present any solutions to us. Pictures posted--It honestly looks like they took an Amazon.com bracelet, unassembled the string to add a stone or two, and attempted to re-assemble by burning the ends in an uneven matter (which looks questionable and dangerous for a newborn to wear). It's complete shoddy work from a business that's been surviving this long. Perhaps they provide better results on other services, but they had the opportunity to gain the trust and business from our family and failed.

The 15-year-old ring was showing a lot of wear and tear, with three missing stones. After inspecting the ring, Sam the owner was confident he could restore it to its original condition and offered a very reasonable estimate. The ring was ready in 6 days. When I came in to pick it up, Sam had an almost excited look on his face as he prepared me for the big reveal. You could tell how proud he was with the final product. As he took the ring out of the bag, my face lit up - I could not believe how beautiful it was. It genuinely looked every bit as good as the day I had bought it. The missing stones were replaced, all the settings were inspected and reinforced, and the gold and diamonds were cleaned and polished. I give my strongest endorsement to Modern Jewelers. Small business, family owned, and a real credit to the community they serve.

Anytime I have purchased jewelry, needed a repair, a cleaning, or advice about a piece of jewelry, they have taken care of it with excellence. Their repairs are solid, their work is dependable, and my jewelry always comes back shining like new. I bring my pieces in once a year, and they keep everything looking sharp. They explain what needs to be done, why it matters, and what it will cost, without pressure and without upselling. You walk out knowing you made a smart decision. They have earned my business for three decades, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants honest service and great value.

My name is Bruce Owen, and I own a jewelry design business in Des Moines, Iowa. We recently had an…read moreissue with the sizing of a client's ring, and with their wedding quickly approaching, we were in a bit of a panic trying to find a jeweler who could handle the work properly and on short notice in their area. Claydon Jewelers stepped up and helped my client out with flying colors. They were professional, accommodating, and, most importantly, took great care of the ring and the customer. As a jeweler with 45 years of experience, I truly appreciate the integrity and craftsmanship of jewelers who remain committed to their art and take pride in doing things the right way. I HIGHLY recommend Claydon Jewelers to anyone in the Redondo Beach CA area who truly cares about the quality, craftsmanship, and care that goes into the jewelry they own or purchase. It was a pleasure to work with them, and I'm grateful they were there when we needed them.

I brought my wedding band in for a repair after one diamond fell out (which I was fortunate enough…read moreto find). I was quoted a little over $200 for the diamond replacement and a very minor resize of ¼ size down. When I went to pick up the ring, I was informed--after the work was already completed--that additional prongs had been replaced on both sides of the ring and that I now owed an extra $240. I was never contacted, informed, or asked for approval before this additional work was done. The explanation given was that some of the prong work was necessary due to resizing. However, after waiting over 40 minutes at pickup because the ring was "in billing," I was then told the resize had actually been forgotten entirely and had to be done on the spot. This made the justification for the unapproved prong work even more concerning. After calling twice and initially being brushed off by sales associates, I finally spoke with the owner, who acknowledged that I had not consented to the extra work and agreed to waive the additional charge. While I appreciate the owner ultimately correcting the billing, the situation itself should never have occurred. Jewelry--especially a wedding band--is deeply personal. Any additional work, design changes, or charges should never be performed without explicit customer approval. Between the unapproved services, forgotten resize, and billing delay, the experience felt disorganized and stressful. I would urge future customers to proceed with caution, insist on written estimates, and require approval before any additional work is done.
