my sad ring with no opal anymore

WE had a great experience. Got a decent deal on an opal, but I guess you get what you pay for. First day I wore it, the opal fell out. I'm so sad that I lost my $100 USD. I did send the store an email. We'll see if they respond.

Good prices and a crap ton of stuff!!! I've never seen so many cases, displays and shades of opal. Opal in silver, opal in gold, 1 carat to 43 carats... something for every price- expect to haggle!! - and work then hard! They are going to pressure you to buy, return the favor and you'll both be happy. Got an amazing deal on a few pieces- dirt cheap!! The only reason I put 4 stars and not 5 was because of the pressured sell... I'm a shopper, it wasn't necessary- but the free margarita was nice

Ola Francisco Breto. It's Pato Blanco Gringo ( American from Texas). I want to thank you for helping us find the Opal ring last week for my wife. We had been there the year before and bought a Fire Opal necklace. Wherever we go it gets noticed. When we Walked in the store we had not met there year before and another salesperson helped us. You looked at me and said you bought that here. I could have said this is my first time in Vallarta knowing the Pitch. I knew you recognized the necklace the way you said it. I could have added serious comic relief. When we left my wife was in Heaven. Anyway thank you Amigo for getting us the one of a kind matching opal ring for the one of a kind necklace. You provided a VERY VERY FAIR deal. We look forward to seeing you seeing you next year. The images are close to what the ring and necklace look like. The general public can see examples posted elsewhere. My endorsement is when in Vallarta GO TO THE OPAL MINE !!!! Regards Pato Blanco Gringo

I've been here twice (both times on cruises) and while I've never bought anything here, I do love this store. The salesmen (I've never seen any women) are always extremely helpful when they see me coming. Inside it looks like a real mine with paintings on the walls of miners digging and gems resting inside of mine carts. It even feels like you're inside of a mine with low ceilings and dark lighting. If you can't find a Mexican fire opal here, it probably doesn't exist. My mom has bought several in a variety of settings and has been pleased with her purchases and prices.

If you're in Puerto Vallarta and appreciate craftsmanship, heritage, and genuinely kind service,…read moreyou have to visit Alberto's Jewelry. My wife and I stopped in while wandering town and had the pleasure of meeting Edson, the third-generation jeweler in the family. He shared the story of how his grandfather, Alberto, founded the business many years ago, how his father carried it forward, and how he and his brother Emersson now proudly run it. There's something special about buying from a family that truly lives its craft. Edson also told us about their second shop a couple of streets away, so of course we wandered over. That's where I spotted a few pieces that really caught my eye. We meant to circle back... but as vacation goes, we ended up on the other side of town and ran out of time. No problem at all. I messaged them on Instagram, and Emersson immediately replied saying he'd be happy to bring the necklace to where we were staying. That level of service alone deserves applause. He showed up right as we were having dinner, discreetly stepped aside with me, pulled out his credit card machine, and within minutes we had finalized everything. Seamless. Professional. Incredibly accommodating. I should mention too, the pieces are very fairly priced for quality silver and original designs. I walked back to our table and put on my new necklace right there. It's a beautiful silver piece, originally designed by grandfather Alberto himself. Knowing the history behind it makes it even more meaningful. We'll absolutely be doing more business with them, and Emersson let us know they're happy to ship to our home in the LA area. Old-world craftsmanship with modern customer service. Love Alberto's. 5 stars!

If you are in Puerto Vallarta be sure and visit their two shops. Edison and Emerson will take good…read morecare of you. Beautiful custom made jewelry. Nothing like family owned business with two shops within walking distance. My first stop when there.

I really loved this jeweler when I was in Mexico. They don't try to over charge you like most…read morevendors do, even if you aren't fluent in Spanish. I came in just to browse while my husband was at the circle bar outside. They had so much beautiful jewelry. They sell by the weight of the silver. I bought a lot of earrings for my family members and a pair of opal ones for myself. I loved a bracelet they had there, too. But I couldn't afford it. Since I had bought so much, he ended up giving it to me for free. If you're in the area, definitely stop here! They even give you free beer while you browse!

I took a Citi tour n they took me to a jewelry store called Joyeria Aviles, it was a huge store but…read morenot listed inon Yelp, I'm too busy to add them as a new business but I chose to add this jewelry store because of exceptional customer service. I bought a fire opal n silver necklace w matching earrings, they started at $2,000 I didn't want to spend that kind of money as I already have too much jewelry of all types, the dude was following me for so long n finally offered me an offer I could not refuse, he threw in a beautiful multicolor bracelet n lowered the price to $790. The following day, I tried to wear my pink necklace, it fell apart because 1 link was not welded properly, I called Aviles, they were closed Sunday n open just 1/2 a day Monday. needless to say I was very upset as we were going home Tuesday morning. I love the bracelet n wanted a matching multicolor necklace, I went into this Moon n Sun store located inside the flea market, Jorge, the owner was so friendly but not too overbearing, he offered to fix my pink necklace for free, on top of that he offered to remove 2 links also for free so my bracelet would fit perfectly, provided I of course buy the multicolor necklace for an unbeatable price of $350. Jorge was the nicest n most courteous person, you know you won't get ripped off!! The following day I returned to pick up the repaired jewels, I met his son who owned the jewel store a few doors down, he offered to sell me a matching multicolor earrings for $45, I regretted not buying it then, later I bought a fake silver w real opal on the malecon for $10. So anybody wanting to buy beautiful opal jewels, come here, this jeweler designed unique jewels n you don't have to haggle too much. I was so grateful I found him as it would be impossible to get the necklace repaired back home. If I come back to puerto Vallarta next year, I'll definitely come back for more. A solid 5 stars!!!
