AVOID THIS BUSINESS, ESPECIALLY FOR ANY SERVICE. As a first time customer with this establishment,…read moremy experience was unfortunately terrible and I'm writing this as a courteous warning to others who may look to do business here. Upon searching for local establishments and seeing positive reviews and praise for customer service, I wanted to give them a chance. I brought in two watches that needed simple battery replacements, one for my wife and one of my own. Upon bringing the watches in, the lady who assisted me seemed friendly enough. I was informed that they no longer do battery replacements in house and they would need to be sent out. Bit of a surprise but ok, I wasn't in a terrible hurry to get them back and was told it'd be a couple of weeks. I received a call within the allotted time telling me they had come in and were ready to be picked up. I go to the store the very next day to retrieve them, being helped by the same person who took them in originally. My wife's watch was running perfectly fine. Mine however I noticed when handed to me was not running at all. I pointed this out and the lady called over another associate who she claimed was the one responsible for quality checks when items came back in from service. This second lady informed me that it had been running the day before when it was checked in but "sometimes they get sent back with a dead battery" and they would need to send it back. She then took it to their back room (with window facing the showroom so everything is visible where she attempted to open the watch but soon returned saying it was more complicated of a movement than she felt comfortable working with so they would send it back to the repair vendor. Red flags, but I want it fixed. Same drill as previous, they will let me know when it's ready within another couple of weeks. About a week and a half later I get a call that my watch has come back in, but am told it is not working and came back with a note that it needs to be sent in to the manufacturer. After naturally asking some questions so I fully understand what exactly was the issue, the girl on the phone became very easily flustered and VERY defensive. Not the customer service I was expecting. I wasn't being disrespectful in any form, just asking questions trying to understand what situation I was now in with a broken watch that was working perfectly fine when I took it in. I go in a few days later to pick up my watch and ask to speak with a manager so I can voice my concerns and displeasure. I relayed the timeline of events to the manager I spoke with, who retrieved and showed me my watch as it was returned with nothing but a sticky note that said to send it in to the manufacturer. No detail or explanation as to what was now wrong. Upon inspection, the crown no longer worked when trying to set the time and no movement of the hands. I was apologized to by the manager and was told that they would look further into it with their repair vendor to try and find out more info so I'd at least have something to go to the manufacturer with. I was also informed at this time that I would almost certainly be contacted by the owner, Mr. Borrego to discuss the issues with me. It has now been a full two weeks with no contact, so out of sight out of mind. I will never personally step foot into this establishment again and will tell everyone I know to avoid dealing with them as well. It's a shame because it is a nice store, but this type of service is unacceptable. I would warn anyone reading this to never entrust these people with any of your personal or sentimental valuables. Zero accountability and broken trust with the first encounter for a potential long term customer...I'll take my business elsewhere.

Denise and Cheryl walked me through the customization process once it was determined that the pre made pieces weren't for me. Luckily, when we made the purchase of our custom engagement ring we were able to accumulate reward points to use for a future purchase. At that point, I thought I just wanted my engagement ring. It wasn't until 3 months before my wedding that I wanted to add the custom band thus creating my wedding set. After another brilliant consultation we were able to create a set that truly nailed every expectation and made my dream ring a reality. The amount of patience that these ladies had with me all the way through the completion of the wedding band (May 2019) was a true testament to their expertise and dedication to getting the customer exactly what they are trying to achieve. The repair shop is great at making my ring look like new and restoring it to its natural shine and brilliance. Overall I am highly satisfied with every aspect of this store and when time comes for additional pieces, this is the shop and the people I will be trusting my business to.

My mother is 82 and has vascular dementia. Her left hand swelled up like a balloon 3 days ago and her wedding ring was causing the finger to swell twice its size! Dementia patients are sensitive to situations more so than others. Finally, she agreed to let us cut the ring off her finger. Time is of the essence as the mind can change immediately. In less then 20 minutes, Mr. Peñaloza was at our door and the ring was off in just a few minutes with no pain, no fuss. He was calm, kind and my mother had no issues. Of course, now she's mad at me, but at least she can keep her finger!!! I will most certainly be taking the ring to him after COVID has died down for repair.

The inside was set up nice. It was very clean and well organized will all their stones, candles, statues and more. I did like that they had little slips of paper of what the stone type is and what you can use them for (protection from negative energy/anxiety for example). Also if you didnt just want a stone, you can get bracelets, key chains and other stuff with the same stone. The ladies we spoke with were very nice and informative. We had quite a few questions and they were patient and explained what certain stones and scents can help with. Appreciated that they didn't judge us for not knowing certain things and were happy to help. They even were nice enough to hold our food we were carrying around. I did end up buying a nice scented candle with a few stones. My friend bought this nice scented spray (lavender scented to help with relaxing) and bracelets. Overall it was a pleasant experience and would recommend for folks to come stop by. Be aware depending what you want it can be pricy but the price seems common with other few shops I've been to.
