Good as new. Thank to the staff at Zee Continental
Pepper S.

Last month I brought my Gold chain it had a problem with the locking mechanism and they straight fixed it in no time, no charge. The people who work and operate this store are rare, we are missing establishments in San Francisco like this, they are personable and they understand the value of customer service. I brought the same chain a week ago and they only took a week for them to repair it and I should be paying them for what they charged me. I love this place and not to mention they have a lot of nice jewelry here definitely worth checking out.

14k Gold Plating Restoration 
 (over Sterling Silver)
R.J. S.

I've been a Zee Continental customer for several years. I've trusted this jeweler to work on my most treasured pieces of jewelry, and I've never been disappointed. They've fixed the clasps on my gold and silver chains, and recently restored the gold plating on some valuable diamond and moissanite rings. I've attached a photo of the 14k gold plating Zee Continental performed on a large men's ring. The gold color appears completely accurate, with superb luster and shine (everyone assumes it's solid 14k gold). Zee Continental also offers some other unique gold plating options, like antique 18k gold, and rare 18k green gold. It also feels good, supporting a longtime local San Francisco small business. I've found their prices to be fair, and their work to be flawless. I will continue bringing my heirloom jewelry to Zee Continental, and I would highly recommend this local business to my friends and neighbors.

Laser soldering...can't even tell where it was broken!
Valeria R.

I've been going to Zee Continental off and on over the past couple of decades, dating back to when they were across the street. However, other than a recent impulse visit during which I bought a pair of lovely Peruvian silver earrings, it had been quite a few years since I'd been in. Then...I broke one of my favorite earrings. Not the ones I had purchased there...these are Clara Beau danglies with smoky-gray Swarovski crystals set in rustic metal. The earring broke in a very delicate spot so I wasn't sure how it could be fixed without looking messy or obvious. But I'm so enamored of these earrings that it was worth it to me to take the chance. I brought them in to Zee and they told me I'd need a laser soldering at $31. I put both earbobs in their capable hands and left, worried but hoping for the best. Well, I needn't have worried. Look at the pic I uploaded. One of these earrings broke where the little loop meets the rhinestone. Can you even tell which one it was? I can't! Bonus 1: The earring was ready within days...must sooner than their 2-week estimate. Bonus 2: When I asked whether I should have the other one reinforced, rather than jump at the chance to take my money they told me to just wait it out and see if it's even necessary. Bonus 3: When I asked them about getting a couple of pairs of silver earrings dipped into their cleaning solution then polished, they told me to just bring them in and it would be free of charge. I hope to not break any more jewelry, but if I do I know where to go!

See all

I was super worried about losing it because it was so loose and they measured my finger and adjusted my ring within hours!! I dropped the ring off at 1.30pm and had it back by 5pm the same day and now it fits like a glove. Service was super friendly and quick and they sent me a quote via text before doing the work! The icing on the cake was they cleaned the ring too so not only does it fit perfectly now it's also as sparkly as it was the day I got it. Really really happy and will definitely go to them in the future. Thank you!

I have only great things to say about RP Diamonds & Gold Imports, and its incredibly knowledgeable,…read moretalented, thoughtful and kind team of people. I first met with Roger for an engraving task: I had just moved to the neighborhood in 2012 and needed a pendant engraved, with a bit of a deadline, too, as it was a gift. Walking to the store I could tell that my request was going to be quite modest compared to the stunning pieces on display, but Roger was not only very helpful and kind, he listened to my request, was able to do the engraving quickly, and I honestly don't remember paying for it. I was so touched by the generosity, kindness and exceptional service, and instructed my husband that if he ever wanted to buy me anything, this was the place! Luckily he listened, and I still treasure the pieces he got me from RP Diamonds & Gold Imports over the years. In the years that followed, RP Diamonds & Gold Imports has helped me with several custom jewelry pieces: Kham was my point person for those projects, and created beautiful, unique pieces that exceeded in design, execution and precision the ideas that I had described. I have a cast pendant that he made based on a sketch I prepared, a delicate solitaire diamond pendant as well as two diamond rings that he made from stud earrings I no longer used, and countless repair and modification projects that I requested. The pricing has always been clearly discussed ahead of time and reasonable, and each of the projects have been thoughtfully approached and executed to perfection. I am so thankful to have found Roger & team all those years ago, and sincerely recommend!

I am a long-time customer of Roger's at RP Diamonds. I can't say enough about every aspect of his…read morebusiness. As another customer said, their quality, craftsmanship and customer service are exceptional. Roger has designed several items for me and each piece was beautifully crafted. Everything I've purchased is of the highest quality. His team is friendly, accommodating and professional, including his son, Ian, who is now working alongside his father. As if that weren't enough, you will not find fairer pricing anywhere in the Bay Area. I cannot recommend this business highly enough.
