Today I went to Beadazzled on Solano Avenue for the first time. I asked the owner a question about…read morea necklace I want to repair, and she kindly advised me what to buy, and saved me money in the process - I had intended to buy some bigger white seed beads, but she helped me find a needle and attached thread that would go through the little ones I had, so I didn't have to buy new beads - just the handy needle and thread. It's going to be easy stringing the tiny beads with that needle! The store has a gorgeous selection of beads, more complete than any selection I have seen anywhere. There's also some jewelry you can buy, and I found a beautiful abalone pendant that I could not resist. See my pictures for details! This is a fabulous store for anyone interested in beading and beautiful jewelry. And the prices are great! They're not trying to make a killing off of your fun hobby! Hooray!

I brought my pearl necklace to be restrung since the clasp broke. When I picked it up, it didn't…read morefit around my neck anymore. In response, the woman then pulled and stretched it to fit like a choker, which is way smaller than before. It made the spacing between the pearls wide, uneven, and frayed the threads. One side of the necklace is quite shorter now too. Make of this what you will but I would never trust them again. Count your pearls and take photos of them holding your stuff if you dare to leave it.

What a wonderful jeweler to deal with! My son and his…read moregirlfriend were in the beginning stages of looking at rings. We had lunch in Fremont and popped into Son of a jeweler. When we walked in the ladies were so warm and welcoming it felt like going back in time. They were not high-pressure sales, made us immediately feel comfortable, and answered all of our questions with years of experience. Max and Kim shopped several other jewelers and their favorite design happened to be at Son of a jeweler. However, that is not what brought them back, it was the approachable atmosphere, and feeling like Tina, Kathy and Kerri worked very hard to get them the best value and cared about them being happy with their purchase. Max is so in love with Kim. He wanted the best of the best of the best. Son of a jeweler delivered! The ring is a knockout and one of these days..... he will pop the question. Thank you, ladies for making this first major purchase such a great experience! Stephanie
