I was happy to see Angie when I picked them up and paid. The cost was extremely reasonable. Will recommend and have planning on going back for a gift! I browsed briefly but they offer an array of jewelry in store as well as online. Thanks to Jack for the repairs.

I recently worked with Higgins to restore an old family gold bracelet - something that was really special (and worn so much, you could tell how special it is) but needed some SERIOUS TLC. I just picked up the bracelet and it looks brand new - I'm shocked it's even the same bracelet! I'm so thankful for the time, care and love the team at Higgins put into this. Their customer service is spot on, their jewelry is timeless and beautiful, and not to mention, their storefront is so cute! I'd absolutely recommend Higgins to anyone looking for something new (gifts, engagement rings, etc.), or even looking to renew something older and special - like I did. Highly recommend!

Dioro Jewelers in Danville just performed a miracle. My mother-in-law's 80-year-old wedding ring --…read moreworn, tired, and barely recognizable -- has been completely transformed into a stunning piece worthy of a new chapter. Corinne walked us through every step, delivered on every promise, and turned it around quickly at a price that felt more than fair. The result? My daughter will walk down the aisle wearing her grandmother's ring. That's not just jewelry restoration -- that's legacy. Dioro is my jeweler for life. Full stop.

From the moment we walked in, Corinne made the experience feel incredibly special. She was warm, welcoming, patient, and completely nonjudgmental. My husband knows far more about diamonds than I do since he picked out my previous ring, so I walked in feeling a little overwhelmed and unsure of myself. Corinne immediately put me at ease. She took the time to educate us, guide us, and help us customize a ring that felt perfect in every way. I enjoyed working with her so much that we also ended up purchasing a beautiful pair of diamond earrings. There is truly something special about her and her shop. You can feel the warmth the moment you walk in, and it's reflected in the wonderful customers she has built relationships with over the years. It feels personal there, not transactional. When the ring was finally ready, my husband surprised me, and I was brought to tears. It is beyond beautiful, and the sizing is absolutely perfect. More than the ring itself, the entire experience felt meaningful and memorable. We had worked with another jeweler in the past, but the experience never felt quite right. I often left feeling uninformed and disconnected from the process. With Corinne, it was completely different. Her passion, knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. I can confidently say this will be my jeweler for years to come. I highly, highly recommend Corinne and Dioro Jewelers, not only for the stunning jewelry, but for the experience, kindness, and exceptional pricing as well.

The Vortman Jewelry store was a tiny hole in the wall on Telegraph Ave in Berkeley, when I bought…read moremy wife's engagement ring there in 1967. Kind of right during the the Free speech, Anti War times, but we were pretty "traditional." Vortman was a tall, European guy who convinced us that he knew what he was talking about! We went back over the years until one day, he wasn't there anymore Going through my box of old memories, I came across that ring (my wife has passed away) and then saw my watch from 1968, when I was stationed on Guam with the USAF. I had purchased this Tissot divers watch, and wore it every day for ten years, until I forgot to lock down the stem and got water into it... one thing led to another, I took it to a repair guy, who messed it up and lost the second hand. And so it's been broken down for about 25 years. I wondered what happened to Vortman, so I looked him up online, and saw that there was this store by that name in Castro Valley, so I went in, and his son Randy was the man of the hour. We talked about the past, about the ring, and about watch repair. He looked at it, and said he could bring it back, and I took it, and a Hamilton watch that also was my wife's, that was also not running. Well, he has fixed both, and hopefully they will run perfectly for the next 25 years!! But Randy helped to bring back powerful memories to working order, and I'm really grateful for the craftsmamship and the stories from the past. By the way, Randy noticed a small signature in the Hamilton watch, that his dad had engraved when my wife had brought the watch for a repair maybe 40 years ago... What a gift!!!
