I wish I could give 10 stars…read more I needed 3 pens engraved with same-day turnaround. After calling 10+ shops in the Bay Area, Heirloom Engravings was the first to say they can do it - and they really delivered. Wade, the Master Engraver, is a true craftsman. He knew the materials inside and out, guided me on the best lettering style, and his workshop reflected someone who genuinely loves what he does. The end result was stunning and I couldn't be happier. I'll absolutely be back and would recommend Wade to anyone looking for quality and exquisite engraving work.

My project included a custom design on the curved surface of the bowl, along with an engraved date. The work looks amazing and they were very easy to interact with. Dropped off Thurs and was ready Tues, coulda been even faster if needed. They apparently have a history of engraving for Tiffany, and it's clear that their primary business is NOT bowling trophies and Little League plaques. I visited 3 other shops before going with Heirloom and it was a night and day comparison in their favor on expertise, confidence and quality.

It's a sentimental piece with an amythest inset and a sterling corno I bought in Italy and added to it. I'm half Italian and the corno is a symbol of protection. When I came in I was greeted by Charlie, Chris' super cute poodle pup. Chris emerged from his workshop and fixed my necklace within minutes. What an aces human being! Thank you so much.

The cost was the last straw that just blew me away. I know plenty but not everything about gold & the market, so when I get overcharged I don't hesitate to say something. Chris is fair in pricing for his services & the work he does is awesome without a doubt! Of all the jewelry shops I've visited in the Bay Area for buying gold or strictly jewelry repair, Seelenbacher is hands down top tier in that category. If I ever move out of California, I'd take a flight back just to see Chris for repairs & I'm so being serious.

A yelp search resulted in this business. Over 20 years ago, when my boss retired from the labor force, he gave me a 14K gold bracelet, thanking me for being his secretary. Well, the link came off and I was trying to connect it to the bracelet, only to have it fall out of my hands onto the carpet. (Good luck in trying to find that link.) No worry. The Gold Spot Jewelers to the rescue. I stopped in this afternoon to take care of business (bizness). The elderly gentleman was indeed a tremendous help. He was skillful and a professional in jewelry repair. OG got it going on - mad skills and all. The "brutha" is awesome in my book. (Right on, my man) According to him, he has been at this location for about 15 years. Need jewelry repair? Drop on by The Gold Spot Jewelers. The owner will take care of ya with a smile.

Yelp's search feature needs work. I searched for a watch repair place in Alameda, and the only one…read morethat came up in the search results is Watch Hospital on Park St, and the reviews for that place were not encouraging. It's only by reading through those reviews that I found out about The Gold Spot, located right in South Shore. I came into Gold Spot to get my watch battery replaced. The replacement was $15, very reasonable, and completed while I waited, in under 10 minutes. Will return for future watch repair or jewelry cleaning needs.

They seem to do everything from posters, business cards to trophies and plaques…read more When you walk inside they have walls full of samples of their trophies and plaques. There's a variety of designs which looked good. Some of them were dedicated to Oakland's Mayor and to Members of Congress. If it's good enough for Congresswoman Barbara Lee it's good enough for me. I went to personalize a birthday gift for a friend. I bought him a rare bottle of whiskey that came in a wood box and wanted it engraved. The design and engraving happened pretty quick and it cost $25, I don't know if that's high or low since I've never gotten anything engraved before but it turned out well. Adding the engraving makes the gift a lot more meaningful. I think I'd do that again for really good friends and loved ones.
