I am considering selling a couple of pieces of gold jewelry and was hoping to get estimates. I also have a ring that needs to be reshaped and possibly resized, and a necklace I want shortened. The jewelry was inspected but not weighed, and the price quoted was probably 1/4 of what I received from other places. They criticized the ring and initially told me it was chipped, which it was not, and said the time and cost to cut a simple gold chain would be high and take a long time. Based on the customer experience, I would never go back. Take your time and shop around, as there are a lot of better options, including The Gold Drop in San Rafael, and Prince in Sausalito, both of which excelled at customer service and provided much better pricing.

While I was there, I also had them look at some wedding gifts and jewelry I no longer use to get an idea of their value. The shop itself is lovely, and Alan was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and generous with his time in answering my questions. The customer service really stood out as there was no pressure at any point, just honest guidance and a genuine willingness to help. I felt comfortable and confident in their advice throughout the entire visit. I truly felt I could trust their opinions and would highly recommend Prince Estate Jewelry.

I recently sold several gold items here, including a 14k hunter case pocket watch…read more During the evaluation, the items were taken out of view and I was not shown individual weights or a clear breakdown of how the value was determined. The watch, which had multiple gold components including an inner cover, was discussed but ultimately folded into the overall estimate without being separately accounted for. The explanation given for its lower value focused on a "broken crystal," which does not materially affect the scrap value of a gold case, where weight and karat are the primary factors. I was paid approximately $400 for the watch. Without seeing weights or a transparent calculation, I've since found it difficult to reconcile that figure with what a multi-component 14k gold case would reasonably represent. I would strongly recommend that anyone selling gold ask to see weights and a clear breakdown before agreeing to a final price.

I had my wedding ring designed over 3 visits with Dan Trudeau following recommendations from…read morefriends and family and I still cannot believe how smooth everything went! I was not sure what I was getting myself into or what I even wanted, but knew it would be non traditional and unique. He spent time looking at my inspiration pics and "pulled me out of the ether," regarding what was and was not feasible. Was able to use a diamond from each of my grandmothers' wedding rings. He was transparent about the cost throughout, provided education on different jewels with thoughtfulness around important specifics I would not know to ask about; ease of cleaning, shades of gold, size of my hand, finger webbing, how settings and light will impact my choices, factors that influence longevity and maintenance. He was mindful to not insert his opinion outside of the structural capacity of my ideas, despite my requests. He searched and found different stones for me to see in person, much faster than I imagined was possible. At The final appt before the ring was built, he created wax version of the ring. I was initially concerned due to size/bulkiness, though he walked me through the details of how it would look differently upon completion which put me at ease. The ring was created with subtle details that he learned through our appointments about me; he specifically balanced diamonds on the band to support straight alignment in relation to my specific finger webbing (with only measuring my ring size and eyeballing my hand), "you can go rock climbing in this thing." Overall, this was a special experience I shared with my mother and finance in my home town. I will return for cleanings and highly recommend this place. My mother also had multiple items resized and repaired with prompt and beautiful results. The entire staff was kind and personable. They engaged intermittently along the way with their past personal and professional experience with different stones, designs, jewelers... After our first visit, I was just not sure if I was on the right track in part due to my severe indecisiveness, but all visits after that confirmed this was the right place to be and I am in love with the result. My fiancé was also pleased and appreciated the level of involvement that was asked of him, lol.

I live in Glen Ellen now, and took my wedding bands to a local Sonoma shop to get welded to my engagement ring and I was thoroughly disappointed with the whole process. Their customer service was terrible from the moment we dropped the ring off to the product of the ring. I was so disappointed I realized I should've never gone to another jewelry shop. The ring was bent and didn't even look like one piece. I ended up taking it to Hollingsworth to see what they thought/could do about it and they said they would fix it for me. When they called to tell me it was ready they told me they had to take the old welds off and completely redo it. The ring looks AMAZING. Like it was never bent and it looks like it is all one piece. They didn't even charge me more for the time and effort they put into redoing it. I cannot believe the difference in the quality. They are truly the best. I will post a before and after of the job they did. I am so happy I will never go anywhere else!! Even if that means driving out of town for my jewelry. I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

I reached out to them via dm to place an appointment, but you can also do it yourself on their website. I asked whether we would need to commit to anything during the appointment and they said no. This made me feel a bit at ease, as we were just planning to go in to explore our options and become educated in picking out engagement rings. They responded very quickly to my dm and helped me make an appointment, answered any questions I had, and added me to a text chat where I could send in some ring inspos and what styles I was looking for. We came a bit early, but they were able to accommodate us. We were guided to a table reserved especially for us and were offered champagne or sparkling juices/water and some cookies as snacks. Our jeweler, Lyn, was very easy to talk to and she made us feel very comfortable during the entire appointment. We told her that we didn't have much knowledge about picking out a ring and what to look for, but she was able to help us through the entire process and guide us through all of those steps. We had a ring design in mind already and we showed her the photo and she was able to show me the similar setting, diamond shape, and carat size, against my finger. We tried on different band widths to see which one I liked better, went over the 4 C's (color, clarity, cut, and carat weight), and explained to us what they meant. She showed us different diamonds in different carat sizes and the differences in clarity grade between them. My bf and I really learned a lot during our consultation and are very glad we booked an in person consultation with Hung Phat. I'd like to thank Lyn and Val for providing us with excellent customer care and helping us in our ring journey.
