    A very smooth buying process. The sale was handled with warmth and professionalism. I was able to find what I wanted.

    This place makes dreams come true! That's it…read more I was a completely clueless guy, overwhelmed with where to even start when shopping for an engagement ring. Through a friend's recommendation (already a good sign), I went to see Richard, and he helped guide me through what to actually look for. Over the course of 2-3 months, I visited him multiple times, asking for advice, having him look at diamonds I was eyeing, sending inspiration photos, and trying to figure out that what I wanted was basically a Frankenstein combination of multiple ring styles. Still, he entertained every idea I had. He told me more than once, "I don't want to take your money if you don't want what I'm giving you." That alone says a lot about how he runs his business. After all the planning, brainstorming, and back and forth, Richard and his team pulled it off. He helped me give my fiancée the ring of her dreams, something unique and special enough to match who she is. So thank you, Richard, for helping make that happen, and thank you, Shelly, for always entertaining me and making me feel like family during what was honestly a pretty stressful process. You've made the whole experience feel exciting and personal instead of overwhelming. Oh, and to tie it all together, I did introduce my fiancée to Richard and Shelly. That's how big a part they played in the story of our engagement.

    This is a fun, close-knit crew that's genuinely helpful, honest, and easy to do business with.

I trust them completely, and that's not something I say lightly when it comes to jewelry. Highly recommend.

    We had the best experience getting our custom engagement ring from VVS Jewelry Co / Hung Phat USA…read more They made the whole process feel so special. The ring was perfect and exactly what we envisioned. Ann handled our main consultation and guided us through the entire process, showing us all the beautiful options available. We highly recommend Ann. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and amazing at what she does! Val was also fantastic, stepping in for multiple steps of the process when Ann wasn't there to ensure everything stayed right on track. Thank you, Ann and Val, for helping us create the perfect ring!

    We made an appointment after seeing some ads on Instagram for a free ring consultation. My bf and I…read morehave no knowledge of trying to pick out an engagement ring and what to look for, so we decided to book an appointment with Hung Phat. 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.

    It's been a very long time since we have been to Bishmillah Jewlers but just recently I traded in…read morean old bracelet I had bought from them years ago. Just to find out that the bracelet was filled with metal wiring inside which initially made the bracelet heavy in grams but once the wire was taken out the weight of the gold also went down so in reality we paid extra for a bracelet that was filled with metal wiring inside which is not fair for us customers that trusted Bishmillah Jewlers. Please be aware.

    Executive Summary: OMG, Good Thieves or Bad Thieves, you be the judge. $23.59, was it worth it?…read more Read away From the end of the story, please help me understand and calculate sales tax on $1,820.70 at a rate of 10.75%? All I need to say is look at the receipt and you be the judge!!! Attachment: 1st pic is the original receipt, 2nd photo is tax at 10.75% 3rd picture is tax at 12.046%. Upon discovering this "discrepancy", I called a couple days later and spoke with the same sales person, to see if this was an oversight, I wanted to give them the opportunity to correct the mistake. I was told I am not calculating the tax correctly and "instead of multiply, I need to add the sales %" said the associate. I apologized for not knowing how to calculate sales tax. Here we are now with tax fraud compounding. Did I ACTUALLY BUY 22k GOLD, STAY TUNED FOR MORE UPDATES AS THIS PLOT THICKENS. Have you decided? Good Thieves, Bad Thieves, Undecided, and finally, the jeweler should be trusted? EVEN MORE DETAILS if you are still curious: This was my 1st time making a purchase from here. Before I made my purchase I asked about their EXCHANGE policy, they said normally they don't exchange or refund, but for me I have 7 days to exchange because these were gifts and I wanted to be certain. Keep in mind, I even asked them to put jewelry stickers on my pendants because they were gifts and I wanted the recipient to know karat and weight. PLUS, if it wasn't exactly what I wanted, they couldn't say it was worn/used. When trying to exchange 3 days later, I was told that my $2k credit could not be used for special orders just whats's in stock. When selecting 2 chains, I wasn't told how the credit would be applied until I made a selection. I was also not told what price per gram they would use to calculate my chain (11.5g). Not until a significant level of effort to kill them with kindness, I was told they would calculate the gold at $85/gram plus tax (my first purchase was inclusive of all taxes). They discounted the price down to $80/gram, but now they are speaking of adding sales tax in addition to gram price. When I asked about lowering the price to $79, the owners daughter kept being condescending towards me and I certainly didn't feel welcome. What I ended up selecting was $160 more than my exchange because selectively, the price today was before tax, but a few days ago, prices were out the door. When I asked for a little wiggle on the $160, the owners daughter continued to explain how grateful I should be for the exchange, as this is not normal. I quickly ended the discussion, pulled out my card and said charge it. In addition to this purchase, I was also there to buy a couple name plates and corresponding chain roughly $1500-$2000. With how they treated me, they really don't deserve my business. I really wanted to continue doing business with them, but their lack of foresight lost them a $4k customer. What business is willing to overcharge by pennies to loose out on dollars? Bismillah Jeweler's If you made it to the bottom of my review, you have lots of time on your hands, but glad you did. FINAL THOUGHT (Late Jerry Springer): Question, if I can't trust the sales tax calculation, how can I trust this jeweler to sell me GOLD? Remember, NO REFUND or EXCHANGES. My only option is to see what the Franchise Tax Board says when file a report. Their retail sales and religion are inter-twinned, meaning, it is their religious affiliation that instills a sense of trust to generate sales. All the while, they continue to defraud the general public, city, state, and federal government in taxes. I know they have no regard for customer service, but possible legal troubles, potential audits from local and state governments might get them to change their way, I can only pray for that day to come sooner rather than later.
