Wonderful selection of high quality jewelry! And the owner is so knowledgeable and friendly. I feel safe shopping there with the on site security guard and the store's double security doors.

Dana Kathryn Jewelry - Jewelry Near Me - Studio City, California

See all

All the reviews here seem fake. This women made me feel horrible and I'm don't know how she got rid of my bad review from her profile. I'm Hispanic and two years ago I was shopping for an engagement ring for my now wife. I lived close to the shop and I walked over there. I was dressed in khakis, a white shirt and I was clean shaving. I only mention this because she made me feel like I was dressed like a thug. It was 11am and I knocked on the door and she said rudely "what do you want." "This is a jewelry store right? I want to buy jewelry" I replied through the locked door. "What do you have in that backpack." "My laptop" "you'll have to leave it outside" "I cant leave my laptop out read more

Dana is AMAZING!! She has something for everyone. You won't be disappointed! Such a great inventory and I all her rings!

To Luis Yes seems upsetting but don't blame her Many times her store was broken into and robbed and she's scared !! I've going here for many years She is truly a sweetheart!!!! read more

I recently damaged my engagement ring very badly. My parents live in Studio City and recommended that I got to Dana Kathryn Jewelry. She worked with me for over an hour to determine the best fix for my ring. She considered design, aesthetic, and affordability. She took great care and consideration in determining what to do. About 10 days later I was able to return to Dana's studio and pick up my ring. The result truly exceeded my expectations. Though it looked a bit different than my original ring, it was even more beautiful than before. I couldn't believe it! I am truly thrilled with her work! I would highly recommend Dana Kathryn Jewelry. If you're looking for a highly personalized, expert, professional experience, visit Dana! She's the best! read more

I LOVE stones, crystals, gems & jewels! Diamonds aren't necessarily my best friends -- I appreciate all varieties and colors, across the broad spectrum of rocks out there! (I'm a closet hippy, I dig the vibes & juju of crystals, man!) And it is no secret that rocks can be expensive, while hippies tend to be Starving Artists, so I'm always on the lookout for sources of affordable stones, when the Gem & Jewelry show isn't in town. I finally made it over to this fantastic boutique, which I've heard about for a few years, to buy my grandma a birthday present. What a spread! The cozy little store is crammed with bling, for any budget! Here's some of what I bought: - gorgeous Carnelian necklace for grandma ($20) - Chunk of Amethyst ($8) - small, tumbled black Agate ($2) I would increase my rating to 5 Stars if Dana stocked more non-jewelry crystals, for example a larger variety of wands, or palm-sized stones for Chakra lay-outs. (As it is, most of the items in the store are exquisite pieces of jewelry, which are probably in higher demand with its clientele than loose stones, while the modestly-sized interior would need to expand to accommodate more rocks. The owners is extremely enthusiastic -- a kindred spirit when it comes to minerals, both for decorative or spiritual use! Like a kid in a candy store, I never wanted to leave, and as soon as I did, couldn't wait to go back! read more

Good area good business took care of all my questions very friendly people great prices you can tell they know there jewelry the first review sounds like a scam artist read more

I first went to see Dana to have a valuable vintage 1930's Mexican silver bracelet repaired. It was a tricky repair and she did a great job with it. The next time I went to her store was to look for a simple/classic looking Aquamarine ring for a birthday present. I found exactly what I was looking for, and the ring is still worn all the time - it's really beautiful. So with a 10th wedding anniversary coming up, I decided to have her help me design a custom ring for my wife. Dana's positive energy and design sense was reassuring, and in the end an absolutely beautiful ring was created. She found beautiful stones and set them perfectly, the inscription was done just as I wanted and it was delivered when promised. I am really happy that Dana was the one to craft my wife's ring - the whole experience was so positive. As for my wife, she is happy too and really loves the ring! I encourage anyone looking for unique jewelry to check out her shop, you'll be happy you did. Thank You Dana! read more

I was there today. Dana is very sweet and patient. Her store can be overwhelming so move slowly and look at everything. She has so much to choose from. I like the vibe there. I'll be back for sure. read more

I have been coming to this little gem of a store for about 5 years now with friends and family in tow. Everyone is amazed at the treasures they find. From diamonds and precious gems to great little gifts from $6. Dana has repaired numerous items for me and family members all with perfect results. I get tons of compliments on everything I buy there, plus every time I walk in there Dana is a pleasure to deal with. I do not know what the other reviewer is talking about but my 5 years of experience here has been nothing but positive. read more

I must say I LOVE Dana Kathryn Jewelry !!!! First of all Dana is an absolute Doll!! Aaron who works with her is as much of a sweetheart as Dana. She has great jewelry and both Dana and Aaron are so helpful with any advice you need. Whether it be a piece of jewelry for your self or some one else! The added bonus is visiting with their fantastic German Shepard Charley who I always enjoy seeing.. He is the MASTER of the store and is he a HOOT! .... I can spend hours looking at everything she has because there is such a variety of stuff and it is so much fun.. she has delicious cookies too!!!!. It is rare to find a store that has gorgeous baubles and great people/owners who just enjoy having you there ! I give this store a 5++ A must for all who want great gifts for themselves or their sweeties!! PS I just brought a bunch of jewelry to get fixed and had a bunch of stones to restring Dana and Aaron could not have been more helpful.. I bring all my jewels there for repair and that is an added bonus! Mimi Studio City read more

DO NOT BRING ANY VALUABLE JEWELRY TO THIS WOMAN!!!!!! i brought in a $1100 ring to be sized that has an authentic roman coin from 336-323 BC, she sized the ring and cleaned it, which you are NEVER supposed do to authentic coins....she ruined the coin so badly that she then had the coin flipped around to make it look better perhaps?! either way when i spoke to her, she denied all of the above (even though i have all the documentation showing the original ring) and has refused to remedy the situation. wow the nerve!!! i am pursuing this in small claims court...we'll see what happens. i will update if she takes care of this. **an update to my situation and to the woman who cannot understand my review. a) dana kathryn absolutely 100% screwed up the ring i brought into her to size and denied it wholeheartedly, even though i have proof of the original ring and what it looked like after she got her hands on it!!! i was able to send it to the original jeweler who was able to repair the damage that dana kathryn did, thank god, and i was glad to pay for it to be repaired rather than put any energy into taking her to small claims court (which i would have done, if the ring was not able to be repaired). b) as far as the actual jewelry in her shop ...as the other reviewer is referring to, by all means dana has some very cool pieces in her shop and i probably would have become a long term customer of hers to buy gifts for people and make jewelry purchases for myself. i will not deny that she does have some great pieces for decent prices...all i'm saying is avoid taking any valuable jewelry in for sizing or repairs. read more

Love love love Dana!!!!!!!!!! Her store is full of beautiful and cool jewels!!!!!!!!!!! Thankyou for all my beautiful things!!!!!!! A+++++++++++ read more

This jewelry store is fantastic. Not only are they knowledgable and seem to have every piece of equipment for repairs, but they fix stuff quickly and on the spot. Also. Their prices for new jewelry are reasonable! Great atmosphere. Unique and beautiful pieces of jewelry. Friendly people. read more

Thank you Dana ! I am so excited to wear the beautiful ring you designed and made to order in my size . It is gorgeous ! The diamond floral design is so unique and you are the most helpful and fun jeweler ! Thank you ! read more

Dana has designed 6 CUSTOM diamond rings and necklaces with tanzanites or sapphires over the years and they are magnificent. She is a genius and 1000% trustworthy. We have bought several of her custom designs also. My husband of 43 years lost his wedding ring from 1974-we had no photo and she helped design a replacement. We both love it. My husband HATES to shop and since we met her, he has a comfortable place to go to buy me a gift. He becomes my hero and I am a winner!!! Dana is lovely and Charlie the German Shepherd is great. Thank You Dana!! read more

I have been going to Dana Kathryn Jewelry for the last several years and cannot say enough wonderful words about her and the unique store. Her selection of jewelry runs the spectrum of casual to fine diamond. I put my complete trust in Dana and have never been disappointed. You would have to look long and hard for someone as kind, helpful and honest. read more

I came to the store to repair my necklace and get a price for a gold ring. I got a quote for the repair was cheap but not worth the customer experience i received. I came back to talk about my ring i got the feeling from the Owner Dana that she was really blowing me off complete disrespect. Basically telling me to go somewhere else. When I called to see when my repair would be ready they said I don't know maybe in 5 days for two second job which it ripped because its a small job if you want just come and come get it I am in a customer service business as well regardless how you feel if its a small job r not you dont do that to customers she lost a really good customer i ended up going to "PADANI Jewlers" a block down i dont see how they will remain in business long term. I ended up taking my necklace back taking it to simone from Padani that gave me a real experience very professional and explained it thoroughly what I was getting how I want to customized gave me a five-star experience I would never come back to this store ever again but definitely go to Padani read more

She made me feel like I was a second class citizen. I'm not one to use the race card but that's how I felt when I approached the store. I felt like I was judged by my race. I spent the whole morning looking for a ring to propose to my girlfriend and this store was my last stop. I looked into the store, there was a lady and a man. The lady looked frighten, scurried to the back and got her dog. She then came to the door and spoke through it, she didn't opened it. "what do you want?" "I'm looking for a ring for my girlfriend." "I don't have room for your backpack." "Um.. Well I can't leave it outside my iPad is in there." "Oh." She took a second and reluctantly open the door and took her dog behind the counter. But by that time I had no desire to buy anything from this woman. The guy kept doing his thing, and didn't acknowledged me. As a Hispanic man raised in Seattle I can tell the difference between being cautious and racial profiling. It's been a while since I have been made to feel this way. Just too clarify, I was wearing nice khakis, a white undershirt and I had a grocery bag with veggies I bought at the farmers market, nothing thug like. I wonder if I would have had the same experience if I was white and wearing the same thing. I mentioned to her before I left "you must get a lot of sketchy customer to be that cautious." My whole experience at this store was horrible. read more

Dana is a fabulous jeweler as well as a wonderful person. I've been a customer of hers for many, many years since before she was at her current location. She isextremely honest, has the utmost integrity and is highly qualified to work with fine jewelry. She also carries great costume jewelry. She has repaired, resized, put in new stones, etc for me over the years and her work has always been impeccable. read more

I love Dana! She has great energy and amazing jewelry! I fixed my engagement ring with her and bought a beautiful antique wedding ring from her. Her prices are extremely reasonable and being that she is an appraiser as well, she can help you find the perfect item. I am so glad that I found her store and will definitely be coming to her again!! read more

"Dana is the best jeweler I have been to in 20 years!! I've had repairs done here, had Dana design jewelry for me, and bought the gorgeous pieces she has in her cases. The best quality, prices and artisan-ship you can imagine!" There's no need to drive all the way to the jewelry mart... read more

I have been going to see Dana and purchase jewelry from her for quite some time now. She is always helpful and her selection of jewelry is always fantastic. She makes quite a bit of the jewelry and is very knowledgeable about jewelry repair. She definitely has a flair and talent for jewelry making. I have even brought her some of the older jewelry I no longer wear and she has been helpful in evaluating it for me. I have many treasured items that I have purchased from her which include jade bangles, (which I adore), necklaces made with the finest gemstones including mother-of-pearl (so shiny and great quality) and many other fine gems, including a Morganite ring (love love love) and a diamond necklace. She is a great designer and a wonderful person. I love coming in to her store to see what is new, and I always buy something! I highly recommend her. She has strict standards of repair and is quite knowledgeable. You will not be sorry. She has been in business for many many years and knows what she is doing. Enjoy shopping there, there is something for every budget (a lot of fun). read more

I have been going to Dana Kathryn for about 5 years now. She has repaired countless pieces I have bought countless pieces and every time I go into her store it is a joy. My Mom and I love going to this great jewelry store. Not only does she have fine jewelry but hundreds of super affordable pieces. Earrings for $20 and under hair jewelry for $20 and under. This place is a total find. I get tons of compliments on everything I but from her. She is fast with repairs and her work is great. I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about but Dana is my go to for all things jewelry and gifts. 5 years of friends and family loving this place can't lie. read more

This is the first time I have ever written a Yelp review but I felt it was serious and rude enough to merit it. I took my engagement rings to her to have engraved as my wedding is next weekend and destination. I also took a locket as a present to my mother in law for the same engraving. Simple, right? WRONG. First of all, Dana's energy is not positive like one person above has clearly lied about. She has a nervous fidgety weasely energy and I should have trusted my gut on this one because this was my first impression and I gave her my rings anyway. As an example I showed her the engraving in my Neil Lane engagement ring, which is large, legible, and done perfectly. She fidgeted around a bit as I told her both the ring and the locket were extremely important to me and I wanted to make sure they are done right. She assured me they would be perfect and I left my rings and came back a week later (today) to pick them up. When I saw what she did to both the locket and ring I was appalled. First of all the locket has a FLAT surface on the back so you would think she could get this right. No chance. The writing was the smallest most illegible, wonky, scritch scratch I have every seen. And to be honest I am usually very easy to please, but I had to ask her to use her jewelry magnifier to I could read it and I could barely make out the words even with the magnifier. Its as if her depth perception was writing on a grain of rice. NOW FOR THE WORSE news- SHE RUINED MY FIANCES ENGAGEMENT RING. The word "My" was clearly misspelled as "MH". Now I start to get hot and sweat and I could feel my tears starting to well up. So I said this is really bad and illegible. And I am not happy. So you know what she says to me? "I think its great". So i reply, with all due respect I am the customer and you spelled the word "MY" wrong and I am very dissatisfied. And the writing tapers off to one side. Again she gets more defensive and launches into a narrative about how shes been a gemologist for 25 years etc etc. So I calmly, again fighting back tears, say- look this is really bad craftsmanship and its misspelled and this is my fiances wedding ring and I was expecting the letters to be legible and one is misspelled. So she looks at it again and said no its not. In her defense it was ant sized so it could have said God Save the queen and I wouldnt be able to argue it with her. Mind you I have 20 20 vision and she wears glasses. So she huffs around and says fine come back next week I will polish it out. So basically half way admits to her error and offers to wipe the ring clean. This is a process now that makes my brand new gold ring lose value and gold weight. So I said "I cannot do that my wedding is next week and I am gone". So at this point I am expecting her to apologize and at least admit fault and realize the error in her ways of dealing with an unhappy customer and offer to not charge me for the horrible shotty work. Instead she says I dont know what you want me to do. "I think its fine and you cannot really see it anyway." Really lady?! Thats supposed to make me feel better. If i could show you Yelp readers a pic of the wonky sideways engraving she has done to ruin my fiances ring- any bride at this point would have flipped out, especially a week before her wedding day. So as she gets more aggressive, and fidgety and her energy gets more aggressive towards me and THEN her GIANT GERMAN SHEPARD jumps up on the counter and she does nothing to bring him down. So now I am in tears, with a stubborn rude salesperson, and a 176 lb dog percherd to attack me. And no offer to not charge or fix the situation. And mind you, I am the one who is speaking calmly to her! So defeated, I said "let me just pay for the locket and I will leave and never come back here but I am absolutely going to write a yelp review about this." MY ONLY SOLACE AT THIS POINT. So she LAUGHS and says "fine!", again no apology or offer to fix it, and i am in tears at this point. SO I STILL LET THIS EVIL WITCH INTIMIDATE ME, and CHARGE ME and then I leave and burst into tears. Lesson learned, this woman is wicked, her large dog may or may not intimidate and attack you (mind you I am 100lbs so I offer no intimidation factor back, and I am left in tears before my wedding. MORAL OF THE STORY- DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT PURCHASE OR HAVE THIS WOMAN ENGRAVE OR FIX ANY OF YOUR JEWELRY. HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THREAT OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE FROM A LARGE ANIMAL. read more

My husband lost his wedding band of thirty years while we were snorkeling on vacation. For our anniversary I decided to have a replica made and surprise him with it. Dana Kathryn Jewelry came to my rescue! The owner could not have been more understanding or helpful. She listened carefully to my wishes, made notes of every detail and was more than fair with her prices. I appreciated her professionalism and especially her compassion in understanding that there is not only monitary value, but also sentimental value with jewelry. On the shore of the Pacific Ocean where he once lost his ring, I surprised him with his beautiful new wedding band. He thought I had somehow found the original and in my mind we did, but even better. Thanks to Dana Kathryn, his ring and its sentiment came full circle and that's priceless. In addition, this store has a great selection of jewerly, easy parking, and a very friendly vibe! read more
