I cannot believe I haven't written a review for Nuggets and Carats! My family has been long time…read morecustomers of N&C since around 1993 and possibly before (my mom married my stepdad in '93 so that's when I have become familiar with them). I used to be a milspouse and while we lived in CO l had a horrific experience with a jewelry repair. All I needed was a watch battery replaced but two jewelry stores stripped the screws on the back of the watch! The one jewelry store kept telling me week after week that the screws needed this lubricant to help them unscrew. After 4+ weeks of this nonsense l finally told them to give me the watch back, we were done. I found that they were unable to get any screws out because all 4 were still in when l received it back (a lie from them saying they were waiting on the last 1-2 to unlock). I ended up visiting my family in CA and Brian and his wonderful jewelers not only had it fixed in less than a week, they also gave it a thorough look over and put in new screws that work better than the originals that came with it. I also had an antique platinum setting that l bought to use as my wedding ring except the middle diamond in the original setting was really small. I had a larger one to have set into it and there is NO ONE else l would trust with that! They did a beautiful job and you'd never know it wasn't original to the ring. It looks like it was meant to be that way. A secretary at my kiddos' school was telling me about her ring that so many jewelers couldn't fix. I recommended her to this shop. Although she went to their Mission Viejo location instead, she said she was thrilled that they were finally able to fix her ring when so many others said it couldn't be done. Currently, my late dad's Rolex is being checked by their watch person. My mom and stepdad have both gone through their watch person as well and have had no complaints. I think the best thing is the relief l feel when dropping my jewelry off here. I know that it will be in the best care and get the fix it needs. Brian stands by his work and l can say that from an issue (that would have happened when repairing it anywhere) that happened and Brian has more than made it right in the very rare situation that has happened. Brian's expertise and integrity is unmatched. I trust him implicitly and only come here for any repairs l need done. They are kind, professional, and knowledgeable.

From the moment I walked into Mardo K Jewelry, I felt genuinely taken care of. They are not only…read moreincredibly knowledgeable, but truly kind; the kind of people who care about their customers, not just the repair or selling you jewelry. They restored my bent emerald ring back to absolute perfection. It looked brand new, but more than that, they handled it with such care and respect, and were so generous of their time. After my experience, I confidently referred them to my boss, who entrusted them with repairing meaningful family-gifted chains. Once again, they exceeded expectations. It's rare to find craftsmanship and heart in the same place, but Mardo K embodies both. I'm so grateful I stumbled upon them and will be referring all of my friends. Looking forward to returning, not just for repairs, but to create something new and grow my little jewelry collection.

Despite being longtime customers, our experience was a nightmare. They kept my engagement ring for over six weeks to size the band to the engagement ring, and got it wrong the first time. Worse, when the diamond fell out before I even wore it, their response was a cold "these things happen" with zero apology or accountability. When we repeatedly asked for solutions so I could wear my ring on our honeymoon, Sonia and Janet completely ghosted us. Extremely unprofessional. My family and friends will never use them again.

Think Twice Before Ordering a Custom Ring…read more We chose Brax because we wanted a truly custom engagement ring. We paid a premium for a personalized design because we believed we were investing in something unique, created specifically for us. What we didn't expect was to see our custom ring featured over and over again on the company's Instagram page. all without ever asking for our permission or consent. If you're paying extra for a custom design, you should know that it may not remain exclusive. In our experience, the ring we paid to have customized became part of the company's advertising. That completely defeats the purpose of paying a premium for something that is supposed to be personal and one of a kind. To make matters worse, when we returned to purchase our wedding band and complete our wedding set, we were treated with complete indifference. We simply asked for a brief phone call to finalize the details, but instead we were dismissed through text messages, assumptions were made about our budget, and we felt like our business no longer mattered. As returning customers who had already spent thousands of dollars, we expected professionalism and respect. Instead, we left feeling disappointed and decided to purchase our wedding bands elsewhere.
