Unfulfilled Promises and Missed Opportunities…read more As a Yelper, I strive to give local businesses every opportunity to shine, especially those with a boutique charm and a promise of personal service. Unfortunately, after three visits to LA Masters of Fine Jewelers in Temecula, I'm left disheartened by a sharp contrast in experience and a lack of basic follow-through. My first visit was lovely. I stopped in out of curiosity, was greeted warmly, and enjoyed browsing their jewelry. No pressure, just genuine enthusiasm and hospitality. It left a positive impression and made me bookmark them for the future. Fast forward to my second visit, now newly engaged and eager to support a local jeweler with a custom wedding band for my fiancé. Again, I was welcomed kindly and talked through the customization process in detail. I was advised to return with my fiancé to confirm sizing, metal, and width. Everything felt thoughtful and promising. However, my third visit, which should've been the most exciting and collaborative, was a disappointment. While we were initially greeted pleasantly, the energy shifted abruptly when I mentioned having spoken with a different associate the day prior. The associate assisting us redirected us to the register and openly discussed passing the commission to the original associate, in front of us. The handoff was awkward and impersonal. Despite that, we provided all the necessary details for our custom ring: sizing, specs, and inspiration images. We were told we'd receive our CAD drawing within 4 days (by 7/23) to review before moving forward. It has now been 12 days, and we've heard nothing. No call. No email. No CAD drawing. No follow-up of any kind. The irony? That very same day, we visited another local jeweler who, unprompted, expressed surprise that LA Masters was still in business due to their history of poor follow-through. At the time, I dismissed that as unprofessional gossip, but sadly, I experienced exactly what she described. We were genuinely ready to move forward with a purchase. But the lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic courtesy speaks volumes. I won't chase a business to give them my money, especially for something as sentimental and significant as a wedding ring. I wanted to support you, LA Masters. But you made it clear I'm better off going elsewhere.

There is a…read morepossibility that the company itself is still good, but unfortunately one employee completely ruined the experience for us. My wife was gifted older jewelry from her grandmother and wanted to have it appraised and possibly resized -- approximately 25 items. She booked the appointment online and was never informed of any appraisal or handling fees. When my wife, her cousin, and I arrived, we received no warm welcome whatsoever. We were about 15 minutes late due to being new to the area and accidentally going to the wrong location, and we apologized immediately. From that moment on, the older brunette woman who assisted us was rude and dismissive. There was no small talk, responses were short and snippy, and the overall customer service was very poor. When my wife asked for an estimate to sell some items and have a bracelet repaired and cleaned, the employee scoffed and said, "Just so you know, this is exactly why I asked how many items you had -- because we charge a fee." I explained that this fee should have been mentioned upfront or charged when the appointment was booked online. I also expressed that she had been rude since we walked in and made us feel completely unwelcome. Management may want to address customer service expectations with this employee. We had every intention of doing business here, but her attitude alone made us decide otherwise.
