    Natalie and Ilene at Golden String have exceeded my fiancé's and my expectations when it came to creating my engagement ring. We came across their business via IG on Oct 2024. I fell in love with one of their settings that was in between a pavé band and solitaire band. Making an appointment was seamless and easy. We were able to look at various stones during the appointment. Initially I fell in love with an oval diamond and my fiancé was able to purchase on the spot at a decent price. A few months later, right before my fiancé was going to propose to me, I ended up realizing that the oval cut wasn't for me. My fiancé quickly reached out to Natalie and set a quick appointment to look at cushion cuts. I ended up with their very last antique cushion cut in stock, and it was an upgrade in color, clarity and carat. Of course there was a small exchange fee for the diamond as they had to reset the entire basket for the new cushion cut, but they were so accommodating and always put my happiness first. We are just recently engaged as of last week and I can't stop staring at my ring. It is truly everything I wanted.

    From start to finish, my experience with Golden String Jewelry was exceptional! I discovered them on Instagram and was immediately drawn to their custom work - their designs are elegant, thoughtful and tastefully unique. After sharing a few styles I loved, I received a quote and began the design process. Natalie was an absolute peach - I had so many questions and she was incredibly patient and thorough with her answers. Once we finalized the design, my perfect ring was crafted and delivered ahead of schedule, just in time for Christmas. It's more beautiful than I could have imagined... truly perfect in every way! Thank you Natalie and Golden String, for making this holiday season so special!

    Got the most beautiful necklace from golden string! The customer service is so amazing, no other company compares. The team answered every single question I had. I originally got the necklace stolen from my mail room and the team at golden string was able to help me through all the craziness! I would 100% come back for more jewelry needs!

    If I could give Golden String 10 stars, I would!!! We had looked around at a few other places before finding Golden String through a friend, and I'm SO happy we did. From the first phone call, I knew this would be the perfect team to take care of something as important as an engagement ring. I first spoke with Eileen on the phone and she was immediately helpful and clearly answered all the initial questions I had before helping me schedule an in-person consultation. At our first in-person consultation, we met with Eileen and met Natalie and Victor towards the end too. They were all extremely warm, kind, welcoming, attentive and really helped us through the process. She had everything prepared that we had spoken about on the phone for me to try, and just made the process so seamless and FUN. After that consultation, they stayed in close contact with my fiancé to finish designing and creating my DREAAAMMMMM engagement ring (and wedding band). I couldn't be happier or more grateful for how it all turned out!!! The cherry on top... it was all at a great, very reasonable price. Every step of the process, you can really tell this family loves what they do and care about their craft and their clients. Could not recommend them enough. 10/10! Thank you, Golden String, for being such a big part of one of the most meaningful moments of our lives.

    Natalie did an outstanding job with our ring. The moment we met her for the first time, we already knew she would be the one for the job. We could not have imagined a more beautiful ring if we had tried. Natalie understood the vision we had for this ring. We are delighted with how the ring turned out. Additionally, the diamonds she selected are always incredibly sparkly and shiny! Her pricing is also competitive. I would gladly pay the prices she charges for her high quality work. Natalie communicated with me every step of the process and would provide her expertise as well which was appreciated. We highly recommend her and her team and will certainly be going back for future projects. -Andreas and Britni

    The best jeweler to exist! Golden String is a sweet family owned business with multi-generational knowledge & expertise. We worked with Natalie to design our dream rings and not only did she truly listen & took note of everything we wanted in a ring, she was extremely patient with us, provided insightful guidance, & absolutely nailed our rings. Vic also gave us honest feedback to assist our decision making. Our rings are beautifully crafted with exceptional quality at a price that we found affordable. Getting our rings cleaned, checked, and resized by Golden String has also been a breeze. The service is prompt and Natalie is always extremely responsive whenever we have any questions. Their service is truly invaluable; they make you feel like family!!! I love love love working with Natalie and would recommend her & her family's fabulous business to anyone & everyone looking for a dependable & reputable jeweler. I cannot recommend them enough (no literally, we get so many compliments EVERYDAY and alwaysss make sure everyone knows who created our stunning pieces - btw we live 4 hours away and would still choose Golden String in a heartbeat). Go create your dream ring with your forever jeweler!!! :)

    I HIGHLY recommend Golden String for any jewelry related needs! My soulmate and I got an engagement ring from Golden String, and they literally made the ring of our dreams !! Natalie was amazing and put so much time and love to make sure we got everything we wanted! They are amazingly sweet, knowledgeable, and friendly! I couldn't recommend them any more !!

    My husband bought my engagement ring here, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful throughout the entire process. We later returned to purchase our wedding bands and were just as impressed. The quality and pricing are outstanding, and their customer service is truly 10/10. Every time we visit, they treat us with such warmth and care!

    I can't say enough about golden string and Natalie! She helped my fiancé design the perfect ring. It is so stunning I can't stop looking at it. They even put our birthstones on the inside of the ring. The quality is unmatched it is the most sparkly ring I have ever seen! I highly recommend

    100,000,000/10 -- Natalie did an INCREDIBLE job with my ring! I am IN LOVE with it, and we are so, so, so grateful we put our trust in her. To start, she is incredibly responsive and efficient. We got an appointment right away and had the chance to experiment with different ideas and styles. She wasn't pushy at all, and I felt completely at ease--it just felt right! By the second appointment, we had finalized our decision. The entire process was seamless, and she was so patient with me, an insufferable perfectionist. She works with the highest quality diamonds, each with the ultimate sparkle. Natalie can execute an style of ring you want. My ring is quite different from her usual designs, and it really shows her incredible range. I chose an emerald-cut ring with two vertical baguettes on each side. I brought her a picture from a very high-end designer, and Natalie recreated it to look even better than what I showed her--and for a fraction of the cost. She somehow made the design we envisioned even more elegant and dainty than the original, nailing all the proportions perfectly. Her attention to detail is why I recommend her to anyone as particular as me. The ring is timeless, elegant, and truly a perfectionist's dream. My fiancé keeps saying that he never guessed he would love staring at it almost as much as I do She absolutely knocked it out of the park! After all, I'm pretty sure she mentioned she was a Virgo! ;) Trust me--you're in great hands!!!

    Natalie's work is STUNNING. She is an artist. She has a wonderful eye, is a great listener, and has spot-on intuition. These skills really elevate the experience at Golden String. If you happen to be shopping for an engagement ring, she brings a very calming presence to what could be a potentially stressful situation. Purchasing a big ticket item like this can be feel a little pressurized, especially if you don't know much about jewelry and you're planning on wearing this daily for a looooong time. Natalie is patient and supportive. There's no pressure, no intense sales tactics, no rush. With purchases like this, I generally like to get opinions from the professional (this is what they do for a living after all). Natalie will absolutely share her expertise, which I deeply appreciate. I trust her implicitly. She is authentic, honest, and clearly very skilled at what she does. When we designed my ring, she gave feedback about my initial inspo images and, based on her suggestions, we made adjustments so that the ring had every single feature I wanted (and even those I didn't realize I wanted but am so glad to have). I have never been a huge jewelry person, but as soon as I saw my engagement ring, I was like, "Oooooh, I get it now." I'm obsessed. I look down at it every single day and can't believe it's mine. Thank you, thank you, Natalie! Also, I ordered my band with her (OF COURSE), and while I loved it alone, I didn't 1000% feel like it paired with my engagement ring. Natalie was responsive and kind. She worked with me on finding a solution and never made me feel bad for making a change. I'm beyond grateful to have gotten to work with Golden String to design my dream ring. It was a romantic and bonding experience for my partner and I. I've recommended her to all my friends (everyone...I mean everyone...comments on my ring and want to know where it came from). I now have a jeweler (weird to say, but here we are) for life. I find myself looking forward to building my Golden String collection over the decades to come. I'm filled with gratitude that this process has been so pleasant and peaceful. Natalie, you sparkle!

Having been to 5 other appointments, I could see she has a good eye for what the client wants while providing a comfortable and relaxed environment. I did not feel pressured at all to make a decision which I appreciated. When making my decision I mentioned that I wished the train of the dress was longer, and they were able to custom request a longer train for me which was amazing. I highly recommend Luv Bridal, especially if you're looking for a dress around $2K!

I was greeted right away at the front desk and immediately amazed by how stunning the shop is. I absolutely loved the layout and overall atmosphere. The only small thing I would mention is that the lighting is a little lacking. You don't really notice it until you visit another bridal shop, but it is definitely on the darker end. That being said, it's a very minor detail compared to how beautiful the space and experience are overall! My associate, Kristina, was absolutely amazing. She truly bent over backwards to help me customize the dresses and try different things so I could envision exactly how they would look with some of my special requests. She was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and I never once felt pressured or like anyone was being overly "salesy." It genuinely felt like everyone there wanted what was best for me and wanted me to find the right dress. Their appointments are free and their dress costs start at $1,500 which was a big reason I wanted to visit. Kristina and the entire Luv Bridal team made both me and my girls feel so welcome, comfortable, and taken care of. I'm so glad I chose Luv Bridal for my first bridal appointment and ended up coming back to say yes to the dress.

Since the Asian employee was busy, the Latina employee initially helped us. However, when two other customers walked in, the Latina employee stopped assisting us and focused on them instead. We were left waiting without anyone acknowledging us or checking if we needed help. It felt like the other customers were receiving much better service. I had already tried on a couple of hair pieces and didn't want to remove them myself because I was afraid of damaging them, so I waited for someone to assist me. Once the Asian employee finished with her customer, I asked for help. She was kind, patient, and helped me choose a hair piece. I had also planned to purchase earrings, but after the experience, I decided not to. I ended up purchasing only the hair piece. While the quality was nice, I personally found the items to be overpriced. A funny part of the experience was that the customers the Latina employee left us for didn't end up buying anything, despite her providing them with much better customer service than she provided us. I don't know why our experience was so different, but it honestly made me wonder if she had judged us based on appearances because we weren't given the same level of attention or courtesy. If you're shopping with a budget under $100, this may not be the right place for you, and it could save you time to shop elsewhere. Unfortunately, the lack of acknowledgment and inconsistent customer service left a bad impression. Because of that, I don't plan on returning.

    Horrible experience from the moment I walked in…read more My mom and I walked in smiling, excited for my bridal appointment. Instead of being welcomed, the front desk staff laughed, and one of them asked, "What are you doing here?" I replied, "I have an appointment," and they all laughed again. Looking back, I should have walked out then, but I decided to give them a chance. I was told I had to wait because no one was available to help me, even though there were four staff members standing at the front. I was told to look through the racks for dresses while I waited. Since it was my first time shopping for a wedding dress, I didn't know the process. Later, I noticed signs everywhere saying not to walk through the aisles, so my mom and I stood to the side and waited. After about 20 minutes, someone finally came to help us. She immediately asked which dresses I wanted to try on. I explained that I had no idea because this was my first bridal appointment and I was hoping for some guidance. She seemed visibly annoyed. She pulled a few dresses, and one of them was absolutely beautiful--I genuinely loved it. However, the overall attitude made me uncomfortable. At one point, she told me the dress was around $5,000 and then asked, "Can you afford it?" I replied, "Yes, I can." After that, I noticed other staff members gathering around and suddenly walking by to compliment how beautiful the dress looked on me. It felt very insincere. Even though I loved the dress, I decided not to purchase it. Buying a wedding dress is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I didn't feel confident moving forward with a boutique where I felt unwelcome and judged. I politely ended my appointment and left. As I was walking out, I heard one of the employees say, "I told you they weren't going to buy it." That confirmed I had made the right decision. Thankfully, I found my dream dress at a wonderful bridal boutique in Costa Mesa, where I was treated with kindness, respect, and genuine excitement. The difference in customer service was night and day. Every bride deserves to feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.
