Wedding band

Picked up our wedding rings yesterday and can't wait to wear mine. We wanted something different and to support a local PS business, we found both at Hephaestus. Jeff is a great guy, showed us varying options in varying styles and price ranges, and let us make the right decision. He had us come in a few times to check our ring sizes to make sure we had the right fit. His selection of jewelry is unique and beautiful. My fiancé has already made me commit to the black diamond option in 5 years, so we'll be back. Thanks Jeff!

This jewelry shop is EXCELLENT! Best selection of wedding rings I've seen in Southern California. The men's rings are stunning and unique. I have come to this shop for repairs on gold chains and have been so impressed with the flawless results..thank you so much Jeff!!

We will be honored to have these pieces with us for our lifetime.  Thank you!

I love this jewelry store, the designs are incredible! Two years ago, my boyfriend and I were walking past Hephaestus and I was pulled in by my boyfriend's curiosity. We were a new couple at the time and the ring designs really stuck out. The owner/designer, Jef Timms, was very helpful and we found two rings that we couldn't stop thinking about. Two years went by and I knew the time was right to propose so I found myself back at Hephaestus. Luckily, the two ring designs were still there, my boyfriend said yes (technically, he said "of course"), and we will be honored to have these pieces with us for our lifetime. Thank you!

I had a belt I loved but after 6 people told me to forget it..Jeff said I can do it. Fixed to perfection!!!! Thank you Jeff

From start to finish, our experience was absolutely exceptional!…read more My husband initially reached out about a Rolex we were interested in, and Christy was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. Since she would be off on the day we were available, she connected us with Nicole, who took amazing care of us during our visit. Nicole was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely excited to help us. She spent time showing us several Rolex models, answered all of our questions, and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress free. Every team member we interacted with was welcoming, kind, and professional. When we finally received the call that our watch had arrived, it was from our original sales associate, Christy. She coordinated everything perfectly with my husband, and when we made the trip to pick it up, the experience exceeded every expectation. The watch was exactly what we had hoped for, and the pickup felt like a true celebration. We were greeted with the sweetest balloons, treats, champagne glasses, and such positive energy. The attention to detail was incredible. Christy even offered to take photos for us, making the occasion feel even more special and giving us memories we'll always cherish. Purchasing a Rolex is a milestone, and both Christy and Nicole made it an unforgettable one. Their professionalism, communication, and genuine care made the entire process seamless, exciting, and fun. We couldn't be happier and look forward to working with them again in the future. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in her clients, ask for Christy. She turned a dream purchase into an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Christy, for going above and beyond. And thank you, Nicole, for helping make the journey so enjoyable from the beginning. The location is absolutely beautiful, and the level of customer service is truly second to none.

Marisa, in particular, was an absolute pleasure to work with. I brought in an important jewelry repair that required both expertise and attention to detail, and they handled it flawlessly.

Throughout the process, Marisa kept me informed, answered all of my questions with patience and professionalism, and made me feel completely confident that my jewelry was in the best hands. What truly sets Smoke Tree Jewelers apart is the combination of outstanding technical expertise, professionalism, responsiveness, and overall value. It is rare to find a business that delivers such a high level of service while making every customer feel genuinely appreciated.

I stopped in to this store by fluke; I had lunched nearby and had a very expensive ($30K) diamond…read morebracelet with me that needed fixing. While the man behind the counter helped another customer I had a look around at the estate jewelry, which in my opinion was mainly unremarkable pieces. I did find one necklace I liked, a white gold & diamond antique brooch modified to be a necklace, which was reasonably priced at $5,250. It was the only item in the store that had character in my opinion. But that is just a matter of my personal taste; I believe the prices here are good for what you get. When it was my turn at the counter, the gentleman looked at my bracelet and pointed out that the bracelet needed a solder on one of the pins. I hesitated at that moment about having him repair it; something told me not to leave my expensive bracelet here. Plus, I knew the estate jeweler I purchased it from would do the repair at no charge. The shop person was very friendly with me and I may go back for the diamond necklace.

Long story short, Edward was able to remove my husband's wedding ring from his finger. Over time…read morethe ring became too small and literally was cutting off his finger. With patience, care and understanding the ring was removed and his finger is still intact. Kristen and Edward thank you for your time and kindness. BTW, their store is beautiful brimming with an incredible collection of gifts. Stop in and say hello.
