We visited several small, family-owned jewelers while designing our dream engagement ring, and…read morealthough we ultimately chose to work with another jeweler, we wanted to share our experience here as well. We appreciated the help we received from Elena and Darya who were kind and pleasant to work with. However, our interaction with Fanya was off putting and left us feeling uncomfortable. During our visit, she spoke very confidently about the history of mining diamonds in a way that did not align with well-documented historical information we are privy to. The conversation felt dismissive of a serious subject and it made it difficult for us to feel confident moving forward with such an important purchase. When choosing a jeweler for something as meaningful as an engagement ring, trust and transparency matter a lot. While we respect that others may have different experiences, this interaction ultimately led us to continue our search elsewhere. Especially after noticing many of their negative reviews revolved around the owners daughter, this was concerning to us. We wish the business the best, but wanted to share our honest experience for others who are doing the same research we were.

A few months ago my boyfriend and I started looking for engagement rings. I really wanted an old…read moreTiffany's setting that I had seen many years ago, but I couldn't find anyone selling a ring like that. I didn't want to compromise so I knew I needed it custom made. I researched online and saw that Willow Glen Diamond Company made custom rings, so we casually stopped in to talk to them. Tina (she is so sweet!) talked to us about what we wanted and then introduced us to Terri who sat down with us to educate us about ring shopping. We were amazed by her knowledge and honesty. She was clearly not pushing a sale. It was obvious that she wanted to help us regardless of whether we bought from her. We had intended to "interview" several different stores before making a choice, but after we walked out the door my boyfriend said exactly what I was thinking, "we aren't going to look anywhere else, this is the place and I trust Terri." Our trust (and even friendship!) continued to grow with Terri and we picked out diamonds and designed the ring. I have never seen a ring more stunning in my life. It turned out even better than I imagined. I thought a custom ring would come close to what I wanted but this exceeded what I was even dreaming of. I don't know how that's possible but I'm in love with my ring and so grateful that I found WGDC. Thank you so much, Terri and team, for making this ring come to life!

During the pandemic, I thought the store had closed. I was so sad. Maybe they did close temporarily, I don't know. However, I was thrilled to learn they had re-opened their shop on Main St. just a few blocks away! Why didn't anyone tell me!!! I finally visited at their "new" location a few days after Christmas. Azuca has retained the same charm and whimsy that their original store did. It is beautifully merchandised which made me want to linger and look at everything! I was hoping to find some mezuzahs, which I had seen in their store before. Unfortunately, I did not see any. Maybe on my next visit?!!! I'll definitely be back!

A few months later I got married and one day while taking a shower the ring fell off. I went back to the store to get the ring resized; the owner wanted to charge me $300. I went home and thought about... Why do I have to pay if he told me it fit? I decided to speak to him about it when I went to pick it up. I told him that he had previously told me that the ring was a good fit. His response was that he gave me a good deal on the ring. Does that make sense? I mean, maybe he did give me a good deal but what does that have to do with the part where you told me the ring fit even though it didn't? The other part that bothered me was when he told me the charge was $399... What happened to the $300?? When I questioned this, he said the cost of gold had gone up. Two questions: 1. Gold went up 33% in the last four weeks? 2. What does the price of gold have to do with downsizing a ring? To me, integrity is everything. I won't be shopping here again.

I have some jewelry from my late mother that I've been bringing around to various jewelers in the area to get evaluated. Every one has been polite in explaining to me the differences in gold, silver and costume jewelry. Until yesterday. I went in early since I had a question on a set (necklace, bracelet and earrings) and didn't want to be there when they were busy. Mom always liked them too & I thought she'd said she'd had Dad buy her that set from Yellow Brick Road. I told one gentleman that I wanted it appraised. He said "Gary, I'm sorry to bother you but I need you out here." Bother? Wait. Did he just imply me and my question were a bother? Gary made it clear to me that it wasn't fine jewelry and he'd never have sold such a thing. Wow. Ok, sorry I BOTHERED you. I smiled and thanked them and promised myself I'd never be a bother to them again. And if you have any questions on jewelry, don't bother them either.
