    Engagement ring
    Sam M.

    The team at Joe Escobar is incredible, especially Matt and Michael. We bought my wife's engagement ring and my wedding band here, and they were helpful, kind and transparent throughout the whole process. I never felt pressured to buy anything which I've felt at many other jewelers. I recently lost my wedding band and they were quick to help me get an exact replacement, which my home insurance covered. Highly recommend Joe Escobar, they will take of you!

    Disappointing
    Ell B.

    My husband and I ended up buying our wedding rings here, and I definitely don't recommend Joe Escobar's. We looked at a number of jewelers but ended up choosing this place because of a style of Christian Bauer ring we fell for. They were matching rose gold and palladium bands in alternating waves (see photo). We felt like it symbolized the intertwining our lives, not to mention we are an interracial couple. They were more expensive than the number of the bands at other jewelers that we were alternatively considering, but we decided it was worth the rings we loved. We also went there because we had read on one review that they were gay friendly. We paid for the rings but a couple of weeks later got a call from Escobar's, saying that they weren't going to be able to have the ring made with palladium after all, so they recommended using platinum instead. This was disappointing, but they assured us that the end result would be almost the same. We didn't particularly care what the metals were as long as the visual effect was the same. When we picked up our rings, we were immediately disappointed with how much they didn't resemble the original rings we tried on from the showcase. They assured us that it was simply because the rings were new, and that after a few months of wear, a "patina" would make the platinum stand out more. We were getting married in a few months, so we decided to trust them rather than scrambling to find an alternative in time for the wedding. We regret believing them, because that just turned out to be untrue. Fast forward to now. A year after our wedding and our rings never did have a visible wave like the rings we purchased. We recently went back to Escobar to have our rings polished and we were shocked and frustrated to see that they still had the original rose gold and palladium rings on display in the showcase. What the heck? Turns out that they're still selling them even though that ring is no longer an option. Aka, false advertising. How many more people were they going to disappoint and trick? Even if they had no way of knowing that the palladium was not going to be available for our particular rings, they should have at least updated the case with the offerings that are actually available for future ring buyers. Some other couple is going to come by and fall in love with the rings in the showcase just like we did only for them to be given the same excuses and false promises that they gave to us. I wouldn't recommend shopping with Escobar Diamonds in the first place, but if you were going to choose to do so, don't buy any of the Christian Bauer mixed metals rings. Additionally, when they call you to explain that they're going to have to make adjustments to your order, save yourself the time and frustration by cancelling your order. While we love our wedding rings because they are ours, they will always represent the disappointment and frustration we experienced at Joe Escobar's.

    The wedding ring

    I absolutely recommend coming here. Their showroom is amazing. However, I would like to recommend Maia to design a piece for you. I was a walk-in - no appointment. My goal - to create a bracelet from my wedding ring. This would be a present to me on my 10 year divorcery. Maia was very patient with me and explained some options that could be done. I let her know that there was no rush on this as I wanted to pick it up in August (this was May). She said that would be no problem. She suggested the 'pull' style bracelet - rather than a clasp. I was hesitant at the start, but I'm so glad I listened to her suggestion. I showed her some other pieces of jewelry of mine - to show what I liked. Maia really made a beautiful piece - it is so delicate and complements me and gives new birth to these stones. Thank you!

    My fiancé and I worked with Moriah at Joe Escobar to create the wedding rings of our dreams. After finding the ring I thought my fiancé would love, we came back to customize them to our liking. We ended up creating matching platinum with black diamonds in the grooves based on other rings we saw. I have shopped here now quite a bit and whether you are looking for something as a gift or as a lifetime piece of jewelry, you will be in great hands with the team at Joe Escobar. I have found all of the people there take the time to get to know you, as well as what you are looking for. We could not have been more happy with our experience and the outcome. Moriah even checks in to ensure the rings are still fitting well and are in tip top shape.

    My perfect diamond ring!

I came back an hour later to pick up my watch and voila the watch was adjusted to be more accurate. Great! However, it was clear that in opening the case back, his tool slipped and caused deep scratching in the case back. When it was brought back to him, fred says when a case back is opened, some damage should be expected! I certainly did not expect damage. After insisting, he polished off the back but the scratches were too deep. Fred then says the deeper scratches weren't caused by him. Now you can trust me or not that fred caused the damage. But Id heavily suggest taking a picture of your stuff prior to work. Because if something happens, he certainly wont do anything about it. And I no longer think he's honest. He should remember his tool slipping and been upfront. Also they have case back opening tools that don't damage the watch. Id suggest fred look into buying that

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.

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!
