Bravo helped me buy my wife of 30 years a beautiful new diamond ring. We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Raven and she presented so many wonderful options to go with. She did a terrific job recommending design options that looked best on my wife's hand. In short I'm going back soon to visit bravo to get their help in redesigning and repurposing the old ring.. Thanks Bravo Jewellers you really earned that award! Rick from Carlsbad

Bravo is truly incredible. I honestly don't even have the words. Katherine was an absolute saint…read moreand helped make a lifelong dream come true. I came in with a very special vision for my engagement ring and wanted to incorporate my maternal family members into a timeless design. We stopped by Bravo on a whim, with no intention of committing to anything, just to browse and gather ideas. From the moment we met Katherine, we were completely won over. She listened carefully, absorbed every detail of our feedback, and helped us bring the vision to life. I shared that I wanted to incorporate diamonds from both of my grandmothers' rings, and she absolutely exceeded every expectation. After trying on a few different shapes, we scheduled a second visit the following week. When we returned, Katherine had prepared full 3D renderings of three different designs based solely on what I had described verbally. She even had wax molds of all three so I could try on the shapes and sizes to truly understand how the ring would feel before finalizing the design. My fiancé ultimately surprised me with the ring of my dreams, and it was everything I could have ever hoped for. The centerpiece is a stunning, substantial oval diamond, with my grandmothers' diamonds beautifully cascading along the band. It is truly the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I am beyond grateful for the care, creativity, and dedication the Bravo team put into every step of this process.

Replaced my wife's diamond with a rock 3x the size of original. Very fair prices. Also bought and gave me immediate credit for random gold pieces I had from old rings. Really beautiful work. No upselling, just did what I asked, gave me options in case I wanted to change. Surprised my wife with the upgrade, he suggested I wait and make sure she was good with it. I had it done anyway, wife loves the new ring! Cons: nothing really, you do need to make an appt but he replies to text right away and gives a 4hr window. SO GLAD TO FINALLY FIND A GOOD JEWELER AGAIN!!!! Highly recommend, which you don't see a lot from me.

I have been meaning to update my review after a truly horrendous experience. I am mixed on how I…read morefeel because it could have been only coming from the woman working the counter and not the owner or the jeweler. I had been going to Famulare for a decade, and had many pieces worked on or created here. I had dropped off two watches my husband inherited from his late brother, they were sentimental, and I had also dropped off a ring that I needed a stone reset in. I commute and would have needed to pickup in one trip on a weekend. A woman working called because the watches were done, and she wanted them picked up immediately during the week even though my ring wasn't ready. I called to tell her I commute, and can't come during their business hours. She was very agitated and said they can't hold the watches in their safe until the ring was completed and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable with not being able to pickup like they wouldn't hold my watches safely. I asked over two or three calls to pickup my order on the weekend which she pressured me to come during the week despite not even being able to get there in time. It's almost like she wanted me to take time off work which was outlandish. When I made it there a couple of days later, thank god my ring was done and I could leave and never return. Although the other staff was apologetic, I told them what damage her behavior did and that I don't think I would return knowing they don't value the customer's time or even make the customer feel like our valuables were being kept safe. Not sure if I will return, they comped my fee which I didn't ask for but I am not sure I would bring anything else in. It's a shame. Ten years and I'd referred people and one person soured my experience.
