The personal touch was so great. I returned for a second custom piece. James and Brian have helped with Wedding Ring years ago. We have returned for 2 custom jewelry pieces.

I found Kanan Design by accident when we moved to Tustin. I needed a couple of simple repairs and I wasn't sure if they would be interested in helping me . Not only were they interested they were so kind and helpful. They design their own jewelry...and will also help you design things that you have in mind. James and Brian are a father and son duo. Each one talented and creative. They turned my mother's engagement ring into a wedding band for my son. They created a necklace from a ring and an earring that was my mother's for my daughter. My husband has bought me many pieces of jewelry from them for different occasions, each unique and one of a kind. When ever I need prongs built up on my engagement ring they are able to help. If you are looking for a special piece of jewelry, you would like to create one or you need anything fixed I highly recommend Kanan Design. James and Brian are not only talented but kind and easy to talk to. read more

James and Bryan have created all my favorite pieces, most of which I wear on a daily basis. Everything from a more statement cocktail ring with black onyx, gold earrings, my wedding band, and multiple necklaces....to pieces I made for special events like the cuff earrings to accompany my moms sapphire and diamond studs for my wedding day and a special charm with a vintage feel for the birth of my daughter. They are true artists and experts of their craft, and so attentive to what your are looking for or want to create. I have come to them with rough ideas of what I want and the collaboration and creativity to create the final pieces is incredible to be a part of - they are so talented! It's clear they care deeply about their clients, and I think all of them are clients and friends for life. read more

Back in January of 2020, around the dating anniversary month of me and my girlfriend, I began my search for the perfect ring! After 5 years of dating and several weddings later I knew this year was going to be my moment to shine or she was gonna walk! Haha. I searched all over LA, OC, San Diego. Asking multiple friends where they got their rings, trying to find that something special, leave her speechless. What I didn't realize, was that I was going to find something even greater, in my own backyard. I grew up in Tustin walking around the old town area and knowing all the things; music lessons, KBBQ, Italian food, engraved lettering. It never occurred to me that this would be the exact location where I would find exactly what I was looking for! When I entered that room finally in October of last year, I still had no idea what I wanted it to look like! I just didn't want it looking like anything else! Bryan was amazing! He walked me through the ring process. Budgeting. Going over different types of rings, stones, sizing, etc! Made me feel like a pro by the end of it really! The final result was something better than I could have ever dreamed of and I'm truly grateful to Bryan and his dad for coming up with such a beautiful ring that we both will cherish for the rest of our lives. read more

James and Bryan are legends! I came to them with an idea for a custom engagement ring and wedding band. They are extremely knowledgeable and beyond helpful, absolutely amazing people. Both rings are stunning! Very reasonably priced for such impeccable craftsmanship and quality. I could not be any happier with the end result! They truly have mastered their craft. My family and I will be using them for many years to come. I can not recommend them enough! read more

James is a true artist. 19 years ago he designed my wedding ring with a simple solitaire and Tiffany style band. This year my husband and i celebrated our 18th anniversary. We took my ring to James in hopes that he could design something amazing. He removed my original solitaire from my original setting and designed a whole new ring around it. My jaw dropped when i saw what he had created for me. I cannot stop looking at my ring. It's absolutely gorgeous. My original setting was kept the same, but instead of a diamond we replaced it with a gorgeous pink tourmaline and offset the stone. I will never use any other jeweler other than James. read more

Kanan Design provides top class craftsmanship, true attention to detail, and their work is of the utmost quality! James and Bryan are true artisans. I have been coming to Kanan design for 5 years. James helped me select a style/theme of engagement ring and crafted a custom ring for my wife using a diamond that was given to me by late grandfather. For my wedding ring, I had a very specific design in mind. James provided precise renderings with measurements that gave me a clear view of what the completed project would look like. Bryan then crafted an amazing ring that involved a row of diamonds surrounded by a white gold inlay on a yellow gold ring. The craftsmanship and quality are as good as it gets. I have worn this ring while deep sea fishing, harvesting sea urchins, and even cliff diving and the diamonds are as secure and fixed as the day I first picked the ring up from Kanan Design. I cannot speak highly enough about James and Bryan's work. Simply put, they are the best! read more

Absolutely amazing service and artistry! I came in with a ring setting that has been in my family for generations, and asked them to completely redesign it. They did everything I asked them and more. They took their time and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. They were also patient with me when I changed my Mind about things. I highly recommend Kanan design!!! read more

I had been looking for a place to clean, polish and dip my ring since I moved; but every where I went had to keep it for over a week! Found this place while walking around downtown Tustin and decided to give it a shot. They did a great job! And I love that they are mom and popish. I'll be back! Thanks! read more

My family has been going to James and Bryan for years now, and recommended I go there when I decided to propose to my girlfriend. I showed James and Bryan a sample picture of a ring and we discussed exactly what I was looking for. They walked me through every step of the process, showing me the Diamond and a model of the setting before creating the ring. They were extremely helpful and honest during the entire process. The ring is incredible, with great craftsmanship and high attention to detail. I am extremely please with how everything turned out, and will definitely be returning to James and Bryan in the future for any jewelry needs! read more

My husband has known James a long time through cycling, and when it was time to get engaged, it was a given that we were going to see him! I love vintage, delicate pieces, and I wanted a Tacori-style ring. James looked at a picture of the style I liked and made a number of suggestions to customize it -- including larger diamonds! (YAY!) He sent me (no, not my husband...me...it's my ring and I'm kind of a control freak) AutoCad drawings at every step of the design process and it was so cool to see the piece come to life. He also designed the band to go with it, along with my husband's platinum wedding band. I received a second band after having our first child...all so gorgeous and SO reasonably priced I couldn't believe it. In case I wasn't spoiled enough, my husband also worked with James to design a sapphire-and-diamond necklace for me for a birthday. James had a good idea of my aesthetic from the ring-design process, and he absolutely nailed the necklace design. Such gorgeous pieces, and I feel like kind of a rock star having my own custom jewelry! James is a really great guy and so incredibly talented as an artist. We highly recommend him for your jewelry needs! read more

Kanan Design - I love our rings! - Jewelry Near Me - Tustin, California

I had a custom engagement ring made by Bryan Kanan. I went to several other jewelers and just didn't feel comfortable. The Kanan family understood, like many guys, I was totally clueless. They guided me through the entire start to finish and my fiancé couldn't be happier with the results so I am too!! Thanks again, guys. read more

We've been coming to James for years. First, with my mom's family Emerald, which, together, him and her designed to be a beautiful family heirloom that will be cherished for years to come. More recently, my husband and I had our engagement/wedding rings custom designed by James. With pictures in hand, James saw our dreams and made them into reality. He worked with us not only on design, but stone selection and price as well. Not a day goes by where my engagement ring is not complimented and praised for design and its vintage-inspired look. As you can see with the engagement ring pictured, the detail is flawlessly amazing. The men's wedding ring was also executed perfectly, including the small last minute small "red, white, & blue" stones on the bottom of the ring. Price is always right, and James creates lasting, quality jewelry. If you want one-of-a-kind, beautiful, quality design done by an honest and reliable team (James & his son) you want Kanan Design. I will continue to come back for all and any jewelry needs. Thank you so much for our beautiful and cherished jewelry. read more

The best father and son duo! They are the best at their job! Love my wedding ring, my bands, and my earrings!!

They are true experts in what they do. I got a custom engagement ring that they helped me bring from her fantasy into reality. The ring came out prefect and extremely good quality at a very good price. They're friendly, knowledgeable, and very good at their craft. I'll be returning for more in the future. I wish I could add a picture to this review to show you how great the ring came out. read more

My fiancé had my ring custom-made here and the ring is gorgeous! I can't stop looking at it throughout the day! I needed the ring to be resized so I got to visit Kanan Design. James and Bryan were really cheerful and welcoming! I really appreciate that James took the time to explain sizing and water retention because that helped me better understand how much I wanted to resize the ring. While I was there, I looked at the other pieces of jewelry and they're all stunning. I left my ring there and it was ready in a very reasonable amount of time! I highly recommend Kanan Design for the beauty of their jewelry, the craftsmanship, and the welcoming environment. read more

When my fiancé and I talked about an engagement, I knew I wanted James and Bryan to design our rings. My family (grandmother and mother) have been using James as a jeweler for over 30 years. My fiancé brought in a sapphire pendant that was my grandmothers and they designed a gorgeous engagement ring that I couldn't be happier with. James and his son are extremely easy and fun to work with and helpful in choosing materials that are practical and unique. Thanks James and Bryan! You've earned yet another life long customer and extended our family tradition! :) read more

Amazing designs. They have done several pieces for me. Always extremely pleased with the talent and creativity.

I was talking with a friend of mine and I mentioned I would be proposing soon. I told her I was thinking Tiffany and she said that I could get the same thing custom made for half the price. I was a little skeptical but gave James a call and she was right. I showed him a photo of what I was thinking of getting with the same specs and it was around 40% less. The rings came out amazing and I also had him make my wife a pair of earrings my wife would wear on our wedding day. He actually made 2 different pairs so I can have a choice. James is a great guy with a lot of passion and knows what he is doing. You just give him an idea of what you want with a budget and he will give you what you want and more. read more

Loved working with James Kanan. He was upfront, made sure we felt comfortable with the design and prices, and was very personable. He's been in the business a long time and is so knowledgeable about what he's doing. He had the ring finished very quickly and it was everything we wanted it to be. I've been wearing this ring a couple of months now and it looks the same as the day I got it. Very nice quality and on top of that more inexpensive than going to big name/chain brands. Will definitely come back for any jewelry in the future! read more

Kanan Design - This is after months of wear...looks like the day I got it! - Jewelry Near Me - Tustin, California

I went to James to have him design a ring, using diamonds from old pieces I don't wear anymore (from the ex). He and his son made me the most perfect ring- using my stones- and it exceeded my expectations by far. They listened to my ideas and gave great suggestions. I now have a one-of-a-kind piece that I will wear for years to come! If you need anything made or repaired, he is very honest and helpful! read more

We were fortunate enough to meet James and Bryan almost ten years ago. They are extremely creative, and I especially enjoy wearing things that are custom and "one of a kind". Often, my jewelry is mistaken by others as made by very famous folks, such as Yerman. I happen to think that Yerman is a step-down from Kanan!! My husband has purchased many things for me through the years...some were things that were already created and "on the shelves"...others he commissioned and they were created just for me. I have a beautiful necklace that James made and incorporated my late mother's diamond ring that is one of my favorites; plus, it was one of the first "cathedral" pieces he made! These guys are the best kept secret in Orange County. You must go see them if you want quality jewelry at more than fair prices!! read more

James and Bryan are true artisans. They are very talented and creative. I was blown away with the final product and get compliments from everyone around me. The ring they made for me definitely will be a family heirloom. I feel lucky I found them! read more
