I am so disappointed to say that mine and my fiance's experience went from a 5+ star to a one star after my ring broke TWICE within the first 9 months of me owning it (and wearing it completely normally). Throughout the buying experience, my fiance and I loved worked with Set. He was so friendly and helpful and kind. I absolutely LOVE my ring, it is so beautiful, and my fiance felt that the price was fair and Set was fair. However, THREE months after he proposed and I started wearing my ring, I noticed on a random Saturday night that one of the prongs fell off! Out of nowhere, we were just standing in line to get ice cream and I realized the diamond was loose, so I looked closely and saw a prong was missing. My fiance and I freaked out, especially since our engagement party was in two weeks and of course we wanted the ring to be fixed by then. He immediately emailed Set who started off friendly enough and said we could come in and he would take a look, that it was "no problem these things happen". The problem was, we had moved to San Diego. And it WAS a problem for us, because why is the prong falling off after 3 months when I was doing nothing but wearing it (and not even to sleep or shower). So we told him we had moved and asked if we could ship it overnight to him and get reimbursed, and we were so surprised by his response. "You broke the ring and you expect me to pay to ship it".... like we broke it on purpose? Like I had been banging it against a cliff? Again, it had been THREE months!! That is NOTHING, not even normal wear and tear. OF COURSE he should offer to fix it and pay for it because it's his or his manufacturer's fault that it fell off!! Since he wasn't going to pay for shipping, we dcided to just get it fixed locally and that was the end of that. Until.... 6 months after that, I was walking my dog and noticed that the BOTTOM had cracked. I was FURIOUS. Are you kidding me?? My ring is breaking for the second time and it hasn't even been a year??? I'm assuming that it's where I got it resized and the metal was weak, but still... this shouldn't be happening. And again, just normal day to day activities of walking my dog, not anything crazy. This time, we didn't even bother reaching out because of how Set had reacted last time. My fiance is so furious he spent so much money on a ring that has now broken twice, and we will now be worried about breaking from the rest of my life. We are both so disappointed because if we didn't have these two experiences, we would definitely have recommended Set and La Bijouterie to everyone. There is absolutely no way it's normal for an engagement ring to break twice, I've never heard of that before! And i'm not sure if it was a bad batch of rose gold or whatever, but it's still so disheartening. read more

We met Set last weekend to start customizing my engagement ring with my fiancé. He was super knowledgeable and knew the perfect diamond to match our budget WITHOUT asking our budget. It was crazy when we got down to the numbers because we didn't tell him our budget. You really get your money's worth if you choose them. Super excited to pick up the finished ring! We will definitely come back to get our wedding bands here. Thank you, Set! read more

Set @ Bijouterie was very helpful in helping us choose first an engagement ring for complete newbies like us, then also helping us with choosing a wedding band after the engagement went very well! We thought we would have to pay $$$ but he walked us through all the rings in our price range and we came out with one that was both stunning but also didn't break the bank. Thanks Set! read more

Set @ La Bijouterie is everything you need in a jeweler - talented, creative, knowledgeable, and most of all, honest! I came to them prepared to spend $$$ in order to get my engagement ring "just perfect," and he guided me to a more cost-effective route, even though he could have easily taken advantage of my lack of knowledge. The ring stunned my now fiancé, her family, and most everyone that sees it. Beautiful work. I'm also going back to them for my wedding rings. Do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

Loved my experience with Set from the first appointment for an engagement ring to the day I received it and even now when having to resize it a little bit. So personable and awesome how he remembered me after not seeing him for over a year. I will always be a client! read more

We had such a wonderful experience with Set! We had been to a few other jewelers to browse engagement rings together before coming to La Bijouterie, and Set immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable with the entire process. The phase I appointment was a great way to get an idea of ring styles, then my (now fiance) was able to take it from there with future appointments to get a beautiful ring designed. Set was very knowledgeable and helped him work within his budget and communication was very easy. I am in love with my ring! Set truly cares about his customers - we will be returning when it is time to pick out our wedding bands! read more

La Bijouterie - Jewelry Near Me - San Francisco, California

This was the absolutely BEST experience my wife and I have had. Set is such a knowledgeable and professional person, he made the entire process easy, efficient, and fun! We felt at home and at ease with Set's guidance and help. We enjoyed heading to La Bijouterie and learned so much about the industry as well. If there was a ten star rating on Yelp, I would rate this 10/10. Highly recommend Set's service for everybody. Weddings are stressful, and knowing we had someone like Set helping us on this end of the process made our day that much better. Thank you, La Bijouterie! read more

Set was a joy to work with, and great for newly engaged grooms to be. While I'd recommend getting the GIA certification, Set is great at sourcing incredible, ethical diamonds and really working with you on your dream ring and rock. Spending time hanging out and just understanding his method and his immense knowledge also made prepping for my wedding that much better. read more

Set and his team are the best in the business. I probably looked at 10 different jewelry stores for an engagement ring - Cartier, Shreve & Co, Tiffany's, etc before La Bijouterie. It was clear after one conversation with Set that this is where I was going to make our purchase. They care about your relationship, your vision for a ring, and will make sure you get the absolute best value for your money. The stones he can get are of the highest quality and much more affordable than your global retailers. The ring his team made me was the ring of our dreams. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Set and his team were great to work with! I appreciated the small family business feel and the laid back environment they create for their customers. Purchasing an engagement ring can be a stressful process but Set's calm demeanor and knowledge made me feel confident that I was making the right choice for my fiancée. Would highly recommend La Bijouterie! read more

I had my diamond ring reset by La Bijouterie and it turned out beautiful. I was worried and hesitant at first so much so that I shopped around and visited three other jewelers. Set was very patient and sat down with me to discuss what I wanted the ring to look like. We had a 20 minute consultation and by the end I felt at ease to leave my diamond ring. After 2-3 weeks my new diamond setting was ready. It was stunning and I wish I had come to La Bijouterie sooner. Thank you Set and La Bijouterie. read more

Fantastic experience getting an engagement ring at La Bijouterie! I originally came in to look at diamonds - I had done a fair amount of research, knew exactly what I wanted, and was shopping around. Not only did Set have the diamond I was looking for, but it was at a good price. I decided to book another appointment with Set to describe the engagement ring I wanted and the image and silicon renderings turned out exactly how I imagined it. I proposed in Hawaii earlier this year and my fiancé loves the ring! Officially on my way to happy wife = happy life! read more

La Bijouterie - Jewelry Near Me - San Francisco, California

What can I say? La Bijouterie is the best!! I fell in love with La Bijouterie after seeing their Instagram page a few years ago. At the time I was no where near getting engaged, but hoped I would someday get to visit their store. Fast forward a few years and I'm happy to say that I was lucky to be able to go with my boyfriend to try on rings at La Bijouterie. Set and his team were so helpful and kind to us and we immediately felt welcome. Set talked us through the process and helped us look at different shapes and styles to see what we liked. From there, my boyfriend (now fiancè) took over the process and worked with Set on the ring design and etc. We are so happy with the quality of the ring and the service that Set and his team provide. I frequently get compliments on my ring and have had many people ask for Set's info. The quality of Set's work and his eye for diamonds truly stands out. We could not be more pleased with the ring and love stopping by for cleanings to say hi to Set and team. Highly recommend La Bijouterie!! :) read more

La Bijouterie - My beautiful ring designed by Set! - Jewelry Near Me - San Francisco, California

Set was so great to work with, he is an extremely knowledgable person in the diamond business and is also kind and caring in the way that he interacts with his customers. He helped us tremendously during the selection process for the diamond and the ring, teaching me about the different characteristics of diamonds and what contributes to the price of a diamond. He also doesn't try to just sell you the most expensive one, he wants you to love the piece that you buy, and he'll take you step by step until you find the diamond and ring that you want. The quality of his work is top-notch, he only obtains high-quality diamonds, and the turnaround time is pretty quick. We loved Set's work so much that we ended up going back to him for my wife's wedding band. My wife loves her engagement ring and wears it everyday, along with the wedding band. His prices are also great, they are not inflated like Tiffany's, etc. I have recommended him to friends and will continue to do so, hope everyone checks him out when making such an important life-decision as buying an engagement/wedding ring! read more

Set was amazingly helpful and made buying an engagement ring an extremely pleasant experience. From the get-go he took time to educate me on the diamond market, the various options at my disposal and was ultimately able to track down a less common configuration that was exactly what we wanted. Despite my changing the specifications last minute (I was unintentionally a diva ;), he handled the entire situation positively and professionally and helped create a stunning ring that my wife absolutely loves. I strongly recommend Set and his services. read more

Set has a great shop and his knowledge of diamonds and settings is not only superb but he is welcoming and will help you design the ring, not just sell you what's in the display case. You will be happy with the ring buying experience with him! read more

Set was transparent, thoughtful, responsive, and helped us get exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend.

My fiancé bought my dream engagement ring here, and we love Set!! Their work is incredible and we are always treated like family, Set always greets us with a big hug, offers to clean the ring, etc. We know we will be taken care of should we need anything in the future. Their craftsmanship and customer service cannot beat, plus my ring was appraised at a value higher than we paid, which is always a good thing! He also re-sized my ring for free, as it was a little big when I first got it. Thank you La Bijouterie! read more

I am not a regular Yelp reviewer, but I want to acknowledge Set for the outstanding work by him and his team over the past few months. Set made the process of finding and buying an engagement ring smooth and comfortable from the very start. I can't say enough good things about the experience with him from start to finish, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for the perfect engagement ring. I visited Set with my now fiancee to get an idea of her style in 2019. From the beginning Set was extremely personal, showed a real interest in our background and our plans, and really stood out to us as a genuine person. I had a large number of questions and concerns as a first-time ring buyer, and Set addressed all of them with patience, professionalism, and transparency. His format of private one-on-one meetings was the perfect venue for building a relationship and allowing real understanding of what we were looking for. After selection of the diamond, Set and I worked on multiple iterations of the setting, and his team generously and patiently received my thoughts and feedback on the detailed renderings. He was exceptional in communicating regularly and went far out of his way to accommodate my special requests in payment and delivery schedule. We absolutely love what Set crafted, as do our friends, family, and coworkers, and I am fortunate to feel like I played a small role in making the final product what it is. Set is outstanding and unique in what he does. We will be back soon, and I would recommend him without hesitation to any prospective engagement ring or jewelry buyers. read more

I purchased an engagement ring at La Bijouterie and would recommend it to anyone in the Bay Area! From the first visit, Set was incredibly helpful and did not push to make a sale. He helped educate me on the options and found the perfect diamond for me and my fiancée! The prices are very competitive with online retailers but you get the added benefits of supporting a local small business, seeing your diamond in person, customizing the ring you've dreamed of, and working with a great team! read more

La Bijouterie - Jewelry Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was in the market for an Engagement ring and narrowed down on LaBijouterie as one of the potential stops. Right from the moment I walked in, Set was incredibly personable and warm - he walked me through his entire process of what all factors needed to be decided in the ring selection process. I already had a loose design +defined budget in my mind. Set walked me through the designs his team has created in the past and was able to very easily accommodate my design requirements (the finalization was done over email). Since I was trying to get my ring in an expedited timeline, Set was incredibly helpful in helping me picking out the right diamond that works for my budget and would also wow my fiancée. Having finalized my most details with regards to the diamond right then and there, Set was super responsive over emails to get my design finalized and he delivered well before my timeline as well. The ring in the end was perfectly in line with what my fiancée wanted and I have to say kudos to Set and his team for helping making this dream possible. read more

I can't say enough good things about Set and Steph at La Bijouterie! I came to LB looking for an engagement ring for my now fiancee and they helped me design an absolutely stunning, gorgeous custom ring. Set sat down and helped me find something in my price range and explained what to look for in a diamond. Even when I waffled back and forth on what I wanted, Set was very patient and made the whole process so smooth and stress-free. Of course, both LB and I didn't expect a pandemic to hit in the middle of the process and force a lockdown in SF. When that happened, Set was incredibly communicative and always updated me about the status of when my ring would be ready. And when I decided I didn't want to wait for the lockdown to end to propose, he worked with me to find a temporary but beautiful solution to propose right away. Not only am I so happy with the engagement ring designed here and the price range, but the customer service provided by Set and Steph is unbeatable. Even during the city's lockdown, LB's communication and willingness to help was amazing. Thank you so much for a beautiful ring and an incredibly smooth and fun process! I highly recommend La Bijouterie for anyone looking for a beautiful engagement ring and a smooth ring-finding process. read more

We have made multiple trips to Set now and have had wonderful experiences each time. We've had no hesitation in referring our friends over too. We initially went in not sure what sort of engagement ring we wanted. Set was patient and thorough in showing us multiple design ideas. He drafted a custom engagement ring within our budget and taste preferences, and we couldn't have been more pleased! The ring gets compliments on a regular basis for its subtle elegance. He was really flexible with payment and timing of picking up the ring, and was always available to discuss details. We then went back for our wedding bands and went through a similarly wonderful process. Set helped us design two different wedding bands to complement the original engagement ring. I originally feared the process of ring shopping but Set made it smooth and hassle free. To top it all off, the price point is very competitive especially given the quality of the craftsmanship. La Bijouterie with Set is our go-to jeweler and our first recommendation for anyone who needs one! read more

La Bijouterie - Jewelry Near Me - San Francisco, California

Where do I begin? I don't leave reviews often but my experience with Set was one of the best buying experiences I ever experienced. Here's why: Buying a ring can be stressful and for me looking for the highest quality ring for the best possible price I looked everywhere. 10+ stores, and online. Set not only is a true expert and knowledgeable, he personalizes the experience for you & your loved ones. He also makes sure the rings are the highest quality grade and makes sure to fit within your budget. There is no other place in the Bay Area where you can get this kind of quality within your budget. Like I mentioned, I looked everywhere and can truly ssay Set & his team are the best I've interacted with. There's a lot of confusion in this market. Don't waste your time, make an appointment today w/Set! read more

Set has been such a dream to work with from start to finish. When my boyfriend and I knew we were ready to take the next step, we made the decision to go together to a few places so I could find my ring size and try on different styles of rings. We initially went to a chain company so I could find my ring size. The experience was awful. It was Crowded and rushed and the person helping us was so not in tune with what we were asking for. At the end he asked are you ready to purchase ?? Needless to say, our search continued for a more mom and pop jeweler. That is when we stumbled upon La Bijouterie. What initially caught our eye was the amazing reviews online. We decided to give it a go, and made an appointment with Set. From start to finish he has been so wonderful to work with. He sat us down, really wanted to hear what we were looking for, and kept everything within budget. He was not pushy, nor rude in any way. I went for the initial steps with my boyfriend to find my ring size, look at different styles, and then my boyfriend took it from there with Set to design the perfect ring. When it was time for my boyfriend to propose the ring was even better than I could have ever imagined or dreamed of. Just stunning. I often get compliments from complete strangers on my ring, asking what jeweler we used. So so happy with the results. Would highly recommend :)! We will be back come time for us to try on bands ! read more

Amazing work, I could not be happier with the engagement ring. And more importantly, my fiance absolutely loves it. Set is awesome. His deep expertise is coupled with an ability to take in direction and translate that into the perfect ring. He stepped me through every factor to consider, educating me along the way. I fortunately had some great information on what my fiance wanted that her friend had emailed to me which I shared with Set. He read through it on the spot and put together the perfect ring. Set also stayed within budget and got the ring done well ahead of when I needed it. He also kept me up-to-date on each step. We have gone back to Set for our wedding bands which also have been great. We could not be happier with Set! I would recommend him to anyone! read more

I could not recommend La Bijouterie any more highly after working with Set and his partner over the past year on engagement ring and wedding bands. Set has very deep expertise and they made the whole experience feel very welcoming and stress-free. They worked with us and made our vision come through and we could not be more happy with the outcome. They also made sure we found the right diamonds for US and not what was best for them. They're also just really nice people. They made sure they were able to meet all timelines with us going through both the engagement and the wedding. This was something I had never gone through before, but they made it feel like anything but venturing into the great unknown. Thank you La Bijouterie! read more

I had no experience buying engagement rings and was quite afraid of being taken advantage of. All those fears disappeared when I first met Set and sensed his wonderful and genuine energy. Set was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and I never felt rushed or under pressure. I had lots of questions and Set was able to answer all of them. In addition, he helped finding the perfect ring, showing me different options and explaining where I would receive more value for my money. I could not thank Set enough. He transformed the most expensive/intensive purchase of my life into one of the best experiences possible. I would recommend him to anyone looking to find good quality jewelry in the bay. read more

We first worked with Set when designing my engagement ring and we loved everything about the process and the final product, so we knew we were coming back to choose our wedding rings. We came in about 6 months before the wedding to get an idea of what we both wanted, and then came back about a month before the wedding to choose our rings. Set is super fun to work with, very knowledgeable, and makes the decision process so easy. The rings came in quickly and we were able to pick them up a few weeks before the wedding. We are so happy with the final products and will definitely return to La Bijouterie in the future! read more

These guys are the best! I came in with my then-fiancé looking to change my engagement ring setting (for the second time, it's a miracle he married me) because my current setting did not allow a wedding band to sit flush. They helped me pick out one of their gorgeous designs that we could reset my diamond into. Even better, they were able to use the smaller diamonds from my previous setting to make my wedding band! It turned out stunning and I get compliments all the time for the subtle hidden diamond wrap under my center stone. While my ring is beautiful, they really outdid themselves on my husband's ring. I asked for platinum outside, rose gold inside, and then a white gold turkey inlaid in the inside (long story). I figured I'd see if they could do it and lo and behold they were able to create it! My husband loved his custom ring and shows everyone how he has a turkey inside instead of engraving. Finally, Set and Jacques helped me redesign a pair of vintage earrings for my wedding day. We drew out designs and they were able to build the most beautiful earrings using a combination of the vintage stones and some new ones. Our lives are much more sparkly because of la bijouterie! :) Thank you!! read more

With such an important purchase as an engagement ring, I couldn't have been happier to meet Set. His business is honest, high quality, and even the post-sale service is top notch. Have recommended him multiple times to friends getting to that stage in their lives as well. Will be coming back again for wedding bands and hopefully other special occasions in the future. Thanks Set! read more

100% recommend!! Set was awesome in working with us to design my dream engagement ring and then wedding ring. Set and his team deliver with quality jewelry. They literally took my vision, put it to paper, and created a ring that looked exactly like what I imagined in my head. Thank you! read more

Set and his team went above and beyond in assisting me with the initial consultation, design, stone sourcing and manufacturing process to produce an heirloom quality piece of jewelry for my fiancée which receives compliments on a near daily basis. All of this on a condensed timeframe which went extremely smoothly. I can't recommend Set and his team more highly if you are in the market for a high quality jewelry item. His prices are fair, he is extremely kind and I can easily say I have found my jeweler for life. I'll be back!! read more

Like any woman out there, I've dreamt of meeting the perfect man and have the perfect ring my entire life. And as romantic as it sounds to be proposed to with a ring, my perfect husband knew my personality a little too well so he let me pick my own bling! I researched far and wide, all the way to NYC. We both went to at least a few dozens jewelers for weeks before we met Set, the perfect jeweler. And after spending a few hours with him one afternoon, we placed our trusts in him and we were so glad we did. After a month long wait, I came in to pick up my ring and was speechless, and I'm not one to be impressed easily. He brought my vision to life, only except that it was more beautiful in real life than I could ever imagine it to be. Thank you, Set, for putting up with my tantrums during the design process. I'm forever your fan and will make sure Jonathan comes back to you for my next UPGRADE! read more

One of the worst customer experiences I have ever had. I was so shocked and disappointed after doing the research and the glowing yelp reviews. We made an appointment online, for the first session of an engagement ring design session, I made notes that I had the stone and my design sketch. We arrive on time, they let us in, we say hi and ask them how they are. I show him my stone and my sketch and he looks them over and I explain the idea behind my design, he nods and says sure. Then nothing. Then the next 5 minutes of our appointment I am prompting him with questions, like what do you think of the design (he says, yes we can do it), I ask for any other suggestions or opinions and he has none, zipped mouth like he's so afraid to say anything until we pay. I even had to ask what next steps should we want to proceed. Like pulling teeth! Never had anyone not want to give any service, it definitely felt like discrimination. Not sure whether it was because age, race, or what - awful and inexcusable no matter the reason! read more

Would highly recommend. Set was great at making me comfortable/walking me through the process (of purchasing a diamond/engagement ring). I had self-educated ahead of time, and he was patient in filling in my knowledge gaps. All our interactions were conversational and it never felt like he was a quote unquote "salesman." We just had a common goal and we worked together to find out what's most important and how to get it right. Really appreciate the help, and also the final product. Great service, merchandise, and craftsmanship. read more

Set is amazing at his craft. From the minute we walked in, we were taken care of and educated on what to look for in a diamond. My (now) fiance had very particular tastes in what she wanted in a ring. Both of us were a bit cautious as we didn't want the small details left out when the ring was designed... When I came back to pick the ring up, I immediately knew it was done exactly as we wanted. Set even made some decisions on even smaller details we didn't think of, and they matched what we pictured perfectly. Rest assured you will definitely get the best service and expertise with Set. Thanks again! read more

Set and my fiancé worked together to create the engagement ring of my dreams! He picked the most stunning, sparkly diamond and then created a setting that was exactly what I wanted - except even better! My fiancé raved about how easy and pleasant Set was to work with along every step of the process. We'll be returning for our wedding bands! read more

La Bijouterie - Jewelry Near Me - San Francisco, California

What can I say that hasn't already been said? La Bijouterie is truly the best in the industry!! My now fiancé and I visited La Bijouterie a few years ago when we first started browsing engagement rings. Set was super friendly & extremely knowledgable- he took the time to educate us on diamonds, and essentially changed our perception of what to look for in a diamond. We visited several other jewelers since, and none gave us the feeling Set did when we visited. Fast forward to late last year when the BF finally decided it was time to put a ring on it! We visited La Bijouterie again, and to our surprise, Set still remembered personal details from the first time we visited. That to us sealed the deal, and we knew Set would be our guy. He patiently worked with me to find the PERFECT diamond, and believe me when I say that was no easy feat! I am super particular and even changed my mind on what I wanted a couple times throughout the course of this journey. In the end, Set produced the most beautiful ring that really represented both our love and my personality, and I couldn't be more pleased. And speaking on behalf of my fiancé, Set was so easy to work with in the financial aspect as well- he is will work arduously to find you the perfect diamond within your budget, but also keeps it real- no BS sales tactics! I receive so many compliments on my ring, and I'm always happy to send people Set's way. In fact, we had recommended him to a good friend, and she ended up getting her perfect engagement ring from La Bijouterie as well! We love Set & can't recommend him enough! read more

From my first introduction, to a design session with my fiancé's sister and friends, discussing budget and selecting stones, all the way up to pickup and me bringing my new fiancé by to show Set his newest happy customer - I had a fantastic experience with La Bijouterie. After listening to what I was looking for and seeing some 'Pinterest inspiration', Set (owner) was then able to show me examples of his previous designs on his iMac (both digital 3D renders and photos+video of previous rings he has made). His approach to selecting the stone(s) respected my budget range and gave me the opportunity to select a diamond that stood out to my eye, making the experience personal and meaningful. I can't thank Set enough and will look forward to returning soon for our wedding bands! read more
