I requested quotes from multiple jewelers in the area for sizing on a ring. The others either never responded or were very unprofessional in their replies. Not only did La Vita Vital respond promptly, but they were also thorough and very professional with their response. I decided to bring my ring in and am so glad I did! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The gentleman who helped me was kind and informative. He ensured all my questions were answered[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and also assured me that my ring would be done in time for my event. It looked absolutely beautiful and I plan on bringing more of my jewelry to them for cleaning, repairs, and redesigning in the future. Thanks La Vita Vital! read more

La Vita Vital - Ring - Jewelry Repair Near Me - Irvine, California

Affordable elegance!!! I needed a ring sized up. After a little web recon, I sent out few yelp project requests. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Alfredo responded quickly, with a warm, thorough message, a couple of follow up questions, and even offered a tour of the facility[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - Responses from other jewelers ranged from "you cannot size a ring with a stone," to quotes two and three times what Alfredo suggested. I called, we had a lengthy discussion, and I headed down. I have to say, I found the place initially INTIMIDATING, as I was going in for a mere ring size. It's elegant and spans two buildings that I could see. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I headed to the right, rang the bell, entered and was immediately greeted by Ingrid, who is a delight in every way. She instantly put me ease, as she is kind, funny, knowledgeable, with excellent taste obviously ;) and a good listener.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not only did they size my ring, they replaced 2 of 4 (egads!!) broken prongs, for about the price of one of the other local jeweler's quote, in a timely manner. They have gorgeous stones and beautiful creative pieces; he hits my jewelry trifecta: absolutely stunning craftmanship, stones and design. He makes these butterflies that are a delight...I barely looked, it would have been torture, as I am not currently in the market. But whether it is a simple fix or the piece of your dreams, I would absolutely make this your first stop, it will likely be your last and you will feel completely at ease, the whole time. read more

I brought in a very sentimental necklace that had broken after calling ahead to see if repairs were possible.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]5 stars isn't enough to express how much we love our rings and the experience we had with Ingrid and Austin at La Vita Vital.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We're so happy we chose them to have our rings made.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ingrid was so personable and knowledgeable, she was able to answer any questions we had...and we had plenty![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We didn't feel pressured by them at all, we actually left to shop around since they were the first jewelers we went to and after visiting others jewelers we decided to go back to them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're shopping around for jewelers I would suggest La Vita Vital, shop around if you want but you'll end up returning to them! read more

La Vita Vital - Custom wedding band and solitaire oval cut 2.07ct diamond (top) - Jewelry Repair Near Me - Irvine, California

I am so glad I found La Vita Vital. I had a ring that needed to be enlarged but the metal was very thin so the ring had to have a large section of metal removed and a new thicker piece inserted. The ring came back perfect ! The metal was replaced flawlessly and the finish was nice and smooth. You would never know that such a large piece of the ring had been replaced. Aside from the work on my ring, Chilly gave me a tour of the facility where I was able to see the jewelry making process starting with the development of the wax patterns all the way through casting, gem placement and finishing; very high tech and impressive. Everywhere I looked I saw perfection. I highly recommend this business. read more

I highly recommend La Vita Vital! Amazing experience. I'm so happy! My bracelet that is super special to me recently broke. It has a very special meaning go to me and I wear it every day. I felt sad since I wasn't able to wear it. I found La Vita Vital via Yelp and called them right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chilly answered and was so pleasant to speak with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He said come in and we can fix it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went it and again [[HIGHLIGHT]]everyone I had interaction with was so friendly and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They fixed my bracelet right then & there and I was in and out within 20 mins! It was perfect! I will definitely be a client when needed and recommend LVV whenever someone asks if I know of a good jeweler! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Our experience with Austin and Chilly was amazing from start to finish![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only did they make us feel incredibly welcome from the minute we walked in, but Chilly made sure to include my soon to be mother in law by translating everything he was telling us in Spanish for her too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We brought two family rings in to create my engagement ring and wedding band. The final product was more than I even hoped for. Chilly was even able to save an inscription made on one of the original rings to create a gift for my father. Again, they went above and beyond to be sure we were taken care of and got everything we wanted. We will be recommending everyone to them and look forward to working with them again in the future. read more

La Vita Vital helped me fix my wife's wedding ring when the diamond fell out. They repaired it and did a free repair almost 2 years later when a couple of the prongs broke from it likely banging into something. Clearly not their fault but they fixed it for free anyways. Highly recommend these folks. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]When I first saw these 5 star reviews I was skeptical but I went in anyways and met Auston.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He helped me over the course of the next few weeks as I was shopping around to see if I would get a better deal for a diamond anywhere else.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Auston stayed active and engaging with me throughout and in the end I ended up going with La Vita Vital because they have in house jewelers and Auston is incredible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fast forward a while later two of the small diamonds fell somewhere but Auston overnighted me a FedEx to ship the ring as I wasn't local anymore and returned a fixed, cleaned, shined ring within 3 business days. I'm hooked. I won't get jewelry for my wife anywhere else. Ask for Auston when you visit. read more

I finally found my jewelry repair place, excellent service, excellent craftsmanship, and reasonable prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lupita suggested I use the leftover pieces of my bracelets and turn them into earrings, wow, so happy I went with her suggestion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is a long overdue review. Over the last four years, Auston has made me a custom ring, earrings, and just recently a tennis bracelet. In between he has done repairs and re-settings on old jewelry for me. I always do my homework before bringing a new project to La Vita Vital and every single time, I bring in tons of notes and questions and I feel like my requests may sometimes be too much with minute details but they have always been patient and understood what I wanted and delivered pieces exactly to the specs I requested. Before La Vita Vital moved to Irvine, I would go to LA jewelry district and the customer experience with La Vita Vital is night and day; plus it's an easier drive to Irvine vs LA. Honestly I have been in my gatekeeping era since too many people in the know may ruin nice things for others but I feel like this review needed to be written because they deserve to be recognized for their good work and for their great customer service. read more

Wow! My husband and I came in to get a diamond stone to be set inside an existing ring to upgrade my engagement ring from 4 years ago. At the time we were married my husband and I couldn't afford a real diamond so I got another ring with a different gem inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We met with "Chilly" and he really helped us out, he asked our budget and worked within it and also gave us an amazing deal on top of it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He managed to find a beautiful lab created diamond that would fit beautifully into my existing ring. I am so happy and love my new ring. The best part is I walked in on a Friday afternoon and left to go get payment to put a deposit on my new ring and they had FINISHED IT by the time I got back. I couldn't believe it. It was supposed to be ready Monday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just 10/10 customer service. I can't say enough good things about this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their prices are FANTASTIC, their service is unprecedented and I am so in love with my new diamond ring. COME HERE FIRST!!! They have a customer for life, I will always come here for any of my jewelry needs. Also I forgot to mention that the place has an on site factory and they do everything on site. Anything you want they can make for you and their expert jewelers will make sure it's perfect. I'll include a picture of my new ring but just know, the picture doesn't do it justice! read more

I don't even know how to start off this review. Just ultimately beyond happy with their services. 1000% recommending this place to friends and family and anyone that will listen. We came here with the recommendation of East West Gem Co; they have an office upstairs. We needed my wedding rings made fairly quickly, and East West Gem Co has a strict timeline. I wouldn't have gotten my rings before the wedding. My (now) husband also wanted to see if La Vita Vital would be able to design my dream ring with the stone I chose from East West Gem Co. We were led downstairs to meet with Chilly and go over what we needed. We told him our timeline and what we were looking for in the ring. Showed him some pictures online of how we wanted the ring to be but with a different style and shaped stone. He told us he could make it happen, and wow, did he make it happen! We were leaving for a 2 week vacation a few days after our initial meeting. He made sure we came back to review the CAD drawings and try on a wax mold before we left, so that everything else could be completed while we were gone. My rings were ready just a few days after we got back, and I could not be more happy with how they turned out! Chilly gave us the best experience! I don't think we'll go elsewhere for any other jewelry needs. Not only did we love coming in, but we had a great time chatting each visit. One of my best friends is planning an engagement, and we've already been in touch with Chilly to create her dream ring. Oops. Forgot to mention they made my husband's wedding ring as well. Came out just like he imagined. And we had La Vita Vital fix my brother's wedding band as well. This place is the BEST! Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking! read more

Wow! What a gem of a business - pun fully intended. I don't review often, but I have to with this one. I came in to get my wife's ring cleaned for our upcoming anniversary and they got me in with a competitive quote the day of and had people ready to work on it on a walk-in basis. Availability + fair pricing + high yelp ratings, it was a no-brainer. The workmanship is fantastic - Got the engagement and wedding rings cleaned, polished, and redipped in a single day and they brought back shine that we hadn't seen in years. Great work! That said, many shops can do similar.. What most other businesses don't/can't do is what I experienced with this family shop and is something that I haven't seen in a long time from large corporations or other family run shops - they cared about my satisfaction more than anything else. Austin, Chilly, and Al who I didn't even meet followed up with me after everything was done. From the moment I stepped into their facility, it was like they brought me into their family. They addressed what I came for, but on top of that explained the business to me and gave me a tour.. incredible stuff they're doing! What made me realize their business is different was I originally came in mid afternoon and they mentioned the pickup time to come back by 5 which was reasonable and I agreed to it given I was a walk-in. I came back a bit early because my wife needed to be somewhere and I wanted to close the transaction as soon as it could. Had I come in at the regular time the rings would've been ready but since I was already there, they tried to expedite things even though they're a busy shop. When came time to checkout, Austin made sure I was happy with the results and even wanted to ensure I was happy with the overall experience by making accommodations I wasn't even asking for. So rare - it's been a while where I've had a transaction with a business that cared about the customer this much. Would highly recommend and know where I'm going next time for any jewelry needs. Truly excellent! read more

Great experience with La Vita and Auston designing a custom engagement ring and wedding band. They had the best custom process as everything is done in house. And we got a tour of the office/facility as well. Also, Auston was with us through every step of the process, texting us pictures of the CAD design. Other jewelers we met with outsource the design process. So being able to have direct contact with the designer made it very personal. Their price was also very competitive with other jewelers. And the appraisal they provide confirmed it even more. The office meet and greet was great as well. Everyone was friendly, and every time we came in, we were offered bottled water. Sometimes even Boxed Water. Only thing was the process was a bit slow at times as we didn't hear for a week or so (sometimes). But they still met our wedding deadline in a timely manner. Loved working with Auston and we are very happy with the rings. Would definitely recommend and will be referring friends and family. Thanks again! read more

La Vita Vital Exceeded any and all expectations I had. My fiance purchased my engagement ring here and it is STUNNING. I had an idea of what I wanted but it was quite specific. They were extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable. La Vita Vital was able to curate exactly what I had dreamt up. I keep staring at my ring, they did a fantastic job and we will continue to recommend to anyone who will listen. Thank you x10000! read more

I wish I found this place sooner. Had custom diamond setting done for the first ever time here. It came out amazing. Wonderful staff and facility. What set them apart is size of facility and number of diamond setter on site they have. Most other places will take weeks if not month to get something done as they likely not perform the work in house and outsource the project to elsewhere and act as middle man. read more

I can't express how happy I am that I've found La Vita Vital. It's located in one of the office complexes in Irvine with ample parking. They were also very flexible when we wanted to stop by last minute. I've had the privilege working with Auston and was greeted with warm welcome right from the start by other staff member when on the phone and when I reached out via yelp. They provided accurate price range as to how much it'll cost and the time, process it'll take. Also, very reasonably priced!! They took us in late in the day but wanted to help us get it done the same day for a ring resizing. Auston gave us a tour of their facility upstairs while our other jewelries were getting cleaned. It gave me a peace of mind knowing that my jewelry would not leave the premise and everything was done on-site. The entire process was transparent, efficient, and accommodating of my concerns from my previous experience with another jeweler. I really wish I've found them sooner! Will recommend La Vita Vital to anyone who is looking for jewelry repair or custom pieces! read more

La Vita Vital is the place to go for all things sparkly! My fiancé and I worked with Auston to resize my engagement ring and to polish and add diamonds to his band. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our experience was truly 10/10 all around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone there was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are extremely reasonable as well (wholesale prices). I wasn't sure what I was getting into having found them on Google but they have made lifelong customers out of us! Don't hesitate to check this place out for any jewelery needs! read more

I never leave reviews but I have to leave one for Auston and La Vita Vital because I would give them 500 stars if I could! Auston has made several custom pieces for us over the past year leading up to our engagement this summer. My fiance and I met with him several times to explore ring ideas over the past few months. Auston made the process so fun, we loved going in and brainstorming ideas with him! He created my engagement ring and a custom surprise post-engagement gift ring for my fiance. To say that we are both blown away by our rings is an understatement. He brought my fiance's ideas to life in a custom ring that is truly one of a kind. So a million thank you's to you Auston!! We can't wait to come back and visit you for all future jewelry occasions. Love, Natalie and Zach read more

I had the pleasure of working with Al and Austin for 2 separate custom purchases. I initially found La Vita Vital via Yelp. I contacted a number of jewelers looking for the best price on a certain custom piece. LVV was the first to respond, had the best pricing, and the best quality. They were very welcoming and professional throughout the entire experience. I really appreciate that I was able to communicate w them primarily Thur the message feature on Yelp. 2 years later I was looking for diamond studs for my girls. I love the moissanite diamonds. Lab made. They look more beautiful and brilliant to me than my natural diamonds, at a fraction of the cost. I brought a friend w me and Austin was so nice to size a ring for her at no charge, on the spot! She was thrilled. I love great customer service. They have me as a client for life now! read more

Auston is the BEST! He made my sister-in-law's wedding ring set as well as countless pieces for my mom. He custom made my own engagement ring and wedding band, and it's been a dream come true. Working with Auston is easy, he never tries to sell me anything outside of my budget and works with me to go below my price limit while not compromising the integrity and beauty of the jewelry. He even fixed an old ring my mom passed down to me. I can't imagine going to any other jeweler because I know I'm getting amazing quality at a great price with even better customer service. read more

My first experience with La Vita was 13 years ago when they enthusiastically worked with me to design my bride-to-be's wedding ring (she's now my lovely wife of 13 years). I had no experience in designing, but wanted the ring to be as beautiful and special as she was. They made that happen. Since then, I've gone back to La Vita for various anniversaries, birthdays, and births (we've three beautiful children now!) and they continue to serve with the highest degree of excellence, professionalism, and sincere happiness to contribute to our marriage's great milestones. Even more, I've referred over a dozen people to La Vita and *each one* left completely satisfied, enjoying the same experience I have had and beginning the same kind of relationship with them I've enjoyed. Jewelry is a niche business that usually offers services to help mark life's most important events, but it's also incredibly intimidating for average folks like me to approach given how little I know and how little money I have! But, La Vita has served me well by creating the highest quality products with a spirit of professionalism and care for over 13 years. read more

This is the best family owned and operated business I have ever visited. They give you personalized one on one sessions where they present multiple recommendations and options. They made me the most beautiful engagement ring, tennis bracelet, and diamond and gold chain necklace. They work with you to create your dream designs and their commitment to serving you is second to none. My fiancé and I are avowed lifelong customers. When I broke my bracelet, they even completed an extensive repair in less than a day so that I could have it with me on my vacation. Chilly and Austin are exceptional jewelers who communicate with patience, responsiveness and great experience within the industry. Above all they are passionate about what they do and that is demonstrated in how they serve and what they create! read more

When I said I do 20+ years ago, never in a million years did I ever think I'd be divorced. But, sometimes it's not your choice and you accept your "happily ever after," is yet to be discovered. Let me share - I'm engaged! Leading up to my engagement, it was an easy decision to return to Al Baca to hunt for my dream stone. When making decisions in an investment of this magnitude, he is someone who has proven from past experiences I completely trust. (It's why I refer everyone I know to him). I appreciate Al's acute listening to hear exactly what we were looking for and explaining the process at a level we could understand. It's apparent he is an expert in this field, he treated the process respectfully and it's obvious no matter the price range the client is seeking he only cares to take care of just you. We felt so at ease which eliminated any stress on our end and allowed us to enjoy this phase leading up to our engagement. Once the stone was secured, we met Austin. Austin was fantastic! I had no clue what I wanted aside from something beautiful to represent the gratefulness in being gifted this union to be. Austin was always so calm and patient as we worked through my customized design. Although I live across the country from La Vita Vital it had minimal impact on the VIP experience I was given. I never saw the end product until my future husband proposed. I'm pleased to share that my engagement ring and wedding band is more then I could have imagined. I look at it in awe, it's spectacular! and patiently await our nuptials. The entire team at La Vita Vital treated me like family throughout the end-to-end experience I had. I love that they are so accomplished yet they remain so humble and down to earth in their interactions. I highly recommend La Vita Vital - no matter your size project you will be treated like family. They are sincere about it too. Cheers to my "happily ever after!" And, Cheers to La Vita Vital. You produced an outstanding & beautiful, long-lasting customized product! You have a customer for life. My future husband will be in contact so we can design an additional band as I'm looking to stack this ensemble. Woot! read more

La Vita Vital exceeded all my expectations. I went in for a consultation describing an idea of what I wanted my engagement and wedding rings to look like. Austin designed a custom set of rings that incorporated my heirloom diamonds and brought my dreams to life! I am so happy with how everything turned out. Austin was very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. I recommend La Vita Vital 100%! read more
