We have been visiting Bluestone in Truckee just about every year now since 2018 and they have been…read moreso good to us! Our most recent trip was to get our wedding bands. I had a clear vision for my ring and any customizations I would want. My fiancé however definitely needed some help. The team was so patient with us with trying rings on, talking about the different materials, and being there for us every step of the way with design ideas. We ended up finding the perfect wedding bands and we are so excited that we get to continue to support this amazing store! My engagement ring is also from this company and I get so many compliments about it! TLDR: they have wonderful customer service and are truly so kind. They'll do as much as they can to ensure you have a pleasant visit and leave happy.

In addition to a custom ring, bluestone has helped us pick wine for my father in their excellent selection of wine, has helped repair my wedding set, sized multiple rings, and has given us beautiful jewelry that is heirloom quality. I have gotten some of the most beautiful London blue topaz here. I recommend bluestone to anybody looking for fine jewelry. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality of items they sell. Definitely take a look at their quartz gold pieces if you get a chance.

I was most impressed with the extensive collection of Ayala Bar accessories in the mirrored cases towards the back of the shop. She is one of my favorite artists and I chatted with the sales associate for a bit before trying on several pieces. I was looking for a pair of earrings that would go well with a lot of my neutral everyday wear, something that would be simple yet elegant, but unique and beautiful. I found just the perfect pair here along with a gift for my sister that I knew immediately would be her birthday gift. The nice salesperson boxed up the items and added a nice ribbon to the gift item. I loved this shop and look forward to future visits.

After weeks of searching for the perfect jeweler, I found THE one: Mark Phillips also known as…read moreTahoe Diamonds, Tassen Design and Jewelers CAD. Tassen was his beloved dogs name. Mark, owner and operator, is absolutely extraordinary! His craftsmanship, integrity, ethics, understanding, flexibility, patience, availability, efficiency, creativity, replication skills, accuracy, custom designs (and more) are by far superior than any other jeweler I've found. And I've been to many, many, many. Mark's custom designs are incredibly gorgeous! Also, his prices are lower than any other jeweler Ive found- many many - even significantly lower than multiple estimates I received from others. Moreover, he offered to do the jewelry repair right in front of me. All other jewelers wanted to hold my wedding band and engagement ring for atleast 2 weeks, possibly 3. Plus, Mark is eco-friendly. I cannot say enough about Mark. Truly, Mark is an amazing rare gem! With over 35 years of experience, including 20 years at his current location off 267 in Truckee, Mark dedicates himself to quality, precision, integrity, fairness, fine jewelry, and artistry, Mark is even recognized in trade magazines. To be recognized by his own peers in this competitive market, to showcase and promote him, is astonishing and impressive. A huge accomplishment indeed. Goes to show how stellar and admired he is. Don't let his modesty fool you. His expertise shines through. Mark will create any kind of jewelry you want. He specializes in diamonds and custom made jewelry, including engagement rings, wedding bands, and specialty pieces. He offers Canadian diamonds that are absolutely 100% conflict free by being mined in Canada, other conflict free, and lab-made diamonds. He perfectly replicates jewelry too! He's replicating a sentimental piece of mine that most other jewelers said couldn't be done. The ones that said it could be wanted to charge me over $1,000. Mark is charging me significantly less. And his attention to details that I didn't even notice on my own jewelry blew my mind. I will only go to Mark for ALL of my jewelry needs. Though Mark is also know as Tahoe Diamonds, Tassen Design and Jewelers CAD, he is one of a kind! #1!

They have a section of $5 earrings that I always gravitate towards, and they have a good selection of inexpensive hair clips. The customer service is friendly and they are happy to answer questions about the products or help you find something specific. The only downside is the last time I went, I asked about a specific item I've bought multiple times under the impression it was local/handmade, but found out it isn't. Not a big deal but was a little sad because I try to buy stuff that supports local artists as well as the local shops.
