So they used to be in the Jewelry Mart (aka San Francisco Gift & Jewelry Center). As is the norm…read morein the City, the building is closed in preparation of being developed. While watching the local Chinese TV station, I saw a commercial showing pictures and the information of this relatively new location. Over the years, I used to visit them at the SF location to help friends buy jewelry such as rings, necklaces, and bracelets. I'd also bring pieces here that need to be repaired or resized. A friend lost a small gem from a ring so I stopped here to get it replaced. The store is not very big, probably 1/8th of its former store. I rang the doorbell a few times and didn't get the young lady inside. She buzzed me in and I left my ring and business card with her. The owner George told me that he wouldn't be there until the afternoon. I didn't shop nor did I study their display cases but, if you've been to their old location, it is definitely an abbreviation from what they had there. I found a metered space in front of the store but noticed a driveway to a garage a few feet away in case there are no street spaces available. I am waiting to hear back on when my repair will be ready. Nice to see this business continuing. If you are looking for particular stones or quality types, you may need to make an appointment to make sure he has them available for you to see.

He resized both rings in about 40 minutes and also polished them and tightened the diamonds at a very affordable price. Our rings look brand new, and the craftsmanship and service were exceptional.

I most appreciate them when I re-mounted my 40+ year old wedding band with a lovely halo band that made my near carat diamond look larger. They did an excellent job. Later, noticed a few diamonds from the halo band fell out. Brought back to May who promptly replaced while we waited at no cost. Just wonderful service without nickel & dime'ing the customer. They stand behind their merchandise. Did not clean my ring for picture but the halo diamonds are of very good quality for accent diamonds.

We had such a great experience working with Kevin at CTC Jewelers in the SF Jewelry Mart to…read morecustomize our wedding bands. From start to finish, Kevin was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and patient -- exactly what you want when making a decision that's both personal and meaningful. He took the time to walk us through different styles and options, but never made us feel rushed or pushed toward anything that wasn't us. His guidance helped us clarify what we wanted, and his expertise ensured the final product was even better than we envisioned. You can tell Kevin genuinely cares -- he made the whole process approachable and enjoyable, which is not always easy when dealing with something as significant as wedding jewelry. Highly recommend visiting CTC Jewelers and asking for Kevin if you're looking for custom pieces or just need an expert you can trust.

They're all incredibly knowledgeable and honest about what style and shape is best for the cut and style of gemstone. I went in for an initial consultation, I'm not too picky but I had no idea what I wanted because there is so many beautiful options, I knew I would need something customized. She sat with me for almost 2 hours and we finally were able to create my dream ring. They even hand picked a beautifully cut morganite from a jeweler show that sparkled like a diamond. After first appointment I only had to wait a couple weeks to pick up my ring and I love it! Picked it up today with my husband and I was so excited I raced home to take pictures of it on my patio garden. Definitely recommend getting any custom pieces through AB gems! Great prices as well.

I was referred to Alan who immediately was very personable and knowledgeable and really took the time to find out what fit my needs. I bought an engagement ring in 2017 and came back for our wedding rings (which were custom made taking elements we liked from several of his showroom pieces) as well as another piece recently. Prices are more than fair and he always has my best interest in mind, making sure that our items are appraised and giving lifetime care on all of his pieces (the diamond we had insured separately to be safe - normal from an independent jeweler). I absolutely recommend Alan if you're looking for a custom piece of jewelry that comes along with transparency and a fair price.
