I cannot recommend Joe and everyone at McClave Jewelers enough! I recently got engaged and inherited my fiancé's late mother's engagement ring, which Joe originally handcrafted back in 1992. When I brought it in to have it cleaned, he took one look at it and immediately recognized it. It was such a special moment and made me realize just how much history this little ring carries. I originally popped in for what I thought would be a quick cleaning. I also wanted to ask about removing a sentimental ring that had been stuck on my left hand for over 10 years and get some ideas for my grandmother's engagement ring, which had been sitting in a jewelry box for decades. Joe was so incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely excited to help. He carefully cut off my stuck ring, gave me a very reasonable quote to repair it, and then spent so much time talking through ideas for my grandmother's ring. We bounced around different designs until we landed on the most beautiful custom wedding band! I never could have imagined that a ring sitting untouched for all these years could become something so gorgeous. The best part? Just 10 days later, Joe called to say everything was ready. We picked up my rings today, and I honestly don't even have the words. My sentimental ring looks absolutely brand new, and my custom wedding band completely exceeded every expectation I had. The craftsmanship is just incredible. It looks like it's always been part of my engagement ring. What meant the most to me was how personal the entire experience felt. Joe never made us feel rushed. He truly cared about the story behind these family heirlooms and helped create something that honors both my fiancé's mom and my grandmother. That means more than I can say. I can't WAIT until I officially get to wear my wedding band! It means so much to me knowing that my grandmother's engagement ring, a ring that's been in my family for so many years, gets to have a whole new life instead of sitting in a jewelry box. The fact that I get to carry a piece of my family's history with me every single day is something I'll never take for granted. Joe transformed it into something that's absolutely timeless, stunning, and so ME. I know I'll love wearing it just as much 30 years from now as I do today. Thank you, Joe, for sharing your talent, your creativity, and your kindness with us. You made this experience one we'll never forget. We'll absolutely be buying my fiancé's wedding band at McClave, and we'll be recommending Joe and the entire McClave team to everyone we know for years to come. Thank you for everything! read more

Shout out to Gregory McClave at his jewelry store. He untangled a knot in a chain I brought in and was extremely efficient and pleasant about it.

McClave Jewelers - Engagement ring - Jewelry Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Be prepared for a detailed review... I was in the market for a "promise ring" and I also wanted to look at engagement rings because I was in the process of working with another (out of state) jeweler for an engagement ring. I found the staff (Brian) to be friendly, engaging, professional and with the proper context, humorous...oh and VERY knowledgeable too! Little did I know that I was walking into a family run business that specializes in custom created jewelry! The store is clean, well lit and very well organized. I felt very safe and there was no pressure to "up-sell" me on anything. In fact, there was no pressure to even make a purchase! After introducing himself, Brian gave me his full and complete attention. After describing what I wanted to look at, I was very pleasantly surprised by the near constant outflowing of products and ideas to discuss, review and actually touch / examine. Yeah at one point we had a fair portion of the counter littered with a variety of shiny things. In the end, I decided to purchase the engagement ring here and as I write this, the custom work I want is being built! This is where the craftsmanship comes in! Attention to detail! Quality products! Almost as important as all of these is setting my expectations. Yeah! This was a top-notch interaction and I can't wait to pick-up the ring and then...pop the question! THANK YOU BRIAN! Please also thank you dad (remember I said that this was a FAMILY run business?) for me again! His insight and opinion was SO VERY helpful and invaluable to me. CONCLUSION: Would I recommend this business? Without ANY hesitation! read more

Amazing store, great help and amazing jewelry you have to experience the expertise of the people that work there

Amazing service! Joe is the best! He has designed some beautiful, timeless pieces for me. I couldn't be happier

Ah-mazing! My friends all wanted to get me something special for my 50th birthday, so I stopped by when I was in the mall to look for a pair of earrings. I found the absolute perfect pair, but they were yellow gold. The gentleman at the counter told me it was absolutely no problem. He would make them white gold for me in three days so that I could have them in time for my birthday party. They came out stunning. I could not love them more. The customer service was spectacular and the quality is beyond. read more

I was looking for a local jeweler to repair a small piece of jewelry that is special to me. I called McClave Jewelers, and the employee with whom I spoke was very pleasant and helpful. I visited today and couldn't be happier with the result. The jewelry repair person was kind, prompt, professional, and fair. As a family-owned business, it is apparent that they care about the customers. I can't imagine how there can be negative reviews regarding this jewelry store. I will definitely visit them again should a need arise. Thank you. read more

I went in with my boyfriend yesterday on Black Friday. He recommended this jeweler as his family has bought all their jewelry items throughout the years there. I work in the jewelry industry as well but have always wanted MY OWN special ring shopping experience when that time came since I have given 1,000's of amazing ring shopping experiences to my customers. I want to have my own beautiful experience and not at my own store. We were greeted by an older gentleman and there was only two other couples in the store already being helped. My boyfriend and the salesman started talking. The salesman at the store said "well since it's Black Friday and you guys aren't getting engaged by Christmas, I'm not going to take the time to help you guys and show settings right now just for those coming in ready to actually buy gifts" which I was extremely taken back by. I felt dismissed, unimportant and turned off at that point. Then he said "but if you have pictures go ahead and show me" why would I show you pictures of settings I want when you just made it very clear you aren't even going to help us? I CRIED once we left. I really really hope my boyfriend doesn't shop and buy there now. First impressions are everything to me and y'all blew it. Being in the industry, it's first come first serve whether they buy or not it's about the EXPERIENCE YOU GIVE. read more

This is the second time in the past couple years that I have received excellent jewelry service from the McClave family. Two years ago the diamond in my 46 year old wedding ring fell out of the setting and went missing. I was devastated until I realized that my mother had years earlier gifted me her ring which had the same size diamond. Several friends had assured me they trusted only McClave Jewelers. I met with a McClave jeweler and was so impressed with his workmanship and my "new" ring. This week I unfortunately had to return to McClave Jewelers for another jewelry issue and again was so impressed with Brian's customer service and expertise. There is no doubt that McClave Jewelers is the only jeweler our family will be using! read more

When my boyfriend smartly let me know he was going to propose and that I could pick my own engagement ring, I knew we'd go to McClave's since they've worked with my dad for years. We worked with Brian who was kind and so welcoming. He walked me through the process of designing my ring one step at a time, with thought, care and creativity. He listened as I gradually took into account what I wanted and recommended stones and different band metals. I wanted something a bit different with an asymmetrical center stone. This makes the rest of the design challenging but Brian was here for it. He kept us under the budget we wanted and I could not be happier. It's so special, made to last and the experience was so easy. Thank you! read more

My fiancé and I stumbled upon the perfect ring and McClave's and we couldn't be happier. We found a pre owned ring from their estate collection. I've always known I wanted a non-diamond engagement ring and was so happy to find one. They had a great selection of diamond rings and others! We also really appreciated how fast they were able to resize it for us. We're looking forward to coming back when it's time to pick the wedding bands! read more

Ron- who I believe is one of the owners- is condescending and unpleasant. I took some items in recently to see what they would be worth. I asked a few questions about how they determine payout amounts. I think he saw me as gullible and was trying to confuse me by "mansplaining" a bunch of nonsense and talking in circles. Then he went on and on in a very condescending way about how it'll "take him some time to determine what is what" and he'll have to charge me for my time if I chose not to sell- I have NO problem with that, as people need to be compensated for their time. It was the fact that he made me feel like I was bothering him that irritated me. He made me feel like he was doing me a favor by buying my gold. He then told me he would get to it when he could, "sometime in between other customers". Um ok... When Ron called me a few hours later, the amount he offered literally made me laugh out loud. When I came back to pick up my stuff, he didn't bother charging me because I think he knew how badly he tried to lowball me. The next day I took my stuff to The Gold Store on TO Blvd, where I was given a warm welcome and a complimentary cleaning of my personal pieces while I waited for the appraisal. After thorough inspection and purity testing, they offered 6X as much as Ron offered me! Thankfully I got another opinion and didn't fall for the mansplaining and take Ron's offer. Also, he could really use a breath mint. I will definitely not be shopping at McClave again! read more

They said, and I will agree with... "good things come to those who wait." As my previous review states, I was very recently given an engagement ring some 15 years into our marriage (that McClave Jewelers resized for me). The thing is, though, while my fake wedding rings were fine all these years, I noticed the band part was not the same shine, sparkle and polish that a real band would have provided, so I thought to myself, why don't I splurge and complete the look with a real band? Since McClave's did such a nice job of resizing my engagement ring, I decided to return to check out their wedding band selection, and I found a lovely band that is actually PERFECT. What's amazing about this ring is that the unique design (the slight curve at the tip of the band) lays so beautifully against the engagement ring, you'd think they were always a wedding ring set, and yet, they're not. Completely independent of each other, but they go together so well. Greg McClave assisted us, and he was extremely thorough and accommodating. I had to wait an additional four weeks for the band to be made, but I survived the long wait, lol, and I can't stop staring at my beautiful rings. I've always been fine with wearing fake jewelry, but I have to say, I really love my new rings and how pretty they are.... and this is thanks to McClave's !! read more

I just left McClave's Jewelers extremely disappointed with their customer service. I came to simply asked if they could check if a piece of jewelry I purchased online and the guy I spoke with absolutely refused to do it. He went on and on to explain it had to be appraised by a professional and that it was a service that cost. It's funny because across from McClave's Jewelrs is Daniel's Jewelrs who said they're machine was out of order. I didn't appreciate how condescending the guy at McClaves was being. The jewelry business is competitive enough, I would expect a friendly conversation but this guy seemed to want to just say no to get rid of me. I will NOT be recommending this jewelry story to anyone. read more

When looking to get antique jewelry worked on, do not go to McClaves. I picked up my wedding rings after getting them resized. I quickly noticed that they were lumpy and could see the marks where gold was added to the bands. I walked immediately back in and was then told because of how big I got my rings sized they were unable to do anything to help except try to smooth it out more. The man I spoke to was rude and kept emphasizing how large the size was. A day or so later my husband went back in to pick them up because I no longer felt comfortable entering your store. Once again I put the rings on and they were lumpy, scratchy and it was yellowed when I have white gold bands. Upon further inspection, I noticed there was a crack inside the setting of my wedding band. I felt that my rings were not secure and I couldn't wear them so I decided to go to another local jeweler. I had to spend more money to repair multiple cracks on the wedding undercarriage, smooth out the bottom and repair another crack. It was almost completely cracked through the entire undercarriage. It's extremely disappointing to have someone go and ruin your rings which are family heirlooms as well. These rings have been in my family for close to one hundred years. The other jeweler stated that with antique gold, you need to be careful when heating the ring to resize it. She said that too much heat was used and it cause cracking in my rings. This entire experience was extremely uncomfortable and disheartening. When you were trusting someone with your special jewelry and they take a little care, it is extremely violating. Not once did anybody say that it would be difficult to resize these when I went in originally. But when we picked them up, we were told that it was much more work than he anticipated and did little to fix the situation. If he was unable to complete the job in a way that the ring looked nice and felt nice. Then he should've called me and stopped what he was doing. I have the receipt from the other jeweler stating all of the problems that were caused and they needed to fix. I did not take pictures of the crappy work because I was just so upset and wanted them fixed. read more

There are many jewelers to choose from in the Conejo Valley, but I found the best one! I will only do business at McClave. I brought in an antique ring (that I never wore) and Ron worked with me and explained how to transform it into something I would wear and showcase the diamonds that I already had. I was excited, but never imagined it would look as amazing as it did. My jaw dropped when I picked it up and I can't stop looking at it. The work they do is impeccable and I can't recommend this family business enough! read more

Do NOT trust this jewelry store. We bought a wedding band for our daughter to give to her fiancé and when they took it in to their local jewelry store in AZ to have it sized up, they were told it was not 14K. They tested the band and showed them it was a lesser Karat than was stamped on the inside (possibly 10-12K). This jewelry store is dishonest and their customer service is terrible. read more

Thank you, thank you, thank you - to Joe for replicating a precious and sentimental ring...I know it wasn't easy, but my ex sister in law loves having an identical ring to the one her mother wanted me to have before she passed. I hadn't taken the ring off in three years, since my mother in law had passed and it was then given to me by the family. Joe ensured me he would handle the ring with great care and do his best in replicating this piece - he exceeded all of our expectations. Forever Grateful!! read more

We just had a wonderful experience at McClave Jewelers. When we got married we had decided on a simple eternity band and always told my husband for our 10 year anniversary I really wanted a diamond. While we were away for our 10 year my husband surprised me with a beautiful diamond in a simple setting and said that when we got back we could design a setting that worked best with my eternity band. (Greg actually texted him that day to see how i liked it.) We worked with Greg and Charles and they designed a beautiful ring that matches perfectly. It is truly my perfect ring designed just for me. Thank you McClave. read more

Ron was a huge help! I wanted to get a custom ring with an opal that's been in my family 50 years. It's a present from my grandma. She's purchasing a piece of jewelry for all the girl family members and I told her it would be more special and sentimental to get something custom instead of a random piece of jewelry at Macy's... her second home haha. People on NextDoor recommended McClave so my grandma and I decided to start there. We ended up getting a lot done! Custom ring, I got a ring cleaned... my grandma got her watch fixed, some emeralds set for earrings. I thoroughly recommend McClave for all your jewelry needs! 10/10 read more

Getting an engagement ring when the time is ready is a stressful situation when you have no idea about jewlery. I shopped around dealing with pushy salesmen and everything was over budget. The moment i walked in brian made me feel really comfortable and gave me and education on diamonds value quality ect. We custom made the engagement ring of my wife's dreams. She was extremely happy. Great customer services. Would recommend to anyone read more

The only reason they get one star is because I love my ring which was originally purchased there a few years ago with Steve. Steve is no longer there, and customer service has left with him. I have spoken to two people in regards to trading in my center stone for a bigger one. Total lay down sale. Ready to pay, but no one wants to help. Greg dropped the ball and never got back to me with options or numbers. I decided to try again and called. Spoke to Ron on the phone, who listened to my complaint, took all my info, and yet again I was left with dissapointment. Such a shame during these times when we really wanted to spend our money with a smaller shop instead of the big jewelers. Needless to say, no phone calls back. Oh and beware when going in to ask to have the ring you purchased there cleaned. If the jeweler is busy and trying to leave, you are met with rudeness. Unfortunately, we will never buy at Mcclaves again. Wish steve was still there. read more

This is my all time favorite jeweler! Brian went above and beyond expectations. I purchased my wife's engagement and wedding ring from them.
