Engagement and wedding band
Lily B.

I love this place so much! My fiancé came here to get my engagement ring and wedding band and they are so friendly and super helpful. I've had to come in and get both rings resized and they are so fast and give you an exact wait time. It's also in a cute center so there's a lot to do if you have to wait!

I'm so glad I decided to drop in MGJ, because I found the perfect ring here for my now fiancé who's still gushing about how much she loves it! I live in the area and have been searching for the ring I wanted to get for awhile before deciding to do a random walk in to MGJ, where I met Eddie and his wife. I knew exactly what I wanted when I walked in, and as soon as I talked to Eddie I could tell how knowledgeable he is. He was not pushy or tried to upsell me in any way. He worked with me on the design of the ring and was accommodating to all my request. You can't put a price on something as significant as an engagement ring, but he was honest and I appreciated that. Eddie provided exceptional service and communication throughout the whole process. The ring arrived sooner than anticipated and it was perfect in every way. I highly recommend MGJ if you're looking for a knowledgeable and honest jeweler for your special day.

Wedding band is from Modern Gems. Engagement ring is from elsewhere

Eddie is amazingly helpful and has a lot of knowledge on diamonds, rings, and sizing. He truly cares for his customers and just wants to help. He's even resizing my engagement ring for free even though I didn't buy it from him. I wanted an eternity wedding band but other jewelers upcharged a lot. I ended up getting my dream band for half the cost that other jewelers were charging because Eddie sells it at wholesale pricing. He also gave us another discount. My ring size is 3.5 so jewelers have to get my size custom made and it's not always a perfect circle. Eddie got ours custom made and it was exactly what I wanted and perfectly round. I'll be recommending all my friends who are getting married to come here for both engagement rings and wedding bands. I wish we found this place earlier when we were engagement ring shopping..

Love it!

Once again Eddie does an amazing job of taking care of me. He is absolutely the best at getting you what you want and every time over delivering on your own expectation. His pricing is way below others and always super high quality. I recently wanted to replace my stone with a lab grown diamond and the price was lower than I expected and the stone size was to die for. But most importantly is he really cares about taking care of you. Thanks Eddie!

Eddie has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He truly is a class act. I walked in on a whim and to my surprise, he had quality pieces and was very knowledgeable. He recommended LESS diamonds on piece for long term comfort. The result was a very fair priced custom ring. We were beyond amazed with the result. You can't get this quality at this price anywhere else. We have ordered custom pieces in the past, this is out favorite one.

Gentlemen Gentlemen listen up, my future husband bought me my gorgeous engagement ring here at Modern Gems Jewelry from Eddie. My fiancé listen to the 3 C's I wanted my engagement ring to have and he nailed it. After he propose I noticed the diamond was a little to high so I contacted Eddie to see if there is way he can lower it. Eddie response was " I can fix it for you, as long that you're happy" ( free of charge). Those words made me cry a little, from obvious the excitement of being engaged to the love of my life but as well Eddie making my dreams come true. According to my fiancé, Eddie worked around his budget and created my dream ring. If anyone is looking for any jewelry or an engagement ring, please go to EDDIE you will not be disappointed.

I went to Modern Gems to pick out an engagement ring for my significant other. I am a complete novice when it comes to jewelry. I spoke with Eddie, who was both knowledgeable and kind. He was very educational in the subject matter and ensured I made an informed decision when making a purchase. He doesn't pressure you to buy his jewelry, but with his beautiful collection and more than fair price, it would be a disservice not to buy from here.

We went back recently and Jacquelyn was such an amazing help! She's very knowledgeable and makes the appointment feel personal and comfortable. She allowed us to take our time going over different options and helped us through the whole process without any judgment. I also brought in my parents to look at upgrade rings and they had a very enjoyable time with Jacquelyn as well. She was able to introduce some new diamond shapes that she felt my mom would like and she was right on the money! My mom loved everything that presented to us. We can't recommend Jacquelyn enough!

I reached out on Yelp asking multiple jewelers about medium thick chains for memorial necklaces…read moresince we want something durable. Guy from Jeweler's Touch stood out in his quick responses and helpfulness. When we arrived that evening to speak to someone, Brandon was amazing. He was friendly, super patient, and explained everything. He understood how difficult it was to look for rose gold chains, especially when thicker too. I was super indecisive and he gave me all the time in the world to look through their gold book which had all kinds of designs and thickness scaled to life size so I could place my pendant on it to imagine how it would look. He also brought out samples of chain types as I picked out ones to see if I'd like the look in person. He ended up finding an estate gold chain that looked absolutely perfect for my husband's pendant in shine and style. We tried it for a few days (they give you 30 days hassle-free) and my husband knew it wasn't the right length of style for his personal preference and our tuggy toddlers within one day. It was gorgeous and I wished it worked out, but maybe not for us. We came back a few days later after Christmas Eve and Brandon helped me out again with the return and gave me suggestions for the length of my husband's necklace based on preference. I saw people coming in and out during the two times I went and I see why. These people are amazing, patient, knowledgeable, super friendly and not pushy at all. They want to help make happy customers who are looking for that perfect jewelry. Although we are still on the search for the "perfect" chain for each of us (we are not major jewelry people but need this to be just right for us in every way), I appreciate the help that Jeweler's Touch gave and would recommend them for anyone looking for a custom piece or specific jewelry services.

Jewelry Mart consists of different vendors individually run by different companies, think of it…read morelike a gem fair with different booths, so given the plentiful choices, which vendor you end up with ultimately determines your experience, and I hope you'll choose the right one like what I did! I have found some beautiful jewelry at Beautiful Jewelry! (Inside the Jewelry Mart. As you walk straight down the entrance hallway, the 2nd booth on your right.) John and his wife Sim are kind, friendly, helpful, honest and knowledgeable, which are all valuable qualities a customer needs in their jewelers, especially nowadays in an era of information and advertisement overload. Their collections are elegant, classy and just simply beautiful. I love everything they have and it's hard not to pick out something that you like from various styles of diamond rings (you can pick a mounting and a loose stone separately), bracelets, necklaces, also some jewelry with precious and semi-precious colored stones like sapphire, ruby, emerald, amethyst, citrine, tourmaline, etc. The best is, if you have a specific request of a style, design or a stone, they can make it happen because of their network and years of experience in the industry. On top of everything, their prices are reasonable! I love my sapphire ring, and my friend loves his custom-designed opal ring. He just showed John a picture of the design he wanted with a loose opal stone he bought from the opal fair in Orange County, and John turned his fantasy into reality! John and Sim are probably some of the most authentic, honest and nicest people you will encounter, and their excellent work ethic will undoubtedly deliver a pleasant and positive experience for all their customers. Other vendors in the Mart seemed nice too but I had no personal experience with any of them other than with Beautiful Jewelry. It's after all a good place to look around and shop with so many choices! Jewelry is an expensive purchase. Although big chain jewelers SEEM to offer more assurance, the jewelry here often comes with certificate from a reputable lab like EGL or GIA (Gemological Institute of America) and therefore you can rest assured you know what you're buying. Support local business and get good deals, you don't want to pay for the TV commercials by big corporate chains!

I had a great experience at Robbins Brothers today, specifically thanks to Eric…read more As someone who deeply appreciates horological pieces and the craftsmanship behind a fine movement, it was a breath of fresh air to "talk shop" with someone who actually understands the nuances of quality. Eric is incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire process feel like a partnership rather than a transaction. While Mary does a fantastic job taking care of my wife Priscilla's jewelry needs, I'm glad to say I've officially found "my guy" for my side of things. What I appreciated most was Eric's willingness to help me look toward the future. My daughters are still in their teens, but I've started investing now in high-quality rings and men's bracelets for my future sons-in-law and daughter-in-law. I want to ensure these legacy pieces are secured for their major lifetime events, and I trust Eric's eye to help me find the right items as they come across his desk. If you want someone who respects your time and shares a genuine passion for fine pieces, ask for Eric.

Pam, who has been in the business for at least 30 years, was referred to me by an old family friend who lives in the area. I just like to buy myself some nice gifts once in a while, and wanted to check out their inventory. I was not disappointed! Not only did she pay attention to details about what I wanted and what kind of jewelry I liked, but she was very patient with me and took all the time in the world to make sure I was completely satisfied. She showed me a variety of options and combinations. Andy, was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful during the process as well!

Andy was kind enough to spend some time thoroughly explaining and showing the differences between diamonds to us. The following weekend we returned with the ring and also met Pam which both of them showed us how the ring would look with different cuts, clarity and color. They worked with our budget and presented beautiful options to us. My absolute favorite thing about working with Pam was that rather than pushing me to go bigger since most woman tend to want to upgrade later, she really understood that I just simply like more simple and danity things. They really helped us narrow down the type we would want and they both learned our taste fairly quickly. From there on out, this was our go to shop. Andy has also assisted us in creating custom pieces of jewerly including necklace pendents and my husband's custom wedding band to match the design of my enegagment ring. They have been so patience with us and has always delivered on their end . We even let both our parents tag along with us and to my surprised my mother in-law, mother and father had purchased jewelry from them as well. As time progressed and our wedding date got closer, my husband purchased my wedding band here including the dowry (in my culture the dowry is bride's gift present from teh ro). Pam knew exactly what my taste was based on our previous encounters along with the pieces I would admire which made the process of completing the dowry set much easier on my husband. Their shop does not typically carry many pieces of 24k gold since its not the most popular item to sell but at the resquest can bring in absolutely beautifully stunning pieaces. I had shown them the type of jewerly I would like that would fulfill the dowry and they definitly delivered. They worked with my husband picking out pieces that matched the idea of what I would love. They are very helpful, knowledgable and really take the time to help you find what you want. We have grown so close to the both of them during this journey that they literally feel like family to us. We still keep in touch til this day. I have recommened them to all my family and friends. This will forever be my go to shop.
