    Tons of crystals of all types and sizes and forms
    Adriana M.

    Holy moly this place is fantastic!! I had no idea it was here but Yelpers led me to my new favorite place for crystals!! I'm an energy healer and I needed a pendulum. They had a variety, as well as supplies that I bought to make my own. The owners are SUPER knowledgeable and very friendly, as are the staff (Caesar and Margaret (?) [Sorry if I got those names wrong]!! And the prices are really great... none of the markup that you would get at a "swanky" spiritual store. They even give you a lottery ticket (fingers crossed!) and a piece of baklava! The only difficulty was the fact that they were super busy on a Saturday afternoon so there was definitely a wait to get help. (I'll come midweek next time). But everything else about it made it 100% worth any wait time... I am so appreciative to have found this place! I will definitely be back!!!

    I have nothing but kind words to say about this shop. Organization- fantastic. Customer service- amazing. Variety- great. Pricing- shockingly affordable!! The staff at a crystal shop in La Mesa. Recommend recommended Pacific beats to me after I mentioned that I was looking for a certain size of crystal beads. This shop is located nicely in the Convoy District. It's perfect to stop by for a visit at between your grocery store visits and Boba stops on Claremont Mesa Drive. I bought several sets of beads here. I was extremely impressed and pleasantly surprised by the low prices that I found in the shop. I bought a set of obsidian, fluorite, and labradorite beads. I also purchased some metal wire for making a bracelet, and a small chunk of quartz. My total was less than $40. They offer daily discounts for makers and a 30% discount for people who have their own business! They even gave out some pastries while I was there. It was so lovely to visit. I'll be back again soon for my next crafting project!

    Tigers eye, onyx, obsidian, pearl, etc..

    Best energy, best service, best selection! If you're lucky you get a lotto ticket from the owner. Thank you!!

    I have been going here for 10 years and Pacific Beads is THE best bead, stone, and crystal store in southern California. You cannot change my mind. The owner and staff are the nicest, most knowledgeable, and kindest people I have ever met at a crystal shop. The vibes are immaculate and you can feel it the second you walk in the shop. The selection is insane and turnover is quick. Everytime I cone in they have an entirely new selection of beads, jewelry, and crystals. I have gotten all my prettiest pieces here. From flames, to slabs, to bracelets, to rings, they've got it all. Their prices are also quite literally unbeatable. I have gotten multiple flames here for a steal! Their towers can be as low as three dollars and go all the way up to massive more expensive pieces. No matter how far you are, this is worth the visit! Feel free to ask staff prices and enjoy every second.

    Raw amethyst, prices are by weight and very affordable.

    What a beautiful store! We were greeted with warm smiles, helpful and knowledgeable staff and even yummy treats! Amazing selection of not only beads, but gemstones, precious stones raw and polished, silver jewelry and custom made pieces. So pretty, we spent an hour and it wasn't enough for me and my three girls. The prices are almost like wholesale and we will not ever go anywhere else for all of our treasures.

    Both pendants were purchased here.

    This is my favorite spot for jewelry and crystals!!! The workers are so sweet. Every time I'm there I feel like family and they even recognize me now. I wouldn't go anywhere else for the quality and the price of the jewelry.

    Woot!

    My friend recommended checking this place out so we hurried before they closed for the day. Here was our experience. AMBIANCE Parking: Plaza parking. You shouldn't have any issues really. Vibes - You're in the Convoy area thus generally there's a lot of good food to eat. So feel free to feast before or after you go gem shopping. The place itself is great. The exteriors are not too flashy but once you're in the store, you're in a cave mine with all these gems in different shapes and sizes. You can spend a good 30 minutes here just looking around and talking to the employees. Great for bulk or simple finds. PRODUCTS Awesome! Great selections! I got some hematites (helps reduce anxiety). The bundle set was about $5 which was a pretty good deal. CUSTOMER SERVICE Cesar was great! Knowledgeable about his gems and respectable to all customers. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars | Awesome! Great selections, reasonable prices, and good energy. I had a fond experience here thus I certainly can see myself coming back here. For all your crystal heads, do check this place out! TIPS: * Check their website for live stream sales!

    This place is such a hidden gem (no pun intended). It has such good energy and sooo many eclectic types of crystals to choose from. I saw amethyst wands, Tibetan singing bowls, selenite sticks, sage bundles you name it! The owner is super nice and he has been giving out lottery tickets to visitors for the last twenty plus years, regardless of if you make a purchase or not! They're wholesale store so crystals can be purchased by the pound. When I was here, they had discount for the crystals and 50% off many of the glass beads on the wall.

David didn't ask basic questions like our names, budget, or where we were in the process, and offered little guidance. We are early in the process, so I was hoping to try on different styles to get a sense of my preferences. But after trying on just a couple rings there was no effort to understand my priorities or suggest alternatives. I felt like I had to push just to see more options. Our 2PM appointment was essentially over by 2:05PM. I left feeling sad and disappointed that such an important and special moment was handled with so little care. Before going here, I recommend looking at the other 1 star reviews -- they are honest and I should've listened.

And upon entering the store, I was greeted and only waited a couple of minutes before Linda, who was the sweetest person and answered all my questions about getting a diamond set into a ring. I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I had no clue what I was looking for. Just something that would look good. I was browsing online late one night and bought a loose diamond so now I had to treat myself with getting a ring. But anyways, Linda picked out two rings. I told her I was a modern person and nothing with a vintage feel. The first one she picked out was beautiful and matched my style. Not only did the ring come out better than I imagined. They sized my ring, cleaned it and set the diamond all within less than an hour. Customer service here is amazing. I'm so happy Yelp brought me to Kim Quang jewelry. Most importantly, pricing was fair and upfront and if you aren't there to get jewelry fixed and you want to buy some. They had amazing jewelry throughout their store. Definitely come here and you will find whatever you are looking for.

I saw a birthstone toi et moi ring on Ms. Hailey Bieber and I knew that's exactly where I wanted to take inspiration from. I found the same style, but in my daughters' birthstones, on Diamondful's Etsy page. After reading through reviews, I wanted to make my purchase here. My husband had his reservations about ordering something so expensive online, so we ended up going to a local jeweler. The local jeweler said they would be able to make the same ring for a similar price, so we considered it. However, when I went home to inspect our quote, I noticed that the aquamarine would be an imitation stone. After some light research, I learned that imitation stones can be made of plastic. At that point, I honestly felt deceived, because the jeweler didn't take the time to educate my husband and I on what we would be potentially buying. If we are going to purchase a piece of jewelry that is supposed to commemorate 7+ years of marriage and our 2 kids, it shouldn't have plastic in it. I told my husband that my gut told me we should go online, so he told me to reach out to Diamondful. I messaged Armin and within the first hour, I knew I made the right choice. Armin is extremely fast and efficient in communicating. He's exceptionally knowledgeable and honest when it comes to quality, durability, aesthetics, and practicality. He's also patient and thorough when educating clients like us (very limited jewelry knowledge). We are also so appreciative of his generosity, as he passed on his savings to us for one of the stones to keep us within our budget. The passion he has for his work is really evident in the customer service that he provides. Thank you so much Armin! It was a pleasure working with you and we can't wait to do it again soon!
