I took a couple bracelets to get extra links added so I could wear them comfortably. Aram did an amazing job and was very reasonably priced. I'm so happy I get to wear my bracelets now. read more

Aram is a creative and artistic force of nature and an incredibly good human being to boot. After 25+ years of working together, Aram has created exquisite custom pieces for three generations of my family. He isn't just a repairman, but a master craftsman. read more

Aram is very experienced and passionate in his craft as a silversmith. I happened to remember seeing his jewelry repair sign on the window because I live in the neighborhood and always drive by on my way home. I am so happy I met him, he is a wealth of knowledge, wise and the sweetest person. When he polished my Gucci ring to get rid of some tarnishing, we had great conversation and I learned so much about him and his work. He walked me through the process and what he was going to do. He's done work for major shows and motion pictures! It's so crazy and fun to see all the work he's done. He's a local gem that took care of me and provided excellent services. I'll definitely be back and recommend him to anyone. Tip: He may or may not be there during advertised hours, so I suggest contacting him before you head to the shop so he knows to expect you. read more

Renaissance Repair Shop - Custom wedding band - Jewelry Near Me - Brea, California

Excellent experience and craftsmanship. Highly recommend. If you need a piece of jewelry repaired definitely go here.

I will never go anywhere else for any of my jewelry needs. Aram is a stellar person who is extremely talented at what he does. I first met him several years ago while looking for someone to resize a bracelet of mine. We immediately hit it off, and I ended up chatting with him for several hours. We talked about everything from the art pieces he has on display, to his time as a soldier. I discovered that he is not a jeweler, he is a silversmith. The difference is that he is skilled at working with all kinds of metals; repairing, creating, and customizing. When you walk into the shop, if you look carefully you will start to recognize a LOT of the pieces on display. Hollywood chooses to work with Aram, and you will notice pieces such as the coin from the movie "Drive Angry", to the book from "The Da Vinci Code", to the Matrix of Leadership from the first Transformers movie. This should be your first clue that Aram knows what he is doing. Your second clue will come when you start asking him about custom work. When I was ready to propose to my wife, I called on Aram. I was very specific about what I wanted, and he took the time to ask all the right questions to make sure I would be satisfied with his work. He offered suggestions where my imagination was lacking, and took notes on the things that I was adamant about. Within a few days, Aram sent me a computerized drawing of our creation. Giddy with excitement, I approved the drawing and within 3 days he sent me a picture and video of my ring made in plastic or "wax". My heart starting to race, I once again approved the model. 9 days later, Aram sends me the first pictures of my completed ring! It was perfect!! Even better, when I presented this ring to my then fiance, she said YES!! Aram is not just my jeweler, he is my friend. He is an artist who takes great pride in what he does. You will not find a kinder jeweler, nor will you find one who gives you a more fair price for his work. Food for thought: When you go to one of those name brand jewelry stores to get your precious items repaired, those jewelry stores will send their work to Aram and then charge you up to 10 times more than he charges them. Think about that. I could write paragraph after paragraph about my experiences with Aram, but I'm going to close by letting my pictures speak for themselves. Let me also say, that this ring did not cost nearly as much as you would expect it to cost. If you're still on the fence after reading my review....what is wrong with you? Go check Rennaisance Repair Shop out!! read more

I had a delicate gold ring that needed to be repaired and Aram did an excellent job repairing it and shining it to look like new. I'm extremely happy with the repair work and wonderful costumer service. I will definitely be returning with any future jewelry repair needs. read more

I had been looking for a jeweler to size a small collection of silver rings and fix some earrings. When I called, Aram answered the phone and told me to come by his shop. He treated me so well and he really knows his craft. Full of knowledge he guides you step by step through the process of his work. A real professional yet you leave feeling like family. read more

Thanks to Aram I am able to wear my wedding and engagement rings again. I hadn't been able to wear them for over two years, and am so happy and grateful I get to wear them again. Aram was thorough in explaining the process of resizing. And as others have said, he has a wealth of stories and wisdom to share. Something that should be so simple as human connection feels so overcomplicated these days, but in Aram's shop you can find rest from that. Thank you Aram! read more

A very fine jeweler and a very kind and generous soul to boot. Cleaned and repaired my jewelry and did some for me at no charge. His taste is excellent, and has a fine eye for the extraordinary and unusual stuff I love. Anything you are looking for he either has or can get for you. Very fine pieces of older estate type things that should be in the drooling section. LOL. Go no further. This is the best place in So. Cal for all your jewelry needs. read more

Aram was able to fix a necklace for me. He was very friendly and helpful and offered competitive pricing compared to other places. Great choice if you're flexible with time. Cash only, and message the shop first before going in. read more

I needed a white gold replacement chain for a diamond pendant and decided to visit Aram at Renaissance. I was overwhelmed at the length he went to in finding the exact chain to suit my needs. He actually brought 12 or so chains from his source in LA for me to look at. This was such a small purchase but again he wanted to make sure the chain was going to be exactly what I wanted. The shop was busy at the time and another lady there also loved the chains...She bought one as well...When I got home I got a call from Aram saying he was so sorry but that he was so busy tending to customers he accidentally overcharged me $15. I was astonished at this businessman's honesty and integrity. He had also suggested rhodium instead of white gold chain when I first ordered and honestly I preferred the rhodium. He could have made another $200 $250 if I had gone with white gold ....He definitely cares about his customers. He can find you any type of jewelry ...rings, bracelets, white gold, yellow gold, whatever..It is an honor to have this type of small business in Brea. read more

I have been coming to Aram for at least 7 years and I have had many jewelers that I have worked with. He continues to amaze me with his repairs and design and hands down Aram is absolutely amazing!!! Everything he has made me is above amazing. He's so kind and patient and is amazingly talented!!! His knowledge is top notch he is 9 generation silver and gold smith and works with the movie industry. I have no idea how he has the time to do what he does. I have and will continue to send all my friends and family. You will never go wrong trusting Aram! Thank you Aram for your hard work and your professionalism. read more

Aram was amazing today! I came in and I was greeted as if I were family and he asked me to come behind the counter and sit with him as we discussed the repair of my wife's ring. Though the repair and cleaning took only minutes, we talked for an hour as he shared part of his story ( which I found fascinating). Aram has accomplished so much and his high quality work speaks for itself! I felt very at ease and his attention to detail won me over as he explained the importance of maintenance and wear and tear on jewelry. He has some pretty cool pieces in his shop and I will be back with my wife to plan a new ring for our 15th Anniversary! Thank you Aram! I appreciate you! read more

I dropped in unannounced in the afternoon for a watch battery replacement. Aram replaced my battery in minutes and allowed me to watch as he did the work. A professional, knowledgable, and kind man. I will be back again. read more

Mr Aram Melkonyan is not only a fine jeweler but a true artist. His Work is so beautiful, he works quickly and his prices are very reasonable. He's a pleasure to talk to and I enjoy going to him for any of my jewelry needs. there's no job he can't do, he's a master craftsman. read more

Hey. Yeah you. It is your lucky day. You can stop looking now... cause you just found the perfect guy for your next jewelry project, repair, or purchase. His name is Aram Melkonyan--a true master jeweler craftsperson. His family has been in the jewelers craft for over six generations, and he has spent the greater part of his human life working in the trade. Receiving his higher education in Moscow, he is: a polyglot, a historian, an artist, skilled, honest, funny, chill, friendly, fair, kindred-spirit, down-to-earth, humble and sincere; Aram is the literal gift of the universe to the local population around the Brea and Greater Los Angeles Area for ALL jewelry related needs... ...But seriously, it has been a damn pleasure getting to know this guy. I've gotten the benefit to know him over the past few months and he has done amazing custom jewelry work for myself, my fiance, my mother, Game of Thrones (ya friggin G.O.T.), Ozzy Osbournes $50,000 silver skull ring (ask him for the story), several Hollywood productions, and many other reputable individuals. He also has a collection of rare, antique, and custom jewelry that he has for sale at prices within reason. Aram will get what you want done, exactly how you want it (given you explain it clearly), all for a reasonable price--and if you're lucky and have the time, you'll get a few free entertaining stories as well. Your only problem might be securing his limited time among his many customers who also want his talents for themselves as well (not a big deal if you call ahead--recommended). Give him a call, set up an time that works, and when you're there, tell him you read Sam's review on Yelp, and he might tell you the laughable story about the guy who once "Wanted to get married" ;) read more

Thanks to Yelp, I found the Renaissance Repair Shop. The owner, Aram, can repair anything, and I so appreciated the bonus of meeting a most interesting and special person. I brought in a variety of pieces of jewelry that I have neglected over time, mostly sterling silver, that needed resizing, fixing, cleaning, and a watch that needed a new battery. Aram methodically looked at each piece and explained what he could do to improve it. It quickly became very clear to me that Aram is very knowledgeable about all kinds of jewelry and is a master craftsman. He fixed every piece perfectly! I was so excited to have found him that I came back the following day with a few more pieces that also needed some attention. It turns out that Aram is a true artist in his own right, and shared samples of his beautiful work. He shared all kinds of fascinating stories about his life and his family. The entire experience was a true pleasure! Believe me when I say, I will be returning to the Renaissance Repair Shop, perhaps to get some jewelry fixed, and definitely to visit with Aram. read more

Great service and excellent pricing. Adam is great to work with. Can't ask for anything more from him. I just needed my wedding ring to be polished and clean and it was done in no time right on the spot. read more

I am so grateful to have purchased a custom engagement ring made by Aram. He has so much experience in his trade and it shows through his beautiful work. This man is gifted, creative, kind, and very genuine. Just talking to Aram is a wonderful experience that added value to the engagement ring he made for my fiance. Months before I was referred to Aram, I had searched for a special engagement ring for my fiance at all the name-brand jewelry stores only to see the same styles over and over; even the smaller shops were missing that "special something" in their jewelry that didn't match the "specialness" of my fiance's character. I didn't trust the engagement rings I saw online and their prices were ridiculous. As a tattoo artist, I like original one-of-a-kind pieces and that is what I hoped for in my fiance's engagement ring--something unique, significant, and outstanding. I was getting frustrated because i could not find a ring I liked. Then I met Aram and he met my needs. He created an outstanding engagement ring that I was proud to give to my fiance. Aram is a genuine man full of wisdom, humor, and knowledge. His workmanship is exceptional! His attention to detail is awesome. I recognize an artist when I see one and that is what I see in Aram--a gifted and experienced jeweler and craftsman. He listened to my concerns and ideas about the engagement ring I was looking for. I wanted a ring that was bold, feminine, with some filigree. Most importantly I wanted an engraved feather to symbolize Psalm 91:4. Aram did not hesitate, he gave me wonderful input and advise, and he was genuinely interested in creating the ring. And that is not all, Aram quoted me a fair and acceptable price!! I was so relieved and excited after our first meeting. I feel blessed to do business with Aram and my fiance is overjoyed with her engagement ring! Because I didn't give Aram the correct ring size, he resized it for us. My fiance and future stepdaughter were so pleased to meet him. We will continue to do business with Aram soon for our wedding bands. With all joy and confidence, I recommend Aram to anyone who desires special custom work or anyone who needs simple fixes on jewelry, watches, frames or anything that involves metals. It is not just business with Aram, it is a wonderful experience. I hope you are encouraged to call Aram for an appointment; enjoy your business with him. read more

It's interesting that we are here with Aram right now and he doesn't know who Daniel W is. I think this is just an interesting way to misdirect and send people to his (Daniels) jewelry store. Probably a more ethical way of getting people to go to Geiger jewellery is just to do a good job like Aram does. read more

My bf and I had to get my ring resized because it was to big. We went to a comercial jewelry place and they said $110 just to sized a half size down they would have to wipe the inscription. We then found this place and he was so kind and knowledgeable. He was able to save the inscription and size it down for $20. He showed us pictures of himself in the military in the 60's and talked to us while he did the resizing in front of us. Took 45 min tops. Would recommend. read more

I came a couple of weeks ago for a ring with marquise cut diamonds on it. One of the stones came completely undone and another one was loose. My mom passed it down to me which was also passed down from my grandmother, so the ring is a bit old, probably purchased in the 1970s or 80s, so it doesn't have the fancy precision settings that are common today. Anyway, I found this place through handy dandy Yelp and I am so glad I did! Friday morning, around 10:00 am or so, no one else was there. It's a little shop right on the corner of a stop light and I almost didn't find it. The owner, Aram, greeted me so warmly, I almost felt like a close, close friend. I brought out the ring and showed him my dilemma and showed him where my mom put crazy glue several times to try and hold the stone down. Kids - I repeat - DO NOT use crazy glue for jewelry, real jewelry at least. Fake - maybe. Real - Don't. You'll end up losing whatever piece you tried to glue. So fast forward, Aram tells me he can fix this in about 15 minutes. I'm like - 15 minutes?! But how much is this going to cost me, because in my head I was thinking I'd be slapped with a bill I didn't have the money for... But he told me the price - and I was soooo relieved and happy. It was lower than what I had thought or imagined. And in 15 minutes?! Sign me up! So I waited there, and while he worked his magic, we talked about family, life, work, kids, house ..... He cleaned the glue, tightened whatever needed to be tightened, re-set the two stones, then polished it. He even gave me tips on jewelry. I really don't own too many, but this ring is special since it was my grandmother's who was my greatest inspiration in life. After more than two years of not wearing this ring, I finally got to wear it. read more
