I have always been fascinated with this place because I am a Rolex fan. I finally broke down and…read morebought a Vintage Submariner from Jonathan and was super happy. After about 3 weeks I started to think that a Vintage watch wasn't really what I needed and when a small bracelet issue came up, I took it back to ask them to look at it. While I was there we discussed my concerns about wearing an older watch everyday and he helped me find a much younger Sea Dweller, which is perfect for my daily routine. He was able to make me a great deal on re-stocking my original buy and sold me my new watch without any problems! He is great to work with and is extremely knowledgeable! Great store and I highly recommend Jonathan!

We had an exceptional experience working with Tarang at Hal Martin's. From start to finish, the…read moreprocess felt professional, transparent, and completely personalized. Tarang helped us source the perfect 10.61 carat F/VVS2 radiant diamond, and the quality is incredible. The stone is beautifully proportioned and set with stunning craftsmanship, including a hidden halo and bridge detail that sparkle from every angle. What meant just as much to me was that he transformed my original engagement stone into a gorgeous pendant. Preserving that sentimental piece while creating something new was very important to me, and it was handled with such care. We never felt pressured -- only guided by honest expertise. If you're looking for exceptional quality and a jeweler who truly cares, I highly recommend Tarang and the team at Hal Martin's.

Starting with pictures of things I like, making 3D mock up for me to try on, and then bringing in diamonds to try in that model. They stand by their work and every time I go in they take my jewelry from me and clean it. This is also a family owned small business from right here in Houston. I have got to know the family pretty well and they are invested in customer happiness. This is the best not place I will ever buy fine jewelry. Be

Marco made what should have been an enjoyable, exciting experience into one that was surprisingly…read morefrustrating. We made it clear from the start what we wanted (a simple gold ring with an olive green sapphire for her and a matching ring and inlaid stone for me) and our budget range. Marco consistently responded with the wrong material, suggestions outside our price range, or some other frustration. At the bottom is a link to our text history, first from my partner's number and then mine (the experience was making her stressed and she wanted me to take over). I've annotated it for easy consumption to show how we were constantly fighting an uphill battle trying to get him to listen to our needs/wants only to be ignored. We tried to remain pleasant and understanding throughout but it became harder and harder as it became obvious he wasn't interested in listening to us. So we decided to not pursue our rings with him further. We found it hard to trust something so special and important to someone who can't follow simple requirements. Or someone who kept giving us options outside of our price range, and who now wants us to trust their judgement and not give any further estimates (even if we brought in our own stones). Or someone who simply seemed disinterested in what we had to say. I confronted him with our texts, explained how we felt, and asked for at least a part of our $500 deposit back. He refused, and when I started to go over our texts to show why we felt justified in asking for our money back, he said the texts "make him look stupid". Well here are the texts for everyone to see his own words, you can make the call yourself. Other gems from our last meeting include him claiming his time is worth $450/hour (to explain keeping the whole deposit) and a "funny" anecdote where he initially estimated $2,500 to repair a ring and ended up charging $12,000 (to justify why he can't give estimates). I have our meeting recorded (single party consent state) if anyone is interested. As a small business owner myself, dealing with shifting and unknown requirements, I understand it's hard to give a price only for something unexpected to pop up, but what I don't understand is how you can treat a customer with such inattention and disregard and still feel justified in keeping any amount of money. I would be filled with shame if I treated a customer this way and then refused to empathize with their experience. Marco strikes me as someone who is excellent to work with if your visions and budget align, but he is disinterested in what you have to say or think if they don't and isn't capable of seeing things from any point of view but his own. Text messages: https://imgur.com/a/JYF3Fm5 Edit: per the owner's response, they tried working with us within our budget; given that the budget was clearly stated at $4k and the the suggested gems themselves were near or more than that, it's pretty obvious Marco either cannot read or was planning on doing the gold ring + labor for free.

I first went here 8 years ago on a recommendation from a friend to turn my grandmothers diamond…read morering into a necklace and it came out absolutely gorgeous. It's truly stunning and still shines like the day I picked it up. I've held on to some of my grandmothers pieces for 30 years, lived all over the country and waited until I moved back to Houston to bring these other rings to be resized so I can look down and remember my grandmother is still with me. There's 9000 jewelry stores in Houston, but if you want something custom made, and feel weary about who you can entrust a family heirloom to, bring it here. I only have three tokens of my grandmother left after all of these years and I've entrusted Sethi's with all of them. All the things that I would grab if my house were on fire, I've left with them, that means trust and a customer for life. I'm certainly not a high roller, I'm just your average nurse who works really hard and wants to treat myself every once in a while to something pretty, but I've always been welcomed like I'm the only person in the store when I come in. I think everyone has that experience here and why they have such loyal customers. I can't wait to see how they fixed up an 80 year old ring today. I think I might even treat myself to another piece of happiness when I get there. Update: came out better than I even imagined. And I treated myself to something I'll cherish forever.

In both locations the staff were incredibly friendly and they had amazing selections of jewelry, and watches, which was more so what I was looking at. While I didn't end up buying anything, I just want to call out Tarek (not sure how to spell it)- this sales associate was the brightest gem in the store. His immense knowledge level (without being diminutive of all the information I clearly didn't know), overall friendliness, and presence was a delight. I learned a lot on that visit, got plenty of inspiration, and immediately gained trust for that store overall based on my experience with him! I'll be back again once I'm actually ready to make a purchase!

Today, I found Estate Watch & Jewelry Buyers (AKA Houston Gold Buyers) online and the reviews seemed better. I went here first with two others I never needed. This 35+ year business is run by a father-daughter team. Very small and friendly. They have a machine that scans for gold or silver content and will also indicate gold plate, copper, etc. Everything seemed very fair. They have to make a profit so don't expect full gold value, etc. I sold a small gold coin and 3 rings and was paid with cash. They do thumbprints, pictures and ID checks. All above board and I appreciate the security checks. Highly recommend! Rw
