I went to Solano Jewelers to have some necklace chains repaired. They were able to help me immediately and did a very thorough job. And, best of all, they didn't even charge me! read more

Great service! I had a Tag watch that needed a major repair and overhaul. I posted on a site that sent my need to several jewelry stores. Solano was first to respond, open and honest about their process, and delivered on time. It was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but it was a Tag, so that goes with the territory. Their customer service was top notch. read more

My fiancé worked with Solano Jewelers to design my dream engagement ring and it turned out better than I could have imagined. They took his vision and brought it to life perfectly! We went back in last week to get my ring resized and they were so helpful and had it ready to pick up in just a few days. Such friendly service and could not recommend enough! read more

Friendly service. Had my ring soldered and it was ready when promised. Excellent work!

Quick watch band adjustment and battery change in 20 minutes. Very nice place. I will definitely come back next time I need a battery.

Normally, I don't like to give bad reviews on any business but thought I'd warn folks in this case. They tried to "pull a fast one" on my to the tune of $500+ and I caught them. I brought in a gold/diamond watch just for a battery. The watch is worth ~$10K. They swapped out the battery but when I got home, the watch wasn't running. I brought it back in and they told me it needed "servicing". I asked them to doublecheck the battery in case it was faulty- they said the new battery was fine. They then told me that fine watches like mine should be serviced every few years and this can cost between $500-$1000 or more. They said they'd have an expert look at and then give me an estimate (no charge for the diagnostic). A week later, the estimate came back at over $500. I decided to not get the service and just pick up the watch. I then decided to go to the jeweler I normally go to in Alamo. The next day, I brought the watch to my regular jeweler saying it needed a new battery (no mention of the "servicing" Solano tried to sell me). They asked me to wait while they swapped out the battery. 10 minutes later, $20, my watch was just fine, running beautifully. And still ticking a week later. Oh, and get this- the folks at Solano tried to "warn" me that if I didn't get the watch serviced right then that the cost of the service may go up significantly (like several hundred dollars more!) in the future due to the uncertainty of tariffs and cost of buying parts... what a load of bunk! Sorry to see the lack of integrity. read more

Very knowledgeable staff and low pressure sales environment. They also repaired a current piece at a reasonable price.

I've taken many pieces into Solano Jewelry for redesigning or repair as well as purchased some of their gorgeous jewelry. I can't say enough about the friendly, knowledgeable staff and their impeccable, updated design sensibilities. They've created such pretty pieces from older jewelry that was just sitting in a drawer -- I now get to wear and enjoy them! I've recommended Solano Jewelers to many friends who feel the same way. It's really fun to go in there too -- I've just dropped in without an appointment and they're kind and welcoming. read more

I took a pearl ring in for a repair. Everyone here was friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful. Great customer service. My ring was repaired perfectly and they only charged me $10! Great experience. I will be back when I'm ready for something new. read more

I came to get my engagement ring repaired. A prong needed to be secured on my diamond. They were able to reinforce the ring in an 1 hour. Very friendly staff! And they even gave me a good deal. read more

I went in to get my watch band adjusted and they said they could do it for 10.00$ while I waited. In that time they cleaned my wife's wedding ring ...and when I payed the 10$ watch adjustment they saw my old giant paper clip wallet that I have been using for 25 years and said " I think we have a gold plated one in the back if you want to upgrade?"of course not real gold platting but the gesture was real!!! Wonderful people!!! Can't wait for an occasion to buy jewelry for my ladies!! read more

My ring finger was swollen and my ring was too tight. I stopped in to Solano Jewelers and had it cut off at no charge. The owner, Aline Aghababian, did the honors! She could not have been nicer as was Betsy Bergman who also works there. It's so hard to find any kind of good service these days and when I do come across someone who cares about their work I want to commend them. I will definitely go back to Solano Jewelers! read more

I have walked past this shop a lot of times and looked at the beautiful pieces in the window but recently a ring just "spoke" to me. This could be a very long review, but let's just say these folks did EVERYTHING to make sure I was satisfied with my order. I had so many questions and concerns about the design. We had to change it 3 times and they were so gracious and friendly throughout the whole process. Great employees all! Beautiful pieces. I highly recommend them either for picking one of their pieces or designing your own with their help. read more

Great job and small repairs on jewelry. Staff is kind and attentive. Work performed quickly.

I needed to re-size my hand-crafted wedding ring after wearing it for 55 years. Solano had to add to the band and re-create the original pattern. Beautifully done-- it's impossible to tell where one the ring they did it. The work was beyond my expectations, completed on time and reasonably priced. And it was a pleasure to deal with the staff. We are fortunate to have such a professional, high quality jeweler like Solano in Lafayette. read more

I have to say that I remembered at the last minute that tomorrow was my anniversary. A big one. Lost track of the date but I knew I needed to replace my husbands wedding band which he lost. I drove to Solano Jewelers in Lafayette. To my dismay they were closed but walking back to my car, the owner asked can I help you. I pleaded my case and he said give me a few minutes. No less than ten minutes later I walked out a very happy customer with a brand new gold wedding band. read more

Every member of this family run business is a gem! Personal and professional at the same time. Gorgeous jewelry - something for everyone! I had a custom ring done and some jewelry refashioned out of old. My daughter had a family heirloom wedding ring modernized while retaining the sentiment just in time for her wedding - all with the owner Aline as a careful, thoughtful guide. Solano Jewelers! Love love LOVE! read more

I could not be more pleased with my experience with Aline and Solano Jewelers. I gave her a picture of what I wanted and two rings that had most of the stones. Two weeks later I had my full custom design perfectly replicated at a very reasonable cost. Everyone I show my new family heirloom is gushing over the work! I cannot recommend this jeweler more highly and look forward to purchasing more treasures from them! Tell your friends! The picture I posted does not do this ring justice! read more

Great business that is prompt service and efficient service staff. Thanks! Very convenient to Highway 24 #. We will return for other reasons! read more

I came here and bought a necklace for my girlfriend's birthday. A little bit pricey but worth it it's very authentic.

Email ahead of time to ask about fixing my wife's Rolex, provided description and photo, they said to "bring in right away" so we can fix it and stop the damage. Upon arriving, they informed me they "outsource" the repairs to an outside service and repairs are only process once a week, I have to wait until next week. They should be more up front about their processes and not mislead customers. read more

We received excellent customer service. We had an antique ring beautifully resized. There was an existing crack in the stone due to everyday wear and they were able to reshape and resize the ring carefully. We couldn't be happier with the results. read more

We've been customers for over a decade. We couldn't wait for the opportunity to travel up north and check out the newly renovated location. It looks amazing!! Very modern, spacious, and welcoming. There certainly was a lot of thought, effort, and dedication to continue their commitment to not only service the surrounding neighbors, but also appealing for customers ourselves who live over 500 miles down south. Besides the amazing selection and customer service, we have had a loyal relationship because of their guidance and most importantly their trust. We trust the best value, and best product hands down! Being a military veteran myself, it is admiral and we look forward to our long term relationship. Thank you and great seeing you Aline and Aren. read more

Went in for a pickup for my wife because my normal jeweler was closed and couldn't have had a better experience. There was a great selection on hand and even was gifted a nice bottle of Don P. Will definitely be back. Amazing customer service as well. read more

My mother fled Iran in 1979 and was able to bring a select few pieces of jewelry with her. One of these pieces was a stunning silver necklace, to which the last 40 years had not been kind. I was ready to throw it away, but after reading previous reviews I took the piece to Solano Jewelers. Enter Aline, Aren, Betsy and their team. Not only did they restore the necklace to all its glory, but everyone was simply a dream to work with!! I also brought in my grandmother's engagement ring from 194and it was magically transformed into a stunning bezel solitaire and a daily-wear ring. Thank you for giving me the gift of family heirlooms I can pass on to my kids. I am a customer for life! read more

Suffice it to say that I'm not a great shopper - clothes are a stretch for me, so jewelry is really out of my league. And I guess that is the notion of jewels - they're special and expensive and not a daily purchase. Most of my reviews, for that reason, are about coffee shops. That being said, I've lived in the Thousand Oaks neighborhood for most of my life and it's time I pay tribute to some of the stalwart businesses of my 'hood. Solano Jewelers is truly a neighborhood shop that has saved me many a Mothers' Day. I've been to the store over the years many times for all sorts of occasions; back when I still wore watches (before eventually losing them all every time I played pickup basketball) I would come here to get my batteries switched. Great for bat mitzvah gifts. They even helped me tighten a loose screw on my sunglasses once, which feels above and beyond the job requirements. I most appreciate that I've always been treated as if I am an important customer. Though I'll never spend millions on diamonds, the employees here are always warm and kind. Also, they have good prices for plebeians like me if I do end up buying a lil somethin' special. read more

great service. Guy at the counter was very helpful, great manners, easy to talk to, friendly. Fixed my necklace in 5 minutes. Glad I stopped by. read more

I have been coming to this store for years. Aline is just wonderful with customer support!

Called in on a Sunday and had a pleasant and welcoming call with Jane regarding having my engagement ring and wedding band resized. Came in on a Tuesday to drop off my rings with Aren (sorry if that's misspelled) and jacky was able to resize both rings by the end of the day. By Thursday, my rings were too tight (summer time heat) so Friday morning I called and was able to drop off the rings to get resized again. By the end of the day, the rings were finished but upon trying them on they were still a bit too tight. Aline, her husband, and son were all so accommodating and reassuring that my rings would be fixed before going home. Small gestures of customer service is always a win. From making sure someone always answers the phones, to even helping me put quarters in the meter because I was handling a fussy newborn. Thank you for the awesome customer service . read more

Highly recommend Solano Jewelers! Aline is warm and friendly as is her son and associate worker. She's knowable and passionate about her business, clients and the pieces they bring in. She remembers her clients, their family treasures and the stories that come with it. It's a family business and has that small business community-tied vibe which I love. The building is unassuming, you can almost miss it but inside it's very professional, well lit and typical jewelry store atmosphere. My piece was examined by the finest folks in biz and although it wasn't worth a million bucks, I never felt that my modest little ring was too insignificant and not worth her time. She was just as appreciative of its beauty and character as before learning it wasn't exactly the hope diamond. Aline went above and beyond in professionalism and was a pleasure working with. Professional, knowledgeable staff, family business with friendly service, what more could you ask for? Thank you! read more

Wonderful customer service! They are friendly, fast and carry unique pieces. A+

Not only does Solano Jewelers have the most stunning jewelry, they are incredibly trustworthy, knowledgeable and competitively priced. I came in to browse during their grand opening and walked away having found my "go to" jewelry store. Aline, the owner, has decades of experience in fine jewelry and watches. I'm so happy to welcome them to the neighborhood! read more

This review is specifically for anyone who visited Oaks Jewelers when they used to be on Solano Ave. in Berkeley! When I discovered that my beloved Oaks had, just like my family, moved to the other side of the tunnel, I was thrilled! When I lived in Berkeley Oaks was my go-to place for jewelry and watch repair and purchase. A few weeks ago, I went to Solano Jewelers to, once again, buy a new watch (after losing my previous Oaks purchase!). I discovered that Solano Jewelers is not exactly Oaks transplanted as I had hoped. While the kind and helpful customer service was the same, this "new Oaks" is much swankier (and, I think, more expensive) than "old Oaks" was. They also no longer sell watches (much less the inexpensive Timex watch I was looking for!), instead focusing on higher-end jewelry. I was somewhat disappointed to see how the shop had changed in its move. Ultimately, I will certainly come back in the future when I need something like a ring repair, but I wanted to share my experience for those who, like me, might be surprised to find these changes. read more
