I went in to have my Jewelry analyzed and see how much it could be worth. Needless to say, they were no help at all. All they told me was that my things were real gold and real diamonds, but that they couldn't take it since the quality wasn't the best. So then, I said "thank you! I understand but what would you guys price this since everything is real gold and real diamonds and not lab grown" and they said "we don't know" how are you guys a jeweler and don't even know the value of gold and diamonds? Anyways, please go somewhere else very unprofessional and seems like they don't know the value of things since they could not give me even give an estimate of what it would could be worth.

From the moment we walked in, the entire team was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Laís, in particular, made our Rolex purchase an incredibly special and memorable experience.

The experience itself meant just as much to us as the watch, and we are incredibly grateful for the way we were treated throughout the entire process. A heartfelt thank you to the owners and the entire team for making each visit so exceptional. We look forward to returning again soon and creating many more wonderful memories together.

Since I've had the creative bug myself lately Keeza and I chatted about how she got started making some of the beautiful jewelry on display in the shop as an apprentice under Robin. Of note are the pieces made from local sea glass. You can even bring in a piece of sea glass for them and they will make a custom piece of jewelry of your liking. How cool is that! Other jewelry pieces are created using Big Sur jade, gemstones, and shells.

I had dreamed of a custom engagement ring and wedding band that felt unique, timeless, and perfectly "me"--and they exceeded every expectation. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and artistry that went into my rings is truly remarkable.

The end result is more beautiful than I ever imagined--my rings are not only stunning but also meaningful and personal. I am so grateful for the rings they created for me, and I will treasure them forever.

Kocek Jeweler is a family-run artisan shop which is very fitting for Carmel. We visited while we…read morewere on our engagement getaway. What stood out to me was how they talked through how the ring would sit on my hand years from now. They even walked me through how sizing can shift during pregnancy and what that means for future resizing. That kind of perspective only comes from a jeweler who's seen everything. They offer custom fitting on their in-case pieces. The cost was very reasonable for the quality. If you want real craftsmanship from people who actually care about the end result, this is the shop. I'd absolutely return.

Here's how it went down: The gentleman working there engages us (fine and reasonable), but he immediately points out the cheapest item they have and essentially forces my boyfriend to try it on. Okay, we didn't ask. Then, he later tells us that the most affordable item is $3800 - unprompted. Again, we didn't ask. He also discussed a frequent customer that runs a corporation (I won't mention which company for their own privacy), I assume, to further disclose how their patrons are wealthy. Yikes. Throughout this, he would not stop engaging us and he made it very difficult to leave. If you thought we couldn't afford anything in your store, why constantly engage us in a one-sided dialogue? The other workers were also deep in conversation in front of a few of their display cases, blocking them from our line of sight. There was plenty of room to stand elsewhere. What a great sales tactic. It was just an all around strange experience. The items were all fine - not my style, but reasonably someone else's. There's a spring-loaded bracelet that I was almost tempted by, but my goal was to just get out of the establishment. Make sure to only show up if you're flashing designer items or ooze generational wealth out of your pores. Otherwise, based on another review I read and my own personal opinion, you'll be Pretty Woman'd.
