I received a custom order silver ring I'd purchased. I did not size my finger correctly due to my…read moreown over-approximation of my abilities, I thought it was much larger. Some people say this is common for men, hehe....I digress. I investigated online for how feasible and financially palatable a feat of this magnitude might be. The results provided by Google were optimistic, as they usually are these days due to the AI backed search engine....they know what we want. Possibility, hope, reasonable customer service. Due to my location during my sleuthing; I was directed by my hopeful companion, Google, to the jewelry store in my immediate proximity. Four minute drive...hell yeah brother...I'm in the truck and on my way. Seemingly assured of my abilities (again) that the first option, despite negative reviews, was gonna be a sure-fire no casualties mission. But lo, there was collateral damage, there was a crushing of childlike joy, obliteration of ego...folks....I'm talking casualties. I entered the scene of the crime, sunglasses on, ridiculously large ring in hand, likely sweaty due to palpable anticipation. The scene....a jeweler....the crime....murdering newfound internet given expectations revolving the reworking of fashionable metal....the victim....an idiot....me. A woman greeted me, gruffly, I explained what had to be done as I set the ring upon the countertop. Retrieving it for a closer look, she said, "I can't do it." I, visibly crushed, asked whether she knew anyone in the area that might be able to handle the scope of work. Her reply......."No one......" Seeing that I would receive no assistance here (damn you Google), a quick-step heel turn maneuver was successfully accomplished, and I retreated out the door after a brisk, "Then I suppose we are done here." She mumbled something about her tool being too small and not being able to cut through the thick band, but I was already gone. Sunglasses still on face....pretty cool.... Returning back to my sanctuary I was reeling from this massive blow to my world. I took the initiative once again; of petitioning the big G for an answer. It gave me one, and like from the heavens, I heard the trumpets call.......and they tooted out in capital font.....GOLD RUSH JEWELERS.... Not wanting to potentially waste valuable fossil fuels I employ to power my steel steed, dubbed The Vessel. I elected to type an electronic letter to this magnificent empire that ruled the north bay with a golden fist. It was not a grand communication, and I had no envoy to send but the current of the interwebs to word of this quest. Almost immediately, a mysterious figure who identified himself as Rick, answered from the nether. He told me that this could indeed be possible, but that I must send him photos of it in order that he gather a more complete understanding of just how thick this silver band was. Once his eyes set upon them, he advised me that one of his stalwart metal magicians nearby must be consulted posthaste. Unfortunately, the hour was late, and the shadows had gone, replacing the world with darkness as opposed to light. Their Rohnert Park location was closed....it was 9 o'clock....completely reasonable. I showed up, precisely at the time that Sir Rick passed to me, in order to encounter his wizard before the mobs showed up to plead that his miracles be worked on their own accessories. A very kind woman named Kat assisted me, and upon having me try on several ring measurements, we found one that suited my fit best. She did warn me that it may be difficult and may not come out perfect. Then she floated into the back with my ring, after a brief conversation with an unknown voice, the Conjurer Steven emerged. The conversation was fruitful, Steven said he would attempt it and do his best. He said that there was a possibility the transformation would destroy the ring. I said it was no use to me in its present shape, and that I would sign whatever needed to release liability over them. They let me know that it could take close to a week before it was attempted, but that it could end up being tended to quicker. The undertaking was still plausible, and with happy faces, we all went about our day. I saddled up the truck again and gallivanted off to work. Difficult first few hours of the shift, but then my cellular telephone device shattered my concentration. An unknown number was calling, I let it go to voicemail, I like to screen my calls. Spam....but wait Steven left me a voicemail. The job was done and I was free to retrieve the ring at any time. The work day ended and I sped off into the north, not using the freeway due to the peasantry clogging vital arteries. I'm a backroads kind of dude, never see me coming. Too many words to post. Great experience though from all staff, Kat and Steven are amazing.

He was no longer working and unfortunately replaced by someone who I believe is the owner of the shop. She is rude mean, overpriced, and not good at what she does many of the pieces I've taken to her end up needing repair again and again. The last time I went on my way out the bracelet I had just repaired the clasp broke before I got to my car when I let her know she said she would not fix it unless I paid again. I would not recommend this shop. If you are looking for expertise, efficiency, and basic customer service. This is definitely not the place for you.

I wanted to find a band to compliment my engagement ring, and mind you, I'm very picky, I know what I want. We spent a few sessions looking for what I wanted, they sent some stuff over from another store and also brainstormed with their other employees. At the end, they weren't able to find something I wanted, which was fine, but I appreciated all their research in it. Terry and her team are amazing. I ended up resizing my ring here. It was very affordable and they were able to do it in a few hours.

I live in Glen Ellen now, and took my wedding bands to a local Sonoma shop to get welded to my engagement ring and I was thoroughly disappointed with the whole process. Their customer service was terrible from the moment we dropped the ring off to the product of the ring. I was so disappointed I realized I should've never gone to another jewelry shop. The ring was bent and didn't even look like one piece. I ended up taking it to Hollingsworth to see what they thought/could do about it and they said they would fix it for me. When they called to tell me it was ready they told me they had to take the old welds off and completely redo it. The ring looks AMAZING. Like it was never bent and it looks like it is all one piece. They didn't even charge me more for the time and effort they put into redoing it. I cannot believe the difference in the quality. They are truly the best. I will post a before and after of the job they did. I am so happy I will never go anywhere else!! Even if that means driving out of town for my jewelry. I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

I had my wedding ring designed over 3 visits with Dan Trudeau following recommendations from…read morefriends and family and I still cannot believe how smooth everything went! I was not sure what I was getting myself into or what I even wanted, but knew it would be non traditional and unique. He spent time looking at my inspiration pics and "pulled me out of the ether," regarding what was and was not feasible. Was able to use a diamond from each of my grandmothers' wedding rings. He was transparent about the cost throughout, provided education on different jewels with thoughtfulness around important specifics I would not know to ask about; ease of cleaning, shades of gold, size of my hand, finger webbing, how settings and light will impact my choices, factors that influence longevity and maintenance. He was mindful to not insert his opinion outside of the structural capacity of my ideas, despite my requests. He searched and found different stones for me to see in person, much faster than I imagined was possible. At The final appt before the ring was built, he created wax version of the ring. I was initially concerned due to size/bulkiness, though he walked me through the details of how it would look differently upon completion which put me at ease. The ring was created with subtle details that he learned through our appointments about me; he specifically balanced diamonds on the band to support straight alignment in relation to my specific finger webbing (with only measuring my ring size and eyeballing my hand), "you can go rock climbing in this thing." Overall, this was a special experience I shared with my mother and finance in my home town. I will return for cleanings and highly recommend this place. My mother also had multiple items resized and repaired with prompt and beautiful results. The entire staff was kind and personable. They engaged intermittently along the way with their past personal and professional experience with different stones, designs, jewelers... After our first visit, I was just not sure if I was on the right track in part due to my severe indecisiveness, but all visits after that confirmed this was the right place to be and I am in love with the result. My fiancé was also pleased and appreciated the level of involvement that was asked of him, lol.

I recently sold several gold items here, including a 14k hunter case pocket watch…read more During the evaluation, the items were taken out of view and I was not shown individual weights or a clear breakdown of how the value was determined. The watch, which had multiple gold components including an inner cover, was discussed but ultimately folded into the overall estimate without being separately accounted for. The explanation given for its lower value focused on a "broken crystal," which does not materially affect the scrap value of a gold case, where weight and karat are the primary factors. I was paid approximately $400 for the watch. Without seeing weights or a transparent calculation, I've since found it difficult to reconcile that figure with what a multi-component 14k gold case would reasonably represent. I would strongly recommend that anyone selling gold ask to see weights and a clear breakdown before agreeing to a final price.
