The absolute wackiest experience with this jeweler. There was a woman who befriended me, she seem…read moreto be very impressed with all my fancy connections and political connections and very highbrow life. She loved that I wore Hermes Lilly Pulitzer. Seemed very impressed, and needed some fast cash, she even asked could she clean my home for me. She described her husband as wealthy, but didn't quite know what he did, she didn't "need to know". She seem to be in possession of a lot of designer clothing and wanted to sell it to me, I don't need designer clothing I have a lot of designer clothing. So after cleaning my home washing my dishes, I noticed she was also very nervous, almost shaking, she said she had anxiety, OK that made sense. She said she needed to go to your jewelry store, she said she had an appointment with your jewelry store, but wanted to know if we could stop at the post office first. She showed me a Rolex watch and a wedding ring that she needed to pawn basically because of her cash flow issue. My question was "where was her husband?" She didn't answer. She also didn't have money to send a box at the post office to ask you to pay. Again I noticed how nervous this woman was, a new friend, didn't want to judge her, not assume she was using drugs. Then she told me the truth, her husband had left her, that's why she needed to sell the ring, and a very expensive Rolex watch. The problem was she said, the serial number had been filed off, I told her I didn't think you would take the watch. However, she spoke Polish I believe and somebody in your store did as well. However when we got in the store, there was somebody in the store who began shaking as well, they were very nervous as they wrote out a big check. The whole thing was so peculiar. I thought to myself "what is going on here?" I don't believe for a minute you and your business had any idea about the origins of the watch, how it was obtained, or even noticed the serial number was filed off. It was a quick transaction, you trusted her because she pulled the biggest con of all: , affinity. You were comfortable with her. When we got outside I asked her "why were you so nervous, what was that about?" Kid you not, whether she was telling the truth or not I'll never know, she told me what her husband actually did for a living, and it was pretty scary. How the Rolex was obtained was even scarier. I told her to never contact me again. You have a nice jewelry store. Giving me that kind of nonsense. And I definitely don't need anybody using me and my social capital as an accomplice to whatever shady deal she was pulling. I hope she didn't hurt you. " Bad associations spoil useful habits,"

I've gone to this jeweler in the past to get my jewelry fixed. I recently went there with a silver…read morebracelet with a script inside that needed a simple revision (bought at auction) to give as a gift and a small diamond band that needed re-sizing. What a waste of time. They called me back a few days later with an outrageous estimate for the bracelet and told me they needed to send my ring to some corporate fixer because the size of my finger is so small that diamonds might pop. OK, I understand why sizing might affect how diamonds are affixed to the gold, but I want "local" I can trust and don't want my jewelry sent elsewhere. I believe they only want shoppers to buy the beautiful jewelry they have on display. I'm looking for an 18k gold chain and always looking at rings for my husband to buy me; however, I also have valuable jewelry from my mother, who was European and bought in Spain and Italy. I want a real jeweler I can trust to buy from, make jewelry from the single earrings I have (having lost one of the pair), old gold that I don't wear, and fix jewelry I've inherited, has been gifted to me, or bought. They just need to say they don't fix jewelry, only sell. Looking for a real jeweler.

The pricing felt very reasonable, especially for the quality, and the level of service truly made the experience memorable.

They are also the nicest people in the world. They know everybody in the Jewelry business so if they don't have it in stock they can get it for you. Alex is a World Class Bench Jeweler. He has been designing and repairing all types of jewelry for his entire life. Peter is Certified Jeweler with many credits to his name. Together, they make the most incredible "Team Brothers" in the most amazing town in the US. I can't think of a better and more memorable place to purchase a quality piece with memories that will last forever. Especially, if your in need of a Wedding Ring, why would you NOT go to Carmel and meet with Peter and Alex? You will get the best overall experience and a fair price with a lifetime of cleaning and service on your Wedding Ring. Plus, you get to tell everyone you got your ring in Carmel. How Romantic :-)

I think these guys ripped me off, selling me an Ethiopian opal ring that I later learned was…read moreextremely sensitive to water/oils and is essentially worthless aside from the gold it's set in for a cool $3000. I made the mistake of not knowing anything about opals before buying my ring on a whim during a wedding anniversary trip. I made several attempts to contact the business for a copy of the GIA report that I can't seem to find (perhaps they never gave it to me, perhaps I misplaced it). GIA reports don't list origin of the gem so I'm not sure it would be very helpful anyway. The first time I called and asked for a copy of the report, told me they'd get it to me in two weeks, but never called me back. I then tried to contact them via their website contact form and they never replied. Since then when I call, no one picks up. I would like to give these guys a chance to make things right and at least provide me with the information they promised me. They have my phone number. Maybe they will see this and reach out? I don't hate my ring, I just hate that they initially fleeced me and are now avoiding me. Yes, it's a jewelry store in an overpriced tourist town but still I expect transparency regarding my purchase. Buyer beware.

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.
