    Bringelson Jewelers - The bracelet the jewelers claim is worth $140 compared to one we purchased for $14 at another shop.

    My husband decided to surprise our newborn with a "custom" bracelet that contains an azabache stone…read moreand an evil eye bead. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be a part of the consulting process, which happened over the phone, but he was quoted $140 for what we assumed was going to be a bracelet with material and labor to justify the final cost. To our surprise, we were presented with a red string bracelet that looked awfully similar to bracelets we saw online for no more than $14, and one my newborn already has from a credible crystal shop. We asked what materials in the bracelet constituted the $140 price tag and their defense was to immediately discredit the other shop by saying the azabache stone could be fake. If that is the case and their so-called authentic stone is worth $20, does that mean the red string and evil eye bead is worth $120? Keep in mind this bracelet is for a newborn, so there's only 4-5" of material used. I understand Martha and co have a business to run, but they really took advantage of us even after we were trying to be reasonable and voice our concerns directly to them at the time of pick-up. Martha did not seem remorseful and avoided to present any solutions to us. Pictures posted--It honestly looks like they took an Amazon.com bracelet, unassembled the string to add a stone or two, and attempted to re-assemble by burning the ends in an uneven matter (which looks questionable and dangerous for a newborn to wear). It's complete shoddy work from a business that's been surviving this long. Perhaps they provide better results on other services, but they had the opportunity to gain the trust and business from our family and failed.

    Excellent little jewelry shop located downtown, on 6th street in San Pedro. The lady who works…read morethere, Marta, is extremely friendly and very down to earth. I've only had my jewelry cleaned here but they did an excellent job and I would not hesitate to return for a repair or other jewelry purchases. Highly recommended!!!

    I came to Modern Jewelers because of their great rating on Yelp. Absolutely no disappointment! I've…read moreposted before and after pictures of the ring I had repaired. The 15-year-old ring was showing a lot of wear and tear, with three missing stones. After inspecting the ring, Sam the owner was confident he could restore it to its original condition and offered a very reasonable estimate. The ring was ready in 6 days. When I came in to pick it up, Sam had an almost excited look on his face as he prepared me for the big reveal. You could tell how proud he was with the final product. As he took the ring out of the bag, my face lit up - I could not believe how beautiful it was. It genuinely looked every bit as good as the day I had bought it. The missing stones were replaced, all the settings were inspected and reinforced, and the gold and diamonds were cleaned and polished. I give my strongest endorsement to Modern Jewelers. Small business, family owned, and a real credit to the community they serve.

    I brought my wedding band in for a repair after one diamond fell out (which I was fortunate enough…read moreto find). I was quoted a little over $200 for the diamond replacement and a very minor resize of ¼ size down. When I went to pick up the ring, I was informed--after the work was already completed--that additional prongs had been replaced on both sides of the ring and that I now owed an extra $240. I was never contacted, informed, or asked for approval before this additional work was done. The explanation given was that some of the prong work was necessary due to resizing. However, after waiting over 40 minutes at pickup because the ring was "in billing," I was then told the resize had actually been forgotten entirely and had to be done on the spot. This made the justification for the unapproved prong work even more concerning. After calling twice and initially being brushed off by sales associates, I finally spoke with the owner, who acknowledged that I had not consented to the extra work and agreed to waive the additional charge. While I appreciate the owner ultimately correcting the billing, the situation itself should never have occurred. Jewelry--especially a wedding band--is deeply personal. Any additional work, design changes, or charges should never be performed without explicit customer approval. Between the unapproved services, forgotten resize, and billing delay, the experience felt disorganized and stressful. I would urge future customers to proceed with caution, insist on written estimates, and require approval before any additional work is done.

    Claydon Jewelers is a trusted, local, family-run jewelry business that we've relied on for years…read more We've visited many times over the nearly six years I've lived in the area for a variety of needs, and we've always been satisfied with both the service and the quality. Recently, we've worked with Ruben, who is the sweetest guy. He is always incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to make sure you're happy. From serving my needs to my wife's and even our two oldest children, Claydon Jewelers has truly become our jeweler of choice in the South Bay. Highly recommended! 5 stars
