    Unofficial parking notice
    Stephen G.

    Beware. This owner thinks they own the shipping center and they it's their right to decide which stores can park in which spaces, even if it's nowhere near this shop. Apparently others have been towed, apparently I was "lucky".

    Engagement ring custom made by Steve Ware.

    We worked with Steve Ware to build a custom engagement ring and it turned out beautifully! All of his recommendations turned out to be 100% spot-on and I love my ring so much. Steve is an absolute master of his craft and wonderful to work with. I recommend him to anyone.

    Amazing job, excellent service, and affordable prices. I am so satisfied with the work performed by…read morePaul. He was communicative, thorough, and efficient. I had a very valuable pearl necklace from my grandmother that was gifted to my mom, and the pearl strand broke. Paul examined the necklace and quickly assessed that it will need to be restrung and that the clasp is not damaged. After his assessment and me communicating how important it was to get it done the same-day due to another jeweler failing to compete the repair after two months of waiting, he shared that he can do it for us the same day and even waived the same-day fee due to the urgency of our request and the negative experience we had previously. I think his wife was at the cashier and she typed us a receipt. She was super sweet. I also liked that the front door is locked and you have to ring the doorbell to be buzzed in - made me feel safe to be inside. We left the jewelry shop and within an hour, Paul called to tell us it was ready. The pearl necklace looked brand new. Paul did an excellent job! We picked up the necklace, paid for it, and surprised our mom. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and professional work!

She made both of us feel so comfortable and really wanted to know what we liked. I was pretty anxious going into it but she made the experience so easy. She asked so many questions about what I'm looking for and what's most important to me. She also was genuinely interested in our relationship and who we are. I left toward the last 15 minutes of the appointment so Lyss could talk to my boyfriend about pricing and logistics and he said she was not pushy at all to sell. We were offered waters and chocolates, and each consultant in there was incredibly kind and welcoming. It was truly a great environment. All in all this was an amazing experience and we truly owe it to Lyss. Thank you so much!

My girlfriend knew I would be proposing on her birthday, and Brilliant Earth said the ring would be ready in time. It wasn't. The order status page still showed "arriving" on the promised date, but the San Francisco store did not actually have the ring. The delay was frustrating, but the lack of communication was worse. I received no proactive update. I spent hours emailing, waiting more than 24 hours for replies, calling customer service, sitting on hold, and speaking with someone in a call center who had to message the SF store just to find out whether my ring was there. There was no way to call the store directly about my own pickup order. I was also told one thing over the phone and something different when I came in person and spoke with the manager. For such an important, time-sensitive purchase, the process felt disorganized and unreliable. The staff were generally polite, but the system was a mess. I chose Brilliant Earth over less expensive online jewelers because I expected better service. Instead, the experience added stress and disappointment to what should have been a joyful moment. Combined with some sales pressure during the shopping process, the whole experience felt more stressful than premium. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Brilliant Earth

Most recently I asked if Catherine, the owner/designer/fabricator, if she could make me a ring using a gemstone my wife and I purchased on our honeymoon in India some 30 years ago. She dropped what she as doing and spent time sketching out some ideas for how to mount the ring in silver. We settled on a dessign (I wanted a more masculine forefinger ring) and within a week she had a full sized wax model that I could try on and suggest any modifcations ... the model looked great as is! A few days later the ring was finished. It looked awesome and was exactly what I hoped for! I can't say enough about CG Designs.! Catherine is truly a talented artisan/craftsperson and I highly recommend for any jewlery needs but especially design and fabrication!

My mom passed away a month ago and I wanted to surprise my dad with a cross made out of moms gold wedding band and a bracelet. although the piece was imperfectly nice, 1/3 of gold was missing. I know because the jeweler weighed the original gold before and I weighed it when I got the final product gone. she charged me more for the piece than agreed and than was rude after I shared my experience with she.. she took ZERO responsibility for her lack of communication and took advantage of a first time customer who has NEVER made custom jewelry before.. she told me all her clients I'm the past know that 2 grams of gold will just be lost in the process.. would not use again and won't be recommending.
