My fiancé and I purchased my engagement ring and both of our wedding bands here and it's been a wonderful experience each time. The store has an excellent selection of new & vintage pieces, and the staff are welcoming and always remembered us on repeat visits. Heather has a great eye and figured out my taste quickly, making it easy to find a vintage engagement ring setting I loved - then worked with us to customize the stones, remaining patient throughout a lot of back and forth. A year later, we found a vintage wedding band that matched it perfectly. As an added bonus, both pieces happened to be discounted during their annual summer sale (which I highly recommend checking out). She also found the perfect wedding band for my husband-to-be. No matter what your budget is, you will be treated well and find something fantastic here. I absolutely recommend supporting this local business. read more

A friend of mine recommended this jeweler to me and I'm so happy I went. I visited with my grandma as we both had a piece that needed repairs, and a couple pieces that needed to be resized. We had the pleasure of working with Ashley when we came in. She was so sweet and made our experience really special. I was also window shopping while we were there and they have some absolutely stunning pieces. I will certainly be returning in the future for repairs, resizes and also new pieces. read more

Beware. I currently went to have my wedding ring appraised, the jeweler informed me that the diamond was not a real diamond. My husband Ken, Budly and family purchased the ring here, long time Newport residents. It was disappointing to say the least. Irene C. read more

I couldn't leave a review before as I was working with them on getting an engagement ring from them afraid the now fiancée would find out. I was recommended this store by her friend and we went together. Ben was given a price range and worked with me on it. Many different options were given at my price point and was given a good price. Ben recommended an appraiser and insurance provided me a sense of ease as I was proposing in Hawaii. She loved it and the high quality sparkle keeps her eye drawn to it. This store has a high quality ring at all price points. read more

I had a great experience and was so happy with my ring. Long story short, my diamond basket fell off my engagement ring setting. I was worried it wouldn't be secure if it was welded back so to be safe I had Wm Harold & sons make an exact replica of my engagement ring setting. It was way more secure that my previous ring. I worked with Ben and every step of the way he was communicative and gave me confidence that my diamond and soon to be new engagement ring setting was in good hands. I was very happy with my new ring and it looks the exact same. I'll definitely be using them again for any jewelry needs. read more

We went here to get a watch fixed. We knew the watch was a potential knock of Rolex, but wanted to still get it fixed. They employees were honest and advised us it was not a real Rolex watch and let us know it probably just needed a battery. They also suggested a small watch repair store a few blocks away, who could take care of the battery at a very fair price. The employees were very kind and helpful. The service there was wonderful. read more

Wonderful customer service. Everyone is very friendly and willing to help in any way. Great quality work. I've purchased a few pieces of jewelry from them and have also taken a couple pieces in I currently had to get some work done. Always satisfied when leaving! read more

I have used William Harold &Sons for years. Tim and I have a long history and and some good stories too. I highly recommend them and would never use anyone else. read more

Just had the best experience with W Harold and sons, We went in to look at estate rings, not only was the perfect diamond there, it was a very reasonable price. I didn't like the setting so they offered to make me one for free! It only took a week to make and it's so perfect. Such an awesome team! Will be back for sure! read more

Wm. Harold & Sons - Beautiful 3.23 carat ring with a custom band! - Jewelry Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I spotted this ring during their annual sale in July and it was love at first sight; It was stunning -- but just a bit too big. The jeweler tried fitting it with a post to make it fit twice, but it was still just a little big. Without me asking, he offered to have it sent out to be remade just to fit my finger exactly. I just picked it up tonight, and could not be more pleased. It's more beautiful than I remember! If you have the opportunity to shop at William Harold Jewelers, do not pass it up. They have incredible one of a kind pieces and the people who work there are the best of the best. If i could give more than 5 stars, I would. I am over the moon about this ring, and will absolutely be a returning customer. read more

Brought in my wedding ring, because the prongs stuck up enough that they were kind of sharp (I scratched myself several times). They fixed the position of the prongs and cleaned my ring. I'm no longer scared to wear my ring around my baby and it sparkles so beautifully! read more

Very friendly staff. I had a diamond placed in a new setting they beat another bid and did a beautiful job. I bought some diamond earrings 50% off at one off the sales and had a small diamond replaced in an eternity ring. I'm always happy my friend told me about this Jeweler. read more

I was so impressed with the fabulous work and finished jewelry I just pick up. The staff is warm and understand exactly what you are looking for. I have had numerous pieces made here and I also trust them to polish and repair things. Thank so much much for making me feel special! read more

During my search for the perfect engagement ring I visited several different jewelers. My search began with the large establishments, i.e. Zales, De Beers, Tiffany & Co., Robbins Brothers, Ben Bridge, & Others. At each store I went to I learned something new about what "perfect" meant to me. Part of that definition involved learning about the Four C's( Cut, Carat, Clarity, & Color ) of the diamond, determining the importance of each to my soon to be fiance, and weighing them all against the fifth C (Cost). After developing an understanding of my criteria, it was time to find it. I was almost immediately put off by the commission based and high pressure sales environments of the of the larger stores. Also, I didn't want to buy something so important to me at the Mall or from a store that has an advertisement that makes me change the radio station every time it comes on. I liked the price and selection on BlueNile.com but could not bring myself to buy something of this significance without ever seeing it and knowing it was perfect. I found myself going back to my roots and looking to local small business owners to provide the answer. Yelp helped to point me in the direction of several local jewelers. After meeting with them, I found that each could provide the environment that I was looking to buy in but ultimately, Ben at William Harold Jewelers was able to display a superior understanding and excitement for what I was looking for. I worked closely with Ben over the next several weeks, viewing multiple diamonds until the perfect one came in. After choosing the diamond, Ben helped me find the perfect band to complement the perfect diamond and then created the perfect engagement ring. The price was very fair, the service was above and beyond, and the environment was pressure free. Above all else, my fiance loves the ring. I recommend William Harold Jewelers to anyone looking for a high quality engagement ring at a price that the big stores can't &/or wont match. read more

Took my wedding band in to resize. Quote over the phone was $50 - 75$ depending. Picked it up today. $45. Perfect fit. They also polished it and it looks like when my bride first placed it on my finger 25 years ago. Awesome!! read more

Wm. Harold & Sons - My renewed ring. - Jewelry Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Great selection of new and antique jewelry. However, DO NOT get your jewelry sized or repaired here. You've been warned. p.s. Be prepared to smell like a cheap Glade plug-In after going here. Whatever air "freshener" they use is thick as fog and sticks to you for hours. read more

One night my then boyfriend and I discussed getting married so naturally, the next day I grabbed one of my girlfriends and went ring shopping. I knew I wanted something unique and from somewhere local and found William Harold Jewelers on Yelp. We stopped in and after talking to Ben, he showed me a several rings and then finally a STUNNING, diamond and platinum, 1920's Art Deco ring. Lets just say, I fell in love like no ring before, I felt like it was made just for me. Months later he proposed and made me the happiest woman in the world. (Turns out my friend had called my boyfriend and he went and picked it up that month but waited to propose). When it was time to pick up our wedding bands, we naturally went back to William Harold. My now Husband got a platinum band and I got a diamond and platinum eternity band. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience..they're really attentive, helpful and don't pressure you. Thank you Ben and William Harold Jewelers! read more

When I was starting to look for an Engagement Ring, I walked by William Harold Jewelers by chance. From the outside the store looks a bit old fashion, but they have some really interesting Jewelry for a broad reach of taste. The staff and especially the family who runs this business the 1960th know a lot about jewelry and gave me great advise. I shopped around for some other offers, but came to the conclusion that the ring they offered me was the best Bing for the buck (I even checked online diamond dealers). When I came back, I had the idea to go with a bit bigger stone and Tim Harold Jr (who I can really recommend), made a few calls and the next day they assembled me my perfect ring. Since then we came back and bought our wedding rings. A few days ago, I went back to look at their watch selection. A bit over my budget, but one day I will come back to buy my favorite watch. read more

Absolutely love this jewelry place! Ben Hooker and family have continually provided excellent service and quality repairs at a beyond reasonable pricing. Ben's expertise in precious metals and gemstones will definitely keep us coming back. Highly recommend for new purchases and a continuous relationship for repairs. read more

Met Ben to help me fix my wife's wedding ring up for our 20th anniversary. He was a rockstar. They did an amazing job and made me feel confident that I made a good purchase. I definitely recommend these guys. read more

I'm not a big review girl but after my experience working w/ everyone @ William Harold I left with such an emotional/happy smile that it's important for people to know quality work & amazing customer service exists! My Father was in the Jewelry business my entire life so when important/sentimental pieces needed work or to be made I had him to lean on. I don't have that ability anymore so I blindly walked into WM Harold & had to opportunity to meet Ashley. She was such a pleasure and warm heart. I wanted an adjustment made on my wedding set. The attention to detail that their goldsmith (Michael I believe) gave me was beyond comforting. He took his time & really listened to be sure it was what I wanted. The whole team was kind and patient with me. I had the opportunity of meeting Ashley, Logan & Michael (Goldsmith) and I will definitely be back for anything else I need in the future. Plus their selection of Jelwery is beautiful! Thank you again to the whole team. read more

I went in on a busy Saturday afternoon without an appointment to ask if they could cut off my too small wedding ring for an upcoming hand surgery. They were very kind and dropped what they were doing to accommodate me with no charge for the service. I will definitely be back after the surgery and have my ring re-sized by them! read more

After reading the reviews on Yelp, my boyfriend and I came here as our first stop for engagement rings. We were warmly welcomed by Donna, who brought out rings for us in our price range and gave us some great advice. I'm not used to buying or wearing jewelry of any kind, but she gave us a lot of assurance and also helped us figure out a better idea of what exactly we were looking for. My only complaint is that there is not a huge selection. However, the jewelry in there is very unique and beautiful and the selection changes very rapidly as they are always getting in new merchandise. And the personal and excellent shopping experience more than makes up for the small selection. Donna only works on Fridays, however, everyone who has helped me (I've gone on more than one occasion...I'm still shopping!) has been very helpful, attentive to the parameters of what I want, and has offered creative suggestions. I don't know if I will find the "right" ring here, but I really hope I do because I would love to do business with this place. read more

Six stars. I happened upon William Harold Jewelers while visiting in Southern California and stopped in to get a new watch battery. Installing the battery was easy, but replacing the crystal proved problematic and required the use of a press, but the person who knew how to operate it was gone for the day. I was traveling on and couldn't come back to pick up the watch, so WHJ told me they'd finish the job and FedEx my watch to me at no extra charge. How nice! While in the store, I interacted with the staff and looked at the great estate items and new watches. I was just there for a battery but I was treated like a long-time and faithful customer ... which I'd become if I lived closer. THANKS WHJ! read more

It feels great to now have a local family jeweler and William Harold Jewelers delivers in all categories! From watch repair to diamond ring design, the quality of their services and products, is extraordinary. Gayle's beautiful design ideas to update my ring and Donna's fantastic communication and professionalism with us made the entire process one of our best experiences ever. Their kindness and clarity with all of our transactions will keep us coming back. Thank you! read more

This review is for working with Ben at William Harold. Highly recommended. The store had a beautiful selection of vintage/estate and new pieces. We were looking for a vintage/estate engagement ring that "spoke to me" and visited William Harold, as well as the following stores in the area: Rambling Rose Estate Jewelry in Orange - amazing selection, great customer service, but high prices Corona Del Mar Jewelry Consignment - they didn't have much of a selection of what I was looking for at the time, but the customer service was good. Stock always changes so I would return here NOT recommended: OC Estate & Jewelry Company - not the best selection or customer service Watch & Wares - I had a worst experience here! Will NEVER return. Of the places I went, the best was William Harold. Ben was incredibly patient and understanding with my many questions regarding the engagement ring. They provide a thorough third-party appraisal that was accepted with my insurance company (I decided on Jeweler's Mutual) and made a lot of changes to fix the ring after purchase. I did have a negative experience with one of the women that worked in the store, but Ben corrected it all in time. I think if you are a young couple, you should ask for Ben. Overall, I would definitely recommend this store to my friends and family. The customer service was outstanding, selection was extensive and I've received many compliments on my ring. read more

Amazing service! My fiancé purchased my engagement ring from them and Ben made me a beautiful band to have my diamond switched into perfected with every single detail I asked for, (even though I had changed my mind about a dozen times). He shipped us the new, beautiful band all the way in Ontario, Canada when he was finished making it. Highly recommend them to anyone! read more

All around great service! We took my fiancé's ring in to get it re-sized and had an exceptional experience. They had a very quick turn around and it came out perfect! read more

This place has exceeded my expectations so many times that I refuse to enter the big, hard-sell jewelry stores. (I'll never forget the time a "closer" came and sat with me at another store, after the initial pressure didn't work.) No closers here. I refer all my friends here. Ben and Tim must have been trained differently -- they don't pressure you and take care of you years after your first purchase. Customer for life. read more

A beautiful store run by extremely honest professional and very, very reasonable repair prices, most honest jewelry store anywhere. Thank you Ben, Donna, and Gail Elizabeth Ogas read more

I was honored by my son when he asked me to help him pick out a ring for his fiancee. We had been told by numerous friends that we should go to William Harold. In fact, the mother of one of our friends has known the owners for years. So, the week before Thanksgiving, we started our shopping experience. When we entered William Harold, I informed a lady behind the counter that we were on a mission and had been sent to them by their good friend, XXXX. They acted like they had never heard my friend's mother's name and didn't give us the time of day. After awhile, a young Asian lady (with an Hispanic surname) approached us and began one of the worst shopping experiences I have ever suffered. She proceeded to talk down to my son, discount his knowledge of diamonds, discount his thoughts regarding the design set forth by his fiancee, refuse to appraise the diamonds we were going to trade in for a small fraction of the purchase, and basically asked us to come back when we were ready. Ready? Really? We proceeded to leave the store and drove down to South Bay Jewelry in Aliso Viejo where we were treated with respect, dignity, and kindness. We ended up buying the ring that day and, much to my surprise, my son spent over $10,000 for something really special. The experience at William Harold would have me recommending that anyone avoid this place. Why anyone would want to have an awful experience like this is beyond me. We have since purchased several additional pieces from South Bay Jewelry and are very happy. I will never step into William Harold again. I hope you are able to learn from this review and change your customer service to prevent losing sales. read more

Everyone is extremely helpful, very nice, and the best part is they are not pushy at all. They might not have a huge selection of diamond rings but the pieces they carry are beautiful and unique. The prices are very fair as well. Love love love this place and Ben! read more

If you want the BEST service and the most AMAZING Estate Jewelry ever then this is the place for you! My boyfriend and I were referred here by two close friends who had just got engaged. I had been looking for a vintage ring but had no luck... until I went to William Harold! They specialize in estate and vintage jewelry in all price ranges. I tried on rings that were $400 and I tried on rings that were $4,000 and they were all so cool! The best part is the staff- it is family owned and we were fortunate to be helped by Tim Jr., the nicest guy with a great sense of humor and a big heart! After trying on a few rings I found "the ring of my dreams" but, of course, it was out of our price range. I was sooo bummed! He said his Dad had a soft spot for couples in love that he would see what he could do. He left us for a moment and came back with a MUCH lower price! I was dying the whole time because the ring was gorgeous and EXACTLY what I was looking for! A few weeks later I am ENGAGED and typing this review with my ring on and thinking what a great experience the whole thing was!! William harold took something that could have been stressful and made it fun and memorable. If you are thinking of getting married or just in the market for some awesome vintage jewelry you have to stop by and say hi to Tim Jr.! read more
