I came here in the hopes of them being able to fix the earpiece on my glasses. In the past,…read moreLensCrafters has been able to do this in five minutes for no additional cost, but they did not have a pin so they recommended that I go here. While they were able to fix it the cost I was quoted was $65. That is significantly higher than what I was expecting however when you're in a pinch and you need your glasses you have to do it! I was also quoted a max of one hour needed for the service so I grabbed some lunch. After an hour and a half I still haven't received a text saying that I was ready for pick up so I went in and it was pretty obvious that it hadn't been started yet because after that, it was done in about five minutes. I completely understand if busy that things might take longer, but realistic timeframe should be given, especially when you call it fast fix, and I'm pretty sure it would've been even longer because they only started working after I went in.

I went in to have a bracelet adjusted, and during the process, they ended up damaging my bracelet. I was initially told it would take about one hour, but it turned into a 6 hour ordeal with a lot of waiting and back and forth communication. In the end, I was charged $75 for the adjustment, and the bracelet was left in worse condition than before. The repair was poorly done, and I now have to take it to another jeweler to fix the damage they caused. For the amount of time, money, and frustration involved, this experience was not acceptable. I would strongly recommend being cautious before trusting this location with your jewelry.

However, the quality of service here is different. They're multigenerational watch masters with craftsmanship not many can replicate. It' saddens me to say this but this level of craftsmanship, artistry & attention to detail is difficult to find. For $150 his watch was given an extended life (they even polished it.) So, yeah you can take your watch somewhere else for probably $40-$50, but in the end it costed more by having to re-service the watch barely a year later plus time & energy spent looking for another place to fix it.

He visited several jewelers across OC, from large retailers to family owned stores and even some that were recommended by other friends/family but none compared to the genuine care and honest customer service he received from Kathy and Jenny here! I came with my fiancé on his first visit here to get sized and choose some shapes that I preferred. Kathy patiently walked us through sizing and explored different shapes with zero pressure and so much patience. We loved how relatable she was and how natural and genuine our convos went! When he returned on his own, Jenny took her time to educate him fully and showcased her expertise (being in the business for 30+ years) and made sure he truly understood every detail, not just the 4 C's, but things other stores never even mentioned so he could feel confident making such an important decision. They actually encouraged him to even take his time and check out other places to make sure he was confident in his decision. This kind of customer care made all the difference! I didn't see the ring until the proposal, and it was absolutely perfect! But what makes it even more meaningful is knowing how much thought, care, and intention went into choosing it and how much of that came from the guidance he received there. I really can't thank both Jenny and Kathy enough for making his experience so smooth and seamless! If you're starting your ring journey and feel overwhelmed, go to South Coast Jewelers. They don't just sell you a ring, they make you feel confident, excited, and taken care of which makes this kind of experience so much more priceless.

The truth is, when I knew that i had found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, I didn't have to worry about where I was going to buy the engagement ring. I went to one place to find my perfect ring and that place was with Tim Harold @ William Harold Jewelers. I had bought one other vintage watch from him years ago and have since developed a friendship that is mutually encouraging. Both Tim and Ben are trustworthy people who genuinely love playing a small role in your celebration. If you are looking to get engaged, buy a nice watch, or appreciate someone for whatever reason... go see my friends Tim and Ben at William Harold Jewelers. They are the best. read more

When I picked up my watch he told me that it was going to be $40 now because he had to take it to a separate place in mission Viejo. I asked for that places name and a receipt number because I noticed scratches on my watch. He would not tell me the name of the other place or give me any kind of receipt. I asked many times about it and he would not give me an answer. I wanted to know because they had scratched my watch and wanted to follow up with them.
