“We had a great experience designing my engagement ring with Nazo! It came out truly beautiful and everyone who sees it loves it! Nazo is very kind and knows how to bring your vision to life. We went to some other places and they were charging twice the cost!“
“Fabulous experience silversmithing. Amy guided me as a first timer. She was patient as I got stuck on step one, choosing what I wanted to make. So come early before your studio time, though I do think the time is a little short if there are others. After finally choosing stones and materials, I learned how to solder, melt silver scraps and created a stamped metal disc that I am proud of. Being from a creative industry, I appreciate the hand crafted touches that are sprinkled throughout the space. It demonstrates the love, effort and creativity put in to the business. The store is brightly lit and set up as an artisan studio. The simple fixtures and equipment are just right for the craftwork. They had subtle personalization on the simple furniture such as branding on the basic work surfaces and bamboo plates and decorations. I also like that this is a woman owned business!“
“What a great experience! Mark is true professional. He appraised 3 family heirlooms for my husband and me. The process was fascinating and far more detailed than I had imagined. Mark gave us images, documents, details, and all we could need for insurance purposes. We intend to return with more pieces, including some old family watches. Mark is a pleasure to work with with, astute, and knowledgeable. We also loved his adorable dog, Shackleton. Looking forward to returning and will recommend Mark to family and friends.“
“Wonderful people, David and Tabi are always welcoming and happy to help show you any pieces and are super patient if you can’t decide which lovely piece you want! They have a gorgeous smaller selection of amazing quality jewelry, diamond, and gemstone pieces. We’ve bought numerous times from them (earrings, chains, rings) and we always receive a good fair price. They have silver jewelry too. They have a loyal customer for life! We drive from San Jose just to visit and see their pieces!“
“My friend recommended to see Sarah since I was looking for a pair of diamond earrings. She came for a show in Pasadena and Tony along with Sarah helped me and my 2 friends. We all ended up buying and super happy with our purchases. I bought a pave diamond ring for my mom and a pair of hoop diamond earrings for myself. The quality of her products are at least VS and G and up. They were super patient and helpful and the prices were very fair. I highly recommend this place.“
“A true gem and legacy business in the North Beach area. Three generations of jewelers have set up shop here. Daniel, the second generation, holds classes and produces beautiful pieces. You can take a workshop and build your own custom made wedding ring or learn how to hammer out a copper bowl. Swing by on First Fridays to check out the studio and learn interesting things about the neighborhood. The value and quality of the pieces are stunning!“
