My fiance and I got our wedding bands and engagement ring fitted and fixed up with Lauren and Terry. They were so excited to see family heirlooms and help us get them shining again. I can tell they both love what they do and got everything done in a few days.When the engagement ring was a little too big they sized and fixed it in less than a half hour. If youre looking to support a family business, this is it, they are fabulous!
5 stars are not enough to give Lauren O Jewels. I initially came to Lauren on an appraising mission after finding her through the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers, and that conversation led to a discussion of how to repurpose some of these family heirlooms into jewelry I would actually wear. Specifically, an engagement ring and wedding bands.Lauren was SO thorough and provided me and my (now) fiancé with so much information, and we are so grateful. Im certain she spent over 5 hours with us, between phone calls, emails back and forth to understand what we were looking for, and in-person (COVID-safe) appointments. Not only did she totally understand our visions, but she was transparent about pricing and helped us find ways to work with our budget. I was lucky to have a family diamond and a number of smaller diamonds from other pieces of jewelry, and she suggested that rather than designing something from scratch (especially since what I wanted was a more simple design), to find an existing setting that would fit my stones. Genius!I also had a bracelet that Lauren transformed into our wedding bands. For mine, she took special care to make sure that it would fit well and sit flush with my engagement ring, and with my fiancés she provided lots of examples of hammered styles to help him visualize what his final product would look like.Honestly, we felt so supported and taken care of the whole time, and I am SO happy to recommend Lauren O Jewels for any of your jewelry needs. I love my ring(s) so much, and it is so meaningful that we were able to repurpose my family heirlooms to create them.
Wonderful experience with Lauren and Terry - Highly recommend for great service and attention to detail, and they are super communicative. They can resize an engagement ring while you wait. So personable - what a find!
Amazing service! Lauren and Terry went above and beyond. It’s pretty amazing to me that they don’t have more reviews. Totally a hidden gem! If you want you great care with a family touch. This is the place.
If you’re looking to repurpose a family stone or just want something custom - save yourself some time and meet with Lauren first.We were lucky to have inherited an engagement ring from a grandparent and decided to build a new ring with the diamond that fit our personalities, but weren’t sure exactly what we wanted. After doing some research we checked out another highly rated place in San Francisco where we were told in our consultation “come back when you know what you want and we’ll build it”.Lauren’s process was distinctly different in a really great way - over the course of a couple design sessions (that were surprisingly fun) a final design emerged that we were really excited about. These sessions included sketching ideas, playing around with actual gem stones, a digital 3D modal and lastly a 3D wax print of the setting.Another thing we appreciated is that she charges a flat fee for the design work so we never felt pressured to blow our budget on up-sells.
Excellent experience having antique jewelry appraised. They were very welcoming and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great experience!
Amazing jewelers, service was more than amazing. Came in to get a ring appraised, left with what looks like a brand new ring. Terry cleaned it appraised it and made my diamonds look even better than when I bought it.Definitely recommend this company to anyone. Also, their prices are very reasonable.
Terry and Lauren are not only amazingly talented jewelers but they are also incredibly warm and kind people! They are simply the best at what they do.
Got an emerald ring appraised and an aquamarine ring cleaned. very good service. Terry is knowledgable about gems and down-to-earth. it is a pleasure to learn from him.
Laura is so sweet, professional and extremely knowledgeable about jewels. Couldn’t recommend enough. Will be returning!
Lauren and Terry have been so great to work with. My fiancé got my engagement ring through Lauren O Jewels and we recently got our wedding bands done with them during COVID. They were very communicative and transparent about potential delays, but even so I was impressed with the turnaround time and of course, the quality. Especially around the work they did for my fiancés heirloom wedding band that was his grandfathers. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Lauren and Terry!
I am so lucky I found Lauren O who did an amazing job on two projects. The first was an appraisal on my grandmothers engagement ring. Lauren was easy to communicate with, easy to schedule an appointment with and reasonably priced. Not only did she do a great job with the appraisal, she also took a quick look at a couple other pieces I brought in giving me advice on whether to appraise or not.Lauren was so great, I decided to go with her to refurbish my dads onyx ring. She came up with some great ideas to make the ring not only look new, but look better than the original. She added a gold bevel around the stone for a cleaner look, polished the existing stone so I wouldnt need to replace it with a new custom cut stone and cleaned up the very faded designs. She did all of this with a very fair price. I highly recommend Lauren, she is fabulous to work with.
I wanted a very untraditional and unfussy wedding ring and couldnt find anything I liked. Then my grandmother-in-law gifted me a few items from her collection that needed new settings or repairs. I took the lot to Lauren and instead of repairing, we designed the ring I was dreaming of! The process was easy and fun. And my ring, is one of a kind, totally affordable (granted, I owned the stones) and it was handcarved. It means so much to me and the process which seemed at first intimidating, was fun and easy thanks to Laurens knowledge, resources, and warm manner. I cant recommend her highly enough. Thanks Lauren O!
I purchased my wifes engagement ring from Lauren and it was the best experience. She was personal and professional. She went out of her way to make it a smooth, seamless process as I made a extra special purchase.
Best experience without a doubt in all San Francisco.
