cristina collins ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional 24k Gold & Custom Jewelry Experience with TQ! Review: I had the pleasure of working with TQ at Bust Down & Company (San Jose, CA), and I can confidently say he’s the best jeweler in the Bay Area. From start to finish, my experience was outstanding: • Top-tier customer service: TQ was attentive, personable, and truly understood my vision. His dedication to helping me bring my custom design to life was unmatched. • Outstanding pricing: Despite the high quality of workmanship and materials, the prices were fair and transparent—always a pleasant surprise. • Unmatched 24k gold quality: The pieces crafted by TQ feature high-purity gold and exceptional craftsmanship. You can really see and feel the difference. • Masterful custom creations: Every detail in the custom-made jewelry was executed with precision. The final result was a stunning, timeless piece that I’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for superior quality, unbeatable service, and honest pricing, TQ at Bust Down & Company is the only jeweler you need. I couldn’t be happier with my experience—highly recommend!

Just Saying Purchased a ring 1-25-24 with the assistace of Andy. He was professional, considerate and polite, as is all the staff! Price was reasonable too. I would recommend Atascadero Jewelry and Loan to anyone looking for jewelry. They take great care in cleaning and displaying their goods. Top notch outfit all the way! Positive experience.

Michael Pedersen Before I came to Collins, I felt adrift at sea, trying to zero in on an engagement ring. Chelsea was a dream to work with! She put me on solid ground and helped me find the perfect engagement ring. So easy to work with. Incredible value! My neighbor was pleased with their business and recommended that I try Collins since its right down the street. Im so glad I did. I had a few other leads, but this was the one for me. And its family run. I love supporting businesses in my community. Would highly recommended!

jay tees Gear Garage Today was a hard day to sell a bracelet and ring that ive worn for over 15 years but Terry was very cool and we ended up talking about how great California used to be for quite a while. 5 stars easily.

Nicholas Belvis Edwin was very knowledgeable Extremely fast and easy-going. This was my first time purchasing precious metals, and the process was seamless and enjoyable. I’m looking forward to returning for all of my future precious metal purchases!

Sharon Hind-Smith I am so happy with the repair of my wedding ring of 43 years. Amy knew why it needed to be changed and the name of the shank I was hoping for. Looks absolutely amazing! Worth waiting for. Thanks Amy!

Julie Thunder Beautiful jewelry that captures your free spirit - love that Lori us always changing it up!
