Daniels Jewelers - Bakersfield (CA)

Caezar Ancayan I stopped by this shop recently looking for vintage watches, and had a great experience. James—if I caught his name correctly—was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Even though I arrived close to closing time, he took the time to answer all my questions and didn’t make me feel rushed. The shop carries a wide variety of unique items beyond jewelry—everything from records and musical instruments to vintage spoons, lamps, and framed pictures. It’s definitely a place worth browsing if you enjoy discovering eclectic finds. James mentioned that all of the watches are mechanically checked before being displayed, which was reassuring. Some models needed new batteries, but many of the mechanical ones wound up beautifully. I didn’t get to spend as much time browsing as I’d like, but I’ll definitely be back for a longer visit. A great little spot for vintage lovers and collectors alike!

F M Very pleasant experience! Theyre the best place in the Excelsior to get your watch batteries changed. Great pricing too!

Jennifer Swaney My husband and I have been customers of Kenny G for the past 16 years. He took me to Kenny G to see what kind of ring I liked, and proposed shortly thereafter. When he took me there, I didn’t pick a ring or setting just for the sake of it, I liked a solitaire with the Tiffany setting and chose the smallest white gold band to match. I wasn’t in a hurry to pick a wedding set and as a matter of fact, it took me three years to find the set that caught my eye. I chose simple bands with a row of diamonds and that year for Christmas, my husband gave me the engagement band and wedding band as my Christmas present, and for our fifth year wedding anniversary he gave me a matching band to complete the set. We are approaching our 16th wedding anniversary, and my wedding set was recently redesigned. Instead of trading the center stone in or changing the wedding band, we kept the original bands and center stone. They’re sentimental, and I wanted to keep them. Michael Gordon at Kenny G was more than patient with me. Again, I wasn’t in a rush to make a decision and I took my time looking at options before deciding what I really liked. Kenny G did an outstanding job redesigning my ring and sent me photos of what it would look like before they started. Now the center stone has a new mount and a halo, and I couldn’t be happier! If you’re looking for an experience where you can take your time and not feel rushed, give Kenny G & Co., a chance. We’ve been loyal customers for 16 years and we couldn’t be happier.

Christina Roca Galati Jewelers was very quick in fixing my sterling silver necklace chain. It was done in less than 15 minutes when I walked into the store for $45 (very reasonable price for the speediness and quality of work). Ed and Natalie were both very kind and attentive. It’s the only place I found nearby that does silver repairs! Thank you so much for the great repair and friendliness. New customer gained!

Zoë Lehmann-Rose My husband and I had a fantastic experience here. We were gifted a family stone that we wanted to get reset into an entirely new design for my engagement ring. In just a few emails back and forth - sharing ideas, discussing what was possible, and providing feedback on early renderings - the team at Mark Broumand created my dream engagement ring. And when it came time to choose a wedding band, it was easy to find a piece from them to match. I enjoy my wedding rings everyday, and am deeply grateful to have had such a positive experience with the jeweler to look back on.

Artour Babayans This is the best place for gifts for almost any occasion. They have a vast variety of jewelry for any budget. The icing on the cake is their packaging and presentation not to mention their excellent customer service.

Barry Danieli Great choice for watch repair. Just had a custom piece made for my wife for our 30th anniversary. Reasonably priced and wouldnt trust tis type of work anywhere else. Thanks for the excellent, personal service!

Rand Stephens My wife and I bought our wedding rings here. We were referred by my longtime friend, Tony, who spent much of his life in the jewelry business. Roberto was a premier jewelry wholesaler who sold to the local jewelry stores. Sadly, Roberto is no longer with us, but his wife Pat still runs the store with some beautiful Italian jewelry that my wife chose and the modern titanium band I was looking for. Pat is the sweetest jewelry store owner you will ever know. She gives you all the time you need and doesnt push anything on you. She has great knowledge on cleaning and care of your jewelry and was very accommodating in getting the ring sized and has lots of tools she can use for hard to fit fingers and to keep the ring straight on your fingers.

David N J.C knows his stuff. Very impressive work and completed my custom work in timely manner.
