Erica Om Jewelry - Santa Barbara (CA)

Alejandro Alcantar Excellent place when youre looking for jewelry and dont want to pay outrageous retail prices. Only downside is that it can be overwhelming with all the vendors and especially if you dont know exactly what youre looking for.

Diana Polhac Jim is such a wonderful seller. I have never had such a pleasant experience selling jewelry before. He is very patient and explained the entire process thoroughly. He was also transparent about prices and whether certain pieces would sell or not. We really enjoyed doing business with him and will continue to do so in the future.

Sondra Riehart My fiancé and I officially have a jeweler! Fay was fantastic and helped me design my fully custom, dream engagement ring! And the cherry on top was the price - nearly $1,500 cheaper compared to a similar style ring at a different fine jeweler. I highly recommend Fay and David & Sons for their customer service, fair pricing and beautiful selection of fine jewelry! Can’t wait to design our wedding band next!!

Martin If youre into antiques, the Pasadena Antique Mall is a must-visit. The store is filled with all kinds of vintage treasures, from furniture to collectibles. I spent hours just browsing, and I ended up with a gorgeous old typewriter that was reasonably priced. The staff is friendly, and they offer free parking in the back. It’s a great place to find unique items for your home or gifts for someone special

Joe Atterbury Purchased a set of rings from Larson around 2 years ago. Had to get one resized recently. The process went extremely well. No surprises charges or hidden fees. They exchanged the ring with the new sized one as promised. Returned to me quickly and packaged well. Would definitely recommend.

Ruth Ann Barrett Must visit this shop in Santa Cruz. Sarah is top notch jewelry designer as well as a collector of objets dart which are not necessarily very pricey but you value for their beauty and craftsmanship. In addition to earrings I bought some wonderful Japanese incense, a small Asian inspired round wooden box with cover for my smaller earrings I wear frequently, and a long necklace to dress up some plain T’s I wear in the summer. I spent a good bit of time in the shop and enjoyed the conversation with Sarah as she re-strung one of her necklaces I inadvertently broke and which was a gift from a friend. Here are some pics of my “finds.” It took an hour to drive from the East Bay to enjoy the day at the beach to include, of course, a visit at the Salt Jewelry studio and then lunch!

Steven Baez Engagement Guys SD has such great variety of jewelry, Steve the owner helped me pick out a beautiful diamond ring for my girlfriend and also hooked me up with a great price! The store also had a nice selection of Rolex watches as well! If you are in the Gaslamp area in San Diego I HIGHLY recommend going to Engagement Guys! I will be going back for sure!
