KAY Jewelers - Salinas (CA)

Nick McBurney Nick is an awesome jeweler, very responsive, competitive pricing, high-quality work. I will definitely be going back to him for my jewelry needs, plus he’s got a hell of a first name. 10 out of 10 recommend this dude!

Laura H. I have been a loyal customer of Peter and Alex for over 30 years, the quality of their jewelry is outstanding and I just love doing business with them. I have acquired a beautiful collection over the years and they are the only place I would consider spending significant amounts of money on jewelry because I trust them implicitly. When my fiancé, now husband, and I became engaged in 2004 we came to Carmel to select a ring. When it was ready we arrived at the boutique to find that Alex and Peter had called my grandmother (who lived in Pebble Beach and was also a customer) and they opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate our engagement. I cannot speak highly enough about them.

Virginia Leskowski Amazing expertise and service. I brought jewelry and coins from an estate. They spent so much time on valuing the stuff and gave excellent advice for free. Then they gave $ for the stuff I wanted to sell on the spot. I got them to value stuff I didnt want to sell too, for free. What a great, easy experience. I trust them, super local business. Highly recommend.

Alyssa Wakely We absolutely love AAA Family Gems! They crafted the most gorgeous engagement ring for me as well as custom-made all of mine and my fiancé’s wedding jewelry. Donna, Tony, and Roberto are always friendly, willing to go the extra mile, and treat us as family. We can’t recommend AAA Family Gems enough!

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!

Lizbeth Graciano I have been a happy customer with the company for over 6 years now. I had a huge instant connection with the staff. Their prior employer Alice was such a sweetheart who even remembered my sons first birthday and got him a birthday present. I have purchased several items and will continue to do so as time goes by. The customer service is beyond amazing. Thank you Bernardo for your patience and James for always attending to my children and giving them a balloon everytime. You guys are truly amazing!
