Mark Areias Jewelers - Aptos (CA)

Judy Jacques My daughter had given my mom and I matching “peas in a pod” bracelets for Mother’s Day, but they were too long. We tried a jeweler on Mooney to see if they could shorten them, but they didn’t seem interested. We went downtown to Raphael’s, and one week later we had 3 bracelets that fit us perfectly. They were so kind and accommodating. This is the only jewelry store I will shop in from now on. Everyone has beautiful jewelry, but this level of customer service is hard to find.

Mel at tripmogul Loved getting my upgrade ring here…twice! Everyone was so helpful helping me pick the perfect set.

Ashley Maldonado Although I didn’t buy anything the girl who helped me out, I believe her name was Marley, really made me feel comfortable while shopping and helped me a bunch!

Basia Jones My sister and I had such an amazing experience getting our waist beads! Trina was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, making the entire process comfortable and enjoyable. Her studio was warm, inviting, and beautifully set up, a true reflection of her craft and care for her customers. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly and helped us choose beads that felt meaningful and perfect for us. We left feeling confident and empowered. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend her to anyone considering waist beads. You wont regret it!

Alina Rapp absolutely love Mashka Jewelry! Every piece in the store feels like it has a story — elegant, unique, and beautifully crafted. You can tell the materials are high-quality, and the designs strike a perfect balance between modern and timeless. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the earrings I bought here, and they’ve become my go-to when I want to feel a little extra put together. The staff is also incredibly kind and knowledgeable. They truly care about helping you find something that fits your style and makes you feel special. The whole vibe of the shop is cozy and inspiring — it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again. A hidden gem in the heart of SF!

Jackie Moore My fiancé and I recently got our wedding bands at Daniel’s Jewelers, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment we walked in, we were met with an incredible selection of beautiful rings and a level of service that went above and beyond our expectations. The staff was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and genuinely excited to help us find the perfect rings to celebrate our upcoming marriage. Joy assisted me personally from start to finish—she was patient, knowledgeable, and so thoughtful throughout the whole process. Mina and Adrian also helped us during our visits, and they were both equally kind, professional, and attentive. Not only was the service incredible, but the deals were amazing too — we truly felt like we were getting the best value without compromising on quality. To top it all off, Joy surprised me with a lovely pair of free earrings and a bracelet as a gift with our purchase, which made the experience feel even more special and memorable. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful place to get our wedding bands, and I would highly recommend Daniel’s Jewelers to anyone looking for both stunning jewelry and truly kind, caring service.

Nini Abdrabo It was my first time going to Tekin Brothers. I had a really bent wedding ring with dents on the sides and I hadnt been able to wear my wedding ring in over a year. I finally had the means to get it fixed and went here. When I went in, they said they could cut off my band and make a new one for $350. I honestly expected the price to be way more than that. I went on Monday(04/07) and they called me today(04/09). When I went to go pick up the ring, it looked like a BRAND NEW RING. They were so kind and sweet. The prices are fair and their honest. They do great work. If I ever need anything done with my jewelry, I will be going here and you should too!

Vanessa Vilchez My friend took me there to repair her antique watch and the gentleman was professional, quick and with good humor. I came back, again and again and I always have a pleasant experience. I recommend this place because they are competitive and honest.

XX D My husband and I were so lucky to stumble upon Van’s jewelry shop. From start to finish, working with Van was an incredible experience. His expertise and refined taste are outstanding, and he truly pours his passion and love into each piece and takes great pride in his work. Throughout the entire process, Van makes you feel completely safe and cared for. If you know exactly what you want, he will do everything he can to bring your vision to life. If youre unsure, he is patient, thoughtful, and educational, guiding you toward the most beautiful and affordable options without ever making you feel pressured. Van is not only highly skilled but also genuinely charming, and it’s clear that he truly cares about making sure you are happy — not just making a sale. His prices are very fair, especially considering the exceptional quality and craftsmanship he provides. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the final piece. We highly recommend Van to anyone looking for a jeweler they can trust!

K Lincoln My (now) husband worked with the Grebitus team to have my engagement ring made and we bought our wedding bands here as well. The team is extremely knowledgeable and their commitment to quality is unmatched. Plus they are all genuinely nice!
