Village Estate Jewelry Buyers - Carlsbad (CA)

Austin Barron Super happy with my experience here at Na Hoku, staff was extremely helpful and kind, and we were able to find exactly what we wanted. We had to order it in a size up, which took less than a month, and made it in with plenty of time before the wedding. I will recommend this jeweler to anybody who listens!

Kathy Christie I always wind up buying something at Retreat! They have wonderful cards, cool coasters and beautiful jewelry, among other great gifts. I was browsing yesterday and wound up purchasing a bunch of birthday cards that are perfect for certain people. I also enjoyed talking to the woman who was working there. She was pleasant and enthusiastic, and made me smile. A perfect shopping experience at this must-visit South Pas store!

Jaia Lin Don’t go here to repair your jewelry! They completely hacked my wedding ring during a simple re-size so that you could see the cut marks, solder, and even that it was no longer circular! I took it to another professional afterwards in tears and he said, “wow, did a blind, stoned, 19 year old do this?!?” To be fair, they gave me a full refund.

Ashley Gonzalez I have had nothing but GREAT service every single time I’ve come here! Heather is absolutely amazing — she is always professional, friendly, and genuinely goes above and beyond to make sure I have a great experience. Because of her, I actually look forward to coming in. We’ve purchased multiple products here over time, and every purchase has been smooth and satisfying. The quality has been excellent, and Heather always makes sure I leave with exactly what I need. I can honestly say this is my go-to place, and I will continue coming back to buy more. Thank you, Heather, for making every visit enjoyable!

Alice Weber I first discovered Sarai and her stunning jewelry at a local market, and it has been such a joy to watch her evolve into opening her own beautiful boutique. Her shop is absolutely lovely—warm, inviting, and filled with pieces that are as timeless as they are unique. Sarai pours her heart into every design, and it shows. Each piece carries intention, quality, and artistry, making it more than just jewelry—it’s a personal statement. Beyond the creations themselves, her genuine personality and passion shine through in the atmosphere of her boutique, making every visit feel special. MOKA by Sarai is a true gem in the community, and I couldn’t recommend her shop more highly for anyone looking for jewelry that is elegant, meaningful, and made with love.

Anna Lee A true hidden gem in San Diego! I can’t say enough good things about Khai. This jewelry store is one of those rare finds — the kind of place you wish you had discovered sooner. I came in with my mom to resize her ring, and Khai was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive. He treated her with such care, guiding her through the process and making sure everything was just right. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. The prices are very affordable , especially considering the quality of his work. He also helped me fixing the lock on my bag, he just took care of it quickly and easily. His store has beautiful and unique pieces on display. Next time I’m looking for a ring, I’ll definitely go to Khai and work with him on a custom design. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for fair pricing, excellent craftsmanship, and a jeweler who truly goes above and beyond. A real hidden gem!

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!

Jessica Lucas The staff did a great job piercing my 7 year old daughters ears.

Bev Wagner I had a wonderful time learning how to make this beautiful jewelry. Well worth trying this.
