Hometown business since the 1870’s. Top notch customer service. Selection of jewelry is not big city tremendous. And the styles tend towards middle of the road. There’s no big inventory of cutting edge wacky ultra-modern designs here. What they carry is good quality at fair prices.
Bambie, the spouse, purchased a $1000 ring that she wore for just 24 hours when she decided that it was not comfortable. We returned, explained the discontent and our money was promptly refunded. There was nothing else in the display cases of similar style that called out. The search for a topaz & diamond ring continues.
Highly recommended on the strength of the wonderful employees.

I can’t say enough good things about this business. Right after DOMA’s repeal, my partner and I put it into high gear to put together a wedding. We did not have a lot of money to spend on rings and were worried we would not find anything. We even considered just going to a stand in the mall (shudder)
Enter Leslie. We sheepishly walked in, and she made us feel so comfortable and she was so warm. We looked at a wide range of rings in our price range, and after much flutter, ended up picking the same design. They were custom made and could not be more beautiful. Never once did we feel pressured to spend beyond our range.
Leslie, you made this potentially anxiety provoking situation something exciting, fun and sacred.
This is what good business is.

My fiance and I visited ER Sawyer to search for my engagement ring at my friend Lorelei’s recommendation.
Judy worked with us to find exactly the ring styling and stone to meet our criteria – she listened to our wants and kept within our budget -my ring is beautiful and unique!
We were so impressed with the professional and courteous service which Judy provided that we returned to Sawyer for both wedding bands – And again Judy assisted to find designs with which we are so pleased.
When I had to get my engagement ring resized Judy assisted me to determine the correct sizing and even got the ring completed ahead of estimate.
I returned to Judy for accessory pieces to complement my bridal dress. Judy introduced me to the freshwater pearl designs from Honora. I selected a set of stack bracelets which looked beautiful with my dress!
Have since purchased from Judy two Honora freshwater pearl necklaces – they pair with my stack bracelets and are a great look with any outfit.
Sawyer’s is absolutely worth the drive from Castro Valley…we love the personal service which Judy provides and appreciate our time in wine country!

I was looking for a jeweler that would be able to size a family heirloom ring. We have been to a few places but were discouraged for one reason or another. We found ER Sawyer and received an immediate response, we brought the ring in, explained what we would like to have done and crossed our fingers. Not only were they absolutely amazing with the process but even cleaned my other engagement ring while we were waiting... just because!! The resizing was not only fast but the ring looks AMAZING! I cannot express enough my gratitude for the amazing job they did... but just the stellar customer service that is off the charts amazing! If you want EXCELLENT service and unbeatable craftsmanship... please call Leslie at ER Sawyer, she will make you feel like a celebrity!

My husband bought me the most beautiful vintage ring I have ever seen for Christmas this year. My son also bought his girlfriend a gorgeous promise ring at the same time. 2 lucky girls :). My husband was very impressed with service, selection and loved shopping here. We love our rings and they have made a customer for life.

Yay for ER Sawyer Jewelers! I’ve been trying to get my engagement ring appraised as it’s been passed down from my fiance’s great-aunt. I’ve had no luck finding a shop that would do an independent appraisal, until today! The other stores could do it if they were doing the sizing, but they couldn’t if they weren’t, as the stone is already mounted. ER Sawyer, however, *is* able to appraise it while it’s mounted, and all their people are GIA-certified.
And yay for Starla there! She assured me that they have the tools and expertise to do this. She was great, very friendly and professional. She wrote a receipt for me that included a description of my ring, including a rough pre-appraisal guess-timate of the ring’s value for insurance purposes in case anything happened to it before I could get it back. Additionally, she let me know that because my ring is older, its prongs had worn down a bit and were loose. They can touch up the tips of the prongs and make sure the center stone is secure.
They’re also giving my ring a complimentary polish. One more time- yay for ER Sawyer Jewelers for their great customer service and capability.

I dropped off my girlfriends diamond ring to have it resized and to get an appraisal for insurance purposes. The ring and appraisal were ready by the due date. The work is excellent and the appraisal of the diamond ring’s value exceeded what I paid for it. The staff also verified the inscription on the girdle matched my GIA cert. for no charge. Will definitely return.

Went in for some earrings for the lady for her birthday. Staff was first class, made some very helpful suggestions and gave me a huge range of options. Got a great diamond set of earrings at a good price. Very good at what they do.

My fiance had my engagement ring set here and they did an amazing job! I have gone in a few times since to have my ring sized and to look at wedding bands. Both times Leslie has been incredibly nice and helpful. I can often be indecisive and she was patient and happy to help me make a decision. When I took my ring in to have it sized, I dropped it off at 11 and they called at 2 to tell me it was done. I was impressed with the speed and quality of work they did. It was spectacular. They have a new client for life.
