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 needed to get my great grandmother’s engagement ring sized to fit me. I should preface this by saying that I was incredibly nervous for anyone to mess with this ring because of how old it is and how important it is to me. I saw glowing reviews for ER Sawyer so called and the woman on the phone said they could have it back to me before Christmas (a three day turnaround) and that depending on the ring, it would cost $60-80. I showed up on Wednesday morning and Richie helped me- he was so nice and helpful- quoted me within the cost I was told over the phone and he also showed me my ring up close and talked about its qualities. They said my ring would be ready by 12pm on Christmas Eve and the call came a day early! I went by and the ring was still a little big (thanks, mom, for the honey fingers) and the owner came over and looked at it with us. He said they would have it ready by that night or the next day which was fine since I wasn’t expecting it till then anyway. My ring was ready the next morning. Merry Christmas to me because not only did it fit perfect but they “shanked” it for me because it had been wearing down under the finger. They had mentioned I may want to do that but it would be a little pricey. They just did it because I had to come back and they wanted the job done perfectly. This shop went above and beyond my expectations for sure and they were all incredibly kind. My fiancé will need his sized too and we are definitely going back.

My wife and I had our wedding rings designed 14 years ago, and Doug and the team have provided us with great service from a graduation gift for my son to my Bulova watches. The team at ER Sawyer is always friendly and helpful and they have actual goldsmiths on site 6 days a week.   I am a customer for life!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I just got engaged on xmas and came in to have my ring changed a bit and sized,I have no idea about what size,what look etc and leslie the lady who helped me made me feel SO comfortable and at ease I wont go anywhere else now,THANK!!!

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!

Went in hoping to find out a little more about a pocket watch that we inherited. The gentlemen was very kind to actually open it up and see if the inside of the back had any markings to tell what type of metal it was and what to properly clean it with. He was impressed the inside was impeccably clean. It had been in a display case but worked beautifully. Found out it was no metal of significant value and even gave me a polishing cloth to clean it with. Although we didn’t purchase anything their customer service was on point as if we were making a large purchase. Will consider them in the future of our jewelry needs.

Fantastic service and knowledgeable team! I had to get my ring sized down (2 whole sizes wowza) and i needed it the SAME day! They came through, and provided great service along the way! I highly recommend this team and store!

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.

I worked with Starla from beginning to end and was blown away by the stellar customer service. I didn’t really know what I was looking for and after chatting with her decided to go custom and make something totally my own! It was lovely looking at all of the beautiful shiny on display while we worked with ideas. My budget wasn’t huge at all but Starla was super helpful with suggestions and ways to make my ring everything I hoped. I will look forward to working with this jeweler again! Thank you so much.

The fiance and I decided to check this place out based on a recommendation by some close friends who had just bought the guy’s wedding band here. since we were up that way we wanted to see what they’re talking about since at some point we need to get His band walked in one Saturday afternoon and they looked busy, good sign. the place looked nice and inviting, not too many sales people, phew. with lots of good lighting. we were greeted instantly by Judy who inquired about our visit and took us to the guys wedding band section… she was very helpful and listened to everything we had to say to help us figure out what we did/didn’t like. never at any point did we feel pressured to buy; i’m sure it helped we mentioned we hadn’t looked at wedding bands yet at all, but still it was appreciated. we learned a wealth of knowledge during our visit about the different metals, finishes, widths, etc. to wedding bands. Judy was so helpful and informative, we spent damn near an hour in there looking at bands…naturally i was curious about a band for me! so i tried some on too his/her rings were a bit more expensive then what i expected (this coming from the girl who’d only looked at Costco and ShaneCo, lol) …also HIS exact ring isn’t available to try, we have to order it so it’s a gamble to order. overall a great experience, no wonder my friends got the guys ring here!!
