I came in at the last minute to see if I could get our wedding rings cleaned and polished before our ceremony (in 2 days!) and Leslie was so helpful and put a rush on our rings (no extra charge!) and when I saw them the day of the wedding, they were SO BEAUTIFUL. They all looked better than I remember when we first got them! Absolutely will come back here for any ring or jewelry services.
Thank you Leslie!

If I could give ER Sawyer 6 stars I would!! Leslie Griswold is wonderful!! I don’t know full details of the engagement ring process, but Leslie and my fiance (now husband) went above and beyond choosing the perfect diamond and custom setting to surprise me with on our engagement.
Leslie makes us feel like her only customers! We chose our wedding bands with her as well. She even text me a couple weeks before our wedding day (yes, she remembered our wedding day!) as a reminder to bring the bands in for cleaning and inspection prior to our destination wedding. WHAT??? Is she my maid of honor?? She’s amazing. I also text her back asking for a surprise engraving 10 days before our wedding and she got it done right away.
Shop local, its SO worth it. Thank you Leslie and ER Sawyer, you are our jeweler for life and we have been recommending you to everyone!

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.

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!

Doug and his team are TOP NOTCH Jewelry professionals. I was looking for the best for my future Fiance and discovered just that, Hearts on Fire and ER Sawyer Jewelers. Hearts on Fire states that is the worlds most perfectly cut diamond. You would expect the Jeweler who carries such a high end diamond to be equally matched….And I am happy to say that, Wow! What a team of professionals. Every person on staff greets you with a smile and great customer service. Thanks ER Sawyer Jewelers, you made me look like a Rock Star to my Fiance. (Get it, Rock star!)

If I could give E.R. Sawyer infinite stars, I would! My fiance and I came here to pick out my engagement ring a while back and we could not be happier with the ring.
I am a picky girl and the owners were so patient with me. When it came time to pick out the diamonds, I left the store. But they worked with my fiance to pick out the right diamonds and I could not be happier with my ring. The added bonus is that they carry Hearts on Fire diamonds and they are absolutely worth it. I can go for weeks without cleaning my ring and my Hearts on Fire diamonds still give a lot of sparkle.
I will always go to E.R Sawyer for all of my jewelry needs!

Classy, Personal and Efficient are all words that describe ER Sawyer Jewelers.
My mother-in-law recommended this local shop to my sweet husband for my engagement ring. My husband told me that Leslie worked so well with them. She helped them find the perfect ring to match with the grandmother’s ring that I was also getting. Leslie even texted my husband in the winter months to make sure that the ring was still fitting. I love the thoughtfulness and personal touch of this kind deed.
When I took my rings in to get cleaned and soldered before the wedding, Leslie was so sweet and helpful. You can tell that she enjoys her job and getting to know her customers. When I picked up my ring after it was soldered together, she mentioned that she wanted to see wedding pictures next time that I was in. So almost 1 year later, I went to get our rings cleaned for our 1 year anniversary and I brought my wedding album to show her. She happily stopped her work to sit with me and to genuinely enjoy the album. I am grateful that my husband chose my ring from this shop.
P.S. (If you do go in and Leslie is helping someone else, she might not greet you until she is done with her current customers, but that’s because she gives 100% attention and love to the customers that she is working with in that moment). I am thankful for her great customer service.

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.

Almost went with an online company but, the customer service and overall experience here was amazing.
Had a custom ring made for my girlfriend, now fiancée, and she loves it. Better than she was expecting me to do I think
Would definitely recommend, ask for Morgan.
