Customer Testimonials

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.

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!

My mother gave me a pair of earrings worn by her when she came from Greece to the United States in 1949 to marry my father. I don’t know how long she wore the earrings before that but I am guessing a long time. I have had them for over 50 years myself but they were broken and worn. They have tremendous sentimental value to me. I brought them to Leslie at E.R. Sawyer Jewelers. She immediately understood how important the earrings are to me especially because I want to pass them down to my granddaughter someday. Leslie did a fantastic job on the earrings. They turned out perfect and I am so thankful to her. She is so personable and caring. I highly recommend E.R. Sawyer Jewelers!

This place lives up to the reviews, I was very impressed. Because of my work schedule I didn’t have much time to shop for my wife’s birthday, and I wanted to get her a locket engraved with a B and a picture of our son inside. I fully expected not to get it in time for her birthday, due to my lack of planning. I believe I worked with Alfredo, although I am terrible with names, and they where able to get a locket, engrave it, put the pictures in for me, help me pick out a chain, and wrap it up within one day! And it came in well under my projected budget. I was very happy with ER Sawyer, and will definitely return.

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!

Thank you for everything Leslie!!! You took great care of my fiance (at the time) and I when we were looking for the perfect ring. This was a very nerve-racking endeavor at first and I appreciate how you made us comfortable and answered all of our questions.

If you want quality, service and an amazing experience when shopping for Jewerly, this is the place to go. The staff is amazing, and can work with just about any budget. They are creative, and really listen to the needs of the customer, and aren’t just there to sell you a piece of metal. I have bought many pieces from there, as well as used them for service and have never had a bad experience. I will treasure every piece of jewerly I own from them for a life time.

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.

They tell you what they will do with your jewelry repairs and then they just do it. this is a rarity in the jewelry biz as i’ve been burned before.  not these guys.  they can be trusted.

I’ve been searching for 20 years to turn my parents wedding rings into one ring for me...Leslie worked with me to pinpoint my vision for the final product and it turned out perfect!
