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.

Leslie and the team at ER Sawyer go above and beyond in all aspects of customer service and experience. My husband selected a family heirloom ring to propose, but it needed a new diamond and some serious cleaning/restoring. He took it to ER Sawyer and they made it look like a brand new ring – the before and after photos they have on file are jaw dropping (I love that they could show me a before pic, once I had it on my finger).
Unfortunately, my ring size wasn’t known and it was made a few sizes too big, so I went in a few times to get it sized back down. Since the filigree on my ring is so small and detailed, Leslie took the time to show me under the microscope all of it’s beauty and rarity. Being a platinum antique ring, they ensured me that their goldsmith would use advanced laser technology and explained the techniques, so I wouldn’t worry so much about damaging the ring. Both Leslie and Morgan were very helpful during this process.
When it came time to pick out a wedding band for my husband and myself, Leslie spent time with each of us to find out what we wanted, show us examples to try on and answered all of our questions. We never felt rushed. Leslie also made herself available via email for me to schedule drop-in times and order details. Payments were super easy and accommodating and included cleanings for my ring have always been quick and wonderful.
My husband loves wearing his new wedding band and I love my combo of my engagement ring with the new custom made wedding band. We are so grateful and pleased with our experiences here at ER Sawyer!

The Valley Fire in Lake County on September 12th, 2015 was an awful experience for so many people including my family. We thought we’d lost everything. The day we sifted our home we found my grandmothers wedding ring, inside a ring box that was inside another box. More than likely the only reason is survived. It looked like it had been to hell and back. I had no reason to believe it would ever been worn again until Doug and his amazing team took charge. I will post a photo of before and after. The photo will speak volumes. Thank you E.R Sawyer Jewelers for being THE place to take my grandmother ring. You are my jewelry from now on.

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 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.

My wedding ring needed to be resized. I did some research and found ER Sawyer is the only jeweler in town that is part of the American Gem Society. My husband and I didn’t feel comfortable to leave it with just ANY jeweler (especially since my husband put in quite a bit of money for it). It gave me confidence that I was giving my ring to a jeweler that adheres to an ethical standard and that I know they will do the work right.
Judy was very helpful. After she measured current ring size and put in the work order, she took the time to answer all my questions and show me some pieces they offer. It also gave me a chance to get to know and see for myself why the other yelpers gave this place positive reviews. I had a pleasant experience just to even browse around this store and not feel pushed to buy.
I received the ring about a week and a half later. The ring fits beautifully and looks perfect! I’m happy I can start wearing it again. I would definitely come here again in the future. (Maybe I’ll convince my husband to get my engagement ring re-set here for our wedding anniversary… wink wink).

I walked in there thinking that the jewelry store might have been too fancy for me. It was quite fancy but their prices were fair and their service was excellent. I live in Sonoma but will drive all the way to Santa Rosa to keep getting a great experience.

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.
