Customer Testimonials
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!

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!)

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 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.

My wedding ring had become fatigued and started to come apart. Brought my ring in and talked to the lady’s at ER Sawyer where they advised me on my options to have my ring repaired. I decided to also have my ring re-sized. They were very helpful and polite and my ring was repaired very quickly. It’s hasn’t looked this good in a long time. I would highly recommend using them.

Such a nice, tidy store tucked away in 4th Street–a pleasant surprise. I recently visited this shop to have a gold signet ring engraved–or should I say re-engraved. I was assisted by Morgan, a quite knowledgeable young lady who helped me with font selection and gave me valuable advice about what I could expect re machine engraving vs. hand-engraving. She and Leslie did an excellent job for me and were communicative, cheerful and enthusiastic. These are the kinds of things that will keep me coming back in the future.

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!

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!!

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.
