Adrian Blanco jewelry gave me the best ring shopping experience and turned my ideas into a reality. From the moment I walked in, Crystal greeted me with the warmest welcome. I came in looking to get a custom engagement ring made and she assured me that was actually their specialty. As I was showing her reference pictures of what I wanted, she was very curious about my partner, how we met, and personal things other jewelry stores didnât ask me.
I was excited when she told me they could make the ring I wanted. From the beginning, this establishment was very honest and educated me with the pros and cons of my original design. When I met Kyle, he came over and shared his expertise on the matter making some amazing suggestions to make the ring more secure without sacrificing too much aesthetics and design. They helped me realize there was more to a ring than just being beautiful.
Trish and Darren were stellar to work with as well. Just straight rockstars. They worked super hard to find me the exact stone I wanted at the best price. I was adamant on my finding my own natural stone in the beginning because I thought it would be more cost affective to find it on my own through a big box store. However, in the end they found me the most perfect stone which included every spec I asked for at a killer price.
I really appreciated how they took the time to teach me about so many things I didnât think mattered - like the prongs on the ring. I really wanted the claw prongs because they looked better to me, but they suggested the round prongs for the pear shaped main stone and V prongs for the marquees accent stones. I pushed back in the beginning, but because they were so adamant about securing the stones I trusted their recommendation .
Trish did an amazing job with designing the ring and being the main point of contact. We went back and forth so many times trying out different designs and prototypes. I loved working with her because at one point I was worried about not being able to come up with a design for the ring basket and she assured me that âweâre going to keep trying until you love itâ. That showed me this wasnât just a project she needed to work on and move onto the next client as soon as possible. This was something that was carefully created and made with love.
Also shoutout to Joe the Jeweler who worked his magic to craft the best ring I have ever laid my eyes on. He was also able to fix my glasses after my dog broke the nose pads off. With the help of their top of the line laser welder he was able to bring my glasses back to life and made the best ring ever.
Thereâs absolutely no better team I could have asked for to create this special moment in my life. My fiancĂ© was so impressed and really believes she has the best ring sheâs ever seen in her life. Adrian, thank you for all your hospitality and for welcoming me like your own family. I am forever grateful for the...
   Read moreI had a WONDERFUL experience with Mr. Blanco. He sent me a message on facebook after seeing my post in Folsom chat to get a better understanding of what I needed. He scheduled a quick appointment with me to help my situation. After such a bad experience with another Jeweler in folsom, Adrian was a breath of fresh air.
For a little more context- I have a medical condition that has caused weight gain since I got engaged back in the day. For 2-3 years I have gone without wearing a wedding ring and It has always made me sad.
I finally bit the bullet as a valentineâs day gift to myself to have my original ring resized. The place I went to (not Adrianâs) resized the rings incorrectly then wanted to charge me to have them fixed. When I took the rings to Adrianâs, it turns out even after fixing them a second time they were STILL not the size I requested. They were too small and I couldnât wear them.
Adrian took a look at my wedding band and wedding ring and let me know that the band was very thin. He wanted to warn me that stretching it and resizing it could break the ring. We discussed options and it stuck out to me that he said âI want to make sure this is done the RIGHT way. Not just the easy way. â he acknowledged that the RIGHT was is what is best for the customer and that âJewlery is not a sales business, but a customer service one.â
Towards the end of our appointment he asked me why I hadnât attached the rings. I sheepishly admitted that when my husband and I got engaged we were very poor. We wanted to have a ring but didnât have the funds. We bought it second hand and I never really liked the style. The solitaire looked odd next to the wedding band my mom had gifted us. I always figured one day we would upgrade it but it never was a financial priority. So between this and my health issues it sat in a box on my dresser for years.
Adrian asked me what my favorite syle was and went to work looking for a way to help me get the ring I wanted while still keeping the sentimental value and budget comfortable. Adrian helped me make my dream ring a possibility! He told me âI canât fix what happened in the past. Iâm sorry that happened, and I want to make things better going forwardâ
My husband and I are thrilled. We are grateful Adrian restored our faith in jewlery stores. He is a stand up guy, knows his trade very well, took great care of us and I couldnât...
   Read moreI'm not the best at writing reviews, but this time I am going to do my best.
It was last Wednesday, July 25th, 3 days before our wedding,....yes 3 days! I was trying to find a band to go with my Great Grandmother's diamond ring, that was broken and had one prong worn off. This, a ring from 1915, when my great grandparents married, over 100 years ago. I thought that this was going to be an impossible task, for this is a miners cut diamond in a beautifully detailed setting. I was referred to Adrian, by Jessie at Kay jewelers, who said "I know someone that can fix it for you but he's not open until Wednesday".
I went to see Adrian, the first thing on Wednesday, and said "Jessie sent me and said that you could fix it for me and oh ya i'm getting married in 3 days". Well, he did what I thought was impossible and exceeded my expectations. Not only did he fix my Great Grandmother's ring, but he found a double band and custom fit it around this already beautiful ring...
I went to pick it up on Friday, but didn't want to see it until my husband put it on my finger during the wedding ceremony. I closed my eyes, tried it on, and it fit perfectly!! I had put all of my trust, in someone that I had just met, with a priceless family heirloom. Well, I have just two words to say about the transformation that Adrian performed, on my wedding ring, "ABSOLUTELY STUNNING"!
I could not have imagined my ring being any more perfect. It made my wedding day, a day that I will treasure forever. I cannot thank Adrian enough for his expertise, attention to detail, and most of all, his graciousness. Both Adrian and Yana have made me feel like family, since the first time that I walked through their door.
If I had not already had my Great Grandmother's ring, I definitely would have purchased one from them. They have a beautiful selection to choose from. As if they had not already done enough, after the wedding, we took my husband's ring to Adrian, to be resized, and again he did an amazing job! I highly recommend Adrian Blanco Jewelry to anyone that is looking for the highest level of care, commitment, and professionalism needed to help make your wedding day one of the most memorable experiences of your life.
Thank you, Adrian, Yana, and Joe...... we will definitely see you...
