Preziosi — Local services in Los Altos

Best jeweler I've found: honest, informative, justified prices.

I needed my ring repaired after the diamond fell out. I checked with several jewelers about the cost of replacement. Preziosi's price was slightly higher, but I wanted to work with him because he seemed honest, so I told him about the lower quote from another jeweler. He explained to me the two different types of repairs for my ring's prongs (simple gold solder and full prong buildup) and the relative costs for each (less than a hundred dollars for the simple gold solder). He hypothesized that the other jeweler was charging a slightly lower price for a much lower quality solution. Once I learned about these methods and their pros/cons, it was clear to me that the simple gold solder would be a fragile, short-term solution. I went back to the lower-quote jeweler and asked about their repair methods and they confirmed they would do a simple gold solder. This made Preziosi's price for the full prong buildup drastically the better value and correct solution for my needs. I was grateful for the explanation of the techniques at Preziosi, and I even got to learn how to use the magnifier to see the final result! I'll definitely be returning to Preziosi for any...

I will be back for any jewelry or...
