David Tishbi Jewelry — Local services in Santa Monica

After the Palisades fire, my husband’s wedding ring was found under two feet of ash—damaged but thankfully intact. I reached out to David, and even though he had lost both his home and his store, he offered to meet me at a house in Santa Monica where he and his family were staying.

When I arrived, I saw a long table covered with jewelry from other fire victims—pieces he was carefully cleaning and restoring, one by one.

David took the time to clean our ring with the utmost care, calling me with updates to make sure none of the design details were lost. A few days later, I picked it up in a beautiful box—he wouldn’t accept payment, just said he was happy to help.

David and his family have created custom pieces and repaired or cleaned several items for us over the years. He’s a trusted, local, and talented jeweler—and a genuinely kind person.

His new studio at 632 Montana Avenue is beautifully designed, absolutely chic, and well worth a visit. You won’t see a storefront from the street—it’s tucked away upstairs—but take the time to find it. You’ll be...

Working with David was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. From the very beginning, David brought such care, expertise, and artistry to creating my engagement ring, wedding band, and my husband’s wedding ring. Each piece is not only stunning, but also incredibly personal — thoughtfully crafted with impeccable attention to detail.

David truly listened to what we wanted and offered guidance that felt both professional and deeply human. He took our vision and elevated it, designing rings that feel timeless yet unique to us as a couple. His craftsmanship is extraordinary — the rings are absolute works of art — and yet what stood out most was how kind, patient, and invested he was every step of the way.

We feel so lucky to have found him and couldn’t recommend him more highly. Thank you, David, for creating pieces that will carry our love story...

I am so in love with David Tishbi jewelry. I was just there today and bought a gold “Pali” pendant. The new space is stunning and so classy. Wow 🤩 Over the years I have acquired many pieces from their studio. Each one is unique and special. David has made custom pieces for me and all are wonderful! He also continues to repair and restore other pieces of precious jewelry I already owned. He makes it all looks sparkly and new! His custom design pieces exceed my expectations every time!! You will be very impressed with the attention to detail; believe me, as a surgeon I notice that type of skill! His customer service, quality of his designs, gems and stones is top notch. Don’t miss seeing them in their new location!! You will be glad you did!! Janette...
