Victorias Jewelry — Local services in West Hollywood

I was referred to three jewelers for custom wedding rings. The first one, Victoria's Jewelry, family-operated and employed, had a warm feel, a gentle touch, a twinkle, but no bells and whistles, no fancy zip code, no pontification. The second one, a downtown jeweler, was in the heart of jewelryland, in an old dilapitated building, within a somewhat obscure office behind its old crickity door. Upon opening it, I was presented with the pizaz and exotic and the owner-operator-designer flustered from behind the lobby barrier, wiping his sweat from his brow, greeting me, directing his modelish receptionist who was his wife to provide me some brochures, and assured me that despite his rushed moment, that he could handle this with great perfection.

Wonderful jewelry shop with very kind owners who have been in business here for over 27 years. I went there to have a necklace resized and Nikolai was very helpful - he even resized it for me a second time when it was a little too long the first time.
