Just got engaged my fiancé and my mom worked with Sami. I just went to get my ring resized and he was so friendly and kind. He's doing a two day turn around on my order so I have it before I return to college on spring break. Very knowledgeable 4th generation Jeweler. He's done resizing and tightening on 3-4 of my mom's rings. Will be recommending to everyone. My family will also be moving to Tennessee soon but I will continue to ship my rings here. I don't trust anyone else with my fine jewelry. Thank you so much Sami!!

Five Stars are not an adequate representation of Sami & Marcelle's expertise in jewelry. I made a phone call in advance to Sami & Marcelle to let them know I was in the market to purchase some jewelry for my wife. Upon me and my wife's arrival, Marcelle had already taken the liberty of picking out items she believed would be preferential to my wife's tastes It turned out she was spot on!! Nothing beats Wilson's expertise quality and knowledge of the jewelry business. My strongest recommendations for a new yelp rating of 10+ stars. Thank you again Sami & Marcelle you are the best!!

After 18 years of being engaged and 17 years of marriage the center stone of my engagement ring fell out due to wear and tear on the prongs. Fortunately, I found the stone and came to Wilson's Jewelers to fix my engagement ring. Sammy was extremely helpful, patient, understanding, good listener, and knowledgeable. We went through all our options and decided on a larger center stone and put the original center stone on one of the sides and created a duplicate stone on the other side. The ring turned out stunning. Sammy and Marcelle both looked over the ring and stones to make sure the ring is perfect. When I first opened the black box and saw my engagement ring, it took my breath away. It was absolutely beautiful. I cannot be any more happy with the service, design, quality, and overall experience. Sammy and Marcelle truly care about their clients and provide top notch service. I highly recommend Wilsons Jeweler's.

It's going to be difficult explaining why I love this jewelry business and the man Sami, who runs it, in just one short review. I first encountered the store five years ago when I was helping a friend look for his engagement ring. We've been to a couple of your typical engagement ring stores, and the people felt like typical salesmen/women. We went to this place after seeing the yelp reviews and the first thing that struck me was Sami does not feel like a "salesman." He gives you more information about what you're buying than any other person I've encountered, and as he often says, you'll know more about diamonds and rings as his customer, than most sales people know. This was confirmed my experience over and over. I was able to tell other people the kind of rings they bought for their wives, and even they didn't know. And this was after one conversation with Sami. I was so impressed with him when I met him five years ago I kept his card and always planned on coming back to him when I found my wife. This year I did, and I found the card and went back to the store and despite being five years ago and only meeting him in a one time meeting, he remembered me! He was just as great as he was back then, and really helped the process be a beautiful one, and reminded me often about what the ring represents as opposed to trying to upsell me on random little things. Even after the engagement, he's been very patient with me as I try to figure out what I want for our wedding bands. Working with Sami feels like working with a friend you haven't seen in a long while. Sami genuinely cares, even if you don't give him your business. There's so much more to the story of how this was meant to be, but I'll just leave it at this, this is a good man that sells quality products. You won't be disappointed to visit his shop, to buy his products, or to share a conversation with him. He has a lot of experience, wisdom, and some pretty great jokes!

Sami (Wilson's Jewelers) deserves beyond 5 stars! I was a jewelry novice (and I still am), who was staring at a Costco case full of jewelry at the 11th hour, which a friend suggested, wondering what to buy for my future wife for her birthday which was the next day. Yes, I totally procrastinated, sorry. Then, out of total desperation, I launched "Yelp" at close to 4:30 pm and the search returned Wilson's Jewelers, 5 stars. Upon calling, Sami picked up and after explaining my predicament, Sami "graciously," and I emphasize "graciously;" arranged a last-minute appointment at 5:00 pm for me, SAVED!! Before discussing a gift, we talked about life, my wife's routine, coupled with what "I" thought would be appreciated by my wife. We talked more about life then jewelry; there was an immediate, personal connection that is sadly missed these days when it comes to true customer service. In the end Sami provided insight and guidance for selecting the perfect gift. You'll never find a more independent, insightful, and kind jewelry expert in SoCal. God bless Sami and his family

I've been behind in writing this review. But, I have been enjoying my new jewelry sooooo much. I had some pieces that I wanted to remake as well as incorporate special jewelry from my mother. I had some rough ideas of what I wanted. Marcelle's great eye & sense of design enabled her to see and enhance my vision. And then, Sami pulled it all together. They're such a lovely couple and a pleasure to work with. It was almost 9 years ago they helped me design my stacking rings. I don't know why I waited so long this time. I am now wearing & enjoying my very special pieces. I teased Sami about seeing him in another 9 years. Well, unlikely, but all I can say is if you have pieces speaking to you, listen to them, (and Marcelle & Sami.) Don't wait.

If I could give it 10 stars, I would. From the moment I spoke to Sami over the phone I knew he was the right person. Sami was very thorough explaining the process and covered with me all of my options. He took care of me like family. I came to see him because I wanted to replace my Centerstone of my engagement ring, and the work that he did is absolute perfection. The pricing is very reasonable as well. Please note that his business is by appointment only as he wants to make sure all his attention is yours. I am a customer for life.

Very rude individual even though the work he does is good.

The work that was done for me was very good but the customer service was horrible. Therefore, I do not recommend this business.

I really don't know why I waited this long to get my jewelry fixed and redesigned. I came across Wilsons on yelp a few years ago but I wasn't quite ready to make changes yet. I had 2 rings that needed resizing. Turns out one of the rings was in pretty bad shape with broken prongs. Sami fixed the size and the prongs, dipped it in rhodium and it's like a brand new ring. LOVE! I also have 2 rings that my mom gifted me in settings that are not my style. Marcelle and Sami came up with some ideas to turn the pieces into a Tiffany Soleste style band with diamonds, and a halo diamond pendant with a gold necklace that I own but don't use. OMG, both pieces are classic, turned out beautifully, and will be worn and treasured for years to come. Last but not least is a tennis bracelet that needed an extension. Marcelle and Sami gave me ideas on how to extend it without the extension looking like an extension. The result is phenomenal! I can't thank Marcelle enough for her creative design ideas and Sami for his superb technical knowledge. My mom was extremely impressed with the craftsmanship.

If you are looking for a jeweler, look no further! Wilson Jewelers is Old School in that they are fair, honest, personable and do absolutely beautiful work. I had two pieces made and I couldn't be more happy. Sami is just a delight and I imagine he could created the engagement ring of your dreams as well as any quality repairs you need. I honestly will recommend them to friends and family, as well as anyone reading this review! 5 Stars!

Wanted an honest opinion about the value of a ring and the owner gave me some very good advice about how to go about it.

To say Sami is just a jeweler would be an understatement, he's an artist. I felt immediate trust when my husband and I walked into his office. I had lost a diamond on my wedding ring and Sami gave us a couple options to fix. One was to replace and one was to use the existing diamonds and gold to create a new ring. Sami explained everything and took us through each step. He found a new center diamond and set out to make me the perfect ring. We picked it up Saturday but because of my RA it didn't fit. Sami and I had appropriately sized the ring. We took the ring and he reached out on his own to offer to resize and sauter at no additional charge. He is so caring and his work is exquisite. If you're looking for a jeweler, look no further than Sami Chalhoub at Wilson's.

Excellent service, excellent price in a timely manner. I had a number of pieces repaired recently. My engagement ring (which I didn't even know was in a bad shape), I had it checked out and the owner showed me the areas which needed repair, parts had to be hand reconstructed entirely and my ring came out better than when it was band new. Other pieces were in bad condition, stones missing, snapped shanks. Everything was repaired/ replaced and polished beautifully, well timed service and the owner is obviously very knowledgeable, he guided me through all the work and gave me great recommendations on how to best enhance my jewellery.

I was looking for a family jeweler with whom I could trust as I had several very sentimental pieces--both my own and those inherited from my mom--that needed to be fixed and/or redesigned. As previous reviewers have noted, Sami is simply amazing. I was initially a bit hesitant handing over my necklaces to be fixed, but Sami's friendly demeanor and kind personality put me at ease. He's such a delight to work with...he's incredibly creative...super knowledgeable about gems and metals...and beyond patient with someone like me who's new to the idea of redesigning family jewelry. Sami's work is impeccable and his turnaround time is pretty quick considering the fact that he's not only designing the piece but also creating it from scratch. I have been so pleased with the beautiful redesigned wedding set from my mom as well as a companion piece: a beautiful ruby and diamond pendant which was a combination from my mom's and my collections.Sami and I have already discussed the next piece he's going to redesign for me. I'm so thankful to have found an honest jeweler who takes such pride in his work. And, if you're looking for an education in jewels and jewelry, Sami is your person! I am beyond grateful for the time and effort he's put into designing jewelry that reminds me of my mom each and every time I put it on.
