“I have been a customer of Numis International & the now newly owned Numis for a long time. I bought many vintage jewelry pieces with Numis International and I'm absolutely happy with my buy and with everyone's expertise like Tony, Terry & Al including Jacob. I find that their vintage jewelry pieces were beautiful, authentic, and reasonably priced. They have absolute professional pleasant customer service. I like their direct approach in doing their assessment with their pieces of jewelry. It is not being rude it is just being honest. I was very surprised when Numis International sold their business and continue to miss them. I am glad to see the former employees stayed with the new ownership. However, I am missing all the beautiful vintage jewelry pieces that was with the former Numis Inernational.”
“Erica was so helpful and kind when we came in to get a beloved piece of jewelry fixed. She made our visit to Geoffrey’s an amazing experience and we will definitely be back to work with her.”
“On Valentine’s Day, I proposed to my girlfriend, and she said yes! The beautiful ring is now hers, and she absolutely loves it! We are both amazed by its beautiful design and craftsmanship, and by the dazzling shimmer and sparkle of the diamond. She really enjoys the peekaboo sapphires, too! ?”
“Mario & Mary are amazing!
From the moment we walked in, they made us feel so welcomed. Mario took the time to show us everything we were interested in without ever making us feel rushed, and he made the whole moment feel special. Mary interacted with us the entire time, sharing her own ring story, which made the experience even more meaningful. I truly appreciate you both! If you’re planning to visit a location, this is the one to go to!”
“I had such a great experience at Valliani Jewelry. What stood out immediately was the leadership in the store. The supervisor has created an environment that’s both fun and respectful — and honestly, that balance is rare. In many places, supervisors are either too lax (which leads to careless service) or too strict (which makes staff feel stiff and robotic). Here, it’s right in the middle. The team feels confident, professional, and genuinely happy to help.
Their approach to selling is also refreshing. They don’t just push products to make a sale. They really pay attention to what you’re looking for, make thoughtful suggestions, and treat you like you matter — not like a transaction. You actually feel special and taken care of.
At one point, a piece of an earring I was trying dropped. Instead of reacting with suspicion or awkwardness, they calmly helped me look for it and handled the situation with total grace. That told me a lot about their professionalism and trust in their customers.
Even with many people in the store, they manage to attend to everyone without making anyone feel ignored. Somehow the experience is so smooth and pleasant that you almost forget about the price tags… which is dangerous in the best way. ?
Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing customer service and selection!
I took a watch in today to get resized. It’s a Breitling Navitimer with a notoriously difficult bracelet to adjust. I had taken it to a jeweler in San Francisco, Elite Fine Jewelry, who took 5 days to adjust my watch. And didn’t do it correctly. They said the half links could not be removed. Leaving me with a slightly too large watch.
I was in Burlingame and decided to see if Topper could assist. When I walked into the stor I was warming greeted, offered a beverage, and introduced to an associate (I’m terrible with names and can’t remember hers) who could assist me. We confirmed that I needed a half link removed which the associate said would not be a problem. 5-10 minutes later the watch was back on my wrist with the half link removed!
Topper earned a future customer in me when I’m ready to make my next purchase. If you’re in the market for a new watch, I can not recommend them enough!”
“We had a great experience at Akarashan, with very short notice, attending a traditional Indian-style wedding. Harminder helped my wife and I immensely to pick some outfits that look great together!”
“This is my first time coming into best collateral. I was greeted with a great, excellent smile and service by Norma. I was quite frankly astounded by how helpful and honest and in my best interest, her service. I was able to get a loan and came out really happy. It was really quick. I was in and out in 15 minutes with great results.”
“Rosaline was terrific! She showed me all types of engagement rings, explaining all the different cuts, styles and price ranges, but most importantly never once applying any pressure to buy. She listened to my concerns and gathered all that info to provide me the best option. Zales was the first store I stopped to look at rings, and I told her I’d shop around. She provided me her business card and said she’s be happy to help if I’d return. It was hard to find the same level of customer service and quality of ring for the price. I returned and purchased the ring. I’d recommend you visit Zales and look for Rosaline for your jewelry needs! And by the way, she said YES! I’ll be sure to stop by again to purchase the wedding bands ??!”
“I can’t speak highly enough of Marie and the entire team at Kerns Burlingame. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely heard, valued, and welcomed.
I came in with a list of watches I thought I’d like, and Marie graciously listened — but what stood out most was how she guided me beyond that list. With her deep knowledge and intuition, she suggested a timepiece I hadn’t considered… and I ended up loving it. Her guidance helped me discover what truly fits me.
The experience was so meaningful that I ended up getting two timepieces in just two weeks — a testament to how much I enjoyed working with her.
Marie’s warmth, professionalism, and personal touch reminded me of the kind of high-level care I aim to give my own clients as a relationship manager. She’s not just an expert — she’s become a friend and an inspiration.
The rest of the Kerns Burlingame team is equally welcoming. They make you feel like part of the family every time you step in.
I always recommend Kerns to anyone looking for a trusted, thoughtful, and personal experience in their watch journey. This is exactly the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.”
“My wife and I were killing time waiting for a flight and found this gem! Incredibly reasonably priced clothes and the owner is super friendly. So glad we found it!”
“I had the absolute pleasure of meeting with Gus, a sales representative at Kay Jewelers, and I can't say enough about the incredible experience he provided. I was searching for the perfect watch for my husband in celebration of our 12th anniversary, and Gus went above and beyond to help me find it.
From the moment I walked in, Gus was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely interested in helping me choose something meaningful. He listened carefully to what I was looking for, asked thoughtful questions, and made expert suggestions without ever being pushy. His knowledge, patience, and eye for style made the process not only easy but truly enjoyable.
Thanks to Gus, I found a watch that my husband absolutely loves—it was the perfect blend of elegance and functionality, and it made our anniversary that much more special.
If you're looking for someone who truly cares about helping you find something unforgettable, I highly recommend asking for Gus. He’s a true professional and a gem at Kay Jewelers!”
“Today 03/06/26 at 8:00 pm the girl who helped me was excellent, very sweet and kind. I was really nervous because my ear piercings had closed, but she made me feel comfortable and safe. I 100% recommend this place for such a pleasant experience. If you read this, thank you! ?”
“My daughter got her ears pierced and she was so nice and helped my daughter with her ear piercings she was very very kind like I said Claire’s is my daughter’s favorite jewelry shop she’s so absolutely obsessed with Claire’s and she’s always been obsessed with her earrings”
“Daniel helped my mom melt down and remake a lot of jewelry she had inherited into pieces more in her style. Everything came out really beautiful. Daniel was as also able to resize an eternity band for me, something other jewelers had told me was impossible. He is so nice and has really lovely pieces at reasonable prices. We've bought a few things from him now and always have a great experience. I have recommended him to friends and family too.”
“Everything about the store is fantastic. I have been taking all of my favorite jewelry to the store for years. They've always taken such great care of me, especially with pieces that are very sentimental. I don't have expensive items, but they treat each piece with such care. The owner and the employees are amazing. If you're looking for a jeweler, you have to go here they are incredible. They also have incredible taste so you'll find really nice. One of a kind pieces. They always pick the nicest items.. Thank you for always helping me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I’ve been an elemetal customer for 15 years and have always received exceptional service from every member of the elemetal team. The current office manager Ray is a pleasure to deal with! He checks in our refining lots quickly and efficiently. The convenience of being able to drop off our material rather than ship, and receiving our settlements next day is key to our business success. Thanks for helping our biz grow, elemetal!”
“This shop is a treasure in Half Moon Bay - be certain to visit Personal Fx on Main Street. There are beautiful art pieces and gorgeous jewelry. My entire family has been shopping here for decades. The owner, Kathy, is super friendly and knowledgeable about jewelry and trends. You can get a quick gift or spend a bit more for a special occasion. Wonderful variety!”
“Found this place via Yelp. Have been looking for a small, reliable and trustworthy jeweler since our fam jeweler closed her biz years ago. Have so far brought multiple items for repair. Done beautifully. Very reasonable pricing. Great communication. Timely finish. Nice counter staff and Kelly, the jeweler, is both competent and a hoot. Have enjoyed our association. This place is super. No hesitation to recommend.”
“Exceptional Customer Service coupled with Unique and Eclectic Selection of Quality Items! 1st time customer of this store. Had a relatively tricky sizing issue request with my new symbolically meaningful Sterling Silver/Natural Stone necklace. While the store owner, Konstantin, doesn't even typically work with silver jewelry per se, he went out of his way to accommodate my request for a more than reasonable fee. I'll definitely come back to this store potentially for purchasing at least one of their premium brand watches for myself, some cool precious jewelry pieces for my girlfriend, as well as possibly some other fairly rare items.”
“Incredibly welcoming sisters who have curated a shop filled with wonderful and unique finds and gifts! Definitely check out when you’re in town on those gorgeous HMB days.”
“Buying from this gentlemen was a real pleasure. Immediately he and I became friends. He is honest and the fairest person I've done business with in a long time. I can't say enough about my experience. Thank you so much.”
“To the gentleman at the front desk who convinced me to buy the Filson Short Lined Cruiser jacket: THANK YOU SO MUCH. I’m excited to re-wax it next season. Can’t wait to tell my friends that visit half moon bay to check out your awesome local shop!”
“I’m so thankful with Kataneh, she help us to find the right ring for me. And I’m difficult with my taste. We had an amazing time with her and she really knows what she’s doing. Thank you so much Kataneh!”
“First time visiting this wonderful vintage store... The layout of the store is great, and the items are really lovely. Erika was super kind, helpful, and a pleasure to meet.
I'd highly recommend checking out her store! She has a pretty extensive jewelry collection, and quite a few other really unique items in stock, including some absolutely gorgeous vases! I really wish I had more room...
I'll definitely be back!!”
“Amazing store and people. Humberto found me my Rolex timepiece, and patiently dealt with me being picky about the dial; went out of the way to find one that I envisioned. Grade A+ on expertise and customer service! Highly recommend.”

“Monica is the most amazing stylist. I just bought a a dress, gloves and jewelry for my daughter for her 18th birthday. Monica has amazing expertise in French attire. So worth it for your teenager if you want to surprise them. Been working with Monica for over 15 years. Well worth the stop by on Main Street in HMB if you’re coming down or up the coast.”
“Levon is one of the very last watch specialists in the area. He completely rebuilt a family heirloom Hamilton that I wanted to start wearing again. He also reset two family rings for me, the stones were high quality but I didn't like the settings. His prices are very reasonable and his work is beautiful.”
“Finally found reputable jewelery to change watch batteries and repair my jewelry. Honest opinions, knowledgeable, excellent work. Will be taking my other jewelry work to them as well.”
