I've been here several times over the years -- I started out with little, easy things - a broken clasp here, a missing link there, etc. Each time I stopped by I was encouraged -- both by Mario's capabilities and by his and Sandy's overall demeanor. Bolstered by how smoothly the easy fixes had been, I came to them with more complicated (read: important to me) jobs to do - remove links from an heirloom tennis bracelet to create two pairs of diamond studs, transform a vintage pair of screw on art deco earrings into two pendants and things like this. Mario handled all of these with skill and aplomb and I was delighted to have found a legitimately capable jeweler in South Redondo! My most recent job for him was the most challenging and creative yet. I had an idea to turn one of my grandfather's monogram cufflinks into a signet ring (we have the same initials). I went in to Aprile, discussed my plan with Mario, we brainstormed for a bit, he sketched out a few things, we honed the design and before I knew it, he was texting me real time shots of the creative process. It was finished within 2 weeks and it's GORGEOUS. I'm thrilled with my one-of-a-kind piece and with the artistry Mario displays. So happy that I noticed their little store front way back when and that I took that initial step with them! I'm a fan and customer for the duration!

My fiancé got my engagement ring here and naturally we wanted to come back to design our wedding bands. Mario and Sandy were such a pleasure to work with as they listen intently on what our vision is and are so easy to communicate with. Mario can make any design you can think of and that brings a unique experience. I know our rings aren't made like any other and we absolutely love them! Mario consistently checked in with us to ensure the design and development of our bands was what we wanted. I loved our decision to shop locally over big chain jewelers as the customer service was truly catered to us and made us feel incredibly special in preparation for a big moment in our lives. If you have jewelry needs, look no further than Aprile Jewelers!

The uniqueness, creativity, and professionalism we received during our search for the perfect ring were truly outstanding! Mr. and Mrs. Aprile was extremely attentive and masterfully brought my dream ring to life. The lines and details are intricate, yet the integrity and quality are firm and sturdy. If you are looking for a valuable piece of jewelry that will last a lifetime, this is a wonderful place that will make that happen!

Well, you know how hard it is to find an honest, caring, individual in the jewelry business, well look no further, I mean these guys are top notch! Mario and Sandy, we love them. Prior to dealing with them I would go to my aunt which was so easy, since she passed away, it took me two years to find someone. I really hope you have the same experience. Another thing we experienced was he spent probably about four or five days with us just so we can get it just right, which really wasn't a big deal but within that time every time a customer would come in they would give them hugs! Right then and there I knew I made the right decision with them! See the picture below that he created for me from scratch.

I walked in here to see if they could replace my watch battery. I had a friend recommend Finleys down the street but warned me that he waited weeks for a simple service so I opted to try this shop. I was in and out in 5 min! Nice customer service. Will be back!

Mario repurposed the diamonds in my mom's old wedding ring to make a beautiful ring and necklace for me. Such a great experience

I was in town for a short visit and needed my ring resized. Normally takes two weeks but because I was in town for a week they did it in a few days. Looks like a new ring!

Mario and Sandra are the best husband/wife business team. They are honest and I trust them. Mario also designs and makes custom jewelry. I highly recommend.

They did a wonderful job, on sizing a ring I inherited from my Aunt, that had no commercial value, but overwhelming sentimental value to me. They did a beautiful job and treated my request with the utmost respect. I would certainly recommend them to everyone.

Mario is simply amazing and his work is exactly as he said it would be. This is a great place to reset or buy jewelry. You will not be disappointed by his work. The shop and his family are a delight to work with, you will be happy you went there!

Amazing craftsmanship. Mario and Sandy are very welcoming and a pleasure to work with. Everything promised and committed to was delivered on time and very professionally. Prices were discussed before work began and were maintained, even with some extras Mario did. Communication was awesome. Once the ring was ready a call was received, we went to pick it up and it was BEAUTIFUL! Highly recommend.

My husband got to collaborate with the owner Mario to design my wedding ring/engagement set and I cannot say enough great things! Mario helped guide my husband to design rings that combined all elements of what I wanted in my set. I love wearing them, I always get an abundance of compliments from random strangers. The owner is also very sweet, communicating with him when I get my rings cleaned is always a pleasure. You can tell he is truly passionate about his craft, and it shows in his work!

Highly recommend this jeweler. I needed a custom ring fast and they were able to design the ring and fabricate it faster than all the other jewelers I contacted. Great prices for a great selection of diamonds. All sizes, clarities, anything you need.

I used Mario to redesign my mothers watch from the sixties. We collaborated on every detail and he was so open and excited to bring my vision to real life. He wanted me to be involved in every detail and I so appreciated it that he would check with me before moving on at each step and if I wanted to make changes he was great about it. I absolutely love the way it turned out. It's beautiful and I get so many compliments on it. From now on I will use Mario for all my jewelry . I highly recommend Aprile Jewelers they are an absolute pleasure to work with.
