I've been coming to Leo Hamel for jewelry and watches for 30 years. Lisa has sold me three watches, several cufflinks and special gifts. The watches are the highest quality and the repair shop there is the very best. Can't say enough. For three decades they have been there for all my watch and jewelry needs. Quality creates repeat customers. Thank you Lisa Lester

I called 4 times in a row (literally), was connected with someone each time, and each time the call failed. I made 3 other calls immediately afterwards (including another business) - fully connected, no issues - so it's not my phone that isn't working. I visit in person anyway because I need a necklace repaired. It's the only "jeweler" open on a Saturday nearby, and I was hoping it'd be a quick in and out. They spent a few seconds with a magnifying glass trying to determine the metal(?). I was told they can't fix it because it's not gold or silver and would crumble under heat. I fully acknowledge it's a cheap necklace but it's of significant sentimental value and it's a simple fix: the chain is broken and needs a set of pliers and a ring to connect it. Long story short - they're nice (hence 2 stars instead of 1), but their phones don't work and they're just a sales front, not an actual jeweler.

Overall a 10/10 everything was amazing! Went in there to just look at engagement rings and to see different place and as soon as I talk to Taylor I knew I would find what I need. She was great very very helpful at all times. Always trying to find exactly what you want. Amazing customer service will be going back to but the wedding bands. 100 percent recommend, ask for Taylor!

Partner suggested this place after researching a few places in SD. Happy we found this place! Bianca and Danica helped us pick out a few rings and a watch. Both were extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process. They were also very professional entertaining all our questions. Prices were extremely competitive and their selection was large. After a few visits, we were able to center on exactly what we wanted. They were also willing and able to bring in samples to try on for anything we had an interest in. They made the whole process enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend this place and will be back again in the future.

We always have such a great experience at Leo's! Lisa, Lonnie & the rest of the team are so friendly and extremely helpful every time I go in. They make the buying experience so easy and so relax. We love it and will continue to go there for our jewelry needs.

My late wife and I have gone to Leo Hamel's for countless years, and not only have we always found their prices to be a great value compared to other jewelers, but the service has always been extraordinary. No hard selling, no "Sorry I can't help you", simply people who are great listeners, who have always provided my wife and I with countless options, and then allowed us to decide what we feel is best for us.The reason I am leaving this review is I popped in to buy a silver cross today in memory of my wife, and I was helped by a young gal named Taylor. I had been self-employed my entire life, and I recently sold our business, but if I was still in business, I would be doing everything I could to hire this gal because she has the hallmarks of what I call the "Superstars." She was personable, displayed the right attitude, was incredibly knowledgeable, and it was easy to see she has the ethics I look for in people.As long as I live in San Diego, and they employ people like Taylor, they'll have a customer for life in me.

Working with Taylor and Bianca was just outstanding! My wife and I were able to bring in our old jewelry to get repaired, and we were able to walk out with a new engagement ring we always wanted after 17 years of marriage. Great people, great prices and amazing experience!!! THANK YOU!!!

Logan was an absolute blessing in assisting me in finding an engagement ring. I would come back for the experience alone. Also she helped me remain within my budget and still get my soon to be fiancée a ring I know she’ll love! Thank you Logan!

My Rolex Yacht Master had stopped keeping time, it’s about 15 years old so I figured it was probably time for service. I called a few places, but Leo Hamels quick response in answering my questions over the phone sold me on going in. At the store I was met with Shane. He was real knowledgeable and gave me clear expectations on how long it would take to get an estimate and the time it would take to perform the proper service that it needed. He told me that it would look as good as new when I picked it up. I really didn’t expect to see much of a difference, but upon picking it up I was so surprised on how clean clean it looked! I highly recommend them. The gave me a detailed invoice of what was performed and it was all done in a timely manner.

We have bought jewelry and watches from Leo Hamel for over 20 years. Lisa Hamel is one of the most amazing human beings I have ever done business with. I will always return to get her advice, buy new watches and service our existing watches and jewelry. She now works with our son. She truly cares for her clients. Lisa understands her clients needs and is extremely patient helping you find what you need on your own budget. She is not pushy. We highly suggest Leo Hamel and Lisa. The BEST of BEST. An outstanding small family business in San Diego.

My now fiancé took me to Leo Hamel’s Fine Jewelry in Mission hills to take a look at what they offered. We were so pleasantly surprised by the variety of quality options in store that were affordable given the state of economy. Lisa helped us find what now became my engagement ring. That day will forever be a special day. We felt like family thanks to Lisa. The cherry on top was Mr. Leo Hamel himself happened to be in store during our visit and introduced himself while congratulating us with a glasses of champagne to welcome us. It’s a rare find to feel welcomed, appreciated and simply said, we felt like family. That means the world to me growing up in a family own business myself. Thank you to Leo, Lisa and the whole Leo Hamel family/team. Since then, we visit Lisa with our family and friends whenever we are looking for that special gift. #onehappyfuturewife?

Lisa and her team were so helpful and simply the best. We got our wedding bands from them and the attention to customer service is impeccable. I was indecisive about the thickness of my band and Lisa ordered all 3 so I could try them out. We are definitely coming back, they are the best!
