Excellent store with great staff. I've purchased multiple custom pieces from them and I've even been disappointed. Very pleasant overall experience and excellent jewelry!

I was looking for someone to re-set an emerald from an old setting my aunt had given me, that didn't suit me. I found this store through some great reviews. They showed me settings that they could order to fit the stone, and we found one that was perfectly my style, in my budget. I just got the ring back, and it glows, sparkles, and shines! It's a perfect fit, too. Gorgeous work, and an heirloom ring I'll wear regularly now!

Superb service, beautiful merchandise. They were amazingly helpful when I lost my wedding rings, and they ensured that they were replaced with the exact same items (through insurance).

Appelblom Jewelry has a great selection of jewelry and did a great job of resizing my engagement ring. I came across the shop after eating at a restaurant just a few doors down on a Wednesday afternoon. Ducking into the shop to take a peek, I fell in love with a watermelon tourmaline ring set in an east-west in 14k yellow gold. Atif helped me with checkout and was patiently answered any questions about the materials & sourcing of the tourmaline. I also returned to the shop a few weeks later to resize my engagement ring. After measuring my fingers and looking at my hand, Zariah and Emma ended up recommending sizing beads for the band instead of sizing down since my knuckles were larger & the beads would keep the ring from turning because of the larger center stone. I got my resized ring back after 8 days and ended up loving the modifications. The sizing beads were comfortable additions and they will also be more forgiving on my fingers with age/life changes.

I needed a ring resized and noticed Appelblom while I was dining in San Mateo. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I waited a bit since there was someone being helped and saw they have a very nice selection of jewelry. Once it was my turn they quickly took a look at my ring and measured my finger for the new size. Even though they said it would be a couple of weeks, I got a call within a few days that my ring was ready. I was very happy with the new size and it looked so shiny and new. I hardly shop for jewelry, but if you need a place to shop or to service your existing pieces, this is a very trustworthy place to go.

I went to Appelblom for an engagement ring after being dissatisfied with the customer service at several other jewelry stores. Right away Appelblom was different. Whereas other places felt impersonal, Appleblom was comfortable and warm in a way that felt appropriate for such a personal and intimate purchase . Emma worked with me to find options for diamonds and rings within my budget and then to expedite things to meet my timeline. She found rings and diamonds to match the style I was looking for and then when we couldn't find exactly what I wanted she helped me design the exact custom ring I wanted. She was able to turn my vague descriptions of a ring I had in my head into the creation of the actual physical ring I was looking for! Trust Appelblom!

There are no words to describe how grateful I am to Fiona, Atif, and the Appelblom team. They helped me recreate an incredibly meaningful and intricate ring. We started the process with just a picture and they helped bring that picture into a reality. They were so communicative, detail oriented, and helpful throughout the process. I am so glad I entrusted Appelblom with helping me recreate such a special piece.

Found Appelblom on Yelp after a tepid experience engagement ring shopping with Brilliant Earth. The comparison was night and day. Emma worked with me to find the perfect band & ring. She helped to guide me over three or four visits, narrowing down the diamond selection--even ordering a few extra ahead of my final visit just for added comparison. Her support and guidance was invaluable, and my wife was thrilled with the result. When it was time for wedding bands, Rafi assisted us picking out rings that both matched, and felt like uniquely ours. The attention to detail, professionalism, and customer service cannot be overstated.

My jeweler died and his successor retired - so I needed a new jeweler to maintain my platinum wedding bands - recirculatize them (lol - platinum is malleable - get it caught on something and it is less than circular) and polish them. Appleblom came highly recommended through a local FB group. I brought my three rings in for polish and for the 10 year ring to have the middle diamond recentered. I was quoted $190. Turnaround was quick - 4 days - great, becasue after 26 years and 16 years, I feel weird without them. The rings were polished beautifully, and once again perfectly circular. However, the 10 year ring did not have the center diamond centered. I asked if they forgot or if there was a reason why they did not do the repair. The woman, while very nice, did not have an answer for me. She guessed that because it was a pressure setting, they didn't want to do anything to it - perhaps since they hadn't designed it? She suggested I get the ring redesigned/remade. She didn't call the people she had sent it out to, she simply guessed as to why they didn't center it. This lack of communication was very disappointing to me. My previous jeweler always polished and recircularized my rings while I waited, and did it for free - an adjustment to the diamond, though it was only necessary once before, was also free - certainly becasue they were worked on at the place they were designed. I didn't expect the work for free at Appelblom, but I did expect it to be performed. I'm still on the lookout for a new jeweler. What a disappointment.

We needed to get my wife's wedding resized and we were a little nervous about finding the right place. We ended up walking into Appelblom on a Saturday. The following Friday her ring was done and it turned out perfect. We resized a platinum ring from a size 5 to a 7 and it looked just like the day I bought it. Great service!

This is the best jewelry store ever! I had gone to a well-known Peninsula jeweler to get my ring fixed, and they gave me a price that was astronomical. So I thought I would try Appelblom Jewelry. So glad I did! They fixed my ring for nearly half the price of the other store, did a beautiful job, and are now helping me design a custom ring. Note: they did NOT try to sell me the custom ring; I just fell in love with a stone in one of their beautiful settings and that got me thinking. Everyone is soooo welcoming and fun to work with. This is my jewelry store for life!

I had a very old necklace that needed a new clasp and they fixed it on the spot for a very small fee. It's a lovely store and everyone there was very friendly.I'll be back!

I had the pleasure of working with Fiona to design a custom engagement ring and she made the process so easy! I was nervous about the whole thing but she helped guide me and it was such a smooth transaction. Very much recommend going to see Fiona for an engagement ring or wedding bands!

This was my second engagement store stop. My pregnant best friend and I had the pleasure in speaking with the owner Fiona. She answered all the questions we had about platinum vs. White Gold band. I love how the diamonds had a magnet that I could try onto different ring bands.What amazed me was that not only did i feel comfortable around her so did my best friend as she talked about kids with her which was nice that it wasn't all about me since as she's my bff :) Fiona also told us her back story to how she started working at the jewelry store. She is super easy to talk with that I didn't feel pressured into anything

I had my engagement ring sized down 3 sizes with Appelbom & I am really glad I went to them. My ring looks better than when it was bought! Raphny was so quick to help & also suggest some new wedding band options since I never got to purchase one I truly loved. This is a work in progress until we find the right one but I appreciate her efforts this far.
