This is an outstanding jewelry store. The service is not only superb, but both Sam and Aida make you feel that you are important to them. Sam is knowledgeable about not just the extraordinary jewelry sold in their store, but about jewelry that you bring in for servicing or cleaning. He's helpful and truly trustworthy. I love Sausalito Jewelers and can't recommend it highly enough. Thanks Aida and Sam for all of your help and for your kindness. Cathy

I highly recommend Sausalito Jewelers ... my go-to jewelry store - not only because of their fine jewelry (they use only the finest quality diamonds, at affordable pricing, and they're happy to consider your budget), but because they truly care about their clientele, whether you've been a regular patron over the years, or you're a brand new visitor at the shop. Sam and Aida are all about making sure each client is happy with his or her selection, helping you find that special piece (a ring in my case) - and if you don't see it in the shop, they will custom build it for you. The care they provide doesn't stop when you leave the shop with your stunning piece of jewelry; it extends long afterward, as they assure you that if you need resizing, or anything, at any time, they are at your service. I'm impressed with their kindness, the skill, of their custom creation, the knowledge they shared with me, and their professionalism. Love the ring!

Sam and the team at Sausalito Jewelers were really patient and helpful in educating me, helping me find the right fit, and provided excellent service in resizing my ring. They have the skill snd all the equipment they need there to do the work, so they’re really fast and know what they’re talking about! They also have a beautiful selection. I can’t speak to how their prices compare to other stores in the area but I would highly recommend them for quality and service.

We purchased our wedding bands in Sausalito 43 years ago. Several years ago my husband lost his. We are now working with Sam and Aida to design a new one. We love their work and designs and can’t wait to see the end result! Of course while we were there I did bond with a Diamond solitaire necklace which followed me home! Their pieces are stunning and we love Sausalito Jewelers.

Sam and the crew at Sausalito Jewelers are the best! Every time we come here we receive first class attention and care! The quality of choices are amazing, but our favorites are always the ones that Sam makes himself. Paolo made sure that my wife’s ring was sized perfectly before completing his work. We always go to Sausalito jewelers whenever we’re in San Francisco area!

We can’t say enough good things about Sausalito Jewelers! My Fiancée & I both had our rings sized here after we got engaged and thank goodness we did! They are so kind, informative and took great care in explaining the process. We just adore them. As someone who didn’t know anything about the process before getting engaged, Sam made us feel right at home, comfortable to ask questions and really cared for. I have come back several more times for different things because I trust them, plain and simple.Paolo is an incredibly talented Jeweler and it is really interesting to learn and hear his thoughts on the process.Plus, they are located on Princess Street - what woman doesn’t love having a Jeweler on Princess Street!?Respected in the community, very talented and down to earth, warm people.

My wife and I have had a wonderful experience in working with Sam and his assistants at Sausalito Jewelry! Every step of the way has been most comfortable and enjoyable. We were paid close attention to without any pressure so that we were able to choose the exact diamond engagement ring with a setting with a design that my wife actually found and gave to Sam. We actually bought two engagement rings. After a few years we decided to increase the size and Sam found us the 2nd diamond that was absolutely perfect! We also selected an "Eternity" gold wedding band with tiny diamonds surrounding the ring. Additionally, I bought my gold wedding band here and love it, as well. We couldn't be happier than choosing Sausalito Jewelry for our engagement and wedding.

I have been coming to Sausalito Jewelers for many years. Sam and his staff are true artists, always willing to take the time to find exactly the right piece of jewelry for each occasion.My last visit was to replace my wife's wedding ring, which she lost on vacation. The original ring was a hand-made one of a kind design. Sam was able to find a photograph of the ring that he had taken of it when it was repaired a few years ago. Working with his designers, he was able to duplicate the original design and craft a replacement. I could not have been more pleased with the results. He truly worked magic on this.Having myself been in the jewelry business many years ago, I appreciate what goes into making a successful jeweler - someone who listens to a customer and matches a piece of jewelry to the customer's desires. No one does it as well as Sam. And there is no place I would go to with a jewelry need than Sausalito Jewelers.

My wife and I have been coming to Sausalito Jewelers for almost 20 years. Sometimes it’s for a birthday or anniversary, sometimes it’s for no reason at all. But we always leave with jewelry that is exquisite!You won’t find the same tired jewelry that fills the chains and mall stores. Sam, the owner, travels from the mountains of Spain to the islands of Japan to find gorgeous creations of skilled artisans. Importantly, he also knows the De Beers Diamond people at the source in Africa; he’ll help you find the perfect diamond. And the jewelry is affordable.But the best designer is right there in Sausalito: Sam himself. He has the aesthetic eye and the skilled hands to turn your dream into a dazzling, life-long treasure, unique to you. We were in the store when a groom-to-be picked up the engagement ring Sam had crafted for his fiancé. The look on the groom’s face was priceless awe. I just wished we could have seen the look on HER face!Over the years, we’ve had multiple pieces created in collaboration with Sam. We’ve brought in Grandma’s old, outdated jewelry and had Sam reconfigure them into beautiful contemporary pieces. These pieces had just been sitting in a drawer; now we will think of Grandma every time they are worn.Check it out!

We recently finished a custom ring design with Aida, Sam, and Paolo at Sausalito Jewelers. The three of them are true professionals and incredible people - they combine detail orientedness, passion for design, and an excitement in custom projects I can't imagine finding anywhere else. We came in with an idea of a custom design, and left with something far better than we went in with and even beyond what we expected. Iterating through the design process was both enjoyable and easy. Sam and Aida provided CAD files for me to review on my own to mark-up and send back ideas. And physically, we went through a number of 3D printed plastic models for us to compare different designs before committing to the final ring mold. When the ring reached this final stage, it was incredible to get to meet and hear from Paolo (Italian master jeweler). Getting to be a part of this ring's design and physical creation were incredibly special to us. We really can't imagine doing a custom piece of jeweler anywhere else. And we look forward to being back and sending many of our friends to Sam, Aida, and Paolo in the future. Cheers to them!

Sausalito Jewelers exceeded our expectations in every way. My fiancée and I went ring shopping here and Aida was the one who helped us look at rings. She was incredibly helpful and friendly, taking detailed notes and asking all the questions I did not know about. I also got to meet Sam, the owner, who gave me a tour of the ring studio and explained the process of making the ring. You can tell he is extremely passionate about his work and it shows in the quality of the product. Lastly, I also had pleasure of meeting Paolo, the jeweler, who worked hard to get the ring done on time. I requested to have my ring expedited because we were in a time crunch and they worked around the clock to get it done in around 1.5 weeks (typically takes 3-4). I highly recommend Sausalito Jewelers to anyone looking for an engagement ring or any piece of jewelry. My fiancé was blown away with the ring as it was all custom made and exactly what she wanted. Hands down the best ring shop I visited and will go back for any other jewelry needs going forward.

Came into Sausalito Jewelers looking for someone to polish an older ring... little did I know we'd be walking out with my dream engagement ring! Sam is so kind and so knowledgeable about his industry. He explained all of the unique details about my ring, which made us fall in love with it even more. Not only did the original ring I sent in for polishing come out looking brand new, they sized the engagement ring on the spot, and had it shining brilliantly before we left with it. Truly an incredible experience buying from Sausalito Jewelers. We'll be returning customers for years to come.

What a perfectly lovely experience! I took a ring in for repairs and sizingNot only was the work exceptional, but the customer service was really terrific. Sam shared his processes with me so I understood all facets (no pun intended) of the work he was doing.I wasn’t sure what to expect with pricing, so I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable it was.Seriously, beautiful thing’s available and wonderful repair work. Go meet them!

Sausalito Jewelers are amazing! The center diamond in my ring came off, and they were able to completely repair it, and now it looks better than when I got it 20 years ago! Their prices are fair and they have the best tools/technology in the Bay Area and their selection of diamonds and jewelry is second to none. Whether you need a beautiful ring, a cleaning or repair, there is NO better place to go than Sausalito Jewelers!!

I met Sam through a friend wanting to have a piece of jewelry repaired. He explained to her with incredible patience what could and could not be done. Sam helped her design a new ring with other gems and gold she had. That ring is fabulous!I then took another friend over with pieces of jewelry, one of which had to be redesigned for sizing and another piece that was completely redesigned. Again, Sam was so patient with us both and so generous with his time explaining how the piece would look and feel, once we came to a consensus. That ring turned out better than either of us could ever even imagine. It is so unique and so perfectly designed for her.He has an amazing eye for design, remaking a piece to reflect the person wearing the jewelry.I have also bought a couple of his pieces as gifts that are perfect for each of the young women for whom they were bought. I described the two 30-year-olds to Sam and showed him pictures and he knew exactly what they would love.I have a lose stone that I am going to take to him so he can work his magic, once I decide whether I want a ring or a pendant.To top it all off, Sam is so good at staying in touch, letting you know where he is in the process and when you might expect to receive you new piece.I highly recommend Sausalito Jewelers for their integrity and their artistry.Debra from the East Bay
