I am a jeweler so I'd like to attest that karenna has high quality material and wares for purchase that is at a FAIR price and even a much LOWER price than you'd find at most stores of its kind. I was struck by her attitude of making beautiful gems and metals available to average people who want something romantic for a wedding or commitment, without ripping people off in the slightest. I would never shop anywhere else for materials or gems and she offers great advice and even the opportunity to work on some of it yourself with her supervision. very special place I traveled from salt lake city to work with her. This kind of establishment is hard to find.

Karenna is the best! I took a jewelry making class series here and it was fun, so I asked Karenna for a workshop to make our wedding bands. She went above and beyond, acquiring special equipment for us because we wanted to use platinum. She was so patient, skilled, and helpful, and she made sure we were happy with the final product. She even said we could come back if we needed anything tweaked. We both enjoyed the workshop and are excited to wear our rings.

I brought some of my inherited jewelry for repairs (closings, re- attaching a broken chain and a few more) and Kareena did a great job repairing them very quickly and efficiently. I absolutely recommend her, she is very knowledgeable, experienced and nice!

Karenna’s highly skilled craftsmanship impressed my friends and I. She gives exceptional attention to detail, and her knowledge of jewelry restoration and repair is hands down the best I’ve seen. If you need any metal services, she is the one to contact. Thank you Karenna!

Highly recommend! Walked in on a Saturday to replace a watch battery before a work trip. Other places nearby were only able to do it in a few days but Karenna was SO kind and replaced it in 5 minutes (even set the time for me!) ? Amazing prices and wonderful person. Thanks for saving the day, Karenna!

If you're reading the reviews, seeing everything give overwhelmingly positive feedback, and thinking that this looks too good to be true, I promise -- please reach out to Karenna right now and you will not be disappointed.Last spring, I was going for one of the most stressful selections - an engagement ring. In an attempt to avoid big corporations selling cookie-cutter boring rings, I wanted to work with somebody who will truly care and be a partner in this search, rather than an adversary who is just trying to upsell you on things you don't need.That day, I truly won the lottery by sending an email to Karenna. I have never seen somebody take so much care and ownership for the project -- the second Karenna got some details about what I was looking for, I was getting suggestions and options as she continuously kept looking for just the right design and just the right stone.It took us a few weeks to work out the details, and I was given all the tradeoffs and considerations when asked to make a decision on specific details - she was making suggestions on things not because "that's how it's done" or just pushing me to the higher price options, but, instead, explaining what I'd get by picking this over that and vice versa.In the end, Karenna built us an incredible unique ring that I was unbelievably excited to give to my now-fiancée this summer.Highly highly recommend, and we'll be back for all of our jewerly needs in the future!P.S. we have also brought a couple of side-projects for jewerly cleaning and repair as well as a ring resize (a different one), and the experience was just as perfect. Her customer focus is really, really noticable.

The owner of the shop is so nice and helpful. She got us the wedding bands within a very tight timeline and also make the ring size exchange process so easy. I’d highly recommend this place for your jewelry shop!

I worked with Karenna to design a custom engagement ring using family heirloom stones.Karenna was fantastic. The process felt truly collaborative, working together to hone a design that my fiancé will love, and turned it into reality.

I had done research for a couple weeks - I reached out to multiple online jewelers and had an idea in mind. With all my interactions, it was not intimate and details seemed lost in translation. After waiting for replies, I decided to go local.After a short conversation with Kareena and talking strategy of what I should narrow down first (the cut of stone) we can work together to get a design. She even recommended good places for gems (I love Montana Sapphires).Once I picked out a gem, I worked for two weeks with back and forth emails and multiple face to face interactions to discuss designs. Kareena heard my thoughts would be encouraging taking my ideas and dream to heart. And in other situations gave her best advice in steering me away from bad designs (I thought much fewer accent diamonds would be better).Overall I left with the ring I hoped to design and a perfect sized; perfectly excuted ring design for our engagement.

I was on the hunt to find a trusted jeweler who could engrave a watch for my fiance that I plan to give him on our wedding day. Karenna provided excellent service to not only ensure the watch would be ready on time, but also did a beautiful job. I know my fiance will be so surprised and having the engraving will be so meaningful for years to come. I would highly recommend Karenna for any custom engraving. She was friendly, fast and very professional. Thank you, Karenna!

Very quick and responsive to email inquiry, and she did a wonderful job resizing my engagement ring (and quickly!). Excellent all around!

Store is cute but store owner isn't very friendly. Walked in and she didn't greet me right away. When she did ask if I needed help, tone was pretty cold. Overall just didn't get a very friendly or welcoming vibe from her and decided to leave pretty quickly. Wanted to support a local Belmont business but wish the service level was higher quality.

A much overdue review and thank you! My husband and I really wanted to make our own wedding bands (not just pick them out, but actually physically make them). After a lot of searching we found Karenna who was happy to work with us and we were thrilled with the results!Karenna was a great teacher and guided us but really let us do the work ourselves! We had a lot of fun and the cost was beyond reasonable. I highly recommend working with Karenna Maraj, either to purchase one of her beautiful pieces or to participate in a jewelry making workshop!

Karenna is awesome!! She has a lot of patience and worked with me to create my engagement ring and wedding band. She tried her best to find the stone that I wanted (apparently the garnet I wanted is unique), but we couldn't find it. I ended up with a different stone but she made the ring just as I envisioned it. She also helped me pick out a design. We came into the process not knowing much, and Karenna patiently guided us through the process. She made sure that we were happy customers. I highly recommend Karenna!
