I started attending Benlolo jewelry studio in the very beginning of 2019. At that time I had some basic jewelry techniques under my belt. Upon starting the class David was easy to approach and speak with. His knowledge is extremely comprehensive and because of that I was able to grow exponentially. That being said I was committed in growing and learning new ideas and David Benlolo has techniques and enough experience that I couldn’t even learn it all if I wanted to. My point is that David can easily work with many kinds of projects and also can work with students on any level whether it’s a beginner or you’re ready to open a shop. David lends a full spectrum ofjewelry techniques which put me on a whole other level. David has pushed me to grow and build within me a very solid foundation and because of that I continue to grow today. Thank you very much for everything David.Jason W. Benlolo Jewelry student

An excellent studio for anyone looking to create a new hobby or side business. David and co. are really amazing and welcoming. David’s skill set and experience is excellent but so is his ability to meet you where you are and teach you. Highly recommend!

I LOVE this studio!! Been coming since May. My instructor (Collette) is super nice, kind, and supportive. Starting her classes has been one of the best decisions I've made in my life. The studio is clean and very well-maintained with professional tools and individual stations.This is the second piece I made: a heart-shaped locket pendant inspired by an ancient Roman fresco. I still have so much to learn & am looking forward to every class!!

I have studied jewelry making for many years and the Benlolo Jewelry Studio is outstanding. The studio is well appointed and the atmosphere is creative and congenial. David Benlolo is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. He always has a solution to any problem that may arise during the execution of your original design.

Absolutely amazing studio, with wonderful people. David and Tomomi are knowledgeable and great teachers. I highly recommend their classes, or if you’re not a jeweler, try commissioning a piece!

David is a master jeweler. His attention to detail, perfectionism and professionalism is unparalleled. My fiancé and I had my engagement ring and our wedding rings made by him and were so in awe of how stunning they turned out.

David did my wife's engagement ring -- she wanted a unique design, so I brought him the stones, described what we wanted, and left the rest to him. He did outstanding work -- he made exactly what we were looking for. We went back for the wedding band and he did a great job with that, too (even though the design was a little tricky). Also, I did a bit of footwork before choosing a studio, and David's prices were the lowest that I found. I found him easy to work with and excellent at what he does -- I would definitely choose him again.

The Benlolo Studio has great and welcoming learning atmosphere. Before I met David I had some jewelry production experience but I hadn't had a chance to make pieces with my own design. David led me to the next level and helped me to build confidence in myself. Every time when I went to class I learned not only jewelry techniques but also about gemstones. I had so much fun learning about stones and actually seeing them! Since each student works on his/her own piece you can also learn something new from them. David understands some Japanese which is my first language I could learn even more comfortably. I highly recommend!

I've been a visual artist my whole life, but was new to jewelry design. David's expertise continuously amazes me. His knowledge seems endless and there's simply nothing he can not craft when it comes to jewelry making. He's an excellent teacher!
