Review №1

I sincerely regret taking my business to Ara Karkazian Jewelry. Months after waiting, phone calls that were promised that were never placed, and jewelry that was only worked on after I placed a call to check on the status, came out so poor. I showed utmost patience and walked away unhappy. My necklace is asymmetric- a sure sign that it was rushed. Instead of voicing my unhappiness, I chose to pay and leave as I’m unwilling to be forgotten about for another three weeks. I’m very unimpressed with the customer service, false promises made by front counter staff, and their apparent inability to provide me with a proper invoice of services rendered. 10 of 10 disappointed.

There enough amazing things to say about Ara Karkazian!My wife and I went in to look at some wedding bands but didnt find anything that matched what we were looking for. Luckily, Karkazian Jewelers specialize in making custom jewelry! We were able to get a mold made that matched our existing engagement band perfectly, to be intricately designed and created in store.The level of service and attention to detail is above all else. I couldnt imagine going to any other jeweler to make our big day that much more amazing.What a dream come true.

Niery and Lena were so helpful. They helped me pick the perfect ring for my fiancé. Their prices were more than fair. I would recommend. 10/10

A beautiful experience. Everyone was amazingly friendly. I just came in to have a watch band adjusted, and they treated me like royalty. Did the job quickly, for much less than I thought it would cost. The store is well laid out with amazing selections. I will definitely be back.

Remarkable jewelry store. They can do anything. My Rolex watches are returned in flawless condition after every cleaning or maintenance requirement. Low this store!!!

Ara Karkazian Watch & Jewelry Company is known for being the Central Valley’s Engagement Ring Headquarters in the valley. I have known Ara for over 15 years and his knowledge of diamonds, gems, and watches is beyond an expert. If youre looking for jewelry I strongly recommend you contact Ara for your needs.

Back in October of 2019 I had spent a year looking at engagement rings with my soon to be fiancee. We had visited almost every jewelry store you can think of in Fresno/Clovis, and even some as far as LA and SF. We couldnt find exactly what we wanted. A friend recommended Ara, and he was a God send! He was insanely helpful, took his time with me designing and adjusting the design until I thought it was perfect. My fiancee loved it and we are getting married November 7th of this year. With so much stress of planning a wedding during Covid, Im glad that working with Ara ensured that my ring selection process went fantastic. My Dad Is also purchasing a ring from Ara today to celebrate my Mom and His 40th year anniversary this weekend. I wouldnt send him anywhere else. I look forward to many more years of doing business with Ara. I couldnt recommend anyone more. Thank you Ara Karkazian and youre extremely helpful staff!

We took my diamond bands in to get them resized before our wedding. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and was thankful to find a competent jeweler who does the work on site. My only disappointment is that after reading many online reviews about the friendly staff, my experience at drop off and pick up was very different. Both times the ladies helping me made me feel like I was bothering them rather than bringing them business. Not sure if I’ll return, but if I do, I hope the service is better.

This is the best Jeweler in the Central Valley! Ara will go out of his way to spend time with you. Whether picking out a gift, engagement ring or wedding sets, to customized jewelry, watches and repairs - hes the only one we go to. He has done some amazing work redesigning outdated jewelry for me and is currently resizing a piece . I just picked out a watch for my husband for Christmas and Lena was a huge help! Thanks Ara!!!

Great staff!! I had a watch which they replaced the battery a few weeks back. Then, it stopped working again (may have been the watch and not a battery issue). Without a question, they offered me a refund. Instead, I used it as a credit to repair another watch and on top of it, they gave me another new battery for my first watch, all this without charging me a dime. Zohrab and the lady at the counter were beyond Nice and Helpful!!!

I left Fresno in 2014 and now live in Chicago. What I miss most about California? It was stopping by Karkazian Jewelers and the staff there. I purchased many watches over the years here- from Citizens and Seikos to Rolexes and even a custom made watch.Fresno, you are blessed to have this business. Its a family- owned business; the kind of business that gives me a sense of pride in our country and my personal history.Even I live in Chicago now, when I need a watch repaired or serviced, I send it to Karkazian’s. They have earned my respect and loyalty

So dropped off my ring Friday, April 12, 2019, with an intended (meaning I was told it would be available for pickup date of Friday, April 19 ~ one week later)... The ring was getting cleaned with a leaf needing to be sautered on.. black hills gold ... I fully informed how excited I was, as was getting married the next day 4/20/2019.. Most people def say dont ever leave it to such short notice, but no, I relied on this place.... What I wasnt soooo mad at is that I arrive at approx. 1:45 p.m. on Friday, April 19, 2019, and it wasnt ready, but that the girl in the black wig (truly sorry if offended) couldnt be more of one of those faces that DONT GIVE AF... like.. I get you dont care... but wow, legit she wore that I DONT GIVE AF face pretty well and made me feel stupid... I had to drive from Hanford, twice and she couldnt care less.. just thought it was all rude and will def never go back.. by the way, ring was still being worked on when I arrived, and still needs to be finished cause its not even sautered all the way .. Pretty disappointed.. especially for the average joe..
