Had a diamond ring resized. The gold band is dented. And, the original Diamond is missing!I had it certified before I took it to this small time Pawn Shop with lights and mirrors. The creepy man who works there is a Cook who belongs in Jail.I smell a lawsuit. I would strongly suggest to stay away from these thieves and crooks..

Went to The Jewelry Box to sell over an oz of 14k gold rings. Their offer was almost $300 less than what I was able to sell at another buyer. Seller beware!!!

First visit to a wonderful adventure in all levels of jewelry. Incredible estate pieces as well as fine, beautifully designed pieces. Everything unique. I love being a one of a kind girl and this was my place. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Entire visit very successful and joyous. Also brought in envelope of mismatched, broken, too small pieces of old jewelry and they bought it in bulk by weight. Lucrative.... helped toward purchasing a new treasure.

What a great jewelry store! They have something for everyone at great prices. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Maya was very kind and helpful. She was also patient and not at all pushy. I highly recommend this jewelry store for any of your jewelry wants and needs, including repairs.

This was my first time using The Jewelry Box to replace some missing tiny diamonds and service my wedding ring. I found Dede to be knowledgeable and appreciated that she was not trying to upsell me on other things. I asked her if she thought my eternity wedding band should also be “dipped” and she suggested that it would be a waste of money. My ring was done a day earlier than predicted and looks gorgeous and sparkly again. I will definitely be back for my future servicing.

My wife and I absolutely love this place. The staff is top notch, making us feel like family. The attentiveness and sincerity we receive when shopping is on par with no store my wife and I have ever shopped at before. Not a surprise theyve been voted Best in Orange County so many times.

Maya helped me today and I was able to purchase a new mounting for my ring which happened to be on sale. Aldo, repairs I brought in were right on time as promised. I will be visiting often to see what new things and sales they have. Very professional and friendly service! Highly recommend them.

I brought in some old diamonds with an idea of what I wanted to make. Deedee helped me pick out the perfect setting and the necklace looks even better than I could have imagined. Thank you for your guidance and expertise. I’m thrilled.

As always there was a lot to enjoy browsing and hard to choose among the new and previously enjoyed. With Rhondas help I chose a beautiful emerald and diamond pendant as well as the smoke topaz ring Ive been looking for. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. The Jewelry Box is an asset for jewelry customers and the community that it supports.

Everything about my experience at the jewelry box on Lake Forest Drive was wonderful. From the conversation when I took my repair in, to the execution and the time frame and the reasonableness of the cost of the repair, coupled with the quality of the work done on the repair, was exemplary. A few months ago I was in a position where I needed a platinum ring to be repaired, and I made the mistake of going to a different Jeweler. Not only was the work substandard but the cost was substantially higher. I will never make that mistake again. From now on, the jewelry box will always be my first Port of Call.

I love, love, love everything about The Jewelry Box! Their selection of unique jewelry (especially Previously Enjoyed!), their great prices and most importantly the exceptional staff! They are a place you can trust completely with all of your jewelry needs! I won’t shop anywhere else for jewelry; they are simply the BEST!!

I’ve lived in Lake Forest my entire life. Jewelry Box has been in Lake Forest for as long as I remember. I first went in there when my daughter was a freshman at ETHS and I was in charge of the school calendar. The Jewelry Box always gives back to the community, always. I worked with them for a couple years and was always treated really great. I started going in there for my jewelry fixes when I needed them and again was always welcomed when I walked in and helped.Today was a very special day as I was able to bless my mom with a small token from my heart. Every employee in there has an amazing heart. They really do want to help you find that perfect gift without trying to sell you their highest priced item. They rejoice with you or hear your sadness. I walked out of there with a big hug, smile and thankfulness.

Review №25

Love the earrings I bought, but they were overpriced for resale. These earrings are $150 retail at Tiffany’s and here they were $138 which is less than 10% off retail. I’ve bought numerous Tiffany pieces at this store and the prices in the past have always been at least 20% - 30% or more, off retail Tiffany prices. Of course I will still shop here because generally their prices are excellent, and the staff is great!

They are always friendly and courteous whenever I go in. For the most part, all I need are battery replacements for my watches which they do quickly and for a very reasonable price. I have purchased some jewelry from them in the past and they are very helpful and polite. I highly recommend them!

My fiance had his work cut out for him when choosing an engagement ring! I wanted an amethyst stone with an antique setting in yellow gold. One of my first questions after saying yes was where in the world did you find this perfect ring!?! He said that when he first came across this shop, they didnt have the ring I wanted. However, that didnt stop them. They listened to everything we needed and within a week they called him saying that they had found our dream engagement ring!! It may not look like much to some but this little beauty has it all!! 1930s setting with our shared birthstone! Fast forward 9 months and I got to meet this incredible team myself. Unfortunately my ring broke and I had to come in and get it fixed. The jewelry box is like a little family. I felt so welcomed as all us women twittered on about my upcoming wedding, the royal wedding and all sorts of girly banter. You can tell that this group of ladies really love what they do and care so much about their customers experience. While I was there, two different regulars came in and out all while singing their praises of this store. What a hidden gem!! I ended up walking away confident that my dream ring would be fixed and purchasing my fiances wedding ring as well. We will be customers for life!!

My fiancé James and I had been looking for wedding bands (for him) for a couple weeks. James knew the kind of ring he wanted, so we thought we would try out the Jewelry Box to see their inventory. Once we walked in, Mary Ann (or Mar) warmly welcomed us into the store. She was SO incredibly helpful in choosing the perfect ring for James. She was so sweet, patient and fun. We couldn’t have gone to a better store with such great customer service. Thank you Jewlery Box for such a beautiful ring for him and such a great experience!

Review №39

I went to The Jewelry Box to get cash for some gold and then have some rings made and I could not possibly be happier with the service and quality of jewelry that I received!!!!!! Id considered going to the mart in L.A. and then decided that I wanted to keep the business local. Id had a few dealings with the Jewelry Box for repairs and small purchases in the past so I went to see them. This was a big transaction for me and I was very nervous about it because I dont know anything about jewelry other than how to wear it. I mostly dealt with Christine but pretty much everyone got involved in my project. They were truly interested and enthusiastic in their help and shared my desire for everything to be perfect!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!!!!!!!

Dont believe this limited time buy your jewelery. It is not true. Looks more like a rip off. Low balling you like you wouldnt believe. Try other places before falling for this. The heavy weight guy who does the bitting has a pretty bad attitude.

I went to The Jewelry Box for the first time on Tuesday to exchange 2 rings that I owned and they gave me a reasonable amount of money for them. Then while I was in the store I looked at the jewelry they have for sale. It is all so beautiful and they also carry a lot of unique piece. I purchased a gorgeous ring and had it sized. The price for the ring itself and the price to have it sized was extremely a reasonable price! It only took 2 days for them to size the ring. When I went there today to pick up my ring I fecdeci to look at jewelry again and I found another beautiful ring whichI am having sized, and I am so excited to go and pick it up when its ready. I highly recommend The Jewelry Box if you have any used jewelry that you would like to get some money for and I also highly recommend shopping at The Jewelry Box if you are interested in purchasing some new Jewelry. This place is definitely my new place to shop for new jewelry in the future. Go there, I promise you wont be disappointed at all!!!!!!

Just proposed to the love of my life, we came here to get her ring sized. Out of nowhere they decided to tell her that her ring was worth basically pennies. They ruined such a special moment for us, all because they didnt want to report to their insurance company that the ring was actually worth some money... Horrible service, I would honestly keep driving down the road to a shop that will treat you with respect instead of trying to mess with you personal life.

I came in the shop on a lunch break. I am from out of town. I was treated very well even when I said I was just browsing. I ended up buying a necklace and earrings. The lady that did the ring up asked about me and made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely come back to this store. Thank you Jewelry Box for a great lunch break. Emi Naimon

Very pleased with the design assistance received and work performed by the staff at the jewelry box. Ive brought them two projects so far, the first was a silver brooch, a gift for my mothers 80th birthday, needing a pinback installed, which was beautifully done and very reasonably priced. This positive experience convinced me they were the right place to work with personalizing a silver pendant I designed for my wife, which will be a 25th anniversary gift. I was fortunate to be able to work with their designer, Maya Orosco. She worked with me on design and pricing options for 2 variations using gems, and made excellent suggestions which I took, leading to a final product I am very pleased with. The jewelers did a superb job of mounting a ruby in the pendant, and the pricing for the quality of the stone and workmanship was an excellent value. Maya also referred me to an engraver, and recommended a beautiful chain for it, which I purchased. I am happy to recommend The Jewelry Box to anyone looking for jewelry or repairs, and especially Maya for custom pieces, she is a talented designer with wonderful taste. Pricing is excellent.

Im having trouble deciding whether the owner is xenophobic or sexist. I saw another gentleman walking out so I would venture to say its xenophobia (although he was much older and dressed very nicely, so maybe its ageism too).The first time I brought them the Omega Seamaster she told me it was fake because it had a skeleton back (which a large number of Seamasters have). I didnt have the paperwork and promised to return with all the necessary documentation. When I returned a few months later with everything, including the receipt, I was told that since it was purchased in China they wouldnt buy it. Had they read the receipt they would have known it was purchased in Tokyo, Japan at the authorized Omega store in the duty-free area of the Narita international airport. When I brought up that it was purchased at an authorized store they replied that they only buy watches originally purchased in the United States.So my question is, had the watch been purchased in Zurich, Switzerland (where they are made) or maybe Milan or Paris, would they have accepted that? I would venture to say yes since they are white European countries. Or maybe they believe the US is the only place that sells real Omegas. Its truly shameful that in South County, which has a very large Asian population, they wont consider purchasing an authentic product because its sold in Japan. The definition is xenophobia. Or maybe its because Im a young male with visible tattoos. Who knows.

Brought in a Tag Heuer for repair of a broken stem and crown. They said theyd need to order the part - ok. They called back and said that they had found an original crown and could complete the repair immediately. They flat out lied. Turns out that they simply soldered my broken crown back onto the stem. It broke the first time I tried to adjust the time/date. Soldering the crown to the stem also likely compromised the seals. I didnt pay much admittedly - should have suspected it was a shoddy job. Stay away.
