I came to see James with a very special ring in mind for my soon to be Fiancee. He was very patient and he ordered in diamond after diamond until we came up with exactly the right stone. Then we worked on the design of the setting until it was just right. Not only was James very patient througout this process as I gave detail after detail...he was actually as picky as I was! In fact James was custom carving the setting and at one point he scrapped the whole thing and started from scratch because not only did he know it would... read more

10 Stars!!! Perfect upgrade to our estate jewelry! James evaluated my wife's 80-year old diamond wedding set for a new band to accompany the original engagement ring. He custom-made the ring to fit against the contours of the antique, added hand-selected diamonds, detailed hand engraving to match to original pattern, and tool-worked the gold for an incredible finish. The set belonged to my great-grandmother, and I know she would be more than pleased with the "upgrade" from James & co. James and Daniel were recommended by oth... read more

No job is too demanding, too urgent, too large or too small for the extraordinary James. He is a gifted, knowlegable jeweler, a meticulous repairer and a scrupulously honest businessman. I've entrusted my most precious pieces with him, and find his work consistently excellent. In frequent encounters with James (yes, I love jewelry) he acutely understands and delivers on each request. It's a real luxury to deal with such a talented professional who takes obvious pleasure in satisfying every customer. Like James, his store is ... read more

I am new to the area. When I noticed that the diamond in my ring was loose I panicked. I had no idea where I would take this extremely special item that to me is irreplaceable. I really didn't want to leave it in a store with strangers. Thankfully, I found this wonderful Jeweler in the Yellow Pages and read the rave reviews. From the moment I walked into the little shop I felt at ease and knew I had made the right choice. The Jeweler was friendly and extremely helpful. He fixed my ring right there in the store in what seemed... read more

Sometimes one just gets lucky. We met James when my wife needed an expert to fix her ring and over the past three months we’ve been back a half dozen times with more and more items that either needed repair, resized, or appraised. James is professional and very personable. We enjoy his company and we have been extremely pleased with his creative solutions and advice. If our friends are looking for someone that does excellent quality work at very reasonable rates we will not hesitate to share our “find” with them.

I am the owner of Gems by the Sea in Monterey and I do not do jewelry repair work. I am very glad that James is here to help. He is very honest and reliable. I use James to work on my own jewelry and as a graduate gemologist I am very reluctant to leave my jewelry with just anyone. My clients are very grateful for his knowledge and expertese in repairing their heirloom jewelry or just fixing a clasp on a chain. He is able to fix most things on the same day which as a shop owner, can make a lot of difference. If I need a ring... read more

I am the owner of Gems by the Sea in Monterey. I do not repair jewelry so I use James. He is very quick and extremely reliable as well as honest. He has repaired my own jewelry which I am very reluctant to leave with someone I could not trust. I am a graduate gemologist and do appraisals on jewelry for insurance purposes and have never had any trouble with James doing anything unethical. It is a relief to know I can count on him to get everything I need done in most cases on the same day. My clients are grateful for his know... read more
