Liza Shtromberg

I can only say good things about my experience with Liza.
First, I love the variety. I kind of recoiled at the idea of having some sort of identical look alike to millions of other married women around the country and wanted something really special that spoke to our relationship.
My now husband told me about coming here after having uncomfortable experiences in other jewelry shops that seemed just like another factory part of the marriage-​industrial-​complex. Liza and her work is different. They picked out a band (gold), jewel (sapphire) and setting (rose cut) based on what she thought would work with my taste and personality and at a good price. It was spot on, especially because I’m a klutz and don’t like chunky jewelry especially on my fingers.
We came back after the proposal to get it fitted and she was fantastic working with us to customize our wedding bands. She was able to create the matching band I wanted, integrating diamonds from my mothers ring. She even was able to work on our compressed timeline.
For my husband, who didn’t think he cared as much, we initially tried out some standard titanium and tungsten rings, but in the end decided it was worth the extra investment to have something more meaningful to us. I like that we were able to get all our rings from the same shop, literally walking from our apartment (the first we lived in together)! Most of all I love that the pieces are clearly each crafted uniquely, and the stories! My husband’s ring has a cool imprint that is taken from the Western Wall (also works since he’s Jewish by heritage).
It is a small shop so we always made sure to set appointments and coordinate after any changes by phone and/​or email which worked well.
She also has all kinds of other cool pieces, good for gifts for mothers or bridal parties or just because. Come here if you want a truly thoughtful, unique piece!

What a blessing Liza has been to me! After a costly failed attempt with another jeweler I found Liza. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and get to know me. She then helped me create the PERFECT ring that reflects me. I LOVE MY RING and am a huge fan of Liza. She puts heart into all of her work and clients. I could not be more thrilled with the entire process. If you want a jeweler you can trust, that will listen to you needs and create a custom piece without breaking the bank then Liza is your girl. Run, don’t walk to her now! You will not be disappointed.

I’ve been buying jewelry from Liza for 15+ years now. In the past, she designed the necklace for my wedding and for my bridesmaids. More recently, she designed an anniversary ring for me. It’s absolutely exquisite! — a blue sapphire, surrounded by diamonds with a diamond band. Just love it!
Liza designs beautiful, distinctive jewelry. I love browsing her store to see what interesting, new jewelry she’s displaying. She’s also super nice and I enjoy chatting with her about all sorts of random topics. I highly recommend her.

Their online appointment schedule doesn’t work, and I left two messages and never got a call back. So, is this even a business?

Evan C.: Liza played an instrumental part in the design and fabrication of a custom engagement ring for my fiancée. She went out of her way to accommodate my erratic work schedule to meet with me in person on multiple occasions and guided me step by step through the designing and building process from deciding on a cushion bezel set, white gold band, and hand picking the diamond within my price range. Best of all, she was able to take an existing design I liked and create a completely unique ring inspired by the design I provided. I am so happy to say that nobody else has a ring exactly like this one! Liza provides excellent customer service and is a true artist! We will be coming back here for wedding bands without a doubt.

Simply the most beautiful designer in LA. Just walk through Tiffany’s then come here. You’ll see exactly what I mean. Class, elegance, true unique artistry. If you want jewelry as a beautiful work of art you get to wear, this is the place.

My fiancée and I found ourselves at Liza’s establishment with a gorgeous solitaire diamond ring. Liza helped us find an prevent more stunning setting for me, that included a pave Halo. She was true professional and guided us to the right choice for us and was sensitive to our budget. She even talked me off the ledge from mixing metals. I was beside myself when we finally got the ring, it was everything I had imagined! Even weeks later, when a little pave stone fell out she relaxed it for free. Excellent family business, she is a million times better than those giant mass stores. Highly recommend using her!

Stellar Unilocal reviews led me to this great little jewelry shop and I’m so very pleased I found it. Liza was beyond helpful as I stumbled through the foreign landscape of engagement ring shopping. I knew nothing going in but Liza was very patient and professional as she walked me through the different options I would have to consider when purchasing. I felt comfortable discussing my budget and did not feel taken advantage of at any point. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about recycled diamonds and ultimately helped me settle on a ring that my now-​fiancé absolutely adores. Highly recommend.

My husband purchased my engagement ring from Liza and I absolutely love it. He was able to customize it and it came out so perfect. I get compliments all the time and I’m told how unique it looks. I’ve had it for about a year now and it still looks as good as the day he gave it to me. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Thank you Liza for creating such a beautiful ring!

I found my experience with Liza to be exceptional! She was able to form something I was thinking about into action almost immediately. Her emphasis on connecting with a customer can’t be understated. I love dealing with people who are not only good at their craft but truly care about all aspects of the experience. Kudos Liza!

I adore both the jewelry and the jeweler equally, I have a labradorite pendant, gold-​plated, that when It was bought I was told it would need re-​plating at some point and to bring it back in, well about 8 years later it needs doing, so I dropped by and asked if it could be done in rose-​gold and yes, it can, makes me so happy! I have several pieces from here, some gorgeous topaz chandelier earrings that I’ve had for 12 years and they are still absolutely perfect. Liza is just charming and lovely and always amazingly helpful and just such a nice person to talk to, which is such a plus in my eyes. The designs are original and beautiful, this isn’t cheap jewelry, but it’s worth every, single penny and you won’t see anyone wearing a similar piece, so if you are in need of some lovely, beautifully-​made earrings or pendants or anything… have a cup of coffee next door and spend some time looking at all the gorgeous items in here.

I am so grateful to have found Liza, she made my engagement ring and wedding band and did a stunning job. I had a loose diamond that had been in the family and wanted a ring made with it, but my fiancé and I are both musicians and I didn’t think I was going to be able to afford the ring I wanted. Liza worked with me to make it happen in my budget and now I have the rings of my dreams, plus they are totally unique, yet delicate as I had wanted them to be. I can’t recommend her enough, especially if you’re in the market for someone to do custom work.

Beautiful unique jewelry~Liza made our gorgeous wedding rings, and my husband and I couldn’t be happier!

Decided to have the diamond and ruby taken out of my old engagement ring and have a new ring made that didn’t catch on everything, the issue with the old ring. Made an appointment with Liza and we sat together to develop my idea for a new design. She was extremely helpful, and was able to show me physical examples of what my idea would look like. Before she actually made the ring, she sent me a dimensional graphic that showed how the ring would look. After approval, it was a brief while before the actual ring was ready. Just picked it up and love it!
Liza is very professional, yet friendly and helpful as well. You will be happy with your choice to come here.

My wife found Liza while looking for antique and unconventional rings for her wedding ring, and it was clear that Liza was a great match. The pieces in her shop are eclectic and of many different styles – but clearly all made with great care. It’s a fun place to look around, and I’m normally loath to enter a jewelry store.
I had always assumed I would buy a cheap wedding band for myself off of Amazon. However, after my wife received her ring, I decided that I wanted Liza to make my ring too. We are both incredibly happy with the style and quality of our rings, as well as the friendly and professional service provided by Liza.
Can’t recommend highly enough.

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 14 years. Years ago, you would walk into the store and see a few people working on jewelry in the back room. Periodically, they fixed a couple pieces of jewelry for me. Very nice and friendly. Today I walked in and asked if they could fix an earring clasp for me and they said no. There were three people standing around and they just looked at me. Very uncomfortable. I told them they had repaired jewelry for me in the past and they just stared at me like I had a third eye. I miss the old Los Feliz neighborhood. Now the pretentious meter continues to rise and I guess Liza only has time for the LIttle Dom’s clientele.
UPDATE: Wow. After reading the bizarre response, I’d have to add that there’s a little bit of wacky going on there too. Just wow. You can’t disregard or discredit an opinion by calling it «made up» simply because you don’t like it. Do you understand that opinion is the entire concept behind Unilocal?
And for the record, I wasn’t offended that you no longer repair jewelry, I was offended at how strange and uncomfortable you made me feel. Just like how strange and uncomfortable your response is here. Condescending would also apply to your response. Way to go Liza!
May 1, 2014 — Now Liza has decided to delete her original long winded bizarre response and pretend it never happened. There’s some serious personality disorder going on over there. At this point, it’s just sad and funny at the same time.

Going into this I knew nothing about engagement rings, or diamonds, or really anything about women’s jewelry. All I knew was I wanted a custom design and that I had a set budget. From the start Liza was helpful and accommodating in my vision. She created a 3D mock of my design, and we were able to go back and forth on changes/​ideas. In the end I got EXACTLY what I wanted and within my budget. Every time someone compliments my fiancé on her ring I am proud that not only I designed it, but it was created by a true jeweler.
I would like to stress that Liza did an amazing job of balancing both my confusion and nerves. She made me feel extremely comfortable in my decisions. Not once did I feel like I was being pressured on my budget, nor did I feel that she was trying to up-​sell me on anything.
Going to Liza was the best decision I made, to purchase the most important thing I’ll ever buy.

Liza crafts really beautiful and unconventional jewelry. When I started looking for engagement rings to propose to my fiancée, it seemed like every place had the exact same designs, with all the emphasis on big gaudy diamonds. I ended up finding the perfect match in this awesome Los Feliz boutique.
The ring I chose for my proposal has a beautiful asymmetrical design and the diamond was taken from vintage estate jewelry– the perfect match for my lady. One of the other things that really stands out is unlike so many other jewelry stores this is a family business. Liza’s husband is frequently working there as well, and they are both super cool and easy to talk to. There’s no pressure to up-​sell anything bigger or fancier– all the emphasis is on what YOU want.
We also came back to get our wedding bands here– again, there are lots of options that really distinguish this work as being made by someone whose style and personality you can see in the craft.
Highly recommend Liza’s work. Her necklaces and earrings are pretty awesome too!

I would have given more stars if Liza had more help in her store. It’s rather annoying competing with other people to get an engagement ring in a tiny store front.
She’s a great woman, very knowledgable about jewelry and the jewelry she makes herself is so gorgeous.
If you are looking for antique rings, Wanna Buy a Watch in West Hollywood is better for that.

If you are looking for unique, one-​of-​a-​kind pieces, Liza Shtromberg is the place to go! Liza’s imaginative designs offer something for everyone.
Be sure to work with Lauren. She is the best!!!
