Timothy Meier Design

Tim is the best. Had some trouble with another jeweler, Tim recreated a botched ring in time for our wedding, gave us his thoughts upfront about allergies I was showing signs to. The design he came up with was simple and beautiful, and perfectly reflected what we wanted but didn’t know how to explain.
He also made my husbands wedding band, very reasonable price for such a beautifully constructed ring.
We loved everything about our experience with Tim, his professionalism, his humor and candidness. And especially his amazing personality.
If you love beautiful jewelry, and want someone who will do it right, go to Tim. Trust me. He will not screw you, like many others in the business.

wow. stood us up twice… i am amazed that that he has gotten such good ratings.

I visited Tim downtown looking for a wedding band for myself. I didn’t like the idea of an impersonal mall-​store ring and Unilocal lead me to his shop. I was immediately impressed by how cool his workspace is. After talking with Tim and listening to his passion about metals and metallurgy, I knew I was going to be happy with the end result.
After looking at sample rings, I told him which aspects of the rings I liked and he promised to come up with a custom design for me. I could not have been more stoked with the result. The ring was on time, well within my budget and is the unique design that I was looking for.
As I was waiting, I was able to watch Tim interact with other clients who came in to review their designs or pick up their jewelry. It was cool to see how much Tim cared about each piece and the time he took to make sure that each person was completely satisfied. Besides being an incredible artist, he cares about the people side of the business as well.
If you are in need of custom jewelry, do yourself a favor and check out his spot.

My fiancée and I commissioned Tim to do my custom wedding ring in late August 2014. We told him that we were not in a rush since our wedding was far off, so his 8 week estimate was fine by us. I didn’t ultimately take delivery of the ring until 7 months later, due to a variety of issues Tim was having.
I honestly am not the type to get worked up if it’s not going to help the situation and it’s not dire, but ultimately, we both got frustrated when communication became spotty over the months. Between my approval of his work and the final coating was 4 months. While he warned us the coating process (he outsources it) could take as short as 2 weeks to as long as a month or so, the 4 months after 3 months for work on the band, felt unacceptable.
I still am happy to give Tim 4 stars because he understood that he messed up and his spotty communication and half year+ wait was unacceptable. As such, he gave us a substantial discount. Money goes a long way to make a customer happy! Not to mention the ring pretty much just as I envisioned it!

Tim is an amazing jewelry designer. He helped my fiancé and I customize my engagement ring. The attention to detail truly made the ring special.

Tim is awesome! Very talented jeweler and designer. I met Tim
Through BNI and we have a few mutual friends which he came highly recommends from. His attitude and passion for jewelry is above and beyond. I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for custom Jewelery.

This review is WAY overdue. Tim is amazing and created beautiful rings for my husband and I for our wedding.
When I am working with someone who is doing something creative for me (i.e. haircut, etc), I want them to be able to take my ideas and make them better — I’m not the expert. This is exactly Tim. When we met with him, I had pictures of things I liked. Tim took those ideas and preserved them while taking them a couple steps further and adding in amazing suggestions I would have never thought of. He even made some suggestions about how to make the ring work better for my occupation. Added some personal engraving on the rings at the end. Really nice guy, fun to work with, loves what he does, updated us on the whole process.
My husband hates jewelry. The face that Tim could come up with some suggestions he actually got excited about speaks to his expertise.
We also loved that he let us incorporate some gold we had and some small diamonds we had from our mothers old jewelry. He is totally reasonably priced and communicated well about what the price would be, what we could to to lower the price a little, etc.
BEAUTIFUL CRAFTSMANSHIP. I get compliments on my ring daily.

Tim created an amazing, one-​of-​a-​kind ring for my fiancé. I had an idea of what I wanted and he helped me refine it and make it a bit more realistic. It ended up much more classy and cooler than I had imagined. He emailed me a 3D rendering so I could see what it would look like, added some bling and kept it all within budget. She gets compliments all the time, we couldn’t be happier. He also makes some very cool, masculine jewelry, I often get complimented on another ring I bought for myself. Can’t recommend Tim’s jewelry work enough!

Come here for all my jewelry needs. Best product, price, and customer service around. Repaired an antique ring for my engagement. Custom made my wife’s wedding band to match. Mother’s Day, anniversaries, and any special occasion I come here.

Tim is a lifesaver. He does great work and educates you on the purchase. I recommend Tim to family and friends who are looking for quality jewelry at a fair price. I purchased an enengagement ring wedding band for my fiancée as well as my own wedding band. I can’t speak highly enough of Tim and his work!

Tim is not only a great artist, craftsman, and jeweler, but he is a genuinely great guy that gives the best service possible, he always goes above and beyond expectations.
Tim made me a custom diamond necklace and a custom engagement ring and wedding band set. (to be honest, this was 2 years ago and I just found this review sitting in my queue to send)!!
Everybody comments and love’s MIcheles diamond ring and necklace. I will always get Michele’s jewelry here!
Thanks Tim!

I contacted Tim after I purchased a wedding ring online for my fiancé. I was disappointed in the quality of the ring I had bought, so I showed it to Tim and asked if he was able to make the ring himself. He told me the challenges of making it, as well as all of the improvements he could make, and in the end, I got a great ring that I can’t wait to give my fiancé on our wedding day. Thank you for your help and for being so accommodating, Tim!

I cannot compliment Tim enough. WOW. 7 out of five stars!!! This man is a genius but is so laid back and approachable– not a common combination! You won’t have a better experience building your dream ring, I guarantee that.
Whats the best thing about Tim? Take your pick: Timely response, incredible personality, extreme willingness to accommodate your budget, an endless breadth of knowledge on his industry, the ability to adapt to ANY style … Tim is the ONLY jeweler you need to see hands down.

Tim made my engagement ring as well as helped us pick out the diamond, he did an amazing job with both. He’s really easy to work with and a great person. Another huge and important part working with Tim was that we didn’t feel that we were getting ripped off. Absolutely loved working with him and will highly recommend him to all my friends.

This review is long overdue. Timothy Meier designed our wedding rings one year ago. We are celebrating our anniversary next week, and I LOVE my ring as much today as I did the day we got married. Tim helped us design our own rings. I came in with a picture of a mosque I saw in Iran, that I love the design on, and from that he came up with a design more beautiful than I could have imagined! I also wanted a ruby rather than a diamond. He sat with me and showed me numerous rubies until I found the «right» one. My husband loves his ring too. We both get compliments about how unique our rings are. Thanks Tim for creating rings for us that are both meaningful and beautiful!!!

After looking at hundreds of rings and meeting with other jewelers who seemed more like a used car salesmen than craftsmen, my fiancé and I were losing the joy of «putting a ring on it.» Then we found Timothy Meier Design here on Unilocal — and we’re so glad that we did.
Tim created a custom engagement ring and wedding bands for us. We brought him a loose diamond and a bunch of pictures of design elements that we liked. While sitting down with us and looking through the pictures, he sketched a drawing of what would become the final design for my ring. He also had the perfect design for my husband. The process was smooth and enjoyable, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
Tim is a very cool guy and an extremely talented craftsman who does beautiful, creative, quality pieces. We will continue to bring him our business and give him our highest recommendation.

Amazing jeweler!

I used Tim Meier for a ring re-​sizing. He is knowledgeable, has competitive prices, does GREAT work, allows for drop-​off or appointments, and has a very pleasant demeanor in conversation.
More generally, after perusing other items in his shop, his work shows he’s a true craftsman. I’m going to turn to him first for custom items in the future. Thanks again, Tim. B-)

Tim created my engagement ring and wedding band exactly how I wanted it. It is the most beautiful ring and I get compliments all the time.
The kicker is, we were NOT easy customers. We had a million ethical and moral requests for the stones, etc and he went out of his way to help us reach our goal.
I couldn’t be happier with my ring. Thanks Tim!

For the not-​so-​mild mannered stockbroker or corporate attorney who’s tatted up to the nines (but can’t let on), there’s other ways to wear a rock-​n-​roll lifestyle on your sleeve — literally. San Diego jeweler Timothy Meier has created a line of men’s bling with the Gen-X’r in mind (give or take a few years).
Counting rockers Dave Navarro and Sting among his clients, Meier’s edgy, handcrafted cufflinks, rings, chains, belt buckles and bracelets are contemporary enough to wear with t-​shirts and jeans, or classic enough for a business suit or tuxedo. Utilizing fair trade gemstones, Meier also creates custom jewelry from recycled precious metals — like those old cufflinks your dad used to wear.
All that glitters might not be gold – but it can be green.
