Design Jeweler

Fixed my necklaces quickly. The pearl had fallen off and needed reattached. Worth a visit.

Wonderful experience today picking out stud earrings for our 10^th Anniversary. Misan (sp?) answered all of our questions, and showed us exactly what we wanted. Price was great and inventory was just right, not overwhelming, but enough of a selection. Complimentary champagne was a nice touch. Will be going back to design jeweler for future purchases!

Awesome quick service. I was ready to make a purchase, I told Taline and Nazo my budget, what I was looking for, and within days they contacted me to come in to look at a few options. They explained to me the 4 c’s, the value difference between each grade, and suggested their honest opinion. They made this entire process, extremely easy, and pleasant. I would highly recommend you stop in for a quick 30 minute consultation and they will answer any questions and concerns you may have!

Our 15^th year wedding anniversary is coming up in 28^th of July and we have been ring shopping everywhere! We bought our original wedding rings from Shane Co and when we went back, we didn’t find the upgrade that we were looking for in their selection. A friend of mine from work encouraged me to go to 888 Brannan street in SF, our 1^st stop was DESIGN JEWELERS and met HILDA. I tried on the first wedding ring set and fell in love with it! Hilda greeted us with her warm smile and excellent customer service! She treated us like a family and answered all our questions! The wedding band was gorgeous especially the center stone we picked! The price and quality is superb! I highly recommend this place and working with Hilda for any jewelry needs! I received so many compliments with my ring. My favorite one is. It’s distractingly beautiful!

DJ is first class and very professional. They work around your specifications and do an amazing job catering to your needs. Taline and Nazo are a great team and helped me find the perfect engagement ring.
With their wide selection of inventory, you will not have to go anywhere else again.

I am going to combine two of my diamond purchasing experiences together here today. 5 years ago, my fiancé (now my hubby) wanted to get a nice diamond engagement ring for me. He did a lot of research on line and had gone to a few local jewelry stores. He did not find a ring until he met Hilda from Design Jeweler. He told her exactly what I would like and what budget he had. In just a couple of days, she found a very nice ring for us. When I saw the ring, I was so excited and pleased with the ring. I’ve enjoyed my ring every day.

Now, 5 years later, my dear hubby wanted to upgrade my original engagement ring. We went back to see Hilda. At the beginning, I really did not know what I was looking for. Hilda was so very sweet and patient to take notes. Over several weeks, she sent me several different diamond GIA reports with the prices that met my requirement. From this process, I learned what was available on the market. Hilda gave me a fair price with a wonderful trade-​in value for my original ring, and now, I have a wonderful new ring, which I love sooo much!
Thank you, Hilda! You are awesome!

My fiancé came here with his mother searching for what was going to be my engagement ring. From start to finish his experience was great. Hilda and Nazo were very knowledgable and willing to work with his budget. He was under a time crunch and very particular about how my ring would look and she was willing to compare stones side by side for him from their huge collection of stones. In the end, under the time crunch, he was able to walk out the store feeling confident that his ring would be ready in two days and would be perfect.
It was! My ring was perfect, it mirrored the quality and design of some of the TOP ring designers in the US. I’m so amazed that a ring this perfect was ready to go in 2 days.
I highly recommend this place because of the quality and design of my ring and my fiancé recommends it because he had such a great experience there!
We will be back for our wedding bands!
See you all soon :)

Always an amazing experience! Beautiful jewelry and beautiful people that truly just want to make you happy and succeed every time! Went in for my wedding band pick up and they shined my engagement ring and brought us a bottle of champagne to take home when they found out our wedding is in two weeks! Truly magical experience! We adore these guys! We would give them 10 stars if we could!!!

If you want excellent customer service, experienced advice and a great piece of jewelry at a competitive price, this is the best place!
My husband and I were looking for an «upgrade» to my original engagement ring. I gave it my all to educate myself, but how can you tell unless you see, right? (Okay, so I’m a cynic). Hence, I Unilocaled my way through a dozen places to find the help and selection I was looking for. I concentrated on the peninsula vendors because I thought San Francisco would be too expensive. Dizzy from reading reviews, and tired of talking to the usual sales people, I took a break, frustrated with not finding a place to go to.
Well, let’s give San Francisco another chance shall we? And back to Unilocal I go. Design Jeweler — why are you on top of the customer rating list? Well, after spending some time with Nazo, I can now understand why this place is reviewed as such.
Nazo stayed patient, after what seemed like endless questions and lots of «can I see this to compare» questions. He is an educator to a complicated science and a whiz in making this process easy. To cut to the chase, Nazo knows his business and I LOVE my ring! Thank you, Design Jeweler!

I have been fortunate enough to have known Nazo and Yester for nearly 20 (twenty!) years.
This family-​owned and operated store exemplifies model customer service and genuinely sincere and caring people.
They always take care of my needs; have always come through in a pinch and never cease to amaze me.
From the first Valentine’s gift I purchased for my wife in 1997, her engagement ring in 1998 and the accompanying wedding bands in 1999, these two wonderful individuals have always shown warmth and great insight with quality, cut and pricing.
Throughout the years I have returned for various anniversary and special occasion presents; each time, they cater and show me the best of care.
I recently returned to have my wife’s engagement ring «refreshed» and Nazo insisted that I wait while they tended to me. I initially wanted to leave the ring there and come back in a few days but he asked me to wait while their jeweler (magician) worked.
We caught up with each other’s families and before I knew it, the ring was ready. It’s hard to believe my family and I have been returning to Design Jewelers for nearly 2 decades but after seeing the same, attention to detail and exemplary service on a consistent basis, why would I dare go anywhere else!!!
Run, don’t walk, to see them for all your jewelry needs. Their staff are always attentive and insightful and offer amazing prices and stellar service!
Thank you for being such a great establishment — if this sounds like an endorsement, IT IS! You can see from my other Unilocal reviews I don’t just rate any old place. Additionally, I support the brick and mortar establishments that operate with integrity and embrace you like family. It is harder and harder to come by businesses like these.

It started with me calling in and talking with Hilda. This was after me making several calls to different jewelry stores. My request was finding a Rose Quartz stone (also known as heart stone). Hilda was the only one that knew of the stone and that’s when I knew my calling around was over. I made the appointment for us to come in and see her. We came in with a couple of pictures for designing my wedding ring. (Rose gold, pink diamonds, and center stone the rosa Quartz). Plus we only had three weeks to the wedding date. I was sure that it could not be done in time and was willing to just get a simple band until the ring was ready. BUT was told it would be ready and I would love the out come of the design. Picking up the ring and viewing it for the first time was love at first sight! Thank you Hilda and Design Jeweler!

Taline made the ring buying process very easy. It was December. And crunch time for me at work. I was late for every appointment I made with her. As indecisive as I could possibly be. She was very patient and understanding.
My favorite part. The open bar

Design Jeweler is a great place to find your future wife the perfect engagement ring.
They are very helpful and knowledgable… Nazo and Taline both helped me find the perfect ring… They have a great in-​house jeweler that does all adjustments.
Overall 5-​Star customer service! 5 star products!!! Design Jeweler definitely makes you feel very welcome.

Super late on this review.
I went in February with my now fiancé to look for settings. I already had a heart shaped solitaire and I just needed a setting to fit my diamond. We made an apt for the week of valentine’s day. When we checked in at the lobby one of the lovely ladies came to get us and walked us to the shop. She asked what we were in for and we told her. Her and a couple of the other ladies showed us some settings.
I was able to pick out all the ones I liked and they placed my diamond in it so I could see how it would look. I fell in love with one of the settings but it was out of our price range. They saw how much I loved It and we were able to work something out. It was AMAZING!
They sized me and told me the ring would be ready that day! Couldn’t get better than that. Once I was all done with my ring it was his turn. He tried on a few rings and he found his in no time. His ring needed to be ordered but they assured us that it would be in within 10 business days and it was (I think it was even faster than that).
When we picked his ring up my mom came along and they poured us champagne in celebration.
We got engaged in march and I had the perfect engagement to go along with the PERFECT ring!
We plan on going back in a couple weeks so we can buy a wedding band as our wedding is fast approaching.
Thanks Design Jeweler for all your help and getting me the perfect rings!
I’d come back here for all my fine jewelry purchases.

Customer service is unbelievably courteous and knowledgable.
This is the place for gorgeous diamonds and serious deals.
Yester is an incredible saleswoman and her taste and ability to understand your needs is absolute perfection!
To all men out there looking for the perfect gift for that special someone; (my wife wrote the above), so trust that you are in good hands.
Yester — thank you!!! You are amazing! Look forward to getting my wife the next diamond for Christmas!

My fiancé got my engagement ring from Design Jeweler. His friend had recommended him to this place. My fiancé raved about how he had such a great experience. That Hilda was extremely helpful. He told her what he wanted and she took care of everything which made his ring shopping experience very easy.
We went back yesterday to get my ring resized and made some changes. I was a little nervous, but excited at the same time. I was nervous because the first time we went to look for a ring I had such a bad experience.
Boy was my fiancé right about this place. Everyone was very sweet and kind. Each person there came up greeted us and made sure we were well taken care of! They also ask about my new baby! How sweet of them to remember that. Some place just want to sell you their product and that’s it!
Hilda was wonderful I told her what I wanted to change and she was able to work with us to give us what we wanted. She was sweet, humble, great sense of humor! Most of all I appreciated her honesty. Made my feel at ease.
I was able to get my ring the same day. Most of all I love the outcome it was what I wanted. Thank you Design Jeweler for your hospitality. I will definitely recommend you guys to my family and friends!!!

I was looking for a solitaire diamond necklace and found one that caught my eye. The person who helped me LIED about the clarity. I could see CLEARLY with the naked eye that there were large black marks inside the diamond — salesman claimed that the clarity was SI1, it was probably I3.
Also he was extremely pushy and I did not appreciate him talking to his co-​workers in a foreign language. It makes it seem like he’s hiding something or perhaps making rude comments about me.

My fiancé and I could not be more happy with the experience here. Hilda came highly recommended from a friend and I see why! She is sweet, honest and had a great understanding of my taste (and my fiancé, as she offered him some whiskey).
The store is very warm and welcoming. They came in with very fair pricing putting us at ease for what we were looking for in an engagement ring. We are excited to get back there for our wedding bands. Thanks Hilda! You are amazing!

I had a great experience with Hilda & the folks at Design Jeweler. I wanted a custom design setting for my wedding ring and to use my mom’s diamond. They took my idea and photo references, came up with a mold, and tweaked it until it was exactly what I wanted.
They also went above & beyond by providing an appraisal, cleaning up my gold rings while I waited, and buffing out a tiny line on the ring afterwards — all for no charge.
I highly recommend them for their expertise & excellent service.

Nazo and Taline were very gracious and helpful. They didn’t have the exact ring I wanted but said they could make it for me. My husband wanted to get me that special ring for our 25^th anniversary. I presented a picture from all sides of «the one» and in two to three weeks it’s all mine. Can’t wait to check in once agan with the final product. I will have a picture of it for everyone to see.

Nazo I said I would update everyone about my beautiful designed ring you made for me. I have received endless compliments on a daily basis since I put it on. I have passed your name on because I believe you are very talented and have exceptional taste. Thank you again.
