These are not only wonderful people but amazing jewelry makers. My engagement and wedding rings were designed by them. I have numerous other pieces where my husband just described what he wanted and they were able to bring it to life. The pieces are stunning. They are so great about not pushing you into anything. And Ellie will tell you if something doesn't look good on you. Their prices are also a great value. They will work with any budget.

Andy Jewelers Review
A lovely, European style boutique of a jewelry shop. Owned and operated by a family that has been in this location for years, do not just come here just for sentimental reasons. They are also highly skilled and do all their work on site. Although many people often come in just to change watch batteries, they also do lovely work on watches and jewelry. They can also custom design jewelry too!
I bought my wedding jewelry here (eternity wedding ring and a earring/necklace set) and later on, a diamond solitaire necklace. They are such kind people as well. I love watching the wife and husband work together, they are so cute! Their jewelry selection, while not the biggest, is good quality and their prices are fair too. I pride myself on being an informed shopper and after looking at the mall stores, bigger box stores, department stores I always end up here.

Tigges Jewelers Review
I collect vintage rings, and I now take them all to Tigges for sizing and repair, because Barbara is knowledgeable, no-nonsense and awesome. Their repairs are flawless, and any piece of jewelry you take there will come out looking, fitting and sparkling better than ever. They took an old ring of mine which had a weird flaw in the band from a previous sizing and made the flaw completely disappear.
Also, they have an old fashioned ring sizing system - instead of just a series of rings hanging together on a main ring like at all other jewelry stores, so that when you try on the various ring sizes you have this huge mass of all the other rings hanging off your hand, they have a leather case that has one of every ring size each nestled into its own little velvet compartment. So much more elegant, and you get a truer measure of your ring size this way. If you're not sure how tightly a ring should fit, Barbara will explain it to you, and she can also explain how to get a ring off that is too tight, and how to best care for your pieces!

Derco Fine Jewelers Review
Purchased my wife's engagement ring and wedding ring here with Lorraine. Wife bought my wedding ring here also. Never visited any of the other places at 888 Brannan (like Just Diamonds or Giraux) so I don't really have a basis of comparison. I was a newbie when it comes to buying diamonds or jewelry.
Lorraine was very helpful and didn't pressure us into buying anything we didn't want. She was very informative and answered all our questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. I had researched the 4 C's prior to starting my search for an engagement ring, so I knew a little bit, but not much. She guided me through how to look at the diamond and what to look for. I felt she gave us a fair price after some negotiation and I've felt very satisfied after every purchase. Anyone who knows me at all will tell you that this is a difficult task, because I usually feel shorted on value. But my experience here was awesome! Might be because my search started at Shane Company, but who knows. By the way, never go to Shane.

Elite Jewelry Review
Simon was upfront, honest, and very straightforward with his bargaining. I'm always a bit nervous when selling anything, let alone jewelry. He made the whole experience pleasant and I walked out feeling good (not cheated or disappointed like I have so often in the past with other buyers). I strongly felt that he was looking out for both of our interests - which I respect and appreciate. He even took the time to take a 2nd and 3rd look, just to make sure neither one of us was being cheated.
If you're looking to sell your old and/or unused jewelry - like so many people are in this bad economy - before you make a final decision, go see Simon and see what he says. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to find an honest, straight-shooter, like I was.
