Carats to Karat

"I have been using this jewelry store to get various things fixed. One of the owners, James, specializes in repairing and cleaning watches. He did an amazing job cleaning my Longines watch and I was so happy with it. He also repaired my brother’s Omega. I love the fact that he will only replace broken pieces with the original good pieces that came with the watch and he will wait until he can find them. It may take him longer to fix them because he has so many clients, but he does an amazing job and it’s so worth the wait. I recently brought in a few rings that I needed to be resized. One was a simple silver band that they were able to stretch and it fits perfectly now. My other two rings…. a vintage diamond band with delicate details, and a David Yurman ring…. needed to be cut in order to be resized. I was so worried about being able to tell where they cut the rings and added pieces. I just got them back yesterday. They fit perfectly and I cannot even see where they cut them because they did such an amazing job duplicating the design. They have lovely jewelry as well. I would definitely recommend them for fixing watches and anything else you have. They are very professional, nice, and do a wonderful job."

"My Suunto Altimeter watch which has lasted 20+ years was on its "last legs." I used it for many mountain climbs including Aconcagua (22,837 ft.) in the Andes, Mont Blanc (15,700 ft) in the Alps, and Kilimanjaro (19,300) in Tanzania. The circular plastic screw-off lid containing the battery could not be opened. I used several tools which actually damaged the slot where a coin or large screwdriver could be inserted to apply some torque. It was "frozen" in place and the o-ring gasket which makes the watch waterproof was damaged. A local jewelry store recommended Carats to Karat. They said that they had a real watchmaker with 35 years experience. I took my "dead" watch to James and he fixed it in about 5 minutes! He also put in a new o-ring and had the correct battery. The place exceeds all expectations!"

"My husband had his grandfathers gold pocket watch refurbished by James. He was extremely knowledgeable. Did a beautiful job on the watch. I had a diamond ring with loose diamonds refurbished as well and it came back looking sparkling new in fact better than it was when it was new. They are the best jewelers in the entire area of the Central Coast. Wonderful and trustworthy. Highly recommend them."

"I can't express how pleased I am with this jeweler. My husband had been passed down a family heirloom cocktail ring and we didn't know what to do with it. We found this place and asked if they made custom jewelry. YES YES YES! Between the cocktail ring and my engagement ring we had new rings made. We had two rings made for my sister in-laws so that they would have a piece of the heirloom. We had a new ring made for myself and Craig took my thoughts about what I wanted and turned them into three beautiful rings. I couldn't be more happy!!! I love how he took the white gold from my engagement ring to set the diamonds in and used the yellow gold from my husbands inherited ring to wrap the bottom of the ring as well as make two bands that go on both sides of the ring. Craig does beautiful work!!! I highly recommend this jewelry store. Mary was great support throughout the process of having the rings made and has EXCELLENT customer service!!! You won't be disappointed with their business!"

"A truly magical experience. After years of not being able to add a wedding band to my wife's ring, Carats to Karat made our thought to be impossible dream a reality. Not only were they willing to take on the completely custom job, they even got it done before Christmas. True craftsmanship and customer service in one convenient location. We give you our sincerest thank you!"
