Valalan's Jewelers 25401 Crenshaw Boulevard, Torrance, CA 90505

"There's so many great things I want to say about this store, BUT to keep it short so you know why this is the best place to shop I will get straight to the point. My fiancé proposed to me with the intention of having me design my own engagement ring. So tough choice is, how much research do we need to do to find the right one? I am happy Alice was our first choice as I did have some jewelry pieces (like 1 sided diamond to a hoop earring) that I wanted to be repurposed. She gave a lot of information on what to look for in a design and style for me. I didn't want a vintage look but wanted something dainty. We tinkered with a few style for a couple of weeks. I was a frustrating bride to be because with today's information at the tip of your finger, there was so much style to choose from! I then threw in a wrench asking for some emeralds, but not to make it look Christmas-y. At the end of the day, she somehow made it happen! I get so many compliments on my ring and everyone is still amazed at the addition emeralds that is elegantly placed. I can't wait to come back and get a few other pieces designed here."

"I have been going to Valalan’s and dealing with Alice for all my jewelry needs for probably over 30 years. I have never come away disappointed with either the information gathered or a purchase. She has my complete trust in any and all advise and has helped me create some beautiful gifts for my wife. If she doesn’t have what you are looking for she can get it for you or as in many of my visits, help you create a beautifully designed, one of a kind gift. Valalan’s is my go to jewelry store, never a doubt I am going to be happy I spoke with Alice. My wife constantly gets complemented on her jewelry and we always recommend Alice and Valalan’s to family and friends."

"I highly recommend this business. The quality of the jewelry is second to none and the level of service is top notch. I have worked with Alice on several occasions to design jewelry for my fiancé. Alice always works within my budget, provides spectacular ideas, and ensures that both my fiancé and I are happy with the final product. I will continue to purchase jewelry from this business for years to come and recommend this business to anyone in the market for quality jewelry and personal customer service."

"I have been doing business at Valalan’s since 1993. Excellent service and top quality jewelry. I have personally referred more than 100 people to this business I trust and believe in them so much. They will work within your budget and get you the best product in your price range. They go out of their way to make it right. Alice, Amy and their staff are TOP SHELF! Looking forward to my next purchase."

"I recently purchased an engagement ring and two wedding bands from Valalan's Jewelers and I could not be happier with the kindness, service, expertise, and the price I paid for the rings. Alice worked with me for hours to find the perfect stone and custom designed the engagement ring via modern CAD programming. She has a degree in gemology and has the highest certification as a GIA gemologist, whereas my knowledge doesn't go beyond common customer experience and internet research. Her knowledge and connections are vast. After all her time and efforts to explain everything, find the find the right stone, and custom design the ring, I was worried that I would end up paying a premium for the incredible service. To my surprise the price and quality was far better than anything I could have gotten at a chain jewelry store, I was truly humbled. I recommend all my family and friends to Alice and Valalan's Jewelers, you literally get treated like you are a close part of their family business."
