C. Blackburn Jewelers 864 Prospect Street, San Diego, CA 92037

"I needed some old jewelry appraised. I found good reviews on C. Blackburn Jewelers. I called to make an appointment and Carl was very pleasant and accommodating on the phone. Upon arriving at his jewelry shop in La Jolla, he proceeded to evaluate our pieces and was very knowledgeable and informative. He appeared to offer a fair price for our jewelry. We would definitely recommend Carl and would use him again ourselves should the need arise."

"My (now) fiancee and I went to many different jewelers on our search for the perfect ring, and while we liked many of the other jewelers, none of them offered anywhere near the personalized service or competitive prices that Carl offers. He made us truly feel at home shopping for the perfect ring. He took the time to explain all of the different options within our price range, including detailed explanations of the 'three C's'. He helped us to identify the perfect ring and had it made for us well ahead of schedule. In the end, the ring ended up being perfect with a diamond that is much shinier than I had expected :) He really helped make our proposal perfect. Now after getting the ring, he has helped us with the resizing process and has been there to answer our lingering questions around insuring the ring and such. I cannot give him a better recommendation!! Do yourself a favor and start your search with him."

"Yesterday I received an education in gemstones, the jewelry making process and jewelry design! Carl spent 3 to 4 hours of his valuable time with us discussing gemstone identification and value. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and patient! I was truly impressed and left his shop with the feeling that he is honest and trustworthy. He would absolutely be my first choice to have a piece of jewelry designed and purchased! I really cannot say how grateful I am for the knowledge he imparted to us! It was well worth the drive!"

"Right from the start the experience with Carl was amazing. Carl paid very close attention to detail for every step of the process and was more than accommodating to make sure the ring that was custom made for my fiancé was top tier and was exactly what I had hoped for. I could not ask for a better experience for a custom made engagement ring. From the beginning Carl was professional and punctual and takes his skill very serious to provide exactly what you want. 10 out of 10."

"Carl is our family’s new go-to jeweler. He is truly fantastic! Carl is extremely professional and a true expert that knows his craft. He gives honest and well sought after advice and delivers a remarkable product in a timely manner. He patiently guided my fiancé and I through the process of a customizing an engagement ring/wedding band set and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Carl and his shop!"
