Came in to browse for a rose gold necklace.. once I walked in, I was greeted by the owner.. He showed me a catalog of rose gold jewelry he could order for me, since he had little to no rose gold necklaces in stock.. After this, he had noticed I was wearing a gold necklace and insisted on testing the "quality" with some electro-meter type of machine. Side note - he suspected it to be "fake".. (the necklace I was wearing was my baptismal necklace, I had never thought of it to be fake gold). While probing my necklace with his electro prongs, he indicated to me that the necklace was fake. I was shocked

Spitz Jewelers team: Cheryl, Gary and Susan are awesome! They take their time with you no matter how large of a purchase. They are our go to jewelry store for all of our future jewelry purchases. Thank you for the appraisals, my and my husbands new wedding bands, and creating all of the pearl bracelets for my nieces and niece in laws out of my moms necklace. They all loved them!

I have never purchased anything from Spitz Jewelers but I found myself in need of repair on two rings, my wedding ring and my wife's wedding ring. Just to make this short and sweet, they did an outstanding job for a fair price and in a short time. Excellent customer service as well. All my future jewelry shopping will be done at Spitz in Walnut Creek!

Ok, fine jewelry isn't something you buy very often, right? You might be tempted to shop next door where they have a doorman and serve shoppers champagne but ask yourself who pays for all the extra fancies-YOU do! Spitz salespeople are super knowledgeable, their jewelers can make modifications and repairs, and the environment is relaxed. You can be educated about what you don't know without any condescension. It's our go to jeweler for special treasures!

Typical low-end retail jewelry location. Very elitist attitudes from the staff. Detached and only mildly interested in my needs. What could be better.
I went in to have one stainless pin replaced on my TAG watchband.
Their "Repair Guy" was almost gleeful when he was " Up front" with a customer and could inform me that I needed to have both pins replaced. His cat like smirk was almost comic. Must have been a slow day.
The salesperson was right there and said nothing when "Repair Guy" told me he would replace the pin for$25.
I am handicapped and walk with some

I purchased an Omega watch and had a great experience! Thank you to Kevin and Fiona for assisting me and for making my wife and I feel welcomed. They had a great sense of humor and they took their time to share detailed instructions on how to take care of my new timepiece. I highly recommend you stop by at this store and check out all the beautiful watch selections. I can’t stop staring at my Seamaster Aqua Terra watch!

The worst customer service ever. Despite having made 2 major purchases there, I was not treated with respect this summer. First of all, i am loyal to a fault by sticking with them during lockdown. They had possession of my Christopher Designs ring for months and didn't respond to my emails or phone calls to follow up. I wanted to get a new pink sapphire for the center. Finally after several calls and just showing up , i got a hold of them. Garry found my ring. I gave him a chance bc it was pandemic, but i regret it. After showing me sapphires that didn't look so good and not the correct

I went into Spitz Jewelers yesterday with a pair of earrings I've owned for many years that are unfortunately broken at the hook.
These earrings are good quality, but not fine jewelry and I'm not pretending they are. I came in just to ask if I could ever possibly fix them after just visiting Davidson and Licht where one of their jeweler turned his nose up at me and seemed insulted I would ever ask about how to fix a pair of earrings that weren't real gold. How dare I, right? I thought if I ask people who work with jewelry, they could provide any expertise on repairing a hook. I

Spitz is a fantastic family run business with an amazing selection of new and vintage jewelry. In fact, Spitz has the best vintage jewelry in the East Bay! Both my 1930s wedding ring and my 1910s cocktail ring came from here, after I visited many shops looking for the best pieces. The owners took care to understand my style and budget. They even switched out the main diamond in my cocktail ring before selling it to me, after they discovered a small chip partially obscured by a prong. It may have taken years for me to discover the chip, but they were totally honest and wanted to sell a high quality

I highly recommend Spitz Jewelers. They are a local family-owned and operated full service jewelry store that is very customer friendly and committed to providing excellent customer service and quality products at competitive prices.
In March 2017, a new watch of mine became magnetized running 15 minutes fast every 4 hours. I had set it next to a magnetic eyeglass holder clip on my bedside table. I tried demagnetizing the watch myself but was unable. I called local jewelry stores to see if they could demagnetize it. Someone at Spitz Jewelers confirmed they can and told me to bring in my watch

$20 watch battery and free cleaning with Yelp check-in. It took all of about 10 minutes.
While I waited, I noticed many beautiful engagement and wedding ring sets. Definitely V1 and greater. Something I'll keep in mind for the future.
Oh, on the service; The jeweler removes the battery, blows out any dust/particles, inserts a new battery, checks the movement, reseals the watch, and buffed the crystal and case.
My Shinola looks a good as new!

Staff was friendly and jewler was detailed at explaining the what's and why of the repair and cleaning. It took less than 2 weeks and came to me looking as if brand new.
Repair of one of the diamonds that fell from my wedding set (I neglect to have it tightened and professionally cleaned every 6 months as recommended). It's princess cut and that makes it more suceptable to becoming loose, according to at least 3 jewelers I've taken it to over the years.

My boyfriend and I have recently started the very daunting task of searching for the right diamond and band that aligns with our taste and fits with our budget. We were very lucky to come across Spitz Jewelers.
I think it's always intimidating for two young adults to walk into a jewelry store hoping to spend a small investment on a stone for forever. The vibes we were getting from Spitz Jewelers was totally opposite, Cherl was the one that sat down with us to help us. She was genuinely helpful, real, funny, and knowledgeable. She didn't try to up-sale us, we didn't feel judged
