REAL REPAIR JEWELER! He went over each piece with me, told me the options and price estimates ahead of time. Takes his time with you and is really thorough! He isn't one to jump into soldering- he really hides the repair like nothing ever happened! Amazing pricing and works pretty quickly. He fixed 3 pieces for me within 4 days. Amazing and will definitely going back if need be. & his displayed jewelry is really beautiful as well!

I'm so happy I came across this place after searching so long for a jeweler! I needed a gold ring resized up a little and Raffi was able to do that for me within only a couple of days! The ring looked perfect and was even shinier than when I brought it in. I was so happy with his work that I ended up purchasing a simple gold band and it was ready within days. DAYS people!
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a jeweler. Raffi listens to all your needs, is easy to work with, professional, and most importantly, affordable and trustworthy. I'm so happy with my rings and know

Seriously amazing! I had a family ring that I wanted to get sized and use as a wedding band, but I had concerns about whether it would last a lifetime of everyday use (it's a pretty delicate ring - old world etched pattern, made out of sterling silver and hand painted in rose gold). So, I didn't want to just take it anywhere. I found Siamonto Jewellers based on the incredible reviews and Raffi honestly exceeded all of my expectations. He was able to size the ring without interrupting the delicate etched pattern (which I really didn't know would be possible). He then used that ring as a mold to

I just got engaged and came in to resize my partner's white gold ring with diamonds. Raffi took a look at the ring and was able to confirm how many karats and that the diamonds were real. He then gave us a great price on sizing it up from a 7 to 8.5. Two business days later my ring was ready and immediately captivated me with how beautiful it shone in the light. Raffi sized it up perfectly, polished it, and TRULY made the ring look like new. I'm so grateful to have found a reliable small business in downtown Seattle. Thanks so much Raffi!

Raffi was amazing to work with. I wasn't sure what I wanted for an anniversary ring. He was so patient, and have good ideas for me to consider looking into. I added up with two rings rather than one. Never even thought of doing that. My spouse loves being able to wear them in different configurations.

If I can give 10 stars I would! I recently got engaged and purchased my fiancé's ring at another jeweler. Initially, the jeweler said they would be able to size and fit the ring the same day, but when reevaluating the ring said that it would take longer due to the diamonds potentially having to be put back in place which may be labor intensive and meticulous. We were having a small impromptu engagement affair at the house, and would do anything to get her ring sized last minute if possible. Raffi looked at the ring, called nonsense, and sized my soon to be wife's beautiful ring and polished

I never thought I'd find my jeweler, but now I am convinced Raffi is the one! I've been to other places in the city for ring resizing, and those places seemed cold and domineering, with little warmth or approachability. Raffi, the owner of Siamonto Jewelers, is a breath of fresh air! He is warm, kind, extremely knowledgeable in his craft and is just a great person to talk to. I came in for resizing my engagement ring and on a whim brought in an old family ring that was missing a stone. Two days later, they were both ready. The engagement ring fits beautifully, and my old beat up family

Had my engagement ring resized here - a late 1800s delicate little estate ring. Raffi did an INCREDIBLE job working with the ring, and when I picked it up, he had it freshly cleaned. I had no idea my ring could be even more beautiful than it was prior - but it was glistening and sparkling like crazy! We'll definitely be back to purchase wedding bands from him.

Strongly recommend!!! My fiancée and I needed to get our engagement rings resized and Raffi was amazing! We bought our vintage rings from a third party and he checked the authenticity of our stones for us and was very upfront about needed to get our prongs fixed,as not to lose any stones. He was very sincere and we felt we could really trust him with these important pieces of jewelry!! He had a really fast turn around rate (5 days) for resizing two rings and fixing prongs! He was so wonderful!

Raffi is amazing! As a guy who knows nothing about jewelry, I am now a guy who knows a little bit about jewelry, thanks to Raffi.
I came into his shop looking for help with getting the perfect ring for my now-fiancée and had no idea about what settings were or what shapes were popular, etc. There was a lot, I mean I still don't know much but what I do know is that my fiancée loves her ring and that's what matters.

The best thing about Siamonto Jewelers is actually Raffi himself. He's warm and friendly and full of wonderful imagination for jewelry. He gave us so much of his time and he sat patiently with us while we figured out what we wanted for our ring designs. But equal to his personable nature is his great skill and craftsmanship. He was able to reforge my fiancé's parents' wedding rings into brand new rings for us and we were totally blown away by the results. If you have a design in mind, and particularly if you are working with rings that have been in your family, then you need to

Do check out Siamonto Jewelers! I wore down my sterling silver ring which eventually broke in half. I called in and Mr. Raffi fixed it despite there also being the difficulty of not damaging the inlaid pearl. He additionally strengthened my ring after a second consultation free of additional charge. Thank you again Raffi! A dear friend gifted this ring to me. Picking it up polished and better than ever has been making my days!

I got superglue all over my wedding ring while attempting to fix one of my kid's toys. I was really upset and afraid I'd ruined it forever. It's a family heirloom, irreplaceable. So I was thrilled to get it back from Siamonto Jewelers looking as beautiful as ever. Thank you, Siamonto! I will never touch superglue again!

Raffi, who is the owner of Siamonto Jewelers is the absolute best! Look no further, he is definitely who you should work with for any jewelry repair. I had him expand my ring and it looks even better than when I gave it to him. He is also very affordable and honest. FYI, he is in the process of moving his location to inside Hotel Monaco, which should happen July 2019. In the meantime, confirm with him what address is correct for him!
