I purchased a stunning ring and had a very pleasant experience overall, will definitely recommend and purchase from Lang antique again. I was walked through the whole process step by step, and all my questions were always answered with detail and clarity by tracey who is very professional and so kind.

Every detail with my purchase went so smooth and perfect. From picking out the jewelry, emails, shipping etc was great. Everyone I had contact with at Lang's we're extremely helpful, friendly and professional. The quality of the jewelry Lang's sells is 2nd to none. The ring I bought is beautiful. I will continue to make purchases with Lang's in the future.

I purchased 2 pieces virtually and the whole process was so easy! The Lang team, especially Tracey, was so helpful and never pushy. I was slightly leery of buying fine jewelry without seeing it in person but couldn’t have been more pleased with my jewelry and the entire process. I look forward to my next purchase!

Wonderful selection of unusually beautiful jewelry; been shopping here for 20 years (since before the small location change). Staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgable. Repair services are good. Web site is a good place to start your shopping; staff will have your specific items ready to see when you arrive in person. Convenient parking at Sutter/Stockton garage (across the street). Highly recommend.

Tracey was an absolute pleasure to work with. She offered a very flexible solution to what I was trying to achieve, to the point where I felt I was getting VIP treatment. I wasn't able to visit the store and they were able to handle everything remotely and the experience was flawless. Their inventory is stellar and their excellent service is the icing on the cake.

Found an exceptional piece of antique jewelry at Lang's for my wife in celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary. Truly a unique, high quality selection to choose from, would be surprised if one couldn't find something special. Seamless sales process even though I was not able to shop in person; extra thanks to Elizabeth for answering my questions, and for providing exceptional customer service and facilitating expedited ring sizing and delivery cross-country. All around great experience.

Unbelievable buying experience! As a customer on the opposite side of the country, I was unable to have requested more. I was welcomed by amicable, proficient, and accommodating staff each time I called. My inquiries were addressed instantly and I got all the data I expected to settle on a sure purchasing choice, including extra recordings and photographs of the thing I was keen on. I accepted my thing following day—precisely as envisioned. It showed up with a written by hand note in a beguiling ring box. The solitary thing more great than the client care was the dazzling vintage ring I got.

If you are looking for a special, unique piece of jewelry, go to Lang Antique & Estate Jewelry. I purchased a ring for my wife’s birthday. It is beautiful and she loves it. Tony at Lang’s did an outstanding job helping me through the process. He promptly answered all my questions and was a great help in selecting the right ring for my wife. He honestly cared that she was happy with the purchase and followed up afterwards to make sure she loved the ring. Tony made me feel at ease with the online purchase process and he delivered on his commitments. Trust me – check out their website – you

If you are like me, buying an expensive piece of forever antique jewelry sight unseen - online - seemed like an intimidating and overwhelming prospect: there are so many online options, so who do you shop with to take the worry out of what you are buying and how do you know if the seller is reputable and is selling you an authentic antique/vintage piece.
Lucky for me I found Lang Antiques online. Their excellent customer service and friendly and knowledgeable sales team, along with their 10-day return policy for a full refund (including a prepaid return label) from the time your package

What a wonderful experience I had with Nicole at Lang. I had found a ring online that I was interested in purchasing for my wife for our anniversary. Nicole was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. This wasn't an inexpensive purchase and at first, I was a bit nervous about doing this online. Nicole's professionalism and goodhearted nature was the icing on the cake that led me to take the plunge. I couldn't be happier with the ring and my wife is over the moon. I wholeheartedly recommend Lang to anyone looking for that special piece.

Just a short response to the one star review left by Felix. I had a designer jewelry store in San Francisco's Cow Hollow area and I must say that the people at Lang's Antiques know more about antique jewelry than 99% of the antique jewelers I have met. They even established an Antique Jewelry University where many dealers have gained an education. I think that Felix must have misinterpreted the information that was given to him. Often times antique jewelry is repaired with techniques or materials that are not representative of the original manufacture. This can make them unacceptable

A gem of a jewelry store! Lang has beautiful antique pieces and a lovely staff to guide you through them. I highly recommend working with Kaye. She helped me find the perfect engagement ring and patiently answered my (never ending) questions about it. I had some issues with the sizing, but she worked with the store specialist to make sure we got it right. She even expedited the process to ensure we had the ring in time for a family trip.

Edward and the Lang's team were extremely helpful and friendly. They made the whole experience of purchasing my wife's wedding ring painless. Edward really listened and recommended the best options for what I was looking for and made sure I was comfortable before completing the purchase. I highly recommend them to anyone shopping for quality jewelry!

I currently live in Miami, FL, and my now fiance was tipped off to the fact that I wanted this ring. We've had an incredible experience with Lang, from start to finish; him with the ordering and delivery process, me with the resizing and recurring emails/guest service. Phenomenal guest experience - everything done at the highest level and in a timely manner. I feel incredibly lucky that I found my dream ring at Lang, as I could not imagine having a better experience with this process anywhere else. Forever thankful. I highly recommend.

My engagement ring is from Lang. Best experience ever and had to come leave a review after this last round. I received my ring in April (now September) and the prongs on the center stone had already lifted twice. The first time, I took it in and they tightened them for me. The second time, they took it more seriously.
Land sent my ring away to their jeweler, who redesigned the prongs to be more sturdy. It's beautiful and blends seamlessly with the rest of the ring and they didn't charge a thing. Thank you!!

This is a an amazing shop with a great selection of inventory. I didn't want a "new" diamond ting for several reasons, primarily ethics and design. I started my search at Brilliant Earth, but was appalled with three horrible service. After deciding that if I were to her engaged, then it'd have to be a vintage ring. We did a ton of research in the Bay Area and found nothing comparable to the Art Deco pieces Lang offered.
What truly makes this place unique is their level of service. Kaye Rodden helped me and I was so impressed by her expertise and kindness. I didn't feel

When I decided to propose to my girlfriend, I knew that I wanted to find a ring that was as unique as she. I suppose that I'm a romantic at heart, and I wanted to surprise her with both the proposal and the ring, so I did not elicit any suggestions as I wanted to give no hints. There were many options, but I narrowed down my jewelers of choice to Lang Antiques and Dianne's New and Old Estates.
I visited Lang's website which shows the store's entire live inventory. The rings here are primarily estate pieces, many dating to the Edwardian Era (1901-1919) or older. There are also
