The anniversary ring that my husband bought for me for our 20th wedding anniversary lost a diamond. I had worn this ring everyday since he gave it to me, and we would have been married 41 years this month. My husband passed away almost 2 years ago now, so this ring is priceless to me now. I took the ring into a jeweler in Redwood City where I live, and after keeping it for 3 weeks, they told me that the ring was just too worn, and if they replaced the diamond, they couldnt guarantee that I wouldnt lose more diamonds out of it. I search the web, and found good reviews with Appelblom Jewelry in San Mateo. I took a chance and drove up there with my ring. The minute I walked into the store and talked with the wonderful people there, I felt like I had come to the right place. I explained the situation to them. They were very caring, and put my mind at ease that they could fix my ring. After having it a week, they called to tell me what the other jeweler had, that the ring was really worn down, but they suggested that they could fix the ring by remaking it using the same gold and diamonds that are currently in it. It would look identical to my original ring, and the cost was very reasonable too. I went for it, and Im so glad I did! The ring came out looking just like new, and should last me another 20 years now! They also fixed a broken prong on my wedding ring, and cleaned and polished both rings up like new. It made me cry when I saw them. I am more then pleased with this jeweler, and Ill be back to them in the future. I will also refer all my friends to them too. They were caring, gave me really quick service, and just all around great! Thank you!

First let me say i enjoy the experience of a comfortable environment, Appelblom gave that. Paul was very inviting and friendly. I wanted a fully customized ring for my then girlfriend as i wanted it as special as possible. We went through what i wanted, to what i had envisioned to put into the ring, and he made it happen. Paul was very helpful and thorough through the AutoCad drafting and design ideas to letting me know material costs. I thank him very much for the amazing work he and his partners did to give me an amazing one of a kind ring to give to my now Fiance. I would definitely want to come by his store for our wedding bands if it works out for us to do so. I attached a couple images of the ring below as my Fiance is in love with the ring and i am very happy with the work done. Thanks Paul and Co.! P.S I used family heirloom diamonds and he took great care in making sure they shined in the ring!

Simply put, our experience was second to none. Appleblom is a cut above the rest. Paul helped my fiancé and I through the process from beginning to end. Always willing to answer our questions openly and honestly. I had quite a bit of research done and had encountered sales pitches everywhere else we went. At Applebloms the atmosphere was welcoming and laid back. Zero pressure. We really enjoyed hanging out at the store with Paul. When it came to the ring, Paul was knowledgeable and professional. He really responded to our needs. He pulled together several personalized options - always delivering above and beyond expectations. I was blown away by how well Paul listens, putting all his expertise to work for you. He took a personal interest in helping us find exactly what were looking for. We couldnt be happier. The whole thing was better than we could have ever hoped.

Paul and the wonderful ladies represent, by far, one of the premier Jewelers. You enter a inviting and intimate setting where you can take a seat and ask questions about the variety of items they have one display. My favorites are their rings. They have innovative new pieces and a growing number of wonderful vintage items at the store AND Etsy. They have also helped repair a very important ring. Several Times... It wasnt perfect the first time around but they took another shot and it was perfect. That lets me know that they understand that the customers opinion always comes first. They have cool events you can go to. Take the time to visit the next time youre in Downtown San Mateo window shopping or wanting to splurge on something nice. You wont be disappointed.

Appleblom Jewelry is the most trustworthy Jeweler in the Bay Area. Paul helped me choose the correct ring for my wife before I popped the question. In addition, he shipped my ring to the east coast before New Years eve so that my wife would not find it in our luggage during our trip. Everything went smoothly. Fast forward three years later, we needed some adjustments made to our ring and were treated like VIPs. If you are looking to be treated like royalty before giving the correct product thats within your budget, there is no other place but Appleblom. You can also be sure that there is not any pushy unethical sales person trying to sell you something you dont need. They always put the customers needs first!

Two of my most treasured rings were tarnished by unbalanced chemicals in the hot tub. I took them to Appelbloms jewelry. Paul, the owner, treated me like a special guest. He told me he could fix my rings, he discovered a crack in one of them that I hadnt noticed, and then said he would make them like new. He finished them ahead of scheduled, called me personally to let me know they were ready, and when I picked them up, I nearly cried because they looked so beautiful again. It was a lovely experience all the way around. Appelbloms will be my jewelry store of choice as long as I live in San Mateo. Paul is the best!

The Appelblom Jewelry team is unbelievable! We came in with an idea of the engagement ring we were looking for, but ended up changing our minds several times - Fiona and Paul were so knowledgable, patient, and helpful in shaping the idea, which became the most beautiful ring! They took so much time and care during the process, and theyre just the nicest people. On top of that, they were sensitive to our budget, but never compromised the quality of the ring itself. Thank you so much for helping us create the most incredible and unique engagement ring - you surpassed our expectations!

We love Paul and team of Appelblom! I have been going to Paul for a few years now and when I needed to fix my engagement ring setting his team was very patient with me and gave me so many amazing options! They worked with me for a few months and I not once felt rushed! I absolutely love the new setting! Appelblom also has an amazing selection of necklaces and the prices are incredible! I recommend shopping at Appelblom over anywhere else including the San Francisco jewelry mart and even Dercos!

Paul and his team are wonderful! They listen, and really uunderstood what I was looking for. I got the exact piece I wanted - love it! They have a wide selection but I was interested in vintage piece and Paul paired me with a beautiful 3 stone classic ring. Thank you for you all your care and attention to detail. - Ethel
