I had the privilege of working with Yoli at Harold Stevens and I have to tell you it was awesome! The backstory to the design of my ring is that my husband passed away and the thought of not wearing my wedding ring at some point in the future was just heartbreaking. So I came up with the idea to take the diamond from my engagement ring and surround it with the birthstones of my husband and I and our daughters to transition it to a Family Ring.
I wear it on my right index finger and no matter what my future holds I will never stop wearing this precious and beautifully made ring. I couldn't have done it without Harold Stevens and the care and compassion of Yoli. I will always use them for any future jewelry purchases. And one thing I want to highlight is that I'm not a rich person. I'm a middle class woman and I never felt out of place or that my business wasn't welcomed. They were warm and kind and I loved the whole experience.

Harold Stevens is my favorite jewelry store in San Diego, I have many beautiful pieces from them over the years. I recently visited them when my wedding ring was stolen, Yolanda helped me create a custom ring incorporated stones that represent each of my children and grandchildren and my husband, it turned out amazing. Yolanda gives you personal service, listens to your ideas and helps you create your special piece of jewelry.

Incredible experience with Ryan and everyone involved. I am glad I found them, and was very impressed with the process, and the value provided. A good friend of mine also purchased an engagement ring from Ryan. I will surely be a repeat customer, and recommend Harold Stevens to anyone I know.

Had a great experience buying an engagement ring at Harold Stevens. Worked directly with Ryan who even opened up on a Saturday for me to come in - not to mention teach me everything about diamonds! Easy communication, and really nice team.
