Jolie’ Designs

I have been coming to Jolie for about 3 years now to have my jewelry repaired. I never buy jewelry but I receive pieces as gifts and they all seem to break periodically. While the repairs aren’t super-​inexpensive ($ 30 or so each time) or fast (usually it takes at least a week), I am always pleased with the results. I’ve had rings, bracelets, and necklaces repaired at various times. I tend to wear the same things everyday so I guess they break for that reason. The parking can be a bit tough to find in downtown Manhattan Beach so sometimes I just park at the library on 15^th/​Highland and walk down. Occasionally, one can find a meter or just double-​park and call them to have the item ready to go. As I said in the beginning of my review, I’ve never bought jewelry but Jolie has some nice designs and I would look here if I were in the market. I always enjoy chatting with Helen, the owner. Highly recommend Jolie!

Be careful when purchasing jewelry as a gift from Jolie in Manhattan beach. They will not accept returns. My husband learned the hard way when he purchased a gift for me and they would not allow us to return it. Michael was very pleasant during the process but in the end we still have an item we do not want.

Jolie Designs is fantastic! My wife and I first met Michael when we were shopping for her engagement ring. We wanted to get an old fashioned style that is difficult to find today, but Jolie had it. We also wanted to make sure that she could get a matching wedding band that would stack nicely with the engagement ring. That was no problem at all. Michael was very helpful and patient with us and the rings came back wonderful.
Then it was time for my ring and I really couldn’t find a wedding band that I was happy with. My wife’s ring looks like a bunch of leaves and flowers and I wanted something that could kind of go with that theme, but obviously look more masculine. Ultimately, I went back to Michael to have a custom ring made. The ring was designed to look like several intertwining branches made of different colors of gold. It came out looking amazing!
Great new location in Manhattan Beach, excellent staff, beautiful jewelry, and a fair price — I don’t think it gets any better!

Wow… This place is a hidden gem. I have been working with Helen for the past few months to design my one-​of-​the kind aniversary ring. And I tell you, the exprience couldn’t be easier. Watching the ring built from a scratch design on paper (several inspirations from jewelry magazines), to wax model and the final casting product was the best. Helen was there every step of the way to explain every question that I had. She educated me about the 4Cs of the diamond and worked with my budget. The ring was breathtaking and what made it more special is that I was involved in making this ring. Thanks, Helen and people in Jolie Design. I will be a customer for life.
