Goldsmith

Dealing with Jewelry is a very personal thing and Trust is the key to satisfaction. No matter how small or big your transaction is being that its jewelry usually makes it very close and special. Dealing with George I had the most confidence that my gift to my precious wife will be in the best of hands and the courtesy I got from George was unsurpassed. George you have my business for life… Thank you so much for not only coming through for me at the last minute but for checking up with me later to get her feed back. That means the world.
PS. She loves it!!!

In 2014, my wife approached George with an idea for a gift for my mother’s 75^th birthday. My mother’s most precious piece of jewelry was a ring that carried birthstones for each of her 6 children. George was able to design a beautiful pendant in the same style that also carried the birthstones of her grandchildren in addition to her own. She loved it. George is a kind, caring artist and will always be our first choice.

As a neighboring business owner I stopped in to check out the shop, have a ring appraised and ask some questions about upgrading my wife’s engagement ring. George was obviously very experienced, knowledgeable and free with his sharing of information. When I returned at a later date to discuss options for my wife’s engagement ring he was very patient and never gave me a feeling of being up sold. In fact there were some maintenance procedures and a process that he applied to the rings metal to make the finishes match, as her wedding band is white gold whereas the engagement ring is platinum. He said he didn’t charge me for these «because we were nieghbors». But honestly I got the feeling he would have gone that extra mile for any client! He also returned the original small platinum prongs that held the original stone. My wife’s ring came out so much better than I expected and she was ecstatic! Thank you George

Has a very hospitable atmosphere. Gets things done in a jiffy! And always kept me posted on my watch that got water damage.

Very pleased with the work they did on my wedding ring. Highly recommended.

I inquired the resizing of a ring for my daughter at other jewelry repair/​stores and they were asking for a ridiculous price and weren’t very polite. I then found Goldsmith through Unilocal and I am beyond happy to have found George. Everything positive that I read on other reviews were so true. He is polite and patient and gave me a reasonable price. I was hoping that it would be done by a certain date so that she could wear it to a Christmas party. I know that it’s that busy time of the year and didn’t expect it to be done so quickly. The ring was done a day early and the workmanship is perfect. George also guaranteed that if the ring did not fit my daughter to not hesitate to bring it back for him to adjust. It’s such a great feeling to have that kind of trust in a jeweler.

I have never written a Unilocal review but felt compelled to write after the outstanding service I received from Mister George Cuneyt. It is great to have a skilled craftsman located here in Pleasant Hill. Mr Cuneyt provides a low pressure friendly atmosphere at his family owned shop. If you can dream it he can make it as is evidenced by the pictures on his wall displaying his own creations. He has performed repairs on my Wife’s wedding rings as well as a necklace and gold ear rings and the work was outstanding as was the turn around time

I am so excited I found this store. I have a 30 year old ring that has 10 diamonds and one diamond fell out. I went to 2 other jewelers. First jeweler quoted me S 500 dollars. My rings value is about $ 300. So passed on that and went to another jeweler in Martinez. both of these jewelers have a guy that comes in and picks up your jewelry on a certain day each week and takes it back to his shop, gives you a quote and you pick it back up at the jewelers with the quote. then if you agree to price it’s another week or two to fix. I did not want my jewelry traveling who knows where. I could not even get a price! Then I walked into Goldsmith by chance, there was George actually working on a piece of jewelry. He is the owner and the person working on your pieces that never leave the store. They have to buzz you in and it’s very safe and locked up. I was impressed and he fixed my ring for $ 89.00!!!
Then I took in a diamond and platinum 100 year old hand made ring that has been in my family. That’s how impressed I am, I can trust him. this ring could never be repaced. He showed me the worn down prongs through the magnifier so I can see myself that it needed to be done and i couldn’t live with myself if I lost a stone. The orders are ready very fast.
I AM SO GLAD I FOUND HIM.

George, the owner is super knowledgable and passionate about the quality of his work. He came highly recommended from three other jewelers in the area that couldn’t work on my ring. I brought in a WWII sentimental piece to George, a non-​precious metal ring. George treated me as if I was buying a diamond from him! He fixed what others couldn’t and turned my WWII ring into a family heirloom. George is Highly recommended for repairs and custom jewelry.

Did a very good job at fixing my ring. The stone my ring had got smashed to the side and I was able to get it fixed at a decent price. He also kindly polished my ring for me at no extra charge! He’s great!

He was great! Fixed my ring faster then the said and it was gorgeous! I will defiantly be back!

George treated my relatively simple wedding band re-​sizing and engraving like a thousand dollar job. Even after the re-​sizing still did not fit quite right (my fault, not his), he made the adjustments without hesitation or extra charge.
He is thoughtful, honest, and does outstanding work at a fair price.

George is a very nice and knowledgeable guy. I brought my Tag Heuer Aquaracer that I just purchased for a simple band adjustment with fine-​tuning, and it took him a couple minutes tops. It was only $ 10, and he gave me recommendations on how to maintain the watch and also advice on buying a Rolex from a private party. This will now be my go-​to watch place!

Five stars does not even do this place justice. I bought a pretty non traditional engagement ring and figured we would never get a band that matched. Cue a recommendation from a friend and we went to George. Not only was he extremely helpful, he was not pushy, he was mindful of cost, and you could feel he took great pride in his work.
He got the ring done under his original estimate on both time and money. The ring is beautiful, my about to be wife lit up when she saw it, and he added a very personal and, at least to me, meaningful gift for our wedding. You could tell he takes making a ring for such a big commitment seriously and is dedicated to ensuring that you are happy with the result.
I would recommend this place to any close friend, family member, and by default, any one of you looking for a good jeweler.

George is an absolute pleasure to work with. I needed a basic repair and he completled it with care and very quickly while I waited. Ended up talking to him more and plan to come back for more projects with him and my future Rolex repair needs. Really happy I found George, will be my go to for all work needed (i tend to break stuff a lot).

As a first time walk in customer, the owner George made me feel like a regular right off the bat. I showed him the heirloom ring I wanted to get sized down and he quoted me price that I thought was more than fair. When I picked up the ring just a few days later, I couldn’t believe it was the same ring!
He does great work at fair prices and is a very nice gentleman. I don’t have much jewelry to speak of but would definitely go back for any future resizing or cleaning that I need to get done.

George, the owner, is incredibly nice, knowledgable, and trustworthy. He knows what he is doing, does it quick, and without overcharging you for unnecessary things. I will definitely go to him with any of my future jewelry or watch needs.

I’m not one to write reviews usually. I signed up for Unilocal specifically to leave this review. I have a Waltham model 1883 silver pocket watch that needed work and I decided to bring it to George because of the positive reviews on Unilocal.George is a bit farther away from me than others, but I decided to give his shop a shot at the restoration. I have to tell you that the reviews are justified and well deserved. I came in to his shop a week after dropping off my watch and he said to me «you may not recognize it». He covered it with his hands while bringing it out. When he uncovered it in front of me he was indeed (almost) correct. It looked like a completely different watch. It was gorgeous and it now had a ‘heartbeat’. To say that George exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. He offered to keep my watch for another week to monitor it’s time keeping and make adjustments as necessary, or take it home and monitor it on my own. I decided to accept his offer and leave it in his capable hands
I had brought in some other jewelry during the same visit. George examined it and gave me information about the stones as well as authenticating the metal. I left 3 pieces for him to modify and 2 to appraise for insurance value. I was very pleased with the quoted prices. On this note I should mention that the quote George gave me for the pocket watch did not include problems that were discovered upon closer investigation. George immediately phoned me to explain what was happening and like a true professional honored his original quote price. As for the jewelry I brought in to be modified, George thoroughly and patiently explained what he would do and made suggestions which I accepted.
I am not generally a trusting sort, but I do trust this man with my jewelry and value his advice. If you need anything from batteries replaced on the spot to detailed modifications/​fixes to your jewelry try this shop and you will understand, like I did, why this man has so many stellar reviews. If I could give 6 stars I would.
P. S. I should have mentioned that this shop has a fantastic selection of unique and gorgeous jewelry for sale.

Awesome place! Brought in my watch for resizing, being one of the most complicated watch makers to work with, he adjusted it in not even 10 mins on the spot. Didn’t have to drop it off or come back.
Great guy, great stories and very friendly and knows customer service!
Will be back for sure!

George is a fantastic goldsmith, both in his craft and his service. When Like New in Walnut Creek did a disappointing job with a custom request of mine I went to see George.
He was patient and completed my work in a week when I said there was no hurry (11 pieces of jewelry to clean, solder, polish)! Wonderful, I will be back with more custom work in the future.
