Valencia of Pacific Beach

Really great shoes and not so expensive it kills your cash flow! I loved the variety of styles and choices and felt like I could spend all afternoon in this store drooling over all these cute shoes!

Worst shopping place on Garnet, they dont even do store credit! I would never go back nor do I suggest anyone even walk into the store. Everything is overpriced and they do not speak English!!! I bought a dress from there for a costume party which was cancelled and I went back the next day to return it or get store credit andthey refused to even work with me. And to be honest, nothing would have been resolved since I could not make out a word they were trying to say! I’d honestly say EEEK! it doesnt even deserve a star!

My sister was visiting from Columbus, OH and I took her to shop along Garnet Ave. We stopped into Valencia and my sister picked out a really cool green purse with skulls on it and a necklace.
When the sale associate picked up the purse to ring it up, she dropped the necklace and it broke — luckily I heard it break and she must have seen the look on my face and asked ‘oh, it’s broken, do you still want to buy it?’ OBVIOUSLY, the answer was no.
My sister paid for the purse and I bought a beautiful pair of earrings.
The next day, we went back for an errand and my sister wanted to go back to Valencia to pick up another purse.
Lo and behold, the necklace was BACK ON THE RACK!
It was obvious where the associate tried to super glue the gem into place. We asked for a discount and the best she could offer was 10%.
She THEN said that the day before, she offered to fix it and offered us a discount at that time… FLAT OUT LIE. I piped in and advised no such conversation took place.
She continued to argue her point.
My point is this — they have no empathy and lack severely in customer service.
Just be warned — their price points are awesome, but you do get what you pay for, and that includes the ‘customer service’ you will experience.

The owner is so nice! I bought a purse here and it ended up ripping in a week. She let me pick out another purse free of charge. Also have gotten the cutest diamond wallet. If they aren’t in stock she can try to order it for you. Bought a watch and they sized it and removed the links for me right there. Great customer service.

I love this place! It’s definitely one of my favorite places to shop for earrings. I only like to wear studs and they have a whole wall of them! I’ve bought at least 6 pairs of earrings from this place since they’ve opened. And the quality is better than what you would get at Forever 21 in my opinion so keep in mind that their prices are higher than Forever 21 and H&M as well. They have so much variety, they also sell shoes and bags and scarves. Basically, all accessories! I would also rather get my accessories here rather than at Pink Zone, next door because like I said, their quality is pretty good. Check this place out if you’re in the area!

Definitely one of my favorite jewelry shops, next to So Good. They have a really good selection and their jewelry does not look cheap. They also have a variety of other accessories (hats, hair pieces, purses, scarves, even shoes). Pricing is very reasonable and I’m always happy with my purchase.
I took my rating down two stars because of the customers service. The owner is a nice lady, but whenever I walk into the store I feel like she has her eyes on me AT ALL TIMES. She has another younger girl working there, as well. The first time I went in there to try on some shoes and upon telling the girl that I wanted to find a comfortable pair of pumps, she commented «oh…you can’t walk in high heels?!» That’s not how you treat a customer! I proceeded to try on a couple of pairs and felt like both her and the owner really wanted to make a sale to me. Then I went back again last week to try on some shoes and noticed one of the shoes felt wobbly when I walked in it. So I notified the girl working there, that there is something wrong with that pair and she literally did NOTHING. She just nodded and continued with whatever she was doing. Then I asked her if they had another pair in the same size, and she said that’s the only pair they have and continued to tell me that I can ask the owner if I want to. Okay???
Bottom line: DON’T go here for customer service. DO go here if you like finding bargains on awesome accessories and don’t mind a pair of eyes watching your every move.

I had been looking for gifts for my bridesmaids for about three months. I wanted to get them jewelry, but the theme of my wedding is «circle of love» so it was very difficult to find circle jewelry. Everything I found was outrageously priced, and none of it was very attractive.
About a month ago, I went into Valencia and found tons of jewelry that would work perfectly. So I brought my fiancé back, and we picked out what we wanted. They only had five of each piece that I wanted, so I asked the woman working there if I could have them order me one more of each piece. She was happy to do it, and she took down my information because the owner was out of town for the week. The very next day, I got a call saying they could have everything ready for pick up in just a few days. I unfortunately was heading out of town for my bridal shower on the pick-​up day. When I called them back to tell them I would have to postpone picking them up, they were so sweet and accommodating, telling me I could pick them up whenever I wanted.
Needless to say, I just picked up my jewelry and the situation was every bit as pleasant as my previous encounters. Everything was ready to go. They took it all out and showed it to me, and it was all still in the plastic so I knew it was new. They had discounted everything, and even gave me an extra set. I ended up paying about $ 30 less than I thought I would pay, and the amount I anticipated already seemed like a GREAT deal! They were so kind and genuine, asking me about my wedding and packaging everything in little gift bags. As an added bonus, the woman who rang me up checked my ID, which always makes me feel great considering my credit card information was just stolen a week ago! :)
I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with my experience here!!! When you are paying $ 70 for your bridesmaids to get manis/​pedis, but still want to get them jewelry without totally breaking the bank, this is DEFINITELY the place!

Great store and I can’t even wear jewelery because I am allergic! I got a pair of sunglasses there though and even though they have a no refund/​exchange policy they let me switch them to a different pair that was more suiting. They have beautiful stone jewelery, tons of bling and some nice bags too. Staff are super nice and selection is huge, they will do really well in the summer when the tourists come.
