No.3

I bought a ring from this shop last year when visiting San Francisco. Marcus provided excellent customer service!!! Not only that he was very patient with me through your the selection process, but he asked a lot of good questions to help me figure out the perfect piece. Most importantly, he didn’t try to sell me the more expensive piece. His goal was to provide me with a great satisfaction from the purchase — a piece of jewelry that really speaks to me. I ended up purchasing a ring that was three times less the price of the contender, but I really love it!!! I know that if I were to buy the other piece, I would not be as in love with it one year later.
They also have an amazing taste in the pieces and designers that they represent. Highly recommend this shop, especially if you are looking into buying a meaningful piece of jewelry!

Went to No. 3 to find an engagement ring, couldn’t be happier with the decision on all accounts.

This is a review from the boyfriend/fiancée/husband’s point of view so if you’re a lady it might not be too interesting for you. For all you gents out there: strap in ’cause I’m about to take you for a ride down Easy Street, USA.
The truth is I almost feel bad revealing one of San Francisco’s best kept secrets. Here’s the TLDR:
No.3 will save you from giving your significant other another boring, bland, risky piece of jewelry… EVER AGAIN. On top of that you will get great recommendations and excellent service.
You know that feeling you get when you’re hunting for jewelry and you’re like, «Hmm, I wonder if [insert picky SO’s name here] will like this?» Yeah I know that feeling too… guess what, the answer is NO she will not like whatever it is the Nordstrom/Bloomingdale’s sales associate is trying to sell you. Why? Because the last time you spent this much time thinking about buying something it was for that Big Green Egg bbq you will never use.
Every piece of jewelry in this store is carefully curated and selected from modern, fun, and interesting designers. Jenny Chung, the owner of No.3, is an SF local and travels the world looking for stuff to sell here. She has very likely personally met each and every designer she carries. That says a lot.
On top of all that she is an easy person to work with and she makes you feel SAFE. She’ll ask you about what your SO currently wears and she will help you pick out nice things in your price range. You can start with something small here and move your way up.
Jenny (and Marcus) make me look like a superhero on birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, whatever. The crazy part is, my girlfriend (now fiancée) is very picky when it comes to jewelry designers and yet I’m still hitting home runs.
Which brings me to the last and final part of my review — engagement rings. Dum dum dummmm! Two words that will strike fear into any man’s heart. Yeah, you *could* go to that random jewelry store in the basement of whatever that gigantic building is called on 8^th and Brannan… or you could come to No.3 and not feel like you are being sold a used car.
I bought my engagement ring through No.3 and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have done better if my fiancée picked the ring herself. And yes you could buy some placeholder ring and let your fiancée swap it later but that’s not very romantic. Plus she’s going to ask you for a massive upgrade when you do the trade-in…not fun.
I still went to the jewelry Walmart of SF and learned everything I could about diamonds before I made a purchasing decision. I knew what the price range was and sent all my quotes to Jenny. Ultimately I decided to buy my stone through No.3 because their personal diamond dealer has great rates.
The point is, if you’re going to drop $$$$ on an engagement ring that your future wife will wear forever (hopefully), do you want it to look like every other ring out there — or do you want it to be just a little bit more unique with more thought put into it? Check out this store!

This is such a cute shop, a hidden gem. Jenny has amazing customer service as well as great taste. I definitely feel like she had an eye for what I was looking for. The pieces are great quality and I wear my rings everywhere I go with tons of compliments. Thank you No 3!

So glad we found this gem! Our shopping experience, from beginning to end, was amazing. Jenny, the owner, was helpful and knowledgeable, answering our numerous questions ranging from ring sizing to the story of each jewelry maker. After purchasing our set, there was a 6 – 8 week waiting period (the pieces we chose were made to order and come from NY) in which Jenny kept us at ease by being communicative, ensuring that we were updated at every step of the way. When it came time for pick up, Marcus was friendly and informative about the maintenance of our pieces (a breath of fresh air compared to some less than stellar experiences I’ve had after handing over my credit card at other shops). Overall, a fun and enjoyable jewelry shopping experience. So happy with our purchase! Will definitely be recommending this place to our friends/​family!

We came here to find our wedding bands and the selection and service at No.3 was exactly what we needed. Both Jenny and Marcus really worked with us to find pieces that we’d love, would be comfortable for our lifestyles, as well as great bang for the buck. We both love the custom rings we finalized on, and have received countless compliments on our unique pieces!

Bought a cute ring from here, and a couple weeks later I noticed the rhodium finish was camping off. I came to the shop to complain and the guy told me it was because I had washed my hands with soap. When you pay more for a ring you at least expect to able to wash your hands with it, but alright.
I ended up buying another gold plated ring, which was around $ 250. This time I was super careful and didn’t even get the ring wet. I also took extra care of the other one. But unfortunately, even with all the care, the first ring completely lost its finish to a cheap metal and looked like I had bought from target. And the gold one started loosing the gold platted finish and I could see the bronze underneath.
I took both rings to a jeweler in my country that is a family friend for years to fix the rings. And he confirmed that this shop also lied about the ring having a black diamond, which was actually a black onyx. Also, the other stone It was not a real moonstone.
So, if you don’t mind overpaying for cute pieces that will only last you a couple months at the most, this shop if for you. Also, don’t let them fool you with the stones and materials. If you like your jewelry to be a little more durable, avoid this shop.

A shop dedicated just to jewelry from the owner of the clothing store Acrimony in Hayes Valley. Jenny has great, modern taste and she fills this little shop with really unique jewelry lines. New pieces rotate in frequently. It’s a mix of different price points so there’s something for everyone. No. 3 also does consultations for custom engagement rings from designers such as Bliss Lau. Come frequently and enjoy a little bling for yourself.

I stumbled on this shop when getting some ice cream from Swenson’s and just from the outside both me and my boyfriend could tell I’d like this shop. Not only did I like it but I loved it! This is my new jewelry shop. The prices are generally higher then I spend on jewelry but all the designers and pieces we thoughtfully curated. I’m sure to drop so more cash there soon. Owner was super helpful and didn’t feel pressured at all to purchase any pieces then. Returned via online to get the earrings I had eyed.

No. 3 is run by the same kind folks that run Acrimony & Acre SF. As a guy who knows nothing about jewelry, what to buy for what occasion and what is trendy — I find the team @ No. 3 to be insightful and extremely attentive. The best thing here is that even though the inventory is designer and high-​end, the value you get out of the entire purchasing experience is special and great. I can see myself purchasing jewelry for some of the most important moments of my life; moreover the times I’ve shopped there — I’ve come out with more ideas for future purchases. Great experience, if you’re in the market for an engagement ring or whatever along those lines, you need to check this place out.

No. 3 is a fantastic new jewelry store and owner Jenny and her hand-​picked selection is just as wonderful. The store is quaint with a beautiful garden and strands of large globed lights to welcome you. Jenny was just as warm as the store she created and her enthusiasm, knowledge, and eye for both the quality and selection of pieces is infectious. The prices range, so there is something for everybody. Definitely a must!
