Dropped off a Silver Dollar that I inherited that the family had made into a Keychain. Wanted to see if I needed to get it appraisal.What a wonderful surprise when Bill Collins the owner called me. He is the guru of the coins and was happy to help me out.He explained to me that the coin didnt have much value, but my family had spent about $150.00 in silver to make it into a Keychain. I laughed and stated yes that sounds like my family, I personally just would of taken just the coin.Bill was SO nice and educated me on the coin which was very interesting. People like Bill in this field are hard to find these days. So if you have some coin collection you need help with, give him a call!They are a family run business and have been in business for a very long time!Remember...shop small businesses as much as you can!
Wonderful, family owned business with beautiful pieces. Have been going here for years, since we purchased our wedding rings here in late 90s. The best place to get your childs ears pieced, as well.
The best jeweler in the SD area! My husband originally visted this jeweler to have a family diamond put in an engagement ring setting, and they did a beautiful job. We went on to purchase both of our wedding bands here. We were happy with the pricing and every staff member is so kind, patient, and helpful.We have since moved to a different state, and we had an issue with my husbands wedding band. From a distance, Chelsea helped us through the warranty process, and sent us clear instructions in order to replace my husbands ring.I wish we were still local so we could come here to get our jewelry cleaned. We will give this amazing family company our business any chance we get.
My experience at Collins Family Jewelers was exceptional! Delaney was a delight to work with and was so patient. I chose to get the service of adding beads to the inside of my ring since my knuckle is bigger than my finger which had caused my ring to slide around. Delaney answered all of my questions and helped me figure out the best way to adjust my wedding band to have my vision come to life. She also assisted me in choosing a wedding band for my fiancé. Great service all around and I am looking forward to picking up the rings when they are ready!
My mom started going here over 15 years ago for multiple repairs and told me about how good shes been treated so I came here to start a fix on my family heirloom engagement ring and its literally one of my favorite places for jewelry! Such kind and sweet people who definitely know how to make you sparkle and feel like family. Wonderful customer service and I couldnt be happier with my set!
An absolute gem of a place, owned by wonderful folks who are sweet, trustworthy and very knowledgeable about antique, rare & vintage jewelry, as well as modern, stylish pieces.
Outstanding family jewelry business for retail purchases, repairs and estimates. High end quality at a very reasonable price.They are open on Saturdays but closed on Sundays and Mondays. There is currently in store shopping. Masks are required.
Family owned and operated, excellent service and selection. Fair prices for gold and old jewelry, and they take consignment. Brianna is great to work with.
I always love the experience of shopping at this wonderful multigenerational family business. The staff are knowledgeable and they are flexible with what works best for you. I highly recommend this be the place you give your business, as its the place my mom, my sisters, and I go for our jewelry needs. I also use them for cleaning my watch and band and changing our watch batteries. I hope they will be here for years to come!
Great work, fair price.
Wanted to get a pair of earrings for a friend. They were very helpful and patient. Helped me pick out a set that she loves. Highly recommend
Very nice staff with warm service! Prices for pendants are great!
Love this place!! I drove from East County just to come here. Nice, professional, and clean. Ill drive the distance no matter where I am.
Love the staff at Collins. Very friendly and helpful.
We came for our 6month olds ear piercing. The owner knows his stuff, he made us very comfortable and explained the entire process and the care instructions after the piercing. 45$ for the entire process. We took an appointment before we went.. I would recommend this to everyone. I am glad I went to them.
I was driving down Mira Mesa looking for big 5 sporting goods it was on my right and I was in the far left lane so I turned into the shopping center and something stopped me and I heard go into this store. I did and the moment I walked in the energy was awesome. I told Chelsea that I was looking for a ring for the love of my life! Were getting married in September she was kind, helpful and super patience to make a long story short! They are amazing and so is his ring! Perfection!
Extremely helpful. Super friendly service!
Their customer service was wonderful! Along with the service they provided, I am a customer moving forward.
Such a nice family and everyone they hire seems equally nice. Shopping and getting repairs is always a fun experience. Weve been going to them for many years now.
The first time I stepped in here was when I was researching and shopping for my wifes engagement ring. I worked with Chelsea and she is amazing! She helped narrow my choices down based off descriptions I was providing. She was very patient and accommodating. She offered great opinions and was really positive. She didnt try to push or up sell anything. She helped me pick the perfect ring for my wife. I have since been back there with my wife to get our wedding bands. I also purchased my wife some other jewelry from them. My wife stops in when she can to get her rings cleaned for free. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for jewelry. Ask for Chelsea! This is a family-owned business and every single member of the family that works there is friendly and nice.
This review is strictly for ears piercing.As all the reviews suggested we ended up here for our 8-month daughters ears piercing. The owner Bill, great human being did the procedure with lot of care and warmth. It’s hard to believe how he is not a pediatrician doctor.He is super busy, so please do take an appointment. Starting from 2-months, you can pretty much pierce anytime, but my advice between 6-10 months. When baby can sit in your lap and can take some force while holding. Price is $45 for the service, very reasonable.Procedure: He takes time to explain the procedure, very patiently. Then you select the ear stud which goes in to the piercing gun. They have two types on several colors. Once you choose the piece, the procedure starts.You need two adults other than Bill. One to hold in the lap and other to hold the baby face in 45 degrees. Then Bill holds the ear and mark with the pen and get approval from you. He makes amazing judgement on where to put the mark. Now the procedure repeats and this time, it is gun shot. I have posted pictures to show how this procedure is done. He gives good time between piercing each ear for the baby to recover. The baby cries mostly because she is being held in very uncomfortable position and not because of the pain. My baby stopped crying in 5 minutes and she was normal.The after care is very simple, first couple of days not rubbing ears. After 2 days rotate the ear ring for a week one time a day. Bill explains very clearly and slowly.Total process takes around 30 min, very simple and honest. We would surely go to Collins for our daughters jewelry purchase.Again, I am wondering how Bill is not a pediatrician doctor.
OMG this place!! Simply the best customer service ever!! I first came to have my wedding ring fixed and felt like I was their number one customer! Because it’s family run, it has a very home-feel and comfortable ambiance. I felt very safe leaving my most prized possession with them to be repaired. I had to go back about 6 months after the first repair because ring was starting to break again. I was a little annoyed because it should have been down right the first time but the welcoming greeting and the fact they genuinely remembered me was great. They fixed my ring no charge (of course) and a complimentary re dipping too! This was all in 2017/2018. Recently, I had called about a setting I saw by a designer and wanted to know if I could preview it. Brianna was amazing and for just the shipping, I was able to preview this setting I had had my eye on for many years! Good thing I do because it wasn’t as great in person as I had thought! A couple months later I found another setting I liked and Brianna ordered the preview for me. My husband and I went in and WOW! It was amazing. Since it is a big expense, I knew my husband and I would need to wait a while before purchasing.Im a hard girl to surprise but! Brianna made it so easy for my husband to open a credit account, order the setting and have it all set and wrapped to surprise me with for Christmas! Since my stone needed to be set in still, Briana made sure it happened quickly after they reopened from the holidays! I’m beyond impressed with the level of customer service and how much we felt like we were treated like family! Brianna went above any expectation to make this a reality!
As a professional Realtor who prides myself on providing incredible customer service, I have to recognize when I experience this myself. Staff is so friendly, so attentive, and so professional.
Exceptional friendly service from the moment you walk in the door. Owners are beyond friendly, and I was in and out very quickly.
As a first time jewelry buyer, I had done a lot of research before stepping in to any jewelry store. I had taken a look at multiple jewelers in San Diego, but Briana at Collins Jewelry treated me like family. I had a specific goal in mind when entering the store and Briana worked with me instead of upselling a different product like many jewelers do. My experience was terrific from the day I walked in to the day I picked up my engagement ring and wedding band set. My fiance is extremely happy with the ring (she had never seen it before I proposed)! The family jeweler experience at Collins is a cut above your typical big box jewelry store.Briana let me know that my ring can always be brought in for a quick clean and shine, for life! She is also responded very quickly to my emails about sizing the ring down slightly even after completing my purchase.If you know exactly what youre looking for or need some help understanding diamond grading and various designs/styles, Collins is here to help make sure your big day goes just as planned!
Chelsea was so helpful wine we were looking for a new setting for my engagement ring. She had great advice on how to achieve the kind of look I was going for. Im thrilled with my ring. I plan to take advantage of the free ring cleaning. My fiance and I are probably going to get our wedding bands theyre also.
Friendly and knowledgeable family members and staff in a controlled access showroom. Great selection and competitive prices, great service. As a bonus they are a very dog friendly business where your pet is welcome.
My experience, though brief, was very positive. I just came in to get the battery in my watch replaced, but from start to finish, each person was polite and professional. Very highly recommended.
Fast, reliable, friendly, neighborhood Jewelers. They have been in Mira Mesa for decades. I have taken many heirloom pieces in for repair and I have never been disappointed. Prices are great and their custom work is incredible.
Buying Jewelry should be personal. They have been the best Jewelers Ive experienced in quality, price and customer service. A few other places Ive been to and bought from (Kays, Ben Bridge, Tiffanys) did not meet those standards. 6 years ago I shopped around for my wifes engagement ring and couldnt find what I wanted until my Mom brought me to her Jeweler and introduced me to Briana. Even though it took me a few days to find that perfect diamond that fit my budget, she was excellent with service and expertise. To this day my wife and I love her beautiful ring (and each other of course) and I havent had to go to another Jewler since. Today I was there and still receive that great experience so they deserve a great review that is long over due.
My first time to this place and they are very accommodating. I recommend this place.
They have a good selection but are only really nice if they know you. Everytime I go here alone, Im treated like Im inconveniencing them but if I go here with a person who knows the owners they treat me amazing. Theyre putting too much effort into keeping old customers, which I understand is important, rather than making new customers feel loyal and welcome.
Had custom ring designed. Wax Approval Date - missed by the company and no phone call to me. I called 2 days later and went into the business, confirmed price and completion date. Completion Date was missed and no phone call to me. I had to call again and the date was missed by approx 6 days. Initial Discount Offered was the price point I had confirmed when I went in prior to completion of ring, and when I stated that the sales clerk looked at me like I was crazy. I had to ask for my leftover diamonds as they were not in my package and there were approx 21 of them. Horrible experience, would not recommend. The discount that I received should have been at least 25% based on missed deadlines, zero communication. Beware!
Beautiful jewelry, wonderful helpful friendly staff. I wouldnt shop anywhere else. They always have the perfect thing.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Bill, pierced our infant daughters ears and instanly made us feel at ease.
Went in and out got watch battery replaced. They do a lot of jewelery fixing. Highly recommended
Great Service!Went there with my broken watch bracelet and they fixed it immediately. Charged me only $5!!Highly recommend this place!
I have been to this jewelry store numerous times and have yet to have anything related to bad service. I have purchased Engagement ring, wedding band and recently a custom pair of Earrings. the quality and brands they sell are top notch! I will not go anywhere else for jewelry!!
Had a few links removed from my new watch. It was a smooth experience.
My ring turned out absolutely beautiful ♡If your in the market... stop in and talk Brianna. Absolute gem to work with!
Collins Family Jewelers helped me in finding a Christmas jewelry gift. Very pleasant experience.
They have always been great. They have have taken care of my patents and me. They are the best!!
I went in for a basic watch repair. Even though the cost of repair was under $10 they were very friendly and seemed to appreciate our business. I hope to do business with them in the future.
Fantastic service and honest dealing by a local family. Excellent for watch batteries with warranty, jewelry repair and new items.
Santa delivered a beautiful opal ring from Collins Family Jewelers! Thank you for treating his so well!
I know the family. Good jewelry at good prices everyday
Really nice family owner jeweler. Good selection and friendly service.
Brought in a watch for a battery change. They were friendly and fast. They even set my watch to the current time and date
Super friendly. Had done my daughters ear piercing when she was 2.
Not a good experience. First they have a security door which they take their time to buzz you in after you push the button. If your going to inconvenience people then be on their time not yours. The selection of mens Jewelry especially chains is very poor. I feel like I wasted my time for such a long drive for such a poor experience.
Awesome Family Jewelry Store...friendly helpful with the Customer in mind...
Went with a friend to have a watch appraised. The staff was very knowledgeable and did thorough research to answer what was needed.
Friendly service!

Very reliable and honest
Fantastic 👍
Great service
Expensive but quality
Awesome
Great owners.
