My fiance and I visited ER Sawyer to search for my engagement ring at my friend Lorelei’s recommendation. Judy worked with us to find exactly the ring styling and stone to meet our criteria – she listened to our wants and kept within our budget -my ring is beautiful and unique! We were so impressed with the professional and courteous service which Judy provided that we returned to Sawyer for both wedding bands – And again Judy assisted to find designs with which we are so pleased. When I had to get my engagement ring resized Judy assisted me to determine the correct sizing and even got the ring completed ahead of estimate. I returned to Judy for accessory pieces to complement my bridal dress. Judy introduced  me to the freshwater pearl designs from Honora. I selected a set of stack bracelets which looked beautiful with my dress! Have since purchased from Judy two Honora freshwater pearl necklaces – they pair with my stack bracelets and are a great look with any outfit. Sawyer’s is absolutely worth the drive from Castro Valley…we love the personal service which Judy provides and appreciate our time in wine country!

Hometown business since the 1870’s. Top notch customer service. Selection of jewelry is not big city tremendous. And the styles tend towards middle of the road. There’s no big inventory of cutting edge wacky ultra-modern designs here. What they carry is good quality at fair prices. Bambie, the spouse, purchased a $1000 ring that she wore for just 24 hours when she decided that it was not comfortable. We returned, explained the discontent and our money was promptly refunded. There was nothing else in the display cases of similar style that called out. The search for a topaz & diamond ring continues. Highly recommended on the strength of the wonderful employees.

I've been enjoying ER Sawyer many years for new purchases, redesigning, resizing, new designs for family heirlooms, appraisals, fixes& cleaning. Their service has always been excellent. They are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Such a nice, tidy store tucked away in 4th Street–a pleasant surprise. I recently visited this shop to have a gold signet ring engraved–or should I say re-engraved. I was assisted by Morgan, a quite knowledgeable young lady who helped me with font selection and gave me valuable advice about what I could expect re machine engraving vs. hand-engraving. She and Leslie did an excellent job for me and were communicative, cheerful and enthusiastic. These are the kinds of things that will keep me coming back in the future.

My wife and I had our wedding rings designed 14 years ago, and Doug and the team have provided us with great service from a graduation gift for my son to my Bulova watches. The team at ER Sawyer is always friendly and helpful and they have actual goldsmiths on site 6 days a week.   I am a customer for life!

My fiance had my engagement ring set here and they did an amazing job! I have gone in a few times since to have my ring sized and to look at wedding bands. Both times Leslie has been incredibly nice and helpful. I can often be indecisive and she was patient and happy to help me make a decision. When I took my ring in to have it sized, I dropped it off at 11 and they called at 2 to tell me it was done. I was impressed with the speed and quality of work they did. It was spectacular. They have a new client for life.

My wedding ring needed to be resized. I did some research and found ER Sawyer is the only jeweler in town that is part of the American Gem Society. My husband and I didn’t feel comfortable to leave it with just ANY jeweler (especially since my husband put in quite a bit of money for it). It gave me confidence that I was giving my ring to a jeweler that adheres to an ethical standard and that I know they will do the work right. Judy was very helpful. After she measured current ring size and put in the work order, she took the time to answer all my questions and show me some pieces they offer. It also gave me a chance to get to know and see for myself why the other yelpers gave this place positive reviews. I had a pleasant experience just to even browse around this store and not feel pushed to buy. I received the ring about a week and a half later. The ring fits beautifully and looks perfect! I’m happy I can start wearing it again. I would definitely come here again in the future. (Maybe I’ll convince my husband to get my engagement ring re-set here for our wedding anniversary… wink wink).

E.R. Sawyers is the BEST!!! My love and I had our rings done for our wedding (and my engagement ring) there. Doing and Ame are fantastic! Nate, he is a real gem Our special day was a Christmas dinner surprise and the team did everything in their power to help us keep the secret! The expedited our rings, spent countless hours on prep AND Ame even dressed me up in beautiful earrings, a bracket and a right hand ring to wear for the big day! Talk about feeling like a superstar. When we went in today to thank them for ALL of their hard work and letting us barrow the jewels (and trusting us with them!! There’s not many places that would do that, ever. That’s family owned!) they were just as happy for us as we were to be married! If I needed any swaying at all for a place I’d buy my Jewelry

My mother gave me a pair of earrings worn by her when she came from Greece to the United States in 1949 to marry my father. I don’t know how long she wore the earrings before that but I am guessing a long time. I have had them for over 50 years myself but they were broken and worn. They have tremendous sentimental value to me. I brought them to Leslie at E.R. Sawyer Jewelers. She immediately understood how important the earrings are to me especially because I want to pass them down to my granddaughter someday. Leslie did a fantastic job on the earrings. They turned out perfect and I am so thankful to her. She is so personable and caring. I highly recommend E.R. Sawyer Jewelers!
