My family has been doing business with this place for over 20 years, since it was at its previous location and I have only heard great things. Recently, my grandmother gave me a Rolex that use to be my grandfathers. It needed two additional links and a cleaning. I was told to take it Craig Evan Small. I love watches and know quite a bit about Rolex’s, but I still wanted to learn as much as I can. I took the watch there and they told me all about it and then they ordered me two links and wounded the watch. I went in on Saturday and I got the watch back on Wednesday, which was very quick. The two links were $100, which for a Rolex is a decent price. I was not aware that Rolex’s have a sort of electrical current that runs through it, so if you do not wear it, it starts losing time. That was also explained to me. I have not boughten anything from here but I did look around and the prices were very comparable and it is always nice to give your money to a local place rather then a department store or some equivalent. If you love watches, you should check out Craig Evan Small.
My friend is looking for an engagement ring so we went hunting to several shops for a vintage ring. I decided to Google for shops in West Hollywood and this was the first one on the list.I’m so glad we went there Jennifer was so patient and knowledgeable making the task of getting information for my friend’s boyfriend so easy and painless.Thank you for treating my friend with such respect and kindness… (I hope she gets the ring we saw there).
I put my husband to the challenge during the engagement ring shopping–I showed him a few antique rings I liked and told him he couldn’t buy me any of those. I wanted to push him to find me something from his heart, something he could feel proud choosing himself. I also liked watching him get nervous. Ha! ?Luckily, he found the perfect ring at Craig Evan Small. He told them what he had in mind for me, and they instinctively knew he was seeking something unique with a beautiful setting. Jennifer recommended a ring that had just come in. In fact, it hadn’t even been added to their inventory yet! It turned out to be the perfect ring. The next time we were in L.A., we went in to have the ring resized, and Craig, who has the sharpest eyes ever Titanium jewelry, noticed that my Rolex had a small chip on the crystal face. He offered to fix and clean my watch for a low fee, and they shipped both the ring and watch back to me in New York for free. ?The watch, which was my mom’s in the 1980s, looked like new cz jewelry, and the ring has received endless compliments. Even my mom loves it, and she’s definitely a hard one to please.
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff with an amazing selection of interesting and beautiful jewelry.
Located in the Antiquarius Jewelry Mall on Beverly, this shop deals in fine estate and antique jewelry and watches. ?They have a pretty big (relative to many places) selection of gorgeous antique engagement rings and the on-site gemologist, Jennifer, is very helpful and friendly. ?Give them (and the Antiquarius Mall) a shot if you’re hunting for something shiny and old.
I’ve been looking for an estate/vintage jewelry store to trust for years and finally found a wonderful one — ?Craig Evan Small. To try them out I brought in a dainty old diamond band ring for sizing, a little worried about what would happen to the tiny back of the ring. ?Jennifer was fantastic! ?She made me feel comfortable right away and said very nice things about my ring. ?Since I brought it in close to the New Year she said it would take a little longer than usual — which still only meant a week of waiting. ?She called me as soon as it arrived and when I picked it up I was thrilled. ?The ring was so much more beautiful than when I brought it in! ?Their jeweler cleaned and polished it up like new (quite a feat for a 150 year old ring). ?The sizing job was perfect, just seamless, and I can’t recommend them enough. ?And the cost was beyond reasonable too — just $30.I also took a look at many of their beautiful offerings, and to a vintage or antique jewelry lover this place is like heaven. ?The prices are a bit steep, but that’s what you’d expect from a store of this caliber and address. ?Still, if you’re looking for a vintage engagement ring, watch or any piece of really special and unique jewelry, this is a wonderful place to at least start, and maybe pick up just what you always wanted…or never even knew you wanted.
