3800 San Pablo Dam Rd Suite C, El Sobrante“My fiancee and I worked with Pepper to select an engagement ring and she was so patient, knowledgeable, and lovely to work with! I didn’t come in with any idea what my ideal ring might be, and Pepper had great intuition and was very quick to pick up on my taste. Pave had such an amazing and unique selection and I’m so happy with the ring I got from them!”
“This is strictly a repair place, not a jewelry store, in a strip mall that features massage parlors. Don't be put off by the unprepossessing atmosphere. John is a master craftsman who knows his business. I had a saga with an antique garnet and diamond ring that had prongs sticking up. First I took it to Pavé which had repaired earrings for me for $35. As I noted in an earlier review, they would charge $675 to repair the prongs, and recommended removing the garnet for another $325. That was about the price of the ring when I bought it, so I decided against letting them repair it. I took it to Kim's Watches and Jewelry Repair, where I had had a bracelet untangled for only $8. Mr. Kim didn't replace the prongs, but he bended them, for $40. I thought the ring was fine but the prongs began sticking up again. Mr. Kim again worked on the ring, and charged me nothing. But I knew the problem wasn't solved. When I saw the positive reviews for Underhill Studio, I took the ring to John. He carefully examined the ring and showed me photographs. Virtually all the prongs needed replacement, but not the center garnet. It took two visits, but he replaced all of them for $185. The ring looks great and I think the problem is finally solved. If you want an upscale jewelry store, Pavé is fine. If you want an expert who charges a fair price, try Underhill.”

1564 Solano Ave, Albany“I love the Stone Room! It has a great selection of crystals and stones at very fair prices. They also have a fantastic assortment of gemstone beads. Tenzin is always delightful and knowledgeable to work with. I have picked up some great stones here, and I know they are sourced in the best way possible via Tashi's travels and direct relationships with suppliers in each country. Most crystal stores that buy from gem shows and have no idea where their products are coming from, so I feel far better about buying from The Stone Room.”
“Okay so let's start out with it Was our anniversary...So our Vibes brought us here for spiritual Brunch!We were headed elsewhere for brunch ended up here and feed our souls for about 2 hours or more. Lost track of time as if the moment we walked through the threshold it paused the world around us all I heard was ancestral words calming my entire being.(Was it the soundtrack from dancing with wolves ...j.k j.k lol he did have a dope native American and Cuban drums and some flute Playlist going)Yo I can't make this stuff up.I only review places I really like,places I really vibe with. So it was pretty fitting that we walked into theSTONE ROOM 2 ...More like Magical Bazaar! You can turn and look a MILLION different ways inside this little Bodega and still miss something huge and Out Of This World or be ready to pay and be like yup I missed all these. So be ready to spend a couple mins or hours or days exploring this MAGICAL place¡ ? ✨️We got each other some things¡”

“Oh Sparkly Ragz how do I love thee...let me count the ways! I can't even remember how I found them. But it was through Facebook on one of their Facebook Live sales during the peak of COVID in 2020. Sooo glad I came across them. They are a quite consignment and exclusive boutique. They sell new, used, like new, and handmade items. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I've gotten purses, jackets, scarfs, jewelry etc! Both new and used. I've loved almost everything I've purchased. I tend to buy through the Facebook Live sales they do. And rarely make it into the store. If you're in the area worth stopping by, if not worth taking the trip! Good people and great items!”

The store carries clothing and accessories across various price points, and the fact that my two daughters and I (all with very different styles) can all find something here says it all.

“My necklace repair was done for free(clasp problem). I did not have cash (it costed $2.00) but she waived the cost and just told me to drop it off when I’m in the area again. Her shop was tucked in behind other stores but well worth the trip. The jewelry is beautiful and stylish. Such a great find!”
“I had some gold coins that I needed to sell but I had some trepidation as I had never done that before. I asked some basic questions via email and Monique promptly responded with the information that I needed. Further web research reassured me about the business professionalism, fairness and honesty. I like that they are a long term family business. I arranged an appointment, brought in my coins and was admitted to the inner sanctum. All the interactions were very friendly and efficient, and the vibe felt very wholesome and down to Earth. The price they paid was very reasonable and I walked out in a short time with a sizeable check in my pocket.”

“I have been coming to Radbird for several years. I can always find stylish designer pieces although they tend to be on the pricier side of preowned clothing. Their prices seem to always land somewhere between $200-$400. The fine jewelry collection is gorgeous.The ladies who work there are always kind but the fitting rooms could use some full length mirrors.”
“This was my first time here/selling gold or jewelry, so didn't really know what 2 expect, but I was in and out really quickly and the clerk helping me was friendly and also like triple-checked what I was looking 4, which I appreciate a lot. Def recommend!”
