“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!”
“I learned about Rotem Cohen (LifeForce Appraisals) from his YELP reviews. I reached out to him to have heirloom jewelry appraised, and I was extremely satisfied with the entire process. Because of this initial experience, I contacted Rotem again about some gold and silver pieces I wanted to sell. The process was quick and easy, AND I received fair prices for each piece. Rotem is extremely knowledgable, communicative, and efficient. His rates are reasonable, and he's just a great person to work with. I found him to be a fabulous resource and will be recommending him to family and friends.”
“Mama is the best ! She has great prices and she is very knowledgeable. This place is my go to place for all my kids and my 24k jewelry . Variety of style ❤️”

3980 Piedmont Ave, Oakland“We love Yan and we love Lireille! Yan was so lovely to work with from day one - she is knowledgeable, patient, humorous and has a knack for understanding your vision completely (even if you're still working through the details)! She also helped us with many culturally relevant considerations that we deeply appreciated. Designing our custom engagement rings, one of which we used an heirloom jewel for, was such a straightforward and simple process and we could not be more happy with the results. Go with Lireille, you won't regret it!”
“I like how tht lady left a long a** review but didnt even buy anything lol I got my first grill here in high school and after shopping around, I notcied a lot of these grill shops in the bay do flea market quality work and are really rude (Mr Bling in Pittsburg, John Jewelers in bayfair) and I've decided to go back here jst based off the quality of experience and work I had done over 10 years ago.”
“Beautiful selection of plants and other happiness inducing items! The owner/curator is very helpful with information and how-tos. Stopped in by chance, and it's now a favorited location.”

824 Franklin St, Oakland“I didn't end up buying anything from these guys, but they were very helpful, friendly, and efficient. I'm not an expert, but their prices seem pretty good as well.”
“Amazing expertise and service. I brought jewelry and coins from an estate. They spent so much time on valuing the stuff and gave excellent advice for free. Then they gave $ for the stuff I wanted to sell on the spot. I got them to value stuff I didn't want to sell too, for free. What a great, easy experience. I trust them, super local business. Highly recommend.”
“I am so happy with Kims! I brought a ring in yesterday to be resized. It was ready to be picked up today. Great service and beyond fair prices. I would have paid at least double elsewhere. Am so grateful to have found this special place!”
“The colors, smells and textures were so exciting to my senses. I wanted to bring home so many things that I don’t need. I am going to remember this as a perfect place for gift giving. All of the things I would love to own!”

3040 E 9th St f, Oakland“(Translated by Google) It is an excellent place, very friendly people, reliable place, I have little to visit it and I am happy with the attention., Of 5 stars I am 6 for them.”
“This is my go-to place whenever I need a gift for my wife. Philippa's jewelry is her favorite, but the store also carries other talented designers, so I can switch styles from time to time. The staff is wonderful too--I've been going here for over a decade, and every single employee I've interacted with has been helpful and kind. So glad to have this gem of a store in Oakland.”
“Just got into town and I read the reviews so I almost decided to pass up this spot. I was nervous to go here but I honestly had a good visit. The staff was really awesome, helpful and pleasant. Sometimes you can't believe other reviews you have to give it a shot. Wig Great wig selection I was able to pick my top 3 - the one I actually purchased happened to be the last one so I was able to get 10% off Contacts Cute basic colors affordable price, i didn't see them until after I purchased my wig so I was instantly surprised and couldn't pass it up.”
“I haven’t felt a warm vibe in every shop on Piedmont and vintage stores can be kind of snobby sometimes but I’m happy to say that that frigidaire environment has NOT been my experience at Sunshine Prophecy. The vibe is super warm and inviting; There is ALWAYS good music playing; The employees there are always very patient with any of my (often MANY haha) questions; — AND I’ve never felt pressure to buy anything if I wasn’t ready. — That is especially important to me bc in order to budget I purposely do LONG leads on items I’m interested in. I might stop in once or twice and ask questions/do price checks before I finally treat myself and they always treat me like a paid customer. Clothes, jewelry, purses are cute. LOVE their witchy candles, herbs, and TAROT CARDS. It seems like the owner of this store had more of a “creative calling ” then just a bottom line in starting this business.”
