Arareity Jewelers

I needed a new clasp for my medic alert ID and stopped at Arareity to get a quotes after also talking to a big chain jeweler. There is no comparison in the customer service or the quoted price between the 2. Arareity fixed my bracelet for about a third of the quoted price at the other store. The staff were friendly and helpful both times I was there and my bracelet repair was perfect! Glad I did a search for a local store!

I’ve been a customer at Arareity since i was a hippie student at SCC and graduated as a Biology major in 1975. Carole and the people at the Arareity are fantastic and beyond my ability to comfortably describe perfection. You are meaningful Carole and I am sorry to hear of your personal bereavement, but happy to hear and know you are still there for us at 10^th and R St. Sacramento, CA.

Shopping with Carole, the owner of Arareity Jewelers, a treat!
I knew there were some art galleries located upstairs in this magical Narnia wardrobe door, but I had no idea that there were so many other little shops. What a fun surprise to wander down the hallway and see a jewelry store with a Unilocal sticker on the door.
My husband must have known I’d be a while as Carole instantly greeted me as I walked in the door. I casually mentioned that I was looking for some gifts for my family. She brought me to a gorgeous Roman jewelry section, but I didn’t see anything that quite fit the bill.
A little more Q&A between the two of us and she pulled out some earrings from a recent trade show, bingo! She even drew a sketch on a card of the pair of earrings that I really wanted to by for myself, but Holidays and all that, I held off. Totally sneaking that somewhere where my other half will find it!
I will definitely be back. There are so many little treasures in here and Carole has an eye for style and knows how to ask the right questions. I’m looking forward to coming back in the future!

I really wanted to patronize this cute shop, and went in about six weeks ago with an heirloom opal & diamond ring I wanted reset. First visit, the salesgirl was very helpful-​I told her exactly what I wanted, she quoted me a price for the simple setting & labor. Silly me left to compare prices at other shops, returned yesterday after deciding I’d trust Arareity with my ring, and left almost in tears. Different salesgirl plopped a 200pg catalogue of settings in front of me & told me to got through it myself-​there were no other customers in the shop, she made me feel like she couldn’t be bothered to suggest a few styles based on the SIMPLE style I requested-​my opal with a ring of surrounding diamonds in a flat setting. I indicated my overwhelmed feeling, so she flipped to a page with a setting that looked nothing like the one I requested & said «this is what you want.» When I told her nicely that the setting wasn’t what I was looking for, she contradicted me rudely! Taken aback, I mentioned that there was no need for her to be rude, and she contradicted me again, saying «um, I wasn’t being rude!» I would have appreciated an apology and done decaf by customer service; now I guess I’ll be taking my business to the Bay Area. Suggestion: ask for a salesperson who looks like they have a bit of experience. :(

Beautiful, elegant, and unique jewelry is for sale in this lovely shop, as well as the option of getting custom made pieces.

Araretiy Jewelers is cool. I took all my Mom’s gold that I inherited after she passes away a few weeks ago to Araretiy. Let me tell you, she went piece by piece and told me the story about each one. I was impressed she knew so much about Turkish pieces, but invariably a few she didn’t know about. I got some pieces repaired/​polished and I am glad I did.
I’d go there again.

My fiancé and I have stepped foot in this lovely shop a few times. We loved the work there so much that we designed our wedding bands with Carol. The bands turned out fantastic and the unique one of a kind touch that we wanted came through perfectly.
Overall the pieces that are sold in this shop are beautiful and if you are looking for something unique then this is the place. I also highly recommend this jeweler if you love rose gold. It was what originally caught my eye and what I used in my band.

I met with Carol about a few pieces of my deceased Mother’s jewelry that I needed adjusted to fit me. Also had some scrap gold to sell. I most was impressed by how Carol let me take my time to make decisions — she put my family connection before any concerns about the biz making $$. She even suggested that I keep some items rather than sell them. A week or so later I picked up my order and the employee who helped me went over the order very thoroughly despite the fact that the store was busy! The order was perfectly done. This was my first time at Arareity (discovered via «downtown sac jeweler» search at
) & it is now MY jeweler! I seek to patronize LOCALLY owned biz & was also pleased to learn that Arareity supports Capitol Public Radio. Nice touch!

I have to confess — I’m not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to jewelry and art glass (ok I’m showing my newfound sophistication already knowing that term!), but I am so thankful to have Arareity Jewelers out there! My fiancée happens to really like jewelry — surprise — and so I have needed their help a lot over the past year and a half to find pieces she’ll like and appreciate.
My fiancée is from Sacramento, and we both just love this jewelry store. It’s located in a very cool hip artist conclave called The Building near downtown sac. There’s just a great feel to the store and the whole location. My fiancée also likes knowing we’re spending our money in a place that deserves it and where she knows she’s getting high-​quality items.
What I like about Arareity in particular is that everyone in the store has a deep understanding of not only jewelry but custom jewelry. They are able to help me find unique pieces that my very knowledgeable and picky fiancée will like. Also, the pieces are unique — not found in mass produced jewelry stores. I feel that if I’m going to spend that kind of money on a gift I don’t want to us to walk into a room and have anyone else wearing the same thing!
I have bought her engagement ring here, a very cool vase, earrings, and am just about to get another piece of fine jewelry — can’t say what in case she happens to read this review!
I whole-​heartedly recommend Arareity Jewelers. They are hands down the best jewelry store in Sacramento.

I had an antique bracelette repaired here. The service and quality of the repair was perfect. The price was very reasonable. I would recommend this shop to anyone who loves jewels or art.

Unilocalers, i am not a jewelry girl, but the few amazing things i own all come from arareity. my silver and peridot necklace gets a compliment every time i wear it, and the custom garnet and pearl strand — literally, folks have asked to touch it. arareity is not a mall outlet with cookie cutter bracelets and rings in fluorescent cases. every piece is lovingly chosen and unique! and they do custom designs! got a fantasy wedding band in mind? want to see that gem in a new setting? this is the place. arareity is a sacramento original, a real local treasure (i would have said gem, but that’s too corny).

I have purchased many beautiful pieces from Arareity over the years for my girlfriend, mother and sisters, and each time the items were quality, beautiful, original and were loved. The owner of Arareity, Carole Koblick, has always treated me with such personal service it keeps me coming back to this wonderful boutique. The store has an extremely personal feel, and the items (jewlery, blown glass, etc.) are very unique, which gives the feeling that that there was real thought and creativity put into each piece. I would recommend Arareity to anyone looking for great service and special pieces.

I have purchased over a dozen pieces in the last 5 years and can do nothing but RAVE about this place. There is something for everyone. The owner, Carole, is very knowledgeable, friendly, & helpful. I’ve received so many compliments on the jewelry I purchased there.
I picked up an unset boulder opal stone in Australia, and went to Carole with a sketch. Got exactly what I envisioned, one of a kind and beautiful. Thanks to her I have the most amazing reminder of that fabulous trip. Unique, gorgeous pieces will last a lifetime. Quality is second to none. Check it out. You will be thrilled with your discoveries!!!

Do you hate going into a jewelry store like DeVon’s or Zale’s — because you feel like you are about to be ripped off in the name of «Love»? Do you not want to buy jewelry online or at a discount place because that’s cheap and you want the real thing?
Arareity is the best mom & pop jeweler in SacTown. Carole Kobcik is the owner and she is great — warm and friendly and dead honest about the work — I have brought in three rings for resizing and repair, and two other pieces with damage for repair. One was costume — the Space Needle in cheap metal and glass and she was very helpful in getting it fixed up for my ex-​wife, the Space Needle collector.
Whenever I need work on a special piece, or am looking for a special custom item Arareity is my first choice.
