Highlands Jewelers

We have been shopping at Highland Jewlers since 1995. In that time Victor has designed and created four incredible pieces of jewelry for my husband and me. His artistic ability is just wonderful. He patiently worked with us and we have never been disappointed.
We have watched his business grow and with the assistance of his family including his wife and children, they have become a local gem of a jewelry store!
Whenever I have needed a repair, Victor not only repairs or replaces stones, he cleans and polishes my items. He is so proud of his work. I have had strangers ask me about my jewelry and have sent my friends to see him when they have jewelry issues.
Recently I was pleased to see the large selection of Pandora charms presented by his daughter Julia. She has an eye for selection and even has the honor of designing a San Diego charm for Pandora!
The store offers many ready made pieces and the staff can help you find the perfect gift in your price range. If I could give them 6 stars… I would!!!

I brought my watch in to size my bracelet, Victor did an excellent job and was patient in helping me get the desired fit. I will definitely come again for any watch repairs.

So glad I found Highlands Jewelers. They’re always so nice and all the work I’ve had done there has been great (mainly watch related). Very honest. Great jeweler.

Victor did a complicated repair on my Baume&Mercier watch at a very reasonable price that was about ¼ of what a LaJolla shop quoted. And it was done quickly. I’m very happy with the courteous service Victor provided.

Highlands Jewelry Store is literally a walking distance from my house. That is not the only reason we shop there. My fiancé’ Chris had a ring designed by Victor and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Victor and his wife Jeannette are so personable and definitely know a lot of about jewelry, especially diamonds. They also carry Pandora jewelry that are absolutely stunning.
I highly recommend Highlands Jewelers for any jewelry design, repairs or a gift for that someone special.

Wonderful family owned jewelry store. I went in because I wanted to purchase Pandora bracelets for my girls. Julia was so very patient and helped us in looking for different charms. We are a very indecisive family and we never once felt pressured to buy. I had never been in before but I will definitely visit again.

They fixed my Skagen watch after I broke the knob off. Additionally, they polished a pair of diamond earrings for no charge! They look brand new. Wonderful local business that I am happy to support.

Victor is excellent and offers a combination of expertise with pragmatic advice. Lovely place for all ranges of purchasing.

I’ve started using Unilocal more in the last few months to find services and I’m having great luck. I’ve been needing a reliable local jewelry repair place for ages, having had some poor work done in the past and not being sure how to avoid the same thing happening again. So, based on the reviews here, I gathered up two rings which needed resizing, one broken necklace chain, and one gold chain necklace which needed lengthening. Three working days later (I said I was in no hurry), I am very happy with the results and the reasonable price and so happy to have these four pieces wearable again after many years of sitting in my jewelry box. Highly recommended!

Victor re-​designed my wedding ring to include a diamond band my husband gave me for our 25^th anniversary. The ring turned out so beautiful! I was thrilled with the quality and the affordability of Highland Jewelers.

I don’t often give reviews but there was a lot to love about this place. My wife found a ring on Blue Nile that she absolutely loved, but was worried about the size being too big. Victor was unbelievably helpful throughout the process and was very relaxed.
We had some unique concerns about the ring (timing, sizing, etc.) and he gave no hesitation in providing awesome workarounds for them. Ultimately, he offered a fair price, an amazing ring, and a very easy, smooth process to go with it.
I normally suggest people to buy at Blue Nile, but I would definitely recommend checking this place out as well.

I’ve come to Highlands Jewelers twice, once for a broken necklace and also this week to make my engagement ring smaller. They did a great job with both! And even got to my ring right away so that I could have it back ASAP. I really appreciated that! I would definitely go back!

Smashed my Rolex watch. Took it in to Victor and within a couple of days I had my watch back in perfect condition. Very nice people and I would highly recommend them.

I brought my 1900 Morgan silver dollar into Highlands Jewelers. At the time it was almost totally black and pitted from age. Silver polish wouldn’t touch it. Victor said let me tumble it overnight and let’s see what happens. When I returned for it OMG what a difference. The photo posted does not show the full shiny luster that was achieved. It’s awesome! Thanks again Victor

After doing my due diligence and becoming a damn near expert on engagement rings, I found my final stop here at Highlands Jewelers. I met with Victor and showed him what I was looking for, and what I needed the «Four C’s» to be. While he didn’t have a match in stock, he worked with me and produced the perfect engagement ring for my lady at a reasonable price, including the GIA certification and appraisal. She loves her ring and gets a lot of compliments. Thank you Vincent!

Highly recommendable shop if you want to get the upscale products and great service. The jeweler is a trustworthy craftsman and the staff is so kind and warm. Great!

Great experience here with nice owners and staff. Needed to get more secure post/​backs put on my gemstone earrings that I ordered online from Ross Simons (though don’t recommend ordering fine jewelry online!). Told them to put screw posts on which they did (and quickly!) but I realized when I got home that I had asked for the wrong type of posts. Went back same day and they kindly replaced the posts with the one that I meant to ask for initially. And no extra charge there.
I have not purchased jewelry there so cannot comment on that. Did look at some blue topaz earrings– nice selection and prices seemed Ok.
I’ll be coming back here if I need other work or when I decide to get another nice pair of earrings!

I have had about half a dozen experiences at this jeweler from appraisal to jewelry repair, to designing a custom ring and have always had exceptional service !
I think the owner is the jeweler who always has plenty of time to make sure he understands what I want, the prices are very affordable, they are honest and most important care about their customers.
I will always be a loyal customer to highlands jeweler.

So I woke up this morning and noticed the screw back to my diamond studs fell off. I live right around the corner from this place so I called to make sure they had what I needed. Jay was beyond welcoming and was so helpful in finding me the perfect fit for my earring. She even cleaned my earrings for free and gave me a new calendar for next year! I walked out very happy with my «new» sparkling earrings!
Thank you!

I’m not a jewelry expert, but I have dealt with jewelers around Southern California for about a year, and I generally hate the experience. I thought my 12 years on Wall Street were bad… jewelers, for such beautiful end-​products, are such a hardened group of cold traders, especially when it comes to selling your own stuff.
After unpleasantly dealing with jewelers in both San Diego and Los Angeles, I was very, very pleasantly surprised by Victor at Highlands. He came recommended from a very close friend, and I’m glad I took his advice.
Victor is incredibly professional, patient, and knowledgeable. He is well traveled, well spoken, and incredibly knowledgeable. He looked at every major jewel piece we brought in… pearls, emeralds, diamonds, and sapphires, and he gave his very honest opinion and recommendations on what to do with them, and which pieces were worth doing an official assessment for.
Even after calling him back a week later from out of town, he was just as gracious and professional, and I can guarantee that I will specifically work with him on jewelry design and purchases in the future.
It’s worth the trip for me to drive down to see him.
