    I am continually impressed by the expertise of the skilled Watchmaker, Zohrab. He has a vast knowledge of mechanical watches and appears to be able to repair any watch I throw at him, finding the flaw and providing a fix at a reasonable price. I would not be able to maintain a collection of mechanical watches without his assistance. The store atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and all who work there have great kindness and professionalism. This is truly a wonderfully run business by skilled and dedicated folks. I can highly recommend Ara Karkazian Watch & Jewelry Company without reservation.

    I recently had a stone upgrade to my wife’s wedding ring for our 25th wedding anniversary. The staff were very helpful and even made suggestions on how to make the setting look even better. All work was done in a timely manner and was amazing looking. My wife loved it!! Staff were great and the cost of the work was very good. Will definitely return

    Watch repair was fixed at the price quoted and ready in 16 days. Satisfied with the repair, however the customer service was subpar from what I expected. Eye contact and a smile do make a difference.

    Personnel very friendly and knowledgeable. Jewelry very nice. Repairs and waiting on adjustments to product very slow. Lack of call backs when requesting returns.

    Lovely, quality jewelry, beautiful workmanship. Talk with Chaleena, she'll treat you right! Bought several rings, a gold coin pendant, and heavier gold chain. All pieces are stunning. Thanks so much for a pleasant shopping experience!

    I have had several pieces of jewelry fixed here. My wedding ring set is the latest piece, one of the prongs had broken off the main diamond. I picked it up today and they did a beautiful job on it. It’s all clean and sparkly and looks brand new again.

    Was looking for watches and decided to check out this establishment. Anthony was very nice and showed me all the watches he had available. Was able to try on every watch I was interested in. Ultimately purchased a Seiko Prospex Diver's watch with Anthony. Definitely recommend to shop here if you are looking to buy a watch and/or jewelry.

    Ara and his jewelry team always come through for me on those extra-special occassions. I know I'm buying top quality jewelry when I come into the store. The staff is so helpful and take the time to make sure I'm completely satisfied. And the gift wrapping service they offer has been a life saver, especially for a guy like me who only enjoys w'rapping' when it's on the radio.

    I wanted to sell some jewelry. I had already gone to another place to compare what they would give me and this place offered me a miserable laughable amount. I guess they thought I was desperate and or uneducated about the pieces I was trying to sell.

  • 5/5 Judith S. 2 years ago on Google
    I left a Tiffany ring to be sized. It turned out to be complicated because of the filigree around the edge of the ring, so instead of a couple of weeks to complete it took two months. The end result was excellent! The jeweler obviously takes pride in his work and the ring is perfect. I was not charged one penny more than the quote I was given when I left the ring with the jeweler, even though the sizing was more difficult. The only fault I find is that I never received a telephone call during the process and I hadn’t been given a tag showing that I had left the ring with the jeweler so I was afraid it had been lost. I did call and stop by several times and each time I was given a report, which was somewhat reassuring. I would definitely do business again with this jeweler. I know he has been in business for many years in this area and has a good reputation. I am very happy with the result.

    I've taken two pieces to Ara Kardashian for minor adjustment/repair, a gold heirloom bracelet that needed links removed and a gold chain that needed a new clasp. The work was clean and of the highest quality. Will definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Chris N. 2 years ago on Google
    Needed a scuffed and dinged up gold wedding band resized. The ring came back fitting perfectly. Additionally, a noticeable ding had been removed and the ring was polished so it it looked like new. Very happy with the result.

    I purchased a Baume & Mercier timepiece from Ara Karazian's store. I had the privilege to speak and work with Anthony. Anthony is a sales associate who is extremely knowledgeable in all manufacturers watches. I strongly recommended you visit and speak with Anthony before purchasing a timepiece of heirloom quality.

  • 5/5 Frances s. 2 years ago on Google

    I had an awesome experience getting my new watch band sized. They were the best, with while-you-wait service...

  • 5/5 Joan W. 1 year ago on Google
    I had to get my wedding rings sized because arthritis has changed my ring finger size. They did a beautiful job so I had them fix some earrings that were also in need of repair. I really enjoy working with the staff at Karkazian.

  • 5/5 Renee B. 1 year ago on Google
    Moses is wonderful. I had a battery change done on my watch and it took 10 minutes to do. There is another jeweler at Fig Garden that informed me that it will take them a week to get it done- same charge. I highly recommend this place!!!

  • 5/5 Eric A. 1 year ago on Google
    I took a bracelet in to get fitted. The staff were very helpful and kind. They sized the bracelet for me and when they returned it, they had cleaned and polished it like new.

  • 5/5 Sevag Fox B. 1 year ago on Google
    Moses was great he had great communication skills and was very knowledgeable about the jewelry they carry. He helped me pick out such an amazing ring. Thank you again for the suggestion

  • 5/5 Annette S. 1 year ago on Google
    I went into Karkazian Jewelers to purchase a dainty yet elegant spacer to put between my husband’s initials on a necklace he purchased for me. In my mind I knew what I wanted however, I was not able to put it into words or present a picture/example. I was open to suggestions and Ara’s team put their creative minds to work to find the perfect piece! I am ecstatic🤩! Thank you !

    My wife and I have been regular customers for both purchases and repair at Karkazian over many years. The service has been excellent, the sales people are very knowledgeable, and the front desk people are always pleasant. This is a premier jeweler.

    Recently purchased an engagement & wedding ring for my new wife-to-be at Karkazians. Huge selection to chose from and Anthony my sales associate was knowledgeable very friendly and extremely helpful. I would recommend this establishment to anybody looking for quality and selection. I was very pleased and definitely will do more business there.

    Took my wife’s wedding ring and another ring in to be repaired and strengthened around the diamond. They did a fantastic job! In fact the ring came back looking better than the my did when I bought it 41 years ago!! Highly recommend Ara and his crew to anyone and everyone.

    Anthony at Ara Karkazian Watch was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very inviting, resembles someone I could be very close friends with. I was indecisive on what to look for in a watch but had an idea on what I wanted. I purchased a beautiful Seiko Prospex Alpinest and will come back for my future watch needs. It can be intimidating when in the market for a time piece, Anthony made me feel comfortable and with no pressure. Thank you Anthony. Your service won't be overlooked, my friends and family will know where I went to purchase my item and who to ask for when looking for jewelry or a watch. Oscar.
