3 Best Jewelry in Oakland, CA

Worked on a custom wedding band order with them and it came out perfectly. They were great with communication and showed me a CAD before I paid. I had previously tried to work with a jewelry shop in San Francisco and it was a total disaster so Esqueleto was truly a breath of fresh air. Everyone at esqueleto made the process pleasant, seamless from our first meeting to pick up, and the piece was exactly what I wanted. Customer for life thank you!.

I've bought jewelry from this shop before and I appreciate their selection. I bought a couple of custom bracelets for my mom here, and when they were lost via UPS, Artemio and his team were lovely and helped with a complicated customer service issue. Truly standout service.

I had an amazing experience working with the team at Esqueleto to design a custom ceremonial ring. They listened to everything I shared and brought me along on the entire process. I am so happy with the final product. Thank you, Esqueleto!.

I highly recommend Altana for all your jewelry needs! Seriously, I am exclusively only working with Altana for any of my jewelry going forward. She and her team are all truly amazing. I first found Altana when I was thinking of redesigning my wedding rings. I wanted to go with someone local who could help me create rings that honored what I liked about my original wedding rings but turn them into pieces I’d love to wear, pieces that better fit my aesthetic. I didn’t exactly know what my aesthetic was or even my budget really, but Altana was gracious through it all and helped me figure everything out, reassuring me and making sure I was happy with every single detail. The rings turned out better than I ever could have imagined, and I am already working with Altana on another project. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Altana, you won’t regret it.

It was such a joy to work with Sakura. She did a brilliant job taking an engagement ring I inherited and turned it into a solitaire that worked with my wedding and engagement rings (that are channel set). She also created a unique necklace with the small diamonmds for my sister who is a poet and artist.

Altana perfectly brought my vision to life, creating a ring that’s vintage-inspired yet unique. I’m thrilled with how it turned out and have already recommended her and her team—and would happily do so again.
