If you live in Dana Point, the jeweler who will actually work on your piece is one road away. Kaz Jewelry is on Golden Lantern in Laguna Niguel, where master jeweler Albert Kaz has been making and repairing fine jewelry by hand for more than 40 years.
Jewelry Repair & Custom Engagement Rings for Dana Point
Repairs for jewelry that lives near the water
Salt water, sand and sunscreen are hard on fine jewelry. Sand wears down prongs, and white gold loses its bright finish faster with daily beach wear. Albert checks every piece himself before recommending anything, then does the work at his own bench: prong retipping and stone tightening, ring sizing, chain and clasp repair, platinum repair, laser welding and rhodium plating.
No appointment is needed for repairs.
A ring worn every day for years can be brought back. Albert inspects the setting, rebuilds worn prongs, tightens stones and refinishes the metal so the ring is secure and looks the way it did when it was new.

Custom engagement rings and wedding bands
Planning a proposal by the harbor or on the headlands? Albert designs each ring with you and makes it in-house, from the 3D design to the final stone. You can look at certified natural and lab-grown diamonds side by side, or bring a family stone to build the ring around. He also makes custom wedding bands in gold and platinum.
Walk-ins are welcome, but an appointment lets Albert set time aside for you.

“I had a wonderful experience here. He was super thorough explaining what needed to be done to help restore my engagement ring and wedding band. Gave me several options and when I chose the lesser expensive option, he still went above and beyond to ensure my diamonds were safe and he finished by the next day. I had spoken with 2 other jewelers - one wanted to send my ring out and said it would take 3 weeks and the other was not as thorough explaining what he would do. I would go back here again in a heartbeat.” Joel, Dana Point
