Some jewelry is worth a short drive. San Clemente clients come north to Kaz Jewelry in Laguna Niguel for work they cannot find in a display case: pieces designed and made by hand by master jeweler Albert Kaz, who has been at the bench for more than 40 years.
Custom Jewelry, Handmade Chains & Repair for San Clemente
Handmade gold chains and bracelets
Long before he opened a retail studio, Albert was known for his handmade link chains. He still builds them link by link, in the weight, length and pattern you choose, so the chain you wear is not one of thousands.
Men's rings and custom pieces
Albert makes men's wedding bands, signet-style rings, pendants and one-of-a-kind pieces in yellow, white and rose gold and platinum. Bring an idea, a sketch or a piece you want reworked.
Engagement rings made for one person
Each engagement ring is designed with you and made in-house, with certified natural and lab-grown diamonds to compare in person.
Watch service and jewelry repair
Albert replaces watch batteries with a new gasket, fits bands and crystals, adjusts links, and cleans and reconditions automatic and mechanical watches. Jewelry repairs, from prong work to chain and clasp repair, are done at the same bench. Nothing is sent out.

Questions from San Clemente clients
Can Albert make a chain to match one I already own? Bring it in. He will look at the links and tell you what he can make to match.
Can I drop off a repair and a watch on the same visit? Yes. Both are handled in our studio.
Should I call before driving up? You are welcome to walk in for repairs. For a custom piece, an appointment lets Albert set time aside for you.
