I had contacted the seller for help with picking a necklace for my needs. I lost my best friend, my cat, around December and am having a pendant made with his ashes. The seller helped me with all my questions and sent me many pictures so I'd be sure on my purchase. We ran in an issue with the delivery but again amazing customer service provided by the shop. I will be back for more purchases! Thank you guys again for all your help and compassion ❤️

Warm and inviting jewelry store with great customer service. Went to Sunshine Jewelers to look for an updated band. Not only were they extremely patient and kind, they allowed me to customize my band based off of a design I saw online. Muy and Laila provided me with updates on the progress and a quote that was extremely reasonable. The end result, I absolutely loved the way it came out! I never want to take it off. Their attention to detail and the craftsmanship is top tier. A huge thank you for creating an heirloom that I can pass down to my children that is not only timeless but also great quality.

GEMSTONE REPLACEMENT FAQ
Absolutely! Replacing an old gemstone with one of a different type is a great way to give your jewelry a new, fresh look while keeping its sentimental value.
Whether you’re looking at switching out your gemstone with one of a different type, or looking to upgrade your stone to one of a higher quality, our team stands by to help.
It’s difficult to estimate the length of time it takes to replace a gemstone, as lead times are highly dependent on the time it takes to source and receive the replacement stone.
If your desired stone is relatively easy to source, we can have it on your piece within a few weeks. If you’re looking for a stone that’s relatively rare, lead times could be longer.
During your consultation we can give you a more accurate idea of timelines.
We can help you source and set replacement gemstones on all kinds of jewelry pieces, from rings, pendants, earrings, and everything in between.
Our goldsmith has over 20+ years of experience in working with a variety of setting styles and prong types, so you can be sure that your replacement stone will be set with precision and a flawless finish.
When replacing a gemstone, it’s important to think about how the new stone will fit with the overall design and style of your piece, especially if you’re switching to a stone of a different type - for instance, a blue sapphire to another sapphire of a different hue.
With so many different aspects of a given stone, like its color, cut, and carat, it’s important to ensure that these elements match in visual harmony with your piece’s setting and metal type.
In addition to the visual aspects of the replacement stone, it’s important to also consider its physical characteristics as well.
For example, some gemstones are more durable than others, and are better suited for everyday wear. If the piece is something you wear daily, like an engagement ring, a more durable, harder stone like a diamond or sapphire would be a fitting choice.
If the piece is for special occasions, however, your breadth of choices could include stones that are more delicate - like opals or emeralds.
Delicateness aside, there are also other characteristics to consider like how susceptible the stone is to fading. Some stones, like Amethyst, fade with UV exposure. Piece’s adorned with these stones are typically better worn at night.
We understand that gemstones are a world of their own. If you’re looking to replace your stone with one of a different type, our on-site GIA graduate gemologist would be more than happy to help you make the perfect choice for a replacement on your gemstone journey.
We can source a wide variety of gemstones for your piece. From the more traditional stones, to ones that are more unique and rare, our team has fostered connections with gem traders around the globe, so you can be sure we can assist you with finding the perfect stone at the right price.
Below is a brief, but by no means exhaustive list of the more popular stones that we work with:
