Joya Vida

After leaving my last review, the owner contacted my husband with a long text message, telling him that she thinks I have a disorder, that he should leave me when I get the chance and that I’m a parasite that will take all his money and drain him emotionally. She is disgusting. I have gone to several jewelers since her. I had my ring remade by another company — they did the most incredible job and for half the price and in platinum! I believe this woman is a scammer (and all the other jewelers I spoke to agree). They said their work is horrible and cheap — many of them even laughed at her work. Maybe because we don’t have as much money as her other customers, she decided that she could half ass our work. She’s lucky I haven’t called my lawyer… I’m still thinking I may do it. Oh and I still haven’t gotten the wax mold — but I don’t need it anymore since I have an amazing ring, made from another jeweler — not this crazy woman…

Jolene was incredible, she hunted and found the exact engagement ring for my now fiancé! She absolutely loved it. Jolene will go out of her way to make her customers happy, I can’t say enough good things!

What a unique and beautiful store. The owner, Jolene, is incredible– she’s so much fun to work with. She is creative, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Not to mention, she is responsive, warm, and accommodating. She helped me custom create my engagement ring. Because the finished product was so beautiful, I decided to work with her on several other projects. She has such the creative eye and will help you if you don’t know exactly what you are looking for. Jo is always willing to answer questions– she really gets to know and care for all of her customers. I couldn’t be more pleased with all of my jewelry. Jo is the absolute best and her products are breath-​taking.

Wow — What a find! Prefer to shop local and love that I have found Jolene at Joya Vida. Great selection of unique artistic jewelry, but also provides custom design advice and execution. Jolene is knowledgeable, very pleasant and easy to work with. She took my idea and turned it into reality — and very reasonably priced! Highly recommend.

Browsing through Cedros, I came across this small jewelry boutique that displays various jewelry artists that are very unique and quite lovely. Quite a bit of the designs are very delicate to the eye with splashes of ZC’s of fine quality (not large enough to call attention to them but as the owner explained anything can be reproduced with diamonds if desired. When I walked in everyone was super friendly and I didn’t feel any of the normal ‘high pressure’ to purchase anything. In fact, I stayed and visited with several women who were making purchases themselves. I purchased two pendants that I can wear with jeans or an evening dress or just dinner out. Not splashy but very elegant. If you’re looking for bold big stone jewelry they have some but their emphasis is on jewelry that looks very expensive with very fine detail but doesn’t cost
nearly what it looks it should. I’d recommend stopping by. It’s a fun little shop.

Hands down the most beautiful store I have ever seen! I love this place it’s like a museum. Has unique select items from various artists. A wide range of price ranges and something for everyone. I absolutely love all the jewelry. The owner Jolene is a shining ray of light and an incredibly wonderful person. She is so warm and kind makes you feel good just walking in the store. Great customer service and fun shopping experience!

My mother and I this morning were driving around looking for a jewelry shop for a present for my sister. We were walking and came across this little gem. I’m so glad we stopped by because the clerk was so kind to us, not pushy and helpful.
We looked around for a bit and then found 2 pairs of perfect earrings for my sister. It was so hard to decide which one we wanted to give her but we picked and it cost about $ 70, which wasn’t bad at all. All the stuff is one of the kind and beautiful in this store. I loved the personal attention we got and it was a truly a great experience with my mother. When I get engaged I’ll have to come her and get my ring because guess what they customize make rings!
All I need to do is bring in pictures on what I want and can get it. You must visit this shop if you need a special gift for a loved one or yourself :)
Shop local!

I just had my engagement ring made here and couldn’t be happier. I’ve never wanted the usual engagement ring, I wanted something that was a mix of organic and modern and I found that here. I told them what I was looking for and they had a quote to me in less than a week and after we ordered the ring, it was ready in 3 weeks. I’m in love with the ring and the service and expertise that Jolene and Kasha provide is impeccable. They are welcoming and warm, I’ve gone back and purchased several gifts for christmas this year. There is a huge range of jewelry to select from, many different styles and the prices vary from affordable to higher end. I plan on being a customer for years to come!

Ok ~ so I’m a jewel Junkie. Some people get t-​shirts on a visit out of town. I try to buy something with a little bit more staying power. This little «gem» of a store is on the south? end of Cedros Avenue. It’s nice and relaxed like most Cedros stores. I ended up with these really pretty gold overlay earrings with a cut out design that looks sort of like a water lily (Lilies are my favorite). They have pieces in all price ranges so you are sure to find something in your budget.
