I went into Raphael's Fine Jewelry on a Friday to get my mother-in-laws necklace cleaned and polished. She passed away about 16 years ago and we wanted to pass it down to her first granddaughter for her birthday. We wanted to get it done before Saturday. They showed me the work they would do first to see if that's what I wanted to get done, told me the cost, which was very affordable, then they had it ready for pick up at end of the day. All the employees and owner were very courteous and friendly. They do great cleaning and polishing work on jewelry. The shop itself is clean and all items for sale looked amazing! I would recommend this jewelry shop above all others in Visalia.

I've had three rings resized at Raphael's. Each time I was treated with kindness and courtesy. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the rings. They are very trustworthy and honest people and I was impressed with their work.

We went in to take a look around and we left having made new friends. Rafael has great expertise as a jeweler and can design anything you want. His wife is lovely and has great expertise herself. We highly recommend this jeweler. We plan to go to him whenever we need (or want) anything.

Raphael is the Visalia jeweler everyone needs in their life! He is an absolute master of his craft, and has more reasonable pricing than any other retail store in the Valley. For the quality of his cuts, the clarity of his diamonds, and the realistic price range for such fine jewelry (like the engagement ring and wedding band set he got me), the man just can't be beat. My new family thanks him dearly (And he got our resizing done in literally like, an hour, he's quick! Lol)

Going into a fancy jewelry store made me a little nervous. I've been in others around town, and they made me feel like I did not belong there.This was NOT the case at Raphael's! I called first to see if they could polish the opal in my wedding ring and resize another ring for me. I felt instantly comfortable when talking to the woman on the phone. She was so kind. When my husband and I went into the store, we were promptly greeted by the woman and man working there. They were both incredibly friendly, informative, and took their time with us. The price for both services was very reasonable. They got my rings back to me within TWO DAYS and even gave me some knowledge on how to preserve my opal. Words cannot describe how I felt when I saw my wedding ring. I was in shock. I walked back to my car with the biggest smile on my face. The picture attached does not do it justice. They went above and beyond for me. I cannot wait to go back and have more time to look through their selection of jewelry because the little bit we saw was beautiful and unique. Even my husband was impressed when I showed him the ring after the service. We both agreed that he and I will definitely be going back here for future jewelry purchases and maintenance.

Raphael's is and outstanding jewelry store. Raphael carries beautiful high quality jewelry. He has the highest quality gem stones and can create amazing work. Raphael is a full service jeweler. In addition to selling new pieces, he provides truly amazing repair services. Hs was able to rebuild a ring that was badly worn after a half century Raphael does many repairs himself and also takes pieces to experts who perform perform repairs. As one example. I had and antique pearl necklace that needed re-stringing and additional pearls to make it longer. He matched the new pearls to the old perfectly. I also had a wrist watch that was more than 120 years old. Raphael called on a expert who returned the watch to almost new shape. Raphael is friendly and has always taken time to answer my questions .

Over the years I have worked with jewelers in Washington DC, Houston TX, Los Angeles CA. Raphael's expertise can match if not rival the jewelers I've worked with even in major cities. He is knowledgeable, wonderfully artistic, fair, and honest. Recently I needed some jewelry repairs. Raphael was very helpful. He was upfront and honest about my options. His prices are very fair especially considering the quality of his work. I will not only return here for repairs but also for designing custom pieces. I would trust him with all our jewelry, even sentimental heirloom pieces.

I needed two rings sized; one was my wedding ring, which was very standard. However, the other was a unique ring with a single large amethyst sitting on a "crown" of gold and small diamonds in an intricate design. It was a gift from a friend, and I was afraid no one would size it larger. Raphael sized this ring by removing the center stone and adding gold, therefore, the design was not compromised, nor was the amethyst broken. Both calls were returned in more beautiful condition than I ever imagine. He was such a pleasant gentleman to do business with. I would trust him with anything.
