Dream proposal with dream engagement ring

I reached out to Altana with hopes of building my partner a perfect engagement ring from scratch. Needless to say, I hit the jackpot when it comes to custom jewelers in the Bay Area! Not only was I able to schedule meetings to discuss and design the ring at my leisure, but I was able to comfortably time everything out and work with Altana and her team to develop a piece of art for my fiancé that she would always cherish. Altana is the perfect local jeweler! She is thoughtful and considerate, listens to concerns and provides support, and even worked with me as I brought in my own gems to incorporate into the design. I had hoped that I would be able to find someone like in the movies, where you can stop by and chat and gradually make the picture come together. I just never believed that I would be able to find someone so easily! Please, do yourself a favor and schedule time to meet with her. You will not only be saving yourself a lot of headache but also will be making a friend for life. I know that we will never use another jeweler ever again after having the pleasure of working with Altana Marie.

Still Glowing!

I cannot say enough about Altana and team! An absolute dream. They made us feel like family and friends the whole way through. They we’re so thoughtful and caring with all of our detailed ideas. There were moments where we could’ve dreamed bigger, and they helped us in that space, and there are moments aesthetically we needed a tenured answer/eye; they gave it all to us.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with them for over two years now through our engagement and our wedding and they have never skipped a beat. Not only as their space incredibly beautiful, welcoming and warm, but their team amplifies it in the most incredible way. There are a few businesses that mirror your joy; when we felt joy it was clear they felt it to the 10th degree and genuinely. When we wanted to look at something in a more detailed way, they looked 10 times closer. When I didn’t have the words to describe, only the visual, they knew what I wanted and made it happen.

I don’t know how to describe this crew, but they’re such an anchor to my husband and I‘s story/foundation and every time I get to look down at our beautiful rings. All of the intention we put into creating these rings was truly played out and we get to experience that every day when we look at them.

Recommending them 1 million times over.

Truly the best!

If you’re looking for a small business to support, look no further: Altana and her team are amazing.
I had been going back and forth on whether I wanted to redesign my wedding rings and found Altana after looking for local Bay Area jewelers. From the first email reply I received from them, I knew they were going to be a good match.

I’m an annoying client: I always have a ton of questions. Altana and her team were extremely gracious throughout the process, answering every question I had, addressing my budget concerns and making sure I was satisfied and assured before going forward with fabrication. Altana just gets it: I didn’t know exactly what my aesthetic was or what I wanted, but she created the perfect rings for me that I am now obsessed with wearing.

About halfway through the process, I already asked them if they would help me with my next jewelry project. That’s how sure I was about them.

Altana and her team are truly one of a kind. Reach out to them! You won’t regret it.

Stunning rings and service

From the very beginning, Altana and Sakura were amazing. They have an incredible eye for beauty and creativity, along with such a warm and welcoming presence. My fiancée first worked with Altana to create my engagement ring, and she couldn’t have spoken more highly of the experience. Altana was truly in tune with the design process and took the time to really listen to my fiancée’s ideas, preferences, and input, helping to create a ring that felt perfectly me (even though I was completely unaware of it at the time!).

When it came time for me to surprise my fiancée with her own engagement ring, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with them as well. Meeting with Altana and Sakura to customize her ring was such a fun and educational experience—it truly sparked a new appreciation and love for jewelry. They were always transparent and upfront about pricing, so I never felt caught off guard.

I will always recommend Altana and Sakura to others, and for any future jewelry needs, I won’t go anywhere else.

Jewelry with heart

We have worked with Altana twice - once to make a necklace using a gem from my grandmother's ring, and once to make my husband's wedding band, using metal and stones from his grandmother's ring! We will work with her again and again. She is a master of her craft, is able to translate vision into reality, and brings exactly the care and heart you want into the process and final piece.

A one-of-a-kind experience

I don't think we possibly could have had a better ring buying experience. The whole team was almost as excited as we were to celebrate our engagement with a truly one-of-a-kind design. Sakura was a delight to work with at the shop and in helping us plan some truly incredible engravings we didn't think possible really making the final ring unique, and we'll never forget Cassandra excitedly running to grab us champagne after we deliberated for less than 5 minutes that this was the ring for us. Great people, great shop, great work.

An Instant Yes!

My fiancé and I were on the hunt for a Bay Area based custom jeweler that was super detailed and thorough, but most importantly, worked with queer couples. We did some quick searching and Altana was our first consultation - needless to say we didn’t need to chat to any more jewelers. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and from start to finish, really saw what we were trying to do with our rings. They answered our every question - there were tons - and were always responsive and prompt with us, even during busier seasons. We worked on our rings with this team for a little under a year and could not be more pleased with how they turned out. I have recommended Altana and team to many other friends who are beginning to look around, and will continue to for years to come!

Amazing Custom Engagement Ring Experience!

My fiancé discovered Altana’s shop while searching for a local, sustainable jeweler to design a custom engagement ring. Altanana and Sakura were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and the shop was wonderful to visit in person. Sakura helped us choose the perfect salt-and-pepper diamond. We had a great experience and highly recommend them—we’re excited to return for our wedding bands!

A true partner in the jewelry world

So glad I found Altana and her team! After discovering structural issues with my engagement ring (purchased elsewhere), Altana immediately had my back in finding a solution that honored my ring and ensured it had the longevity I expected from a piece like this. She kindly walked me through the problems, offered thoughtful guidance on appraisals and insurance, and even helped me navigate next steps with the original jeweler to make sure I covered all my bases and avoided as much out-of-pocket cost as possible. I trusted her judgment right away, so returning to her to recast my ring was a no-brainer.

When it came time to recast my ring, she was incredibly intentional about preserving what I loved while making smart improvements for long-term wear. Communication was excellent, and the craftsmanship is truly beautiful. It feels like my ring, just better. It's so comforting to know my ring is well-made and has the durability for a lifetime of wear. I can’t wait to work with Altana again on our wedding bands later this year!

Craftsmanship, I can feel every time I look at it!

I couldn’t be happier with my wedding band. From the very beginning, Altana truly listened to what I was hoping for, and brought it to life beautifully. I asked for a rose gold band with a hammer texture, and the final result is absolutely perfect, exactly the right balance of character, warmth, and craftsmanship. The hammer finish, gives the ring depth and personality without feeling overdone, and the rose gold tone is rich, timeless and matched my wife’s wedding band perfectly. I could immediately tell it was made with care and skill. It’s super comfortable and fits perfectly. If you’re looking for someone who generally cares about their work creates pieces that feel both personal and timeless. I can’t recommend Altana enough. The ring is exceptional and exceeds my expectations in every way.
