    Thank you Altana + Cassandra!

    My husband and I worked with Altana and Cassandra on my engagement ring and our wedding bands. Immediately we felt that Altana was going to be easy to work with and help us balance cost with creating beautiful designs. Plus we loved the idea of supporting a local woman-owned business. Communication was easy throughout the process, and I would highly recommend Altana to any friends in the East Bay.

    Exactly the custom ring we wanted

    My fiancé and I had a great time working with Altana on a custom engagement ring! She walked us through each step of the process with tremendous patience since we really didn't know anything about rings going into this. From educating us about stones and types of metals to taking time to answer our questions about sketches and the CAD model, Altana and her team always took time to make sure we were comfortable with taking the next step forward. We found a ring in our travels that gave us inspiration for the general band style we liked, but the band we found was thicker than I wanted. I also wanted to keep the stone as close to my...

    Altana is the best!

    Altana helped me & my fiance design my dream ring from beginning to end. I came to her for an initial consultation and instantly knew I wanted her to design my ring. Her work speaks for itself, she's incredibly sweet and supportive, and she's knowledgable about all things diamonds.

    One of a kind piece

    Altana worked with me every step of the way from idea to my custom wedding band. She helped create a very special wedding band design that nods to a family heirloom. She has meticulous attention to detail and made sure the wedding band fit what I was looking for. It also helps that she is incredibly sweet and easy to work with.

    Wonderful Jewelry Experience

    Altana was lovely - we wanted to do as much locally as we could so we approached her to make our rings, and she delivered, both with the styles we liked and the price point we needed to hit. My wife went back and bought earrings for the wedding as well. We love Piedmont Avenue and hope to be Altana customers for a long time. Go see Altana for your ring needs, you won't be disappointed.

    Attentive, Creative and Exceptionally professional!

    I approached Altana to build a custom engagement ring. I had a design in mind, and Altana not only guided me through the process, but brought the vision to fulfillment better than I could have imagined! In the beginning, all I had was a scribble on some paper, and an idea... Altana took that small seed, and consulted with me, drawing up multiple versions of the concept for my choosing. We worked together over a couple of weeks, and once the idea was finalized, she set to work! What's more, I wanted to propose to my girlfriend on our anniversary, which was only a handful of weeks away. Altana not only took the project on, but was able to...

    Outstanding work on engagement ring

    Altana is a phenomenal designer and fabricator, and has been great to work with. She guided us through the design process, purchasing of our gemstones, and ongoing changes. We'll be returning to her for our wedding bands.

    Excellent service and highest quality

    Altana is superb! She is easy to work with and delivers what she says she will. Buying an engagement ring was not something I had experience with before speaking with Altana. She talked me through many options and ideas, which helped our collaborative process. Nothing felt pressured, rushed, or overwhelming. I'm so grateful we worked with her, and I highly recommend her for others looking.

    Altana is Amazing

    My fiance and I went to Altana to design a custom engagement ring as well as wedding bands. Working with Altana was awesome! She provided us with tons of different examples and design options, from very classic and traditional to modern and creative. She worked flexibly in our budget range, making sure that we had exactly what we were looking for without trying to push us into paying more. Her stones are also ethically sourced, which is important to us. When we got the engagement ring, it was even better than we imagined! We chose to go back for both our wedding bands, and the process was amazing once again. Altana listened to what we were looking for, and...

    A Bride, A Groom, and Five Rings

    Altana is so great! Working with her and her sister Cassandra was a very easy process. Altana did a wonderful job discussing design ideas, budget, and timeline. She made us FIVE RINGS. We were originally ordering a three ring stack, but we added the wedding band for my partner and she made us a little stacking ring for my set.

    I am so glad we found her and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

    Fantastic experience working with Altana!

    After nearly a year of researching the best jewelers for my engagement ring, I found Altana's jewelry at Fiat Lux's Fillmore store. Altana's website and Instagram profile had a ton of useful information that helped me gain the confidence to work with her. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that her shop was situated less than a mile away from me! From the initial consultation to the proposal, Altana had been incredibly involved throughout the entire process. Altana's passion, expertise, craftsmanship, and creative drive convinced me that she would undoubtedly bring my vision to life. While other jewelers had many limitations, Altana made sure that I got the exact ring that I wanted. I deeply appreciate her sharing...

    An artist like none other

    After a rather horrible experience with the original makers of my engagement ring (poorly crafted and constantly breaking) , I brought the piece to Altana and she rebuilt it and redesigned it with me. I was in awe of her ability to take all the things I loved/didn’t love about it, respect the initial design, and put her stamp of quality and artistry on it. I am so in love with the ring I have now and it feels so sturdy and solid.

    Her artistry ran free when we asked her to build my wedding band to compliment it. My husband and I had very different ideas and in our consultation she laid out different patterns and...

    Designed the perfect ring for me to say YES to

    Altana worked with my now -Fiancé and they did an amazing job. I love my piece. She was so thorough and really tried to understand my style and what I liked.They had multiple iterations on the design and it came out beautifully. I needed to get it resized and she did the perfect job on that too. Now that I know of her I will want to go back to design some myself with her.

    Client Dedicated and lovely to work with!

    Altana is amazing to work with and delivered a beautiful custom ring for me. My fiancé and I designed a custom ring with Altana, and she helped us bring our dream ring to life. She always goes above and beyond for her clients and we loved working with her!

    Not Your Average Engagement Ring

    Finding the "perfect" engagement ring can be stressful and daunting. It can be difficult to figure out what your partner or what you may actually want vs what society and the jeweler you're talking to are telling you to want. The daunting experience can be even more so for queer couples.

    With Altana, however, all of the confusion and stress disappears.
    A friend had recommended working with Altana because of their wonderful experience, and Altana did not disappoint.
    Altana is an artist first, jeweler second, thus all of her creations are unique, beautifully crafted, and reflect a piece of you and your partner.
    She treats you like a creative equal partner during the entire...

    Custom beauty

    Altana made sure we had the PERFECT engagement ring. We collaborated, and went back and forth on the design inspiration, materials, sketches, and everything in between. At the end, Cassandra, her sister (they are a team!), helped scheme against my partner, so I could fully surprise her with a finished ring, which she LOVED. Thank you!

    Beautiful Mitsuro Engagement and Wedding Rings!

    Altana is incredible! She worked with us for several months on custom engagement rings and wedding bands, culminating in beautiful matching sets with incredible texture and detail. My rings have excellent excellent weight, fit, and sizing; Altana worked with us through the design phase, as well as test fitting, final finish, and even on-site delivery. We love our rings and would look forward to working with Altana again for future pieces!

    Outstanding & Remarkable Service!

    We had no idea what to expect with our first experience shopping for engagement rings but after finding Altana and reading online reviews we wanted to schedule a visit. From the start Altana and her sister Cassandra made my partner and I feel special and comfortable throughout the entire process. It was a lot more fun and insightful than we both expected. Altana is so knowledgeable and friendly. After one visit my partner found her perfect ring! And to make things extra special Altana & Cassandra even helped me surprise my partner by expediting the ring to be ready for me to propose on Christmas Eve. We would both totally recommend and can’t wait to get our wedding bands from her. Thanks Altana and Cassandra from taking care of us and making our engagement so special!

    Altana is the best!

    We wanted to have custom wedding bands, locally made, and were SO LUCKY to have found Altana. We had a spur of the moment ceremony and only had about 2 weeks to get everything ready. We were pretty sure we wouldn't be able to get custom bands in time, which we were OK with. Altana could see how much it would mean to us to get bands in time and really went out of her way to make space in her schedule, meet with us, and design and create bands that were perfect. She and Cassandra were so warm and responsive, and the whole process was seamless and enjoyable. Thank you Altana, we LOVE our new rings!

    Expert guide through the world of custom jewelry

    Altana is a master jeweler and wonderful guide through the process of creating custom jewelry.

    I was intimidated by having to make decisions on my "forever jewelry", but her expertise gave me all the confidence I needed and made it exciting instead! Things that made a difference for us: 1) materials sourced are of best quality and come with documentation for appraisal
    2) she helped us visualize the engagement and wedding rings together 3) suggested changes to help us achieve the aesthetic we wanted and event created examples to try on! 4) I love the precision with which the diamonds are set.
    Above all, Altana's execution is delicate, exquisite and enduring!
