    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 her talents with us, and for working closely with my partner to meet his budget and deadline. Thank you, Altana and Cassandra!

    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.

    Talented and amazing jeweler

    All of Altana's pieces are incredible but my favorite one I have so far is my engagement ring. She worked with my partner on it for months (without much/any direction from me) and she designed the perfect ring. It is timeless and understated but tasteful; I absolutely love it. Every single detail is flawlessly executed and that just describes Altana's intuition and work in a nutshell. I will come back to her for every single jewelry piece that means a lot to me. Thank you, Altana!

    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 process, rather than just another transaction.
    If you're thinking about buying an engagement ring (or any jewelry really), Altana Fine Jewelry is a must stop!

    Altana - thanks for helping us create a memorable engagement, a magnificent ring for my grandma, and for the wonderful, safe, and inclusive ambience.

    (PS shoutout to Salami and Cassandra as well!)

    10000% Recommend

    I was looking for an engagement ring for my fiancé, and a great friend of mine recommended Altana. I had an initial meeting with her where I explained that I didn’t know much of what I wanted, but explained a couple of ideas and my budget, and she was fantastic. She explained everything, went over a few different options, and the process started! I can’t recommend her enough; her communication, design and price was perfect, my fiancé loves her ring, and we will definitely come back for our wedding bands.

    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.

    Altana was amazing!

    Altana designed a ring for my fiancee and I. It was such a fun adventure and we are so happy with the result! Altana was a joy to work with in every way, she did such a good job of listening to what my fiancee wanted and helping her figure out the decisions she wasn't sure about and we ended up with something really special and unique. Thank you Altana!

    Thank you Altana!

    Altana is the absolute best! My partner and I designed our custom rings with her and I can’t recommend the experience enough. I was generally overwhelmed and had no idea what I wanted and Altana was informative, calming, and so patient. She went above and beyond to turn around a completed ring in record time for a surprise proposal, which was hosted in her beautiful backyard event space. I couldn’t recommend her more!

    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.

    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 see it through masterfully from start to finish, and get me the ring on time! I can hardly believe that what was just a simple thought and a drawing, was able to become a beautiful, custom gold ring, and delivered to me on time for the proposal. My girlfriend was so elated, and everything went perfect... Yes, she is now is my beautiful fiancée... I love her so much, and to be able to give her something that no one else in the world has made the cherry on top of it all, and I owe it all to Altana alone! Nobody else could have pulled this off, and to have done it on time and with such masterful precision. I highly recommend Altana, especially if you have a very important ring that needs to come together perfectly. Altana is the one!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Outsanding Custom Ring Experience with Local Bay Area Jeweler

    We had a tight deadline for creating our engagement ring, and were set on working with a local jeweler in the Bay Area. We feel so fortunate to have found Altana, and cannot recommend her enough! Communicating with her and her sister Cassandra felt personal and genuine from the start. We knew Altana's style was the right match, with a perfect balance of classic and modern aesthetics. The custom design process was wonderful, and she facilitated a collaborative experience for us that resulted in a beautiful 8 petal prong, peach sapphire ring. The quality and craftsmanship of the ring is outstanding, and reflects Altana's care and thoughtfulness. I am so happy to see Altana's storefront open and thriving in Oakland, and hope that many others choose to have Altana join their ring journey!

    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.

    If your cool friend was a talented jeweler

    Altana was a delight to work with, she makes you feel comfortable right away and patiently takes time to understand your preferences and taste to create something that’s just right (in your budget!) Working with Altana couldn’t be further from a stuffy, intimidating (and $$$) jewelry counter. She clearly loves what she does. (And she’s a great Insta follow—so many beautiful pieces!!)

    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!
