Lang Antique & Estate Jewelry

Lang’s is the perfect shop for 1920’s art deco, art nouveau, and Edwardian one of a kind pieces! Elizabeth was amazing and extremely knowledgeable! She helped us find the perfect unique engagement ring🤗

We had a phenomenal experience. I booked the visit online and was met by Kaye, the most wonderful associate. She guided us through the process and was responsive to our needs. Additionally, after we bought the ring her and her team were very flexible in allowing for re sizing the ring. When we came by months later to resize the ring, Kaye even remembered our initial discussions around the ring and greeted us with champagne! We had incredible service and also a gorgeous ring. Would highly recommend Lang!

I recently purchased an antique engagement ring from Lang online. I was hesitant at first because I couldn’t visit the shop to see the piece I was interested in before buying. Nervously I requested more information via their website about several rings. Tracey responded quickly and worked with me over the phone and via email to ensure I got the ring I wanted at a great price. She was very informative, accommodating and professional. She helped me feel comfortable about the purchase and shipping and returns. It was sized perfectly, even came in a delicate little ring box and was accompanied by a GIA certificate. My lady loved it so much she could barely speak for hours after I proposed! Thanks again Tracey and Lang for helping make this moment one of the most memorable of our lives! I had a great experience and highly recommend you check them out too!

Lang Antiques is a very honest and ethical business. The pictures in the website are exact representation of the pieces. Tracey is an excellent sales rep, who guided me during the purchase of my bracelet. I was very happy with the transaction and service.

Wonderful customer service with a special shout out to Tracey! Aquired a gorgeous classic Bellarri bracelet at a fair price in excellent condition. Beautiful gift wrap and fast shipping . Highly recommend this seller and would not hesitate to do business with Lang in the future.

I purchased an engagement ring at Lang Antique & Estate Jewelry as I had a specific ring I was looking for. I called and spoke with Ed, I made an appointment, and flew out there to buy the ring. This was probably the easiest transaction I've ever done. Ed knew a lot about jewelry, and I knew I was in good hands. I would suggest anyone contemplating Lang to go ahead and do so! I will be back!

My fiancé and I were a little nervous considering an engagement ring sight unseen and untried from across the country (we are in MA). I found out about Lang's when inquiring online in numerous Reddit groups about reputable antique dealers that carried uniquely colored sapphires. The pictures on Lang's website seemed very clear and accurate, which drew me in. Their policies (complimentary resizing, returns within 10 days for full refund if dissatisfied, etc.) gave me confidence to move forward with the process. I reached out to them to seek advice on whether the ring could be stacked with an existing ring I had. I sent pictures of the current ring and Elizabeth from Lang's took the time to find similar rings in their collection and sent me pictures to ensure the rings would go nicely together. After that, we were sold. We paid via wire transfer (which resulted in a slight discount). Despite the holiday season, resizing took only several days and delivery was arranged promptly thereafter via FedEx overnight requiring signature. Of course, I missed the delivery due to an appointment I had that day, but was easily able to retrieve it from the local FedEx delivery center at the end of the day. The ring was just as stunning as expected and fit beautifully. A big thank you to Elizabeth and Lang's for the customer service they provided through this experience - their communication at each step via email was invaluable and the process was made so simple and smooth. My fiancé and I are very happy customers!

Lang carries very high quality jewels. Tracey, my contact, is easy to work with, knowledgeable and helpful. If the jewel is not a perfect fit, returns are very easy and are not questioned. High standards for jewels and staff. A wonderful experience all around. I highly recommend them.

I recently purchased a mid-century jewelry piece from this online store--a piece I had always dreamed of owning. Before completing the sale, I raised concerns with Elizabeth, the sales associate, based on the item's photographs. I identified several issues, including worn holding loops, extensive staining on the back, and a lack of movement in the pendant--a feature clearly designed to function. I specifically requested that the item be cleaned and thoroughly inspected prior to shipping. Elizabeth answered: "I will have our jewelers take a look at them before boxing them up for shipping and inspect them to make sure nothing is bent. The bottom sections do move freely." The item was ultimately described and sold as being in "very good condition" according to their point-of-sale documentation. However, upon arrival, the jewelry broke the moment I removed it from the box--hardly the hallmark of a piece in "very good condition." Alarmed, I consulted two local jewelers to explore repair options. Both confirmed that the piece had been previously repaired using tin. Tin complicates further repairs, making all subsequent repairs prone to new fractures, spreads uncontrollably, and permanently stains gold. The jewelers also identified other undisclosed issues: chipped stones, a broken prong, worn loops, and a soldered pendant that could no longer move as designed. The complexity of any future restoration left me questioning whether the item's condition had been intentionally misrepresented. When I brought these findings to the store's attention and said I prefer to keep the item and detailed the discrepancies between the described and actual condition of the item, the defects, and the significant challenges and costs of potential repairs, the owner, Mark Zimmelman, initially communicated the following: "Mark Zimmelman here, co-owner of Lang's. Please contact me at your convenience and I will do my utmost to rectify your negative experience. We aim to please." and then again: "Mark Z. Business Owner. Please contact me (the owner) at your convenience. I assure that we will settle the matter to your complete satisfaction. Promise. Mark Zimmelman ..." When I contacted him, he only agreed to fix the damage "that may have occurred during shipping," and after that, they stopped communicating and did not return either phone calls or emails. What about other complicated repairs the item needed in order to be used securely and as intended? This experience left me with the impression that the store prioritizes making a sale over ensuring transparency and honesty about the true condition of the items they sell. The idea of reselling antique jewelry is a wonderful one but its success hinges on the seller maintaining customer trust by providing accurate, complete information and pricing items appropriately based on their condition. Regrettably, this store failed to meet that standard, leaving me with a beautiful yet damaged item requiring costly restoration, a frustrating experience, and no confidence in their business practices--all of that for a repeat customer and someone who paid in full.

Lang Antique & Estate Jewelry has one of the best collections of estate and antique jewelry in the entire country. As a collector who has hunted far and wide for the pieces in my collection, I can make that statement with some degree of authority. But besides having extraordinarily beautiful jewelry to choose from, the customer service is really incredible! If you forge a relationship with one of the employees, not only will they help facilitate such important parts of sales as sizings and adjustments, but they learn your style and if you ask them to, will keep their eyes open for anything that comes into the store that you might light. This is very handy if you have particular tastes! I personally am into Bohemian garnet jewelry. I've bought several pieces from them that fall into this category for very reasonable prices and in excellent condition. The employees here are incredibly knowledgeable about jewelry and gems, which isn't necessarily something you can take for granted in many jewelry stores. The items I've purchased at Lang always appraise well above what I paid for them, and I've never had an incident like a popped stone or broken chain or setting. The store itself is tiny, but well-lit, very comfortable and pretty, and it IS WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE. Prices start well under $1K and there are many beautiful pieces under $2,500, including vintage diamond engagement rings. Lang has pieces in their collection that include some more unusual stones, such as demantoid garnets, star sapphires, and coral. When I've got the itch for a new-to-me piece of jewelry, this is always the first place I look! I definitely highly recommend Lang!

Excellent service and a large selection of beautiful jewelry. I am very pleased with my purchase especially since I was able to get it on sale. The value is hard to beat.

I love Lang! Beautiful, timeless, and the best service and quality. My husband got me my engagement ring and two wedding bands here. Now, for our 10-year, we were going to buy an anniversary ring on an international trip we are taking, but then reconsidered when I went back and found exactly what I was dreaming of for half the price. They clean my rings every few months (for free) and always inspect the rings to make sure no stone is out of place. Once, they caught a minor shift in one of the diamonds and repaired it for $125. Incredible service and the best value for a unique, one-of-a kind sparklers.

Absolutely wonderful experience working with Tracey at Lang Antique! I had confidence from the beginning making this purchase from Wisconsin. The customer service and follow up was second to none. And my ring is exactly what I have been hoping to find. The selection of antiques and Lang originals are just stunning!

This is a an amazing shop with a great selection of inventory. I didn't want a "new" diamond ting for several reasons, primarily ethics and design. I started my search at Brilliant Earth, but was appalled with three horrible service. After deciding that if I were to her engaged, then it'd have to be a vintage ring. We did a ton of research in the Bay Area and found nothing comparable to the Art Deco pieces Lang offered. What truly makes this place unique is their level of service. Kaye Rodden helped me and I was so impressed by her expertise and kindness. I didn't feel pressured to look at more expensive rings nor judged for my preference. She was super attentive without being pushy and that was, as much as the quality of the ring, instrumental in my decision to purchase from Lang. Bonus: they offer a 5% military discount!! Totally unexpected, but definitely appreciated.

From start to finish, my experience purchasing a ring with Kaye at Lang jewelry was spectacular. She helped me find the perfect antique diamond ring within my price range; she found a victorian ring that was a perfect fit (no sizing needed) and was very special. I've purchased from specialty antique jewelers in Europe and New York City, the experience at Lang was one of the best among them! I'm already thinking about what my next ring will be.

10 STARS!! I currently live in Miami, FL, and my now fiance was tipped off to the fact that I wanted this ring. We've had an incredible experience with Lang, from start to finish; him with the ordering and delivery process, me with the resizing and recurring emails/guest service. Phenomenal guest experience - everything done at the highest level and in a timely manner. I feel incredibly lucky that I found my dream ring at Lang, as I could not imagine having a better experience with this process anywhere else. Forever thankful. I highly recommend.

I've purchased a few pieces from Lang this year, and it's been the best experience. I don't live locally, and the price points for my pieces have been high, so it was important to me to have a direct contact. Tony has been incredibly fun and helpful. He is super responsive and answers all of my questions. The shipping has been incredibly fast, secure, and the packaging/presentation lovely. Most importantly, the pieces are super high quality, beautiful, and in excellent shape (I've bought vintage). I joked with Tony that Lang should ship every piece of jewelry with a pair of sunglasses because of how sparkly it has all been! If you're looking for high quality, special and unique pieces paired with excellent customer service, look no further than Lang, whether you're local or not! Tony and Lang Antiques have a lifelong customer in me!

Mr & I were strolling around Union Square & as I got sucked into all the sparklie windows, there was an exquisite diamond negligee necklace I saw at Lang Antiques that I suspected was way out of my price range but worth a shot - after all, I had been happily surprised when I'd taken a chance at Fourtane Jewelers in Carmel & ended up w/ *THE* most beautiful watch... So enter Lang we do, to see about this necklace. The shop is so jampacked full of antique & estate pieces that it's hard to see it all - much like missing the trees for the forest (to reverse an idiom) - but have patience & take time to find your treasure In addition to necklaces, rings, bracelets, pins & the like, their engagement ring selection is exceptionally large....if you're in the market for a certain important question ( as at least 3 guys that day were ), definitely check here first But be forewarned - the shop is *extremely* small & it got so crowded that they were literally turning people away at the door. It's not personal but you may need to wait a few minutes until someone leaves Alas for us, the necklace was indeed a bit too precious & as I had no special-event excuse to justify the purchase, we had to say our farewells. But all was not lost, as fate had something else in mind that day.....my eyes were guided towards this sweet Victorian "REGARD" necklace History Lesson: Prince Albert presented a snake engagement ring to Queen Victoria b/c back in Victorian times, the snake symbolized "eternal love". Then we have the heart-shaped locket & on top of that, its gemstone initials spell out the word "regard" - Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, Diamond. So there's a lot of love action going on w/ this necklace....very cool concepts that paired very well w/ Valentine's Day. Plus I especially dig things w/ hidden meanings! Which brings me to another forewarning: While some antique places offer wiggle room on their prices, Lang does not ...the price is the price. They *can* offer a 3% discount if you're paying in cash or via wire transfer but other than that, zero negotiations. So knowing what we knew & seeing what we saw & after pondering for the afternoon, we decided to go back & take that little locket home w/ us.....of course, it was after we stopped by the bank b/c hey, I can use that 3% towards the increase in my insurance Overall, have to say I didn't get any overwhelming warm fuzzies by my shopping experience here. They're just too darn busy to spend any quality time & they certainly didn't expound on any piece's particular history or backstory. The only attachment you'll make to a piece is the 1 you create for yourself

We had a great experience finding an engagement ring at Lang. If you are concerned about ethical sourcing and environmental impact, a second-hand ring is the way to go. Lang has a wonderful selection and we had fantastic customer service from Kaye. Highly recommend!

omg I just received my pin it is so beautiful . The way it was wrapped up and shipped is nothing I have ever seen so nice. My first purchase and will be back as they have beautiful selection of jewelry I am really happy I did. Thank you very much . Nancy

A gem of a jewelry store! Lang has beautiful antique pieces and a lovely staff to guide you through them. I highly recommend working with Kaye. She helped me find the perfect engagement ring and patiently answered my (never ending) questions about it. I had some issues with the sizing, but she worked with the store specialist to make sure we got it right. She even expedited the process to ensure we had the ring in time for a family trip.

Incredible purchasing experience! As a client on the other side of the country, I couldn't have asked for more. I was greeted by friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff each time I called. My questions were answered promptly and I received all the info I needed to make a confident buying decision, including additional videos and photos of the item I was interested in. I received my item next day. It arrived with a hand-written note in a charming ring box. The only thing more impressive than the customer service was the gorgeous vintage ring I received. I will certainly be a return customer at Lang!

My ex husband purchased my engagement ring here. He was told it was an early Edwardian era diamond engagement ring and paid over $6,000 for it. Cut to down the road and he and I get divorced and I start looking around to sell the ring. One of the places I took it to for appraisal was back to Lang - the appraiser told me it was *NOT* in fact Edwardian era, but pieced together from various Victorian era diamonds and band. She then offered me $1,000 for it. So I have a real problem with the dishonesty of this place --either the salesperson was dishonest to my ex. Or the appraiser was dishonest. Just beware and do your homework and before you blow 6 grand make sure it really is what they say it is.

Just a short response to the one star review left by Felix. I had a designer jewelry store in San Francisco's Cow Hollow area and I must say that the people at Lang's Antiques know more about antique jewelry than 99% of the antique jewelers I have met. They even established an Antique Jewelry University where many dealers have gained an education. I think that Felix must have misinterpreted the information that was given to him. Often times antique jewelry is repaired with techniques or materials that are not representative of the original manufacture. This can make them unacceptable for the antique jewelry purist. Lang's Antiques is well known in the jewelry business as one of the very finest in the United States and one of the things that separates them from their competitors is that they are purists who would not sell an antique item modified with modern elements as an antique piece.

My engagement ring is from Lang. Best experience ever and had to come leave a review after this last round. I received my ring in April (now September) and the prongs on the center stone had already lifted twice. The first time, I took it in and they tightened them for me. The second time, they took it more seriously. Land sent my ring away to their jeweler, who redesigned the prongs to be more sturdy. It's beautiful and blends seamlessly with the rest of the ring and they didn't charge a thing. Thank you!!

Lang Antiques has a new lifelong customer. Because I did NOT get married, after all. A few months before my wedding date, I purchased my wedding ring from Lang Antiques. This ring was and remains one of the most beautiful rings I have ever seen. Since I make more money than my fiancé, and didn't want "the ring" to get away, I purchased it myself. However, a few months later, I discovered that my fiancé had been cheating on me for years. I contacted Lang, and they generously agreed to accept the ring back for a full refund. I KNOW that they didn't have to do this. This is NOT their usual return policy. But when I was going through the darkest days of my life, Lang was there to support me and make it less financially painful. I will be forever grateful to Nicole and Suzanne of Lang Antiques for their kindness and generosity of spirit. They wrote me the sweetest, most supportive emails. When I do find the right man for me, I will return to Lang Antiques to buy my next ring. THANK YOU.

Though it's a delight shopping at this store and/or receiving gifts purchased from it, I am displeased with their record keeping as well as the "service" provided by Angela Grigsby, the repair manager.

Lang is a great place to look for a vintage engagement ring. They have a huge selection of rings in great shape and the customer service was to notch. Best of all, they don't require an appointment. Lang was the first stop in my engagement ring hunt based on their website--it has very clear pictures and detailed info about everything they have in stock, which was useful both before and after my visit. (Their store policies are also clearly outlined on the website.) I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted at the time, but the sales associate who helped my partner and I was super helpful, patient, and encouraged me to try on as many as I liked. She didn't try to push us into buying anything--in fact, she encouraged us to look around at other shops, but said that Lang has the best selection in town. She was right. After scouring Yelp and searching for other antique jewelery stores, I was less impressed with the competition. Many were by appointment only (with pretty limited hours) or had a much smaller selection that wasn't as clean or as well cared for. Ultimately, I decided not to get a vintage ring, but I was impressed by my experience there and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for vintage jewelry.

Our experience at Lang Antique & Estate Jewelry could not have gone better. After a colleague suggested that we visit the store, we decided to check out the website first. The Lang website is very clean and easy to navigate through their collection of beautiful jewelry from the past. The photographs are very sharp and clean, allowing the viewer to see the jewelry from multiple angles. We were on the hunt for an engagement ring that was unique compared to what is currently popular now. After finding several rings that fit our taste and budget, we decided to visit the store and see them in person. As soon as we arrived, Barbra welcomed us through the door and made us feel as if we could spend all day there looking at every piece in the building. Her wealth of knowledge about precious metals, gemstones, and the history of the pieces in their collection is something that will stick in our minds forever. Barbra went above and beyond normal expectations to give us the greatest buying experience from start to finish. After looking at many rings within our price range, we had a good list to base our decision on. Two weeks after our first visit, we made our second trip to Lang with excitement and confidence in our decision to buy a one of a kind piece of history. A very sparkly, beautifully designed, and well-loved piece of history. Thanks again to Barbra and everyone else at Lang Antique & Estate Jewelry for helping us find the perfect engagement ring and wedding band that will live to see another hundred years!

Lang Antiques has made buying a ring for my wife for our 20th anniversary the best experience. Not only is their selection of jewelry superb, but their staff and customer service are top notch as well. Tracey is very responsive and knowledgeable and took the time to quickly send out pictures comparing a couple rings. If you are looking for any fine jewelry I highly recommend you check them out, especially if you are interested in antique items.

When I decided to propose to my girlfriend, I knew that I wanted to find a ring that was as unique as she. I suppose that I'm a romantic at heart, and I wanted to surprise her with both the proposal and the ring, so I did not elicit any suggestions as I wanted to give no hints. There were many options, but I narrowed down my jewelers of choice to Lang Antiques and Dianne's New and Old Estates. I visited Lang's website which shows the store's entire live inventory. The rings here are primarily estate pieces, many dating to the Edwardian Era (1901-1919) or older. There are also a very few new and modern rings, but the best pieces here are all Edwardian or Art Deco rings. The detail and style achieved by the craftsmen of those long gone times is not easily replicated. The truth is that the engagement rings at Lang Antiques make the wares at Shreve & Company or Tiffany & Company look like mass produced baubles that fell off of an assembly line. If you love labels or want something shiny and new, but without spirit, then feel free to visit one of those other establishments. Maybe pick up a soda and hotdog while you snatch up a ring at Costco? Lang is easily walkable from the Montgomery BART if you choose to eschew San Francisco parking. The store is fairly tiny, accommodating no more than four couples comfortably, but it is packed with timeless jewelry from wall to wall. Once inside, I knew that visiting any other jeweler would be unnecessary. There are amazing rings here for as little as $700, and for over $150000. Let's just say that I found a comfortable range somewhere in the middle. Each ring that I looked at was unique and one-of-a-kind. Julie, a GIA trained salesperson, helped me find a group of rings that were within my price range and were the right look for what I thought my girlfriend would love. She gave me a refresher course on diamond basics, on vintage rings, and also advised that there is a 3% cash discount for all purchases, which would otherwise be paid as merchant fees to their credit card vendors. As such, I made an appointment to return the following day. After a sizeable bank withdrawal (requiring Federal disclosure reporting), I returned to Lang where Angela helped me with my final purchase. Luckily, the sales people here pool their commissions, so there is no undue, cutthroat pressure from anyone at Lang. It should be noted that not all of the rings here are able to be GIA certified as this type of certification requires a loose diamond, and removing vintage diamonds from their existing rings could often cause irreparable damage. That being said, many of the rings here do have a GIA cert, if such a thing offers you any peace of mind. In the end, I found a ring with a conflict-free, one hundred year old diamond that had been salvaged from a ring unsuitable for resale, and mounted into a new ring, handcrafted in the Edwardian style. Though Lang may not be the right jeweler for everyone, it was the right choice for me (us). And she said yes!

I purchased an engagement ring for my girlfriend in July 2017 online from Lang Antiques. I was looking for something vintage and unique and didn't want to deal with the Diamond District. I came across Lang's website and almost immediately found a ring that I thought would be perfect. I browsed around other shops, but kept coming back to Lang as their information on the ring was thorough and their prices seemed very reasonable. They also have a great return and resizing policy, so I didn't have to worry about getting stuck with a less than perfect ring. I was hesitant to make such a large purchase online, so I reached out to Lang to inquire more about the ring and resizing. Nicole got back to me right away with more information and even offered to send more photographs of the ring. Even better news, she let me know they were having a Summer Sale on their jewelry. She helped me set up shipping to my Ma's house upstate (no doorman!) and contacted me at each step of the shipping and resizing process. Their website said that resizing can take up to two weeks, but they seemed to have done it overnight! I proposed during the eclipse in Central Park and my soon to be wife absolutely loved the ring! Nicole followed up with me soon after to see how everything went and if we needed any additional size adjustments. Awesome customer service and a great shop! I highly recommend working with Lang if you are looking for something unique.

UPDATE 03/2013: I highly recommend Lang (and am upping them to 5 stars) because once again, their customer service was EXCELLENT. My platinum engagement ring cracked at the joints where it was resized; I had no idea this could happen! However, they took it, said they would fix it free of charge, and it would be ready in two weeks. I was getting ready to visit elderly relatives and friends in Portland, OR in less than a week, and I had been looking forward to showing them my ring. Since I operate under the "it doesn't hurt to ask" theory, I explained the situation and asked if there was anything that could be done (without expecting it -- I was grateful my ring was being repaired free of charge!). Sure enough, they put my ring on a rush, and I am so grateful. --------------------- My SO and I talked about getting engaged well over a year before we actually made it "official." Much of this time was spent browsing estate ring selections -- I have been to several estate jewelry purveyors in the city, but I found Lang to be BY FAR the best in terms of selection and the website. I had already made up my mind that I wanted an antique ring, because they are generally one-of-a-kind, with detailed settings that you can't find if you walk into Kay Jewelers. I think solitaires are boring -- I need intricate detail, please! Not to mention that it is an ethical and affordable choice, all things considered. The entire reason I went to Lang was because their website is up-to-date and has clear photos (from multiple angles) of every single piece. Although I couldn't get my SO to go for the $100+k options (gee, I wonder why), there was a huge selection of antique pieces for me to choose from. We ended up coming in twice. I found what I thought was THE ring once, but when he went to buy it, it was gone. (Hint: RINGS TURN OVER FAST. IF YOU FIND THE ONE, SNATCH IT UP QUICK!) That ended up being okay, because I found something I liked even better! Both times that I came in, I found the staff to be extremely helpful and friendly. The fact that they liked my rough-cut labradorite ring didn't hurt, either. Either way, I was straightforward about our general budget -- which was pretty moderate -- and they were more than able to present us with many gorgeous selections. The first sizing is free, and they did a beautiful job on mine. As far as I understand, my SO was very happy with their services, too. I have stopped writing this review no less than 3 times to admire my lovely ring. ;) I would HIGHLY recommend Lang. Check the website periodically to see what's available, and stop in to try it on. Best of all, their staff (in my experience) was very low pressure and were more than happy to let me try on 20-30 rings, take pictures of the top contenders, and see us walk out the door without buying anything just yet. That's something I really appreciate.

When my then boyfriend decided it was time to pop the question, he wanted to make sure he got me the ring of my dreams. I decided I wanted an antique ring and this was my second stop after Dianne's on Union. My fingers are TINY and I'm not even exaggerating. My experience trying on rings was that the bigger rings didn't look as good as 2 rings that were close to my actual size. The one that ended up stealing my heart was a Granat Brothers ring from the 1950's. It was so stunning that I had tears in my eyes so I was pretty certain at that moment that I had chosen the right ring. The lady helping us out even told us a little factoid about Granat Brothers. They were the leading art deco jeweler of San Francisco up until the early 1970's. Their craftsmanship is one of a kind yet timeless. That was it, I had to have it. 2 long months after he purchased the ring I finally got to put it on my finger and it was just as stunning as I remembered. It still needed to be slightly sized down so they put metal studs on the bottom of the ring so actual sizing wouldn't be done to damage the ring. Everyone there is impeccably professional, informative, and extremely enthusiastic about their craft of antique jewelry. Their selection can't be beat. If you want the ring of your dreams, look no further than Lang. My experience was top notch and they have rightfully earned their reputation as THE place to go for vintage and estate jewelry.

I stopped into Lang on a whim one day when I was early for an appointment nearby. I had been looking for months for a wedding band for my heirloom engagement ring that once belonged to my husband's grandmother. The problem we had been having was that my engagement ring is not a huge solitaire and it is a three stone ring so I needed a wedding band with a gradual curve. On top of that we wanted something that looked like it came from a similar time period as the engagement ring. We had looked at a bunch of commercial jewelry stores and most of the curved bands had big curves for large solitaire rings and the few that we found that had the correct curve looked modern and generic. We were about to have a custom band made for $$$ when I stopped into this store. The ladies at Lang were beyond helpful and I really felt like they appreciated my engagement ring, one because it was an heirloom so it had special meaning, and two because of the craftsmanship that went into making it even though it is simple and small compared to modern day rings. After giving me lots of helpful information on the era that my ring was from they showed me the few vintage wedding bands that they had. Apparently vintage bands are hard to come by since it wasn't always the fashion to wear wedding bands. After not seeing anything in the vintage rings they asked if I was open to a replica ring because they had an art deco one that they designed that they thought had the correct curve. It was love at first sight! Best part is it was very reasonably priced compared to the custom option we were going to have made so I was able to get two bands for either side of my ring! I went back a few weeks later to order and pay for my bands and it just so happened to be Valentine's Day. As a gift they were handing out a box of fancy chocolate truffles and a full bottle of champagne for anyone who bought jewelry that day! Bonus! My rings came in much earlier than they quoted me and my husband and I absolutely love them! Also, I would be remiss if I did not mention the glorious vintage rings and jewelry they have in here. I was drooling every time I came in. Thanks Lang!

I love vintage rings. So when my now husband and I first started talking about looking at engagement rings we knew we had to stop into Lang Antiques. The staff was so helpful and friendly! They helped me try on a variety of rings and styles to get an idea of what I would like. Needless to say I love, love, love my engagement ring. It is so unique and beautiful. If you are looking for vintage jewelry Lang Antiques is the place to go!

Lang antiques told me my antique coral ring was of great value and that I would get around 1500.00 and that I would need to send it to get true estimate on what I would get. Once they had it they offered a little over 200.00 saying it had loose stone. at the time I needed the money though I knew it was worth much more I had to take there offer. I kept checking their website and low and behold they listed it in the thousands. I just want to say what they did is the lowest form of low when it comes to greedy crooks. The ring had so much history and one of a kind and explained my situation of why I had to sell it. I doubt they lost any sleep knowing how bad they screwed me over. This was years ago and it still hurts to this day to think about it. These people are evil greedy crooks when it comes to buying your jewelry so beware!!

Do not ever think of selling anything to these crooks! They say they'll give you an appraisal-they don't and won't, they give you less than 10% of what they turn around and sell items for. Everything on their "selling to Lang's" page is a lie! They put down anything you bring, and give complete low ball offers only if you press them. They want you to tell them what you want for it. That's NOT an appraisal Run from these crooks!

If you are looking for a unique engagement ring, this hidden little gem is the place to go! They have a great selection of rings, Antique, Victorian, Art Deco and even Modern styles. Everything is one of a kind. The ladies working here are knowledgable and friendly. If you visit their website, you can see everything that they have in the store. The website is updated daily.

I have now purchased a few items from Lang. At first, I was a little nervous purchasing online fine jewelry. I have no reservations now. Their pieces are truly represented on their site. I needed to return a piece and it was a no-hassle process. And best of all, their service is top notch. You can buy with confidence from Lang!

For a few years I've been looking for something to replace my original wedding ring that was ultimately way too modern for my art deco-era heirloom engagement ring (e-ring). That search eventually led me to Lang where I found lots of antique and reproduction-vintage rings, many of which would work with my ring. I ultimately landed on a reproduction art deco ring in platinum, listed at a much lower cost than other platinum--and even white gold rings--from other places that I didn't like nearly as much. And so unique! I haven't seen anything else like it. Most shops that carry antique jewelry don't list them all online, making it difficult to shop if the store isn't in your area, but Lang had an impressive online offering. I was initially skeptical about making such a big and important purchase online, but Lang had an A+ rating with the BBB and great reviews on Yelp. They also promised a full refund if the ring didn't match with my e-ring or I was otherwise unhappy with it. I found the associates at Lang to be friendly, responsive, willing to help and well informed. I spent a while on the phone with one associate, who found a ring with similar proportions to my e-ring and sent me pictures of it paired with the ring I was interested in, so I could get an idea of how it would look together. They even agreed to special order it in my size, despite being unsure on my end if I would even like the ring with my engagement ring. Although the few week wait for the special order and shipping seemed torturous at the time, I ultimately received the ring a week sooner than promised and it is GORGEOUS! It FAR surpasses the pictures on the website. It's delicate, feminine, unique, sparkly, just beautiful. Fits my engagement ring almost like a glove and really COMPLIMENTS my e-ring instead of detracting from it like my original wedding ring did. EXACTLY what I've been searching for this whole time. I'm a very happy camper and highly recommend Lang!

I have been eyeing this shop for years and I just received my first purchase from Lang...A 1 carat emerald and diamond victorian era ring. It was much better than expected, it is gorgeous. It was also at a very fair price. I do not do a lot of jewelry shopping in the US simply because you can find better overseas for cost, but Lang has now a lifelong customer. The ring is outstanding and I love that it has history.

Edward and the Lang's team were extremely helpful and friendly. They made the whole experience of purchasing my wife's wedding ring painless. Edward really listened and recommended the best options for what I was looking for and made sure I was comfortable before completing the purchase. I highly recommend them to anyone shopping for quality jewelry!

Excellent selection of rings and lovely staff. They even had treats for our dog. We got a discount on our bands because we purchased the engagement ring here as well.

Had a lovely experience at Lang. I came in after finding a vintage wedding band on their website and Edward helped show it to me and let me try it on. After weeks of building up the ring in my head, I was disappointed by how it fit/looked on my hand in person. Edward quickly noted that I needed something a little daintier/petite for my fingers and found me a very sweet band that went perfectly with my engagement ring! So happy with the decision and love that it came in an equally dainty box!

Absolutely beautiful collection of jewelry which is organized by each era. The customer service was great. They were willing to show us items and didn't pressure us to buy. They had many one of a kind pieces. If you have money to spend and want something unique, this is the place to come!

Lang is extraordinary in every way. Their unique selection of antique jewelry can't be matched; their knowledge of their product(s) is incredible and their customer service is impeccable. Natalia is amazing. She was incredibly patient over the course of several visits helping my fiancee choose an engagement ring and took the time to explain all facets of the vintage rings she was viewing, from the cuts and quality of the diamonds to their history and origin. Lang and the entire team truly made this process painless and enjoyable. Natalia is a true professional and has my highest recommendation.

Lang Antique has a customer for life. Their staff are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Customer service is impeccable, and their selection of vintage estate jewelry is amazing. After spending weeks looking for an engagement ring online and in showrooms all over the Bay Area, my now wife and I knew we had found something special at Lang... a beautiful original handmade 1920s or 1930s Art Deco diamond engagement ring. We knew that we wanted a one-of-a-kind ring with a history, and after viewing this one at Lang, we found ourselves comparing every other ring we then saw to it. It was actually the first piece of fine jewelry I ever bought, and a little over my initial budget, but it was one of the best purchases I've ever made. My wife loves it and we'll cherish it as our first real family heirloom together. Thank you to Natalia, Nicole, and the rest of the Lang team!

Lisa at Lang Antiques was extremely patient and very helpful with me as I picked out my wife's anniversary present. My first pick was a bit too formal for my wife, Lang accepted the return with no problem, they even paid for return shipping and insurance. Once we had a new ring picked out Lang quickly resized it and shipped it next day. I sent a wire transfer 3:00pm EST and it arrived at my home in Florida at 12:00pm the following day. That is 21 hours from purchase to doorstep across the country, impressive! Thank you for making this an enjoyable experience, my wife LOVES her new ring!

I purchased several pieces from this place. I have a background in gems and jewelry. I am also familiar with this store's origins and the robbery. I was therefore astounded when I took some vintage pieces there for possible resale and consignment, only to be told they were not "antique" enough. Beware folks.

Just purchased a beautiful engagement ring here. I worked with Nicole and she was amazing. Great jewelry and customer service. I will be back to get my wedding band soon!

Absolutely the best selection of antique jewelry in the state of California possibly the entire United States. The selection is unreal and there something for every budget. The service is fantastic there's no pressure they just love jewelry and love to share their passion. I personally have purchased two pieces from Lang and have great joy every time I wear the pieces which stand the test of time. If you're looking for something unique and not cookie-cutter Lang is the place to go

Just walking into this store and enjoying the displays - is amazing. The service, thank you Natalia & Elizabeth, is the best. They are knowledgeable, kind and considerate. The entire experience was first-rate. We will continue to recommend them, continued success!

I am so happy with the way I was treated here. I took some estate jewelry in to see if they would consign it. They didn't take it BUT they treated me like I was important. I went to another place first in San Rafael, review pending, and was treated so horribly (condescendingly) that I left there almost in tears. My experience at Lang was completely the opposite. The woman I spoke to took the time to sit down with me and look at what I brought. She was engaging and kind. When she told me that they weren't going to take my jewelry she offered alternate suggestions and wrote them down on a piece of paper. She looked at everything and told me the rings I brought in were 24 carat gold with real "precious" stones. She encouraged me to take them elsewhere and explained they were worth more than I had initially thought. The other place I took them to first in San Rafael actually told me they were worthless and that I'd be lucky to find a friend to give them away for free to!!!?? The other thing I want to say about Lang is that their jewelry is AMAZING!!! I love antique jewelry and they have it in spades. It's also reasonably priced. I first looked online and though everything there is outstanding and gorgeous, a lot of the items online are higher priced items. I found many of the pieces in the store that I was drooling over to be affordable as well as vintage. As soon as I can, I'll be purchasing from Lang Antiques. They make people feel valuable and special.

This store has an incredible selection of antique and near antique jewelry. The staff is extremely knowledgable and is very accomodating. I have purchased 2 rings and 2 sets of earrings, all of which I get compliments about whenever I wear them. But be warned: this store is habit forming!

This place is my heaven! The service, the jewelry, the attention to detail! My husband has a long wish list from this place & I can't wait for my next special piece!

I had a ring shipped to Lang for review. They were very helpful and polite. They ended up passing on the purchase and offered to Fed Ex the ring back. My ring still hasn't arrived and has been listed in transit for the last four days for a total of 6 days past the promised delivery date. I am frustrated by this fact as it's a fairly expensive piece of jewelry that is now in limbo somewhere in the U.S. I wouldn't recommend shipping any items to them; visiting the brick and mortar store might be a better experience.
