Ounce of Salt Jewelry

I found Jen and her beautiful jewelry by looking for a specific ring and she had it!! I wanted an opal eternity band and she had the perfect one. I finally decided to purchase it and it was absolutely stunning. I have gotten so many compliments and inquiries about it. I then returned to Jen's website when I saw the Instagram post for her gift items at Valentine's day and immediately fell in love with the eternity pave ring and dainty ring. She was such a joy to work with, making sure I was able to get them both in the sizes I needed. Putting all the rings together is just simply beautiful and perfect. I can not wait to purchase more things that I have my eye on and hopefully do a custom piece soon.
Thank you so much, Jen! You are the best!

When my now fiancé and I started searching for an engagement ring, I knew right away I wanted an eternity band rather than a traditional solitaire ring. My online research led me to Ounce of Salt, Jen’s business. I loved that Jen provided such helpful and insightful information in her online blog regarding the technical considerations behind choosing an eternity band, such as cut and setting type. Although we live in San Diego, we booked an appointment to look at rings in her Manhattan Beach studio and made the drive up one weekend. Jen was so welcoming and helped us pick a ring design on a Saturday afternoon. The process of custom ordering, selecting the diamonds, and shipping the ring was seamless with great communication throughout. It has been over one year since receiving the ring and I continue to get compliments on it all the time. Thank you, Jen!

Jen sold me 2 chains - 1 for my wife’s bday and 1 to wear my late father’s wedding ring. Not only are they exactly what we wanted, but my wife wears hers every day, which is unusual for her. And I have never taken mine off since you help me put it on my neck. neck. She met me on a Sunday and found exactly what we needed when other jewelers couldn’t.

Jen was a pleasure to work with and helped me pick a new wedding band that I know I’ll love for years to come. She is super responsive, professional and delivers a beautiful, high quality product quickly! I look forward to working with her in the future, esp to help me repurpose some of my old jewelry.

I cannot recommend Jen enough. She was absolutely wonderful. I was clueless when it came to engagement rings -- but she made the entire process so easy. She was also incredibly affordable and easy to schedule meetings with. I'm glad I went with a local business in MB than a bigger chain.

I cannot recommend Jen highly enough. I am thrilled with the beautiful pieces I purchased...a few that were customized for me and a few that she had on hand (that I would swear were customized for me)! I have received so many compliments from friends, family and even strangers.

Jen's creativity, artistry and eye for beauty and detail are amazing, but the love and care she puts into each piece makes them truly special.

My 20 year old engagement ring was sitting in my jewelry box after having broken over 10 years ago. Being the picky person I am, I hadn’t found a setting I loved or a jeweler I trusted. After meeting with Jen, she sketched out a few ideas that she thought would match my personal style and showcase my diamond. I fell in love with one of the designs and it was a seamless process from there. Working with Jen was easy and fun and I trusted her judgment every step of the way. She paid attention to every detail and made sure that I was not just happy but in love with my new ring. My husband loves the new setting too. She is now my go-to for fine jewelry. Thank you so much Jen!

I absolutely love my diamond butterfly necklace! I received this gift and couldn’t be happier with the quality and design of this jewelry. This was such a special gift, and my boyfriend said it was very easy for him to purchase it online and have it delivered quickly. Can’t wait to purchase another piece from Ounce of Salt! :)

***UPDATE!!
My collection of jewelry has since increased, and we are engaged! I love my custom designed engagement ring that Jen worked with my fiancé in creating. A family diamond was used, which was even more special to have the care taken to create such a unique piece. I am someone who notices attention to detail, and everything is perfect about my ring. I’ve also just chosen my wedding bands, which Jen made very stress free and fun! Can’t wait for my next addition to Oz of Salt jewelry collection! Thanks Jen

I absolutely loved working with Jen and her amazing business Ounce of Salt Jewelry.
Jen is so friendly and professional and made the entire process so pleasant and fun.
She had great suggestions and encouraged me to be open minded to new pieces and designs.
We had a consultation via zoom and communicated easily through emails and texts. Her website is also great and very user friendly. I received amazing, personalized service.
The earrings I bought from Jen are totally gorgeous and classy. I loved all of her pieces, which are also elegant and timeless. I know I will buy more jewelry from Ounce of Salt Jewelry in the future. Amazing business, beautiful merchandise and fantastic customer service!

Jen is a complete professional with immense knowledge of the jewelry business and impeccable taste, but her warm, easy-going manner also makes her clients feel that she's a trusted friend. She makes great suggestions, shares honest opinions and is always looking for an amazing deal that she can share with her clients. She helped my husband pick out a beautiful necklace for me, guided me in finding a perfect necklace for my 50th birthday and even discovered ways to make some of my old pieces feel fresh and stylish again. I have super simple taste and a limited budget and never imagined I'd be one of those people who had a "personal jeweler" but I'd never buy another piece without seeking Jen's help.

After falling in love with some of her designs online, I met with Jen to discuss repurposing some items that I never wore, including my grandmother's engagement ring.

I loved the whole process and the pieces that resulted from it. Jen came up with a custom diamond necklace design that suits my style, and now I can keep my grandmother close to my heart, always.

I also bought the Twisted ring in white gold and wear it every day!

Jen is lovely to work with and if you've got items sitting unworn in your jewelry box, collect them up and go see her. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

I recently purchased a pair of round turquoise and gold trimmed post earrings from Once of Salt Jewelry! They were so beautiful in the picture, I knew I had to have them! I’ve been following Jennifer’s Once of Salt blog for some time now and she never ceases to amaze me! When she started creating jewelry, I was very impressed with the quality and variety of her pieces! When I decided to order the earrings, not only did I receive them within a few days, but they were wrapped in an adorable box with a classy bow! The presentation was great! When I opened the box, I was thrilled! The turquoise color and gold trim was even prettier than the picture! I absolutely love them and plan on acquiring more pieces of unique jewelry from Once of Salt Jewelry in the future! Thanks Jennifer for your talent and creativity!

My husband worked with Jen on designing the perfect eternity band for my 50th birthday. She worked so fast to have it done on time since he’d reached out pretty late in the game. It is an incredible piece! I soon realized that it was too large for my finger and I reluctantly reached out to her. She immediately solved the problem and I now have the most beautiful and perfectly fitted ring I could’ve imagined. She also pointed out that my wedding ring needed to be tightened quite a bit which she also took care of. She is so attentive to her clients and so meticulous about design. Jen is fabulous!!!

Jen Oliak is an outstanding jeweler. She is thoughtful and patient with a keen attention to detail. She handled two custom orders for me recently and everything was handled remotely. From original sketches identifying the concepts to her specific recommendations on gemstones, the entire process was seamless and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend Ounce of Salt for the quality of the finished product and service you can trust. I now understand why she has repeat customers across the entire country given how easy she made the process for me. Thank you!

Jen was wonderful to work with. I needed an anniversary gift for my wife and I'm so happy to have found Ounce of Salt. She responded to me right away and took the time to understand my wife's style before recommending a few different items. All of her suggestions were spot-on and my wife was thrilled with the bracelet I ended up selecting. Great experience from intro to delivery. I will be back again, thank you Jen!

I found Jen on Instagram and decided to reach out to her after liking her jewelry pieces and her personal voice that she shares with her followers. I asked her to custom-make a special necklace for me. The entire process (virtual due to COVID), from initial communication on Zoom to final delivery, was flawless. She's 100% committed to making sure that her customers are happy, and she's very transparent and communicative throughout the custom design process. I'm very happy with the final product and think Jen is stellar at what she does. I also think her pricing is very reasonable for the service and product she delivers. Highly recommended!

I’m not a fan of chain store jewelry so I was thrilled to find Ounce of Salt Jewelry. Jen’s designs are beautiful, elegant and original. The photos, videos and information on the website are thorough and easily accessible. The customer service I received was outstanding. Jen answered my questions and confirmed details from the start. She kept me apprised as my pieces were being crafted and delivered. I am very happy with my jewelry purchase and look forward to ordering my next piece of beautiful jewelry from Ounce of Salt.

Jen makes buying and investing in jewelry such a fun and personal experience. She has gone above and beyond to make sure that I am completely happy with my pieces. When there was something I needed changed, she took care of me so quickly.
Her professionalism and care is as powerful as her designs. The beauty doesn’t end with each piece; it continues through the relationship Jen creates with each client.

Jen is a pleasure to work with! She made the buying and designing process incredibly easy. She asked all the right questions to make sure I got exactly what I wanted and she had it made quickly for an amazing price. The quality is outstanding. I love my new ring. I highly recommend her and I have multiple friends who have been equally as happy with her.

We went to Jen Oliak seeking to have a wedding ring made to go with my engagement ring. Jen designed the PERFECT ring -- a seven stone, alternating round and baguette diamond ring set in platinum. She ensured it was made with a low profile, so it would sit flush against my engagement ring. The ring is absolutely stunning, the process was easy, and Jen is a joy to work with. I love my ring and am so pleased that I am taking my daughter and her fiancé to meet with Jen so she can design their rings as well. I highly recommend Jen Oliak and an Ounce of Salt Jewelry and will definitely be a repeat customer!
