Ian is a brilliant, creative resource. His design taste is exquisite, and his ability to source the most amazing stones is unmatched.

My wife and I are obsessed with his unique, amazing pieces. We have never found earrings, pendants or rings that match what Ian creates.

We have also become huge fans of his home furnishings which capture the same, unique, design aesthetic.

Ian and his team have become extraordinary friends. He is the best!

My wife and I wanted custom wedding rings that best suit who we are. We instantly fell in love with a band of Ian's own design at his store; the band we chose is a unique design - simple, yet bold. We have had them now for a month and are constantly getting complimented on them. We really appreciate how insightful and helpful Ian was in helping us decide on possible customization for each ring; he really has a knack for partnering design to personality while honing in on an elegance that will endure. We are so happy Ian captured our wish for ourselves in his design. What's even better? It was extremely affordable and we actually saved money over other considerations we liked much less.

We went to Ian after our daughter told us of his artistry with jewelry design. This was a very personal project for both my husband and I as we wanted to not only upgrade my wedding ring after 38 years but honor my mother after her passing and incorporate her wedding ring into my new one. We showed Ian ideas we had in mind and he did not disappoint as he weaved his ideas into ours. On my finger now is one beautiful ring with our ideas, my first wedding ring, my mother’s wedding ring and Ian’s amazing talent to bring this all together. Thank you Ian for putting us first, giving us all the time we needed to figure out just what we wanted and now having a ring that is not only beautiful but carries with it the lasting memories of my mother.

A visit to Ian’s Studio is always fun. His creativity knows no boundaries in any area where he is engaged—from fine jewelry to furniture his concepts, production and finish are unsurpassed.

Together with his design expertise, the value of knowledge of materials and access to world-class artisans and suppliers gives us access to Fifth Avenue results at SLO pricing.

I occasionally visit his studio just for inspiration and a glass of wine. You never know where this can lead—a custom ring, a cashmere scarf or a cool new serving dish. Always good!

Let's start with this: There is nothing else like Ian Saude Gallery in San Luis Obispo. Ian is an incredible creative and his taste is impeccable. The term 'Gallery' might throw some people off, because while Ian does sell some art, his studio features his extraordinary jewelry designs, home accessories and furniture. He is my 'go to' source for the highest quality cashmere scarves with the most unique designs. His selection of custom rugs - made from a variety of natural fibers - are simply sublime. Last but not least by any means, Ian is a dedicated and visionary interior designer that will tackle any project large or small with integrity and innovative solutions.

Ian Saude is best jeweler, hands down, in all of the Central Coast. I have been a loyal customer for several years now. Ian's work is equal to the caliber of the finest jewelry making found in New York and Los Angeles. Ian commissioned my engagement ring and it is beyond fabulous! Unlike other jewelers in the area, Ian's work is contemporary art. Ian is also extraordinarily versed in gemology. Not only is Ian an incredible artist, but he also understands the science behind jewelry making. I look forward to holidays and birthdays in the hopes that I will receive a new piece from Ian's shop.

Thank you, Ian for adding your artistic brilliance to our community (and to my family).

Ian has a great eye! He guided me expertly through the design process of my engagement ring. It turned out better than I'd imagined. I love how contemporary, unique, and timeless his designs are. His work is truly custom, down to the smallest details. I can't wait to start working on our wedding bands with him!

Ian Saude is more than a jeweler; he is a creative artist and a trusted business man! When you walk in the front door of his shop you are immediately put at ease by the warm friendly atmosphere and staff. If you are shopping for fine jewelry, exotic high quality scarves or designer items your experience will be fun and relaxed. If you are unable to find that special piece of jewelry Ian will design and make it for you; his creative talents are many and I know from experience you will be pleased!!!
