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.

Ian has a great eye! He guided me expertly through the design process of my engagement ring. It turned out better than Id imagined. I love how contemporary, unique, and timeless his designs are. His work is truly custom, down to the smallest details. I cant wait to start working on our wedding bands with him!

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!Jim

Ive been an industry Interior Design sales rep for 30 years. Ian is one designer/manufacturer that has made a forever impressive! impression on me. His world travels and experiences are obvious in his sophisticated work. Top notch talent... whether its in his jewelry, rug, furniture, lighting or interior designs.Im also grateful to call him my friend.

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!

After being married forty years I had spent a total of $11 on jewelry for my wife. After meeting Ian that all went to Hell. She now has an assortment of jewelry that is beyond attractive and cost just a little more than the previous $11.Ian can be a little careless as he once let me take a really fancy colored stone out in the sunlight for better light and I later learned it was a $100,000 something. I am not a $100,000 guy.His shop is a special place for not just very custom but affordable jewelry but a great place to buy gifts for friends and relatives. He has a line of very attractive kitchen stainless steel items that are literally bullet proof. Recipients always see them as very special, especially if they live in a neighborhood where gunfire is common, like Chicago. Great stainless flatware you cannot hurt and a line of cashmere.scarves etc., perfect for when you need something classy, affordable and fast.Fun place to visit and spend money you dont have. When you walk in simply start the conversation with, I want some wine, and you will be off and running.Les Phillips

Lets 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 is a master in his craft. Insightful, creative, an a pleasure to work with. He can envision art and jewelry that others cannot. It is always a pleasure to work with him and his staff. FYI. His mother is also a delight when you have the pleasure to spend time in her presence!

I love Ian Saude and his studio! It is my go to stop when looking for a fine gift. They have a unique selection of lovely things. Its a joy to just walk into the studio and see all of the beautiful things they have for sale. Service is friendly and professional.

I have worked with Ian Saude on multiple projects. First Ian went above and beyond on the piece of custom made jewelry I needed made. That interaction started a long term working relationship. Ian and I have worked on multiple interior design project together along the Central coast. Ians attention to detail and professionalism are top notch.

My wife and I wanted custom wedding rings that best suit who we are. We instantly fell in love with a band of Ians 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. Whats even better? It was extremely affordable and we actually saved money over other considerations we liked much less.

I have worked with Ian on many of my projects and have been thrilled with the results -- everything from fabulous custom area rugs, gorgeous artwork, beautiful custom wood floors and other furnishings. He is a pleasure to work with in every way.

Ian Saude is best jeweler, hands down, in all of the Central Coast. I have been a loyal customer for several years now. Ians 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, Ians 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 Ians shop.Thank you, Ian for adding your artistic brilliance to our community (and to my family).

Fantastic options for men and my go-to gift source for the special women in my life. As a man in SLO finding interesting pieces of jewelry can be a challenge. Im not the biggest watch fan, and Ive found at Ian Saude a great selection of necklaces, bracelets, and cuff links to dress up my wardrobe.They are also a great place for luxurious gifts for women. Their cashmere scarves and womens necklaces are really well received.The proprietor is an artists at heart and the staff takes the time to help me find quality pieces for me and the ones I love.

IAN SAUDE is a wonderful treasure in San Luis Obispo. You can find fantastic pieces that you wont find anywhere else in the area. More like items you would find in N.Y. or overseas. He has exquisite taste showing objects that make great gifts. And, best of all, the service is fantastic! Just looking at the beautiful items is worth a visit!

I love Ian Saude! The jewelry and housewares are more than decorations, they are a concept. The well chosen, well designed pieces reflect a wave of simplicity that is extremely elegant.

Thank you IAN SAUDE! I was lucky enough to discover Ian Saudes work in SLO several years ago and recently had the pleasure of working with Ian in picking out an engagement ring. What I thought was going to be a daunting process turned out to be a totally enjoyable yet very professional experience. His pieces have an elegance and sophistication yet are very distinctive and profound. The quality, personality and unique perspective of the jewelry and home decor items found at IAN SAUDE is absolutely unmatched in the area. They also carry items for every budget.
