Searching for an engagement ring can be overwhelming, but I had a great experience with Kevin. I was looking for an engagement ring and had an idea in mind. I wanted to get the best ring for my girlfriend and Kevin was a great help. I went to 4 other places to search for the perfect ring and none of them came close. Kevin was very friendly from the beginning and he never was pushy, trying to sell me a ring like some of the other places I went to. He was very kind and helpful bringing my idea of the perfect ring to life. Every single detail that I wanted for the ring, Kevin was able to do. I was quoted by another place I went to before Kevin, that it would take 10 weeks to have to ring ready and a $500 deposit just to get a 3D rendering of what I had in mind. Before doing so, I wanted to look for more options, and that's when I met Kevin. Within 30 minutes we pretty much had my ring in mind of how it would look. However, I told Kevin that I needed to look around more just to be sure before making a final decision. He was very understanding. I went to two other stores after and immediately went back. Within the hour Kevin showed me a 3D render that he worked on while I was gone of how my ring would look. That spoke volumes to me and is a testament to his customer service and craftsmanship. I put my down payment that day and received the ring the next week. I was stunned when I saw the final product because he brought my idea to life. His craftsmanship was by far the best and customer service is unmatched. I highly recommend this place and I will be doing more business with him in the future!

Custom engagement ring
Corinna M.

Kevin and Liz were a joy to work with. We appreciated their honesty and their advice on different cuts of stones, and their enthusiasm for our idea of a custom engagement ring. Kevin was with us at every step of the process and was very communicative and prompt. We look forward to future jewelry purchases and projects with him. 10/10 small business in the maze that is the dtla jewelry district.

8mm Moissanite on 1.8mm plain rose gold band, with white gold prongs, size 5 finger
Jen G.

Kevin and Liz can help you create your dream ring! My now fiancé and I came to look at engagement rings and found that they have a huge range of styles, with lots of rose gold and dainty options which I was looking for. Liz is also super responsive over text and ordered a moissanite overnight for me so I could compare it with diamonds when I came in for my visit. I love that they're really laid back and let me try on dozens of rings and never made me feel bad! It's just overall a great time and takes the pressure off of picking out a ring. I decided on a 8mm (2 carat equivalent) Moissanite on plain 1.8mm rose gold band with white gold prongs. It's amazingly beautiful and have already went back to pick out our wedding rings!

My fiancé got this incredible ring custom made by kevin. we were very vague and not exactly sure what we wanted, but he told us that he had the vision so we gave him our full trust and the ring came out even better than we could have imagined. Kevin & Liz are so helpful, kind and knowledgeable. we are currently waiting on her wedding band now (which we also whole-heartedly trusted their judgement on again) and we can't wait to see the end product. We will get all of our jewelry here from now on because the work was absolutely incredible.

18kt white gold Asscher cut engagement ring, wedding band, and Men's Asscher cut eternity band.

My wife and I got our wedding rings custom made by Kevin and we both could not be happier! Kevin and Liz were a pleasure to work with in helping us selecting the perfect Asscher cut Diamond for my Wife's engagement ring and designing and her 18kt white gold wedding and engagement rings. They also helped me and my Wife Elise with designing and crafting my beautiful Asscher cut 18k white gold eternity wedding band. Their new store location is in a great spot on 637 Hill St. I highly recommend Kevin's Gems for all of your fine jewelry and custom design needs. Kevin and Liz are very friendly and knowledgeable about their craft and are experts that I trust. My Wife and I could not be happier with both of our rings! They did an amazing job with the design and execution of all three of our rings!!!

Ryan J.

Kevin was so helpful. He designed our very unique ring based on my crude paper drawing and some Pinterest pictures. He even changed the designed for me when I changed my mind for free! Very kind and helped me save since I'm tight on my budget. My fiancé was so pleased with the ring. 10/10 would recommend!

Great service! Great people! Kevin and Liz are amazing! Helpful, kind, courteous, patient, friendly. My husband and I have continued to be happy with our purchases and will continue coming back for our jewelry needs.

Kevin, Liz, my hot wife, and me.

There are several booths in this location. My wife and I were looking for engagement/wedding rings and actually came here to look at another booth but they had mostly gaudy pieces (which seem to be in fashion now). We left them and stuff in Kevin's display immediately caught both our eyes. Sure, he has some gaudy pieces (gotta give the people what they want ;-) but mostly he has fantastic pieces. Which he designs. Want something made that you have had in your head? He can do that. Don't quite like a stone that he is showing you? It's the jewelry district: one call and he can get what you want. Great prices and fantastic customer service. We don't even need another jeweler, Kevin and Liz take care of it all. Heck, they've practically become like family.

My breath is still taken away after almost 4yrs!!! Just wanted to let you know I appreciate you and your sister for a gorgeous ring and flawless diamonds. Thank you Kevin!!!

Eli knew exactly what I meant when I asked for a beautifully symmetric diamonds and not crushed ice. We vibed right away. He has great taste and knows what a beautiful diamond looks like from an ugly one. Because let me tell you, there are a lot of ugly diamonds out there and there are many brokers who will try to convince you that they're pretty! I also really appreciated that he didn't ask what my budget was like so many other places. He focused on finding me not one, but two perfectly matched pairs of diamonds for studs. All of the other places wouldn't show me more than one pair. And you know what? I took both pairs because they were both so perfect I couldn't let them go! Other places told me it was impossible to find 2 old mine cushion cut matching diamonds but Eli did it. And he did it in like 2 days! He called me and kept me updated. When he showed me the diamonds he was super patient as I studied each one. There was never, at any point any sales pressure. He let me think over which pair I wanted without threatening that they'd be gone the next day (unlike Capri). I highly recommend him and wish I had found him before I got engaged!

We had been shopping around and comparing several jewelers, and he was by far the most straightforward and informative. Meryvn is also extremely charismatic and easy to work with -- he made what can feel like an overwhelming process actually enjoyable. He took the time to explain everything about the gold quality, weight, and pricing so we felt confident in what we were buying. No pressure, no gimmicks -- just real information and fair numbers. We ended up finding our dream solid 14k gold wedding bands, and he gave us a great deal compared to other quotes we received in the area. The quality and craftsmanship are beautiful, and we walked away feeling really good about our purchase. If you're looking for solid gold bands and want someone who is transparent, knowledgeable, and fair, definitely ask for Meryvn. Highly recommend!

I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and I'm so grateful for his professionalism, care, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Mervyn to anyone looking for a jeweler they can genuinely trust.

My husband had purchased my beautiful engagement ring in 2023, the service then was amazing, and…read morethe service again continues to be phenomenal. My engagement ring was a relatively thin platinum band, and they had warned us that the band would be malleable due to the material. However, I didn't realize how malleable it could get until after I began wearing it. I was so set on choosing platinum because I figured it would be the easiest and most low maintenance material. The band kept losing its shape any time I wore it. It began driving me insane because I needed to come in and get it fixed almost every 4-8 months (depending on how frequently I was wearing it). I started to get anxiety everytime I wore my engagement ring because I was so afraid of it losing shape. I began to wear it less and less and stuck to my wedding band (which is white gold--lesson learned) only. I was also too afraid to go to any other jeweler near where I lived to get the ring fixed because I truly only trusted Bridal Ring's team. Finally, I was done feeling afraid and decided to switch the band entirely. I explained to Zoe, an associate at Bridal Ring & explained the situation. We discussed the different options and ultimately we determined I wanted to switch my band to the lowest maintenance metal I could without losing the integrity and design I initially had. Zoe and the team were so kind. They came up with an idea to switch the band to a yellow gold band & solder my platinum prongs with my diamond onto it. It took a week for us to pick it up. & I am so glad I trusted Zoe and the team to execute the vision because I am genuinely over the moon about my ring. It's just as beautiful as when I first got it & now I'm not afraid to wear it! Thank you so much Zoe and Bridal Ring Co for listening to my desires and concerns. I appreciate you guys so much. I truly recommend them and their team.

We were told a scratch test could be done, and when Sarah came out, she said "we only do scratch tests on items if you want to sell it." We obviously we are there to sell it, as I told the nice receptionist woman. Sarah touched it once and looked at it for two seconds, and then put it down and said, "it's fake. sorry." And walked away. No explanation or anything as to why. I get it if someone is having a bad day, but don't take it out on new customers. 10/12/26 Took in a piece if gold jewelry I found on the side of the road, and I wanted to see if it was real or not. I did some at home tests to see if the piece was real, and it was showing it was. The receptionist woman was super sweet, but the woman who took one look at the piece and said "it's fake." was so rude and condescending. Sure, the edges of the jewlery piece was oxidizing, but that doesn't mean the actual chain is fake. She was looking at me like I had no idea what I was talking about. Didn't even do any tests to double check. Rude, definitely not going back.

Love Sam's! Fast, friendly, professional, incredibly skilled…read more I brought in a vintage cluster ring from my grandmother that needed pretty significant resizing from an 8.5 down to a 5, and he did it beautifully without sacrificing any stones. When I went to pick it up, I brought in a watch for servicing and some more jewelry for Cleaning. All of which is completely reasonably priced. I'm really looking forward to having them make a custom piece for me with some loose stones I have. The entire staff is just such a pleasure. I get the impression that regardless of what you bring in, or what you need done- They treat it and you with the same care and respect as they would the Hope diamond. So happy to find a jeweler I can trust!

After dropping my simple gold wedding band off with the promise of a 1 hr turnaround at $125 to have it sized down (he tried to charge $150), I came back 90 minutes later and the ring had clearly not been touched yet. I shared that I'd spent the last 90 minutes researching online and at other shops in the jewelry market and had learned that this service should cost no more than $50. Some places charge as low as $20. I asked Sam politely what the reason was for the steep price difference. He talked about how much time and care went into sizing the ring, and how he used only the best materials so that the cut would be completely invisible. To demonstrate, he began showing me the process, which reinforced my suspicion that when I walked back into the store, he had not yet begun work on my ring. 10 minutes later Sam was done - the work was good, but the seam was indeed visible. After a conversation the price came down to $100. I'm happy, the work is no better or worse than any I have had done before. But be warned that he clearly upcharges for his charm (he's very sweet and complimentary) and generosity (he did a sonic clean on my engagement ring for free). If you want a deal this is not the place. But it's fine otherwise! Not gonna get scalped but not the most price sensitive option if you're in the jewelry district.
