    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Kevin & Liz, I'm truly thankful for you two!! You've made my absolute dream come true with my ring, I'm so in love with my Custom ring. Every detail I am so in love with it! Thank you guys!!! And whomever will come across this review please don't hesitate to get your ring custom from Kevin's Gems! The best Quality!

    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!

I shopped around extensively, from South OC to Redlands, and even scoured the Jewelry district in LA. From start to finish, no one was as inviting, educational, and patient with me as a buyer. Eli showed me multiple options for center stones, partnered with me to create a custom design that we both loved, and gave me an extremely fair price on a premium product. We maintained excellent communication throughout the process, and he worked double time to deliver his product not just on time, but ahead of schedule. He is an authentic man with an honest practice in an industry that is rife with people trying to rush you to make a decision. If you trust him with your service, I know he will come through. Thank you for being such a significant part of my engagement story. I know my fiancé is excited to meet you. -Doc

Please keep in mind, at the time of the quote, gold was valued at $5100 per ounce and when I visited, it dropped to $4600 per ounce. I came in, and was told it would be $400-$450 because my total carat weight was in actuality 1.58. I let them know about the estimate I received, to which she angrily said, this is why I hate it when they do online quotes, because people don't know what sizes they have. And then she also got upset because she doesn't know who gave me the quote because of the way Yelp profiles are set up. My mistake for the sizing, but it's not even a full 1/10th of a carat weight. An extra $100 for 0.08. I would understand an increase relative to the weight, had it been 2 total carat weight, that's completely reasonable at half a carat per $100. She said it costs $200 to source the settings, and it doesn't include the labor to polish and clean the item. She started stuttering when she was trying to justify the pricing, so I knew she was lying. A quick google search tells you differently, and they have access to warehouse pricing, so let's be real, she chose to arbitrarily charge more because she felt like it. I left and went with another local jeweler, where they gave me the exact same setting for $300. Don't take what they tell you at face value, do your own research, and make sure you don't get swindled by this business trying to take advantage because they think you don't know any better.
