Paul, who owns LC Rings, by far, out of the great jewelry stores my wife and I have ever been to, was the BEST EXPERIENCE out of all of them to date. We have been to too many jewelry stores to count. Why was the experience a 5 star PLUS? It's not just because of the ONE on ONE exclusive personal service, which was fantastic. Not just the totally RELAXING atmosphere of which there was NO HIGH PRESSURE to buy a single piece of jewelry. Not just Paul's professionalism and GREAT personality. Not just the incredible view of the city from the 11th floor of the Plaza Tower. Not just the fact that he sizes your ring for no additional cost on the spot. Not just the refreshments that he has on hand while you're there. Not just that Paul sends all the insurance paper work you request from him for insuring your ring, to a very credible and very affordable insurance company. Not just that he has genuine and legitimate certificates of being one of the top business men with ethics in Tampa. Not just the fact that he was willing to stay as long as it took for you to be 100% satisfied with everything you're expectating for your purchase;. Not just the fact that his diamonds are certified by Gemologist Institute of America (GIA) where they give your individual diamond a tracking number by a laser that you need a 60x mag to see it! So awesome! Helps if it's ever stolen and proves without a doubt it's real. But the BIGGEST reason, this was BY FAR the BEST jewelry sales experience we had, is the INCREDIBLE QUALITY, SELECTION, AND UNBELIEVABLE KILLER PRICES of his diamond rings that he has on hand. I GUARANTEE that you will spend thousands more somewhere else. We went to one very nice jewelry store locally in Tampa. They had great quality, great service, etc. However, we walked out of L C Rings with a BIGGER diamond, BETTER Quality, Better Color, More Carats, More diamonds on the sides of the ring; then just the band and setting WITHOUT the main diamond in the other store. We got a WHOLE ring, with everything included for the same price as the other jewelry store. Which was just the band and setting, WITHOUT the main center diamond being included in the price. PLUS at L C RINGS, we truly got SO MUCH BETTER QUALITY Diamonds then we could have at this other jewelry store, and others like it. The ring we bought at L C RINGS was a D color Grade, which is the best you can get on the Color scale. Plus an excellent grade on the Clarity! We purchased a Gorgeous 3/4 Carat Marquee diamond ring which popped like no other Marquee ring I've ever seen. This is probably the third review that I've ever written in my life, I normally don't do this. But for this gentleman and his jewelry store I had to. It was that good, and it was that good of a deal. I'll say this with all sincerity, you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least check out his store before you make a purchase, especially a costly one for your most significant other! Thanks again Paul, you were fantastic! Straight Up! Sincerely, Dave & Sherre. read more

I heard about Low Cost Rings through a friend of mine & since I was finally dating a phenomenal girl that I wanted to keep seeing on a permanent basis, I checked what Paul at Low Cost rings could do for me, ring-wise. Awesome results! My girlfriend had hinted at the type of rings she liked & I met with Paul to see if he had anything like that or could order it or something. I had looked in a bunch of local & on-line jewelry stores as well as other stores in Alabama and NYC while I was on business trips. (The "Diamond District" in NYC was a complete joke and crook-fest, by the way. Don't waste your time.) ANYway, Paul didn't have in stock what Kelly (my g/f) had hinted at, but he stepped up and did one even better. Paul basically recreated Kelly's ideal ring from scratch, creating a white gold ring with a central cushion-cut stone flanked by 2 pear-shaped diamonds. He kept me in the loop with all the selection decisions that had to be made. In the end, he sourced the main diamond and one of the pear diamonds from a jeweler in New York, and the other pear diamond from a different jeweler in Chicago. That way I got equally balanced flanking diamonds on the sides of a perfectly priced/sized/graded main diamond. The mount was non-standard, so Paul had his guy create a custom ring/mount from scratch & Paul had it all put together in a way that dropped Kelly's jaw when I gave it to her. Phenomenal job, from first conversation to the final product! As for the price, I saved a ton with Paul. Along with the ring came all the certifications/appraisals for each of the stones, allowing me to price them online against comparable stones in jewelry stores. I compared prices to make sure I got as good a deal as I thought & it was actually better than I'd thought...plus I dealt with someone who didn't act like a used car salesman the whole time! I definitely I have no regrets & Kelly is over the moon about her ring. Oh, it also came with a nice presentation box. I'm happy with the whole experience. Good luck! read more

I wish I could remember how I stumbled across Paul and LC Rings, but while searching online I did. My fiancé and I had looked at rings for months and we both wanted something that resembled us. Something different, quality and we didn't want to compromise. We were very particular and had found an absolutely gorgeous setting locally, but the price was definitely retail. We both knew there had to be a reputable and honest jeweler out there that would pass on some savings. Low and behold after searching the well known online jewelers, we found Paul. We were apprehensive about the entire process being online and buying sight unseen (not in person). To say Paul over delivered is a HUGE understatement! We in no way, shape, or form compromised quality and we got much "more ring" than we thought we could for less than half retail prices! On top of that, my ring was a custom piece!! Paul was very, very patient and communicated clearly during the entire process!! Purchasing a diamond for thousands of dollars is a huge investment and we were skeptical. I'm here to EASE your worries!!! Paul and LC Rings is a hidden gem!! Thank you Paul for treating us so well! Your patience, suggestions, clear communication and over delivering has WON US OVER!! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my ring (I love my soon to be hubby more though :) it turned out GORGEOUS and I get compliments on it all the time! I can't stop staring at it! Shane and I are thrilled with the custom design and you truly made this special for both of us!! You have won us over as lifetime clients and we will definitely be back soon and will happily refer you! I never thought I'd be a Tacori girl, but here I am! Melissa read more

I'm not much of a review guy but I made a promise to my wife that after 25 years she would get a real engagement ring because she really wanted the house before the ring. So after 25 years, which is a rare occurrence nowadays, we decided to get her a new engagement ring/wedding band and a new wedding ring for me. I have purchased numerous amounts of jewelry over those 25 years for my wife and myself, and I have always wondered if I got what I paid for. I've been put under high pressure sales and I've been misled. After much research, I realized that I over paid thousands more for my jewelry and this is why this review has come into play. After some research, we found Paul. We read his reviews and decided to give him a shot. Upon meeting him, he made us feel so comfortable like we were friends. When we started discussing the rings, there was no pressure whatsoever. It was such a learning experience. It was amazing. He had the patience and time to explain each and every ring that we looked at, color, cut, clarity and brilliance. After a lengthy time of my wife trying on a million rings, we finally made a decision and purchased our rings at an incredible deal.... he will definitely be our go-to family Jeweler in the future. Thank you so much Paul for what you do!!! read more

I had no idea where to begin when I started shopping for my girl's ring. I went to a couple of places in the mall, but wasn't really feeling it. I knew she was interested in TACORI rings, and after a quick Google search, I decided to go and check out LC Rings. They have a HUGE selection of rings, and the staff was very friendly, they even offered me a beer! I felt really comfortable dealing with Paul, as he was very knowledgeable, not only with the Tacori settings, but with the center diamond as well. I did a bit of research, but until I saw them with my own eyes, I had no idea how good and bad a diamond can look. Paul gave me a quick rundown on the most important quality's and the best "Bang for you Buck" diamond options. I really felt like I was involved and not just buying something for the sake of buying something! I never felt like I was being ''Sold", and I appreciated it very much! Thank you Paul, and thank you LC Rings for making the experience easy and enjoyable! read more

After 35 years of marriage, my bride finally agreed to an upgrade of her ring. We had to get re-educated as this diamond ring business is confusing. Did a lot of research and comparison. Read good things about LC and ended up in front of Paul. He was informative, patient, professional and quite a gentleman. Not at all pushy as you might find at the big stores. He patiently walked us through the many choices pointing out the details for our consideration. Found a fantastic halo ring that my wife and friends still gawk at. So Happy! And the value was very good... so much so the cautious guy in me had a separate appraisal done. It was bang on the value provided in the 3rd party report Paul provided. The ring was also GIA certified which is a huge plus in validating the ring characteristics. If you don't give LC a hard look, you're missing out. The experience and value are so good I won't go anywhere else for diamond jewelry. read more

WOW! Don't let the name fool you. Paul and his operation is VERY professional and personal. When I first went to Paul looking for an engagement ring, he showed me many (about 100) beautiful rings and settings. I advised Paul that I may want to remount a 100+ year old family heirloom diamond(1ct) into one of his settings. Without trying to change my mind or up sell me, Paul, myself and my fiance chose the perfect setting befitting such a treasured part of our family. The ring was completed in two days and I/we could not be happier! Paul was able to make another family heirloom that will be in our family for generations. You can not beat the professionalism, cost or personalization that Paul provides. He is the best kept secret in town! read more

Paul was amazing hands down. I'm a very cautious buyer and spent more than 3 months looking for the perfect ring. Paul was the first person I went to see. I thought I did my online education but Paul taught me so much more with regards to finding the perfect diamond/ring. Before I even went further, he asked me to compare around. I went to private jewelers both locally in the Tampa area as well as others in LA and NYC (as well as online retailers). I ended up coming back to Paul and got the best value for my money. Not only did she love the ring, but her family members continue to talk about it! Thanks so much for the wonderful and hassle free experience Paul!! read more

My husband and I were ring shopping for a while and he received information for Paul Yost from a friend. The ring was absolutely stunning. The quality was great and Paul was excellent to work with. He made my bridal experience great (he cleaned and polish the rings for our wedding). So when it came time to buy our bands, we went directly to LC rings. There is a diverse selection of diamonds and rings of different prices. Before you go anywhere else please check out Paul at LC Rings. You will receive spectacular service, a spectacular produce, and a lifetime of happiness because you chose to go with Paul. Before we buy any jewelry product we call paul. read more

I am from Houston, but I I travel for work and I am working at Tampa Airport. I found LC Rings online and wanted to visit the location while my fiancé is in town as my previous engagement ring purchase ended up being fake and I wanted to replace it. Paul took us in after his last appointment on a Saturday on a moments notice. The customer service was exceptional and he had the perfect ring at a great value. I would highly recommend visiting Paul if you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly and honest person to help you with this important purchase. Thank you Paul for working us in. Jennifer loves the ring! read more

What an amazing establishment. I was able to get the ring of my wife-to be's dreams in literally less than an hour with the help the owner, Paul. Paul may be one of the most honest, authentic and knowledgeable jewelers in all of Florida. He doesn't try to push anything on you and gives you cold hard FACTS about all the jewelry he sells. Paul and his wife were both so extremely pleasant and have a beautiful office that allowed for our appointment to be efficient and intimate. Would highly recommend LC rings to anyone with any budget, we will be retuning here for our wedding bands. read more

More satisfied customers! Paul's customer service by appointment rendered uninterrupted attention in a relaxed but professional office with a spectacular view. He was knowledgeable and explained things well. There were no gimmicks or high-pressure approaches, and our custom made ring was promptly ready the next day. We are confident he is less expensive than the mall jewelers. We would go to him again. Also liked the high magnification video clip he sent us of the final product to let us know it was ready for pickup. read more

What an amazing experience my husband and I had for our wedding bands and engagement ring! Our beautiful rings and custom experience we got from Paul and his office was nothing short than amazing. He listened to what we both wanted and showed us gorgeous rings that were in our price range. It was a much more individualized experience than going to a commercialized diamond store where all they care about is your money. We now come to Paul for all our jewelry needs since we truly trust in him and his business. read more

The selection of rings and pricing is great! My husband and I got both our wedding bands and my engagement ring here and the experience is fantastic! We loved the one on one experience with Paul and the vast selection of rings at great prices. My husband lost his band a few months after we got married and Paul helped me look up the same ring we bought before and let me come pick it up the next day! Paul is super responsive and helpful. We recommend him to all of our friends. read more

Paul at LC Rings in Tampa is a business I will recommend to all my family and friends. He made the experience of buying an engagement ring personal, pleasurable, and professional. You will love the service, his expertise, price, great quality, and customer service. It was a pleasure to work with him, he helped me find the perfect diamond for my girlfriend's engagement ring. The entire experience was fantastic! From Orlando & Sarah we both thank you Paul for everything!!! read more

Had a perfect experience purchasing an engagement ring from LC Rings. Paul Yost did a great job figuring out what I wanted and created a custom ring that worked within my budget. I knew very little going into this process and by the end of it I felt like I could talk about some of the finer details about diamonds. I was given plenty of time to go home and do my own research which added to the no-bs gut feeling I had the entire time. I would HIGHLY recommend. read more

Paul was beyond helpful when my boyfriend and I went to look at engagement rings! He has a beautiful collection at really great prices and helped us get a good deal on a ring that my boyfriend ended up buying along with a band for himself! The ring was so intricate and I fell in love. Paul seemed to truly care that we were both satisfied and left with what we loved at a reasonable price! Very professional and his office was lovely! Would highly recommend. read more

Paul Yost is a class act! He was very patient while we chose a ring (great selection to choose from) and gave personalized service. We actually ended up picking one he suggested that I wouldn't have considered otherwise. I love it and receive compliments all the time! My ring has a lot of tiny accent stones and one fell out after about 6 months. I called and it was fixed the same day! I would definitely recommend to anyone and would go back to LC Rings! read more

Paul certainly has another happy couple to add to his resume! He truly brought to life exactly what we wanted in an engagement ring. He had patience with my fiancé in choosing the different stones and settings until it was perfect. I definitely recommend Low Cost Rings to all of my friends and family. I think Paul's knowledge and professionalism is definitely catching on... the girls at the gym and I all realized our fiancés got our rings from him! :) read more
