Engagement Ring
Christine H.

Harry and his family were such a pleasure to work with. They took such good care of my engagement ring and made it look brand new. I was utterly amazed with how beautiful my ring looked when I got it back from them it was like a new ring!! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for fine jewelry or even repairs. Thank you for taking good care of me!!

My engagement ring!

See all

I've been going to this jeweler for years and I am never disappointed. It's nice to have a local shop that I can trust.

Liberty Diamonds is the best jeweler!…read more I did tons of research before choosing a new jeweler, and Liberty Diamonds exceeded my high expectations because of their: --Excellent customer service --High-end products --Many years of experience --Reasonable prices --Trustworthiness I was in need of a new jeweler because my original jeweler went out of business, and then the jeweler I found to replace him didn't do as good of a job and, lately, was referring everything to junior jewelers who didn't give me the best service. So I went on Yelp and found Liberty Diamonds based on all of their 5 star great reviews, and I am so happy that Yelp steered me in the right direction! Liberty Diamonds is now my go-to jeweler, and I've actually done multiple things with them, which have all turned out perfect, including: --Ring repair: My grandma's antique platinum and diamond ring broke, and Liberty Diamonds fixed it for me and resized it so it fit my hand better. Amazing! --Jewelry design: I wanted a pair of multi-strand pearl and white gold earrings, glammed up from an older version I used to wear when I was in college, and Troy helped me design exactly what I wanted! The finished product was perfect and of the utmost quality! --Diamond ring polishing and maintenance: It had been a while since I had my rings professionally cleaned (other than a quick dip in the ultrasonic), so I dropped them off for a few days and got them back looking polished and shiny, like they were brand new instead of many years old! I really liked how Troy showed me my rings under a magnifying lens and then gave me options for repairs I could do. I chose to preventatively strengthen a prong, and everything turned out looking incredible! --Custom necklaces: Now I am designing coordinating necklaces for my daughters and myself with the help of Liberty Diamonds and it's a great process and I have tons of options at reasonable price points Liberty Diamonds is located in an office center near SNA Airport (off the 405fwy and MacArthur) and there's plenty of easy/free parking! I am soooooo happy with Liberty Diamonds and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a trustworthy, high-end, bespoke jeweler with outstanding customer service!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Liberty Diamonds for all of our wedding jewelry…read moreneeds, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! From the very start, my husband worked closely with Troy and the team to design a truly beautiful custom engagement ring. It turned out more perfect than I could have ever imagined. When it came time for our wedding bands, we purchased two wedding bands for me, and Troy helped us design a gorgeous, unique custom wedding band for my husband. The level of personalized care we received made a potentially stressful process fun and exciting. We couldn't be happier with our rings, and we will absolutely be going back to Liberty Diamonds for all of our future jewelry purchases!

Huge thank you to South Coast Jeweler for saving my finger today!…read more My trinity ring was completely stuck and causing severe swelling, and they were able to cut it off safely, and carefully so that I can at least get it repaired. The whole process took like 1 minute, so I appreciate how quickly it took. Lol They were very welcoming and friendly the moment I walked into the store.

My fiancé began his ring search knowing almost nothing about diamonds but was willing to explore…read moreand learn. He visited several jewelers across OC, from large retailers to family owned stores and even some that were recommended by other friends/family but none compared to the genuine care and honest customer service he received from Kathy and Jenny here! I came with my fiancé on his first visit here to get sized and choose some shapes that I preferred. Kathy patiently walked us through sizing and explored different shapes with zero pressure and so much patience. We loved how relatable she was and how natural and genuine our convos went! When he returned on his own, Jenny took her time to educate him fully and showcased her expertise (being in the business for 30+ years) and made sure he truly understood every detail, not just the 4 C's, but things other stores never even mentioned so he could feel confident making such an important decision. They actually encouraged him to even take his time and check out other places to make sure he was confident in his decision. This kind of customer care made all the difference! I didn't see the ring until the proposal, and it was absolutely perfect! But what makes it even more meaningful is knowing how much thought, care, and intention went into choosing it and how much of that came from the guidance he received there. I really can't thank both Jenny and Kathy enough for making his experience so smooth and seamless! If you're starting your ring journey and feel overwhelmed, go to South Coast Jewelers. They don't just sell you a ring, they make you feel confident, excited, and taken care of which makes this kind of experience so much more priceless.

I want to share my awful experience I had with Time Palace Jeweler. I had to call the police for…read morecivil standby to retrieve a valuable Cartier watch that was handed down to me. I went to Time Palace after reading good reviews and one where a Cartier watch was revived. My watch was given to me by my father and had a lot of value for me. I went for a battery replacement. Al looked at the watch and opened the casing. He found that the battery was corroded and said a new battery would not fix the watch. He said he would have to clean the corrosion and determine the extent of the damage. I asked him how much it would cost. He said $800 to clean the watch and then there would likely be additional charges if the quartz mechanism needed further parts. He said he was a 'master watchmaker' and he could repair it for less than Cartier who would probably need parts from abroad and it would take weeks for them to fix and could cost up to $2500. As he seemed like he was experienced and I badly wanted the watch working, I agreed to the price and the work. Later that day, I wanted to learn more about the corrosive damage caused by the battery. To my surprise, an AI research revealed that if the Cartier quartz movement is compromised by a battery leakage, the quartz mechanism is replaced as the time and cost involved to clean the watch is not cost effiicent. Furthermore, if the circuit board is compromised, there is no need to clean the watch, a new mechanism is needed. When i put into Google gemini that Mr AL was charging me $800 just to clean the watch.. I was strongly recommended to halt all work and retrieve my watch from AL. He would ultimately be charging me 4-5x the cost to repair the watch with Cartier ... Seeing this, I contacted Al that evening and he told me he spent 5 hours cleaning the watch and that I would need a new circuit board that would cost me $450 because he had ordered it for me, despite no agreement for this on my part. I told him I would be picking up the watch the next day and to halt all work. He let me know that I could pick it up disassembled and that I had to pay CASH. At this point, I was not feeling confident of the intergrity of the service he was providing and I did not wish to pay cash, but rather have the consumer protection of a credit card. Regardless, my cartier was very valuable and i had to get it back from him. I also contacted Cartier who offered to evaluate the damage of my watch. When I went to retrieve my watch, I let Al know I would not pay him for the circuit board he ordered, which I did not agree to. But I would however, pay him the $800 through my credit card. He refused, to accept my credit card payment. I let him know he can't keep my watch if I am offering him payment as he told me earlier I could pay with credit card but with his 5% surcharge. He refused and told me to get out of his store harshly. He said I was trying to take advantage of him ... Thus I walked out, and called the police for a civil standby. Al had my very expensive Cartier watch and was refusing to give it back to me, despite my willingness to pay by credit card. The police did come tho the store, and a conversation ensued. An agreement was then reached where I would use my Debit card to pay the $800. I thought about refusing to pay by cash or debit and take him to court. But the watch AL was holding was very valuable. Thus, I ended up agreeing to an $800 charge to my debit card and Al tacked on his 5% surcharge which is actually illegal. I was able to take the watch to Cartier immediately after I left the store. They said it is not uncommon for a leaking battery to damage a cartier quartz mechanism, but that it could be overahauled for $450, just as Google Gemini said. Al, the master watchmaker, knew all along what Cartier would do perhaps, and he decided to tell me he could do the work for less, charge me an unecessary $800 cleaning for 'rust damage' and then order me a circuit board that would cost me $450, not including the labor. Cartier said that once the battery damages the quartz mechanism, it is too costly and inefficient to clean the watch to repair it. Yet, AL the master watchmaker decided to take the expensive and inefficient route with my Cartier watch. PLease be safe out there. addendum: Response to Al, I thought you had pride in your work and service at first. I was proven wrong. You lost me whenI realized i could not trust your pricing and your assessment. I got my second opinion from Cartier which supported this conclusion. It is what it is. All your talk of being a 'master watchmaker' is useless when you cannot be trusted by decent, hardworking, people.
