    Outside ambience!
    stephanie d.

    Such a cute place to find gifts! I bought a brass keychain. Wanted to shop longer but husband said we had to go. But i saw so many earrings and necklaces I would have liked to get or give. This shop also makes me want to live in a cute trailer! You must check it out!

    I absolutely love May Martin! I have been going here for about 4 years now. Paulina is one of my favorite employees there, and Lily, the owner, is so sweet and kind. Their pieces have lasted forever for me and if anything breaks they are super considerate and repair it! I just got a new necklace that I'm obsessed with and love their bracelets and rings!

    Came in to return a gift that was given to me. The woman with blonde hair was rude and super condescending. I didn't have the receipt and didn't want to have to ask my friend for it. The woman said it was damaged ( it was just a smudge from my finger on the white package) and they don't carry this anymore ( implying that's it's old) and saying they only have a 7 day return policy which I wouldn't know because I didn't have the receipt and it was a gift I received 2days ago. I understand having policies but what happened to being polite and kind about it. I have never shopped here before and looks like I will never return.

    My favorite pieces of jewelry are from here--- I'm always getting compliments on them because they are beautiful, unique, and minimalistic. If I could I'd have even more pieces from here--every time I'm in SoCal i make sure to stop by because I love the shop and everyone there is so nice. Thank you!

    UPDATE , I'm attaching a photograph of a pair of earrings I bought here that have turned bronze less than a month. I never thought I'd have that issue, also a reason I have bought from May Martin (the real gold aspect). So disappointing. My jewelry from here has always been beautiful. I drove 4 hours to come to this store for that very reason. However, there is an issue with some costumer service and question of cost. I trusted my cost was calculated accurately, but was confused when the prices did not match my receipt. I gave my feedback and they kept asking that I call rather than explaining to me over the feedback thread. I found it rather odd that they didn't want to explain it in writing. The woman who helped me (who I believe is the designers mother) also was very clearly impatient and asked me to pay before I was done shopping, and then wrote in my signature for the payment. This seems to me a very bad practice that could put the company at a liability. I still love my jewelry, but I will restrict my purchases to online, if ever, in the future.

    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.

    My boyfriend initially went in on his own to look for engagement rings, and unfortunately, the…read moreexperience was not welcoming at all. He felt judged right away, as if they didn't really want him as a customer. He was genuinely interested in finding a ring and doing business with a local jeweler, but it felt like he was underestimated from the start, which was disappointing. What made it more upsetting was that this is an Asian-owned establishment, yet the environment felt very judgmental and uninviting. During that first visit, they offered to email him the paperwork with ring details and sizing information--but we never received anything. At that point, we were still actively shopping around. When I later went back with him, the staff seemed slightly friendlier once I was there (I'm Asian), but the overall vibe was still the same--very cold and not particularly interested in helping us or earning our business. Again, we asked for follow-up emails, including the GIA paperwork and details we discussed in person, and once again, nothing was ever sent. In the end, we decided to skip this jeweler altogether and take our business elsewhere. Honestly, I'm glad we did. A big purchase like an engagement ring should feel exciting and welcoming, and unfortunately, that just wasn't the experience here

However, reaching out to Manny eased all those nerves. He explained the process patiently and reassured me that everything would be fine. He was incredibly understanding and took the time to work with me gently. I was unsure about which type of diamond to upgrade to, but Manny showed me multiple options. Since I couldn't see them in person, I had to trust his judgment, and he truly understood what I was looking for. I just received the rings today, and they are absolutely stunning--much better than I had hoped. If you're considering making a change, I highly recommend reaching out to Manny. He was absolutely wonderful and made the experience so much easier. I have no regrets about my decision and will definitely choose him and the company again. Jackie Upper Marlboro, Md

Cristina had already been in touch with my fiancé beforehand, so when we arrived she had curated a selection of diamonds, ring styles, and settings she knew I might love. She walked us through everything with so much care, from explaining GIA certification and clarity to showing us real diamonds under the light so we could truly see their brilliance. Unlike other places we visited, Liberty Diamonds actually let us compare real and lab diamonds side by side, which made such a difference. Cristina also guided us through the custom design process, explaining setting heights, diamond shapes, and every detail that would make the ring uniquely mine. They even sent my fiancé a 3D rendering of the design so he could visualize exactly what the final piece would look like. I left our appointment feeling completely confident that we were in the best hands! Fast-forward to the proposal and I was speechless. My ring is everything I dreamed of and more. The sparkle, the cut, the craftsmanship... it's truly stunning! Cristina and Troy did an exceptional job bringing my dream ring to life. I couldn't recommend Liberty Diamonds more for anyone looking for a thoughtful, transparent, and genuinely magical ring-buying experience.
