We have been shopping with Pacific Diamond for years. The staff (especially Bev) is friendly and helpful and have never made us feel pressured to purchase during any of our visits. We have always felt that we were given fair pricing and great value. Thank you Pacific Diamond for all your help throughout the years! read more

This place was amazing ! Huge Thank you to Xaria for going above and beyond ! The entire staff I encountered was kind and personable !

Staff were so welcoming and friendly! Served all my needs and would recommend this place to everyone!

We visit here from time to time as my wife loves jewelry and ... I'm married still. Anyway, we bought a beautiful Pearl just because my wife loved it and ... I paid cuz I'm married. The prices here are always reasonable and our service was excellent! Xaria was phenomenal. They had a few other beautiful pieces that my wife liked and we will be visiting again soon because ... I'm married! This is a family run business and it shows. I enjoy myself when I'm there. It's very nice and they're very friendly and like I said, the prices are very reasonable. And Ms. Xaria, thank you for your great customer service and care. I appreciate the character, integrity and honesty this store offers their customers! See you soon because ... I'm married! read more

We have a 3 carat earring that sparkles all the time. year after year year we find what we are looking for. Sam

Sadly Ted Gonzales and his staff at Pacific Diamond have lost the Aloha Spirt. Sure they are very welcoming when you're purchasing their gooda. Ted will tell you amusing story's age keep you entertained. They will say if your not happy at later date bring it back for full credit on another purchase. Which is true they will give you full credit. Unfortunately when picking something out and asking the price is oh darn thing isn't priced left me go calculate that for you. Every notice very little of there show case items require calculation. I pick out a used watch that retails in the $800 range only to be told they certainly would apply my $1600. to the price. After a calculation this used watch would require my 1600 credit plus $500. bring the price of a 800ish used watch to a whopping $2100. When I balked and ask what the "little less than full credit" amount would be they went away to calculate coming back with a $385 offer. So much for a little less! A 7 gram 14k gold ring I paid 1600 for now worth a fraction of Current scrap price which was $568. Damn those calculations. When I balked again I was sent on my way with a hardy Have a nice day Shouted at-me as I walked out. Then something I hadn't notice and very illegal was the ring had no marking.no Karate stamp no hallmark nothing. Trying to sell it was difficult. So I appealed to Ted himself. He agreed no markings is illegalwe styled on a buy back price of $450 and was told his staff thought I was weird and had ask I shop elsewhere. What is weird is the calculations rather than marked pricing gold rings without marking. That's weird. Ted and team have zero Aloha spirt. Things like treating people fairly just being polite and complimentar. Ted change your practices or change products. Say Used cars, you and staff would do well! read more

If I could give this zero stars I would. TERRIBLE SERVICE, OVERPRICED AND OVERRATED. I just wanted to get ring resized and had the worst experience ever. Maybe because I wasn't spending enough for them to care enough this time because my family has used them before and never had an issue when we were spending a lot more. When I asked the sales person how the sizing bands should feel, because they weren't the exact same shape as my ring, all she did was toss me another set but in plastic instead of metal. I tried getting a better answer but she basically told me to go with the one that just felt right. She didn't attempt to put any on and see how they fit or give me and alternate ring to possibly see how it would be, nothing. On top of that, they said the size I need was such big jump, it warranted a cost of over $400. At the time I didn't know where else to go and proceeded to use their services. When I got my ring back it was way too small and couldn't even get over my knuckle. When I asked about fixing it, the same lady I had before told me the good thing was that it wouldn't cost as much as the first time since it would only be a small adjustment. Excuse me. If my size jump was so much, the amount of platinum the kept from the original should've paid for the new resizing. Of course I did NOT use their services again (and never will) and am so glad another friend of mine reminded me of another place I could go to. When I went there they told me that they would never have charged the price they did and said the size jump wasn't that serious. They also said that if the ring didn't fit, they would fix it at no additional cost and was quoted a little over $100. Of course I now used ELSON'S GOLDSMITH for jewelry repairs, cleaning, purchases, etc. They are not as big as PD but still have a good amount of selections and services. They used to be right across the street from this PD and I wish I had seen them before, but lesson learned. They are in a new location across Pearlridge that I have yet to visit but assume they now have a bigger space and more selections to choose from. I will never return to this PD or any of their stores and tell everyone one I know not to use them unless they absolutely cannot find what they want elsewhere. read more

Pleasant and amazing experience. Very professional and friendly staff. They bought all of my broken 14k gold chains and jewelry and even fixed my pendant I was wearing. Very excellent service and Carrie J will take very good care of you. I promise! read more

Don't ever take your watch for repair to Pacific Diamond. They butchered the back of my Movado when they checked the battery. It is not an expensive watch but has a lot of sentimental value. I will NEVER go to that store ever again.. They supposedly send their watches out for repair to someone on the island. He should work in a meat department as a butcher. No one has ever damaged the back of this watch like this for the over 30 years that I have owned it. I thought that I could "trust" this establishment as they have been around for quite a long time here on the island. Don't let that fool you....HORRIBLE BUSINESS!!!! And nothing can be done to fix it. BTW, Ted is horribly rude. Hung up on me after telling me not to call or come to his store ever again. WITH PLEASURE TED! read more

Pacific Diamond - They totally gouged the back of my watch. BUTCHERS!!!!! The owner Ted is horribly rude who said he was a multimillionaire. Who cares?!! - Jewelry Repair Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Nice and friendly people. Easy locate. Next to City Mill in Waimalu. Went to Starbucks right after

Xaria and the whole team are the best! Great customer and quality services. A must go for watch repairs and jewelry purchases.

Jeri is an absolute angel and helped us create my dream ring. Everyone there was so friendly and inviting. The whole process of creating an engagement ring from start to finish was so much fun. I'm glad we could trust Pacific Diamond to make my ring exactly how I wanted and I look forward to stopping by for regular cleanings. Thanks to everyone there! read more

I took my watch there for repair the lady said it was going to only take like 4 days it ended up being 3 weeks. No calls, apologies, not even a discount for their bad service. I should have read their ratings before giving my priceless watch to those unprofessional workers. I would never go back there again. Next time I will do my research. Customer service rating is 1/2 a star. I regret going there. read more

Laurie Tamai our week started off badly for my girlfriends ring had been stolen. But thank god we ended up at pacific diamond where laurie and staff provided an awesome experience. Not only such easy going atmosphere but they exceeded our expectations! we walked out with a great deal that we could have never dreamed of! we are definitely going back for our wedding rings and more!!!! mahalo tihana and rickey read more

With apprehension, my daughter & I went to Pacific Diamond to sell a mishmash of what we thought were gold pieces. We were cordially welcomed, and Kaila Shimabukuro was our contact. With her friendly demeanor, we started feeling at ease. She professionally explained what she was doing & while we were dreading the news that we had mostly junk, we were comfortable. She separated the good from the not-too-good stash & never made us feel inadequate; the fake gold could be given to charity or whatever we decided. As she did her analysis, she was encouraging. At some point, her boss, Mr. Ted Gonzales, the owner, came by to say hello. He did not portray himself as a "boss" but instead as a warm, caring individual. At the end of the review, Kaila expressed that we would probably be pleased with the outcome. We were surprised, pleased and happy at the amount of $ we were to receive (it could be a check or cash or even be divided as check and cash, however we wished). Our first experience with Pacific Diamond was enjoyable and positive, and we plan to go there for all future needs. We highly recommend this superb company! read more

The business is good and have quality items at comparable prices with higher end businesses. The only negative feedback that I have that can be easily fixed is their customer service. They lack the ability to prioritize and neglect interested customers. I have noticed and from my experiences that they meaning all service members do not make attempts to provide services unless you make an attempt to get their attention. Some customers including myself have waited nearly 30 minutes before deciding to leave or attempt to get a members attention. Great customer service means following best practices like valuing customers' time, having a pleasant attitude, and providing knowledgeable and resourceful resources, but that you also take things a step further to exceed -- rather than just meet -- expectations. read more

There is no substitute for quality care, friendly service, and specialized attention. Pacific Diamond Waimalu goes above and beyond and I am truly a VERY thankful client. Big shoutout to Noah, Laurie and the whole staff for your speedy service on my repair and great conversations. Pacific Diamond . Friends, reach out to my peeps for all your shiny needs. read more

This is my honest opinion. The business is clean and there's lots of nice jewelry in there. I went in there because I was in the area, I brought my watch there for repair and the lady who took it was friendly. She quoted me a price and said they could do it. I usually take my watches to a shop near Ala Moana but I gave Pacific Diamond a chance. I was very disappointed because they took a month and a half to repair my watch. I called them and they gave me a lame excuse that they had many watches to repair before mine. If they had so many to do why were they so greedy for work that it makes the customer dissatisfied. When it was finally done a week later I went to pick it up and I didn't even get an apology or a little discount. I found out the real reason why they were late with my watch, I found that they moved a few spaces down and they were most likely caught up with setting up and cleaning of their new store, and not like they said that they had many watches before mine. What a joke of a jewelry store. My advice to anyone who needs a watch repair or any jewelry is to shop around, there are way better stores than Pacific Diamond. This should be the store you go to if you are desperate and have no other choice. By the way, if you need watch repair check out "Honolulu Time" it's way better. Just being honest. read more

Waste of time!!! Called in to ask if they do battery replacement for bulova watches. "Oh yes" they said "come on down" asked what the prices range from and wait time considering I was in a hurry. "20min tops super fast" Took about 5 min to get there. Gave them my watch. Didn't bat their eye while looking at it. Worker took about 15 min to "try and pry it open". Didn't even open it and tells me "we don't have this battery here!" ON TOP OF.... leaving scratches from trying to pry it open! Super pissed!!! If I didn't have a dinner to go to, I would of stayed back and snapped!!! Tried calling the next day to speak to a owner, bottom line - he said he didn't care! SUCH BUSINESS THEY RUN!!! ‍ read more

A security guard let me in which made me feel safe and unsafe at the same time. All the clerks were busy so I waited until someone was free. When she asked what I wanted I said I wanted to sell some pieces. I was taken to a desk, where I asked what they pay, and mentioned the days going rate for 14k gold. At that point the lady got rather curt with me, 'Well, your not going to get that unless you sell it your self!' Yes, I know but I was wondering what your rate is. She examined my pieces and put them on a scale without showing me the weight. All the while going on about how I wasn't going to get what I wanted. Then she spit a price out at me that was extremely low. I found her extremely rude and left in tears. I knew I wasn't going to get the market price but she could have been a whole lot kinder about it. So even though I saw some nice pieces in there I would not buy from them. I am a GIA trained Accredited Jewelry Professional, and I was treated like dirt. read more

Very rude on the phone. Seemed offended that I asked them to provide a paid service of authenticating, cleaning, and polishing a gold chain that was not purchased from them. Business is business. Money is money. Your website literally says jewelry cleaning. Boo. read more

Kai at Pacific Diamond in Walmalu was extremely helpful, caring and professional. They replaced a diamond in my grandmother's wedding ring and repaired my wedding ring. Both rings are beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the value, workmanship and expertise. read more

If you are looking for an engagement ring or jewelry in general, I definitely recommend coming here! My boyfriend and I have been going engagement ring shopping and everywhere is either way too expensive, or I didn't find anything I like. Well, we decided to stop by here to take a look, and we didn't anticipate on buying anything that day. Well.. we ended up purchasing! Laurie was so helpful and sweet. She got everything that was the type I wanted and in our budget range. She even asked us what monthly payment plan my boyfriend was looking for, and she exceeded our expectations!! Great customer service, (and great coffee! They have a fancy coffee machine with espresso, cappuccinos, etc as options) and such a big selection to choose from.. AND they customize orders! Can't wait to see my ring in its final form :) read more

I had a diamond reset here and cost $500 for the new simple white gold mount/ring and a $200 diamond setting fee. They said it would be 2 weeks. It was pretty bad when I got the ring back and took a closer look. Some prongs were not even touching the diamond and the diamond was crooked. I brought it back and was told I would have to pay for a new mount for $200. I don't think I should have been liable for their mess up. I ended up paying because I really wanted to finish what was started. Also did not receive the old ring the diamond was taken from... They just kept it. In the end it was a $200 very valuable lesson. read more

Laurie was exceptional! Found a beautiful diamond, then customized an incredible setting to perfectly complement each other. Went to several places to look at engagement rings and Laurie and her team were the most accommodating and helpful. They're so efficient my ring was ready in 3 days! My fiancé and I were both so happy with her service and how the final ring came out. read more

Good service,the staff is really helpful and the security is really cool,and good deals,should pay a visit.

I need to leave more Yelp love after my most recent visits! I've been cleaning out my jewelry boxes and fixing those pieces of jewelry that I've always said that I would fix "someday." I had two watches with batteries that have been dead for years. I brought them by the shop, expecting that I would have to drop them off and return for them days later. To my surprise, they fixed both watches on the spot for less than I got quoted at other local watch battery places, like the Sears at Pearlridge. I brought in a chain that needed to be fixed since the links were separated. She explained exactly what would need to be repaired, how they would repair it, and provided an estimated pricing. I also had a ring that had the 10K stamp removed when I got it resized years ago. The shop tested the metal for me to verify that it was 10K and also tested the diamonds. They thoroughly cleaned the ring and told me that they would call in a few days when the stamp was done. When I returned to pick up the ring, the manager wouldn't even charge me for it since she said it was a simple stamping and I'm a regular! Additionally I was able to sell some jewelry that I never wear anymore for a very fair price. They weigh every piece in front of you and explain the valuation. I love the great service every time I visit. Mahalo! read more

I came here today to get my engagement ring cleaned. As I was waiting, I looked around and saw a beautiful ring for my hubby!!! Laurie chatted with us while my ring got cleaned and I looked around. She was awsome!! Great personality!!! I ended up buying this ring that I fell in love with for the looks and the price!! Laurie had a lot to do with it also. If she wasn't so nice and down to earth, I may not have made this purchase. Because, let's face it, no one wants to buy anything from someone with a bad attitude and a horrible personality!! But she made us feel right at home! Thanks Laurie!!! Previous review was 4 stars Update review has 5 stars I am updating my review to add another star to my 4 star previous review!! The reason for the update is because I believe Laurie deserves 5 stars!!! I was already satisfied with the quality of their jewelry and their customer service but the more I go there and see Laurie the more I fall in love with her! So, if you are ever in the area and looking for some good quality jewelry and wonderful customer service , come by and see Laurie!! She will help you with all of your jewelry needs!!! read more

I went into the Waimalu location with a group of friends today to purchase Pandora charms. Laurie and Danielle were warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped into the door. Laurie had helped us on several occasions and each time I'm amazed at how she treats each and every customer as a valued guest and family member. She did not disappoint, if anything I was even more amazed at her ability to multi task while still providing for the needs of all of her customers. While we were there, she worked with a customer picking up an order, changed another customers watch battery and assisted another walk in client. I'm saddened to hear about the other reviewers experience. It's in stark contrast to my own and not what I observed of Laurie today. She and Danielle helped my friends and I select beautiful pieces that reflected our unique personalities while excusing themselves to care for the walk in clients. Not all of us made a purchase and yet each of us walked away feeling valued and cared for. We love Pacific Diamond and are taken with Laurie and her staff. I can't imagine meeting her and not falling in love with her joy, charm and warmth! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! read more

Shister alert! Initially helpful to help go through my mothers "costume" jewelry after her death. Now, I think they do that to see if anything of value to offer and resale. I had them repair a couple of things and found a gold and diamond watch. They said they could get a quote to fix and or melt. The diamonds were not worth anything due to poor quality they said. I agreed and they took weeks and forgot to get back to me and I had to ask for pricing. I agreed to a price for melting since too expensive to repair. Agreed and then asked if I could have the diamonds if they weren't going to use them. This is when the deal and the owner began to unravel! I found out from staff that the deal included the diamonds after all and then since questioned, the owner said never mind he didn't like my questions, did't want to deal with me, took back the deal and said I was difficult to work with and hung up on me. Beware owner cray cray!! read more

Horrible service the customer service locks big time There's no communication and there's overpromising and not delivering Purchased my rings from the original Pacific diamond in town over 19 years ago So my husband went to get me a surprise ring to add on to my wedding rings for my birthday And he came back with a pretty nice ring but it didn't match my set The lady there try to "selll me again that ring that doesn't match I got to resize my ring because their original ring I bought from them hello And she proceeds to tell me that they're going to extend it and make it square Who the hell wheres a square a ring I tell her no I didn't tell her if you can I get my original rings that I bought from you resize then I want my money back for the new ring that my husband spent $3000 on She comes back and tells me she can do it and the ring will be round I really hope Ted from the original pacific Diamond sees these reviews because he needs to definitely work on that office!

This review is long overdue. Since I have time on my hands, I wanted to be sure to get my review on yelp. I brought in an old yellow gold diamond bracelet to see what I could get for it in money or trade. Laurie Tamai helped me to see the possibilities and I couldn't be more grateful. Laurie suggested I use the diamonds in my bracelet to create a diamond station necklace sometimes commonly known as Diamonds by the Yard. I was able to use all the diamonds in the necklace and traded the bracelet plus some other scrap gold I had to put towards the total cost. I am so happy to now have a new piece of modern classic jewelry that I can wear and enjoy. If you have old jewelry that you don't wear anymore, see Laurie at Pacific Diamond and she will help you to see the possibilities to get something new! read more

First time here... I was driving by and just stopped in. No thanks, workers were nice and helpful but owner or manager had some attitude and made me feel small and inferior! Corrected me on how I pronounced certain high end brands! Maybe because I told her that I was just looking and didn't plan on buying anything today, so she treated me like I was nobody. Asked to get a quote for my watch but she said why would you want a quote if you're just looking! Would have to be really desperate to come me back here... Not much selection, 1 Rolex on hand but not my style... read more
