Unfortunately, I trusted Emanuel Benji to create a custom piece, but from the start, he disregarded…read morethe agreed-upon details and attempted to manipulate me into accepting mistakes that were entirely his own. Rather than taking responsibility, he tried to charge me even more to fix errors that should never have happened in the first place. Emanuel's incompetence prevented me from finishing this project and he still refused to return my deposit (that he told me was for selecting stones), instead charging me for renderings that did not align with my original request. Emanuel operated with a complete lack of accountability for his mistakes, showing no regard for customer satisfaction. When considering something as meaningful and special as jewelry, ask yourself whether you want to risk dealing with this kind of experience--not just from him, but also from his father, who runs the business alongside him. Not to mention I ended up having the piece made with real diamonds for the same price as lab diamonds with another jeweler. There are plenty of honest, skilled jewelers out there. Don't risk bringing this kind of bad energy into your life.

They hand crafted 2 bands and hand picked 3 diamonds and let us come back to make a final decision before putting any deposit or anything down on it. There was no weird pressure from them. They even took us to coffee and treated us like true family. I will FOREVER go to them and send referrals. My assumption as to why they don't have a huge yelp following is they probably don't need it. I would highly highly recommend you to see them, I'm so happy I met them! I love my ring!!!

He is second to none! When I saw a friend of mine's wedding rings that were absolutely gorgeous, I asked her who designed them, and she gave me a rave recommendation for Claude! I had inherited my mom's engagement ring along with a few other pieces of jewelry that held a special sentimental value to me, but I had a vision of how I wanted to transform these pieces to fit my personal style while preserving their sentimental value. When I met with Claude, he was a great listener, taking into consideration all of my requirements, but he also offered up creative ideas and design alternatives I had not contemplated. The end result was beyond my wildest dreams! The pieces that he redesigned for me were exquisite! On top of all that he completed all of them in record time! I also decided to purchase a bracelet that he had designed for retail but was a perfect compliment to the other pieces he had custom designed for me! I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for fine jewelry and an amazing customer experience!

Bridal Diamond Palace, and my long-time friend NICOLAS, is one of those places.

0 out of 5 stars for David's Fine Jewelry:…read more Stay as far away from David's Fine Jewelry as you possibly can. He is very dishonest. You cannot trust him or his merchandise. I have documentation and photos of all the information I am sharing in this review. This review is based on fact and not opinion. My fiancé and I purchased a 14k white gold ring from David Yahudian (David's Fine Jewelry- Los Angeles, CA) on 10/15/17 at the TransWorld Jewelry Show in Rosemont, Illinois. David agreed to make us a copy of the sample ring I tried on at his booth (but without diamonds because that is what I needed for my wedding ceremony). The sample ring I tried on was a white gold ring that was polished and rhodium plated. Because the ring had to be special ordered, David was going to ship it to our house. When the ring was delivered, the ring looked unbelievably awful. It was in its most raw form--unpolished, uneven, dents and scratches, and a pale yellow color. In addition, the ring had no stamp on the inside to authenticate it was 14 karat gold. I'm still uncertain if what I received was actually gold or not. I made several polite attempts to resolve this situation with David Yahudian: 11/1/17- Phone Contact I spoke with David on the phone after receiving the ring. I told him the ring was unfinished and was not rhodium plated. At first, David tried to tell me that the ring was supposed to be like that. He said it was "brushed" metal. That was a complete lie. We ordered the ring exactly as it was at his booth but without diamonds. David then said to send the ring back so he could polish it. When I asked David to cover the shipping cost since the product he delivered was not what we initially agreed upon, he got angry and told us to send the ring back for a full refund and then hung up the phone. 11/1/17-I emailed David confirming what we discussed on the phone: "Hi David, Per our phone conversation today, we will be sending back the white gold ring for a full refund of $215 ($200 for the ring plus $15 for the engraving), and in addition, we will also need to be refunded for the cost of shipping. After we send the item, we will let you know the cost of shipping so you can include that in the final reimbursement total. We are very disappointed with the product we received. It was not what we agreed upon when we purchased the item on 10/15/17. The ring was sent to us unpolished and was not rhodium plated like the sample we tried on at the TransWorld Jewelry Show. Also, we are very unsatisfied with the poor craftsmanship of the milgrain and filigree metal work. With our wedding next month, we were really counting on you to follow through with your services, and are disappointed with what was delivered. Attached is the following: 1) 2 pictures of the ring that is being returned for a full refund 2) A picture of the receipt. 3) An itemized list of our purchases from 10/15/17" 11/2/17: David emailed me back denying what he had told me on the phone. Per his email on 11/2/17, he stated he would not refund my money for the ring (which is contradictory to what he told me on the phone). He requested that I send back the ring to be polished, and this time, he offered to refund me for the cost of shipping, which he initially refused to do when I spoke with him on the phone on 11/1/17. 11/5/17: I replied to David's email from 11/2/17. I stated that I no longer accepted his offer to fix the ring because I lost faith in his integrity to deliver what was agreed upon and to deliver it in a timely manner because he had not been truthful in his communications. I told him that the ring was purchased as a wedding band for our upcoming wedding and we didn't have time to send the ring back to California. In the end, because we were running out of time and needed the ring to be finished for our wedding ceremony, we took the ring to a local Jeweler to be refinished. This was a additional (and unnecessary) cost onto what we had already paid David to do. Overall, David is not a jeweler you can trust.

They have made all my customers not only incredibly happy, but feel like family. They have the expertise to easily create anything you can imagine, and they are GOOD, GOOD PEOPLE. I used many other jewelers and casting studios in DTLA and there is a reason I have been faithful to these guys for 13 years. They are beautiful people who won't take advantage of you, will find you the best deal possible on the perfect center stone for you, and create BEAUTIFUL, HIGH QUALITY work to showcase it. And they stand behind it. That sort of customer service is invaluable. I primarily create custom engagement rings and wedding bands, so you know if you have a happy return customer for life, that's a great indicator! They also have many beautiful designs of their own, if you are not into creating your own custom fine jewelry. Do yourself a favor and take the elevator up to 5. You'll save tons of agony with each floor you pass away from the stores on the street level!
