I knew I wanted a ring to compliment my engagement ring but I hadn't seen anything I really liked. My fiance recommended that we look to Dagesian Jewelry for a design and quote. Harout had me come in and really talked through some of the design options that would best fit my ring style and listened to what I was looking for. From design discussions to the final pickup, Harout was accommodating and so kind! The end product was better than I could have dreamed and he made the ring so quickly! I recommend everyone to check out Dagesian for all jewelry needs if you're looking for high quality and fair pricing!

Superb service, excellent selection, quality and fair prices for loyal customers.

And now I am happy to be sending my son Nathan to them for an engagement ring! I hope that Lupe helps him find what he wants or they can design a custom ring.

(The secure elevator system is another story, but someone will help you.) This is a family-owned business. The owners are knowledgeable, honest, and willing to work with you. In my experience in the jewelry district, not all are alike. If you love pearls like I do, their showroom has a variety of beautiful pearl jewelry from the VERY high end and also a selection that is readily available for purchase. Pearls, nowadays, are a trend and very sought after...in every color, shape, and size. Ikeda can accommodate. You just need to ask and they will guide you. They are knowledgeable and will steer you in the right direction. More importantly, Ikeda is my go-to for re-stringing pearl necklaces (which I have a good amount of) that have passed through their hands. SILK THREAD - the absolute standard and should be your standard - is used to re-string my necklaces and bracelets the right way. I've also brought loose pearls I've had laying around like dead money and remodeled them into bracelets and necklaces. What you should know is that they re-string other beads too. It feels good being able to have a reliable source like Ikeda to renew the life in my pearl jewelry that's been in a box for years, come back to life. (FYI, you really shouldn't leave your pearls in a box for an extended amount of time. At least, that's what I've heard.)

The Insider's Secret for Exquisite Pearls!…read more Referred by a friend who's a private high-end jeweler, I made the trek to downtown L.A. to find Seven Seas Pearls. There I met George, the industry's best-kept secret! He primarily sells wholesale, but if you're lucky enough to buy from him, you'll get the same breathtaking pearls as Mikimoto, minus the hefty markup. Honest, incredibly knowledgeable, and with an eye for true quality, George is the real deal. A true connoisseur knows that luxury isn't about a fancy box, it's about what's inside. If you want true quality without the markup, skip the luxury storefronts and go straight to the source!

I went to see Yong at the end of July to have my engagement ring re-done. There was nothing wrong…read morewith it but I thought I was ready for a change. I picked out a new semi-mount and, two weeks later, I had a brand new ring which was completely different from the ring I had been wearing for 17 years. It was beautiful and I thought it was exactly what I wanted. Not to mention the pricing was very good. Days passed and something wasn't right. When I looked at the ring, I didn't love it. Was it the prongs on top? Hmmm, maybe. But I wore the ring for three weeks just to see if it was just a matter of getting used to it. After that time, I still wasn't crazy about the ring design that I had selected. I wasn't even sure I could even do anything about it because, after all, I was the one who had made the choice after going through Princess Jewelry's large selection of antique settings. But I contacted Yong anyway and he gave me a few options that might soften the look of the prongs. I went back and he worked his magic by splitting the prongs and making them more subtle. It looked better and I was pleased. However, a few days later, I realized that this piece, although lovely in its own right, was just not...me. What did I do? I went back to Princess Jewelry, yet again, and talked with Yong. I told him I REALLY wanted to love my ring but I just wasn't loving it. He gave me a few more suggestions but then said if I still wasn't satisfied, we could just start over. He and his wife showed so much patience. They never tried to push anything on me and showed me more styles and gave me the time I needed to really, really find something I liked. Yong had made my engagement and wedding rings and my husband's wedding band 17 and 15 years ago. He showed me an updated version of my old ring but I was hesitant because it was too similar. I couldn't help but gravitate toward that setting anyway. I loved my old ring. So after much deliberation and some advice from a friend, I finally made the decision and picked the new evolution of my old setting. One week later, my ring was finished and I absolutely LOVE it!! It just feels right and it looks right and it truly reflects me and my style. I imagine this is how Cinderella felt when she tried on that glass slipper. I know I didn't have to write this long winded review but I'm not sure I could have gotten this customer care and service from any other jeweler. They really wanted me to be happy and gave me the time and space I needed to come to a thoughtful decision. I will continue going to Princess Jewelry for all of my fine jewelry needs and will recommend them to anyone who is looking for a jeweler they can trust. The Jewelry District in Downtown LA can be overwhelming but Princess Jewelry is THE best, hands down. P.S. The cost for the changes I made were not what you'd think they'd be. Yong charged me a very minimal amount for the extra time and labor and their pricing is already very fair and reasonable.

I had difficulty…read moresourcing a particular diamond shape and other jewelers at most would find me two diamonds to check out after several weeks. Dave was able to source 5 to 6 diamonds within 5 days and I was very blown away by the quality. He educates you on the 4 c's of diamonds and doesn't push you on a sale. He is by appointment only but he is very responsive via email. He will spend at least an hour giving you and your partner his undivided attention during the appointment. This level of service is unlike that offered by other jewelers in the LA jewelry district. I found out about Dan on reddit because of the good advice he's given to strangers through the years. He's earned an excellent reputation for how he educates folks online without requesting for any incentives. Glad to have a diamond expert who truly cares for his clients and runs a great business! His prices are a little higher than some quotes I've received but I do think it's reasonable because of how much extra customer service you're getting from the experience. He has a stellar reputation and offers high quality diamonds. Aubrey is part of his team and she's the one who will give you great advice on your ring design. For those from out of town, I think Dan is the right person to go to if you live outside of LA because he does online appointments and has a strong reputation you can lean on.

Whenever a large purchase is to be made, one important aspect of the purchase process is finding…read moresomeone that you connect with, makes you feel comfortable, and you feel is trustworthy. My experience with Aspen Diamond was just that. I immediately felt comfortable with Sev. He was very informative and great at explaining the different factors to consider, and extremely patient while I asked a ton of questions. It's as important to Sev as it is to you that you are satisfied with your purchase. He gives you the pros and cons straight of each item you are considering, and never tries to up-sell you. He lets you know where you can find the best value at your price point. He also clearly understands that a sell is not the end of the relationship, it's only the beginning. So he makes sure that if you are not satisfied with any part of the purchase, or if you want to make changes, or want to come back and have your item cleaned at any time, that he is always going to do that for you. In the end, I was highly satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend Sev, and Aspen Diamond, to my closest friends. As a matter of fact, I have already done so recently.

It's hard to add anything to all these reviews because each one tells it precisely as it is. If we…read morecould give Aspen one hundred stars, we all would--because the largest and most brilliant diamond you'll encounter here is Aspen, himself. In my experience, there's no dealer/jeweler out there like him or equal to him. So just a couple of things I haven't seen noted in the reviews: Aspen is a gifted designer. His creativity, coupled with his demand for excellence in gems and in the artistry of the jewelers who work with him, makes for unbelievably exquisite designs. Just ask him to show you some of his latest creations, you'll see what I'm talking about. When you see what he can do, you'll know you're in the right hands. He's also outstanding at redesigning your jewelry, using the same stones and even the metal the stones are set in. We brought him my old wedding ring that I was never truly happy with in the first place and told him we wanted a redesign using only the stones in the ring as we were on a tight budget. We talked for a bit about what I wanted, he sketched out a simple design that was exactly what I wanted, and then a month later, knocked me out with the result. Please see our before and after pictures for the incredible transformation. I am ecstatic with my new wedding ring--classic, timeless, as someone else said here, now a family heirloom. Thank you, Aspen.
