I could not recommend David & Sons enough. They went above and beyond for me prior to my proposal…read more They were able to expedite my ring being made, crafted the ring to perfection, were incredibly diligent and responsive, and also resized my ring for free. I worked with Jonathan and I couldn't recommend anyone better. He truly is the best in the business. He always had my best interest in mind and is so knowledgeable. I trusted him and his guidance and he always came through for me. You're doing yourself a disservice by not going to David & Sons.

My partner and I had an extremely disappointing experience at David & Sons. We booked an…read moreappointment based on their long list of 5-star ratings, and specifically chose Fay due to her positive reviews. When we arrived we were handed off to David (the owner) with no explanation. The appointment felt rushed and impersonal from the start. David didn't ask basic questions like our names, budget, or where we were in the process, and offered little guidance. We are early in the process, so I was hoping to try on different styles to get a sense of my preferences. But after trying on just a couple rings there was no effort to understand my priorities or suggest alternatives. I felt like I had to push just to see more options. Our 2PM appointment was essentially over by 2:05PM. I left feeling sad and disappointed that such an important and special moment was handled with so little care. Before going here, I recommend looking at the other 1 star reviews -- they are honest and I should've listened.

He was very responsive, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident every step of the way. When I received the ring, it exceeded my expectations--absolutely beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for. The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding, and it's clear he truly cares about his work. I highly recommend Armin to anyone looking for a trustworthy jeweler who delivers great service and amazing quality. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

I saw a birthstone toi et moi ring on Ms. Hailey Bieber and I knew that's exactly where I wanted to take inspiration from. I found the same style, but in my daughters' birthstones, on Diamondful's Etsy page. After reading through reviews, I wanted to make my purchase here. My husband had his reservations about ordering something so expensive online, so we ended up going to a local jeweler. The local jeweler said they would be able to make the same ring for a similar price, so we considered it. However, when I went home to inspect our quote, I noticed that the aquamarine would be an imitation stone. After some light research, I learned that imitation stones can be made of plastic. At that point, I honestly felt deceived, because the jeweler didn't take the time to educate my husband and I on what we would be potentially buying. If we are going to purchase a piece of jewelry that is supposed to commemorate 7+ years of marriage and our 2 kids, it shouldn't have plastic in it. I told my husband that my gut told me we should go online, so he told me to reach out to Diamondful. I messaged Armin and within the first hour, I knew I made the right choice. Armin is extremely fast and efficient in communicating. He's exceptionally knowledgeable and honest when it comes to quality, durability, aesthetics, and practicality. He's also patient and thorough when educating clients like us (very limited jewelry knowledge). We are also so appreciative of his generosity, as he passed on his savings to us for one of the stones to keep us within our budget. The passion he has for his work is really evident in the customer service that he provides. Thank you so much Armin! It was a pleasure working with you and we can't wait to do it again soon!

Oh, and don't be alarmed when that piece you bought at a retail mall store that you paid 3x it's worth complete with paperwork... doesn't hold water... and is only worth a quarter of what you paid! It happens to the best of us! He will pay you more than anyone else and help you purchase what will hold its value for generations to come. Good guy.

There is no way I can properly express how wonderful of an experience working with Jackie was. I…read morewas looking for a place that would do custom engagement rings for me and my fiance, and managed to find David Levi and Sons through searching the internet. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when it came to rings, but Jackie walked me through selecting a stone cut and carat, ring sizing, and even gave input on some design questions that we had! In the end, we were able to provide Jackie a drawing of what we wanted our ring to look like, and to this day I am stunned at how perfectly it was brought to life. She also managed to keep the ring perfectly within the budget that I had allocated. It was right around Thanksgiving and I was looking to propose by the end of the year, so I had already resigned myself to having to postpone my proposal until after New Year's, but Jackie assured me that it wasn't too late. And boy did she deliver - communication during the stressful holiday season was impeccable, and she kept me updated throughout on our back and forth during the design process. She even managed to squeeze our ring in right before they closed for the Christmas/New Year's break despite a mountain of other clients with similar due dates, and words can not express just how thankful I am! I have no doubts that we will be back for our matching wedding rings, and I can not recommend David Levi and Sons, especially Jackie, enough!

I was happy that they made good on it, but it definitely left a deep scar on my relationship with Robbins Brothers. I will probably return now, but I would definitely recommend you tread very carefully when buying anything expensive. Once 30 days hits, you need to return anything you are not 100% sure about, don't listen to the salespeople and exchange anything (like we did). Although I was eventually given a full refund, I went thru a lot to get it! Numerous emails to corporate, even emailing the parent company, threatening legal action, etc. I shouldn't have needed to go that far with it, but I had to, mostly because the store managers were unwilling to grant a refund. In the end, they were able to retain my business.

From the purchase to the annual cleaning, Garith has made the process so enjoyable with his radiant personality and contagious laughter. I leave the store feeling so loved, my heart so full, as if I've just had brunch with an old friend. He is knowledgeable, professional, and absolutely hilarious ! I rave about Robbins Brothers to all my family and friends for their great selection, great customer service, and amazing peace of mind lifetime warranty for your jewelry. When you shop here, it's not just a purchase, it's an experience. Coming in to get my ring cleaned and catching all the laughs with Garith has been most rewarding and I know many will share the same experience.

However, I was immediately blown away by James and Ariel's hospitality, customer service, and knowledge. I knew I wanted to buy from them. My first visit was with James, and let me tell you, he is AWESOME. We felt like family and enjoyed discussing our ring wants and don't-wants with him. Within an hour, we had our dream ring. James, if you're reading this, you are the man! Thanks for all your help. My second visit was with Ariel, and let me tell you again, he is AWESOME as well. Ariel has been communicative and SO kind. Every step of the way has been seamless and easy with these two. Ariel, if you're reading this, you are the man as well! Thank you, too. I hardly ever leave Yelp reviews, but James and Ariel were too good to not let everyone know. They have all my jewelry business moving forward, and I cannot recommend them enough.

He went to a few different jewelers when he started shopping for a ring, and he always said that he knew instantly that Irelia was it! She worked with him to design my beautiful ring, and I have taken it back many times to get cleaned and serviced. We just had our first baby, and my husband wanted to surprise me with a special ring. Naturally, he went back to Irelia to make a custom ring using the gold and diamonds from the rings of his grandparents, who have passed. It also integrates the birthstone of my baby girl. It is a one-of-a-kind special ring that I absolutely adore, and one day I will be able to pass it on to my daughter! I wear 3 rings that are all from Irelia, and each one is so special. Not only are they beautiful and sentimental, but they are also one-of-a-kind. Getting my rings cleaned is always a breeze, as was a re-sizing that I needed to do after having my baby. This shop holds a special place in our hearts! If you want to get a beautiful piece of jewelry or design something custom, this is the place to go!!
