Elan is such an amazing and helpful person! Came into his shop yesterday had one diamond style in mind and immediately Elan showed me exactly what my interests were and did not try to enforce any other diamonds into the picture. I was looking for a 2.5 carat loose diamond and he had one available along with a few other examples he's worked on and immediately sold! He is well educated in the diamond industry and also knows his stuff about the GIA, highly recommend Elan, thank you!!! read more

We have known Elan for close to 10 years now and he has always done an excellent job for us as a family. Whethere it be something such as a simple quesiton or as extensive as creating a custom ring Elan and his family have always helped guide us in the right direction. We were recently able to upgrade my wife's diamond and once again Elan provided us with a great stone at an awesome value. We will keep Elan in mind for all of our future purchases. read more

Best prices in town! Awesome customer service. Really loved the experience at 1-800 loose diamonds.

I couldn't be happier about the service and ring I got from Loose Diamonds. I wasn't too sure what I was looking for when I went in, but they helped me pick out the perfect ring and also worked with my price range. They were able to have it done in the very short time I asked, and it was everything my now Fiancée could have wanted. She said yes! read more

My fiance got my engagement ring made by Elan. He spent hours with us, so patient, not putting pressure on us, rather educating us on different stones and settings. He then listened to us and gave us exactly what we wanted and better. I wanted the band as thin as possible, with 14k gold so the color blended in with my skin, with the diamond sitting as close to my finger as possible. He exceeded my expectations and my ring is next level stunning. Perfect customer service and perfect execution of my dream ring. He is so kind. His staff are so sweet. He was a pleasure to work with in every regard. He's honest, logical, direct and was respectful of our budget. Thank you Elan! read more

ORIGINAL REVIEW from Feb 3, 2023 I am so grateful that I found Elan and 1-800 Loose Diamonds. After doing some research, I scheduled back-to-back appointments at multiple jewelers downtown. I had some good and bad experiences, but it wasn't until I walked into 1-800 Loose Diamonds that I knew I found the best of the best. After meeting Elan, it was the easiest decision ever. I canceled any remaining appointments I had that day because it was obvious I had found the right place. Elan and his family were so kind, honest, and comfortable. They were not pushy at all. My goal, of course, was to find the most beautiful, best ring for me. And this was the only place that I felt actually had that same goal. They just wanted me to be happy and love my ring. Elan custom-designed the band and setting, even sending me texts with a 3D mockup for approval before getting started. Getting to meet his parents and hear more about the story behind their business was lovely, and I felt really good about supporting this family business. My ring turned out BEAUTIFUL. I could not be happier with the outcome. I seriously feel like I have the most gorgeous ring in the world, and I cannot thank Elan and his family enough. I already have friends asking me to send them his contact when they see my ring. I cannot recommend 1-800 Loose Diamonds enough. They're the real deal! UPDATE from August 7, 2025: My fiancée and I just went back to Elan for our wedding bands, and once again, the experience was perfect. After how much we loved our engagement rings, it was a no-brainer to return. Elan was just as kind, responsive, and trustworthy as before. He made the whole process so easy and enjoyable, and we really appreciated how reachable and communicative he was every step of the way. We love that this is a family-run business. Working with Elan always feels personal and honest, which is such a rare find. Our wedding bands are absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're debating where to go, trust me: this is the place. read more

I have had multiple great experiences with Elan and team. They have quality options for all kinds of diamonds. I got my engagement ring here and my fiance loves it. Elan understood what we were looking for and walked us through the whole process. I would highly recommend going to Elan for your diamond and jewelry needs. read more

Elan was fantastic to work with and created a stunning ring for me. Will definitely work with him again!

When we were shopping for our engagement ring we went to a couple different places before stumbling upon 1-800-loose diamonds. We made a quick appointment for the next day as Elan was very accommodating. We had a great experience; Elan and his mother were very helpful and were able to show us lots of options for diamonds. Not to mention, their prices cannot be beat - very affordable compared to other options. We had quite a specific request for the ring but Elan was able to accommodate and create exactly what we wanted. He was super communicative throughout the process, sending us CAD designs and listening to all our requests. After we finalized the design, the ring was ready in about a week. Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend 1-800-loose diamonds. I love that it is a family owned business and we will definitely be back in the future! read more

Amazing customer service! My family has known David and Michelle since the 90s. When my husband and I decided to upgrade the center stone of my engagement ring, we went to 1-800 Loose Diamonds while on vacation to see my family. David and Michelle are warm, welcoming, and professional. They were patient as I debated between various options and happily answered all of my questions. They helped us find a beautiful piece that fit within our budget and even had it ready before we had to fly home. We will definitely come back for any future purchases. I would highly recommend them! read more

We have now had both an engagement ring and diamond pendant custom made with David, Michelle, and Elan, and we would highly recommend them! They were very patient and accommodating with all of our requests, and sent us 3D CAD renderings before they made the items so that we could confirm that they were what we wanted. Both pieces ended up incredibly beautiful, my wife loves them! Would highly recommend going with 1800 Loose Diamonds for any of your loose diamond or custom jewelry needs. read more

I bought a wedding band - jade and titanium - maybe 12 years ago and due to my own issues it got pretty beat up. I sent it down to Elan and David and they did a phenomenal job of restoring it. It looks absolutely amazing and is like brand new! I'm so happy I continue to utilize them for all my fine jewelry needs. Highly recommend! read more

I was in search of a diamond for a custom setting I purchased online from a jeweler in New York. A very good friend of mine recommended 1-800 Loose Diamonds. I have to admit the name was a little off-putting at first because it sounded....well....a little on the generic side. Seeing they were well-recommended by my friend (who wouldn't steer me wrong AND worked in the L.A. downtown jewelry district for over 10 years), I decided to give them a try. I'm so happy I did! Elan and Michelle were very accommodating from the start. Their appointments were flexible and their stones were amazing. Elan went out of his way not only to show me the cuts I wanted to see, but by offering to re-do my setting when we found out the jeweler in New York had custom made the setting to hold a round stone, which is not what I wanted. I had searched for the perfect setting for so long and had my heart set on a setting for a cushion cut diamond, and Elan definitely delivered. I can't thank Elan and Michelle enough for helping me create the perfect ring. My friends and family say it's absolutely stunning! I hope the pictures I've posted really show the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the ring they re-created for me. I will definitely be returning for a custom wedding band once we have a wedding date set. Again, thank you Elan and Michelle. You're amazing! read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Elan for our wedding bands, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The customer service was exceptional, and his attention to detail in crafting our rings was truly remarkable. Highly recommend! read more

I was referred to Loose Diamonds when shopping for an engagement ring for my now fiancee. From the beginning, David and his wife were upfront and honest about what was available, pricing, and everything else associated with the shopping process. They did not hesitate to answer any of my basic questions and presented me with all of my options in a straightforward manner. I shopped around at other places to get a feeling for my options, and not only was the process much more pleasant at Loose Diamonds, but their pricing was also highly competitive. When I purchased the diamond, they were able to get the ring sized and delivered in a very short period. Just recently, my fiancee and I returned to shop for our wedding rings. Once again, the process was enjoyable from start to finish, and the rings were ready within a week, way ahead of what they had promised. I would highly recommend Loose Diamonds for any engagement/wedding jewelry needs! read more

Beautiful, amazing, wonderful, well crafted, astonishing.....no words can explain how much I love the wedding band we ordered from this shop that he made from scratch! Elan is very helpful and professional. He even provided payment plans. I don't usually write reviews but if I do, it's either a total hit or miss! He is our jeweler since 2019 when my husband purchased my customized engagement ring. I strongly recommend this shop and Elan! Don't go elsewhere! He's the man! Thank you once again for an exceptional service! Great quality natural diamonds and stones! Until our next transaction. All the best! read more

We are so thankful that we found Elon and his team! We are very happy with our custom jewelry. We originally obtained my engagement and wedding rings from him and now have secured additional pieces. We could not be happier with the quality of diamonds. Their brilliance is stunning. They are very responsive and provide excellent advice. Looking forward to many more custom pieces! read more

My wife and I went around the jewelry district looking for a diamond. We went to a few places before talking to Elan and his family. The first thing I liked about this place was that it wasn't in one of the huge jewelry places with dozens of other jewelers. We went to one of those places and it just seemed too chaotic. 1 800 Diamonds was in an office building and had its own secure and private space. You have to buzz in to get into the space. After that we spoke to Elan who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We also got to speak to his parents who were also wonderful people. I didn't get the sense that they were trying to upsell us or pressure us to buy, which we appreciated. They explained all our options to us and even told us they could do custom work which was helpful in our case. They also work quickly if you have any custom work done which is nice. The only issue with being downtown is parking is tough. Other than that I have nothing but positive things to say about this business. I would go back if I needed a diamond again or wanted to upgrade. read more

I strongly recommend going with 1-800 Loose Diamonds for an engagement ring. Elan was very knowledgeable and accommodating in my shopping process. He helped me select the right diamond from a wide variety of options and designed the perfect setting. Thank you! read more

We had the best experience at 1800 Loose Diamonds. Elan was very patient and helpful. The process was seamless and the product was perfect. No negative things to say! read more

I was able to work with him through the design process and the ring was ready within 2 weeks!

We had an amazing experience with this company. From the time we walked in the store the staff (Abby) and other employees were very welcoming and willing to assist. And David the owner who is fantastic also interacts making sure you take your time in finding the right piece that you liked and he gives his professional opinion, no pressure at all and not rushing you into buying if your not 100% sure. Actually he is super nice and very accommodating. They have such a wide variety of nice selections and the quality of the workmanship, quality of the stones and style of each items are amazingly beautiful and the price tag are very reasonable. I am so glad that my sister told me about 1 800 Loose diamond and I was so happy how my rings turned out and the necklace I got for my wife is beautiful. I definitely going back for more and I highly recommend this jewelry store to anyone that is looking for a high quality and good workmanship jewelries. You will not be disappointed.

The diamond engagement ring--the most recognizable symbol of commitment-- unphased by time, trend or even economy. One would think, given the persistence of this steadfast tradition, diamond shopping would be a relatively transparent process. Well... not so much. Engagement ring shopping can be anxiety-inducing enough to compel the bravest of men to wait another year before popping the question. He and I had discussed THE engagement ring numerous times, and he also knew my very particular tastes so he wanted to ensure I was sigh and gush with whatever would adorn that important finger. At the time we started seriously inquiring, I was enough fortunate to have acquired a fair knowledge in diamonds. I knew what I was looking for, and which factors weighed heavier than others in order to yield the best result possible. In other words, get the most bling out of our... well, his bucks. And those were a lot bucks. LOL. We both had a very specific image of the setting and the diamond that would sit in it. The hard part would be bringing said idea into actual fruition. We had contacted 6..8...10 other jewelers who did not impress me at all. It was like searching for a physician for a newborn!. That did nothing but aggravate us, moreso me. After the inevitable frustration, we sent a message over to 1800LooseDiamonds on a whim. To my surprise, Elan responded quickly and made this daunting task easier to digest, enjoyable even. We bombarded him with constant inquiries and he patiently answered them all, even into the wee hours of the evening. We were able to locate a gorgeous GIA-certified stone, which he acquired for us at an unbelievable price. From there, he began working on our custom setting, explaining any and all aspects that would affect our final product. There was never a point at which we felt in the dark and he even sent photos mid-process. Elan promised us one thing multiple times over the course of a few weeks. He promised us a perfect ring. He didn't give us ambiguous maybe's or if then's, he promised us the ring we envisioned. The end result: a stunning 1.3 practically colorless/ flawless cushion cut stone, surrounded by nearly 70 beautiful diamonds-- just shy of a carat. A total weight of 2.20 carats to be exact. Blingy isn't even an accurate adjective. After what felt like way too long, my now fiance proposed. Since adorning my finger, not one person has survived staring at it without extending a book's worth of compliments. More importantly, even after having possessed the ring for weeks now, Elan has not ceased to check in to ensure the ring continues to make me proud. Thank you Elan and 1800 loose diamonds for the blinged out reminder that I am one lucky girl. read more

My fiance and I were shopping for her wedding band. I was asked to look up stores in downtown, 1-800 Loose Diamonds was the first to pop up, with nothing but 5 star reviews, we headed down to them. We didn't have an appointment, but that didn't matter. From the second we walked in David and Michelle made us feel like family. David spent what felt like hours pulling out every sort of ring from their display and it wasn't until the last one that we found the one! I was not expecting to buy that day, but the ring was the exact one my fiance was looking for and the price was absolutely perfect. We couldn't of been happier with our decision to come down here, I'd give 10 stars if I could. read more

Honest Diamond dealer in the heart of LA jewelry district. I purchased a gorgeous yellow diamond ring from them. Since they didn't have the size I wanted within my budget in stock, they searched the available inventory in the world and found exactly what I was looking for within my budget. They also custom created a stunning setting for me. I am so happy with them that I referred my nephew who purchased a great lab created GIA Certified diamond ring as well. read more

Elan is the best! If you want a fantastic deal with the best of quality, please go see him. Love all the work he has done for me. Great prices and beautiful quality work. Thank you Elan. Will be back soon. read more

I've been going to David and Michelle since 1991, before they moved to their current location. They are very experienced and really enjoy working with you to find what you want within your budget. I've brought my kids and other members of my family so they can find something they really love. David and Michelle really want you to be very happy with your purchase when you leave. My wife and my grownup kids all just purchased rings and bracelets just recently. They all are very pleased with the experience of working with David and Michelle. They have been around for a long time, so they must be doing something right. Hard to find good people like them this day and age. read more

I could not be happier with my choice to work with this incredible family run business. Elan went above and beyond to create a one of a kind engagement ring for my fiancée.

I spoke to a few different people, among them Ilan. He gave me straight advice and got me the best diamond in my price range for a great deal. I would highly recommend them to any friend of family. read more
