I live in Danville, Indiana, and found Diamond Zone, Inc on the Internet. I was searching for someone who could recreate my art deco vintage engagement ring. My husband had purchased my wedding rings from a private party. This was an antique platinum setting. It was over 100 years old. I had taken it to J L Johnson in Greenwood, Indiana, because I was wanting the prongs reinforced/replaced. and the band was very weak due to wear. I was told by JL Johnson it could not be repaired. This was not true. The truth was, that particular Jewelry store does not have the knowledge to repair platinum. They reset my ring in a setting and was not anything like I had agreed upon, and the owner would not do anything to make this right. I will never go back there. Thankfully, I found Ilya Kunin, of the Diamond Zone, Inc. Not only was he able to recreate my ring. In fact, it greatly exceeded my expectations. When I received my ring from Ilya, I cried. It was a very emotional experience for me. The previous Jeweler had mangled my original setting to an unrecognizable state. It was simply horrid. Ilya was very patient and understanding. He asked very specific questions, offered very options, and was kind and considerate throughout the entire process. I cannot stop looking at my ring. I am so grateful to him. And not only did he give me back the most important piece of jewelry that I will ever own, he actually gave me a generous credit for awful setting that JL Johnson. made. I couldn't believe it. I am forever grateful to Ilya. I didn't think anyone would be able to recreate my ring---and he did. In fact, I think it's even more beautiful than the original ring. Ilya comes from Generations of Jewelers. And they are one of the few Jewelers who repairs platinum. Vintage jewelry happens to be one of of their passions. In fact, other Jewelers buy settings created by Diamond Zone, Inc. Just tell Ilya what you want, and he can make it happen. I will never go anywhere else. i traveled over 6 hours to meet him. I wasn't handing over my ring to just anyone...and I thank God I did. It truly was the very best thing I could have done. He will be family's Jeweler for Life. read more

Diamond Zone is absolutely awful to work with. My fiance and I visited the store in summer of 2010, and decided this was the place for us because of their vintage collection and wholesale prices. How wrong we were. We purchased a ring through their website in March 2011. It is now July 2011, 3 1/2 months later - and I still do not have the ring. We were so excited to get engaged, and chose a setting and asked for a gemstone as the center stone, and paid for both. Ilya was not willing to do the work necessary to find the center stone we paid him for, and we waited for 6 weeks while he hemmed and hawed and avoided fulfilling the order. Then Ilya FINALLY sent it without resizing the ring - wasting 6 weeks of time. It was a 6.5, I wear a 4.5 and was forced to put yarn, YARN on my engagement ring for a week. I brought it to a local jeweler to size it, and was told the ring was in very bad shape and it would cost at least $400 to reset the stones on the band and reprong the ring after the sizing. That is more than 3/4 the cost of the whole ring!! Ilya didn't believe us when we told him, and thought it was just a jeweler looking to make money. But, the local jeweler was right, we returned it to them, and now DiamondZone has had the ring for 2 months. We have to contact Ilya multiple times to get any response just to learn that they can't fix it properly, prongs are broken, stones are falling out - and yet they expect me to accept this faulty ring eventually. This has been a total nightmare. An engagement ring is very important, and they have no respect for our time or money. DiamondZone sold us a defective product, and is holding it and our money hostage. I will NEVER EVER buy anything from them again. If this is not resolved soon, I will consider suing them. read more

In what seemed to be a neverending search to find a jeweler that could custom make the ring we were looking for, we came across Diamond Zone on eBay. We contacted Ilya and provided him with the specifications for the ring we wanted. My wife really loved a Tacori style ring , but we just couldn't justify spending $8000.00 for the setting without the main diamond. Diamond Zone created an absolutely amazing replica of this ring for a fraction of the price. We did the entire transaction online and without actually even meeting in person. Ilya answered all queries in a timely manner and was extremely knowledgeable on the entire build process of our ring. We received a CAD drawing of the ring we wanted, and proceeded from there. After a few weeks the ring was complete and Ilya sent us photos for our final approval. We were blown away by how accurate the ring came out. When we actually received the ring we were blown away again , because the ring looked even better than the photos Ilya sent. Overall the transaction was outstanding. This is a shop you can trust. ( we actually mailed Diamond Zone $6300.00 worth of diamonds to be set in the ring ) My wife's friends are amazed at this ring !! I would highly recommend Diamond Zone to anyone that wants incredible workmanship for great prices. Patrick read more

The DIAMOND ZONE is FABULOUS! I love antique jewelry and antique reproductions and several of their rings caught my eye online. I wanted to know more about their jewelry and within a few minutes I received a very nice response from Ilya and minutes later I bought an absolutely stunning 1920s Art Deco-style amethyst silver filigree ring. The craftsmanship is simply EXQUISITE! I immediately bought four more rings, all different. I highly recommend them. Their antique reproductions are crafted from original antique molds and they also have a large selection of original antique jewelry at excellent prices. They also offer custom designs which I'm also considering. I was absolutely moonstruck by the Diamond Zone and the very unique European-style designs. You won't be disappointed! When you contact Ilya, you'll feel like you are conversing with a long-time friend! this has been a very refeshing experience for me and want to pass the word to others! read more

A wonderful experience from beginning to end. I was looking to reset my wedding set, due to the fact that it no longer fit, and I didn't wear it. I wear an anniversary band on my left hand, so I was looking to wear the ring on my right hand - I wanted something unusual. Diamond Zone has beautiful jewelry and many unusual and lovely mounts to choose from. I live in Toledo, Ohio, so I chose a setting I liked online. I then worked with Luis to ship my wedding set to him. He gave me a reasonable price for the gold on my existing set, and reset and sized my ring. I received a picture of the ring to approve, and then it was shipped immediately - I actually received it a day early. I love it, and I couldn't be happier. I am so glad I took a chance with Diamond Zone. I definitely was not disappointed. read more

Diamond Zone have just made my bespoke engagement ring. And it's absolutely gorgeous. After seeing a ring I really liked on their online store, they adapted to exactly how I wanted it and made a new one from scratch, including a new stone type and setting. Ilya was very patient with all my questions - I had a lot, mostly as it's quite a daunting prospect of having such a special ring made for you and you won't get to see it until it arrives at your door (and I live in London, UK). He made sure it looked exactly as I asked, emailed photos of stones for me to pick from, and sent me regular emails and photos of how my ring was progressing. So I would definitely recommend using Diamond Zone, I have complete confidence in their work and their customer service. read more

Ilya was extremely helpful in making my 10 year anniversary special. I contacted her online as I live in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada and she was great in helping my thru the process of getting my custom ring made. Not only did she exceed my expectation with the finished product but upgraded the diamond count for the same amoount of money I had budgeted for. I then recieved the ring and surprised my wife on our anniversary and she was just shocked that I could get the ring custom made and have it look so much like the origna but even better. I cannot thank the diamond zone staff for making this special day all the better with the perfect ring I highly recommend the diamond zone they will work within your budget.

Ilya is simply the best. He and his team have made three custom rings for me so far from loose stones I purchased elsewhere, and everything- from the design process to the end result- was fantastic. His eye for design is flawless, and he can create anything you can envision. And at extremely reasonable prices, too! He is as patient as can be and will work very closely with you to achieve a perfect, unique piece. I personally love having one-of-a-kind rings that I helped design and that reflect my taste and style. Prices are up front and exact. I've just sent him two more stones and I can't wait to see what we design together. Honest, trustworthy, extremely talented, and reasonably priced. I could not recommend him more highly. read more

Ilya is amazing! I had him custom make an eternity wedding ring for me last October. He is an excellent communicator, detailed in his work, incredibly honest and hard working. After 7 months, I had an issue with a stone and Ilya was right on it, taking care of fixing everything, including polishing and rhodium of the ring! He communicated through the entire process and promptly fex-ex the ring back to me. Check out the Diamond Zone website, and especially look at the guarantee. Ilya stands behind all his work with integrity, honesty and proves he has a superior reputation in the jewelry business. I am nothing short of impressed by his work ethic and integrity. Thank you Ilya for helping us make our ring exquisite! read more

This is our second ring by Ilya, and WOW,,,,once again, he outdid himself!! This ring is ABSOLUTELY STUNNNNING, and excactly what I wanted. He listened to my explanation of how I wanted the ring done, asked me what my concerns were, asked important questions and delivered. The quality of the diamonds are white in colour, and clear. The price was a fraction of what other jewellers were quoting. He is very knowledgeable, and was a pleasure to deal with. The ring was completed in a very timely matter, and he used 3 day delivery service. I can't say enough about how pleased I was with the finished product...I mean the ring is so gorgeous that everybody is commenting on what a beautiful ring I have, thanks to Ilya. read more

I just had a wonderful *international* experience with Diamond Zone! Communication and customer service was stellar, and the ring is beautiful- EXACTLY as advertised. I just took it to my local jeweler and was told I got a very quality ring with quality stones at a VERY good price (*locally I would have paid at least DOUBLE for a similar ring). Staff of Diamond Zone was VERY friendly and professional...and, actually went BEYOND the call of duty to make sure I was happy with my purchase.Thank you, Diamond Zone. Based on my experience, I will definitely shop with you again! read more

Luis Howe from Diamond Zone helped me to create a setting that perfectly compliments my OMC. He was kind and patient as we went back and forth over the details. I received several CAD's and he made sure they were changed to my specifications. After my final approval, the setting was quickly made and I mailed my diamond to Luis Howe. He even sent me photos of my diamond in its new home! The setting is well constructed and sturdy for my busy hands. I just wish I could upload a picture for you all... read more

I just love Diamond Zone jewelry! I have purchased several pieces from them & they are exactly as described & were an excellent value! Ilya is incredibly knowledgeable, honest & customer friendly! I really honestly mean it when I say that Diamond Zone is my favorite place to shop for jewelry which is as often as I can since I am a collector of fine vintage pieces. I plan on being a customer for life with them & I don't say that very often. :o) Amanda Penn read more

I ordered one of Ilya's settings for a sapphire I had. From the start, communication was great. There were several issues with the fit of the stone, but Ilya worked diligently to make the modifications so that my ring would be perfect, and kept me in the loop. It arrived yesterday, and it took my breath away. I can hardly believe that such a beautifully made piece of jewelry was so affordable. read more

I first learned about Diamond Zone on Ebay, but quickly communicated with Ilya over email and the phone. He was wonderful, and gave me detailed information on the vintage ring I wanted to purchase. He was responsive, accomodating, and really really knowedgeable. My ring arrived in California, and it is gorgeous! I highly recommend. :) You will not be dissapointed. B read more

I recently purchased diamond stud earrings from Lebelle. Not only were the diamonds exactly as described but their beauty exceeded all expectations. Ilya was very helpful and honest. He went out of his way to expedite putting the settings on the diamonds and sending it overnight delivery. We will certainly patronize their business in the future. read more
