As soon as I stepped in the door Eli was very welcoming. Asked me what shape and right away he pulled the perfect diamond ! He brought my imagination to life and perfected it for my proposal. Even under the time crunch he did amazing and communicated along the way. When we went back for our wedding bands, we talked about multiple ideas for mine and hers. He matched my wife's perfectly for her engagement ring. I was so indecisive with mine, till I kind of brought out ideas on how I believe I wanted it. When he delivered it blew me away ! Love mine and my wife's rings and cannot recommend Eli enough. Thank you so much for your honesty and communication read more

Eli is awesome! I stumbled upon him while I was in the building meeting with a different company who showed me some of the worst diamonds I've ever seen and tried to convince me that they were pretty. Eli knew exactly what I meant when I asked for a beautifully symmetric diamonds and not crushed ice. We vibed right away. He has great taste and knows what a beautiful diamond looks like from an ugly one. Because let me tell you, there are a lot of ugly diamonds out there and there are many brokers who will try to convince you that they're pretty! I also really appreciated that he didn't ask what my budget was like so many other places. He focused on finding me not one, but two perfectly matched pairs of diamonds for studs. All of the other places wouldn't show me more than one pair. And you know what? I took both pairs because they were both so perfect I couldn't let them go! Other places told me it was impossible to find 2 old mine cushion cut matching diamonds but Eli did it. And he did it in like 2 days! He called me and kept me updated. When he showed me the diamonds he was super patient as I studied each one. There was never, at any point any sales pressure. He let me think over which pair I wanted without threatening that they'd be gone the next day (unlike Capri). I highly recommend him and wish I had found him before I got engaged! read more

This is one of the easiest reviews I have ever written. I bought my ring from Eli in April, proposed in June, and six months later to the day, I am ecstatic to report that my Fiancé has not stopped being mesmerized by her ring for a moment. I shopped around extensively, from South OC to Redlands, and even scoured the Jewelry district in LA. From start to finish, no one was as inviting, educational, and patient with me as a buyer. Eli showed me multiple options for center stones, partnered with me to create a custom design that we both loved, and gave me an extremely fair price on a premium product. We maintained excellent communication throughout the process, and he worked double time to deliver his product not just on time, but ahead of schedule. He is an authentic man with an honest practice in an industry that is rife with people trying to rush you to make a decision. If you trust him with your service, I know he will come through. Thank you for being such a significant part of my engagement story. I know my fiancé is excited to meet you. -Doc read more

Great experience! Perceptive to our thoughts, insightful to prospective options, and informative of the process and expectations. Quality, speed, and costs were perfectly balanced for us. The atmosphere was comfortable as well - no pressure from Eli's side, but very responsive and efficient to any questions or requests from our end. read more

Eli is incredible. When I came to him looking for help with an engagement ring, I could not have been less knowledgeable. Eli was a patient teacher who took the time to really help me understand what I wanted and then bring the vision to life. he helped with some funky last-minute customizations without any issue. The price was incredibly fair. The quality of the craftsmanship was fantastic. Most importantly, he treated my fiancé with such care and respect--he made her feel heard, valued, and totally at ease. He even fixed one of her old necklaces for free, which was so unnecessary and so sweet of him. We went back to Eli for our wedding rings as much so we could see him again as because of his excellent selection. Eli was a wonderful, fun guide--helping us through this part of our engagement and wedding planning. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Eli. read more

Very nice and helpful! We're able to get ring we asked for! Eli prepared ring within a week! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Eli's Jewlery. I never write reviews, but I had to make an exception for him. This place is a true gem in the LA jewelry district. He was patient and honest and has the best quality diamonds we've seen so far. He spent the time to thoroughly explain to us all aspects of a diamond and showed us multiple examples under the loupe. He even explained to us things other jewelers had not mentioned before. He was very dilegent in answering all our questions and listening to everything I wanted my ring to be. My ring turned out exactly how I envisioned it - if not better. When we arrived to pick up my ring, he immediately provided the GIA report and walked us through how to check the laser engraving to make sure the diamond matched the report. I couldn't be happier with my ring! Thank you Eli!! read more

This was our second time with Eli (10 years apart!) and we're, once again, extremely pleased with the quality and service. In a sea of downtown LA jewelers, Eli stands out. Make the effort to find him (not difficult). He's very kind and patient and he will make whatever you need happen. read more

Eli's Jewelry is amazing! The jewelry store is in the heart of LA diamond district in a tasteful ultra secure high rise office with beautiful views of the LA skyline. I wanted to buy diamond earrings as a gift for my daughter's medical school graduation. Eli asked me various questions and expertly chose two near identical diamonds stones. The studs were 1.0 carat each and was exactly what I hoped for. Since it was also my wedding anniversary, my husband bought diamond earrings for me as well. I am very happy with my choice of anniversary earrings, totaling 3.0 carats. It was very enjoyable to closely inspect each diamond with a loupe microscope to appreciate the clarity, color and cut. Eli provided all paperwork and diamond certification. Stop by and visit, shop their selection of sparkling jewels, loose gems or design your own jewelry with their help. Should I ever want more jewelry, I'll shop here first. Till then, my daughter and I will treasure our diamond earrings forever. Eli is a gem of a man. Thank you Eli. read more

I was recommended Eli's from a friend who got their engagement ring there. Eli and his son were immediately helpful with me and my girlfriend, helping her with the exact style and diamond she wanted. Eli was very helpful and responsive while the ring was being custom made. The value was fair on the ring and am very happy with the results. read more

After extensive research and several in-store visits to other jewelers, I found myself at Eli's. Eli was receptive, informative, and respectful of my needs. He sourced a center stone that was exactly within the parameters I was looking for and it became the focal point of a custom ring (which I had designed locally in San Diego.) If you're looking for a brilliant, high quality stone that has been vetted and is being sold at a fair price--this is the place for you. Thanks Eli, I'll be back! read more

Extremely disappointed with Eli's Jewelry. I previously purchased an engagement ring from them, and one of their main selling points at the time was a guaranteed upgrade policy: if I ever chose to upgrade the ring, they would credit me the full amount I originally paid toward the new purchase, which would need to be at least double the value of the current ring. Fast forward to now, I returned expecting them to honor that promise. Unfortunately, Eli stated that they no longer honor that policy, saying that "things have changed." To me, a business is only as good as its word. This wasn't an attempt to get something for nothing--the new ring I was planning to purchase would have still cost an additional $8,000-$10,000, which I was fully prepared to pay. Instead, I was offered only about one-third of what I originally paid for my ring. What makes this even more disappointing is that other jewelers--where I wasn't even a repeat customer--were willing to offer me over half of what I paid. Sadly, I expected much better from a business I had trusted with such an important purchase. read more

Eli's Jewelry provides exceptional service with no pressure. Eli offers thoughtful advice and is attentive to every detail. I was very specific about my ring setting, and trusting Eli's recommendation was the best decision--the setting turned out stunning. Highly recommend visiting Eli 's Jewelry! read more

Thank you Eli for your amazing service I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I walked in to his store he made me feel comfortable and never pressured. He explained everything in detail from start to finish and updated me throughout the entire process. My fiancé is absolutely in love with her ring. read more

We worked with Eli the first time to create both our (men's and women's) wedding bands, and working with Eli again to create my wife's custom, radiant eternity anniversary band was just the most spectacular thing.

I met Eli many years ago through a close friend who had been a customer for years because her father had been a customer for years. He is the best! Honest, Patient, Personable, Kind and Never Pushy! Most of his clients are repeat customers and referrals from friends, like myself. Once I met him, I knew when I found my forever person, Eli, would be my diamond man. He did not disappoint at all. I made an appointment, flew from San Jose to LA and spent over 2 hours with Eli. He walked me through the entire process. He explained all the "C's", he patiently showed me the difference between the levels of each "C" in real time. Using numerous diamond examples for side by side comparison. We went through an untold number of settings before I choose my wife's specific setting. We had discussed cut, rating and budget, so Eli had a really good idea of what I was looking for when I came to decide. That day, we started off with at least six diamonds. I was able to immediately eliminate three, then got down the last diamond. It was gorgeous, sparkled but I wasn't "in love" with it. I mulled it over, thinking, something in my gut was saying this wasn't the one. While I was doing this Eli, said, "Tim hold on, I have one more here in the safe. Let me get it out and see what you think". The instant I saw the diamond I knew that was the one for my wife's engagement ring. It completely blew the other diamond away, it leveled up for sure!!! I know this is a long review, but if you are choosing a diamond or other piece of jewelry, I want you to know the type of man Eli is and how hard he will work for you to be happy with whatever piece you choose. To him, it isn't about a number or a sale. It is about the person, their story and their happiness. I will never use another jeweler in the future. Eli is our friend and our family jeweler. I have referred friends to him and hope you will visit his shop as well!!! read more

I went shopping with a friend to various stores in the Jewelry District. Eli was the only one who invested time to get to know a little about me, the reason for shopping, and treating me as a person rather than trying to sell me an engagement ring right away. Eli definitely knows the value of building a first impression that remains with you as you compare other vendors to his level of service. Eli invested his time to explain the 4 C's, show how each C looks like by comparing a high-grade diamond to a low-grade one. In addition, Eli has many analogies that are funny and also convincing. Lastly, Eli weighed options to consider when purchasing a diamond to help you be a savvy shopper and make an informed decision on your engagement ring purchase. One example, many customers tend to focus on the grade-scale rather than how the diamond actually looks when mounted on a ring. Why spend, for example, $8k on an engagement ring with a high-grade rating when you purchase one for half the price. If you're looking at both rings and both shine similarly, who will know the difference or tell what quality it is with the naked eye? Analogies like this were things he pointed out which assisted me to make a decision on the final purchase. Overall, amazing experience, did not feel obligated to purchase on the first visit, like a car salesman. His customer-centric approach overshadowed the other vendors we visited. We'll definitely be recommending him to friends and we'll be returning to purchase our wedding bands in a couple months. read more

Eli is an honest guy who does great work. Rightly or wrongly, I'm very skeptical of people in the jewelry industry, from mom & pop shops to Tiffany's. When I received my estimate from Eli, I was a bit taken aback. After calling around, however, I learned that the exorbitant pricing was due to the currently sky high cost of gold. Eli's prices were totally fair. Still, he found a way to lower the cost for me, and ended up doing a great job. He even expedited the project after I told him I needed the jewels earlier than anticipated. In summary, great products and extraordinary service at an excellent price from a kind, honest man. You owe it to yourself to visit him for your next jewelry purchase. read more

It's been a while, but I wanted to give an honest review of the service, and product, I received. I first came into Eli's around October 2015. They were with other customers, so I browsed while waiting. Note 1: I read several complaints of this perfectly reasonable behavior. I suppose it is a matter of taste, or preference, but as a customer I prefer the attention not to be redirected every time a new customer arrives or the phone rings. Once you have their attention: you have their attention and they attend to you. This attitude is preferable to fawning over whatever new punter walks through the door. Eli waited on me. He asked why I was there (engagement ring), price range (reasonable: 1.5 - 1.9 carats, but cut an clarity and color over carats). We looked at a several in their database. He explained pros and cons, brought up a couple of examples, I chose one. He then handed me off to Raffi, his brother - the artisan who oversees the design and production. Every step of the way, Eli, Raffi, and their mama explained, educated, and gave advice. Before I went in, I checked basic prices of diamonds and settings on the online sites like Ritani and Blue Nile. Eli's prices were reasonable, by comparison, and they had, obviously, more personal service and customization. How much was it? A lot. It's an engagement ring. Right? Note 2: Let's set aside as given the typical rhetoric concerning being slaves to consumerism/conspicuous consumption, monkey hierarchies, envy, and various forms of compensation (or over-compensation). We live in the time and place we live. Diamonds and pearls and gold and platinum and skilled labor cost money. Are the prices inflated at the retail level? Probably. What isn't? The rock you place on your wife-to-be's hand says a few things: a) you care for her; b) you took the time to seek out and choose a permanent piece of jewelry that suits her; c) you have the income and/or credit that indicates your ability to provide; d) you don't have a decision making disorder. So. They let me pay over a couple of months. They made me a beautiful ring with the best stone I could afford. They were personable, helpful, and gave excellent service. I liked them all very much. Take away: This is a solid choice for your high end diamond related jewelry needs. Be a man and pick out your fiancé or wife or girlfriend's rings and jewelry on your own, but don't be a afraid to let professionals (Eli and family) give you advice. Don't be afraid to spend a significant wad of cash on the person you love. She (or he) will appreciate it, and the sex is definitely worth it. read more
