Kevin and Liz are hands down the sweetest and most honest people ever. My husband originally bought my engagement ring from here 4 years ago and we just happened to be in the area looking for wedding bands because we didn't like our original ones that we had gotten at Macy's and JCPenney (so much regret getting it from them). When we walked in, Kevin was able to remember my husband and that he had bought it 4 years ago just by seeing the ring on my hand! I saw a ring that was perfect for my engagement ring and Kevin customized it to better fit my ring and OH MY GOD. I have not been able to stop admiring my rings!! My husband was also able to find a ring that he liked which was originally all diamonds but mentioned that he wanted sapphires so Kevin customized it so that there were sapphires in the ring. Words cannot describe how happy we are. Thank you for showing so much love and care with our rings which we will cherish! read more

I love this place to Death. After my wife divorced me they bought back the diamond. Granted , I had to forgo the cost of service , but they made me feel like family read more

I've been buying custom jewelry made by Kevin for years when I've had special occasions like anniversaries. He's a master at his craft and a true artist. My wife and I have absolutely loved his hand-made pieces, especially when he hand-engraved designs on them. His prices are very fair for the quality, he and his sister are very friendly, and he's a pleasure to do business with. I will be returning to him each year for new custom jewelry. Thank you, Kevin and Elizabeth! read more

Kevin and his sister are very helpful and nice. No high pressure here. Parking is easy right next door. Great common

I actually stopped by Kevin's booth a couple years ago when I first arrived at the jewelry district. I thought he and Liz were very nice and they had a lot of affordable ring settings, although I didn't find what I was looking for. Still, they were extremely nice and I made a mental note to see them again in case I was ever in town. Now that I'm engaged I was on the hunt for a simple wedding band. Kevin wasn't shy about showing me all the types of bands he carried and I got to try on a bunch of bands! I eventually settled on a channel set princess cut band. I am a huge fan of French cut diamond bands (which is actually the predecessor of the princess cut), and the sparkle in the princess cut really complements my round brilliant. Due to my finger size Kevin explained that he'd have to custom make my ring and that it would take 10-14 days. Imagine my surprise when I got a text that my ring was made in just over 8 days. Not only that but he quickly shipped out my ring (for free via FedEx 2 day shipping) that very same day. He didn't have to but he wanted me to have my ring before I got married the following week. How thoughtful! The ring itself is gorgeous, the diamonds are bright and sparkly, and I am one happy lady. I highly recommend coming here if you want a ring that will not only be gorgeous but affordable, too! read more

Searching for an engagement ring can be overwhelming, but I had a great experience with Kevin. I was looking for an engagement ring and had an idea in mind. I wanted to get the best ring for my girlfriend and Kevin was a great help. I went to 4 other places to search for the perfect ring and none of them came close. Kevin was very friendly from the beginning and he never was pushy, trying to sell me a ring like some of the other places I went to. He was very kind and helpful bringing my idea of the perfect ring to life. Every single detail that I wanted for the ring, Kevin was able to do. I was quoted by another place I went to before Kevin, that it would take 10 weeks to have to ring ready and a $500 deposit just to get a 3D rendering of what I had in mind. Before doing so, I wanted to look for more options, and that's when I met Kevin. Within 30 minutes we pretty much had my ring in mind of how it would look. However, I told Kevin that I needed to look around more just to be sure before making a final decision. He was very understanding. I went to two other stores after and immediately went back. Within the hour Kevin showed me a 3D render that he worked on while I was gone of how my ring would look. That spoke volumes to me and is a testament to his customer service and craftsmanship. I put my down payment that day and received the ring the next week. I was stunned when I saw the final product because he brought my idea to life. His craftsmanship was by far the best and customer service is unmatched. I highly recommend this place and I will be doing more business with him in the future! read more

My soon to be fiance and I randomly stumbled into their store one day and were extremely happy with what we found. Kevin and Liz are both extremely knowledgeable, honest, friendly, and patient. We love how they didn't once pressure us to buy immediately and were willing to work with us in any way. In fact, they even encouraged us to keep shopping around to see if there was anything we liked more. Out of the plethora of jewelry stores we visited, they were the ONLY store to allow us to look at the diamonds through a diamond viewing scope instead of the handheld keychain magnifying glass. They also offered to design any ring we wanted using any material. They also have great prices! We will definitely be coming back for all of our jewelry needs and highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you again! read more

Kevin and Liz can help you create your dream ring! My now fiancé and I came to look at engagement rings and found that they have a huge range of styles, with lots of rose gold and dainty options which I was looking for. Liz is also super responsive over text and ordered a moissanite overnight for me so I could compare it with diamonds when I came in for my visit. I love that they're really laid back and let me try on dozens of rings and never made me feel bad! It's just overall a great time and takes the pressure off of picking out a ring. I decided on a 8mm (2 carat equivalent) Moissanite on plain 1.8mm rose gold band with white gold prongs. It's amazingly beautiful and have already went back to pick out our wedding rings! read more

A 5 star place, as always! I recently came by as I severely bent my engagement ring while I was aggressively shoving something in my luggage. It was visibly bent and the stone was facing up than straight on and one or two of the tiny diamonds on the band had fallen off too. I was expecting to pay a small fortune and wait around forever to get this fixed, if it could be. Since my e-ring stone reset here and Kevin did a BEAUTIFUL job, I came back here. Liz was at the counter and friendly as ever and even remembered me though it's been over a year! I'm also no big customer either, it was very sweet. She took it in and Kevin took a look and after a couple minutes said it could be fixed for the fraction of the price I was expecting and for a fraction of the time I was expecting. A couple days later, I came by and picked up and my ring was like brand new. He un-bent the stone face and replaced the diamonds and cleaned it so it was WAY better than before. I highly recommend Kevin's Gems, they're super reliable and provide incredibly high quality service. read more

Great service! Great people! Kevin and Liz are amazing! Helpful, kind, courteous, patient, friendly. My husband and I have continued to be happy with our purchases and will continue coming back for our jewelry needs. read more

This shop is a rare gem in itself. Kevin's is one of the only places downtown where you can customize your jewelry from scratch. At first, we came just for an engagement ring. The process was so fun that we started dabbling into making other pieces. We'd show Kevin and Liz different kinds of jewelry inspiration to create an original design. They have a wide selections of gems and Kevin will even create a 3D rendering of your ideas. They're smart, practical, and honest on what can and can't work. On top of it all, their prices are hard to beat. They'll generally match you if their prices aren't competitive enough. Kevin and Liz make it fun and easy. Fantastic experience! read more

We worked with Kevin to create a custom piece and it turned out perfect. We came to Kevin with photos and ideas of what we wanted and he helped take those ideas and inspiration and turn it into a piece that exceeded our expectations. He was mindful of our budget and his prices were very fair. We trusted him with the design details and it was a great choice. Kevin was great to work with - extremely friendly, caring and funny. It was a great process and we'll back for additional items in the future. Thank you, Kevin! read more

There are several booths in this location. My wife and I were looking for engagement/wedding rings and actually came here to look at another booth but they had mostly gaudy pieces (which seem to be in fashion now). We left them and stuff in Kevin's display immediately caught both our eyes. Sure, he has some gaudy pieces (gotta give the people what they want ;-) but mostly he has fantastic pieces. Which he designs. Want something made that you have had in your head? He can do that. Don't quite like a stone that he is showing you? It's the jewelry district: one call and he can get what you want. Great prices and fantastic customer service. We don't even need another jeweler, Kevin and Liz take care of it all. Heck, they've practically become like family. read more

This is an update to my previous review of Kevin's Gems. I went back initially for repair to my wife wedding ring. After talking with Kevin, I inquired about putting the 3 names of my grandkids on the back of the ring. He made a recommendation, I agreed. Here is the amazing work he completed, unfortunately I was only able capture 2 of the 3 names in this picture. He made a little video of the ring and posted it on his FB page and on Instagram. Thank you Kevin on making my ring even better. read more

I have been looking for a good jeweler that I can trust. I am so fortunate that I met Kevin and Liz while shopping on Hill Street. They have been in this business for more than 2 decades. Kevin's knowledge and expertise made my 25th Wedding Anniversary ring dream come true. Every detail that I wished for my ring was made perfect with Kevin's input. Kevin shared his great knowledge about diamonds, cut, designs, and all which made me understand more about diamonds. They are both very patient, kind and very accomodating. You can tell right away that they will take good care of you. Their customer satisfaction and happiness matters to them the most. No pressure, simply enjoyable. I have been with lots of jewelers even from the prestigious Jewelry Companies, but I have not seen anyone as accomodating as Kevin and Liz. They are very trustworthy, very knowledgeable, meticulous with their designs, friendly, and simply the best. We will come back. Thank you so much, Kevin and Liz, one very happy client here. read more

Absolutely incredible! Kevin was able to duplicate a family ring that no other jeweler could. I had contacted and visited many jewelers looking for one with the skills to duplicate my family ring for my wife. I was hoping to find a jeweler who could engrave my detailed family crest in a sapphire. My grandfather's ring was about a 100 years old and he used it to sealed documents with sealing wax in Spain. Despite my exhaustive search, I found no one that could do it nor wanted to take on the risk of carving/engraving this amount of detail in a precious stone. Some of the responses I got were, "The gem carving part, as you well suspected, is pretty much a lost art." and "This is not something we can do, this might be something you would need to talk to a lapidary stone carver. I don't know any here in Los Angeles that I can refer you to." Another jeweler claimed he could replicate the ring but once he got me to drive down to his office in the jewelry district he told me he only knows of one family in Germany that I would have to send the original ring to to duplicate it. Then he did his best to dissuade me from this and went into his sales pitch saying I should let him make in in a solid metal ring or pendant instead and for still 3 times the amount Kevin ended up making mine. Unlike the "family in Germany," Kevin was able to take several detail photos of my ring/stone and family crest. After four weeks I had my carved gem. I also redid my setting since the 14K gold was almost completely worn away in parts. We searched the internet and Kevin was able to make the exact settings based off our choices on the internet. The rings are incredible, we get tons of complements and definitely will send them to Kevin. read more

Kevin and Liz are the friendliest and most helpful jewelers we encountered in the Jewelry District! My fiance and I went to them for our engagement/wedding rings and we are so happy with how easy everything was. Kevin and Liz are very, very knowledgeable--they've been doing this for decades and their expertise shows :) We went to some jewelers that were not very up front about the quality of their products but Kevin and Liz are very honest people, they taught us a lot about how to look at diamonds, and were very honest about pricing. They are also very helpful and will work with whatever budget you have. I gave Liz our target price range and she found me a very beautiful stone. We are so happy! It was such a smooth process. Thank you Kevin and Liz :) read more

Kevin and Liz were absolutely amazing when my fiance and I were looking for wedding bands. They are not only amazing jewelers, but it's very obvious that they care for their customers deeply.

We have found our jeweler for life!! read more

I have been coming here for years and referring friends as well. Kevin and his sister Liz have helped me from finding a diamond and engagement ring, which I surprised my then soon-to-be fiancee with, to teaching me what the ins and outs of diamonds are and helping me get the best value for my budget. The result was a stunning and unique infinity ring that met my needs and my now-wife's desires. Skip to a year later, they helped us create unique wedding bands that went excellent with the engagement ring I got my wife. We went around to other jewelers and none of them gave us the education, creativity and the care that Kevin and Liz gave us. Just recently, they helped us get a beautiful diamond stud pendant and necklace for my wife right in time for her first Mother's Day. Will definitely be back for our 5th year anniversary presents. read more

I came here in search for an engagement ring. They sat down with me and explained to me diamond 101 from the clarity to the cut. They explained a lot of things based on their experiences on what diamond cut is most preferred and help me and my fiancé pick out an amazing ring. We checked out other places in the jewelry district and it felt like everyone we talked to wanted to make a buck without explaining what gives value to each diamond like Kevin and Liz. Highly recommended! read more

I wandered in to Kevin's Gems after finishing up a 30 minute limit private appointment at a different jewelry store. I had picked a ring during that appointment that I "liked" and was pretty but didn't particularly move me. A diamond band really caught my eye at Kevin's. I asked to see it and it didn't look perfect on me but he showed me one that would be more suitable for my hand and finger size. I was immediately in LOVE!! Even though I had picked a traditional single engagement ring earlier and a plain band I knew that I really liked a stackable look that I had seen recently. I described it to Kevin and immediately he and his sister helped me find the perfect set! 3 different rings that are stackable and absolutely perfect for me! Once we all knew what I truly wanted after searching pictures on google together, they made it happen! Showing me different settings and amazingly beautiful, sparkly loose diamonds in those different settings. I am both picky AND indecisive and that was perfectly fine with the owners, they gave me their undivided attention for 2 HOURS STRAIGHT!!! The loose diamonds truly were beautiful. Kevin let me look at them through his special scope, explaining all he different grades and what each meant. I was truly appreciative and impressed. Once I finally picked the GIA Certified loose diamond I wanted for my main ring, he had me look at the serial # on it and made sure I tracked it through the entire process. Their caring attitude, fun personalities and true professionalism made the experience exactly what I thought it should be. They completely catered to me the entire time and I couldn't be happier and more in love with my ring set! I just can't stop looking at it! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. read more

I was introduced to Kevin's Gem's through a good friend who had purchased her wedding bands with them. For the longest time, my friend kept telling me about her jeweler, but I never really had a reason to purchase anything. When I got pregnant, I knew that I wanted a specific band as my push present. My friend and I went to Kevin's Gem. I first met Liz, whose patient and a wonderful listener. I showed her what I wanted, tried on a few things, but wasn't too set on one design. I showed her a few of the designs that I wanted and she immediately came back with a few of the bands that looked similar to my taste. She pulled Kevin over and said that they could make the design that I wanted, but it would look a more like the current ones that I was wearing. I was sold. Two weeks later, I get a call from Liz saying that my ring is ready. She sends me a picture and I absolutely fall in love with it. Fast forward 2 weeks later, I find out the sex of my baby. It wasn't the sex that I was wishing for, but I'm happy that it's healthy. I call Kevin up and ask for a similar matching band to my wedding and a resizing of my wedding band. I live in Seattle, so Kevin told me to ship my wedding band over and he'd have both rings ready in a few weeks' time. Mind you, sending jewelry over is nerve wrecking already as it is, but Kevin reassured me that everything would be fine. Two weeks later, I get a call from Liz saying that my bands are ready and will be sent over. I received my shipment and was very pleased with both Kevin and Liz's communication, professionalism and attention to detail with my rings. I love my new bands and my experience. I just wish I had I found Kevin's Gem's sooner! PS Kevin's Gem's is reasonably priced. I told them my budget and they worked with me on the size of the jewelry and cost of the additional wedding band. They are amazing!!! read more

My fiancé and I came across Kevin's Gems while browsing engagement rings at the jewelry district. Kevin was quick to help us, I probably tried on almost all of the rings in his case and he was extremely patient with me but I didn't see what I had in mind and that's when he offered to design the ring I wanted! I gave him all of the specifics of what I was looking for and a few days later I get an email with pictures of the digital version of my ring! I'm so pleased with the way it turned out, he did an amazing job!! I highly recommend Kevin's Gems and will definitely be using them as our jeweler in the future! read more
