I was impressed by the wide selection and the quality of pieces available. Mike offered advice on which pieces would suit us better. We decided on two stunning rings and a beautiful bracelet. The team at Kona Diamond went above and beyond to ensure that my shopping experience was seamless and enjoyable. We even got a nice pouch and box to store them in. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality, beautiful jewelry and an unmatched shopping experience. I am tempted to go back before our trip ends!

Randi is amazing!! She was so helpful and kind when I was picking out my toe ring. I cannot say the…read moresame about the owner of the store, Kitty. She is pushy and rude when talking to customers. I went back a few days later after taking my toe ring off to go snorkeling, to get it put back on my toe. The owner was the only one there to help me and she told me that her assistant (Randi) had sized me wrong and "there's no f*cking way this ring fits on your toe, your toes are swollen like 10x their normal size, you should've never taken it off...". I was sitting in the chair not knowing what to say. As someone in the jewelry/sales business myself, that is not how you talk to customers (who spend hundreds of dollars on a nice gold ring). The toe ring was not too small as I got it back on by myself after I went home that day. I was so frustrated that she spoke to me as if I was the dumbest person on earth. Anyway, go see Randi if you want to browse this store!

When i was recently there, I heard three ladies ooing and ahing over several gorgeous gold pendants.

When you are in Kona, make the trip down the road a little way to tell Robert hello, and let him great you in the Aloha way.

Without a doubt the absolutely worst and rudest jewelry store I have ever been in!…read more My wife and I went shopping for a vacation remembrance for her as well as some gifts for friends back home and had the misfortune of entering Manta Jewelry in the Kona Inn Shopping Center. As we browsed the shops offerings it was impossible to ignore the sales lady as she spoke to a customer paying for her purchase and very loudly proclaiming how much she HATED the United States. With no regrets whatsoever she added that she wished she could charge her MORE for her purchase because she was American. We were dumbfounded even more by the fact that this was Veteran's Day weekend. I suggested to my wife that we leave immediately as I had no intention of doing any sort of business with her, to which she rudely, snidely, and apparently gleefully replied with a lilting "Goodbye." The Kona Inn Shopping Village is a fairly small group of shops but we did find another jewelry shop on the other side of the plaza which actually had even better offerings and an extremely helpful and friendly salesperson. If you're American shop Manta at your own risk.

Not only that, they shipped it to me in California, because I was unable to stop by the store to get it before my flight back. If you're in the Kona area, J Guires is a must-visit!
