Attentive service, great quality and fair prices. I recommend them to anyone looking for a meaningful piece of jewelry.

My favorite thing about Lara's Jewelry, is how kind and helpful they are regardless of budget. They want to help you find the best within your budget without judgment. I appreciate that so much. They work with every budget. My sister and her fiancé got her engagement ring here and she has gotten so many compliments. The quality of the diamonds is stupendous. I've purchased small gifts for friends, family and myself. I have gotten compliments on my micropave bands. The quality is unmatched. Support family owned businesses and always try to pay cash if possible. read more

Fairly incompetent jewelers. Unable to perform even the most basic services one might naively expect from a professional shop. There's a clear lack of both skill and customer service, a great combination if you're looking to leave disappointed. Simple requests somehow turn into impossible tasks, and customers are met with the kind of indifference you'd think was part of the business model. read more

Can't say how happy I am that I was able to find the perfect engagment ring and wedding band. I'm so incrediby happy with Roger and Georgie. They were so professional and are not pushy. They made sure I was happy with my purchase and my wife could not be happier. I highly recommend them to any body shopping for jewelry. They offer the best quality and will have what you are looking for. read more

After meeting with three different jewelers, the first being the one where my husband bought my ring (14 karats) and being told my platinum ring could not be fixed and that it would cost a ridiculous amount to rebuild it, and being told I will lose all the small diamonds in the ring, I decided to visit Lara's, a jeweler recommended by family members who had been going there for years. To say I'm pleased is an understatement. Roger is one of the most knowledgable and kind jewelers I've ever dealt with. For nearly half the price of what had been quoted, he rebuilt my ring using my 2.5 karat diamond and made it even more beautiful than my original. He also saved all of my small diamonds and gave them back to me with the idea that I could use them in another ring, if I choose. He is just fantastic and I would recommend Lara's to anyone. I will only be using this jeweler for all future needs. Simply the best out there. read more

We have purchased a custom made wedding set from Lara's Jewelry about eight years ago to celebrate our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and were beyond pleased with George and Noel's fabulous customer service. Not only did they allow us into their business but we feel like they allowed us into their family. Never had I felt so comfortable and able to express my wishes and experience the delight in being able to see the end result even better than I'd ever imagined. Last week again I had the pleasure of again contacting Lara's this time it was Roger who helped me, and again the comfort and ease in speaking to him reminded me of his wonderful mom. Again, we had a custom piece we wanted and as my daughter said "if Lara's makes it, I know it will be gorgeous". This time it was a beautiful ring with my daughter's birth stone which is an aqua marine, which we wanted to give her for her twenty first birthday, when we received the ring last Friday my daughter could not stop smiling. So again, I wholeheartedly recommend Lara's Jewelry to you, any family member you speak to whether it's Noel, George or Roger, you will not be disappointed. read more

Best kept secret of LA. Lara's is AMAZING. My engagement ring is stunning and I get so many compliments. Went right back to Roger for our wedding bands! read more

A very very good friend from Glendora recommended Lara's to me and gave us Nawals phone number. I'd been looking for and engagement ring because I was going to be proposing soon to my girlfriend at the time. Without hesitation my friend told me to stop what I was doing and get down to Lara's jewelry in downtown Los Angeles. One of the best moves of this entire wedding for sure. I got there and her and her son Roger were very friendly polite and glad to have me in their store with an amazing view. She helped me get decide on a style and was patient with me. This was a big deal and I couldn't mess this up. Nasal has years and years of experience and know her stuff. She made me feel at home and we Finally picked something out. The fear in Jewelery purchasing is your getting ripped off. She gave me a great deal and made me feel special. After I proposed I brought my fiancé back so we can size the rings properly, make any adjustments and then also add a wedding band and to get a wedding ring for myself before the big day. Again she was just as amazing as the first time and very friendly and polite and accommodating. I would highly suggest this place and I'd go back again when in need of buying my wife some earrings or something. The post is long overdue and well deserved. From the happy newly weds from Glendora. Thanks from Mike & Autumn read more

I love going in to Lara! I always find something I want! Rodger is fabulous, honest and kind. We make it a goal to make it there at least a couple times a year. You can't possibly beat their quality and prices. read more

Just wanted to say Lara's Jewelry did a FANTASTIC job!! I rarely take the time from my busy schedule to write up a Yelp review but this one was well deserved. Lara's Jewelry was highly recommended to me by a friend. I took the long drive to DTLA and it was well worth the drive. I was greeted by the owner Roger, immediately I felt I was in good hands. He was very personable and professional. I expressed to Roger that I had sentimental value in a pair of white gold diamond earrings I owned but was very sad when I lost one, I took the one earring into Lara's Jewelry to see if they can duplicate it. Roger took a look at the earring and gave me the option of making it into a ring. I didn't think it was possible but I agreed and I have no regrets, it's beautiful. Thank you Roger and Lara's Jewelry for a great outcome, I highly recommend this place. read more

I am so extremely happy with my most recent purchase here. Roger was very kind, genuine, and helpful. He went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of. His prices are very fair and he has great quality jewelry. He was very welcoming and I will definitely be coming back to him in the future. If you're looking for diamonds, Roger is the guy to go to! read more

This is the BEST place in town if you're looking to buy jewelry! My husband and I have been exclusively coming here since 2015 and would NEVER go anywhere else! The environment is friendly and you will feel 100% taken care of and not feel taken advantage of or feel like you got price gouged. If you're looking for the best diamonds in town and want to make sure you get the BEST quality stones(or anything else) your money can buy then stop right here and go no further! Roger is the only one I've worked with. I'm a little ocd so I like consistently, but anyone there is just as friendly and helpful. After coming here I will NEVER go to a different jewelry store EVER! Just having piece of mind knowing I purchased something, well a few things now, and got an honest, fair price will always keep me coming back. Oh, sidenote, I have never felt rushed or like a number. I've always been treated with kindness and never felt like a stranger who just walked in off the street. So if you're ready to buy a lifelong purchase or just browsing for the future go no further! The ONE downside about this review is that I could only give 5 stars instead of 10!! read more

Roger created my mother's ring in my profile picture (2010) which I absolutely love. Over 17 years ago my dear friend referred me to Lara's and I feel so fortunate to have found them in the sea of Jewelers downtown. They are a family business and are all so kind. Recently, on a visit to upgrade my wedding ring diamond, Roger suggested a halo around my existing diamond. It cost a fraction of a diamond upgrade and I kept my original diamond. The ring (pic attached) is the most beautiful my eyes have ever seen. What an upgrade! I am completely blown away ... I love love love love it - Roger is a a true artist. I trust there creative expertise and their work is priceless! Thank you for all my beautiful pieces! I would give them 20 stars! read more

Lara's Jewelry - The picture does not capture how beautiful my ring is - Jewelry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The selection is beautiful. I think they have very good taste. I was able to find my perfect ring and diamond here. The prices are very reasonable compared with the other places in the building. Even though I didn't purchased a very high priced diamond ring, they were so helpful. It is also noted that I have shopped around many times over around that area and their offer could not be beat. read more

I love Tippe. She's the best thing that has ever happened to me. That's why I'm going to marry her. So when I wanted to get an engagement ring, we first went to some retail place in an outdoor mall. I felt very adult and suburbanite at the same time. Their ring was very expensive. So I did what every guy should... I asked my married friend for advice on a ring and he brought me to Lara's Jewelry. Coming from a family of jewelers, the owner Roger is going to take good care of you. They're right smack dab in the middle of the downtown jewelry district across the street from Pershing Square. We came in with a picture of a ring from a brochure of another retail place. That's all Roger needed. We wanted to change the ring a little bit and make it our own. Of course, with Tippe's ring size. No problem. Done. Roger loaded the ring's dimensions and shape and all into a computer program and then he prints a 3-D replica of the ring to see how it will look. Roger made some modifications and the ring came out exactly how we wanted it to look. Then he sold us a diamond that had a very good quality for a very reasonable price. All said and done, the ring came out exactly how we wanted and it was several thousands of dollars cheaper than the retail place in the mall. You won't believe how much it sparkles on Tippe's finger. You'd be a fool not to come to Lara's Jewelry and compare prices and value. read more

I heard of this store from a close family friend who buys all their jewelry from there. Right as i entered the store i was greeted by 2 gentlemen. Right away they asked if i needed help. I dont have much experience with diamonds so i had a lot of questions to ask. I could tell right away these guys knew what they were talking about. I gave them my budget and told them what i was looking for. The got me the best piece for my budget. They were very patient and even told me to shop around and come back when im comfortable. I was back with in a few hours and sealed the deal. Their knowledge and experience saved me time and a lot of money. Thanks a million roger and george. I will definitely be back. read more

I'D GIVE LARA'S JEWELRY 10 STARS IF I COULD! I went downtown with a couple of female friends to shop around for an engagement ring. We visited a few jewelers but found the most beautiful diamonds at Lara's. Lara's son, Roger was not only helpful and professional, but a genuinely nice guy that seemed to have my best interest at heart. After showing him a few pictures of the style of ring I thought my girlfriend would like, Roger provided me with a selection that couldn't be beat anywhere else. My now fiance couldn't be happier with my choice. Thank you Roger for making our engagement that much more special! read more

After months of searching for the perfect ring, going from store to store and finding the same designs, my girlfriend finally found the ring of her dreams. It was love at first sight for her and let me tell you, she has good taste. It's a beautiful ring that's G.I.A certified, even better, at an amazing price. Roger is the man. read more

My first visit to Lara's Jewelry was for an engagement ring. They had a beautiful selection of diamonds, they listened to my needs and they did everything possible to create a ring that exceeded my expectations. I have wonderful memories of the purchase and the look on my wife's face when she received it. This experience has kept me coming back for the last 11 years. read more

I first met Roger almost 3 yrs ago when I wanted a specific vintage ring for my 30th wedding anniversary. Unbelievably Roger had an authentic one from an estate that was 99% exactly what I wanted for a reasonable price! I loved his friendly, candid and honest personality. Recently all my fine jewelry was stolen including my wedding ring:( I remembered Roger being trustworthy so I immediately called him with the specs of my original diamond and within 2 days he offered me 3 better options from overseas to choose from. I really appreciate and admire his professionalism and patience as I made my decision. He answered all my questions, sent me videos of the diamonds and reassured me of his knowledge and expertise. Never once did he suggest one stone over the other. I finally chose the IF, F color diamond replacement stone within my budget! He set it in a beautiful solitaire setting, it's perfect! It was only 14 days from the day of my first phone call to picking up my beautiful ring! I will continue to refer everyone I know to Lara's Jewelry!! read more

I have been a customer for five years and just found out that Lara's was on yelp. I highly recommend roger at Lara's jewelry . We have been very happy with their work and prices. Customer service has been excellent and the diamond quality is amazing. Todd read more

I rarely do reviews, but this experience had to be shared. A friend and long-term customer of Lara's recommended that I visit the showroom and talk to Roger. My girlfriend and I had already been to several retail jewelers and we actually found some engagement rings/wedding bands that we liked, but boy were they expensive! So I went to visit Roger on my own first, then brought my girlfriend with me for a second visit, which turned into one more visit before we ordered a set of custom rings. Every step of the way, Roger was super engaging, professional, and helpful, and just a really good guy. He found a loose center stone for us in India immediately, and actually bought it without any obligation on our part. Of course, we ended up using that diamond in the engagement ring; the rings he made are absolutely stunning! And Georgie, Roger's brother, actually delivered the finished rings to us, even though we're about an hour from their store. The service, the quality, and the price at this place are unmatched; I would recommend Lara's to anyone looking for any kind of jewelry! read more

This review is LONG overdue! My husband has been a faithful customer to Lara's for a long time and I can tell you why. Lara and her son Roger are extremely personable, kind, knowledgable, and professional. They treat you like family and they honestly give you the best diamonds for the most reasonable cost. We won't go anywhere else to buy jewelry and we always recommend Lara's to all our family and friends. I simply cannot tell you enough about how amazing Lara's Jewelry is! If they don't have the diamond you are looking for, they will find it! Not only that, Roger can make anything! It is always a treat to come here!! I can't wait to come back for more beautiful bling!! read more

Roger was very helpful..i rove 3 hours to see him with no regreats..got the ring a little big and they resized it in less than an hour.

I have finally found "my" jeweler. Lara's does a fantastic job at creating custom, quality pieces at competitive prices. They made my engagement and wedding ring as well as the diamond drop earrings I wore on my wedding day and executed all of the above to perfection. I will continue to go to them until I am old and grey, for many anniversaries to come. They are the true hidden gem, in every sense. read more

A friend of mine recommended this jewelry store in downtown LA. Although, it's is really far from where I live in Simi Valley I took a chance. For one, the store is beautiful, and the people who own it make you feel like family the second you walk in. I picked out my engagement ring and encourage the salesperson to not let my fiancé leave without this ring in his pocket. He didn't! Years later we came back to pick out wedding bands and although it was ten years later made me feel like they remembered me. We picked out beautiful bands and I wanted mine attached to my engagement ring so after three weeks drove down to pick it up and it was so beautiful I cried! Thank you guys so much!!!! read more

My fiancé bought my engagement ring and wedding band here. They have been wonderful to deal with and are very reasonable with their prices. It is a family owned business and they treat their clients like family. We will be referring friends to Lara's if they are in the market for a special piece of jewelry. read more

This place couldn't have been any better! This place is family owned and ran. My husband and I were interested in upgrading my ring for our anniversary and we came across this place.

After stopping at this place first everything looked so cheap and all the same. We came back. The Quality you were getting was definitely better. You felt absolutely no pressure what's so ever.

Roger is the nicest friendliest salesperson ever. He went above and beyond to make our purchase perfect. We decided at the last minute to have my fiancés ring engraved which he made happen on the day we picked it up. He even took $300 off our original agreement due to the ring not costing as much as predicted to make. He fixed my fiancés necklace for free. The ring was done on time and we were very happy with the results. I have to give an A+ ... very honest professional jeweler read more

Best experience possible! Roger was so incredible with helping me get the perfect ring for my fiancé. He made the experience easy and painless and the quality of the ring itself is unlike anything we have ever seen! Cannot recommend this place enough! Plus the turn around time was awesome as well! read more

I was looking for an engagement ring and I had an idea of what I wanted. I went in. As a novice the experience could've been intimidating but everyone at Lara's was extremely helpful. I found a design I wanted online and they made it exactly as requested. The ring turned out beautifully. They also helped with setting the stone(I had a diamond), getting it polished and re-sized all at no extra charge. The diamond district is tough to navigate. Hundreds of places to go. I would recommend Lara's to everyone. Great selection, skilled/helpful staff and good prices to boot. read more
