They also sourced our gorgeous antique diamond, and I'm absolutely obsessed with her. Honestly, there's nowhere better than Artisan LA Jewelry.

We picked out a GIA-certified 2-carat diamond and he designed the band to fit my budget. To be 100% honest, it came out even better than I expected. We also bought the wedding band from him, and he helped us pick the perfect match. The combo of the engagement ring and band is absolutely stunning, and I can't count how many compliments my wife gets on it. Fast forward to recently: a small diamond fell off the side of the engagement ring. My wife reached out to James to see if he could repair it. Without hesitation, he told us to come on down. Even though we didn't have the missing diamond, James replaced it -- completely free of charge -- and did it with a smile on his face. James and his wife are some of the most humble, genuine people you'll ever meet. He takes the time to educate you about the product, never rushes, never pushes, and always treats you like family. If you're reading this, stop searching -- James is your guy.

I kept admiring a beautiful evil eye pendant necklace in the window and finally decided to go inside. I had the pleasure of working with Vito, who was incredibly helpful. I wanted the necklace on a 22-inch chain instead of the standard 18-inch chain, and he was able to customize it and have it ready the very same day. He even left it at the front desk for me to pick up, which made the whole process so convenient. Vito also creates custom jewelry, and I'm already looking forward to having him make me a 14-karat gold necklace with an evil eye pendant in the future. I'll definitely be returning to Vito and Arka Designs for all of my jewelry needs. Highly recommend!

When we arrived, Vito had several stones available, both natural and lab, as well as many settings. He took the time to show us the stones and discuss the difference between the lab and natural. He asked several questions about how I wanted the stone to sit, helping me decide which basket worked best. He also told me that sometimes having stones go too far down the side of the ring irritates people's fingers, which is something I hadn't thought of and I appreciated him pointing out. I was very, very happy with the final ring. When I picked up the emerald ring, I dropped off a ruby ring that was missing a stone. This ring belonged to my mother-in-law and was quite old. He managed to find a stone that fits perfectly. I can't even tell which stone was replaced. He also buffed up the ring, making it look great. Thank you, Arka Designs!

The first time we didn't bring my jade and other items, just chat with Mr. David and found out that he is a very knowledgeable and experienced master with Jade, diamond and other gemstones with so many years hands on experiences. So I made my decision to bring my jade, diamond and ruby to him the next visit. Mr. David is very professional and knowledgeable. He explains every item's details from the look to the test results from his professional examination equipment. Also showed us the similar item both in fake and real in his own collections to teach us the difference between the fake one and nature stone. For my real diamond, he counted the whole one and melees very carefully and gave the most precise appraise price, and also the current retail price. He also gave me the advice on not to change the diamond ring's base and the reason behind this, and help us to clean the item with the professional tool. Mr. David is a very fun person to chat as well, it's really fascinating to hear some of the stories from the master who has been trough a lot. We are glad to find the Pro like Mr. David in this field in LA area with all the strong knowledge and vivd personality. We will definitely visit Mr. David's laboratory again to lean more and enjoy this atmosphere surrounded by these beautiful stones and interesting history.

The Lim's Jewelry Co was an absolute amazing experience…read more They were the second store we encountered when we initially entered the jewelry district in LA. They made such a great first impression from us that we ended up giving them our business. Let me first preface that this area is filled with a lot of interesting characters. We were judged by another jewelry because of the way we were dressed and that left a sour taste in our mouth. A lot of the shops are pushy, often looking for just a sale rather than building that potential lifetime connection. We only have positive things to say about the Lim's Jewelry Co. Ronald, the son was so kind, patient and lenient - the kind of person that makes you feel more of a friend than just another walking check. We initially left his booth at the beginning because we wanted to see what caught our eyes, our intent from the start was to buy something that day. Ronald and his family left such a great impression on us that we will now strictly source jewelry and watches from him and his family moving forward. We fiancé bought me a beautiful white gold necklace. (Pictured). We ended up buying a few items. We are very happy with not only each piece, but also the customer service we were provided. A great experience. Not pushy. High quality pieces. A lot of items in difference price ranges, so there's variety! They definitely earned a lifetime customer.
