Both my engagement ring and wedding band was purchased from Platina over 5 years ago. Steve is responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. Quality of his work is superb! The cherry on top is the after service. Last week, my ring got bent (accident on my part) and I contacted Steve and set up an appointment. He was able to get it fixed for me that day! It came polished and looks brand new. Highly recommend Platina Design! read more

Steve is not only the most honest person in the jewelry district, but he's also personable, caring, and trustworthy. I visited four different sellers in the same mart, and Steve stood out as the most knowledgeable, accurate, and helpful. Amid the stress of last-minute wedding planning, Steve made my ring preparation experience remarkably straightforward and simple. Additionally, I traded in some 14k gold I no longer wear. Upon viewing the custom jewelry he has designed, I'm planning to bring in photos for my next piece. Steve has become my go-to jeweler, surpassing the likes of Tiffany's, By Bonnie, and Susie Saltzman. I've found a highly skilled jeweler without the ridiculous markups! read more

I stumble upon Steve many years ago, and have been coming back ever since. I love Steve's designs. They are classy without being overstated. My fiance and I even asked Steve to redesign our engagement ring. And Steve even invited us to come see the mold being 3D printed. read more

I bought my wife's engagement ring and 2 wedding bands here. If you're a guy like me, buying jewelry can be nerve wracking but Steve makes the entire process easy because I can trust him. He was nice enough to educate me in the quality of diamonds aka cut, clarity and color. Bry wanted stacked bands with regular gold and rose gold to match her white gold engagement diamond ring. She loves coming here and has gotten pearl earrings, diamond earrings and numerous customized rings. Steve has such a large selection and can also customize anything your heart desires. I'd recommend showing him a picture of what you want if you're like me. For my wedding band, he was able to bring my custom idea to life with a matte (brushed) rose gold band (pipe cut). I just showed him a picture on my phone of what I wanted. If you want the real deal highest quality at a reasonable price, you should come here as I do with all my friends. Or if you simply want to see what's in with jewelry nowadays, give him a visit! By the way, Steve speaks perfect English and he's friendly and easy to talk to. read more

I found Steve through a trusted friend. He is an excellent jeweler and a true pleasure to work with. I've gone to him on two separate occasions now and will continue to go to him for future needs. I've recommend him to all my friends and family and will continue to do so. If you want an honest jeweler, visit Platina Design located at St. Vincent Jewelry Mart! read more

I love Platina and I love Steve (the owner)! I got my wedding band from there, its an eternity band, round diamonds all around, total carat weight of about 2. The clarity is VS1 and VS2, color is almost colorless. I got it for $2000!! The same ring goes for $3000 on blue nile. I was referred to Platina through family who have been going to him for years. I referred a couple of people there and they loved him too and referred more. I think about 10 people have gone to him now because of me. (I should ask for a hook up!). What I like about Platina is that Steve has great taste, he can custom make things for you too, and the best part is that he is really honest and is not trying to make you spend money. He doesnt try and push you to spend more. My husbands best friend bought his wifes engagement ring there. Steve called him a couple minutes after he left and said that he overpaid $100. My husbands best friend told Steve to keep the money because he gave him such a great deal anyways. But Steve insisted that he come back and get the $100. Hes just an honest guy who gives great service and makes great jewelry. Im not buying any jewelry from now on unless its from Platina. The other people who have gone to him agree that his jewelry is much cheaper than Blue Nile, which is considered to be a great deal. read more

Platina Design is by far the best place to get your engagement and wedding rings in the LA area. Steve is a straight shooter with exceptional talent at designing and crafting custom jewelry. He also has a great stock of rings that are ready to go off the shelf. My fiance and i went in there with an idea of what she wanted for an engagement ring and Steve was able to materialize them flawlessly and at a great price. I wouldn't go anywhere else for jewelry now that i've bought from Platina. I've already recommended him to a few of my other friends. read more

As luck would have it , I came upon here by chance and simply couldn't find a better deal for what I was looking for - Korean first birthday dohl ring. An honest jeweler full of character and positive energy, what a gem Mr. Park is. My mom also got a great deal for a solid gold necklace charm in the shape of a pig (to bring great fortune)- a rare find in this district and totally cute! Be sure to call ahead and ask if the Korean birthday rings are in stock just in case. They sell out quick! Prices are great here! read more

I found Steve of Platina Designs by chance a dozen years ago. I don't know how I picked his booth out of the hundreds just like it, but I'm super lucky I did. He was infinitely patient with me designing some jewelry from scratch, and note that I am very demanding and critical of craftsmanship and esthetics. His work is top-notch and his prices are more than fair. Since then he has taken care of many different chores including cleaning an impossibly delicate 110-year-old diamond ring and restoring it to new, helping me pick stones, repairing bracelets, helping me get a good price on some jewelry to sell, and advising me on materials. He is a wealth of knowledge in all areas of jewelry. And he is exceedingly honest in both his work and his advice. I am truly grateful for his year of amazing service to me and my family. Thanks Steve!!!! read more

Best and most friendly person I had ever had the pleasure of working with. The owner is friendly and will always help you find exactly what you need for a price that is hard to beat. read more

Steve is the Man!! I was referred by family members, since they all go to him for their jewelry. Our family has been going to him for years. I went to Steve having doubts about the downtown jewelry district and the quality they would have. I guess back then I was more about getting the name brand jewlery from Tiffany's, Cartier,... Steve is a Real honest guy and that's what I like about him. He's talked me out of spending unnecessarily more than I needed to at times and always gives me sound advice to choose the right jewels. I've gone to him for all my needs in the past and will continue to go to him for future needs. I recommend him to all my friends and family. He's helped me pick my engagment ring to wedding bands and birth gifts for my wife. We've gotten custom jewelry made and had no problems. I really can't say more good things about a good guy. If you want a honest jeweler who won't try to sell you on things and gives the best deals, go see Platina designs and see Steve. read more

My husband has bought pieces from Steve for me for some years now. Every piece is beautiful and I have not had any problems with anything breaking or stones falling off. I am really hard on my jewelry but everything my husband has bought from him has been of the very best quality. We're VERY HAPPY and will keep coming back! read more

Steve is absolutely the best jeweler ever! You can tell right away he knows exactly what's he's doing and designs to perfection. It's so hard finding an honest jeweler, but Steve does not lack that characteristic. He works a great deal according to your budget! I got my engagement and wedding ring from him. Call Steve if you need a ring! read more

Steve and his wife design their own jewelry and its beautiful. I've been going to them for years and they have jewelry that is both affordable as well as really expensive. The one thing that should immediately stick out when you browse is how good the quality is. All of their diamonds shine because they only use good quality diamonds. And, their designs are so beautiful--simple, elegant, fun, and never ostentatious. Walk around the St. Vincent Jewelry Mart and you'll see how this store's display just shines brighter--that's because of the quality of their gems. Also, they'll explain jewelry to you and help design something if you know what you have in mind. read more

I am a big fan of Steve Park/Platina Design. He has great taste and he gives good deals. He has an eye for design and he is very detail oriented. Like others have said, he is a straight shooter, tells it like it is. I bought my diamond from him and did the setting with him a year later. He works hard to deliver to his clients and he is honest. He was recommended to me by a friend. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family. read more

This place is absolutely the best!! Everything about the store is great. The ownership, the products and the environment is very amiable. With original designs and products that are amazing, everything compares to any places that you would consider "high end" without the high end price. I would definitely recommend this place to buy anything for any occassion! read more

I'd like to recommend Steve. In fact, I already did so once, before the engagement ring I bought from him fell apart less than a year after I bought it. The platinum band broke in two places (the welding turned out to have been done horribly, with contamination in the weld so it was very weak). He agreed to fix it, and ended up replacing the entire setting, but the new setting is, again, terrible, only this time it is visibly shoddy. Prongs of different lengths, arranged crookedly around the stone, bleh. I'll have to take it to a proper jeweler to fix it up. read more

STEVE is THE MAN!!! Steve is probably the most honest person in the jewelry mart - and he knows just about anything and everything. His pieces are gorgeous, fairly priced and his quality superb. His designs are innovative and creative and cool. I wouldn't shop anywhere else in the mart when dealing with gold, diamonds, jewels and ESPECIALLY pearls. Check out Steve's store and his designs or bring in your old gems or gold and have Steve design something knock out for you. A definite must for all things jewelry...and a fun trip downtown!!! read more
