My fiancé bought my engagement ring from here and it's perfect! He came upon Princess through a referral and they exceeded expectations. They designed it according to what I had wanted and he said they were efficient, kind, and knowledgeable. When I needed it resized, they completed it within an hour. It was a smooth, first ring-buying experience, and we are overjoyed with the experience and product. read more

I went to see Yong at the end of July to have my engagement ring re-done. There was nothing wrong with it but I thought I was ready for a change. I picked out a new semi-mount and, two weeks later, I had a brand new ring which was completely different from the ring I had been wearing for 17 years. It was beautiful and I thought it was exactly what I wanted. Not to mention the pricing was very good. Days passed and something wasn't right. When I looked at the ring, I didn't love it. Was it the prongs on top? Hmmm, maybe. But I wore the ring for three weeks just to see if it was just a matter of getting used to it. After that time, I still wasn't crazy about the ring design that I had selected. I wasn't even sure I could even do anything about it because, after all, I was the one who had made the choice after going through Princess Jewelry's large selection of antique settings. But I contacted Yong anyway and he gave me a few options that might soften the look of the prongs. I went back and he worked his magic by splitting the prongs and making them more subtle. It looked better and I was pleased. However, a few days later, I realized that this piece, although lovely in its own right, was just not...me. What did I do? I went back to Princess Jewelry, yet again, and talked with Yong. I told him I REALLY wanted to love my ring but I just wasn't loving it. He gave me a few more suggestions but then said if I still wasn't satisfied, we could just start over. He and his wife showed so much patience. They never tried to push anything on me and showed me more styles and gave me the time I needed to really, really find something I liked. Yong had made my engagement and wedding rings and my husband's wedding band 17 and 15 years ago. He showed me an updated version of my old ring but I was hesitant because it was too similar. I couldn't help but gravitate toward that setting anyway. I loved my old ring. So after much deliberation and some advice from a friend, I finally made the decision and picked the new evolution of my old setting. One week later, my ring was finished and I absolutely LOVE it!! It just feels right and it looks right and it truly reflects me and my style. I imagine this is how Cinderella felt when she tried on that glass slipper. I know I didn't have to write this long winded review but I'm not sure I could have gotten this customer care and service from any other jeweler. They really wanted me to be happy and gave me the time and space I needed to come to a thoughtful decision. I will continue going to Princess Jewelry for all of my fine jewelry needs and will recommend them to anyone who is looking for a jeweler they can trust. The Jewelry District in Downtown LA can be overwhelming but Princess Jewelry is THE best, hands down. P.S. The cost for the changes I made were not what you'd think they'd be. Yong charged me a very minimal amount for the extra time and labor and their pricing is already very fair and reasonable. read more

Extremely high quality. Wonderful owners. Can source whatever you need. Tons of beautiful settings and also offers custom designs. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

I chipped my side diamond and needed it to get it fixed. Plus I was in the market for a new setting. I went to Yong & Tomy from a family friend recommendation. I kid you not, I am not a fan of going to a jeweler that has a booth instead of an office. Something about jewelers in a booth just turns me off. However, after meeting them and discussing what I wanted, doing business with them put me at ease. Yong told me what my options were for my chipped diamond and then hand drew a pic of a setting I envisioned/wanted. He listened and was able to come up with something. His hand dawn pic of the setting was pretty precise & impressive. He later sent me a CAD drawing of the ring and it was exactly what he hand drew. It took a month for the ring to be ready but it was worth the wait. Yong and Tomy are not pushy or aggressive jewelers. They are calm & easy going. They don't spring on all the trays if rings to try and get you to buy something . Unlike the neighboring booths, who were the exact opposite. The workmanship is very good, proportioned and precise. Yong did an excellent job. He knows what he is doing and will be able to help create something for you. Was he pricey? I can't say bc I had a budget in mind and when he told me how much my new ring would be with 6 additional 2mm diamonds, it was within my price point. Definitely meet Yong and Tomy. They are easy going people who are a gem to work with. read more

I THINK THE FEW BAD REVIEWS ARE FOR THE WRONG PLACE! PLESE READ MY REVIEW. I haven't written a yelp in a long time, but have gotten some custom pieces made by Yong and had my wedding ring recently repaired when my center stone fell out. I have a vast jewelry collection and have used plenty of jewelers over the years and discovered Yong about 5 years ago and wish it was sooner. Yong and his wife are by far the most honest and trustworthy jewelers I've ever worked with. Their prices are unreal and the craftsmanship is amazing. I love intricate dainty details and they nail it every time. Now let's get to the reason I'm writing this review. I came On yelp to add my review and was shocked to see a few bad reviews. I instantly thought there is NO WAY these people are talking about Yong So I researched and there is another place called princess jewelers LA. The name is slightly different but easily confused. I'm almost certain those reviews must be talking about that jeweler. That's the only explanation that would make sense. If you ever do business with Princess Jewelry-you'll know what I'm talking about. They're top notch. I don't even think Yong reads these reviews or aware they have a yelp...but I felt like I had to clear their name. Thanks for reading. read more

I am the crazy frugal researcher who was on a mission to find the BEST deal for my engagement ring. And without question Princess Jewelry gave the best deal in town. Guarantee you won't find another place cheaper unless you have serious connections. Anyways, I've referred many people already. My friend just flew down all the way from SF to buy a ring today from Yong (owner). Even for fun, we went to other jewelers to compare prices/quality and just as I expected, we saved $2000 buying from here. read more

I think my diamond was switched during its production. They overcharge you- confirmed by many jewelers. I want to reset my wedding / engagement ring but never here because I cant trust them. read more

My fiance got my wedding band here, and I couldn't be happier with my ring! My wedding coordinator actually recommended us to come here, and we are glad we came! Fiancé purchased a micro u-pave white gold band for me (I got 75% diamond around the ring so I have the option of adjusting the size later on). Prices are very reasonable and affordable. We cross referenced with several other jewelers, and Princess Jewelry definitely has the best prices. It's a cute family run business. They actually hand-carve out the u-pave via a microscope, which is very detailed and difficult work. They will custom design to your liking. It is so perfect that it's as if a machine did it. Very impressive! TIP: Pay in cash - you'll get a discount. read more

My fiancé and I recently got our wedding bands from Princess Jewelry, and we loved the way they turned out! We were only in Los Angeles for one week, and they were able to finish both of our rings in time before we had to leave. Yong and his wife were both attentive and helpful, and they made sure we got exactly what we wanted without trying to be pushy. Highly recommend! Pro-tip: pay in cash to get a discount! read more

My husband got my engagement ring here and then we got our wedding bands. I love my ring! It is gorgeous. We have been married 6 months now. I came back to have my rings resized and cleaned. They look like new! I also purchased a new band so I can stack them. The customer service here is amazing and you get a great deal for your dollar. This business is family owned. The daughter in law of the owner is super helpful and friendly. If you tell her what you are looking for and your budget, she will take her time to find you the perfect piece. I will definitely continue to come back! read more

Just picked up a 20 year wedding anniversary/'big birthday" present for my wife and she could not be happier. I have purchased all her jewelry from Princess Jewelry beginning with her engagement ring ~25 yrs ago. My mom took me to Princess Jewelry to buy an engagement ring as she had purchased many pieces from them over the years. Yong used the diamond from the original ring to make a halo pendant and set me up with a 2ct. princess cut and a beautiful setting. Princess Jewelry (Yong and his is family) are very knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. The pricing and customer service are second to none. read more

I spent dozens of hours browsing hundreds of shops and looking at thousands of rings in the jewelry district. It was a great learning experience, but I really wish someone had sent me to Tommy and the Princess gang first. Here's why: --They are one of a very small number of folks in the district who make their own jewelry. They control the entire process from manufacture to retail, meaning they can literally make you anything you want. They know their stuff better than any other vendor I spoke to in the entire district. --They were so good to work with. They were incredibly patient and supportive as I felt my way through the process. Tommy talked me through it and was amazing to work with. --They were incredibly flexible. By the time I finally decided on the ring, I was in a major time crunch. They had previously quoted me a full month plus to create the ring I'd designed, but they made it for me in 2 weeks. Plus they worked with me on the price (got a killer deal), they were flexible in how they let me pay for it, and they were communicative by phone and email through out the entire process. And the ring was perfect. If you're in the market and you're heading to the DTLA jewelry district, and you feel like dealing with real, honest and talented people, go to Princess first. read more

Through a referral, my husband designed my engagement ring here. After falling in love with my ring, we naturally came back months later to get matching wedding bands. Fast forward to the present- I was on Yelp when I randomly came across another jeweler's Yelp page. After reading raved reviews, I started second guessing myself and pondered if I irrationally purchased my ring/band here without taking a look at what other jewelers had to offer. As much as I loved my ring/band, a lot of "what if's" started scanning through my head. Coincidentally, a week later, my husband told me that he would like to buy me a new band to match my engagement ring (since my wedding band does not) as his wedding anniversary present. This time around, I made sure to research and visit other jewelers before making the final decision. We went around to 3 different jewelers with VERY good reviews. As beautiful as their rings were, the bands were way over our budget. Or some jewelers barely paid attention to us. Nothing really "clicked" to me, either. Our last stop was Princess Jewelery, since I knew if all else failed, Princess Jewelery will have a solution for me. And right I was. Princess Jewelery has both amazingly, high-quality, beautiful rings with excellent customer service to boot! As soon as we entered, the older lady greeted me with a smile. We wasted no time and got down to looking at the bands right away. In mere seconds, I found one that matched PERFECTLY with my engagement ring. Although the price she called out was a lot higher than the previous year, it was still significantly cheaper than the other shops we looked at. As if that wasn't enough, Christina happened to walk by and gave us an even better discount! We ended up getting TWO bands, which was STILL cheaper than the other quotes that we received for their one band. Amazing! Do I even have to mention that she gave us another discount for paying all in cash to convince you to stop by here? Also, please be advised that even though it's cheaper, it does not mean their quality is as well. It is top notch! read more

I never write reviews on yelp, I just don't have the time. With that said, Yong has been our jeweler for close to 20 years. He has made all of my jewelry... my engagement ring, wedding ring, push presents... and now my 10 year anniversary band. I am really particular, and Yong is patient, kind and always delivers exactly what I want. My engagement ring had to be platinum, with a large cushion cut diamond, and every surface had to be filigreed. For my custom anniversary band Yong sourced 23 perfect emerald cut diamonds. I have referred all of my family and friends to Princess Jewelry and can confidently recommend them. read more

My fiance and I went downtown and looked at about 4 different places for a wedding band to match my antique engagement ring. This place is the one we ended up going with, not just because they offered the lowest price but also they spent the most time with us, gave great advice, and were just generally interested in us as customers. One of the other places we went to seemed like they could care less whether they sold us a ring as we needed something custom and another place wanted to charge us much more. On top of these, they do their work in-house upstairs from the shop. Brilliant! Two quick pieces of info - 1) offer to pay cash if you can - will give you a great discount 2) call in to find out if your piece is done. We waited for a call and never heard from them - but that was a miscommunication on our part we had assumed they would call us but they had given us a timeframe of 2 weeks so I think they thought we would come in. read more

This place rocks. There are a million places to get your jewls but this place is great mostly because of the family that runs it. I have purchased our engagement ring, wedding bands, watch, and other stuff and they always provide excellent service, good honest information, reasonable prices and a friendly smile. Tommy does custom antique jewlery so if you're into that fancy stuff, he's your man! Great quality, reasonable prices and excellent service! read more

There are a lot of different Jewelers in the Jewelry Mart in LA and it can be quite overwhelming so knowing someone or being referred to someone is always a plus. They are the only people in the Jewelry Mart I would refer people to go to. They are very honest, and patient, and they won't try to "up sale" you. They will listen to what you want and show you items that are within your budget and are similiar to what you had described. Both Yong and Tommy are very knowledgeable!!! Yong is a gemologist so he really knows his stuff!! I still to this day look at my engagement ring and LOVE it!!! read more

Took some time to get to this as I am not diligent and forgetful in giving out yelp reviews, but finally felt the need to do this as I was looking at my wedding band the other day and some much overdue gratitude was in order. Basically, purchased an engagement ring last year in fall for my wife including her wedding bands. My wife also purchased my wedding band from them. I have to say......Young and his family are the most knowledgeable, understandable, patient, and down to earth people I have come across in the Jewelry District in my many visits there over the 20 years as a purchaser and a few times as a seller. My only regret is that I didn't come across their store in the past or noticed it sooner. Moreover, they are great teachers and love to share their knowledge as well as work their hardest to find you what you are looking for as well as give excellent advice. Most importantly, they are real jewelers and what I mean by that is they actually make, craft, and design jewelry in house, which is very rare these days as most people hire designers/creators/crafters or most often source the work out while the actual owners/jewelers themselves are usually just salespeople. Not at this awesome place!! Young and his family work with their very hands and take pride in their work. If you have a sample or design, they will work to get it done. If they do have to source something out, they let you know upfront and give the best rates. Oh my...the cost saving alone with working with them is more than worth it!!! Like I said, they really stand behind their quality of service and experience. Each time I visited to discuss the rings, I saw tons of jewelers visiting them to see if they could work on something and one salesperson working for another told me that they are the best hands down. That told me how much they are respected in the community and that many jewelers source to them to make rings and jewelry. Not to mention the repeat customers I saw while I was there who were buying jewelry for family or have been going there for decades. I really especially loved that there are no hidden gimmicks with them and you don't get that hustle eye that every jeweler and their staff is hunting to draw you in or don't give you any service because they think you are not purchasing. Can't stand those jewelers and they are not personal or care at all. No need to oversell when you are a legit!! Princes Jewelry is seriously one of a kind and a rare thing in the Jewelry district in the modern era. You just don't see or hear about real jewelers like them anymore. Can't recommend them enough!!! read more

This is the only jeweler you need to go to in Downtown LA. High quality work, great customer service (been around for decades) and their pieces are seriously the most gorgeous!!! We've had our pieces for over 8 years and they are still perfect the way they were 8 years ago and I still get compliments on the designs. Setting is still perfect!

Just ordered 2 new custom rings from them as usual they look amazing. Their prices are fair their customer service is excellent. Having been using them for the past 16 years. They just helped me make a great design for my grandmothers engagement stone. I could not be happier. You can bring in your own stones if you like. They will do a wax casting of your design to make sure you like it. read more

Very helpful. Very patient. Very professional. Very knowledgeable. Yong and Tommy know their jewelry, and there is no pressure to buy, which makes for a really nice experience.

of all the things i've done for my wedding, buying my husband's wedding band was the least painful task. i did my homework. i looked up a few jewelry stores located in the downtown jewelry district on yelp, got a couple referrals from family and friends, and drove ourselves up. the first jewelry shop we stopped by was the one that has garnered highest ratings and received great reviews from yelpers. it was a nice store with good inventory, but i didn't particularly feel welcomed by them. even though we were the only ones in the store, the sales person showed lukewarm excitement the moment we said we were only interested in men's wedding bands. it almost didn't seem like she wanted our teeny tiny small business. the next stop was a store reviewed by a trusted yelper. although the price was about 5% higher than the first one, i definitely felt more connected to the sales person here. she was very knowledgeable and never tried to say certain metals were better purely based on price. had the price been within our budgeted range, i might've had bought a ring from this store. our third stop was princess jewelry tucked in a corner of big room. a friend of mine just got her husband's ring from here a month before so i knew what price range to negotiate within (at least 20% cheaper than the first 2 stores). after browsing different designs (men can be extremely picky with their rings!), we chose one we both liked upon the owner's suggestion. when i asked for some discount on the price, thomas was brutally honest and told me that that was not possible since the price of gold has gone up. he did, however, offer to refund the difference if the gold price had dropped on the day the ring was getting molded. i requested the ring to be mailed to me (mere $6) since i couldn't bear to drive to l.a. downtown and pay an arm and a leg for parking. in less than a week, i got a package with the ring AND $30 cash!!! i couldn't believe my eyes...seriously, money back? he really refunded the difference? talk about integrity and customer service!!! the best part is that i love my husband's ring so much that i might get one for myself. a woman can never have too much jewelry!!! read more

For everyone that might be looking for an honest no hassle old school jewelry store Ive found one here in downtown LA. If you're having a hard time finding them, look against the side wall. This is a family run store so you can tell they care about the quality of the jewelry being sold and they are very knowledgeable about the metals and heir overall value. Their prices are very reasonable since they both design and manufacture what they sell. Yes you read that right, they also manufacture jewelry in the area so you really can get customized jewelry. read more

My girlfriend can't stop looking at her ring!! We had visited a couple high price jewelry stores to get an idea on ring designs. I was able to take mental notes and have princess jewelry create her ring. It was exactly what she wanted. Great price + great service = great ring. By far the lowest price around. read more

Can't say enough good things about Young and his wife Christina. Young had made engagement rings for several of our friends, so when the time came, we knew where to go! He has a wide selection of settings and beautiful stones, and can also customize a setting for you. We did a beautiful micro pave setting with a round center stone. The ring is stunning and the diamond quality top notch. His prices are very reasonable. What truly sets this jeweler apart is how friendly young is- we had our rings resized (chubby fingers got skinnier) as well as engraved and these types of requests are never a problem. Do yourself a favor and stop by- you won't be sorry! read more

Absolute best quality and best deal around. Tommy and his family do AMAZING work!!! I will NEVER buy a piece of jewelry at a regular old jewelry store ever again. Top notch customer service as well :) read more

I bought my wife's wedding ring and shadow band at Princess Jewelry. They are kind, helpful and knowledgeable. We wen't in with an idea of what we wanted and 40 minutes later we were out the door. I wanted to make sure my wife's ring was perfect, so she agreed to go with me and then I surprised her by proposing to her in front of her classroom where she teaches. Her ring turned out perfect. She loves it! The owner designed our ring and the workmanship was finished within 3 weeks. I recommend going to Princess Jewelry for sure. read more

Very happy with the work that was done to "makeover" my platinum engagement ring! Yong has a nice and calm demeanor and unlike most of the jewelry vendors in the Jewelry District, he is NOT pushy at all! He was also very helpful with my fiancé's wedding band and provided him with a lot of information-- and again, without being pushy. I would definitely recommend Princess Jewelry! read more
