I have been dying to leave this review. My husband and I visited The Diamond Connection twice before finalizing my new custom ring. We also visited three other jewelers to see what my options were, but none compared to The Diamond Connection. Adam was so great at helping me customize my ring. I was going back and forth with different carat sizes and he gently nudged me towards the one that best suited my petite hands. The final design that was created for us was so beautiful, but actually seeing the custom ring on my hand was breathtaking! My new ring is perfect! It's feminine, it's stunning, and fully encompasses our 25-year love story. Adam, thank you for your time, your patience and especially for your expertise. read more

The Diamond Connection - Custom designed ring - Jewelry Near Me - San Diego, California

Custom dream ring, I couldn't have asked for a better experience ring shopping with my now fiancée. Adam is an expert in his craft. Men, I would highly suggest taking your girl to explore the different diamond cuts. I was set in stone with what I thought I liked and fell completely for something different. Adam really helped our vision come to life, 3ct pear diamond with 23 circle diamonds as a hidden halo. The diamond connection was a hidden gem I came across on Yelp and I am beyond happy to have my engagement ring come from this special place. Thank you Adam, hope to see you soon for our future wedding bands! read more

This review is long overdue! My husband and I bought our wedding rings from the Diamond Connection in 2010. I take my rings in for inspection and cleaning every few years and they still look as beautiful as they did from day one. I love how sparkly all of the stones are, especially the main diamond. This year, when I went to pick up my rings, they brought this gorgeous rainbow sapphire ring out of the vault. I tried it on and they had to cut the tags off because I couldn't live without it! It's the most me piece of jewelry I have ever encountered and it makes me smile all day. I've sent numerous friends to the Diamond Connection over the years and will continue to be a lifelong customer. read more

The Diamond Connection - Thanks to Plain Jane Photography for this beautiful photo of my sapphire and diamond ring. - Jewelry Near Me - San Diego, California

Deceitful, Dishonest, Deceptive. Not honest with customers. Selections are slim, hardly opens the store on time. Bought numerous times from him, have receipts to prove it. The value for the quality is a rip off. If your planning on getting married in the next 6 months, dont buy here, your not guaranteed your ring, since the store might not be open 6 months from now. read more

my friend got her engagement ring and her husband's wedding band here. She took me here for a ring shopping for my engagement ring a few months ago. We were able to try on a number of rings, to get an idea of the style diamond, cut, color, and right size! We were here for at least an hour, the staff was super helpful, inattentive to us. They have a great selection of diamonds and can custom style to whatever you're looking for. The prices can't be beat! My now fiance, ended up ordering my ring here, and I'm absolutely in love with it! highly recommend this place if you are engagement ring shopping, or if you're looking for nice quality jewelry. read more

What an amazing experience, I couldn't ask for better! I was initially overwhelmed with the process of shopping for an engagement ring but Aaron and Nancy were extremely thoughtful and helpful guiding me through it and were never pushy about budget/upselling. The custom ring they made is absolutely beautiful, and most importantly my fiancee loves it! I can't wait for us to come back for wedding bands and we will be recommending The Diamond Connection to everyone we can! read more

I visited The Diamond Connection today and was blown away by the level of care I received. I worked with DJ and Adam, and both were absolutely wonderful. DJ is incredibly patient, kind, and just so easy to talk to. I never felt rushed or pressured.. it felt like having a genuine conversation. Adam (who I believe is the owner) has clearly built a business that prioritizes the customer experience. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, I felt valued and well-taken care of. If you're looking for excellent customer service and a nice stress-free environment, this is the place to go :) read more

Aaron and Nancy thank you for the advice and for the clean up! I will definitely recommend you to my family and friends. read more

Highly highly recommend! Aaron was wonderful straight from the beginning. While shopping for my engagement ring, I went to a lot of the major retailers and was not finding anything I just loved. So my Cousin brought me to her jeweler, Aaron. Pretty quickly I found a setting that I immediately fell in love with! A beautiful halo with belted galley detail, tapered with quilted interior design. Part of the A.JAFFE Classics (Timeless) collection. Aaron even had the perfect band to go with it. So I eagerly told my boyfriend who took over from there. Skip forward to the good part I received my ring in the most picturesque setting and was blown away. It was absolutely gorgeous! You can say I am a little obsessed with it haha. Trust me, you won't find a better place that values customer service with quality items than The Diamond Connection. read more

I chose The Diamond Connection because of their stellar Yelp reviews, and I'm so glad I did--they truly lived up to the hype. I needed my engagement ring and band resized, and from the moment I walked in, Aaron was incredibly personable, caring, and professional. He took such great care with my rings, and they were ready in just a week! When I picked them up, I was blown away--the fit was perfect, and they looked absolutely stunning, like brand new. I seriously can't stop staring at them. From the pricing to the turnaround time to the genuine sense of trust I felt working with Aaron and The Diamond Connection, it's a solid 10 stars. Huge thanks to Aaron and Nancy--I'm now a lifelong customer and will be recommending them to all my family and friends! read more

My fiancé met with several different jewelers in the San Diego area and found The Diamond Connection to have superb customer service. They helped him navigate picking out the perfect engagement ring. They reviewed the available rings in the case, which were not quite what he was looking for, so they partnered with him to design a gorgeous engagement ring together. They provided timely updates throughout the design process and allowed him to review each mock up before proceeding to the next step. He also was looking for a specific type of diamond, which they were able to facilitate and order. We cannot wait to partner with them for the design of our wedding bands. Thank you so much and see you all soon!!! read more

I purchased a beautiful, delicate ring six years ago from the Diamond Connection. When one of the small diamonds recently fell out, I took it in for repair. Not only did they replace the diamond FOR FREE but they did so within three days! Amazing, friendly service with unique quality pieces. Highly recommend! read more

Incredible ring! Love the service there is nothing like it! The build is incredible. Love how hidden yet beautiful the settings are.

Went to them for both my wife's engagement ring and wedding band! They made designing an engagement ring with them so easy, and I am beyond happy with how it turned out. Their incredible work with being able to do braided ring designs, while still being able to keep the whole ring slender, was ultimately what led me to choose designing a ring with them. Most other ring stores I checked in San Diego did not seem to be able to accomplish the same level of finesse on their braided rings, at least judging by their displays. The engagement ring turned out better than I could have hoped for. Thank you, Aaron & Nancy! Your friendliness and professionalism made this such a great experience. read more

Had a great experience at The Diamond Collection! Aaron was super helpful in picking my wedding band.

Very Professional! Super fast turnaround! DJ and Adam are the best there! I got a diamond on my ring replaced and they matched it seamlessly, just like the original missing diamond! They also cleaned my ring and I honestly haven't seen it shine so bright. It was just like the first time I got it! All shiny and new looking! Thanks so much for great service! I highly recommend this place! Will be coming here for all my future jewelry needs! read more

I bought my ring from this shop and the service was amazing. Aaron and Nancy were amazing. I recently went back and there were two random guys there claiming they own the business. I asked them about Aaron and Nancy and they said they're gone. He was so rude about it and said Aaron knew nothing about diamonds. Aaron and Nancy had a loyal customer, but I'm not going back to these two unprofessional men. They lost a client for sure. read more

My experience with the Diamond Connection was really great! Aaron spent a lot of time with me to find the perfect ring. I highly recommend them! read more

I'm overjoyed at how beautiful our wedding rings turned out! We went to 6 different fine jewelry stores in SD and felt most at home with The Diamond Connection. It's a special shop to us, intimate and friendly, and had fun during our return visits to plan anniversary bands! The collaboration with Aaron and Nancy, and their connection with jewelers all over the country whose original designs brought our visions to life made the process all so much fun. I wish I could do it all over again just to spend more time in their shop--they're such sweet people! read more

Aaron and Nancy are excellent. They took care of me and I'll definitely be returning to them for eve ey thing jewelry related!

Aaron is the man! I came in with little knowledge on engagement rings and he was super patient, kind, and informative. I even left to check out a few more spots before committing to a ring, but came back to Aaron and The Diamond Connection because I felt the most comfortable purchasing with them and their quality could not be matched! Excited to get my wedding band through The Diamond Connection. read more

Every time we come we feel like they truly appreciate our business. Selection is great and they are knowledgeable and reassuring. We have had some issues over the years with loose or missing stones -- the ring is extremely thin. We have never been hassled or attempted to upsell. Every time they have replaced the small stones and cleaned our rings no charge. Excellent service and the ring has so much value for what we paid. Will continue to refer friends and family here for years to come. read more

Long overdue review of several beautiful pieces! My husband brought me to The Diamond Connection in January 2021 to browse rings to get a sense of what I liked (which was a nice oval cut). By March 2021, he proposed with a beautiful oval center stone on a pave band. A few months later, we were wed in a civil ceremony where I got an eternity band, and my husband got a tungsten band. Less than a year later, we were wed in a church where I got a half eternity ring. Now I have a gorgeous ring stack all thanks to great selection and amazing staff - Aaron, Adam and Nancy! We loved the service, quality and craftsmanship of the jewelry. Bottomline, they are great jewelers. My husband and I are definitely customers for life! read more

I love this jeweler. Aaron and Nancy are so great and will help you with whatever you need! I ended up resetting my diamond with them and bought my wedding band and i get so many compliments. Also stopping by to get it cleaned whenever i want is amazing!! read more

I just purchased an engagement ring from the Diamond Connection and I cannot speak highly enough about this business! From the moment you walk through the door you feel at home and cared for by Aaron and Nancy. They have an incredible selection of beautiful rings and jewelry to choose from and will work with you to design the perfect piece of jewelry for your partner! I can say as a repeat customer their customer service and finished products are just incredible! You will not find another jeweler better or more reasonably priced than the Diamond Connection! If you are looking for the place to craft that perfect piece of jewelry without the high pressure sales games this is it! My fiancé is in love with her ring and we couldn't be happier about our experience at Diamond Connection. Make them your first choice you won't regret it! read more

San Diego's hidden gem! The service is beyond excellent, they always go above and beyond. I needed to special order a gift (these gorgeous earrings), they took wonderful care of me, giving me numerous options to choose from and I couldn't have been happier.

DJ was super helpful on getting my fiancé's ring just right. He was wonderful to work with! Thank you!

Found The Diamond Connection on yelp after shopping around for engagement rings at other local and chain jewelry stores. I worked with Aaron to find a beautiful engagement ring that suited my fiancé's style and my budget. He educated us about how diamond color, cut, clarity and carat affect pricing as well as the different styles they are able to customize. After shopping around different stores, this was the best service I received. I didn't feel pressured to buy a ring and Aaron was able to help me make an educated decision and listened to what I was looking for. Thank you Aaron for the wonderful service!! I highly recommend The Diamond Connection for beautiful, high quality rings! read more

Aaron and Nancy are absolutely amazing! You know how your grandparents always have a trusted "guy" for every service--like the go-to mechanic or the best butcher? Well, Aaron and Nancy are my jewelers! The customer service here is top-notch. I bought my wedding band from them, and even though I purchased my engagement ring before moving to San Diego, they've been incredibly helpful with it. Whether it's resizing, replacing missing gems, or giving it a sparkling cleaning, they always go above and beyond. I'll definitely be returning for all my jewelry needs for many years to come! read more

My rating is 4.5 stars! My fiance and I started the engagement ring shopping this past summer and spent 2 months picking out our center stone and designing our perfect ring with Aaron. He was super friendly and guided us through every step of the process. Although a small shop, I was impressed with the beautiful selection and the ability to customize exactly what we imagined! He was knowledgable and guided my fiance through the basics (and was helpful in staying within our budget). The one thing that could have been improved, were the quality of the design renders. It was very nice to have the images and give feedback, but they did not realistically reflect the true design/end product! Luckily, my ring came out better than ever! I was STUNNED at how perfect it was and couldn't be happier! Since my engagement, I even went back for another band. Arron and team have been amazing in multiple resizing (at no cost) and multiple complimentary cleanings, something I appreciate! We will def be going back for my wedding band. I def recommend taking a look at the Diamond Connection. read more

First came here to help my now brother-in-law to pick out an engagement ring for my twin sister. 8 years later, I just came in to pick out wedding bands with my fiance (who also got my engagement ring here with that same sisters help-it's come full circle!). We've referred many people here (multiple engagement rings and wedding bands) not only for the quality of their rings but the amazing customer service. Today Aaron and Nancy were super helpful with us picking wedding bands. They had a huge selection of wedding bands for both men and women. No pressure on buying and no pressure with letting you take your own time to look and try on different rings. They answered all of our questions and were really informative about the different kinds of bands and were more than generous with the pricing for the rings. I am in so in love with our wedding bands and can't wait for them to get here! While they do take walk ins, the shop is on the more intimate size but you can definitely make appointments. You have to ring a buzzer for them to admit you inside. There's only 2 parking spots up front but there's street parking as well (had no issues finding a spot on a beautiful Saturday afternoon). Lastly, they cleaned my beautiful engagement ring right before we left and gave it its day 1 sparkle and plan to do so again right before the big day! read more

They have an amazing selection of rings here! My engagement ring, wedding band, and anniversary band were all purchased from The Diamond Connection. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I've enjoyed each experience I've had this shop. I've had my rings resized by them as well and it's been an easy and quick process every time. read more

Service was awesome. I felt very comfortable with Aaron. I didn't feel like I was being pressured, or like I was being given the typical spiel. He was very nice to my girlfriend, too. We felt like we were treated special, especially since it was a private environment, a d we were the only customers with Aaron's undivided attention. I left feeling great about my purchase, and I would only recommend the Diamond Connection to anyone, from now on. Oh yeah, the price was about half what I almost paid at Robbins Bros read more
