I got engaged last year and was introduced to Marco & team via my new father-in-law. He has been a customer of Diamond Source since moving to SD 20+ years ago and had nothing but wonderful things to say about the company. We had three rings made by Diamond source (engagement + two wedding bands) and felt the diamond selection to be unparalleled and fairly priced. The entire experience was first class; we frequent old town from time to time and always stop in to say hello and get the rings polished/cleaned - no matter how busy Marco is, he always makes himself available to say hello and make sure we're still doing well. My wife gets compliments on her rings wherever she goes and we couldn't be happier with our decision. read more

I only have the best things to say about The Diamond Source, David, and Marco!! My (now) fiancé and I went in to look at engagement rings. We had been to a couple other places before but never got a good vibe from others. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by David. He's so friendly and personable, not pushy, and very knowledgeable. He offered to sit us down to educate us on diamonds. We had some idea, but what we learned here was great information! After this, we told him what we were looking for and he brought out a setting that was 100% perfect on the first try. After this, him and Marco brought out some diamonds for us to look at, and they were spot on exactly what we wanted. Their prices are incredibly fair! They were so kind, genuine and VERY honest. We felt like we had known them forever! Truly great people to work with. We have found our lifetime jeweler, and we're forever thankful to them for making our engagement the most perfect day for us! read more

Well, I'm am a bit shocked to read all these great reviews of this place...I am very disappointed in this place and won't be going back. After much research, my finance and I decided to take my new engagement ring here for some resizing and an appraisal. We called to get some info and estimates and then went in. We waited about 15 minutes to speak with someone and she told us that "We don't actually do this kind of work for rings that were not purchased here." Hmmmm....okay, that information would have been nice before we drove down here before work. She did go ahead with the work order because we explained to her that we had called previously and noone mentioned this to us. We were told it would be a week or two before it was ready (I had a very sad face), and we left. After TWO whole weeks and no phone calls, we finally called to find out where in the eff our ring was....? We were put on hold 2 or 3 times...apparently they couldn't rind the order...hmmmm. They found it and what-do-you-know, it had been done and was sitting there in the "wrong box"...we're so sorry. Yes, you are sir. Yes, you are. We go to pick up the ring and the appraisal, but they didn't have the appraisal and said it would be mailed to us within the week. Okaaaay. We don't receive it in a week and call AGAIN, and what do you know...Yep! It was there in that famous "wrong box" again... "We don't know why noone called you, we're sorry." Yes, you are. Yes, you are. My lovely new engagment ring may not be that important to you, but it means a whole hell of a lot to me...especially when my family and friends want to see it...and I have to keep saying that YOU have it and are busy misplacing it. A shame. A damn shame. Diamond Source? Diamond Careless. read more

I absolutely love the diamond source! Their diamonds and gems are beautiful and hands-down the best customer service. Ever. David is wonderful. I had to change the setting on my earrings and of course they were beyond perfect. I love that they have parking in the back as it gets tricky in Old Town. I would never consider going elsewhere. read more

My girlfriend and I went here today looking for engagement rings. The only person in the store was an armed police officer for the first 10-15 minutes. As we browsed, we saw a single employee, but she was totally engrossed with the conversation she was having on the phone. About five minutes after hanging up, she finally asked us if we needed any help. We told her we were just looking. Five minutes later we wanted to try on some rings, but she was nowhere to be found. There were two other customers in the store who were also looking for some help, but she never reappeared. Between the nonexistent service and OMG-level prices, I'd never even consider stepping foot in here again. read more

The Diamond Source has always provided excellent service and very knowledgable regarding jewelry. David and his Team has always answered my questions, and provided practical suggestions with regards to appraising some jewelry and how to possible re-create a new piece of jewelry that is no longer wearable. Thank You Diamond Source for always providing guidance regarding my jewelry needs. read more

Marco is a tool, who does NOT stand by his work. Have had friends burned by his craftmanship. On the plus, a very nice selection of colored diamonds, but I would never buy from him. read more

Years ago my husband purchased my engagement ring from the owner Marco. After 2 children and many years, I needed it sized so we went in. My husband was so excited to see Marco after so many years and briefly told him about the time he came in and purchased my ring. Marco was so rude. He seemed bored and not interested at all. I felt so bad for my husband. The gal that works there and completed the paperwork for my ring was not friendly either. I was very disappointed. I went into the store today to pick up my ring and when I went in Marco and th security guard were standing there talking and they didn't even greet me. I said I was there to pick up my ring and put my purse on the counter to get my wallet out to pay. Marco said "don't put your purse on the counter because it scratches the glass". I was so shocked that he said that. I was so upset about how I was treated today as well as how my family and I were treated the previous time that I cried on the way home. I've never been treated so poorly. After spending thousands of dollars I was treated like a bothersome bug. We will NEVER shop there again and I will tell all of my family and friends not to ever shop there. Marco is a dispicable person and his customer service skills are non existent. read more

This is a great place to do business. I did not buy my wife's wedding ring here and I wish I did. I only bought the stone here. This review is 6 years in the making. I was married in Jan of 2010. My wife and I live overseas and come back to the states a couple of times a year. Everytime we are back we bring the ring in to check the setting and get a professional cleaning. Everytime we come we are treated like family. The first year we tried to get our ring cleaned we went to the place where we bought the ring (Major Chain store). What a nightmare (review posted on their site). I won't go into details here, but I'll say that I really appreciate the after sales service from The Diamond Source. So much so that I feel compelled to write this review a whole 6 years after making my purchase. read more

I stopped in here to look at all of the amazing eye candy.. Dave is so creative he designs the most amazing pieces of jewelry.. If anyone is looking for that one of a kind piece this is definitely the place to come to.. You know what they say Diamonds are a girls best friend.. read more

My fiancé proposed on Christmas Eve a few months ago and my ring couldn't be more perfect! He was referred to the diamond source by a long time client of his that has been coming here for jewelry as long as she can remember (she is 80+ years old). He showed them a picture of what I wanted (that my best friend apparently shared with him) and they created it exactly! The setting is perfect..rose gold, delicate and classy. They weren't pushy at all and my fiancé came out spending exactly what he planned for his budget and I got a beautiful ring! Fannie was super sweet and helpful to him :) I have since gonna back for sizing and cleaning and love that I can do that anytime. Thank you! read more

She said yes!!!! I recently bought a 2.55 CT pink sapphire engagement ring from the great people here! The ring was designed by the owner and is absolutely gorgeous. My new fiancée has at least one person a day stop her to tell her how beautiful her ring is and to ask her about it. I can't recommend The Diamond Source enough. They gave me a fantastic deal and are trustworthy, honest, kind, and helpful. I will be going there from now on. You should too!!!! read more

The Diamond Source - She loves it, and that's truly what counts. - Jewelry Near Me - San Diego, California

Marco and his staff are very helpful. I needed my wedding ring enlarged do to arthritis taking a toll on my hands. They did a great job, you can't tell it was enlarged 2 full sizes, and was cleaned and polished so well it looks like a brand new ring, although it is almost 20 years old. While there my husband surprised me with an inline bracelet, (tennis bracelet, to us old timers). I couldn't be happier with the helped i had in finding the perfect one. I recommend going to The Diamond Source for all your jewelery needs. read more

This is a wonderful place to purchase high quality diamonds and other jewelry, and the customer service is always top notch. My mother in law has always gotten her jewelry at the Diamond Source. Her mother was a gemologist and passed her knowledge onto her, so she really knows a good diamond when she sees one. She gave my husband the middle diamond in my wedding ring, which happened to be from the Diamond Source. He and I went there and picked out the setting. I wasn't sure what I wanted and David was very helpful by asking me specific questions and directing me to different settings based on my answers. It took about 10 minutes before he pointed this one out and it was a done deal. I love my ring SO much! I've had it for 8 years now and I admire it everyday. Recently, one of the smaller diamonds fell out. I took it in and was quoted a price and a time frame. I called just before it was supposed to be ready and David told me they had found some imperfections in the metal they wanted to fix. He was very apologetic that it would be longer than expected but I truly appreciated how dedicated they were to making sure my ring was as perfect as possible. And when I went to pick it up, he didn't even charge me! They replaced a diamond and it didn't cost me a thing. That is some serious customer service and care about client experience. It is obvious how much they care about their product and your satisfaction. I encourage all my friends looking for a unique piece of jewelry to visit the Diamond Sourc read more

This is the only jewelry store my family and I will EVER use. I don't have much jewelry, but all of it is from here. Marco and his staff are very courteous and attentive. They expertly repaired a platinum/diamond solitaire setting for me. This is the second time because I'm so rough. I cried when I saw that it had been restored to its original beauty. Thank you all at The Diamond Source! read more

Marco is the man! He made my custom engagement ring, and we were so happy with the result that we came back for our wedding bands. Highly recommend! read more

We have been shopping here for 11 years. Marco's diamonds are the most beautiful by far. He is excellent to work with, and so is Dave. Absolutely gorgeous diamonds, and we looked everywhere before we bought. When my diamonds were lost by my 4 year old, Marco worked with us to help replace them. We love this place! read more

My husband and I been in the market for a diamond to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Planning ahead, we had been on the hunt for months! We always came back to the quality of Marco's diamonds! We bought my first diamond from The Diamond Source and had always been so pleased that we referred family, who also bought the most beautiful diamonds we had ever seen! I am now the very proud owner of a gorgeous fiery diamond that takes my breath away every time I look at it! Marco, Fannie, and David know their business, and they take exceptional pride in selling only the very BEST, and wanting their customers to be breathless upon taking ownership of their new purchase. If you want a stand out diamond, one that stuns, one that makes 99% of all the other diamond rings look run of the mill, The Diamond Source is the place for you. You will not be disappointed in your investment; except that you waited so long to visit Marco, Fannie, and David! read more

My now husband purchased my engagement ring here. The cut of the diamond is fabulous, and the staff here is great. When it came time to get our wedding bands we started to shop around. Big mistake. I wound up having a custom platinum band made to match my engagement ring. It fits perfectly, looks beautiful, and cost much less than we were quoted at other jewelry stores. read more

Loved our experience buying a new wedding set here. David, Fanny and Marco were all patient, professional and honest. They took their time looking through their catalogues at different options that I had to replace my broken platinum wedding set. There was no pressure and we felt well taken care of. I picked up my new ring set today and couldn't be happier. read more

When my Fiance and I started looking at rings we were both clueless about diamonds and what the difference was between a diamond that they sell you at Jared (or anywhere in the mall) and a "good" diamond that is actually worth the money that they are asking for. Through what felt like endless shopping we learned what made a diamond "good" quality by using the 4c's scale that just about every jewelry store uses. The day that we walked into the Diamond Source in Old Town I was immediately overwhelmed by the beauty and quality of their diamonds and the rings they had on display. I had never seen so much genuine sparkle in any of the previous stores we had been in. All of Marco's diamonds are GIA certified and cut by him the "master cutter" himself! We worked closely with David and Marco while designing my ring and they couldn't have been more helpful, and most of all caring and understanding of any worries or concerns that we had. They were willing to change anything and answer all of my many questions just to make sure that we were both happy in the end. When the day came and Mario proposed to me, I still had not actually seen my ring till this moment, and when he opened the box I was speechless! It was more amazingly beautiful than I EVER could have imagined or dreamed. We were beyond happy with the service and overall results that we received at the Diamond Source. Marco and his fantastic team make you feel like part of the family every time you walk through their door. If you are wanting to give your someone special a breathtaking gift this holiday or finally pop the question make no mistake that this is the place where you want to go. You will NOT be disappointed, I promise! Not a day goes by that someone doesn't stop me and compliment me on my ring, because it is truly a magnificent work of art. read more

The Diamond Source - I love how much my ring sparkles in every light!!! - Jewelry Near Me - San Diego, California

We used to live in Carlsbad and we first bought a diamond wedding ring at TDS back in 2007 and then another diamond ring from them in 2010. Each time we were provided with excellent service and no pressure sales. The diamond rings have received plenty of compliments and have never needed repair. We now live in Arizona and just revisited Marco and the staff at The Diamond Source. We were looking for a diamond bracelet and have looked everywhere else for something unique and original but couldn't find it. So we decided that the next time we were in San Diego that we would visit TDS again. Marco and the staff remembered us and soon we were catching up on things. Of course they had many very unique items to choose from and after we decided on one of them they gave us a killer deal that was too good to pass up. Just like old times. We highly recommend them - try them out and you won't be disappointed! read more

We are very happy with the service at Diamond Source. After a bad experience at a traditional franchise jewelry store we went to Diamond Source and experienced a stellar difference in service. Dave helped us pick out my engagement ring and provided excellent information and service. We didn't feel any pressure to 'close' the deal and were very happy to purchase. Our experience was so good that we went back a few months later to purchase my wedding band. We have been going back ever since to get my ring cleaned and the service continues to be good! read more

Absolutely love these guys. My fiance and I came here last June to look for engagement rings (not knowing anything about rings, diamonds, or jewelry in general), and they were so wonderful in helping me figure out what I wanted and were able to help me find a ring that I love. 9 months down the road, I managed to slightly bend the ring and lose one of the tiny diamonds on the band. I brought the ring back into them, and they fixed the bent part of the band, cleaned the ring, AND replaced the tiny diamond for no cost!!! They really have the best customer service, and you feel like they truly value and appreciate your business. read more

We purchased my wedding and engagement ring from The Diamond Source 18 years ago. I needed to update our appraisal for insurance purposes. Not only did 'David give me a complementary appraisal but he also made my rings look like they did 18 years ago. Everyone who works at the Diamond Source is top notch and they only provide top-quality jewelry. I would not hesitate to recommend the Diamond Source to anyone who's looking for fine jewelry. read more

Unbelievable quality, excellently priced! I love the place and I trust the place. The jewelry from DS just lights my wife up! I get as much pleasure from watching her reaction as I do anything. She just loves the jewelry. As she's gotten different pieces over the years, her reaction is always--the longer she looks at the piece, the more she likes it. Everything is of the highest quality. Thanks, Marco, Fannie & Dave. read more

this place is the best. my husband and i hate shopping, and hate being pressured by salespeople. my father is a salesman. if he tried to sell me something, i'd probably hate him too. these people are not salesmen. they are the kindest, most gentle, hands-off (I cannot emphasize the hands-off factor enough, but in a good way) business that we have ever experienced. My husband had a ring on hold at Robbins Bros. for me, but had second thoughts after super-pressured sales tactics. The fantastic staff at the Diamond Source had such patience to allow him to design a unique ring for me based on a few different designs he liked at the store. My ring is perfect. Needless to say, when it was time to buy my husband's ring, I went to the Diamond Source. I saw a ring I liked in a metal too expensive for my budget, but they were happy to make an identical ring for me in white gold. Before our wedding, almost 9 months later, they cleaned and spruced up my ring for free. No pressure, ever. These people are the best. read more

Quality and Service are top notch at The Diamond Source. Carmen is always polite and helpful. Marco made the purchase easy and strives to keep us happy returning customers. read more

I just picked up my rings after their final cleaning for my wedding and I could not be happier with the outcome. We came to The Diamond Source by recommendation and they do amazing work. I had diamonds from my grandmother's wedding ring that they worked into a custom design along with the gorgeous sapphire we bought from them. One of the diamonds from my grandmother's ring was a replacement and smaller than the other three. You can't tell the difference in the setting they made. The customer service, creativity, and workmanship is truly superb. I have recommended them to everyone I know. In fact, they were able to put new diamonds into my grandmother's setting for my sister. I very rarely give reviews, but I have to rave about The Diamond Source. Their care to detail and working with you is amazing. They do not over charge. Their gems are genuine and they are very picky about what they select, which gives you the best quality possible for a reasonable price. Thank you so much for my engagement ring and wedding ring that I will cherish and look at every day for the rest of my life!!! read more

The Diamond Source - The amazing custom job!!! - Jewelry Near Me - San Diego, California

The Diamond Source has the most beautiful diamonds, settings, and jewelry I have ever seen! I first visited the Old Town store 8 years ago and from the first moment I walked in I saw jewelry I had never seen anywhere else before. I am a customer for life! Marco, David, and Carmen are SO friendly and go above and beyond with providing the best customer experience and customer service. We recently purchased one of Marco's masterpieces, a custom design, cushion cut ring. It's stunning! Thank you Diamond Source! read more

Stopped by today to get my ring cleaned & I was reminded what beautiful & great quality jewelry they have here. Got engagement & wedding rings here back in 1999. Still the same nice owners & staff. Their diamonds & gemstones are really beautiful. After I got my ring cleaned it is sparkling & beautiful again, too. I would not hesitate to buy from them again. read more

My husband and I purchased our wedding rings here in back 2007 after being referred by a friend. Since then, I try to go back every year to have the setting checked and ring cleaned. Each time, I am greeted in a warm and friendly was as if they remember exactly who I am (who knows...maybe they do). Most recently, I asked David about my options to 'upgrade' my eternity band and he had some great design ideas. They take great pride in their workmanship and their customer service..which is why I keep going back. Would highly recommend to anyone who was looking to purchase beautiful, unique pieces in a no-pressure environment from a very trust worthy jeweler, read more

After five years of marriage, I decided to add three more diamonds to my diamond band. I went back to where my custom rings were purchased, The Diamond Source. They do not disappoint! I received my custom platinum half eternity band back today, and I cannot take my eyes off of it. I have tried to take pictures, but pictures truly do not do it justice. The cut, clarity, and color of the diamonds at Diamond Source are unmatched to any other I've seen. They use only ideal cut diamonds. Thank you again, Diamond Source!! read more

The minute I walked into the store I felt so welcomed and comfortable, Dave is the friendliest guy you can meet. My fiance purchased my engagement ring here and it's the most beautiful ring I could have ever wished for. The diamonds are such great quality they sparkle in the sun as if my ring was a disco ball. I came here last week to drop off my ring to start the process of making my wedding bands, I wouldn't go anywhere else. The way my engagement ring came out I have no doubt my wedding bands are going to come out perfectly gorgeous. Their professional fantastic service really shows in all their jewelry. Thank Diamond Source for everything! read more

I have a STUNNING 2 carat round solitaire engagement ring thanks to David, Marco, and Carmen!!!!! This ring is a dream ring. I had searched all the usual retail stores, and scoured the internet, and did not find anything I truly loved and wanted to treasure forever. My fiance' let me pick out exactly what I wanted, because I am extremely particular and research everything. I HIGHLY recommend Diamond Source. You will not be disappointed. Start here first and don't waste months looking elsewhere! They can design any ring you want, and ship them for you. I will send my fiance' here for my wedding band as well. The price was SO reasonable! I can't emphasize that enough. Marco is true artist, and you don't get just any diamond here you get THE DIAMOND. My engagement ring sparkles like no diamond I have seen before, and is nicknamed "The ring". I couldn't be more thrilled or blessed to have been able to work with them to have the ring I have dreamed of at an affordable price!!! read more

I shopped around at least five different engagement ring/jewelry stores in San Diego before coming to the Diamond Source. Every other store that i visited i just couldn't see the diamonds sparkle. In LED or Florescent lighting i couldn't see them shine and even in sunlight i couldn't see them shine. When i got to the Diamond Source i couldn't believe how much every single diamond they had sparkled. The quality was just amazing. I worked with Dave and Marco in picking out the perfect setting and then matching it with the perfect diamond. They were able to custom make my engagement ring and fit it with an incredible diamond that out-did every other diamond i saw at the other jewelers. My fiance gets stopped absolutely everywhere we go people demanding to see her ring and it blinds everyone who sees it. Couldn't be happier. I will be back shopping at the Diamond Source without question for every other piece of jewelry i need. Amazing service and incredible quality. read more

Diamond Source is the BEST! We stumbled across this place 20 years ago when we were in the market to buy our wedding rings and now it's the only place we trust. We drive from Temecula to get our rings cleaned and checked. The entire staff is so friendly and definitely not pushy. They will help you pick the right setting and stones that work best for you. Definitely worth a trip! You won't be disappointed! read more
