    My wife's ring after it was repaired.
    Chris T.

    I've bought a few pieces of jewelry here over the years and Love them. Recently my wife hit her hand on something and bent her wedding ring so I took it back in to see if it could be repaired. They said to leave it with them for an hour. I walked around Old Town and when I came back they handed me the Ring and it looked like new! I asked what I owed them and they said nothing. After 30+ years they repaired it for free! That's great customer service!

    Marco and Fannie are awesome! They helped me to select my dream sapphire ring with a reasonable price. The picture cannot justify how beautiful and sparkly the ring is! I am forever grateful to both of them and the diamond source store.

    Caring, passionate, and personalized. Marco and his daughter did a phenomenal job in helping our ring come to fruition. His superior knowledge of the diamond trade and willingness to work with the individual is immediately known when you get there. An uncommon virtue not found with other jewelers who are just looking for a sale or pushing low quality lab diamonds. A repeat customer for life, my fiancé and I could not be more pleased with the result and the experience at Diamond Source. A cut above.

    We have purchased earrings and our engagement and wedding bands here in 2005. I still visit 1-2 times a year to have them cleaned and it's one of my favorite things about our purchase from Mar. The quality is extraordinary and my pieces from the diamond source still shine like they are brand new!

    In 1997 my fiancé and I went to the Diamond source to select our wedding rings. 26 years later we had my anniversary band made for our 25 years. I couldn't be happier with the end product. My ring is beautiful and like brand new. I highly recommend the skill and talent of the Diamond Source! Thank you Marco

    Thank you Marco Levi! We Love your work!

    We've been customers 20 years ago when we upgraded our original wedding ring. Marco Levi and company is fantastic and are know for their quality work. If you want jewelry that will last a lifetime, please consider The Diamond Source in Old Town San Diego.

    Absolutely LOVE this jewelry store. They are family owned and such nice people. They make this shopping experience so memorable and are willing to create any diamond ring you have in mind. However, they have beautiful and extremely unique rings to choose from already!! It's a quality diamond ring and was a beautiful experience picking it out with my fiancé. Will definitely be back for my wedding band as well :)

    My beautiful wedding ring still sparkling after almost 30 years!

    We have been happy customers of The Diamond Source for almost 30 years. Marco, Fannie & Dave are the best in the business & treat every single person with respect. I think there is a misconception that you have to be a high roller for this store & there could be nothing further from the truth. When my husband bought my 1st diamond engagement ring from The Diamond Source he did not have a lot of money to spend. He bought a beautiful but small ring for me & years later when we had a little more income we were able to trade that 1st diamond in for something with a little more sparkle. I had custom earrings made from here & numerous ring repairs over the years ( I'm hard on my jewelry) & the guys are just great!! I recommend The Diamond Source to ever single person I know!! I'll never buy fine jewelry anywhere but here! You won't be disappointed!!

    Our awesome 2  plus carat Sapphire and platinum engagement ring!

When we arrived we were handed off to David (the owner) with no explanation. The appointment felt rushed and impersonal from the start. David didn't ask basic questions like our names, budget, or where we were in the process, and offered little guidance. We are early in the process, so I was hoping to try on different styles to get a sense of my preferences. But after trying on just a couple rings there was no effort to understand my priorities or suggest alternatives. I felt like I had to push just to see more options. Our 2PM appointment was essentially over by 2:05PM. I left feeling sad and disappointed that such an important and special moment was handled with so little care. Before going here, I recommend looking at the other 1 star reviews -- they are honest and I should've listened.

And upon entering the store, I was greeted and only waited a couple of minutes before Linda, who was the sweetest person and answered all my questions about getting a diamond set into a ring. I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I had no clue what I was looking for. Just something that would look good. I was browsing online late one night and bought a loose diamond so now I had to treat myself with getting a ring. But anyways, Linda picked out two rings. I told her I was a modern person and nothing with a vintage feel. The first one she picked out was beautiful and matched my style. Not only did the ring come out better than I imagined. They sized my ring, cleaned it and set the diamond all within less than an hour. Customer service here is amazing. I'm so happy Yelp brought me to Kim Quang jewelry. Most importantly, pricing was fair and upfront and if you aren't there to get jewelry fixed and you want to buy some. They had amazing jewelry throughout their store. Definitely come here and you will find whatever you are looking for.

I saw a birthstone toi et moi ring on Ms. Hailey Bieber and I knew that's exactly where I wanted to take inspiration from. I found the same style, but in my daughters' birthstones, on Diamondful's Etsy page. After reading through reviews, I wanted to make my purchase here. My husband had his reservations about ordering something so expensive online, so we ended up going to a local jeweler. The local jeweler said they would be able to make the same ring for a similar price, so we considered it. However, when I went home to inspect our quote, I noticed that the aquamarine would be an imitation stone. After some light research, I learned that imitation stones can be made of plastic. At that point, I honestly felt deceived, because the jeweler didn't take the time to educate my husband and I on what we would be potentially buying. If we are going to purchase a piece of jewelry that is supposed to commemorate 7+ years of marriage and our 2 kids, it shouldn't have plastic in it. I told my husband that my gut told me we should go online, so he told me to reach out to Diamondful. I messaged Armin and within the first hour, I knew I made the right choice. Armin is extremely fast and efficient in communicating. He's exceptionally knowledgeable and honest when it comes to quality, durability, aesthetics, and practicality. He's also patient and thorough when educating clients like us (very limited jewelry knowledge). We are also so appreciative of his generosity, as he passed on his savings to us for one of the stones to keep us within our budget. The passion he has for his work is really evident in the customer service that he provides. Thank you so much Armin! It was a pleasure working with you and we can't wait to do it again soon!
