I had a great experience working with Paul. He made it super easy. All I had to do was tell him what I was looking for and he set the wheels in motion. The ring turned out fantastic and my fiancé loves it. I could not recommend Paul and The Diamond World enough. Great prices! read more

Paul is the best around no doubt about it don't skimp on the quality. GO TO PAUL!! Wonderful experience as always

Saw Paul on a referral from a family friends long time jeweler in Kansas City for the "best diamond guy". I got an incredible diamond that was far better than I could have afforded anywhere else in size and quality. He was nice and helpful in showing a truly amazing diamond I knew I had to have. Bought it within 24 hours of seeing it and stare at the ring in my safe often, it is amazing. I am just waiting to propose at the right time and can't wait. read more

This guy is a total fraud. You won't save money here. He just lies on the appraisal to make you believe you're getting a great diamond and deal. Go to a reputable store, Paul is a crook. read more

I recently purchased an engagement ring from The Diamond World. Paul indicated he had 2 diamonds available from an estate sale, both of which were oval diamonds, G color, VS1 clarity, and excellent cut for a great price relative to what I saw on rarecarat.com. I purchased the ring in full (don't recommend) on my credit card (highly recommend). Paul then shipped the ring to my current address a few weeks later. When I received the ring, I immediately noticed the color appeared more yellow than what I imagined was "G" quality and the diamond was very loose in the setting, but the engagement was less than 5 days away and no way to address the issue. I reviewed the appraisal Paul sent from The Diamond World, and noticed that his own company appraised the diamond as an inferior color and clarity than what was invoiced (H color and VS2 Clarity), but for a far superior amount (50% higher). Then, I took the ring to a gemologist who listed 5+ irregularities of the diamond compared to what was quoted and appraised. Additionally, she googled the EGL number (STRONGLY recommend obtaining a GIA certification prior to purchasing and having the diamond appraised by a third-party, unaffiliated company) and the diamond was or had been recently listed for sale on eBay and the number inscription on the diamond did not include what would be standard EGL format. I called Paul and asked for a full refund, which took about a week to process. In the meantime, he asked to switch out my diamond with one of the quality he had originally invoiced. Paul was a recommendation by close family and friends, but having undergone the stress of this situation during one of the most important events of my life, my advice would be as follows (especially for all you fellas out there that have never purchased expensive jewelry, like me): 1. Buyer beware. 2. Obtain a GIA certificate (all true gemologists should abide by this standard). 3. Pay with credit card. 4. Have a third party appraise your diamond. 5. Read Google Reviews on the jeweler before you purchase :) read more

We love Paul! Good guy. Have bought jewelry from him for years. Would recommend him to anyone. Much better quality and service than any mall store by far. Go see him @ Diamond World! read more

Paul is amazing! He was recommended by a friend. He designed a custom engagement ring and it is INCREDIBLE!! The main stone is absolutely beautiful and he included some heirloom stones in the setting. He resized it maintaining the quality. I am in California and working with paul in Kansas City was easy and seamless. Thank you!! read more

Such a disappointment. Buyer BEWARE! This guy is a fraud. He sold us a diamond that was frankly yellow, with major inclusions and had phony papers that said it was a VS2 and a colorless stone. AVOID!!!! read more

I have used Paul for 8 years and he is on my speed dial. He can find me anything I need. He has great estate pieces and he does fabulous work getting my custom pieces again. People stop me on the street and ask me about my jewelry everyday. I would never go to anyone else. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Paul in finding the right engagement ring for my fiance. After going back and forth on what she would like, we finally ended up making a ring that I designed, and Paul was able to make it come to life! When picking out the diamond, he walked me through different options and we found the perfect stone at a great price. The diamond was GIA certified and compared with other wholesaler prices. He also accepted my trades to bring down my cost. Ultimately we are very happy. The only reason I didn't give a five star rating is that on a couple occasions he had to change/cancel an appointment last minute, which was only a minor inconvenience for me. But he will work within your needs and produce very positive results. read more

Paul is amazing! He will be forever forward our 'diamond guy'. Service is premium compared to a retail store. He did a custom piece and I get so many compliments! read more

An amazing experience and top-quality diamonds. Paul is extremely friendly, helpful, and not pushy one bit. I couldn't imagine a better experience. After visiting with him about engagement ring options and diamond styles, he was able to get many loose diamonds in the next day for me to look at and they all had rating certificates with them. After finding an amazingly clear diamond, he helped me design a ring to fit my own envisioned style and custom specifications. The ring was hand-crafted and I was even able to approve the carved mold before the ring was made. This is a service I couldn't come close to finding anywhere else. He even made sure that the auxiliary diamonds on the ring were the same amazing color as the center diamond. All in all, Paul at The Diamond World has been a pleasure to work with and the quality of the diamond and ring I purchased are phenomenal. read more
