What Some of Our Happy Clients Have to Say

"Amazing experience purchasing engagement ring and I'll definitely be going back for wedding bands soon! I recently purchased a diamond engagement ring from Diamond Designs, and the experience was beyond excellent from start to finish. I visited/checked out several jewelers running the gamut from online to chain to local shop. The owner at Diamond Designs, Dee, was incredible and took the time to give me a lesson in diamonds that was far beyond what any other jewelers even began to offer... Dee didn't just get the ring right, he literally made my perfect proposal happen."
MK
"I love this store! They have great staff & a wide variety of beautiful jewelry! They are always helpful & stand behind their merchandise. A++ customer service & quality jewelry! I'm a customer for life & recommend Diamond Design to anyone looking for a great jeweler."
DM
"Knowledgeable, experienced and friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Exceptional quality. Bought my wife her engagement ring in 2011 and I've been coming back ever since for ALL of my jewelry purchases. Never disappointed. If they don't have what you need, they will find it ASAP for you. I feel like a valued customer because THEY make me feel that way every time I'm in there."
RR
"I've been working with Diamond Designs for years. Dee, Joe and the rest of the staff are wonderful to work with. I've bought jewelry, and I've also work with them to design some beautiful custom pieces that people consistently compliment me on. I've brought many pieces to be fixed, reset or redesign... The quality of jewelry is excellent, they are very knowledgeable gemologists, and their prices are fair... To be honest, I'm treated like family when I walk through their doors."
JZ
"My wife and I looked for months to find a matching wedding band for her engagement ring we bought several years ago. We shopped around a bit, and the first 4 jewelers we went to wanted to make a custom band for tons more than we paid for the engagement ring, when all we wanted was to find the matching band... we were frustrated. Diamond Designs found the matching band for us within minutes of looking and had it delivered to us via mail in a discrete box, giving us updates the whole time. This is a model business!"
BH
"I cannot begin to overstate how amazing my experience with this retailer was... 48 hours before I was planning on proposing to my girlfriend I began a frantic search for local, brick and mortar... When I arrived at Diamond Designs at 1:30PM that day, Deepak greeted me with a plethora of items... within FORTY MINUTES of calling him he had around five different options ready for me to look over, all very comparable to my original online order- including budget!!- and all (potentially) available within a 24 hour period."
