My girlfriend and I were in the market for an engagement ring. At first, we had no idea where to begin. We went to another local jeweler but they failed to mention on the phone their showcase was not open during COVID-19. After leaving slightly disappointed, we looked up other jewelers nearby and saw Blue Diamond had great reviews. We got in the car and headed straight there. The moment we stepped into the Manhattan Beach location, we were treated like old friends and with the utmost respect. We were newbies to the diamond process and Altaf explained in detail regarding the four C’s and how he could work with us including how each ring is custom designed. He also just talked to us about life, telling us his story and asking us about ours. We were there for an hour and a half simply talking! We explained we had an appointment at Brilliant Earth the following week and Altaf suggested we come back after that appointment and he would have some diamonds to show us. Fast forward to the next week, we left Brilliant Earth disappointed again.
Showing up at Blue Diamond after Brilliant Earth was like a breath of fresh air. During our visit Altaf showed my girlfriend and I two great pear diamonds, but I decided I wanted to sleep on the options. I went home and did my research and Altaf followed up with any questions I had. I made a second appointment that I went to alone and Altaf showed me another four pear diamonds. However, I still was very picky. Altaf and I had detailed conversations about what I was looking for. We both agreed to wait for another shipment to come in. Not once was Altaf pushy, and he listened with care to every thought or hesitation.
During the days in between the shipment, Altaf made sure I was not stressing or anxious. During the third appointment, Altaf found the perfect pear diamond that hit every criteria I was looking for! From there, I was introduced to Kali, the designer. She was also very respectful and a great listener. My girlfriend had an exact setting drawn out and Kali was able to make the exact drawing come to fruition. I had a tight schedule for the ring and Altaf and Kali were able to deliver before the target date. Days leading up to the date, Kali kept me in the loop about the design process and was able to provide CAD images for the ring.
Engagement ring shopping is a stressful process but with Blue Diamond, those anxieties and stresses are erased. They treat you with the same care regardless if you are paying $35,000 or $10. The team will give you their undivided attention and give you the highest customer service. Don’t shop anywhere else except for Blue Diamond. You will leave with a beautiful jewelry and life-long friendships. Thank you...
Read moreIf you're looking for high quality, long lasting and stunning jewelry all in one package, look no further than Blue Diamond Jeweler's. My fiancee, Cynthia, and I found Blue Diamond Jeweler's on Yelp randomly when searching for our wedding bands. We stopped in one day without an appointment and Debbie, who was extremely welcoming and pleasant, recommended that we make a follow-up appointment with, Altaf, the owner of the company. I was at first surprised that she recommended the direct owner meet with us just for band selection, but she insisted as she mentioned that Altaf loves meeting couples who are in love and it energizes him and equally creates an extremely positive experience when choosing wedding bands.
We proceeded to make our appointment and I did not know what to expect. We arrived at our appointment a week later and as soon as we stepped in and met and saw Altaf we knew we made the right decision. Altaf is not only extremely intelligent, open minded, and professional, he alludes a positive energy that I find hard to describe in words. We spent a total of 2+ hours talking about life, marriage, and happiness which segwayed into designing our custom wedding bands. I say this with complete honestly, Altaf made me wish that he was my uncle, he's someone who I could see as a great role model in life..
Initially, the prices Altaf mentioned were out of our budget but after we told him our limits, he promised us he would keep our rings in whatever budget we wanted. My fiancee got the exact design she wanted in the budget she wanted, while I wanted a more precious metal my quote came out to be a bit over my budget and estimate from other jewelers but Altaf's personalty assured me that I would be getting a high quality band at the best price he could offer without short changing anyone involved.
While we have not received our final rings as of yet, I feel extremely confident in recommending Blue Diamond Jeweler's for anyone who is looking for a high quality, compassionate jeweler who you can start a life long journey with. I'm not extremely well off and successful, financially, as of yet but when I am, Altaf will be getting all of my custom orders. In addition, I know I will recommend friends and family to their...
Read moreBlue Diamond is family! Our connection to Kali and Blue Diamond started with my sister and her now husband. My sister’s husband had a vision for a custom-made engagement ring for my sister. And Kali delivered! She helped design a stunner ring for my sister. My mom then got interested and redesigned her own ring with Kali. Again, showstopper! She designed a beautiful ring and family and friends still comment to me on how beautiful my mom’s ring is. Then, my turn! My fiancé at the time knew he had to go with Kali and Blue Diamond given how well they treated the rest of my family. Kali took my fiance’s limited knowledge on what I wanted in a ring (to be fair, I didn’t know either!) and planned for months on my engagement ring – all without me knowing! Let me tell you, I was shocked when I saw my ring shining in a special lighted box in New Orleans! Kali and my fiancé at the time did so well. Kali then did my cousin and her fiance’s engagement ring and wedding bands. So special Kali is so deep into my family! When it came down to our wedding day, Kali took care of us! She touched base with us often, reminding us of ideal timelines to ensure our wedding bands would be ready in time. She diligently worked with me, having no vision of rings, suggesting “dainty” and “darling” looks I was trying to go for. Once we decided, Kali kept me posted through texts, including when the wax mold arrived to try on my finger and my actual band arrived. When we arrived, Kali got our rings in order. And even helped out with renting some nice jewelry from the store for my big day! It really made me feel special and put my big day’s look just a bit more glammed of a version of me! Thank you, Blue Diamond! Can’t wait to see what other life’s moments you’ll help celebrate in my life – and my extended family...
