Diamond Guy Hawaii — Local services in Honolulu

First and foremost, I want to call out that it REALLY helps to have done research prior to purchasing an engagement ring. You should have some idea on what the special person in your life would want and pictures are the best way to get that help in designing the proper ring (if you're going the custom route). This includes, but is not limited to, the setting, the setting material, prong design, diamond clarity/color/cut/size, even other features she might like - and most of all, ring size. Knowing details beforehand made the conversation much more enlightening than I ever imagined.

I spent a year sporadically researching options, keeping Moshe in my back pocket - turns out, he was the one I should've went to all along. Back in April, I contacted Moshe since the time was coming up fast. I googled that the turnaround time for a ring was typically 5-6 weeks and I was about 7 weeks out from the day I planned to propose. I needed to get with someone I knew people trusted and that just had a flawless attitude to getting high quality pieces completed - Moshe was my guy.

I chatted with him a bit on IG to explain what I'm looking for, got a quick quote, and asked about turnaround time before booking an appointment. When booking the official appointment, you need to provide a deposit (that gets credited to your total cost of the ring). This is when it gets serious so make sure you're ready to commit.

When I showed up to the appointment, I was greeted as if I were a family friend. Though I will recommend you inquire about the exact location of their office before you show up. It's impossible to find on Yelp at least to my knowledge and for security purposes, I think it's safe to leave that information out of my review as well, but that's something for you to keep in mind. Anyway, everyone is incredibly nice, they're quite literally like a family.

We sat down in Moshe's office where he asked a few basic questions before digging into the finer details about design. I had videos, pictures, and experiences to share (based on discussions I had with my girlfriend). Moshe walked me through the entire customization from diamond size (which I had already picked out prior to the appointment on his website), setting, prongs, and of course, budget and pricing. Most importantly, selecting a date-range for pickup (at least, in my case).

After designing, I got to meet Aunty M, who takes payment while Moshe got on the phone to get my order in the queue ASAP due to my time constraint. I was in the process of getting a fresh new credit card for this purchase so I put down a deposit on one card before paying two days later with the fresh one - kind of recommend this since you can end up using these points for a trip later, maybe even your honeymoon, who knows!

Come the week that we take off on this trip (proposing overseas), I called up the office to see how we were doing on time. After a bit of back and forth, we agreed on a pickup date one day before takeoff. That meant that I was clear to not only tell my parents it was happening, but to also ask for the blessing of my girlfriend's father.

Now that we're back, we downsized the ring by a full size so it'll fit my fiancée's finger better since the hint that I got early on about ring size was actually not accurate. I shared the story of the ring customization with her and let me tell you, it was quite an adventure, but she loves how it came out - it was literally the ideal design.

Thank you to Moshe and the team, the ring was perfect thanks to all of you for making it happen. She cannot take her eyes off it now, it's just...

Where do I start?? I have never written a review EVER.. But this one is a must considering that it is involves one of the most important events in my life.. It involves a ring.. Yes.. You guessed it. I was going to ask my girlfriend of 13 years to marry me. She has followed diamond guy's (Moshe) Instagram for a couple of years and saw his work. It looked ok.. Mostly because diamonds are shiny anyway..... She had a design in mind and I figured.. Hey why not email him with my intent to set up a meeting and see where it goes... I'm a local boy and I'm skeptical about everything.. I never make a purchase, let alone a big one like this without sleeping on it first.. Well, that changed.. Moshe texted me in less than 24 hours after sending him an email.. I made an appointment to meet him 2 days later.. I had a date set in mind about 4 weeks (Valentines weekend surprise) from the day he responded.He initially told me it would take 6 weeks to create a custom ring. So already I thought hmmm.. This is not gonna work out.

We had the meeting.. And let me tell you, when it comes to picking out a diamond ring Moshe is the most down to earth jeweler you will ever meet!! We kept things simple.. No beating around the bush.. Size, design, deliver date and most importantly price. By the end of the meeting we made a deal. I thought it was too good to be true because I never thought I could ever afford a ring without literally giving up my house. I walked out of his office confident and nervous Thinking.. I hope he understood the design I wanted... FAST FORWARD 4 weeks.. I get a call that my ring was ready to pick up... I ask that they send me pictures.. It looked great!! But wait... These are just pictures right... Soooo.. Let's see I how it really would look like in person............

He shows me the ring and ... BOOM..!! DROP THE MIC.. the ring was stunning.. It was even better than I expected... I couldn't believe how fricken badass the ring looked.. I couldn't wait to propose ( haha after 13 years) just to see the look on her face.. So the day comes and .. I asked her, with ring in hand of course... And yup.. She said yes..!!!!

If you are reading this review ... Look no further.. Moshe is the only person you should see if you are looking for an engagement ring.. Or any type of jewelry for that matter.. I'm sure he can create what ever your imagination can think of.. He is a master at his craft and I would recommend him to everyone I meet. TRUST ME!! This guys reputation is awesome for a reason.. And I am glad I have not only a trusted jeweler but a friend in the business.. BRADDA MOSHE, thanks for making this nerve racking time in my life so easy.. The ring is fricken BADASS.. And she couldn't be happier!! Pretty good for someone who never gets surprises right... A million thanks Moshe and you will be hearing from me again.. (Maybe some earrings...

I discovered Moshe on my girlfriends’ instagram. I was in the process of trying to find the perfect engagement ring for my girlfriend. Little did she know, I had been shopping all around the local jewelry stores – everywhere from Mom & Pop stores, to the national chains found in most malls. I had a general idea of what she wanted, but many of the retailers were either too pushy to sell a ring I was not 100% comfortable with, or were asking a price way too far outside my price range when I asked about building a custom ring.

Enter Moshe. He was in Hawaii, and I was not. Fed up with the bad luck I was having locally, I decided to reach out to Moshe. Definitely reluctant at first, I sent Moshe a long introductory email, stating my price range, diamond ideas (round vs. oval), setting and band ideas, expectations, etc. He was very quick to respond, and his customer interaction could not have been better. From his very first response, I fell in love with his passion about his work! His tone was genuine and I knew I was getting his best work! He explained to me (and later proved!), that customers who trust him are never disappointed! Through several months of emailing and text messages, Moshe took all of my inputs to build the most perfect ring for my fiancé. Rose gold was something I wanted, and it ended up being the most unique thing about the final product. It looks amazing.

I am so happy I contacted Moshe. My fiancé’s ring is simply stunning. Months have passed since my proposal, yet she still gets compliments on it nearly every day. Moshe was able to build my perfect engagement ring for a great price. When I had it appraised, the engagement ring was appraised to be thousands of dollars more than what Moshe charged me. Bottom line, if you are searching for the perfect engagement ring, Moshe is your guy. He will work with you, take all of your ideas/inputs/recommendations, and create a masterpiece. I couldn’t be happier. I recommend Moshe to everyone! ...
