The highest quality for the absolute best price describe what you will get from Don of My Diamond Jewelry Store. You absolutely cannot find better quality for the price, whether you are at a local shop or with any of the online retailers. On top of the quality and price you get personal service with Don's knowledge and experience, which is upwards of 40 years (sorry Don, I'm showing your age). I have been working with Don myself for 15+ years. We started with a stunning custom engagement ring and wedding band where he melted the gold from each of my parents' wedding rings to create a gorgeous diamond wedding band that matched my engagement ring seamlessly. Since then I, as well as my mother and husband, have made many purchases from Don. He is a man of integrity and after so many years I have come to learn there is no point shopping anywhere else or even getting a price elsewhere. Being from Ohio, we drive 2+ hours to his shop - he is well worth the drive. But, I only make the drive if I need him to work on one of my pieces while I wait. Otherwise, I am completely comfortable working with Don via phone, email and mail to make purchases. He always steers me in the right direction including my most recent purchase of a pair of GIA-certified 2 ct. TW diamond studs. Not only did he guide me through the purchase process with his typical no-pressure style but he also helped me to significantly bring down the cost with a diamond stud trade-in from a prior purchase and paying me for gold that has sat in my jewelry box, unused, for over 20 years. I ended up with a spectacular set of diamond studs at a fraction of retail cost, plus Don gave me a set of fairly pricey backs, at no cost to me, that will keep me from losing an earring as I've done in the past. Go with Don, you...
Read moreThey do not make jewelry stores like this anymore. Don is more than a jeweler, he is a master craftsman, skilled at showing attention to the smallest details. My father passed away in December 2021 after 50 beautiful years of marriage to my mother. My mother has arthritis and due to changes in her joints she has not been able to remove her wedding rings for years. Because of circulation issues it became necessary to have the rings cut off of her hand. These rings are the most precious possession she has and I truly believe my father was watching over us when we found Don and My Diamond Jewelry Store. He carefully cut the rings off, preserving the inscription inside, and enlarged them so they could still be worn. Not only that, Don was familiar with the company that originally produced the rings and he restored the beautiful scallops and brushing design. Don returned the rings, displaying them in a classy ring box, in enough time for my mom to wear them to my son’s wedding. She cried upon seeing how beautiful they were again, just like the day my father proposed to her. At the wedding, I reached over and grasped my moms hand, touching her rings and we both smiled at each other knowing my father was with us in spirit. Thank you so much Don for your...
Read moreMy husband wanted to mark our 30th wedding anniversary with a new ring. It was supposed to be a surprise, but knowing him so well, secrets are rarely kept.
He settled on a three carrot diamond and shared what he was looking at. Though the settings were beautiful, none really spoke to me.
We agreed that I would visit some local jewelers to see if I could come up with something more meaningful.
This is when I met Donald.
I stopped in and he immediately made me feel comfortable and welcome. We discussed various settings and when I discribed what I wanted he was able to sketched some ideas for me to review.
He was not just selling me a ring, he was actually listening to what I wanted. He acted more like a consultant than someone in sales. There was no pressure and he was very patient with the little ideas that I would come up with along the way.
In addition to carefully designing my dream ring, he was very fast and I was able to get it all done before we flew out to celebrate our thirtieth this year.
My ring gets a lot compliments. If you are interested in feeling the same sense of pride when you go out, I suggest you give him a call.
You will be...
