I have been wanting to write this for awhile

I have been wanting to write this for awhile, I am sorry for not telling you sooner how grateful I am: Yes, it is everything I had hoped for and more: a true work of art. Hello to all of you who helped us from the moment we walked in your door until the day my love asked me to be his wife. I want to say THANK YOU. My ring, you help build, resembles the beauty of my Scott's heart, the sparkle of his soul and the grace in his being. What we designed with your expertise exemplifies our togetherness and it could not have been done without you. July 4th with fireworks over his head Mr. Scott C. on the roof of my house promised to never leave me and I promised to love him as his wife forever. Thank you so very much for creating the beauty we see in each other, in my ring:

Above and Beyond the call of Customer Service...

Above and Beyond the call of Customer Service... Was recommended to this store through a friend after explaining to him about the horrible experiences I was having at other local engagement ring stores. Of course I went on Yelp! to see the reviews and surprised how many people praised their service and prices. Took the trip to Downtown LA Jewelry District and saw the store is centrally located upstairs in a beautiful skyscraper. It wasn't on the corner of a busy LA street. I spoke with Ned about various rings and he properly educated me on designs and diamonds. This was around August 2009. We chatted for over an hour and looked at rings with an intricate design and "classic" look. After finding a wonderful ring I put a deposit. Unfortunately, I was recalled back to military and shipped to Afghanistan for 8 months with my Marines. I had limited electricity, but NED kept in contact through the deployment. He took photos and sent them to my email. I was very appreciative. I was hesitant of the diamond size and he helped me pick a new size and clarity to fit my price range. He anticipated my return back to the US in July 2010 and had the ring ready for me. NED remembered my face and name of soon to be Fiance. He recalled our prior emails and remembered everything we talked about over a year ago. I have never felt so respected or appreciative by a company. It was amazing to see how much they care and went out of the way to accomodate my needs. I received a killer deal and I'm sure NED took a hit on the final price, but he sealed a great deal. I have multiple friends ready to purchase engagement rings and will recommend Bridal Rings Company. Most of all, I will recommend NED and the staff. I plan on purchasing the wedding band and male ring here in the near future. Thanks for staying true to customer service and taking care of my Fiance and myself. Oohrah and Semper Fi Tom

Living in Orange County it is know

Living in Orange County it is know that the jewelery district in Los Angeles is the place to go for selection and value in jewelery. I had a budget in mind and the criteria required to make the purchase. I also had a good idea of what to expect. We came upon the Bridal Rings Company by word of mouth. We liked the store and the people but chose to spend our day looking, shopping and obtaining as many comparisons as we could. All this let us back to the Bridal Ring Company where we purchased our ring. After the process of comparison that I do with most of my big purchases, I can honestly say we are so satisfied and delighted with the ring we got and the overall experience of dealing with this company. Jay and Ned, the two people we dealt with, were a pleasure to do business with. But don't take my word for it and check it out yourself.

My boyfriend....correct that, my Fiance !

My boyfriend....correct that, my Fiance(!) recently surprised me by proposing a few weeks back. The ring is the most beautiful engagement ring! He had apparently done a lot of research, including here on Yelp, and narrowed it down to a few places in the Jewelry district. After visiting a few places where he felt the staff was a bit too pushy, he went into Bridal Rings Company. That was his last stop! George was fantastic and spent a lot of time with him and eventually helped him choose THE ring. George is extremely patient, knowledgeable and friendly! We went back after the engagement to get the ring re-sized. George not only helped us again, but remembered my Fiance's name and mine (he has an unusual name so it is impressive!)! While they re-sized the ring, George recommended Casey's Irish pub around the corner for us to grab lunch which we gladly did - ended up spending a few hours there enjoying the food and drinks! But I digress. I was in the area so I went back to see George today to pick up our appraisal and he remembered me after meeting me only once! He knew my fiance's name and mine all over again. While we talked, he offered to clean my ring again - it's always extra beautiful when they clean it! George and the rest of the staff are extremely friendly, always offering water or coffee and letting us know how long services will take (never very long at all!). They are patient and really know their diamonds - they won't pressure you to buy anything you don't want and really listen to what you want before helping you find the perfect ring. We would highly recommend coming here for any diamond needs.

Paula is GREAT!!! This place is amazing!!!

Paula is GREAT!!! This place is amazing!!! I came here with my boyfriend looking for my engagement ring and had a great experience!!! Our first time in the store, we were promptly greeted by Paula who was very knowledgeable, friendly, and never pushy. Paula took the time to fully educate us about diamonds, different settings and metals, being that we were both new to the process. Paula took the time to get to know us, what we liked, and what we really wanted out of a ring. I fell in love with a beautiful vintage-style setting on our first visit. On our second visit Paula worked with us to have it fit our budget. She picked out a superb stone in both size and quality and with her extraordinary efforts she definitely made it happen. Their price ended up being far lower in price and much, much higher in quality and craftsmanship/detail than other jewelers we had visited. Thank you Paula and all at Bridal Rings!!! Advice: Bridal Rings is definitely the place to come. We look forward to doing business with them again in the future.

People are constantly complimenting my ring...

People are constantly complimenting my ring...and it never gets old. Paula is fantastic! I liked her right away, especially when she tried to talk us OUT of spending $$ on certain aspects of a diamond...that's when I knew we were in good hands. I initially came in with a particular engagement ring design in mind, but am so grateful she talked me out of it. In fact, we ended up getting a band exactly like one she was wearing on her own finger (not her wedding band) because i found it absolutely perfect. And bear in mind, I'm not one to own anything that someone else has...but this was an exception. Plus, she had about 3 or 4 stacked ones of varying sizes. I look forward to going back for cleanings just to see her. I highly recommend. You'll have a great experience and probably save $ in the meantime.

My partner loves her ring!!! And I mean she

My partner loves her ring!!! And I mean she keeps showing it to everyone and tries to blind others with the sparkle. This place is great! We came in late on a Saturday without an appointment while they were super busy and they took great care of us. My partner was looking for something big. I wanted to make her happy but was worried about the final price. Bridal Ring Company made it happen. Not only is the ring gorgeous it was by far the best value out there, and we shopped around. We also felt totally welcomed as a lesbian couple. I was able to get her the 1.5 carat she wanted, stay within my price range, and she said yes! What more could you ask for.

Bridal Rings "rocks" rocks--and that's the bottom line.

Bridal Rings "rocks" rocks--and that's the bottom line. First of all, the personal service is unsurpassed. If for some reason the staff cannot get to you immediately (like the Jeanne P. princess who posted on 6/3), it's because the place is being patronized, even after hours, with many new and return customers who come in to purchase jewelry that represents milestones in their lives. They WANT to be there because they know they'll be taken care of with all the time they need, never rushed and never pressured to purchase. If you don't want to wait even a second, call first and make an appointment so they can anticipate your arrival. Second, the quality and range of what they have to offer is unbelievable. Some of the larger carat designer rings, along with loose stones, are in the vault and not necessarily on display. All you have to do is ask and you'll receive. The company can be completely trusted as far as information, stone assessment and value, and saying that in the diamond industry is a huge statement. The entire staff is at your disposal--especially Nina, Cathy and the owner Jay (who, by the way, picks up the phone himself when it rings and does not rely on an assistant to answer). Now, that's dedication. Jay is always ready and willing to offer his expertise and gracious service. He will bend over backwards to make a customer happy, and this includes gestures like complimentary extra service, repairs and additional discounts designed to make the customer feel special and taken care of. This is simply because he's a consummate businessman, and not because he's "bribing" folks for a return visit. Believe me, if for any reason you want to compare prices or shop elsewhere, he WANTS you to go wherever you feel comfortable. He's that confidant in what he has to offer--and what he has to offer is superlative.

Went to LA Jewelry district looking for engagement ring with two

Went to LA Jewelry district looking for engagement ring with two wedding bands. We had already shopped around a bit in orange county and wanted to finish off looking in LA before we made up our mind. I researched online which stores had good ratings to narrow down the field. We started at Bridal Rings Co simply because they were the first to open on Saturday. We were there when they opened the doors and still needed to set up. They offered us a seat and coffee while we waiited. Cathy waited on us and helped us narrow down to a few settings as we already had a good idea of what we were looking for. Then we looked at several diamonds with varying degrees of clarity and color before making a decision. Cathy came up with an excellant choice that fit the ring perfectly (1.48 cw). Then Jay came in and they negotiated a price. Jay spoke to us of their guarantee and exchange policy for the diamond. At this point we decided to go look around a bit, since Bridal Rings was the first place we visited. Within 3 hours we were back to buy the bridal rings that Cathy had set aside for us. At the other stores we did not get the sense of family, and service, but mostly the quality of the rings were superior to the others. They sized the ring, set the stone, the wedding bands will be custom made to our specifications as they did not have what we wanted in stock. Everything met our expectations, the price was more than fair. Jay was very supportive to our needs and made the deal happen. One more note, in all the places we visited Bridal Rings was the busiest all day long, that tells me that they are the place to shop. Cathy was great and informative, listened to what we wanted to fill our needs perfectly. :) Thanks to Jay and his staff for my perfect ring!

Let me start of saying that I researched and researched

Let me start of saying that I researched and researched diamonds before I actually went shopping. I can't tell you how many places I went. I went from Newport beach, to Fullerton, to cypress, to Westminster, all the local malls, to hill street in Los Angeles. I wrote down everything about the diamonds and settings I saw at every place. Some prices were decent, but the Bridal Ring Company won. The service at this place is astonishing. Let me tell you I knew that I was getting on the nerves of people, but Jay, his wife and everyone else that worked at the Bridal Ring Co. still were so helpful and pleasant. I chose this place because I knew they would be around forever. The life time guarantee of cleaning the rings for free and replacing any side diamond on a band for free sold me. Just know that this place is busy because everyone knows this place and wants to purchase from them. They are like Tiffany's but waaaaaay better prices. My advice..... DON'T shop around and just go straight to the Bridal Ring Co. You will not be disappointed trust me.

I found Bridal Rings totally by accident when shopping

I found Bridal Rings totally by accident when shopping for a diamond ring for my girlfriend. Fortunately, I met Cathy and she was the best! She was courteous, patient, and very nice about everything. I didn't know very much about diamond rings and she helped educate me but wasn't pushy or anything. She gave me options and let me decide on the best ring for my budget and my needs. I am so happy that I met Cathy and found Bridal Rings Company and I highly recommend anyone shopping for a ring to go there and ask for Cathy! Thanks for everything!!

The people at the Bridal Rings Company are seriously the nicest

The people at the Bridal Rings Company are seriously the nicest people, ever! We shopped around at Tiffany's, as well as the other local competitors in the Jewelry District that are listed here on Yelp as well. And we knew almost immediately that Bridal Rings Company was a little different. In a good way. :) Customer Service: It was the only place that offered us seats as well as refreshments. And everyone we spoke to there were genuinely warm and friendly. We were helped out by George and he was amaaaazing! I can't say enough good things about him. I stumbled along trying to explain what I wanted, and even though sometimes I wasn't articulating myself all that great, I'd give him a few key words and he'd bring out rings that were truly beautiful and not only rings that I really liked, but rings that I didn't even KNOW I would like until he showed me. I told him I wanted something unique and he goes, "well how about... this" and puts together this lovely diamond/setting combination that I never would have thought of myself. Plus, I was super wishy-washy. I couldn't make up my mind! But George was so patient with us. He gave his opinion, but he never rushed me or tried to push me toward a decision when I wasn't ready to make one. He never gave us the hard sell which I truly appreciated after getting some hardcore selling tactics laid on us at other stores. This was going to be an investment of several thousand dollars, I'm so glad they gave us the freedom to take our time with such a big decision. And not once did they even give the slightest hint that they wished we'd hurry up and make up our minds. From beginning to end, they were nothing but friendly and patient. Customization of the ring: A lot of the places we visited were either fairly reluctant about customizing or it would cost a significant amount to create brand new custom designed rings. But not at Bridal Rings Company. Working with George, we came up with the perfect ring. He even helped us visualize how it would look, with some neat little tricks that helped to "see" how the customized ring would look. We took the shank from one ring, the setting from another, and he suggested a really interesting center stone so that my ring would be unique. He joked afterward that I should patent this design once it gets made. All in all, I think George spent like 2 hours with us, going through different rings, pulling characteristics from one, and matching it with another, and slowly the pieces started falling in place until I was really happy with the one of a kind ring we came up with. Without George's help and advice, I doubt the ring I had a vague image of in my head would have come to realization. Another really neat thing about Bridal Rings Company was that they draw up a computer rendering of the customized ring so that I can see the ring fully customized and make changes if I need to before it gets made. Very convenient. Pricing: We looked around at several places and Bridal Rings Company has the best prices! Not bargain basement prices, but just good reasonable prices for their products. Selection: As far as I could tell, Bridal Rings Company had the best selection of rings that *I* liked out of the stores we visited. But that's just preference. I was specifically looking for halo type rings and they had a lot of really nice ones. There was another store that had more options, but the options weren't as pretty. And like I mentioned with the customization, even if you can't find the perfect ring, you can probably create it! I had a great experience here, and I can't wait to see my ring once it's finished. Will write an updated review once I get the ring in my hands. :)

I have never written a review or really read them until

I have never written a review or really read them until I wanted to find some jewelry stores in LA to shop for a ring. I wanted to make sure I wrote one to give kudos to this place and the great experience my fiance and I had. I read many reviews here and it helped me choose three places I wanted to visit but did not go anywhere after meeting with Cathy. We spoke on the phone a couple times and I sent her pictures of rings I was interested in. She "got me" and more or less knew what I wanted in a ring. Very very friendly, patient and knowledgeable! The price was great! We got both my bands for under the budget. Cathy showed my fiance a mens band that matched my band and to my surprise he choose to get the ring. You can not please all the people all the time but I think this company is doing a great job. Thank you Cathy for everything!

Go in, ask for Cathy and know you’re in good hands.

Go in, ask for Cathy and know you’re in good hands. I surfed around and around forever trying to find someone i felt i could trust with a topic this serious. And Bridal Rings def gave me that vibe and proved it to be true. I'm a guy. i don't buy jewelry. i have no idea about diamond ratings or their clarity. All i knew is I'd found the girl i wanted to marry and needed a ring as special as she is. I won't bore you with my whole ordeal. Just know i highly suggest this company, and over all Cathy who works there. She worked with me every step of the way. From picking out my diamond (mine was a blue diamond and a bit hard to track down, she came back w/ 4 :) to helping me pick the ring that matched the style i was looking for. She even was so kind as to email me pictures of the ring once the diamond had been set!! My fiancé and I will be going here and nowhere else for our wedding bands. Hope this helps!

We have been buying from Bridal Rings (and Jay) for probably a decade

We have been buying from Bridal Rings (and Jay) for probably a decade and have always recommended them to others who desire top quality product, beautiful designs, stellar service, and excellent pricing. Just this morning, my husband surprised me with an incredible ring fashioned after a Tiffany design (but Bridal rings version was prettier, better stones and better pricing) for our 21st anniversary. I got him a pair of tennis shoes. I think I got the better end of the deal. But the story is that Jay and his crew helped fashion the surprise, shipped the ring 'on consignment' to make sure I liked it, and helped make the whole experience extra special. Thank you Jay and Bridal Rings!!!

We were referred by a friend who bought an engagement ring from Bridal Rings Company.

We were referred by a friend who bought an engagement ring from Bridal Rings Company. We worked with Kathy and picked out the diamond on our second visit. We did not see a sample 6 prong setting, but Kathy guaranteed that I would love it. The original setting I received was set a little too high. When they reset it lower, it prongs became uneven. Jay, the owner, was very nice and professional and said they will reset it and remake the head. The second setting I received was set at the right height, but the prongs were still not evenly spaced and the head was slightly tilted. I am a very picky person and somewhat of a perfectionist. I brought the ring back and they were willing to make a brand new head for it again. This time they had me talk directly to George who said he will be making the new setting for me. I explained to George my concerns with the setting and what I wanted changed. He is very experienced and understood exactly what I wanted. When I received the ring back, it looked gorgeous! Kathy, Jay and George are fabulous and are genuinely vested in making sure their clients are happy with their experience and their ring. I am continually getting compliments about my ring ~ Thank you so much Kathy, Jay and George! I am one happy bride-to-be. A+++ service!

My fiancé and I were looking for a reputable, no-pressure

My fiancé and I were looking for a reputable, no-pressure jeweler in the Downtown LA Jewelry District area for our wedding band search. We actually came across all the great reviews on Bridal Rings Co on Yelp, and figured we'd give it a shot. Nina attended to us the two or three times we went. She was very patient, non-salesy, friendly and funny. Unlike at many other stores, I didn't feel bad or guilty about taking up her time. It was like having a conversation with a long-lost friend, who just so happened to know a lot about diamonds! My fiancé and I found two gorgeous wedding bands. They then custom made those bands for us in our sizes, and then 2 weeks later I picked them up and was really happy with what looked like a real masterpiece to me. As previous posters said, there is not a lot of room for bargaining to be had here, as the prices they give are the lowest they will go. However, we thought pricing was fair - it was even slightly cheaper than buying online. Top-notch service and excellent quality. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely go back again for future jewelry needs!

I came in here a long time ago with no idea what I wanted to get, and without any prior knowledge of diamonds or jewelry. The staff was incredible patient and kind to me, offering me water and taking the time to educate me about diamonds, gold and platinum . I made it clear that I was just shopping around, and I felt no pressure whatsoever to buy. On the contrary, they made it their duty to make sure I was well informed and confident about what I wanted before committing to anything. I had a great experience here. Their customer service is impeccable. I got the sense that they really care about their clientele

I just wanted to thank you for your very professional and helpful service that you

Hi Cathy, I just wanted to thank you for your very professional and helpful service that you provided to me, actually everyone that works with you I found to be very accommodating and helpful. Its funny, when Laura and I left the first time we unknowingly asked one of your jewelers on the street for a recommendation for a good breakfast place and he led us right to it a few blocks away! We realized he was one of your jewelers when we came back and saw him back there working. I feel really good about making such a large transaction with your company and I will definitely spread the word here in Canada because it is definitely worth the trip for us especially with the service. Really nice choice on the first setting you chose to show me the large diamonds in. I was actually debating going with that for my first choice right off the bat! I'm glad it worked out and Laura couldn't be happier. We will probably come back to see you for Laura's wedding band sometime in the next few months because we loved L.A. and I would love to give you the business. Anyways thanks again and please feel free to post this on reviews of your company if you do that kind of thing. Take care.

We stumbled upon this place... it was destiny! We wandered a bit aimlessly around the district not quite sure where to go. We found BRC. Staff is amazing, Zaven is a gentleman and incredibly knowledgeable - Jay is the high energy "seal the deal" guy. We received VIP treatment. We walked away happy , satisfied and anticipating picking up our rings the next day. When we arrived the rings were ready and even more beautiful than we imagined once the diamond was set! My husband and I highly recommend this jeweler! Thank you BRC!

After going to about half a dozen jewelers, I finally got my engagement ring from Bridal Rings Company

After going to about half a dozen jewelers, I finally got my engagement ring from Bridal Rings Company and my fiancée loved it! I got referrals from others and did my own online research and was lucky to stumble onto the BRC web site. I made an online inquiry and asked that I be contacted via email. As part of registering, I reluctantly entered my cell phone number because I feared being pestered with a call. But those fears were never realized. Jay was respectful of my request to contact me via email. Jay got the parameters of what I was looking for over email - the 4C's I was looking for, the type of ring, and of course my price range. Not once did he call me like I feared. Only the night before my appointment did he call to confirm and even then he called at night like I had requested. The next morning, I stepped into BRC ready to be pressured into something I didn't want like I had experienced at other jewelers. Instead Ned took the baton from Jay and got a feel for what I was looking at. When he did, he went through the half dozen diamonds Jay had selected based on our email exchanges and said let’s start with the best. When I saw the diamond, I knew from my gut, it was the one! Now I had to negotiate a price that was agreeable to my budget. Ned was fantastic in meeting me where I needed to be and about an hour and a half later, I had an engagement ring. My experience with BRC was nothing less than spectacular and I would recommend them to anyone looking out there. I got the end result I was looking for...an engagement ring that my fiancée loves. A few tips when looking for the right ring: 1) Educate yourself as much as you can about diamonds. Learn the 4C's like the back of your hand. 2) Visit as many jewelers as you can stand and get as many quotes as you can and shop those quotes against each other. 3) When you see the diamond you like from your heart and gut and your wallet, you will know that is the one regardless of what the 4C's are. Good luck out there.

Bridal rings is the place you want to go if: 1.You want to be treated like family 2. You want the most for your money 3. You want your jeweler to always go above and beyond your expectations. They are patient, honest, and hard working. Anything I needed or had questions about they helped me with. I can't recomend this company enough. Trust me, this is the place you want to go for the most important jewelry of your life. George and Ned...thank you for being a part of this wonderful engagement experience! I can't wait for our next purchase!

Where is the 6 star button??? stumbled upon the Bridal Rings Company while searching on Yelp.

Where is the 6 star button??? I stumbled upon the Bridal Rings Company while searching on Yelp. Great example of what good research will do for you. I had been searching for an engagement ring for about a week prior to stopping in, and was being to think my best option would be at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box. From poor selections, sleazy used car salesman, tiny selections, and everything in between; I was giving up hope. I was starting to think it might be easier to find a wife than it was a decent engagement ring jeweler. It was taking away from what should have been an exciting experience. That is when I found the Bridal Rings Company. I entered wide eyed and completely naive. Sure I would have been pegged as an easy target by other stores. But instead, I was pegged as the guy that needed some real help. That is when I met Nina, and she held my hand every step of the way. We must have put together every stone/setting combination possible in the store. I never once was pressured, and after telling Nina what I liked and didn't like, she was able to put together the ring I had in my head. After deciding on the ring, I was then introduced to Jay. Jay sat with me for thirty minutes talking about my fiancée, my job, the weather, sports, and everything other than the price of the ring. Once I started the conversation of price, (and it was a conversation, not a negotiation) Jay did all the talking. He broke down every way possible for me to walk out with my dream ring. I will never tell him, but I was ok with the initial price he asked. But he talked his way down about 20% of that and I was ready to go. After the proposal we came back to have the ring sized. It took them about 45 minutes to size the ring a give it another cleaning. Two days after that we came back for another sizing since my dumb ass fiancée can't figure out how a ring should fit. Needless to say I was annoyed, but they weren't. They were happy to make sure she got exactly what she wanted. Oh, I forgot to mention both setting were free! Since then I have recommended Bridal Rings Company to a good friend since I had such a good experience. Don't think of going anywhere else. Give Bridal Rings Company first shot and save yourself the time.....

I've brought a diamond I've bought from the internet to Bridal Rings to get a ring setting.

I've brought a diamond I've bought from the internet to Bridal Rings to get a ring setting. I was pleasantly surprised they have a wide selection of rings and the price is reasonable. One thing you should mind though is that if you bring a diamond from elsewhere, they charge an extra $100 "insurance fee", just in case something happens to the diamond, which seems to be the common theme everywhere. And if you do decide to drop in, look for George. He's patient and friendly, unlike some of the jewelers you see out there. Also, mind the parking around this crowded downtown jewelry district. Average rates are about $3 / 15 min. so plan your trips wisely.

The price you pay for the amazing quality is the best

The price you pay for the amazing quality is the best. We went to a couple of other highly rated stores in the jewelry district, and this place offered the best price hands down for the same quality. Nina was our sales person. Really nice, friendly, helpful, not at all pushy. I was hesitant on getting the ring that day, b/c this was our first day of ring shopping and I wanted to look at some more places before making a final decision. That’s when Jay came out. Jay is an AGGRESSIVE sales person. It made me a little bit uncomfortable, but the numbers he was throwing out more than made up for it. He dropped the price to something we couldn't say no to and he made a sale! Quality of the diamonds far surpasses any ring you could get at a mall store, and the price is unbeatable. Robbins Brothers' diamonds are comparable, but they also charge a lot more and take a lot longer to complete the ring. BRC also offers the same lifetime warranty of replacing any lost diamonds that Robbins Brothers does, but I’ll have to see if they honor that b/c it's not in writing anywhere! (This is strange, b/c when we bought the ring they said they did have a warranty stating that in writing). Other than that 1 strange misunderstanding this whole experience has been awesome!

I got a beautiful ring from my husband which was purchased here. I went back later to resize it. The people working there are very pleasant. They don't have the infamous sales people attitude. I also purchased from them a surprise-ring for my husband. They have a very nice selection of diamond male rings. If I were a millionaire I would get him ten rings (one for each finger) LOL :)

Wow where do I begin. I am going to make this short and to the point. I could not recommend enough

Wow where do I begin. I am going to make this short and to the point. I could not recommend enough the service and staff @ BRC. I worked with George who was so patient, honest and helpful. I am extremely high maintenance and really went back and forth as far as design, and diamond choice. I will never go anywhere else for any type of jewelry. They worked with me and an extremely ridiculous time frame I had just days before Christmas. The ring turned out even better then I had ever imagined. My fiancee gets compliments all day every day. The price was far less then going to a name brand designer and there is something special about designing a one of a kind ring. When you go in ask for George - I promise you will not be disappointed. You will get so much "bang for your buck"

I took my engagement ring to Bridal Rings Company to get sized after dealing with some bs at

I took my engagement ring to Bridal Rings Company to get sized after dealing with some bs at Robbins Brothers Glendale (see my RB Glendale review) and I honestly wish I had come to BRC in the first place. I will never go back to RB after the great experience I had with BRC. Hubby and I came in on a Friday and it wasn't crowded so we were helped right away. They charged $45 to size my ring and it only took two hours since their jewelers are on site. We asked them some info that RB had told us and the information they gave us confirmed RB was full of it. They also gave us a quote of $150 for a diamond RB wanted to charge us $750 for and they could have it in a matter of hours rather than the four weeks RB told us. They also suggested we hold off on buying the diamond because the damage wasn't as bad as RB made it seem. This is a sign of a truly honest business IMHO. They could have taken my $150 but it seems they would rather have my trust and believe me they got it. We had errands to run so we just told them we would come back the next day to pick up the ring. Saturday morning it was far more crowded but we were still helped right away. The guy that helped us was very nice and he even gave my ring a free cleaning and rhodium dipping. They even took pictures of it under a special camera and showed us some before and after pictures so we could see the difference. I REALLY wish I had gone there in the first place. They have an amazing selection of vintage style rings and my husband and I kept pointing out different rings to each other. I could not get over how many beautiful art deco style settings they had and I was kind of envious of all the brides in the shop. It's like every setting was more intricate and more beautiful than the next. The majority of their settings are platinum or white gold and all of the rings are displayed without a diamond so you can choose your diamond or even put in a different type of stone. They also have a pretty big selection of men's rings, far more than they had at RB. The guy that helped us told us they can also custom make any piece for you too. I can just imagine how gorgeous a vintage style setting would be with a brilliant sapphire stone! Just try doing that at RB and see how far you get. The service and selection at BRC is fantastic. The hubby said he would definitely come back here for an anniversary band and I know I will definitely come back here if I ever buy a ring for any reason. Shop is on the 6th floor right across from the elevator. Parking is $18 on weekdays and $6 on weekends. The Pershing square subway stop also right on the corner if you're subway accessible and/or don't want to pay for parking

In short...excellent service, stellar quality, great price, phenomenal guarantee

In short...excellent service, stellar quality, great price, phenomenal guarantee, we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Bridal Rings Company with no hesitation. Being "newbies" to the diamond world (and after having heard so many horror stories about scams and shady jewelers) my new fiancé and I were quite leery about the whole process of buying an engagement ring. Fortunately, we were able to find the Bridal Rings Company where our fears of anything bad happening to us were quickly put rest. We first heard of the Bridal Rings Company when we fell in love with a magnificent "Michael M" setting online and found that Jay was an authorized reseller. We contacted them via e-mail and had a response from the owner Jay within 24 hours. Over the phone Jay was kind, patient, courteous and spent a great deal of time listening to our needs while educating us on all of our options. A week later we arrived for the physical appointment. The ring that we had requested was sitting there waiting for me (which fit perfectly), and all of the potential center stones that might have been a good fit for us were lined up and awaiting our examination. After our first call with Jay we had done extensive research about the quality, grade, pricing etc. of loose stones in several different places to become more knowledgeable about buying diamonds. In comparison to the selections and pricing we saw at Jay's, we felt that his offerings were by far superior in quality and lower in price than other options that we had found elsewhere. Product aside, Jay and his staff were positive, exhibited excellent communication skills, flawless and timely service and treated us with total respect. The whole deal was straight up, we wasted no time being shown things that we weren't interested in, being up-sold on anything that we weren't prepared to do and there was no pressure to do the deal whatsoever. As a result, my ring is spectacular! And thanks to Jay's impeccable integrity and sincere desire to do a top quality job, the entire experience was practically effortless. It feels awesome to know that we have found an honest, trustworthy, reliable jeweler that my fiancé and I can go to for all of our future jewelry.

You did it, Bridal Ring Company! You found my perfect engagement ring!

You did it, Bridal Ring Company! You found my perfect engagement ring! Not only did you find the ring of my dreams, you treated me with class and dignity, considering I had a fairly moderate budget to work with. You dedicated your time, energy and knowledge on my soon to be husband and I, so much so, we felt like we were the only ones there (even though we were not.) You, Cathy, brought out everything you thought I would like, let me try it on and explained everything there is to know about each ring and even worked with our budget. You will forever get ALL of my jewelry business! Thank you for making it such a great experience! P.S- If you buy a ring from them, they will dip it and clean it for life, as well as give you 100% of what you paid for your diamond (if you buy from them) and let you trade it in for a bigger diamond

Just gave my fiance the ring that I purchased from Bridal Rings Company and she loved it!

Just gave my fiance the ring that I purchased from Bridal Rings Company and she loved it! A few months back we went shopping at the LA jewelry district for an engagement ring, and if you've been there, you know this can be a overwhelming experience. Based on yelp reviews, Bridal Rings was one of the places that we visited; while not a large store, it does have a nice selection of bands and diamonds. Based on my research of online diamond sellers, their prices seemed to be competitive and they seemed to be willing to price match. I felt like I got a great deal on a designer ring that had to be custom made due to my fiance's tiny hands and my diamond choice. Zaven was my salesperson and he was a great help in the overall process; I really had no experience with diamonds, and he was able to explain to me the importance of diamond proportions, cut, color, etc. Once I told him my budget and the ring I wanted to get, he was able to show me diamonds that fit within my price range. He also informed me that if I chose to upgrade the diamond at any point in time, 100% of its value would go into the new purchase. Now, I would have given Bridal Rings a 5 star rating except for the fact that they initially told me that the ring would be ready in 3 to 4 weeks, but it in fact it took 9 weeks. Naturally, since it was a custom ring, I went into it knowing that it would take a little longer to complete, but they also knew this when they gave me a completion date. What really bothered me the most about this is that no one from their store called me to inform me of the status of the ring. That seems to be basic customer service. I had to call twice around the 6 and 7 week mark in order to get some info, and all they were able to tell me was that the ring should arrive very soon. It finally took an email to the management in order to get Jay (manager or owner?) to follow up with me concerning the ring. He apologized for the lack of communication, stated that they would normally contact the customer in this case, and he did follow up with me about the status of the ring. A couple of days later the ring had arrived, and I felt a huge sense of relief! So maybe after considering the tardiness of the ring I ordered I would rate my overall experience somewhere closer to 3.5 stars. But when I reflect on the overall experience, including the excellent customer service that I received in-store, in combination with the great deal that I got on the ring, I would still recommend this place.

They have a great selection and rings for all budgets. I would recommend them to anyone!!! :) -----------------------------------------------------------------Updated - 12/13/2009 They cleaned my engagement ring for me even though it is from another store.

My husband and I came in to upgrade the center stone on my engagement ring. Zaven was our jeweler

My husband and I came in to upgrade the center stone on my engagement ring. Zaven was our jeweler. He is one of the gems of the company! He is so extremely gracious and I felt like he hand-picked an excellent diamond from their inventory just for us! (Maybe he didn't but that's how we felt!) Jay the owner also stepped in during the session. Jay is great as well but also more to the point about finalizing the sale. I was impressed with him for emphasizing being comfortable with what you can afford and not feeding into buyers greed. I think that's honorable given his position as owner. Expect to be treated well but they're still a business and expanding very quickly. It makes sense they will give more attention to clients who are purchasing more. There were other couples, who came in after us, who were being shown their diamonds privately in the "diamond room". And we were also one of the couples walking the halls for an hour+ waiting for our stone to be set and polished. But when all was said and done we were so happy and impressed with the beautiful ring. And Jay even jumped out of the store to personally greet us goodbye. So the rest is forgivable I'd say! I'm confident that with the right expectations you will have a memorable experience!

I signed up specifically just to raise awareness of just how awesome this place is

I signed up specifically just to raise awareness of just how awesome this place is. Me and my now fiancée shopped all around the jewelry distinct and found some places that offered ok customer service, good prices, but when we got here the place was filled with couples not shopping but couples getting exactly what they were looking for. That caught our attention. So after sitting down and talking with a rep, Ned (he's the man w/ the cool 'stache) made sure that we knew exactly what we were buying and how to buy. He made sure we understood the difference between the certification companies (who's stricter on their grading) and which cuts compliment certain clarities and colors. By the time we left the place, we felt very good. We were well treated and my fiancée looked at like 2345239 different settings and there was no sign of frustration or impatience on their part. Oh and about prices: you can get the lower end stuff cheaper here but you can also get the higher grade stuff at an amazing price here too. You get what you pay for.=) Because of their great hospitality and customer service, I chose to go back their and pick up an engagement ring. I can finally call my long time girlfriend, FIANCÉE now. =) seriously people, check out this place. Give em a shout!

This jeweler helped us out in so many ways! For starters we went to downtown L.A. in search

This jeweler helped us out in so many ways! For starters we went to downtown L.A. in search of my wife's wedding ring back in July 09. We ended up arriving downtown right as most of the jewelry places were closing. We weren't having any luck with the remaining open vendors, and so my wife (fiancé at the time) found this place on her cell by doing a Google search. The Google feedback was all very positive and so we called them to see if they were still open. When we called Bridal Wedding Rings the gentleman said they were closed, but that they were willing to stay later to help us out. When we arrived I was very impressed by their professionalism, cleanliness of the store and the overall quality of their jewelry. They were very helpful by taking their time to explain the different ring designs, diamond cuts, and the whole process of what they do. We our course, eventually found the ring that my wife had to have and bought it at a very reasonable price. We were so impressed when they told us it could even be sized right there and then in about 20 minutes. They were even so kind as to clean and re-dip my white gold ring for me. We also received a free appraisal of her ring, a cleaning kit, and lifetime rhodium dipping on the ring. This whole experience was meant to be and we are very grateful for coming across such as special place with such a wonderful group of people. Jay and Bridal Rings Company made this ring buying experience one of the easiest and stress free things we ever ended up doing throughout our whole wedding process. I would recommend this store to anyone interested in jewelry of all kinds. Thank you for everything Bridal Rings Co. I'm sure we'll be back for some anniversary presents!

It's roughly half the price of Robbins Bros rings and there's really no nasty negotiating

It's roughly half the price of Robbins Bros rings and there's really no nasty negotiating -- very very very pleasant experience with both Jay and Zavan. And more importantly, good deals. The kind of good deal that makes you smile for the rest of the day. Zavan was awesome -- introduced us to Louis Bottega down the street and heard what we wanted for bands and showed us exactly what we were looking for even though it was a good bit less costly than what we told him we were willing to spend. So yes -- honest guys, good prices -- but you have to get your ass downtown.

I did TONS of diamond homework online so that I wouldn't be setting foot in a showroom unprepared for those

I did TONS of diamond homework online so that I wouldn't be setting foot in a showroom unprepared for those dreaded sales attacks! Surprisingly, George greeted me gently, smiling and gracious and helpful as he found out what I was after (a 20th anniversary celebration ring). When Jay became available, he focused in on selecting a stone and detailing the design for my dream ring. There was absolutely NO pressure to spend once cent more than I planned. When I didn't like the any of the diamonds he had on hand, Jay searched for an appropriate one and FedEx it to me in a simple setting to "test drive" for a week. That was incredible. As the jeweler created the ring, Jay had him tweak the design several times to perfectly enhance the center stone. Throughout this process, Jay kept in great communication, emailing design change ideas and updating me on the process and timing. I felt that he was "on my team," the last thing I had expected! Whereas I had initially dreaded entering the LA jewelry district, I ended up eager to check in. A great experience. And, by the way, my ring is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!!!! I got more than I had ever hoped for.

I knew my experience at Bridal Rings was going to be amazing from the minute I walked in the door

I knew my experience at Bridal Rings was going to be amazing from the minute I walked in the door. I was admittedly nervous dripping in sweat. After all, I was out of my element, looking to make a big purchase without getting ripped off. Then I met Ned. And he offered me a glass of water. You have no idea how much a few sips of water can change a man's composure in such a stressful situation. From that point on, I felt comfortable. I did my research beforehand. I knew roughly what I wanted and how much it should cost. Ned patiently showed me many diamonds, even ones I hadn't thought about. We spent two hours on a busy Saturday. And I walked out without making a purchase. He wrote all the specs down and never pressured me to make a decision. He told me he would follow up in a few days. I took that time to do more research, and quickly found out that I wasn't getting the same attention, or value anywhere else. I went to Robbins Bros. They were salesy and expensive. I went to other shops in the diamond district. I had some nice interactions, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I went online. Only bluenile.com had similar diamonds at reasonable prices, but I didn't want to make such a large purchase online. So I went back to Ned (and Jay the owner, who is also great). I spent another two or three hours, again on a busy Saturday. Again, I can't stress this enough, the service I received was never rushed, pushy and confrontational. I felt at ease. Finally, after studying the diamond under the large microscope, and under the lights, and with my eyes, for what seemed like hours, I bought the ring. What's nice about this place is that they will take the time to make sure you get what you want. They are wholesale so you get a lot more bling for you buck. My experience with Ned and Jay was top notch. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. After going to retail stores, shopping online and other places in the diamond district, I gotta say that Bridal Rings was by far the best place to shop, especially if you're a nervous, sweaty, in-over-his-head guy just looking to find a nice ring without getting ripped off.

Geez where to start? I walked all over downtown and looked at a lot of diamonds and a lot of jewelers before emailing Bridal Rings Company for a quote. Jay was my sales rep and he was fantastic. The price I got on the diamond was far and away the best of any of the jewelers downtown and when I actually laid my eyes on the sparkler I knew I had found my diamond after all. I designed my own band and Jay worked with me and the 3-D modeler to get things just right. He was patient and informative and very easy to work with. After I got the 3-D model, they cast the band in wax and then made it up in gold. The entire process was a pleasure and now I'm looking forward to getting the bands made. FANTASTICO!

We made an appointment and met with Jay. Jay was friendly, helpful, patient and made us feel very comfortable. He took over an hour to sit with us and explained a lot of things. He would take a minute here and there to help other people but we were given priority. Even after we purchased the ring, Jay went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied with our purchase. We got a good deal on the rings we purchased and the service we received from Jay and his employees were excellent. There are a lot of options in LA's Jewelry District, but Bridal Rings Company is the one to go to. Highly recommended.

Bridal Rings is simply the best!!! I am so glad I reviewed jewelry companies before I purchased my fiance's engagement ring. I had looked at tons of different companies out there, and none of them could compare to the great prices, best customer service, and outstanding selection. When I first began my search I had an idea of what I wanted. After I emailed Bridal Rings, Jay immediately responded to my message and found me what I was looking for and about $2000 less than there competitors. I was amazed that he knew his selection so well, and he could almost read my mind of what I was looking for. Bridal Rings has knowledgeable associates that care about you, and your special occasion. If you think you are getting the best deal on your jewelery selection, think again. Give Bridal Rings a call and let them know about what you need. If you don't live in California, it's okay, they can ship to you

Shopping for an engagement ring is a pretty intense experience. There is so much out there

Shopping for an engagement ring is a pretty intense experience. There is so much out there in LA that I used yelp to help me narrow down my search. Bridal Rings Company was the first place I visited in the Jewelry district. I was very impressed with the diamonds they showed me as well as their selection of rings. Nevertheless, I told them that I wanted to shop around and they actually agreed that I should. There was no pressure and just encouragement for me to find the right diamond. After visiting several others of the top-rated diamond shops, I returned to the Bridal Rings Company to purchase. From what I saw, no other shop had the quality of diamond I was looking for within a reasonable budget; let alone, the service that goes with your purchase. I ended up getting a beautiful solitaire that my fiancée loves! Thanks for your help Cathy and Jay.

I have to say what a great experience. My fiancé and I purchased 2 custom wedding bands for me

I have to say what a great experience. My fiancé and I purchased 2 custom wedding bands for me and 1 wedding bad for him. We shopped around for several months and to be honest were very hesitant to buy from downtown. We are both very picky and new we wanted quality diamonds for a good price. That's exactly what we got when we walked in. Jay and his wife are awesome. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The entire staff is very welcoming. Since my bands had to be customized I wanted to make sure we both felt comfortable with leaving the ring at any establishment we finally decided on. I am so glad we selected Bridal Rings. I was almost in tears when I saw the final product. It was absolutely gorgeous and exceeded my expectations!!!! They also sized and cleaned our rings at no charge. Cleanings are a lifetime service. They also offer upgrades. Great place, awesome prices, top quality, look no further, trust me you will not be disappointed. We weren't...we will be a lifetime customer. Thanks! Regina S.

I am not a good writer, so this will be short review. This place was recommended from our friend, who’s friend was happy after visiting Bridal Rings Company. They were established on 1983, a year before my fiancée was born :) We went to two different places before here, and normally if the price is right, the quality isn't. If the quality is right, the price isn’t. But Bridal Rings Company had the right quality for a reasonable price, and they were friendly. My fiancée is happy with the ring, and nothing can beat that: D.

We accidentally stumbled across this place while wandering around the jewelry district. This place is totally legitimate and offers a more intimate shopping experience compared to the smaller stalls you'll come across in other parts of the district. The place is small and there were many customers Ask for Paula. She was sweet and amazing and helped us find the perfect diamond for our wants and needs. Although there's no pressure to buy, she really makes you feel like you are getting a great deal for what you want and you walk away feeling great about it. An excellent jeweler. Recommended!

My fiancée and I read all of the great reviews and decided to check out their selection. Sure enough, we ended up purchasing 2 beautiful rings. Nina helped us with everything and was a pleasure to work with (no high-pressure sales tactics or anything)! She even worked within our budget. Request to work with Nina - she's the best! They provide cleanings for a lifetime and have been in business for 20+ years, which is helpful in determining how long they will be around. They even took care of everything we needed insurance-wise. Such a pain-free experience

My fiancé and I had been looking for dozens of stores for almost 6 months to find the perfect diamond engagement ring. Nothing had really caught our eye as a truly special stone until Ned from Bridal Rings Co. helped us find a very unique, special diamond with a perfect setting. It's beautiful and we're extremely happy with our purchase! It also helps that the price was very reasonable! We've been to a lot of stores where the salespeople are very pushy. Ned has been hands down the most knowledgeable and refreshingly honest representative we've worked with in our 6 month search. He's a very nice guy and his expertise really shines through. I was really surprised by how enjoyable the experience was. Ned's awesome! There are tons of stores in the jewelry district in downtown LA, but Bridal Rings Co. is the best store we visited. They offer the best customer service, selection, prices, and overall value. Also, if you're looking for a ring that is special, unique, and memorable, this is the store to visit.

We researched engagement rings online for a month or so. We narrowed it down to visit two companies in the LA Jewelry district. We made appointments with both companies. Nina answered the phone at Bridal Rings and was a pleasure to work with from that point on. She was friendly and made us felt like family. We felt like she really cared about us and not just making the sale. We arrived for our appointment and she welcomed us like old friends. We spent an hour or so r choosing the perfect ring. We were given a very fair price and we didn't have to haggle for it. We had to have the ring made and Nina called us when it was ready. She acted so excited about how it turned out. We went today to pick it. It was surpassed our expectations. Nina and the whole group at Bridal Rings are very friendly and personable. I would highly recommend Nina and Bridal Rings to anyone looking for a beautiful ring and an awesome buying experience.

Our experience at bridal rings with jay was excellent. We went thinking we were just looking to see what's out there before making a purchase

Our experience at bridal rings with jay was excellent. We went thinking we were just looking to see what's out there before making a purchase online from somewhere less expensive. Basically this was our experience. We initially stopped by on a Friday afternoon. It wasn't very crowded and we were helped by jay. We were looking for wedding bands for my wife and I. Unfortunately my wife couldn't find a band to go with her e-ring (no fault to bridal rings co.. They had just about everything you could expect from a ring shop and if they didn't have what ur looking for they would offer to have one designed to the exact specs u want. And the prices were very good. Maybe not the absolute cheapest when comparing to an online business with no storefront but after thinking about it, wouldn't u rather pay a lil more and actually see what ur getting before u pay? ) Anyway back to our experience. For my wedding band, I found exactly the design I was looking for. I just wanted It a bit thicker and jay said no problem give me 2-3 weeks. We ended up getting my ring and a custom diamond necklace for my wife for a great price. And to my surprise our deal was cheaper than anything I could find on the net. I'm my book if u can meet or beat net prices u put a smile on my face. The service? Jay is a very nice and knowledgeable man. He talks a lot and wants to gain all of ur jewelry business but if u owned a sales business U'd do the same. My only gripe about this experience was that it was very time consuming. We were there for quite some time on both occasions that we were there. So my advice would be... If u plan on going there, clear ur schedule and don't expect a short 30 min trip. Btw... We also tried a few other places

At first the large building that Bridal Rings Co resides in was a bit intimidating, but even before we arrived to the store we were greeted by the security/information man who was nice and helpful. Once we knew where we had to go we were off. We searched a couple places and were not really satisfied until we arrived at Bridal Rings Co. As soon as we got buzzed in Nina greeted us and started showing us wedding bands. Nina was extremely helpful and down to earth. I was so glad that she was the one who helped us. We told her our budget and she showed us every wedding band within that range and even others not in that range which of course we liked. Nina worked the owner and hooked it up with a real nice wedding band for my soon to be wife. For my wedding band I already had a thought in my head of what i kinda wanted. They had a large amount of men’s wedding bands so I had no trouble picking one out, and so AFFORDABLE! All in all I would highly recommend them to friends and plan to go in the future for whatever this misses wants in the future. Thanks again Nina!,

My fiancée and I saw reviews for Bridal Rings on yelp and thought it would be a good idea to give the place a try. After my experience today, I can say without hesitation that Bridal Rings is absolutely the best jewelry store I have ever done business with. We had visited two other jewelry stores that morning prior to our trip to the jewelry district, and not only did those stores feel unwelcoming and over-bearing, but they were totally devoid of customers. Bridal Rings was exactly the opposite. We when arrived, we weren't greeted with a once over and an a perceived dismissal that we couldn't afford the jewelry there, we were greeted by Nina. Even though Bridal Rings was packed with patrons, Nina made a point to walk over and personally introduce herself and guide us through the mass of ecstatic brides-to-be who were amazed at the brilliance of the array of diamonds before them, so she could get a feel for who were are, what our personal style is and what we could afford. Nina was the pinnacle of customer service. Not only does Bridal Rings have an endless selection with great pricing, but they have a sales staff with people like Nina who know how to make someone feel like a friend, not a commission. Nina is personable, knowledgeable, she loves her job and it shows in how she and the rest of the staff treat the potential patrons that walk through the front door. I was so impressed by the experience of Bridal Rings, that I will be a customer for life.

I was a little skeptical about the name; I kind of wanted to find our wedding bands at more of an off-beat place. So my fiancé & I went to several places in the Jewelry District recommended by Yelp reviewers, but this was absolutely the best! Nina even helped us over the phone, making us feel welcome before we walked in the door, and once we arrived, we felt as though she had all the time in the world for us. She was like a great hostess, without being overbearing in the least, the way some salespeople had been with us. She was incredibly patient and good-natured, and excited, as we were, to find the perfect wedding bands for us, and we took our time looking at a LOT of different rings! She was equally welcoming during our 2nd visit, when we both decided to combine elements of different rings in the store to custom-design our own bands based on designs we'd seen online. They can custom-make just about anything there. Nina made recommendations, listened to us really well, and remained thorough and patient throughout the ordering process. (Jay was incredibly warm & welcoming, too.) Yesterday we picked up the rings and they're totally gorgeous. I may need to make mine a tiny bit bigger, and she suggested I wear it at home for a few days to see how it fit before making the change. She asked the artisans who do the work a lot of questions on our behalf while we were in the store, because I may also size my vintage engagement ring so that it's a little smaller, and they were very communicative & clear about what that would entail. She suggested taking my time to decide rather than pressuring me, which was great, and that was consistent throughout our experience there. Highly recommended!

We recently had a wonderful experience at the Bridal Rings Company.

We recently had a wonderful experience at the Bridal Rings Company. The experience there was completely different from the other stores. We went to several places before we stopped by there, and I honestly did not expect to walk out with a ring from there. When I didn't find the setting I like when I first got there, instead of just giving up on us, Cathy simply asked about what we have seen so far and what we were looking for. There was no pressure at all. Cathy helped us picked out a great ring and a fantastic diamond to go with it. She was very knowledgeable, a GIA grad, and was so kind and patient. She worked with our budget and did not make us feel like we have to spend a fortune to get a beautiful ring (and we didn't have to). Nina was also very friendly and made us feel very comfortable while waiting for our ring to be sized. We will definitely go back to purchase our wedding rings from Bridal Rings.

I spent hours online looking at solitaires on bluenile.com and mondera.com to get some ideas

I spent hours online looking at solitaires on bluenile.com and mondera.com to get some ideas on price. I originally went to Bridal Rings Company just to see some of these diamonds in person (the differences between a G color or a J color, a VS2 or an SI1, etc.), but felt better about actually holding the diamonds in my hand. It's one thing to click things off on a computer, but another to stare down into a diamond through a 10x loupe. When I went home and compared the prices online with http://bluenile.com, they were very close. Sure, http://bluenile.com doesn't charge state sales tax and their diamonds are a bit less expensive, but their settings cost a lot more. And we can go into the store and get the ring dipped in rhodium whenever we want to make it look new again. Not bad. And if we want a nicer diamond, we can just pay the difference and swap out the old for the new diamond. Cathy was very knowledgeable and patient with us. I was nervous about the whole thing. She was very relaxed and let me take my time and not worry. I didn't buy the most expensive ring in the store, but she gave me the time and attention I needed to feel comfortable

This was our sixth stop in our engagement ring shopping.

This was our sixth stop in our engagement ring shopping. It could have been our first and only. They were so helpful in educating us and helping us narrow down our choices (get Nancy's help on this part). I needed to special order mine and it came in a week before I expected. You go in expecting to haggle since it's in the Jewelry District downtown. I have no negotiation skills, but this was no problem at all since they give you great value on the onset, it's like the negotiation is all done for you. I'm happy that I did go here last since I learned how much of a value this place is and how a helpful jeweler can really make a difference. Sure, almost every jewelry store (but 1) was nice, but Bridal Rings really went out of their way. I recommend this place 100%.

I recently went to Bridal Ring to look at their diamond and ring collection. Jay, Ned, and Cathy were able to provide me with superb service and great pricing on top of that. Will definitely recommend to all of my friends (who are all single and dating) to check this place out.

My fiancé and I recently went on a large hunt for the perfect engagement ring.

My fiancé and I recently went on a large hunt for the perfect engagement ring. We went to about 14 stores over a period of 3 weekends. This was our absolute favorite store hands down. It's a nice reputable store that has been there for 20 some years. They have great quality, great prices, and a huge selection to choose from. I bought my fiancé’s wedding band here, and he purchased my engagement ring and matching wedding band from them as well. They did a great job, and what really impressed me was how much they stand behind their products. I'm a kind of picky. I loved the engagement ring we purchased, but the matching wedding band they made for me didn't quite suit me. The quality was great, but I wasn't happy with the style. So, we took it back, and asked them if they could make a few changes to the wedding band, and they were happy to do so. They were quick, and only charged us for the labor to fix it. Now, it's perfect, and I couldn't be happier with my ring set. They also offer a lifetime guarantee on most of their jewelry, so if anything cracks, or any little diamonds fall out of the setting, they will replace it. I highly recommend them.

Like another poster, we spent many moons looking in both LA and San Francisco for the perfect diamond ring.

Like another poster, we spent many moons looking in both LA and San Francisco for the perfect diamond ring. After seeing gorgeous vintage rings in SF, I decided I wanted an antique look but with a modern cut diamond. We had a list of Yelp and other recommended jewelers and arrived at Bridal Rings late on a Saturday afternoon. One of their very experienced and friendly salespeople, Jay, showed us several diamonds and we chose a beautiful radiant shaped diamond. With the diamond selected, I then described to Jay a 50's era setting I had seen and loved. He suggested that their jeweler, who works right there in the store, create platinum setting with design features from 4 different settings that he showed me. It came out beautifully. Even my fiancé, who was more interested in the financial part of the transaction, was amazed at the beauty and quality. And the price was reasonable. We had gotten quotes from several places and this was the least expensive for the highest quality and largest diamond. I highly recommend Jay and the whole team at Bridal Rings.

I bought our diamond engagement ring here after spending 2 months researching diamonds.

I bought our diamond engagement ring here after spending 2 months researching diamonds. They are very friendly and professional, have a great selection of diamonds and rings. Cathy who is a gemologist was great to work with. Very knowledgeable, friendly, honest. I felt that I could trust her opinion when I was working with her. Like most places in the LA jewelry district, they are fairly competitive and willing to negotiate a bit on price. For the absolute lowest price though, you are still better off buying from a internet dealer online. But for us, I needed to see the setting in person as my fiancee is rather picky. So it was easier to go to a physical store and pay a little more and actually be able to compare diamonds side by side and ring settings side by side which I would not have been able to do online.

First of all, Ned is awesome!

First of all, Ned is awesome! He helped hubby with my gorgeous engagement ring and of course, we bought our wedding banns there. Superb customer service and the quality and selection of rings is overwhelming. Bridal Ring Company has had ads in all major wedding mags so we were assured that this was no fly-by-night store. They have all the certs and licenses posted on their wells for further assurances. After checking out dozens of shops within the jewelry district (it's really overwhelming) we're glad we ended up with Bridal Rings.

My husband and I were referred to Bridal Rings by a long time friend

My husband and I were referred to Bridal Rings by a long time friend. After doing some research on your website and corresponding through email, we decided to make the trip. A trip well worth it! Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would own such a beautiful work of art. Not only the gorgeous diamond, but the finite details in the setting are truly amazing. Every angle of the ring is breath taking. But what we most appreciated was your eagerness to educate us on quality versus price. Instead of "pressing our budget" you took the time to find what would be most beautiful in our price range. What a rare breath of fresh air. I have received countless compliments on my beautiful new ring! We've already started referring friends your way. We cannot thank you enough for the time and professionalism you gave us. Many thanks,
Christy & Gary, Westlake Village
