There Jenny learned in depth how to create jewelry using ancient jewelry manufacturing techniques and was inspired as a metal worker.
Today Jenny finds working with clients immensely satisfying and feels the engagement ring is the most significant piece of jewelry a woman wears. The engagement ring should enhance and accentuate a woman's image by reflecting her individual approach to fashion.

Amy was a delight to work with. She helped us create the ring of my dreams. She was kind, patient and very knowledgeable. My husband originally chose this from from the GIA website and we later found that Amy herself was GIA certified. After purchasing my new "upgraded" ring we left my original engagement ring for a GIA appraisal. We are very happy with the service, communication and help we got here. Highly recommend!

We had an appointment here a couple weeks ago to design an engagement ring. We got to work directly with the owner and she helped show me options to come up with my dream engagement ring. We didn't feel pressured to buy or spend more than our budget and we felt the price was extremely fair. Will definitely be back to purchase my wedding band here!

Awesome place. I inquired for something as simple as cleaning my Bulova watch and the young lady Jenny, who timely responded, was not only brief but detailed. She also gave me feedback as to how the method could affect my watch. In this Information Age, customers appreciate info no matter how insignificant it may seem. So Diamond Forever knows how to do business.

My fiance proposed with a placement holder. We went to Diamonds Forever so I can pick out the exact setting and diamond I wanted. Amy was really helpful and detail oriented when trying to find my perfect diamond. It took a few tries to get the price and 4 Cs I wanted, but she was very patient and understanding. She had really good advice in which diamond was better bang for the buck.
She recommended choosing white inclusions so it would be less noticeable. When we finally decided on the diamond after a couple of visits, I told her how I wanted my setting and Jenny and Amy executed the job perfectly. I am super happy with the ring, and I'm looking forward to designing my wedding ring with them.

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience picking out my center diamond. We had purchased my setting at a different place before we discovered Diamonds Forever. While I love my setting. I wish I knew about this place before! They have such unique gorgeous designs I could've picked quite a few from them instead haha! Anyway, we had gone to a few places in search for a place that would be able to put a near-2karat center stone in my setting that was apparently meant for a 1karat at most.
Lots of places said they'd have to take Diamonds out of the halo, reconstruct the setting.etc. would've cost a fortune! These ladies here are very experienced and not in it for the up-charging types of service. They were able to perfectly set my center diamond in tight and even reshaped the prongs to make the diamond really stand out. Thank you!

When we decided we wanted to custom design our wedding rings, we started meeting with a few jewelers around town to see who might be a good fit. From the moment we walked through the doors of Diamonds Forever, we felt so welcome and also very inspired by the gorgeous pieces on display -- and so we knew we were in great hands. Working with Jenny and the entire team at Diamonds Forever was such a creative, collaborative, and incredibly fun experience. Jenny was exceptional at listening to our ideas and integrating them into a design that exceeded even our wildest hopes and expectations.
Not only is this team of people incredibly talented, but they are also very kind, patient, and communicative. We loved this experience and cannot recommend Diamonds Forever highly enough -- you won't be disappointed!

I took my wedding ring here because the white gold was turning yellow and I had lost two small diamond stones from their settings. They replaced the diamonds and replated the gold. The replacement stones match so perfectly with the original stones that you can't tell any work was done. The yellow is completely gone from the ring and the white plating shines brilliantly. My ring came back shiny, sparkly, and just like new. The owner is quick to respond, straightforward, honest, and easy to work with.

Not only is this store so beautiful and welcoming but the women who work here are as well. They are so kind and knowledgeable and I don't really want to go to another jeweler because of them. I have been taking old jewelry there to get repaired & cleaned & the purchases I've made have been priceless.

My experience with Diamonds Forever was amazing. All of the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. I needed a very unique engagement ring and Jenny was Outstanding in helping me design the PERFECT ring.

I've been working with Jenny as my jeweler from Dimonds forever for over 10 years over the years she has helped me design a few custom pieces. she is extremely knowledgeable and by far the best jeweler I have ever worked with she is extremely detail oriented on her custom pieces and I am so happy with the way everything has turned out I cannot wait to design my next piece with her she can also get you pretty much any type of stone you would like.
I have also recommended her to a few friends who bought engagement rings from her that she designed and everyone who worked with her was extremely happy and impressed with the quality and craftsmanship that she provides as a business. I will never go anywhere else.

This is the only jewelry store I have dealt with on a recurring basis since 2013. The staff is friendly, attentive, and has always delivered on my requests. Without hesitation I would have them develop an engagement and wedding ensemble for my future bride as they are well trained and their results are absolutely exquisite. They also repair watches, yeah! Best wishes to Jenny and Amy during their next 16 business years.

Came into this store today to get an appraisal. I brought two pieces in and was told it would be $45 to identify the pieces and from there we would decide if we would do a full appraisal. We identified the stones and decided to stop there. When I went to check out, I was charged $90. I told the sales associate that it was supposed to be $45, and the woman who quoted that price came out and said that she meant $45 per piece.
She apologized, but didn't even adjust the price to what she quoted me. I get that it was a simple mistake, but it would be proper to adjust the price to what I was quoted. Not a great first experience and I wouldn't return. Update: The woman who quoted me the price, Amy, called today and resolved the issue by refunding me $45. She was super apologetic and kind, and really cared to see how she could do better. To me, that is a sign of great customer service, and I will be returning again in the future. Thank you, Amy!

I would HIGHLY recommend Diamonds Forever to anyone looking for an custom engagement ring and wedding bands.

Please go check her out!

Stumbled by this place by accident but had such a great experience with Jenny looking at engagement rings, we went ahead and purchase them. She was great to work with, expedited the delivery to get it across country in time for the proposal. Not to mention, the ring is gorgeous! It literally took my breath away when I opened up the box.

I found them via google search and they were very polite and professional on the phone so I drive in to their location in sports arena/Point Loma and SO GLAD I did! I ordered a name plate necklace for my wife for Mother's Day, not only did they deliver earlier than they said they would but also came out better than I ever expected! Such amazing work they do and I highly recommend! Below is a picture of what I purchased.

Found this studio from Yelp. I was looking for someone who can repair my broken bracelet chain, and made several quotations. They replied hours later politely with a reasonable estimation cost. After comparing with others, I decided to give it a try. And they did a fine job for my easy fix. Pros: nice and polite staff; open on Saturdays; clean store; timely notice when done. Cons: A bit slower on yelp reply

My fiance and I were getting married and were looking for a custom ring with a particular type of stone (black star sapphire). We called multiple places & none had heard of the type of gem we were looking for. When we called Diamonds, they had the gems! Jenny was more than helpful to us. She took her time to make sure that both of us were satisfied with our rings. Excellent service!

We love this place and recommend it to everyone! My brother bought my sister-in-law's wedding+engagement ring set here, so naturally we came here for my wedding band (then came back again a few years later when I slammed my finger in a door and broke my engagement ring). Reasonable prices, impeccable quality and incredibly dedicated customer service! Both Amy and Jenny are gems - we won't be going anywhere else for our jewelry!

I tagged along with my mom when she was looking for her fiances wedding band. She claimed that she would never go to anyone else other than Jenny, and now I see why! Jenny was able to show me a wide variety of options for wedding bands and custom engagement rings. She was able to show me exactly what I wanted, but also showed me options that were more unique.
With her suggestions, I went with a wedding band totally unique to what I had originally planned and my fiance LOVED IT. I cannot wait to come back for the next ring! Jenny is amazing and will be the only jeweler we go to! Thank you, Jenny!

The amazing professionals at Diamonds Forever are the best! They love what they do, and their passion for their craft shines through! I wanted a custom engagement ring and the staff helped me every step of the way. It was so fun to get to design something original. I was able to choose the setting and pick the perfect diamond to accompany it. Jenny hand picked a few diamonds for us to choose from and we loved them all, but when my fiance and I got home we kept thinking about this one stone.we knew we had found the perfect diamond for my ring! Thank you for making my wedding ring so so special. The ring of a lifetime! -Kyla & Eric
