I started working with Kellie last spring to create the perfect engagement ring for my then girlfriend. I planned on doing something different, going with a dark blue sapphire and smaller diamonds in a gold setting. After looking over many designs, we had a plan and Kellie tracked down the right Sapphire for the ring. Sketches were drawn up, ready to go until I showed my GF something similar, which received a «Hell NO!»(Not that it was bad, just not the style she wanted). Upon notifying Kellie, everything was put on hold and we came up with a new design which after production turned out to be amazing! Kellie provided great ideas, feedback and support along the way. We also purchased a matching wedding band for her. Unfortunately they did not have anything in the right style and price for my wedding band, so we found that elsewhere(direct from a local artisan in San Diego, more about her in another review). Bottom line, Daniel Diamonds and Kellie, despite being 1000 miles away, will be my first stop for any future«REAL» jewelry purchases.

The $ 37500EGL certified diamond we purchased from them ten years ago via their relative in Tel Aviv turned out to be a turkey when we came to sell it. We took the stone back to them with the expectation of being able to sell it on the GIA certificate we requested they apply for. They failed to send the stone for evaluation, making the excuse that they just didn’t bother because no one was buying that particular cut. Upshot — when we took the stone to other jewelers(and eventually sold it to Trice) our J color VSII clarity turned out to be an L/M color VS clarity and therefore worth around half the expected resale value. Not amused in that their behavior told me everything I needed to know about their ethics.

I took my diamond in to Daniel’s as I had 2 prongs that were bent. They were very helpful in identifying how we could fix the problem and also potentially lower the setting so it wouldn’t get bent again. They did a great job and were able to lower the setting and it looks great. Only complaint is that I had asked them to call me once they identified if they could adjust the setting or not so I could decide yes or no based on price, however they just lowered it without calling. Luckily it looks great and was reasonably priced.

Love the unique designs, the great customer service and easy location. Wish I’d known about them earlier… but now that I do, I’m not going anywhere else! They do custom work, will do any type of jewelry repair, and have great ideas if you want to redo an estate piece.

I’ve visited Kellie at Daniel Diamonds twice to purchase jewelry for family members. Have been extremely pleased with both purchases, and the recipient, my mother, loved the necklaces. The service is always top-notch, quality is impeccable — I will be back soon to purchase more from this fine establishment!

I became aware of Daniel Diamonds from the Denver A-list guide. They were ranked highly and had many positive reviews, and most importantly were in my area. I visited them on a Saturday and was extremely pleased with their expertise. I really don’t know a lot about jewelry, but guided by their expertise, found a wonderful engagement ring for my fiancé that she simply adores. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have had limited experience shopping for jewelry, as I am still young, but in my search for an engagement ring, Daniel Diamonds showed me the friendly compassion that I needed to not only find the right ring for my now fiancée, but to also educate me on diamonds and jewelry so that I could feel confident in my decision. They make you feel like you’re family and that’s a big comfort when most jewelry stores are seriously trying to swindle you. They may be more expensive than a mall or an outlet chain, but you can feel safe in the knowledge that you’re buying from a caring family that has run this local business on integrity for years. I could not give them any higher praise.

I was informed of Daniel Diamonds by at least 3 friends that live in the Denver area. As I travel through there pretty regularly I decided to make the trip up I-70 to check out the store even though it was a bit out of the way. I am glad I did. I was looking for something for my wife with a modest budget and had been wandering from case to case for a few minutes when I met Karen, the proprietor. After describing my wife and her tastes Karen laid out 4 or 5 different pieces in my budget and then spent the next 45 minutes helping me decide. Even though I wasn’t a big spender she gave me her undivided attention and really had my best interest at heart. I then happened to stop by the watch case and found an outstanding piece. Daniel Diamonds carries a number of excellent brands that are not easy to find in your average mall-chain jewelery store and not only are they beautiful they are also high-quality. Karen handed me off to Kellie and Kellie spent another 30 minutes with me helping me make the difficult decision. At the end of the day I walked out with a new necklace for my wife and a new watch for myself and a new go-to destination when it comes to jewelery. I cannot recommend Daniel Diamonds highly enough. The personal service, the prices, and the selection are all top notch. Do your jewelery shopping there. You will not be disappointed.

After finding out about Daniel Diamonds, I have made it a point to stop by the store every time I’m in the Denver area. Danny and Karen are friendly and warm, and the selection is top notch. I’ve bought more than a few gorgeous watches from them(guys, you can easily spend more time looking at their watches than your significant other will spend looking at jewelry… the watches they carry are that nice!), as well as jewelry for a girlfriend and my mom. When other San Diegans ask if I know anyone in the jewelry business, I always refer them to Daniel Diamonds, and in fact several friends have purchased jewelry from Danny and Karen. Not knowing much at all about diamonds, it’s nice to have someone I *know* I can trust. Several times I’ve bought stones from them sight unseen. I once called Karen the day before a girlfriends birthday and said«Karen, I need a pair of diamond earrings FedEx’d to me. This is how much I want to spend». The next day, there they were — and the girlfriend loved them! In fact, when I found an old gold chain in a drawer of stuff I had forgotten about, I sent it in to Danny and Karen for scrap gold value without thinking twice. A few days later I had a check for more than fair market value. They’re truly a great business and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them for your diamond and jewelry purchases.
