Oscar's Design Jewelry

Outstanding!

by jmason63 at Citysearch

We went down to the Jewelry district to upgrade my wife's 25 year old wedding ring with bigger and better diamonds. They retained the unique design of her wedding set but increased the total diamond weight by over 400%. It looks great and she is very happy. Oscar and his staff were outstanding and even stayed late to finish the job.

Believe the hype!

I found Oscars randomly through Craigslist. Anyone who had 17 very positive reviews must be good, I thought. Turns out, the collective "thumbs up" was on the money.

I wanted to get a pearl bracelet interspersed with peridot for my wife's 30th (and to commemorate our first born due in August). Unfortunately, I had put off shopping until two days before her bday. I called Oscar for help. He had me come down asap. Not only did he come up with the perfect manifestation of this concept (with lusterous pearls and peridot stones), but he somehow managed to get the bracelet back to me the next day, in time for my wife's birthday.

I've never written a testimonial for a business on Citysearch before, but I was so impressed with my experience that I signed up just to write this review, so other emergency jewelry shoppers can know that help is out there. Thanks Oscar!

• Pros: quality stuff, excellent service, fast, affordable
• Cons: none I can think of

I've already recommended Oscar to my family and friends. You will too soon!

Oscar is the most honest, caring and respectable jeweler I have ever met. My fiance and I went ring shopping together and we both pride ourselves on being good judges of character. After we met Oscar, I told him that we had met "our jeweler" b/c although we did not find the ring of our dreams that day in the store, I knew he was someone we could trust to be honest and forthright with us. We had been shopping for two months already at this time and had met tons of jewelers, none of whom offered the reasonable prices, high quality diamonds AND honest service that Oscar did.

Two months later, my fiance got down on bended knee and asked me to marry him. No joke, the first words out of my mouth were, "My ring is so beautiful!"

Oscar had personally designed the most beautiful ring for us. After having been ring shopping for so long, my fiance knew exactly what I wanted, and asked Oscar to make it. Oscar's craftsmanship is pure excellence. You can just tell that he treats his rings like pieces of artwork that have to be of exceptional quality and perfection. He prides himself in it.

My fiance and I met approx 30 different jewelers. The nature of our profession has trained to be very detail oriented, skeptical of information presented to us, and numbers oriented. We found that Oscar far surpassed other jewelers on the basis of quality of loose diamonds, reasonableness of price, and honest service. His loose diamonds were higher in quality or equivalent to the high-end stores we visited and his prices were about $8-$10K lower than stores that rhyme with Piffany's and Tartier if you catch my drift. It all depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for rock bottom prices, you won't find them at Oscar's b/c his dedication to quality doesn't allow him to be your price-breaker discount dealer. However, if you're an intelligent consumer, you'll find that Oscar is a dream come true. I hope you've found this helpful.

• Pros: High quality, reasonable prices, honest jeweler with no pressure (Oscar, that is)
• Cons: Location I guess b/c if you're out of state, he's only got one location in downtown LA
