Great Service, Great Product

I went to INTA Gems with my fiance (now wife) to look at designs and get a custom sapphire engagement ring. I needed a custom design because we were going to take out the sapphire from a family heirloom ring and put it in a new ring that she described and I designed. Steve did a great job of showing me some designs, working with me to flesh out the final design I had in my head, and negotiating the details. In one day we got the design details worked out, settled on a price, took out the sapphire from its previous setting, measured for rings, and picked out wedding bands. Two days later I realized that I had forgotten one small design detail. I called Steve, rushed down to his shop, and drew out the detail, and it was no problem for him to add it in. The ring arrived a week and a half ahead of schedule and looked great, along with its matching band and my wedding band. When I proposed, my fiance loved it and said I did a great job of designing what she wanted. The only thing that threw her off a little bit is that the ring box INTA gave me is pretty large--at first she didn't think it was a proposal because of the ring box size, hehe. At any rate, INTA did a great job on the rings and the box was not very big of an issue. Thank you Steve for making me look good! Thanks also for helping us out with a re-sizing, multiple swapouts of my band, and for generally being available and giving great service. I didn't expect the process of ring-shopping to be as quick, easy, and comfortable as Steve made it. I would recommend INTA to any of my friends and family. Thanks again!
- Pros: Great Finished Product, Great Service, Flexibility
- Cons: Huge ring boxes

Long story short, only INTA Gems was able to supply me with an ideal diamond that fit my exact specs. I must have shopped about 2 dozen competitors and only INTA had what I was looking for.
INTA Gems always treats me great and that is why I continue to go to them year after year.
- Pros: Superior customer service, easy to talk to, wide variety
- Cons: Not applicable
THERE IS A REASON FOR THE 5 STAR RATING!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Peter and being able to get my engagement ring from him! I had purchased the diamond separately from a wholesaler before I had discovered Inta Gems. I was not having any luck finding a setting I liked, much less finding someone that would set a diamond that wasn't theirs. Peter SAVED ME! Not only did I find the EXACT setting I was looking for at Inta Gems, his setters set my diamond for me!! It was a risky set due to an extremely thin girdle so I lucked out!! I am so thankful for these people and will recommend them to EVERYONE looking for the perfect ring!! I can't wait to go back to pick out the wedding bands! Thank you Peter!!!!
- Pros: customer service and quality!!
- Cons: none
Wonderful Experience.

Took a two hour drive down to LA Jewelry Mart to compare prices with that of our local community. Not only did we find there was an overwhelming selection...the prices were definitey worth the drive! We had read good referrals about Inta Gems so we wanted to make it a point to find this particular place. As we walked along we went into three other places. We found each experience to be a good one. The selection was good, the prices were EXCELLENT, the people were very nice, and not too pushy.
When we entered Inta Gems, we were greeted by the owner, Jerry Young. He introduced us to a sales associate who began searching for what we were looking for. During that time, the owner's wife, Connie, made some suggestions and offered us more than reasonable prices. What set INTA GEMS apart was their attention to what WE wanted, and we could NOT have met nicer people. When all was said and done, we had bought two rings at an excellent price, they had stayed an extra hour while our rings were sized and set after locating someone who could take care of it RIGHT THERE AND THEN. We felt like we had made new friends......and we knew it was DEFINITELY worth our time/drive and we knew we'd be back in the future for additional purchases!
- Pros: nice selection, personal attention, excellent prices
- Cons: was out of town....for us
Best Experience EVER!

My fiance and I went ring shopping around the San Diego area before heading to the diamond district in LA. Everywhere we went, people were just looking to make a sale. Plus they'd always try to pressure us into buying the ring! ("The sale is only until this sunday!", "I can't hold the diamond for you unless you put down a deposit of *insert ridiculous dollar amount here*", etc).
Then comes INTA Gems... I actually found this place online. Decided to check it out based on all the positive reviews and I'm so glad I did!! Steve (and family) was so helpful and never pushy. I was super picky, but Steve remained patient with me till the end. Now I have my engagement ring on as I type this, and even now (2 months after he proposed) - I still can't stop staring at it!
Great prices for GREAT quality jewelry! And great customer service! I'll be heading back there in a few months when we start shopping for our wedding rings! =D
- Pros: great customer service, great selection, great prices!
- Cons: none!

I am very pleased to be a customer of Inta Gems. Steve Pheng took the time to explain to me what type of diamonds they offered. He never was pushy at all. If you are looking for a dealer that has excellent service and great prices for high quality diamonds, please go to Inta Gems.
Thanks,

My wife and I were looking for a place in downtown L.A. to fix her diamond ring. When we got to INTA Gems, we were blown away with their hospitality and knowledge of jewelry. They thoroughly explained the possibilities that we could do with my wife's ring. At the end, we opted for keeping my wife's diamond, and making a totally new diamond ring to her own liking. Thank you INTA Gems, especially Steve and Mom. They will know who wrote this review because they say they like teachers!(an inside joke!!!!!)
