Look for Hand-Selected, Carefully Curated Stones From Around The Globe

With lifestyle brands and customized services dominating the way consumers make purchases in today’s economy, your diamond buying experience should be no different.  Expect the best – and you’ll get it – especially when you work with established diamond specialists.  You’ll know them right away because they’ll be more concerned with helping their customers to appreciate the artistry and beauty of diamond design than in racking up a sale at any cost.

For a premium shopping experience with fine jewelry prices affordable to every budget, consider visiting the diamond experts at the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery Studio City. Led by Diamantaire and designer Johnny N, the store’s team offers clients a diamond viewing and buying experience that’s more like a guided tour through a diamond gallery than a stop at your typical retail store.

Located in the heart of the “red carpet district,” the store received “Favorite Jewelry Store” honors and lists customer referrals as its number one form of business. With their signature slogan, “real diamonds, real affordable,” the spot offers a huge selection of GIA and EGL-certified and conflict free diamonds with L.A.’s best deals at 50-75% below retail pricing daily.  As direct diamond importers, the store is able to offer deep discounts to clients without compromising quality.

Diamond and Jewelry Gallery creates designs for any budget — all for 50-75% off retail.

And though you may be hearing a lot about laboratory created diamonds right now, at the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery Studio City, you won’t find any of these trendy diamond imposters in the showcases. Unlike real diamonds, which form over millions of years in a natural, geological process, lab-created diamonds are developed through an artificially sped-up engineering process.

“Lab-created diamonds are essentially microwave diamonds,” says Johnny N. “The mystique of a real diamond is its one-of-a-kind nature and rarity.  Each one is truly a work of art unto itself.”

Find the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery on the marquis corner of Ventura Boulevard and Whitsett at 12456 Ventura Boulevard in Studio City – and grab a spot in their courtesy parking lot out back. While you’re there, ask about their unbeatable limited time offer of a free matching wedding band with any diamond engagement ring purchase. Call 818-982-4444; or visit diamondandjewelrygallery.com.

TRENDS: Criss-Cross Rings! Take a Look at This Hot 2018 Engagement Ring Look!

Wednesday, August 1st, 2018

Sunny, blue-hued skies, soaring temperatures and oh-so-obviously in love couples strolling along every boardwalk… It’s wedding season and time to share another one of 2018’s hottest engagement ring trends. Today, we take a look at the “Criss-Cross Ring.”

2018, criss cross ring, 2

Criss-Cross rings are having their own moment in the sun, with more and more brides-to-be opting for this fresh, modern take on the traditional engagement ring. The look works by layering, or “criss-crossing” two or more bands to create a stunning web-like base for the center stone. The Criss-Cross ring, with its eye-popping design, is a great way to showcase an amazing stone. It’s also an excellent engagement ring choice for the woman who wants something entirely different from the rings her “besties” are flashing.

What diamond cuts look the best with Criss-Cross setting? Because of the already intricate lacing of the bands, the look works best with simple round or oval cut stones. You’ll dazzle when you create your new ring with beautiful rose gold, yellow gold or platinum metals. Or, take it up a notch and dazzle with bands in eye-popping mixed metals. The Criss-Cross ring is a look that is all at once bold, sexy and daring – just like the love you are sharing!

If you’re shopping for your dream engagement ring, consider visiting the experts at the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery Studio City, voted “Favorite Jewelry Store” with 50-75% off retail pricing every day and customer referrals as their number one form of business. For a limited time, the store is featuring an unbeatable special with a free matching wedding band along with every diamond engagement ring purchase. Find them at 818-982-4444; or visit diamondandjewelrygallery.com.

TRENDS: The East/West Setting! Look at This Hot 2018 Engagement Ring Look!

Monday, June 25th, 2018

It’s engagement season! That means that we’re once again seeing happy couples excitedly shopping for engagement rings together as well as expectant brides-to-be dropping not so subtle hints to nervous grooms from the sidelines.

One thing to remember is that an engagement ring is much more than expensive eye candy, it’s both a symbol of your commitment and an expression of your personal style. If you’re lucky enough to be engagement ring shopping right now – and adventurous enough to be looking for something different – consider trying on one of 2018’s hottest engagement ring trends. It’s called the East/West Setting – and it’s literally a new “twist” on more traditional diamond stone settings.

2018, East West Setting

With the East/West Setting, you go just a little “Feng Shui” and shake things up by flipping your diamond horizontally, so that its ends are facing out in an East/West position, instead of the more traditional North/South diamond settings. It’s unique enough to make admirers of your ring take a second and third look, but elegant enough to ensure that your ring is timeless and classic.

What diamond cuts look the best with an East/West setting? The look works best with the stunning emerald cut diamond as well as elegant oval cuts. Both look amazing when flipped onto their side; particularly when paired with a super trendy rose gold band, or the more traditional platinum, white and yellow gold options. The East/West setting is a look that is all at once romantic, timeless and different – like the love you are celebrating.

If you’re shopping for your dream engagement ring, consider visiting the experts at the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery Studio City, voted “Favorite Jewelry Store” with 50-75% off retail pricing every day and customer referrals as their number one form of business. For a limited time, the store is featuring an unbeatable special with a free matching wedding band along with every diamond engagement ring purchase. Find them at 818-982-4444; or visit diamondandjewelrygallery.com.

The Ultimate Engagement Ring Checklist

Sunday, March 13th, 2016

By TLO

Preparing for a proposal can be a nail biting experience; especially when it comes to selecting the much anticipated engagement ring. Since the perfect proposal begins with the perfect ring, you can avoid some of the pressure by getting a plan together. Here’s the “Ultimate Engagement Ring Checklist” to get you started…

#1. GET AN IDEA: Have you been given any hints about the diamond shape, metal and carat size that would make the perfect ring? If so, listen; because you are now equipped with one of the most important “Honey-Do” lists you will ever have. Having an idea of what your intended likes ensures that you purchase a ring that will be pleasing no matter you budget range. It also makes your meeting with a jeweler more productive. You may also want to ask close friends or family members if they have any ideas about the type of ring desired. It’s not absolutely necessary, but, if possible, bring a picture or drawing of your desired ring. Remember what they say: “A picture is worth a thousand words.” A good one may also save you a thousand headaches if it helps you avoid giving a ring that never gets worn.

#2. GET THE 411: Familiarize yourself with the “Four C-s,” the diamond basics every engagement ring shopper should know below.


-Carat: The “carat” refers to the actual weight and dimensions of an individual diamond. Simply put, a carat speaks to how “big” the diamond is. Each individual diamond, depending on its cut, color, and clarity, will be priced differently per carat. For example, a smaller stone of higher quality may cost the same as a bigger stone of lesser quality.

-Cut: The cut refers to – not to the shape of the diamond – but to how the diamond is trimmed and formed from within its original shape. The cut determines the dazzle and brilliance your diamond. When cut properly, your diamond will sparkle and shine for a lifetime. There are many traditional cut diamonds, with round brilliant most popular one. Other basic cuts are Pear, Princess, Heart, Oval, Marquise, and Emerald.

-Color: Diamond “color” refers to the actual tint within the color of the diamond. Colors come in a range of beautiful options, from “colorless” and “near colorless” to what are termed as “fancy color” diamonds. Color is determined along a “D” to “Z” tint range. The often sought after “colorless” diamonds start the scale at “D;” and “Z” diamonds indicate a pale yellow or brown tint. Colorless diamonds are often the most desired and are on the higher end of the price scale.

-Clarity: A diamond with a lesser degree of flaws will be more valuable than one with more obvious imperfections. If the flaws (or inclusions) are difficult to locate, the stones are graded VS , which stands for very slight inclusions. If they are easy to locate under magnification, the stone is graded SI clarity or slight inclusions.

Did you know there is also a Fifth C?” Coined by the experts at the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery Studio City, the “Fifth C” stands for cost. And, here’s where that comes in…

#3. GET A BUDGET: Size matters if budget and cost figure very heavily into your plan. If that’s the case, opt for a higher quality diamond that may be smaller in carat size but is of a higher quality when it comes to the clarity and color. You can always upsize the diamond later and it will be worth more when the time comes to sell it or trade it in toward a larger diamond. An expert jeweler can advise you on choosing the highest quality diamond within your budget range.

#4. GET THE DETAILS: Paying attention to details will make all the difference in the ultimate look of your ring.

-Metals: The most popular choices are white gold, yellow gold or platinum. Currently white gold and platinum are the most popular, but rose gold is trending, quickly becoming a favorite choice for many. When in doubt, ask; or pay attention to the other jewelry your intended wears most often and choose the metal in accordance with that.

-Settings: Almost every engagement ring you find features some variation of two popular settings to hold the center stone in place. The most common setting is the prong setting, which uses thin metal prongs that move from the ring base to the top edges of the diamond center stone to hold it in place. Another popular one is the bezel setting, which safely encircles the center stone in a metal rim. Choosing between the two – or from the many other setting options – will determine the look and profile of your ring.

-Side Stones or Halo: Side stones refer to the smaller diamonds situated on either side of your center stone. Popular choices are 3-stone and 5-stone rings. A Halo is an accentuating row or “halo” of small diamonds that surround your selected center stone. Rings with halo detailing can make your selected center stone seem much larger.

Lastly – and this one has everything to do with the experience you will have…

#5. GET A DIAMOND GUY: Buy your ring from a trusted and reputable jeweler with a proven track record for excellence. Read reviews, see what others are saying about their shopping experience. Work with a jeweler who is also a direct diamond importer which ensures that you are not paying extra money for the scouting services of a middleman. No matter what your budget, the engagement ring purchase is one of the most important investments you will make. Choosing the right jeweler, or “diamond guy” will make all the difference in the impact that your ring will have when you present it.

The smart and highly-reviewed choice is the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery Studio City, voted “Favorite Jewelry Store” by the L.A. Daily News. In business as direct diamond importers for more than 40 years, and with customer referrals as their number one form of business, they offer one of L.A’s largest selections of certified EGL and GIA diamonds with discounts often at 50-75% below retail.

“King of Stones:” The Ever Powerful Ruby Gemstone

Sunday, May 17th, 2015

2015, Diamond and Jewelry Gallery, pic, ruby ring with center marquis diamond, shield

Often said to be the most magnificent of all gemstones, the ruby holds fire red prominence as one of the most sought after and highly regarded stones. In fact, the boldly beautiful gem is often called the “king of stones.” With its name stemming from the Latin word for “red,” this striking beauty of a gem engenders notions of power and nobility.

The Meaning of Rubies

Thought of as the ultimate symbol of power, rubies are said to stimulate sensuality, energy and vitality.

Throughout history, the ruby has been highly regarded by multiple cultures. For many, it was symbolic of power, passion and protection. Throughout history, the ruby was worn as a decorative shield against plague and pestilence. It was also thought to be able to signal impending danger, safeguard the body and ward off sadness.

Today, the ruby is prized for its deeply intense and fiery beauty. It is also the birthstone of those lucky enough to be born in the month of July.

Diamonds… A Girl’s (And Investor’s) Best Friend!

DIAMONDS – THE SPARKLINGAPRIL BIRTHSTONE!

Watch this video! Find L.A ‘s best diamond deals from the industry leader and Diamantaire ” Johnny N” at the diamond and jewelry Gallery Studio

You don’t need a reason to purchase beautiful, high-quality diamonds. Traditionally, you’re already buying them for engagements, weddings, graduations and special occasions. Or, maybe you’re shopping for diamonds just because you love their fiery brilliance.

But just in case you need a little help justifying your next diamond purchase, how about trying this on for size? Financial reports are now showing that diamonds (and gold) are actually really good investments – often yielding even better returns than the traditional “market.” With that in mind, you can crank up some major support for your next diamond purchase by thinking of it – and referring to it – as your next “investment.” Here’s why…

Recent studies indicate that high-quality diamond purchases rack up profits that are just as stunning as their inevitable sparkle. According to recent 2015 Rapaport Diamond Statistics Report that tracked return on investments (ROI) over a ten year period, for every $1000 invested, a 5-carat diamond purchased in 2005 showed a profit of more than $1300, whereas “market” investments (Dow Jones and NASDAQ) showed much more modest profits, at $1210 and $674, respectively. In the same study, gold performed even better. For the same period, for every $1000 invested, gold demonstrated an actual profit of more than $1699.

With rock solid numbers like those, it proves that diamonds and gold really can be a girl’s (and an investor’s) best friend!

Shop with the award-winning Diamantaires and designers at the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery Studio City for your next fine jewelry “investment.” As Direct Diamond Importers, the Diamond and Jewelry Gallery Studio City ranks as L.A.’s #1 Diamond Source, offering one of the largest selections of GIA & EGL diamonds for 50-75% below retail. Or, increase your investing power by taking advantage of the value in diamonds you already own by trading them in for larger or higher quality stones.
