A hidden gem among a sea of tourist attractions. We purchased two rings from them. A wedding ring for myself and a sapphire solitaire my wife. The service and friendliness was great. We didn't feel the sales pressure like other stores. For my wife's solitaire, she wanted a light pink sapphire, which was rather rare. They looked for a stone for us for months before we found right right one. The family run vibe is great compared to the high-end chains!

We have done business with Diamond Source twice SO FAR. We had such a great experience the first time that I called Marco from out of state and ordered another custom ring for Valentines day. It is beautiful! She loves it. Marco is a master at his craft.

We have been going here for years. They have beautiful, quality jewelry. I highly recommend Doamond Source! The gems & Diamonds are top quality. Very sparkly! So much to choose from. Yet not the waist of money bad quality you find at mall Kay or Zales. There is just no comparison. If you are investing in a piece you plan on wearing the rest of your life, it should be one you can be proud of. Just what you will get at the Diamond Source!

Fantastic jewelry store! I grew up here in San Diego listening to Marcos radio commercials on the school bus. When it came time to buying an engagement ring for my wife, I went to all the major ring stores first to get an average pricing and design concept. But it was when I went to The Diamond Source, that I could tell the night and day difference. I was able to speak directly with Marco, and designed my wifes ring with him! The ring was more beautiful, was built with better quality (Platinum over White Gold) and even had clearer Diamonds, and to make it all better, the ring cost way less
