NOTHING SHORT OF EXCEPTIONAL
After visiting many local jewelers, hours of diamond education, and days of online pricing, my husband and I purchased an exquisite 2 carat yellow diamond in a magnificent setting from McGivern diamonds. If you need a trustworthy, attentive, creative, talented jeweler, look no further. I quote from one of Mike’s reviewers to best describe the experience - his customer service and professionalism was “nothing short of exceptional”. He knows his diamonds and is not hesitant to share his knowledge. The diamond itself was 10-30% higher in price at other on-line sites. This diamond will be my daughter’s legacy, which will be cherished and treasured for many years. This was our first on-line diamond purchase and Mike will ALWAYS handle our jewelry needs.

Trust and Honesty
I have purchased 2 diamonds from Mike and I feel I am dealing with an honest and trustworthy person. I received the diamonds I ordered with the exact specifications. To go anyplace else is a waste of time.

We could not be more pleased!
We purchased an engagement ring setting from McGivern Diamonds and could not be more pleased. When I called, I always was able to speak to Michael directly, and he was very helpful during the ordering process. When the ring was delivered, it was packaged carefully and arrived safely. Rather than return the setting to McGivern when I found a stone, I went to my local jeweler. He immediately recognized the ring's manufacturer, and assured me that it was of the highest quality. When he learned how much I had paid for the setting, he sheepishly admitted that I had gotten a VERY GOOD deal and that, while he could have ordered the setting for me, he could not have done it for the same price. Once the diamond was set, the ring appraised for MUCH higher than the cost paid. My experience purchasing through McGivern Diamonds was first-rate, and I highly recommend them! Thanks, Michael!!

Exceptional Service, Exceptional Quality
First let me start off by saying "Thank You" We hunted high and low to find the best person to create a ring for our engagement. We went to every store, website etc. We are research maniacs. I spoke with Michael on the phone and immediately was impressed with his knowledge and understanding of our budget and what we were looking for. He took as much time as I needed and always was available to help with advise in making the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I placed him on an impossible time constraint in producing this ring as I had a date in mind and as a typical man waited to long. Michael assured me that he would do his very best and I can tell you he went above and beyond to make an amazing thing happen for us. My soon to be wife couldn't be more happy with the final product and I could not be happier with the amazing service and care that you placed on this for us. If there is anyone thinking about purchasing an engagement ring and you go anywhere else "YOU HAVE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE" Thank you again for what you created for us and please feel free to have anyone contact me about our experience. Respectfully, Todd

5 star service, 5 star diamond
I got very lucky that I found McGivern Diamonds. We had spent about 3 months trying to find the perfect diamond. The process was anything but simple - we searched high and low for the perfect diamond in cut, color, clarity & size. Finding something that fit our parameters AND our budget looked to be impossible. We visited a dozen or so local jewelers and probably about 30+ websites. Then we found McGiverns. Mike was a big help throughout the process - describing the diamond to me, and helping us work through a fairly complicated financial transaction. Mike's communication and helpfulness were the reason we were able to get the diamond of our dreams. After we worked everything out financially, we received our diamond. It was perfect. Clean, white, and beautiful. McGiverns was a pleasure to do business with and I recommend them without hesitation.

Highly recommend McGivern Diamonds
I could not give a higher recommendation for McGivern Diamonds. I bought an engagement ring with them eleven years ago and have been a return customer...most recently buying my wife a 10 year anniversary band. The prices are the best I have found anywhere, the quality has been amazing and the service could not be better. Mike will work directly with you on the phone to review your order and make sure you are 100% satisfied. I even exchanged a ring and the process could not have been simpler. I am very excited that I have an jeweler who I can completely trust with all my online purchases.

Fantastic experience
First of all, I never write reviews of any kind, but I was so impressed with McGivern Diamonds that I had to. At first I was very hesitant about ordering an engagement ring and wedding band online due to the fact that I couldn't see them in person. However, as soon as I started emailing Mike at McGivern Diamonds I felt a lot more comfortable. I knew he was trustworthy and genuine right from the start. Mike would immediately respond to all my emails and questions with honest answers and opinions. No matter what concerns or questions I had, Mike would always follow through with a quick response. He gave me a great deal that I could no way have found here in Hawaii. The ring and band were custom made and ready in 2 weeks and send via fed ex overnight all the way to Hawaii! Once I received the ring and band, I was stunned! It was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. My fiance loved it and couldn't be happier. I know making such a big purchase online can be frightening, but everything went smooth and with Google Checkout that McGivern Diamonds uses, all purchases are safe and secure. I will definitely refer friends and family to Mike at McGivern, and I will definitely continue to make purchases from him. The professionalism and top notch service Mike gives his customers is unbeatable.

I'm flabbergasted!!!! My enagagement ring is amazing and perfect. Im sooo happy with McGivern's work. I honestly had two nightmares that the ring might be ugly. Can't wait to show it off at work. I will most definitely recommend your company! I was pleased with the CAD image provided. The service was quick and accurate as well. The quality of the ring is noticeable!

This is the only place I buy jewelry for my wife.
I came across Mcgivern's website back in 2003. I was lookign for a loose diamond and custom mount for an egagement ring. The quality and price were right in line and our expectations were exceed when it came to service. Michael McGivern took the time to call us the day after the ring had arrived to make sure we were happy. Since then, as a family, we have purchased earrings, bracelets and various other pieces over the years. We simply won't buy diamond jewelry anywhere else. Thanks, Franco V. NAshville, TN.

Superior Quality & Custom Craftsmanship!
Our first experience with Mike was five years ago when we asked him to source a 2+ ct Asscher to upgrade my existing wedding set. His prices were extremely competitive and his insights invaluable, and we got a gorgeous stone at a sensational price. Fast forward another five years, and we commissioned Mike again to redesign my existing ring setting to better showcase that Asscher. Once again, Mike delivered! He used the base of my ring but then surrounded the Asscher with a halo of deep-blue French Cut sapphires. I'm not talking about a run-of-mill, ubiquitous halo design-- NO WAY -- these sapphires are superior quality, hand-cut, oddly-shaped gems that were chiseled to specifically fit to around the angled perimeter of the Asscher, and can only be described as glistening! Seriously, light literally bounces off my ring. It is an exquisite Art Deco design. So trust him -- he offers the best quality and price, and will not disappoint!

This is a first rate jeweler who will provide your piece of jewelry beyond your imagination.
I have purchased several pieces of expensive jewelry from Michael and have found that each was beyond what I could have dreamed of. They were perfectly done, every bit the piece I had asked for and at a price that literally blows local stores away. Everyone is and should be concerned dealing over the internet for an expensive jewelry item but you can rest assured that he is honest true and extremely fair. I'm proud to say all of this so anyone reading can buy what they want and know they are in the safest of hands. In short, he is the best and the last jeweler i'll ever have to deal with.

First Class, honest, highest quality service!
Initially cautious about buying expensive jewelry online, I did extensive research and communicated with Mike McGivern via E-Mail and phone. I came to recognize that the place was "for real" and that Mike was a straight talking, honest, reputable person and a great source of knowledge. He was always very accessible, promptly responding to E-Mails and available on the phone. Mike was willing to offer his personal opinions, in subjective comparison, of various stones, beyond the usual 4 C's. I bought the stones and had McGivern's design and construct a custom setting, which is beautiful and more than met my expectations. The designs were CAD created and presented to me via E-Mail for approval. After a few back and forth modifications in design, the ring was constructed and delivered. All, at what I believe to be a very reasonable price. We are very pleased and highly recommend McGivern's!

Unbelievable quality with honest service!
As several others have mentioned, I was initially very hesitant to but an expensive piece of jewelry online. I did a great deal of research on diamonds, and figured out exactly what I wanted. I was then referred to McGivern Diamonds by a friend. Mike had a diamond listed online that "seemed: to fit all of the characteristics that I wanted. After an e-mail exchange, and reassurances that I could return the diamond if it was not what I wanted, I had it shipped to me. My breath was taken away when it arrived as the diamond was even more beautiful than any I had previously looked at. I then picked out a mounting after consulting Mike, and just received the completed ring. Breathtaking. Every step of the way, Mike was genuine, honest, and a great help. I can guarantee that i will be purchasing jewelry from Mike from now on.

Great! Will do business with again!
Mike, the owner, was the only person I spoke with and responded within an hour. Great guidance and advice along the way. My first order was returned, with return shipping paid. It was of utmost quality, but I found a larger stone I just had to have! Next order arrived few days later and was gorgeous. Pros- Free return shipping / Fast shipping Great (and honest) customer service Great pricing Works with Palladium (a metal I was set on having) Real photos of stones available Quarter sizes available (ex. 5.75) Cons- Many EGL stones. If you know a little about them and use photos this isn't an issue at all, however. Will be returning for wedding bands.

Did poor repair of my mother's ring!
I took my mother's wedding ring that I wanted to wear to have resized. Ring was resized, but the band broke! I took it in and was told that the setting was too large for the band. I asked why wasn't I told that when I brought it in before. I would have done what was needed at that time. I took it to another jeweler and it repaired the correct way. It looks beautiful now. That jeweler said it should have been done for free from you! My husband and I have done business with you several times in past. We liked your father much better! Never will step foot in your business again or will I refer to anyone either! Vicki Hetrick
