Charlie in Birmingham was incredible at helping my husband pick out my engagement ring and our bands! We live out of state and they went above and beyond to make our experience stress free and easy! We LOVE Diamonds Direct!!

Best custom jeweler in the state of Florida!

My fiancé had the opportunity to sit down with Gary and David, and design my engagement ring using computer softwares to truly envision what the final product would be. He was wowed, as he was always greeted into the store with his choice of champagne or beer. Their customization is unlimited and they are even home to the Sunshine Cut diamond, only available at this Diamonds Direct. Having known Gary and his family both professionally and personally, they are just all-around AMAZING people and make the entire process so special. We are looking forward to designing our wedding bands with them this summer. Thank you SO much, Diamonds Direct!

I love my ring!

My fiance purchased my ring from Diamonds Direct in OKC. I sent him a picture of what I wanted and that's exactly what I got! The pricing is very reasonable and the quality is great! I love my ring!

Great Selection

Diamonds Direct had such a great selection of wedding bands and at wonderful prices! We modified my band a bit and weren't satisfied when it came in, so they rush re-ordered and we got it just in time. I could not be happier with it!

We custom designed an engagement ring with David and Karen. They are both terrific, and they go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. They stand behind their product and are proactive in their approach, but were never pushy and never tried to up-sell. We will be going here first for all jewelry needs in the future.

We love supporting local businesses and am very happy to have them part of our journey. My husband worked with them to design my engagement ring and then we purchased our wedding bands there.
