    David at Hakimi's Gem Import helped me with a custom engagement ring, and I could not be happier with my experience. From the first interaction, David was professional and provided incredible customer service. Any questions I had were immediately responded to, and he went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule when visiting him since I lived out of state. More than anything, I NEEDED to work with someone I could trust since I was customizing my grandmother's old diamond, and David went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and educated throughout the entire process. Last but not least, the ring their team created is gorgeous, and my fiancé couldn't be any happier. There are very few service providers out there anymore like David. I strongly advise reaching out to Hakimi's Gem Import for any of your jewelry needs. Thanks David!

    David and the entire team at Hakimi Gem made our experience so perfect. David was knowledgeable, responsive, understanding and willing to do whatever we needed in order to make our rings perfect. I can’t say enough good things about them. We got our engagement rings, wedding bands and a tennis bracelet all from Hakimi get and they are all exactly what we had hoped for. After doing our research we know that David and his team are honest about pricing and always have their client’s best interest at heart. We will continue to use Hakimi gem for all of our jewelry needs for exciting moments throughout life.

    My husband and I went to Hakimi Gem Import for my engagement ring, as well as both our wedding bands, and HIGHLY recommend them! My husband had a family diamond that he brought to David for my engagement ring, and the setting David made is gorgeous, modern, and exactly what I wanted! I have very small fingers (3.5) and my husband thought I was a full size larger, so I ended up having to come to David a few times to get the sizing perfect. David was patient, a pleasure to work with, and got my ring to fit perfect, plus he was always happy to get it cleaned in the meantime! When it was time to pick our wedding bands, we knew we had to go back to David. I wanted the band to be an exact match to my engagement ring setting and it turned out stunning. My husband got a simple gold band and wanted something comfortable since he isn’t one to wear jewelry. We both LOVE our wedding bands and Hakimi Gem Imports made everything so perfect. We will never go anywhere else for high end jewelry!

    I worked with David to reset my engagement ring. The result was absolutely beautiful and I am thrilled! I also brought several pairs of diamond earrings to him and asked if they could be combined into one pair. Again, I am thrilled and have already worn them several times! David is very easy to work with, listened to exactly what I wanted and turned that into beautiful jewelry!

    If you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed by shopping around before popping the question, look no further - I'd recommend Hakimi's Gem in a heartbeat. Having near-zero experience with jewelry prior to buying an engagement ring, David made the entire experience a breeze. I came in with a very basic internet education of the 4Cs and a mock-up I built on Blue Nile, and David not only offered better quality diamonds for significantly less, but also partnered with me to personalize the band with aquamarine gems. With a somewhat tight timeline of 3 weeks, he made the entire ring buying entire process as painless as it gets, with timely updates on mock-ups, prototypes, and pick-up. And when the moment came, without any clue a proposal was coming or input into the ring, my fiancé loved it, and receives frequent, unsolicited compliments on it going on 13 months now. My advice: go to Hakimi and rest assured knowing you're in good hands, so you can put your own focus toward the important part - the proposal itself.

    David is the best! My family has purchased several things from David, including custom jewelry and watches, and I can always count on David to provide excellent customer service, a fair price, guidance through the creative/design process, and leverage his extensive network to track down even the most specific items if not immediately available. David always follows through. We’ve referred several friends and family members, and encourage anyone looking for an engagement ring, jewelry, or luxury time piece to visit with him.

    One of my best friends recently had gotten engaged with a Hakimi Gem engagement ring. The ring David and her designed was absolutely GORGEOUS. So I made sure to drop subtle hints to my then boyfriend. It worked :)….he went to David to design my ring. I wanted a unique East-West set Oval. The two of them worked together and designed a ring beyond my dreams! I feel so lucky to wear it everyday. David is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with, he made my Fiancé feel really confident about his choices and the quality of the stone he selected. We can't wait to go back and work on our wedding bands!

    I worked with David to create an engagement ring and due to an excellent experience, went back to him for a wedding ring. He was really great to work with - very responsive via email (I had a lot of questions throughout the process), competitive prices with other businesses in the area, and great quality/look of the final products. Would definitely recommend Hakimi's Gem Import to other people looking for jewelry.

    We had a great experience with Hakimi Gem. Throughout the whole process they were thoughtful, accommodating and provided excellent service. You could tell they truly care about their customers, and we look forward to give them our business again. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Louis K. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve used Hakimi Gem several times now. First for my wife’s engagement ring and again for her wedding band. Every time David has delivered 5 Star work and satisfaction. His facilities are beautiful and his knowledge and expertise is top notch. Not to mention he is an amazing communicator and delivers on time and as promised. I have recommended him multiple times and my friends have always reported back the same satisfaction.

    I have been a customer of David for about 10 years now. I can’t speak highly enough about David and his business. He is everything you look for as a customer: listens to your needs, is patient, is responsive and confident he can deliver on what you’re looking for. David can offer full customized options with a photo of what you’re looking for and offers great suggestions. I purchased an engagement ring and band many years ago. The style was on display and they customized it with the Diamond in a bezel and it looks great. My wife gets endless compliments on her ring to this day. The diamonds are quality and have great sparkle! Many years later, David was able to get me really nice, quality pearl earrings. Years after this, David was able to offer updated appraisals on our jewelry. I wish I can give 10 stars. Their knowledge and expertise, competitive pricing and value are much appreciated. All traits of an honest jeweler you can trust! Thank you, David and staff. You have a customer for life.

    David and the Hakimi team were great. They are very knowledgeable and combed the market to find the perfect diamond while providing plenty of options. I, and more importantly my fiance, are very happy with the diamond he helped me find for her ring!

  • 5/5 Ben L. 1 year ago on Google
    David helped me buy my wife her wedding ring, a wedding band, and multiple other pieces of jewelry and watches since. He's incredibly easy to work with. I've referred him to many many future customers who have all had positive things to say.

  • 5/5 Tyler M. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible service and expertise! I purchased an engagement ring and wedding bands at Hakimi’s Gem Import. My fiancé has a unique stone that needed an equally unique setting. David sourced a perfect one that makes the ring a conversation starter wherever we go. I highly recommend David and Hakimi’s Gem Import to anyone looking for attention to detail and amazing design services.

  • 5/5 Jason W. 2 years ago on Google
    David Hakimi was an absolute pleasure to work with. He first walked me through what I needed to know when purchasing a diamond and was very patient with all my questions. His prices were much better than other vendors I spoke to when discussing the same size/quality. Even though I'm not a local buyer, he video chatted each step of the build to make sure I was comfortable with the product I purchased. I can't stress how helpful and easy it was working with him. It also helps that I now have a fiancé as a result of all the hard work!

    David was very helpful and professional in guiding us through purchasing and creating our wedding and engagement rings. He helped us develop the perfect styles we wanted. I would strongly recommend his services! We absolutely LOVE our rings!

  • 5/5 Jeff A. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I worked with David in creating my wife's custom engagement ring as well as for both of our wedding bands. I looked at a lot of jewelers before going with Hakimi, no one else came close in terms of service, fairness, and responsiveness. When we had a question or issue David went out of his way to help, and made sure we were happy with everything. Will definitely go back for future fine jewelry purchases.

  • 5/5 Tom M. 6 months ago on Google • 1 review
    David was extremely helpful when I was purchasing an engagement ring. He took time to understand what exactly we wanted and Hakimi Gem had a multitude of options that fit the criteria I was looking for. Most importantly he was extremely comforting throughout the entire process, which I greatly appreciate since it is a massive life event. We went back to get the wedding band, as expected, it turned out absolutely perfect also.

    So happy to work with David! Recommended by friends; I had a repair that they took care of during their busiest season! Delightful, professional, beautiful merchandise as well! Highly recommend.
