    Probably the best place in the world to buy serious diamonds. You get basically wholesale-like prices. Mike is a gentleman and goes to tremendous lengths to make sure customers are satisfied. Bought and later sold an investment stone (vicinity $40,000) from Mike, i would absolutely trust him with any business matter. I am extremely lucky to have found McGivern's and wouldn't use any other dealer. Five star plus, enjoy.

    After trying to get diamond information from 2 other online diamond companies that are very well known I was almost ready to give up purchasing a stone. No one seemed interested in answering emails and giving me information on various diamonds that I had seen online. The process seemed liked too much work and aggravation. When I contacted McGivern Diamonds I was treated as if I were an important customer. All questions were answered very quickly and accurately. The diamond I was interested in was actually available and McGivern sent me the GIA information without me even asking for it. The more I dealt with them, the more their credibility rose. These folks are the real deal and are all about customer satisfaction. They are also about beautiful products. The women's diamond ring was absolutely beyond compare--the diamond itself is the most exquisite I have ever seen. And added note--We also purchased a man's band with 3 diamonds that we really hadn't planned on purchasing--... Read more

    Mike McGivern was absolutely a pleasure to deal with. Not only does he personally answer the telephone, he provides concise, easy to understand guidance for the lay-person. He was honest and straight-forward in his approach. I made my selection after consultation with him about my options (which was incredibly helpful for me). We worked out the delivery details, I wire-transferred the amount due, and a very nice, GIA certified diamond arrived exactly as he stated. He kept me informed by e-mail, providing tracking information, etc which allowed me to collect the package very quickly after arrival. I was able to quickly verify the GIA Certification number with the matching number laser engraved into the diamond. A very nice diamond, intended for delivery on that very special day, at a very honest, and reasonable price (after comparison shopping with major reputable on-line and box-store wholesalers in my area). He and his process are number one with me. I would refer him to ANY of... Read more

    18 years ago when I had a baby at age 43!! a treat was definitely in order. Mike was referred to me by a co-worker. My two sisters and I went to pick out my first large diamond. Mike was wonderful to work with. When I told him I wanted the biggest diamond possible within my budget Mike located a beautiful 2 carat pear stone. Over the years I have received countless gasping compliments on the ring. So recently I retired after working full time for 37 years. Again a treat was in order. I asked Mike to locate a 4 carat pear diamond . After much careful searching Mike found the most exquisite dazzling 4 carat diamond at a reasonable price. Over the years I have unhesitatedly referred many others to MIke who have in turn raved about his honesty, customer focus and great prices. People spend so much on a car without thinking about it. Its my view that spending as much on a ring you will wear every day and enjoy for a lifetime makes as much sense!

    Mr McGivern custom made beautiful diamond hoop earrnings for me at a very fair price. He was extremely concerned with my satisfaction and was willing to fix any part of the jewelry I wasn't pleased with.

    This was our second purchase from McGivern. It was certainly very nice to be able to work with Mike McGivern, the owner, directly. The service was outstanding. Mike was extremely prompt and helpful. He is very knowledgeable and professional. There was no pressure when I asked a lot of questions, he explained differences, was very responsive, very prompt and considered what is important to us, but, also pointed out best value for the money. The prices are very competitive and the entire experience with McGivern was outstanding and flawless. We will definitely use McGivern again in the future.

    Perfect experience. I have purchased several diamonds from Mike. He is always available to talk the purchase. He is very knowledgeable and upfront about what diamond would be best for the design. I had him make a custom design and it was perfect. Definitely would go back again.

    Great experience! Over a 2 week period, I talked with Mike at least ten times. He reviewed more than 30 diamonds and ultimately recommended a beautiful stone with great value. There was absolutely NO pressure and he was very patient. I have no regrets and will definitely shop with McGiverns again in the future.

    My experience with McGivern Diamonds was BEYOND my expectations. It is easy to be skeptical when making such an important and large purchase online, but after dealing with Mike, I would 100% recommend purchasing from him to my family, my friends, and absolutely anyone. He is a straight-shooter and very professional - something many other jewelers could learn from! If you are hesitant or unsure on making a purchase from him, don't be! I am thrilled everytime I look at my ring, and I am so happy I discovered this business!

    I couldn't describe my experience with Michael better than the reviews listed below. Extremely responsive, incredibly honest and fair, excellent packaging, and great stone. Any fears of purchasing something as personal as an engagement diamond on-line are simply eliminated by McGivern. Thanks Michael.

    I was looking for an engagement ring, found Mike online, and from the time I first contacted him until the end of the process, I could not have asked for a better experience. All of my contact with Mike was via email, and he was very responsive and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I needed a ring quickly, and Mike did everything he could to expedite the process. Unfortunately, my proposal did not go as expected, and I ended up returning the ring. Mike's return policy was spelled out on his website, and went exactly as promised. I returned the ring within the acceptable time frame, and Mike had a check for the full purchase amount in the mail within days. No small feat considering that the ring I purchased was close to $60K. Mike exceeded my expectations in every respect, and I will definitely use him again in the future. I would recommend McGivern Diamonds to anyone looking for professionalism, competitive pricing, and flawless service.

    Mike McGivern was extremely helpful when I was looking for a new diamond for my wife. He steared me in the right direction and I always felt he was looking out for my best interest and not just trying to upsell me. The price was the best I could find anywhere and they shipped and delivered exactly as promised, even during the Christmas rush. I am in Nashville, but I've already told my friends that the best place to buy a diamond in Nashville is in Ohio...:)

    I found a setting I loved at a retail jewelry store in Florida while on vacation. We felt it was way too expensive, so when I got back home I decided to shop via the internet. I found a few sites where I could search for diamonds and then I compared the "deals" on each site to each other. I found that McGivern Diamonds had the best prices for similar quality diamonds. I had thought I would buy a diamond from McGivern and then purchase the setting from the original store in FL, but I never heard back from the store in FL. I was able to speak directly with Michael McGivern when I called to discuss options on how to set the diamond and which diamond might be a better choice for the price. He was extremely helpful, very professional and came up with various options on how I could end up with the ring I wanted. I ordered my ring on 12/5/11 and received it today, 1/4/2012. It is just what I had hoped for and at a much better price. I am extremely satisfied with my shopping experienc... Read more

    Michael McGivern and my experience was beyond five star. I have to say I was a careful shopper, actually a difficult shopper, and Michael was more than patient with me. All of my questions were professionally answered, I ended up with exactly what I was expecting, and the service was more than prompt. None others in this business have ever afforded me such service or impartial advice. I visited the typical mall stores and checked on line where I ran across the McGivern website. There was no difficulty in navigating through it to refine what I was interested in. At that point I made my first of many calls to Michael and received immediate, impartial and expert advice. Without a doubt I will be back to McGivern Diamonds for my next purchase. Greg Hallback, Cloquet, Minnesota

    This is the second time I have purchased a item from McGivern Diamonds. The first item was my wife's engagement ring, now I returned and purchased the anniversary ring, both were in platinum. I work for a web site so online purchases are not new to me but jewelry is a very personal purchase not to be taken lightly, so I tend to be more inquisitive. Each time my concerns were addressed by either Michael or his staff in a very timely manner. They always made me feel comfortable, my business was important and the staff were my friends. I will continue to use and recommend McGivern Diamonds, Michael McGivern and his staff. Thanks again guys!

    If you are looking for someone to help guide you the process of buying a diamond, look no further. I looked all over the internet, went to 47th street in Manhattan, and really did my research. When making such an expensive purchase, you want to make sure you are dealing with someone who is knowledgable, and trustworthy. I called Mike and told him what I was looking for, and my price range. Within a day, he sent me a list of diamonds that met my specifications in addition to what he thought what be the best value for my money. They were all beautiful. The diamond that he suggested was not even the most expensive one. Let me say the diamond that I ended up buying is stunning. My fiance loves it. If you are worried about purchasing your diamond online, don't be. There is a 30 day return policy. Mike is that good and you won't be disappointed.

    5 Star all the way! I am so happy I ended up doing business with Mike at McGivern Diamonds. I went to him after I was given the run around at another jeweler. I was very nervous purchasing an engagement ring over the internet. Long story short Mike had the perfect diamond for me and was able to duplicate a setting I had seen somewhere else. The ring is spectacular. Mike's service was tremendous. He promptly answered all the emails I sent him and was patient with all of my questions. I had my ring appraised the day I received it and the ring appraised for much more than I paid for it. I am a customer for life. And by the way she said "yes"! I will not hesitate to refer friends and family to him.

    My husband and I were interesteted in upgrading my engagement ring (well I was at least). We had initially purchased the center stone through McGivern and subsequently a set of diamond earrings. Mike walked us through our options and it just arrived in FedEx along with the appraisal. It is gorgeous and has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend purchasing through McGivern and will remain a repeat customer. Susan from Seattle

    My fiance loved her ring and can't stop looking at it any smiling. After looking through the store location and the online website, Mike was very helpful and attentive to the things that she was looking for in a ring. He was able to locate the ring on their website that looked just like the picture that I had. Mike is very responsive to emails and goes out of his way to ensure customer satisfaction. The friendliness of the staff made the experience once of a lifetime. The online website is great as it has prices and good ways to limit selections. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who appreciates the customer service.

    I just received my diamond and I immediately called Mike to thank him for his amazing service and beautiful diamond. I ordered the diamond Thursday afternoon and it arrived through FedEx Saturday morning! I have spent over 3 months searching for the perfect diamond in Los Angeles where I previously lived to my new home in Pittsburgh. I had to return a Tacori engagement ring back to Los Angeles due to the ring having issues. In all I have probably been to over 50 stores. I have spent countless hours and miles going from place to place. The diamond purchased from McGiverns is amazing and for the price, It was even better. It easily blows anything away at any store I have visited for the price. The cut, clarity and color grade were spot on from the description. I was a little hesitant to purchase a diamond online at first...But after speaking to Mike felt that everything would be ok...And it sure was! I would give McGivern 10 stars if possible. Do not hesitate to call Mike and Purchase f... Read more

    I lost the diamond out of my engagement ring that I had for many many years. After checking with my local jeweler, I decided to see what was available on line. I was uncomfortable with ordering a diamond on line, but after talking to Mike I knew it would be all right. I did the diamond education they offer on the site and then went to the section of the size diamond I was going to replace. I was assured that returns were no problem and the ordering process was so simple. The day my diamond arrived I was so happy to see how beautiful it was and how careful they were in the packaging of it. I took it to my jeweler to set it and they checked the diamond and assured me it was as it was supposed to be. It was set in a Tiffany setting and I LOVE IT. I am so happy, that I tell all my friends and will surely order again. Marge

    Santa hit a home run this year!!!! I discovered McGivern Jewelers online and after talking with Mike, I decided to allow him to custom make a remount for me. When FedEx arrived I have to say, I was blown away by the results. It was made exactly how I described my wishes and the mounting was substantial and more than I could of ever dreamed of. They will certainly be my "go to" jeweler from now on, hands down. Price, quality, support, results, what more could you ask for???? Happy In TN

That was all due to Mikes help. I hope to be back soon for another one! Jackie

    I wanted a large diamond that was clean & the best value for money I could buy. Mike McGivern suggested a larger alternative & only $500 more to what I had selected that worked out to be a fantastic stone & exactly what I wanted. I am very pleased with the whole process as I had not bought a diamond online before & I will certainly be doing it through Mike again.

    I have been very happy with my experience working with Mike McGivern. My husband bought my engagement ring and diamond earrings from Mike. My brother-in-law also bought my sister's engagement ring and wedding band from him as well. When I unfortunately got divorced I was so relieved that Mike was able to help me sell my wedding ring. He is very trust-worthy and I would highly recommend McGivern diamonds to anyone.

    Part 2 - with the price of gold escalating I thought it was time to go through the jewelry I don't wear anymore. Michael had sent out an email asking former customers for any old gold, diamonds etc. and the he would send a pre-paid FedEx label. So, I gave it some thought and then got together a number of items and sent them off to McGivern. Last night he gave me a quote and I am very happy with what he is offering for items I have had sitting in the safe and no longer wearing. The "buy your gold" now advertisements on TV may wow you with their numbers but if you can't trust who you are taking it to - what good is it? by reading my review below you will know that I trust McGivern Diamonds and more specifically Michael McGivern. Don't hesitate - buy from this company or send him your old, unworn jewelry...this can be such a blind item - he is someone I wholly recommend. You won't be disappointed~!

    I purchased a ring last year from McGivern and was extremely pleased with the quality of diamond received for the price I paid - MUCH better than any local jeweler. The online information available is quite complete but when I had a question, the answers were only a phone call away. I have since had to sell the ring and once again McGivern came through offering me more than I ever expected to get. Prepaid and insured shipping and a check in just a couple days. The only place I will ever shop in the future. Thanks very much Mike Joe

    I am pretty much clueless when it comes to diamonds and Mcgiverns was amazing. I used their recommendation on a diamond and it was a huge hit. My now fiance could not be happier. I got her a bigger diamond that was a better quality for much less than most of her recent friends who got married.

    I would HIGHLY recommend McGIVERN DIAMONDS to anyone looking for their PERFECT diamond ring!! You'll be able to search through the many loose (CERTIFIED) diamonds, find the diamond that you like & fits your budget, and have it set in "whatever" setting you desire. My daughter and I both purchased 2 carat diamond rings (since it was affordable) and our settings were EXACTLY replicated after sending in our photos to McGivern Diamonds. We are both VERY PLEASED with our BEAUTIFUL diamond rings and receive compliments all the time!! I have been a customer of McGivern Diamonds for almost 10 years from the time my husband and I bought my first diamond ring. It has always been a pleasure to work with Mike McGivern since he responds almost immediately to every email or phone call and is patient enough to answer every question that I ever had. I can truly attest that McGivern Diamonds is a trustworthy and reputable company and that their top priority is customer satisfaction.

    I decided that for our 35th wedding anniversary I would get my wife a substantial diamond ring. I started my search by looking at some rings at Macy’s as I had found what I thought had been good deals in the past. The diamond rings that they showed me were smaller in weight or much higher in price than I could afford. I then went to a local jeweler to see what he could do in the way of crafting a ring for me. This effort was marginally successful in that he came up with a ring that wasn’t nearly as big as I had hoped for and was at the top end of my budget. I decided to check out some stores that had reputations as being very completive. Costco, USAA, and Blue Diamonds, just to name a few. The search also uncovered McGivern Diamonds. I went through the sorting process and came up with 5 or 6 stone that would fit my criteria. I talked to my local jeweler, who said that no one could buy a diamond at a lower price than he had from a dealer on 47th street. This dealer had access to t... Read more

    After much research I gained an understanding of diamond specifications. After visiting several jewelers we located a beautiful setting, but were dissatisfied with the balance between price and quality for the diamond. I came across McGivern diamonds, made several selections and then contacted Mike. He was quite professional and patient. I sent him several examples of what I had found through my search and he came up with a great 1.5 carat diamond of higher quality for less money. I sent him the setting and had the completed ring back within a week. My Fiance loves it! I highly recommend McGivern Diamonds if you are looking for customer service, quality, pricing and integrity!

Mike was very professional, patient, and had excellent customer service. I talked to him numerous times on the phone and he is a true expert in the field. In addition, he had GREAT customer service via email. My diamond is beautiful and the transaction/delivery was so smooth and perfect.

    I bought a 2 carat diamond from Mcgivern Diamonds and I absolutely love it. I was not sure I should buy something like this on line but everything seemed so legitimate on the web site. When I left an e-mail he got right back to me (I couldn't believe how quickly). He was so upfront about the diamonds and answered all my questions. I believe he gave me an honest assessment and price for my trade in ring. His advice about buying a GIA certificate diamond was the best I could get. Local jewelers were all telling me something different about the various certifications but Mike was very clear that the GIA was the highest quality. I emailed him and called him several times concerning various diamonds on his website. He was very patient and I believe honest in answering my many questions. I believe I got the best diamond at the best price. I looked at diamonds from Costco, Sam's Club and local jewelers and he was the least expensive for the quality I was looking for. I gasped when I got the d... Read more
