this is the third custom piece I have ordered from Gal and he outdid himself once again! he was able to accommodate the specifications I asked for perfectly and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. highly recommend Other Gems and can't wait to get another piece from them soon!

Beautiful ring ! It’s exactly what I wanted, simple and pretty. Exactly as described and even more beautiful in person. Love it so much !

Stunning quality and shipping speed! Had a slight sizing issue but they happily fixed with no problems :)

Excellent customer service and excellent quality

Beautiful ring! I replaced one I lost on the beach and was able to get a ring with more carats than the one I replaced. Very happy!

Gorgeous diamond band! From ordering to shipping it came very quickly. It was packaged very nicely with the diamond report included. Only thing I noticed was that the 14k rose gold band was not stamped with “14k”, everything I’ve ever purchased jewelry wise is always stamped. Can’t wait to purchase a 15 year engagement upgrade to match next year!

Gal is brilliant and so helpful. Thank you.

Gal was amazing to work with! My fiancé ordered my personalized engagement ring and we loved it so much we ordered my wedding band as well! I took them to get appraised for insurance purposes and they are valued at over double what we paid! Excellent customer service throughout and quick secure shipping. We will definitely work with Gal more in the future! Ordering through Etsy made us nervous but it’s the best decision we made, I got a much larger diamond than if I had bought at a US store.

This is the second ring that I’ve purchased from this company. I needed quite a bit of help with this order due to what I was looking for. They helped with everything and it came out perfectly! They even spent the time to create a mockup of how it would look before I made my purchase! I will continue to use this company for my needs! I went to get an appraisal on the first item purchased in order to get insurance and it actually appraised for more than I paid! All in all I recommend this company!

Great quality and easy transaction.

I got the diamond professionally tested with an advanced machine and it was all perfect! I’m beyond happy with my ring, it’s breathtakingly stunning! Gal was wonderful to work with!

Amazing quality! Customer service was excellent. The item was shipped quickly and securely.

The picture doesn’t show how beautiful this really is! I can’t express how happy I am with this purchase! Excellent and friendly customer service. It shipped in one week and arrived quickly. Certification is real, and I even took the ring to my local jeweler who verified it’s all real.

Absolutely stunning. Great customer service.

Stunning quality and shipping speed! Had a slight sizing issue but they happily fixed with no problems :)

Perfect ring, i love it!

This was one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. I asked so many questions before I ordered my ring and once I received it I decided the stone wasn't the right one for me. I communicated this to them and we had a new ring in the mail within a day. Unreal customer attention everyone. I can't recommend Gal and his team enough.

My ring is absolutely stunning. Better than my expectations.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about OtherGems. I bought this as an anniversary present for my wife. Once I placed my order Gal kept me updated throughout the ring making process, sending mock ups and even final pictures before shipping. Shipping was very securely packed and arrived very fast. The ring itself is even more beautiful in person. Craftsmanship is amazing. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. 100% recommend buying from OtherGems.

Soooo in love with my ring!😍 OG was so accommodating with my requested payment plan. They had sent me a video and picture to show me how the ring looked in more detail as I was a bit nervous about this big purchase. The pictures they had posted were beautiful, but does not do it justice in real life! My ring is color graded K, however looks almost white in bright lights. But in dimmer rooms...it sparkles like crazy...and shows a champagne gold warm color when you look closely . Definitely happy with my new shiny. Oh, and the shipping was amazing. Received in within days of my last payment. Again, thank you so much OG!

Gal was absolutely wonderful to deal with! The ring was PERFECT and she loves it!!! Would highly recommend dealing with Gal!
