This was the first time I'd been diamond shopping. The owner is kind and honest, and the process was straightforward and fast. I would highly recommend giving this shop a visit and supporting their business.

Where to start? I bought a guan yin jade and needed a clasp and backing done to turn it into a necklace. A friend recommended this place to me and I went in to get this done. Not even a few weeks later, the clasp turned dark and the chain started to have these gold specks come off. On the invoice, this was supposed to be 18k gold, but from the looks of it, I don't think so and I'm not really sure I should be wearing this on my skin. See for yourself.

If you know me well enough, I'm the type of girl that loves dainty cheap fake gold (lol) or jade (the real kind). Honestly, the only real gold I have is a necklace my mom bought for me when I was a child. I still wear it to this day but haha... that's all I have. Diamonds? HAHA. Yeah no. I lose so many earrings that I can never own any real ones. So it's the cubic zirconias for me. But... JADE. Jade is something I LOVE. I can tell a fake jade when I see one. I bought a jade pendant many years ago and decided it was time to purchase a new pendant, a Guan Yin pendant to be precise. I would stroll by jewelers in Grand Century and leave empty handed all the time. I just couldn't justify paying so much for a pendant lol. But after visiting and looking at so many recently I decided to purchase one and this time, it was with Ky Tran Jewelry! This jewelry store is one of many at Grand Century. They've got security guards with their eyes on you at all times. It is owned by a lovely elderly couple who is friendly and not pushy at all. They're also certified through the Gemological Institute of America (see photo attached)! They carry a huge array of jade, gold, silver, and some diamonds. I walked-in and was offered a seat. There I was for the next 1.5 hours looking at which jade to purchase. The woman who assisted me was very friendly and extremely patient. No hard sell, nothing, just a good conversation. I narrowed my choices to 2 and even then I had a hard time choosing. I even brought my own mini flashlight to verify the authenticity of the jade too lol. After finally picking what I wanted I headed over to the gold. I thought about purchasing a chain but after finding out it was 3k, I thought to myself pass.... Lol. Anywho, this review could have been shorter, but I'm happily typing lol. I paid and the lady wrote up a receipt. She cleaned my gem and prepped it a cute tiny box. I left really happy. So for those of you who are looking to purchase some beautiful jewelry, I suggest you come here!

My daughter's first birthday is in a few days and I wanted to get her a gold bracelet. After visiting many stores inside of Grand Century, I decided to stop by Ky Tran Jewelry. They gave me the best price for the weight of gold and also engraved the bracelet free of charge! I recommend you stopping by this jewelry store as they are owned by an elderly couple. Business has been slow due to COVID so please come help them out!

I highly recommend people to do business with this store if you don't want to have headache or go through multiple dramas of buying a diamond. This is the second time I buy luxury stuff, so I am smarter to help myself off the hook. I did search DiAmonds which have GIA certificates on rare carat website before heading to jewelry stores. Firstly, I went to shop around at Vinh Thanh, Thanh Tin and Hung Phat since I thought they give more choices of pendants. Staff at these stores pretended to be nice to me. They gave advice on what I should buy and said that they offered me good prices because they like me, or something like that. Actually, the prices are still overprice. They turned around when I asked if they could find the diamond I found as a great deal on online since they are unable to make much profit as they expected. I felt tired to play mind game with them to buy a necklace. Luckily, we ended up with Ky Tran since the lady here made me feel comfortable by her honest and patient on the first day I stopped by their shop, then we came back on the next day. I totally surprise that they gave me a price of a diamond 0.5 carat which is analyzed as a great price by rare carat website without my bargain. That's time, I know I should definitely put my foot down here to buy a diamond necklace after 1 month searching. Uncle Ky and his wife patently helped me change and look for the pendant I like. They never rushed me to make a decision or got angry even I kept trying many pendants on for a hour. I also felt a little bit guilty because of my picky. Finally, I purchased a diamond, a necklace and a pendant here. I definitely go back to Ky Tran whenever I want to buy jewelry and also recommend them to all my friends and relatives. I usually write yelp reviews only if I don't satisfy with businesses' service, but this is the first time I have to take time to write this recommend as one thing I can show my thankful for the best service I have experienced.

Still 5 stars. Fast, efficient and affordable. Today, I took my mom's pearl ring to be fixed. The pearl fell off the setting, $30 He is very honest with his input too. I asked if he can make a bracelet for me and he said labor cost will be more than the item itself. Honesty is always appreciated!

I was shopping for a 24k gold pendant and necklace as a gift for a close relative. Ky Tran had the pendant that I liked the most so I went ahead with the purchase. I noticed that the necklace had a slight orange tint compared to the 24k pendant and asked Ky about it. He told me that is the color of pure gold. Each item was tagged as 24k gold. He seemed like a nice guy and I trusted him at the time. He charged me based on the item's weight and the current price of gold. Upon closer examination, the necklace is definitely not 24k gold. It is too thin and the chain links too refined to be able to be made of 24k gold (pure gold is too soft and can't be made into something so refined). The orange tint is from adding copper.

Waited for my dilated eyes to return to normal. My engagement ring needed repair so I went to this little gem of a place. Nothing fancy. Jimmy, the owner/jeweler, was very friendly. I had him repair, resize and reset the diamond on my engagement ring & resized my wedding band. All for $130.....his pricing is reasonable! His work impeccable!! Go to him if you need any jewelry repaired! I will definitely come back to him when his designer returns from vacation in a month to get some loose stones I have turned into a beautiful ring!

This review for Ky Tran is way overdue! I was recommended to KT by a family member and I am glad. Excellent customer service. We purchased all of our wedding rings here, the bands and engagement ring. There was a great variety to choose from and very reasonable prices. We came back another time to get one of the bands resized and have the rings cleaned. It was all done in the same day and they would not take payment for the services! Chu Ky and the staff are all very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They always made us feel comfortable unlike the other places. Absolutely recommend!

I looked in a bunch of other jewelry stores for a birthday gift for mom, but couldn't find anything. I found a beautiful set of jade earrings here within seconds! They have a range of simple and elegant jewelry to more glamorous pieces. The owner was super nice and attentive, even though they had a lot of other customers. There are a lot of credentials on the wall, and the tags on the pieces have the grade and prices. I will definitely come back if I want to buy more jewelry!

I came here yesterday looking for a pendant and I was able to find exactly what I wanted. The owner helped me look through their selection and was very patient with me. I would highly recommend to check this place out if you're looking for jewelry in the area. The people working here are friendly and knowledgeable. You'll feel very welcome shopping here.

The husband and wife duo are very kind and listened to our needs. Our jewelry was fixed within 15 minutes and it was done impeccably. I plan to return to Mr. Nguyen for some custom designs.

Mr Nguyen senior has old school craftsmanship, Very good work and fast. He expanded and polished both of my diamond rings in less then 30 minutes. I will certainly bring all my other broken jewelry in for him to repair. Bottom line; fast, trustworthy, inexpensive, and very good work.
