Our Four C's of Diamonds guide can help you decide on the most important factors when shopping for a diamond. The word carat derives from the word carob, a Mediterranean seed, which has an extremely consistent weight for measuring. The greater the carat weight, the rarer, and more valuable the diamond becomes.

My fiancé and I worked with Trent to find an engagement ring, and ultimately made my ring custom. The ring is everything I wanted and more. Trent was so helpful in picking out our diamond, working within our budget, and creating the perfect setting with all the features I wanted. Can’t say enough good things about this jeweler, we are so excited to go back to work with them for our wedding bands.

We had an amazing experience picking out our ring at Almassian's. From our first trip in, to the final pickup we were treated so well. There was never any pressure, they provided all the information we needed to make the perfect choice. The end result is the most beautiful and meaningful piece that we will cherish! We love that they are locally owned and care for their clients like family.

Trent and his staff are extremely reliable, focused on customer service, and they provide incredible knowledge and education on their jewelry. I purchased my fiancé’s engagement ring, wedding ring, and my wedding band at Almassian, and I have nothing but great things to say about this business! I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for quality jewelry, a friendly and hardworking staff, and reliable communication!

They were recommended to us by a friend. We took my wedding rings and a pearl ring and another diamond anniversary ring to them. I had to have them cut off for major surgery. They look as beautiful as the day we bought them. They did a fantastic job. Highly recommend them and will definitely go back!
