Expertise and Creativity

Our family has been doing business with Kenny and KPGems for almost 40 years. We can’t say enough about his expertise and creativity. He really knows his clients likes and dislikes and we have bought many pieces from him as well as custom designs. He treats all of his clients, no matter how big or small, with respect and honesty. Everyone we’ve referred to him has been as happy as we are.

Debbie, Vail, CO

Kenny Helped Me

Kenny helped me – as executor of my mother’s estate – with some jewelry our family decided to sell. The process was simple and straightforward. Kenny was pleasant, professional and responsive. The whole process was easier than anticipated. Highly recommend.

White Glove Service

Kenny is a pleasure to deal with and provides honest advice and white glove service. I have purchased several jewelry items from him, and the process was very smooth from the beginning of the selection and design to the after-purchase process, like getting the correct paperwork to my insurance company! Strongly recommended.

Can Create Whatever His Clients Request Of Him

Not only does Kenny have an unequivocal selection of beautiful jewelry, but he also can create whatever his clients request of him. His work is done promptly and professionally, and the greatest part is that he meets you wherever you want him to. My entire family enjoys working with Kenny -in fact, he recently took a diamond I owned and created a masterpiece engagement ring for my daughter. She and her husband were thrilled — what more could a mother ask for?

Fayanne, Miami, FL

Confident That Kenny Will Always Help Me

I’ve known Kenny Phillips for 20 years. Whenever I’ve needed jewelry, whether a Rolex or a diamond ring, I’ve always been thrilled to have his help. He’s even helped my sister sell her unworn jewelry and resized a Cartier bracelet I inherited. I’m confident he’ll always help me with my jewelry needs.

Jim, Sunny Isles, FL

Douglas, Austin TX

Personable, Professional, and Compassionate

My experience with Kenny, owner of KPGems, was excellent! Kenny has a lifetime of experience in the jewelry business. He was personable, professional, and compassionate as he determined the condition and value of my bags of old jewelry, some of which had belonged to my mother. Kenny made a very good offer that I accepted immediately. Clean out your jewelry box and see Kenny for a positive experience and a fair offer!

Exceeds Expectations

Kenny is not only kind, courteous, and extremely professional but also genuine, proactive, and thoughtful.

Kenny constantly exceeds expectations and is my 1st choice for future jewelry purchases.

Eric, Irvine, CA

So Impressed

I‘m so impressed with KP Gems. Kenny helped my family go through all of our family’s belongings from many generations.

Thank you for everything you’ve done to help this go so smoothly.

Carole, Plainview, NY

Felt Like a Collaboration

To say that I am a fan of KP Gems is an understatement! Each time I have gone to them to get a new favorite ring, it felt like a collaboration. In between the undivided attention and fast turnaround, Kenny and Mike have become friends! They designed my wedding rings, and then I went back for more (which I’ll be doing again soon), and then again! I highly endorse and sing praises to KP Gems.

Andre, Los Angeles, CA

Consummate Professional

Kenny Phillips is a consummate professional who is straightforward and knowledgeable. He was my first choice when I decided to sell my jewelry and downsize my lifestyle. When I tell my friends about selling my jewelry, they are shocked and then intrigued. No one I know knows anyone to help them do this. I have confidence in Kenny in all matters pertaining to the buying and selling of jewelry.

Naomi, Houston, TX

Helps Me Identify The Best Value

Kenny is the best! I’ve been buying from him for years. He knows my taste, has the best pieces, and helps me identify the best value. His industry connections are deep, and he’ll find the piece or have one custom made. He goes the extra mile to ensure my satisfaction. I’ve even started selling to him. He’s fair and a pleasure to work with.

Ralph, Beaver Creek, CO

Working with Kenny has been an incredible experience.

Working with Kenny at the jewelry store has been nothing short of an incredible experience. From the very first moment I walked in, he made me feel welcomed and valued, not just as a customer, but as someone he truly wanted to help. Kenny has a way of listening carefully and understanding exactly what you’re looking for, even if you’re unsure yourself. He patiently walked me through different options, explained the details of each piece, and never once pressured me into making a decision. That kind of professionalism and respect really sets him apart in an industry where it’s easy to feel rushed or pushed toward the higher-priced items.

James, Austin, TX

Above And Beyond

When it comes to quality of service, experience, and fair pricing, Kenny goes above and beyond! He was super professional and knowledgeable when it came to selling my gold and diamond bracelets. He gave me a more than fair price and the whole experience was very enjoyable. From now on, I will only go to KP Gems and I will recommend everyone I know to go to him!

Izzy, Austin TX

A true master of his profession.

Kenny is a true master of his profession. A pleasure to work with! We were happy to sell some vintage jewelry and gold at great prices compared to many others and the transaction was phenomenal.

Received Top Dollar

Kenny assisted me in purchasing a great deal of estate jewelry. He was so kind and a joy to work with. I received top dollar and encourage everyone to visit his store. I am completely satisfied!!

Susan, Austin TX

Prices Are Amazing

Kenny’s knowledge, professionalism and jewelry are absolutely the highest quality. His prices are amazing and he is truly a pleasure to work with. For many years now, my husband and I have relied on Kenny for all our jewelry needs. We feel confident in referring all our friends and family to him!

Virginia, Pensacola FL

Absolutely Amazing

Kenny was absolutely amazing! He’s been doing this for 40+ years and you can tell! His super friendly demeanor and high energy really makes you feel welcome. He was super knowledgeable on the rings I wanted to sell and gave me more information on how to keep my current rings clean and make them last longer. I went to multiple stores trying to sell my rings and KP Gems was the ONLY store to take the time to examine, clean, and verify the diamonds before giving me an offer (which was at least $100 over everywhere else) and still have me enjoy the process. If you need a reliable, fun, and affordable jeweler KP gems is 100% the way to go! I even took a few cards just to be able to recommend my friends to him!

Kennedy, Austin TX

Every piece of jewelry is a masterpiece of art, reflecting Kenny’s passion and expertise. His transparency, fairness, and genuine connection with customers set him apart.

Silvia, Miami, FL

My Jeweler for Life

Kenny has been my jeweler for 40 years and the reason boils down to one thing: trust. Kenny not only found the perfect pear-shaped diamond ring for my first trip to the altar, but also found the perfect diamond for my second wedding band. The amazing thing is that during all these years, we have never lived in the same city. I trust Kenny not only to choose the perfect diamonds based on my specifications but also to transact business safely and securely. Needless to say, Kenny is my jeweler for life.
