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.

Trust His Guidance

I’ve known Kenny Phillips since 1995 and have bought custom rings, diamond bracelets, and necklaces from him. He’s always helped me and my friends find the perfect piece for any occasion. I trust his guidance and am always thrilled with the quality and price. It’s a pleasure to do business with him.

Professionalism and Expertise

My wife purchased the most beautiful diamond solitaire ring from Kenny. The experience was easy from head to toe, and I appreciate Kenny’s professionalism and expertise. Thank you Kenny! Looking forward to my next purchase.

Andrew, Weston, FL

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

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

One of a Kind Gifts

I can always find that special one-of-a-kind gift at KP Gems. Look no further.

Shari, Miami Beach, Florida

Wouldn’t Trust Anyone Else

I have been working with Kenny for years and wouldn’t trust anyone else to buy from (or sell to)! Besides being great at what he does, he’s a true mensch.

Robin, Aventura, Florida

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!

Donna, Austin TX

Timely, true to his word, and incredibly knowledgeable

I had a wonderful experience with KP Gems. Kenny was fantastic to work with—timely, true to his word, and incredibly knowledgeable. He guided me through the process with patience and expertise, making everything smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to find someone so professional and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend KP Gems to anyone looking for quality and reliable service.

Manijia, Austin Texas

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

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.

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?

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

Discover Something Truly Special

I was so excited to visit KP Gems’ new location. Beautiful jewelry and a welcoming atmosphere. Kenny is an expert in his field, incredibly knowledgeable, and extremely honest. If you are tired of mass-produced jewelry, look no further. You will definitely discover something truly special. I saw a stunning bracelet that I haven’t seen anywhere else. KP Gems is a treasure for jewelry enthusiasts.

Jill, New York City, NY

Exquisite Taste

When considering estate pieces or diamonds, we have to trust someone. Kenny is the only one we truly trust, and he always finds just the right piece at the right price. His exquisite taste, professionalism, and positive energy take the fear out of every investment we make. We treasure our heirlooms and look forward to passing them down to our family.

Michael, Parkland, FL

Kind and Courteous Person

I have done business with KP Gems for many years, and the transactions have always been smooth. He is a very kind and courteous person to deal with, regardless of the amount.

Jeff - Aventura, FL

Highest Quality

We have always relied on Kenny Phillips for our jewelry needs, including our most important pieces – our wedding bands, which he created to suit our wishes. Kenny is a consummate professional. He has always been responsive and provided the highest quality both in product and in service. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for jewelry!

Ed, Ft Lauderdale, 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.

Eileen, Fernandino Beach, 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

Thankful

Kenny, from the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank you for your time and dedication to creating our rings and also my engagement ring! Words truly cannot express how thankful we are for your creation of the most sentimental jewelry for us that we will forever have and hold!

Jared & Jackie, Long Beach, NY

Pleased with the Process and Outcome

I was recommended to contact Kenny of KP Gems when I was looking to buy an engagement ring. Kenny provided me with many options. He is very knowledgeable and helped me find the perfect ring. I was very pleased with the process and outcome. I would recommend KP Gems to my family and friends.

Steve — Newton, MA

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

Exceeds Expectations

Kenny is not only kind, courteous, and extremely professional but also genuine, proactive, and thoughtful. He created an amazing wedding band set for my wife, including a 1920s filigree band with flawless diamond settings. Kenny constantly exceeds expectations and is my 1st choice for future jewelry purchases.

Eric, Irvine, CA

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.

Kirby, Chicago, IL

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.
