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!

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.

So Impressed

I‘m so impressed with KP Gems. Kenny helped my family go through all of our family’s belongings from many generations. Besides being extremely knowledgeable, he is personable, patient, funny and reasonable. It’s not easy going through family heirlooms, but Kenny made our experience a very good one. Thank you for everything you’ve done to help this go so smoothly.

Carole, Plainview, NY

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

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.

I have confidence in Kenny in all matters pertaining to the buying and selling of 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

He’s fair and a pleasure to work with.

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

Extremely Happy With Every Experience
