I have purchased several diamonds from Michael, and he undoubtedly has the best prices and quality. Do your homework and shop around, and when you are ready to purchase go to McGivern Diamonds. I recommend him to everyone I know because he is simply the best.

I HIGHLY recommend McGivern's Diamonds/OvernightDiamonds.com, and Mike McGivern
Mike was incredibly helpful and made purchasing an engagement ring and matching wedding band a breeze. I wont lie...I was a little nervous to buy online but Mike's phone and email correspondence put me at ease.
Originally, I bought an engagement ring from McGivern's and they shipped it to me but it turned out that it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. It was beautiful but there were a few features that I knew my fiance would really like to have but this ring didn't have it. I emailed Mike and he was a consummate professional and said: "I'm so sorry it wasn't exactly what you expected...I will GLADLY refund your money but before we do that, is there anyway I can get you EXACTLY what you are looking for." So we talked back and forth and ended up landing on having Mike custom build a ring from scratch to the exact specifications of what I was looking for. The result was stunning.
The first words out of my fiance's mouth when I dropped to one knee and pulled out the ring were: "Holy crap!!!" She was shocked in a very good way. She gets compliments on this custom ring on a regular basis. It is quality custom work and it was very affordable. It looks similar to a Tiffany's ring that would have costed 3 to 4 times the cost of this ring...and did I mention the actual diamonds of Mike's ring are higher quality? Tiffany's (and other name brands) are great but you are paying a ton of extra money for the prestige of the name brand...please know that. People (especially women) are always commenting on the ring and how gorgeous it is. We had a lady the other day who is a jeweler ask us where we got it and asked if it was a Neil Lane ring. Even she was obsessed with it.
When looking for a matching wedding band we had Mike make one that matches perfectly. It is beautiful as well and for a custom job, it is incredibly well priced. Together, they are quite the stunning set of rings.
I highly recommend Mike, McGivern's diamonds, and Overnightdiamonds.com. If you have any hesitations, just call Mike. He gives people his direct phone number and he's the owner. It is hard to find that sort of service these days. He is the owner, they have been in the same location for 30 years in Ohio, they will shoot you straight, be very honest, and deliver on EXACTLY what you are looking for. If they don't get it right the first time they will go the extra mile and do a GREAT job.
I did this review because I want people to have the same experience I had (and my fiance had in saying "Holy crap" when she saw the ring) and NOT because I was payed or told to leave a review.
Regards,
Steven

Great Experience
I bought a diamond from Mike just recently. He was prompt, answered all my questions and gave me an unbelievable deal. He at first told me the diamond with the setting I chose would take three weeks but knowing my time frame pulled some strings and got it to me within a week. The diamond is gorgeous and the appraisal came in well above what I paid. That shows me he is fair with his profit margin and is doing his job of hunting the wholesale market for the best distribution possible. It's fun to find great deals from good trustworthy people. That is the experience with Mike. Give him a shot!

Consistently Excellent
My first experience with McGivern was a dozen years ago when I bought my wife's engagement ring. Mike helped me decide among 3 stones that I favored. His advice maximized my value and not the sale price; I knew then and there he was about customer satisfaction and not profit maximization. I have recently purchased another expensive stone from him and once again his advice was first and foremost for my benefit.
I've recommended him to friends and family and everyone comes away with the same feeling; Mike's advice is never self serving.
How unusual it is to find a merchant who always takes time to talk and coach and whose advice can be trusted without question.

Stunning Work! No one better to work with!
Definitely the best jeweler we've ever worked with! We've purchased a number of pieces from Mike, and worked with him on 2 custom pieces. He always does amazing, beautiful, quality work, and has, by far, the best prices we've been able to find!
I wish I could include a photo! Our most recent piece was a 3 ct. Sapphire ring set in a 1/4 ctw diamond halo, and it is STUNNING! It's definitely the most elegant piece I've ever owned...simple, yet absolutely breathtaking. Even though we were working with Mike from over 2,000 miles away, he was able to create the piece exactly to the specifications we desired, and the finished product was even more beautiful that we'd envisioned!
Mike has an incredibly artistic eye, and his precision and attention to detail are invaluable, particularly in custom work. He will make sure the finished product is EXACTLY what you want, and will work and rework the plan until it is perfect.
It doesn't matter if we move half-way around the world, there's no one we'd rather work with, no one we'd trust more, and NO ONE who could do more beautiful work! THANK YOU, yet again, Mike McGivern!!! :)

McGivern Diamonds
Purchased diamond pear shaped earrings from Michael McGivern via the internet. He helped me to find the perfect matching pear shaped stones and set them into lovely 14 k gold studs. They arrived and are perfect and beautiful. Came with an appraisal and GIA report for each stone. Just as I wanted them to be. I have used a few other online diamond vendors and found that Mike's customer service is superior - he answers his calls and emails back very quickly. I will use him again for my next purchase.
