A. D'Mae Diamonds is a custom jewelry studio in West Los Angeles, on Barrington Ave just south of Wilshire, about 10 minutes from Century City along Santa Monica Boulevard or Olympic Boulevard. Ali Necker, a third-generation jeweler and GIA Graduate Gemologist, designs every piece herself, by appointment, with no inventory and no sales floor.
Century City is built around offices, condos and the Westfield Century City mall, which means name-brand retail and quick purchases are the default there. There's no custom jeweler in Century City itself. The studio is the closest place to sit down for 90 minutes and design something from scratch instead of choosing from a case.
How do I get to the studio from Century City?
Take Santa Monica Boulevard west past the 405 and turn left on Barrington Ave, or take Olympic Boulevard west to Barrington. It's about 10 minutes at a typical appointment hour. The studio is at 1832 S Barrington Ave Ste 201, Los Angeles, CA 90025. There's plenty of parking out front, and if you need something arranged, call us and we'll take care of it.
The studio is by appointment only, with no walk-ins: book before you come, and the time is yours. If a weekday lunch hour is the only window you have, say so when you book. Virtual consultations are also available and cover the same ground as an in-person appointment.

What the mall doesn't offer, and what the studio does, is the 90 minutes. The consultation is free, it's a conversation rather than a pitch, and you don't need to know what you want before you arrive. Ali asks about who the piece is for, what matters to you, and what your budget is, and then tells you plainly what that budget can do. Every cost is explained before you commit to anything.
Who You'll Work With
Ali Necker is a third-generation jeweler and a GIA Graduate Gemologist, and she designs every piece herself. She hand-picks diamonds in person in Los Angeles, and most pieces are made in New York by the workshop she works with. What she does best is translation: turning what a piece needs to mean into what it should look like. More about Ali and her GIA Graduate Gemologist training.
