Newport Beach has no shortage of jewelry stores. What is harder to find is a jeweler who designs your ring, makes it and sets the stone himself. That is how master jeweler Albert Kaz has worked for more than 40 years, and it is why clients drive down the coast to Kaz Jewelry in Laguna Niguel.
Custom Engagement Rings & Ring Upgrades for Newport Beach
There is no salesperson between you and the person making your ring. Albert sits down with you, designs the ring in 3D, and carries it through casting, setting and finishing in his own studio.
Work directly with the jeweler
Albert keeps certified natural and lab-grown diamonds in the showroom and sources specific stones for individual clients. You can compare stones side by side in person before deciding.
A diamond chosen for you
A milestone anniversary is a good reason to revisit a ring. Albert can build a new setting around your original diamond, add stones, or design a new ring that keeps what matters from the first one.
Anniversary upgrades
Platinum work and ring reconditioning
Albert works in platinum as well as gold, including platinum repair and casting. Rings worn daily for years can be reconditioned: prongs rebuilt, stones tightened and the metal refinished.

A Newport Beach client's story
“When I first bought my wife's engagement ring 30 years ago my options and budget were limited. So when I was ready to upgrade her ring, I found Albert Kaz. He gave me all knowledge and options there were when it came to making a custom wedding ring my wife would love. He created a modern and beautiful ring that my wife is beyond happy with! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real deal jeweler. Thank you, Albert!!!” V., Newport Beach
