About Us
We were hoping you’d ask! Here are the top five reasons:
- We’re not a giant conglomerate. We are family-started and family-run, with generations of experience in gemstones. Bringing color into people’s lives brings us joy. Read more about our origins here.
- We manufacture all our jewelry by hand in our own studios.
- We know you have a creative soul, so we let you choose the stone, style, setting and metal of your jewelry piece.
- We love our customers, which is why we have 24/7 live customer service. And why we have thousands upon thousands of great reviews.
- We deliver value. Because you’re buying direct from manufacturer, you pay 30-40% less than on sites that don’t control their production. What’s more, if any GIA-trained and accredited appraiser says that a piece you bought from us isn’t worth 25% more than what you paid, you get the purchase price* back, plus 10 percent. How’s that for standing behind what you sell!
We make everything we sell. Even better, we make it by hand. The artisanal crafting happens in Los Angeles and Thailand. We chose these locations because each geography is known for special skills. For example, Hollywood has a long history of making special pieces for the film industry. At Angara, we match the master jewelers and setters in each geography to the nature of individual jewelry items, for the perfect result.
Our office is in the heart of the Los Angeles Jewelry District. But we don’t have any physical stores that you can visit, as all our jewelry is only sold online.
If you need help with a product you purchased from us, or simply have some unanswered questions, you can connect with us any time on email or phone. If you'd rather have your questions answered in real-time, come say hi on live chat.
A jewelry appraisal is a document that verifies the value of your jewelry piece. It includes details about the gemstone (carat, quality and grade) and other product specs. You'll need it if you want to get your piece insured. So yeah, it's pretty important.
We like our diamonds super sparkly and conflict-free. We actively support all industry efforts to end conflict diamond trafficking. All our diamonds come from reputable sources that comply with the Kimberley Process. So yes, our diamonds won't give you 'bloody' nightmares and you can flaunt them with the clearest conscience.
As a matter of fact, we do. Our Create With Angara feature allows you to select your gemstone and design your own ring around it, or simply purchase the stone separately.
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the creator of the 4Cs of diamond quality, and the final authority when it comes to diamonds and gemstones. They evaluate the stones, and grade them. A GIA certificate will tell you everything you need to know about your diamond or gemstone—its cut, color, carat weight, clarity, treatment details, and more.
You have nothing to worry about when it comes to the authenticity of our gemstones. Our GIA-certified professionals source every one of them carefully and responsibly. We also put each gemstone through an extensive quality check at the time of production.
Absolutely! Your credit card information is 100% safe with us. We use secure encryption and fraud protection for all credit card transactions. Your sensitive data is encrypted using 256-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) before it travels over the internet. And just to put your mind at ease, we also have McAfee and Verisign certifications for security. You can view our Digi Cert Secured Certificate to see the independent verification of our site’s security.
We're so glad you want to introduce Angara to your friends. While we don’t have a referral program at the moment, your support means everything to us. Keep spreading the joy of color, and continue to shine bright with our jewelry!
