Buying an engagement ring is a big moment and usually a new experience. Most people in Aventura start at the mall, where the ring in the case was made in a factory and the price includes the brand on the door. There is another way to do it. At Gavco Jewelers, the person showing you diamonds is a jeweler, not a commissioned salesperson, and most of the rings we sell are made in our own shop on Biscayne Blvd.
We are a family owned store, in business since 1993, with a 4.9 star rating from 1,139 reviews. You will find us at 16169 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL 33160, a few minutes south of Aventura Mall with parking in front of the door. Come in with a photo, a budget, or nothing at all. We will walk you through stones and settings with no pressure and no obligation.
Three Ways to Get Your Ring
From Our Showcase
Ready to wear diamond engagement rings you can try on today. Classic solitaires, halos, and three stone settings in white, yellow, and rose gold. If the size is off, we size it at our own bench.
Built for You
Bring a photo or an idea and we design the ring around your stone and your budget. You approve a CAD model before we cast anything. See how custom jewelry in Aventura works at our shop.
An Heirloom Reborn
Propose with a family diamond in a setting made for her. We remount heirloom stones in new settings, and the value of old gold you no longer wear can count as credit toward the ring. If you would rather sell a diamond outright, our sell diamonds in Aventura page explains how offers work.
Natural and Lab Grown Diamonds
Every diamond is graded on four things: carat weight, cut, color, and clarity. Two stones with the same carat weight can differ a lot in price because of the other three. When you sit with us, we put stones side by side under the light so you can see those differences yourself instead of reading them off a tag.
We set both natural and lab grown diamonds. A lab grown stone is the same material as a natural diamond and costs much less, so the same budget buys a larger or cleaner stone. Some people want the natural stone and its story. Both are honest choices. We explain the tradeoffs and let you decide.
Wedding Bands for Him and Her
We carry and build wedding bands for men and women in 14K and 18K white, yellow, and rose gold, as well as platinum. Plain comfort fit bands, diamond bands, and engraved designs. If your engagement ring has a setting that keeps a stock band from sitting flat, we build a band shaped to sit flush against it.
Many couples come in together before the wedding and pick both bands in one visit. Bring your engagement ring and we will match the metal and finish. Engraving inside the band, a date or a few words, is done before pickup. For metals, widths, and comfort fit, see our wedding bands in Aventura guide.
An Honest Word About Budget
Forget the old rule about spending three months of salary. The right budget is the one you are comfortable with. Tell us the number you want to stay under and we design to it. Because we craft in house from raw materials, there is no middleman markup, and a custom ring from our bench can cost less than a designer name from a showcase.
Every ring we build comes with a formal retail replacement appraisal for insurance. And the relationship does not end at pickup. Sizing, tightening a prong, and cleaning happen at the same counter, handled by our jewelry repair in Aventura bench.
An Engagement Ring Store Near Aventura Mall, Without the Mall
If you have already walked the jewelry stores at Aventura Mall, you know the routine. Bright cases, brand names, and prices that include the rent. Our shop sits a few minutes south on the Biscayne Blvd corridor. Same diamonds, same gold, but the person quoting your price is the person making your ring.
For more than thirty years, couples from Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, North Miami Beach, and Hallandale Beach have bought engagement rings and wedding bands at our counter. We have made rings for proposals at the beach, at Founders Park, and in living rooms with the whole family hiding in the kitchen. When the moment comes, the ring should be ready. That part is our job.
Frequently Asked Questions About Engagement Rings
Do you sell lab grown diamond engagement rings in Aventura?
Yes. We set both natural and lab grown diamonds. A lab grown stone can give you a larger or cleaner diamond for the same budget. We show you both options side by side and explain the difference so you can decide.
How long does a custom engagement ring take?
Most custom rings take 2 to 4 weeks from design to pickup. You approve a CAD model of the ring before we make anything. If you have a proposal date coming up, tell us and we will work to it.
Do I need an appointment to look at engagement rings?
No. Walk ins are welcome Monday through Friday and Sunday, 10am to 6pm. We are closed on Saturday. The consultation is free and there is no obligation.
Does the ring come with an appraisal for insurance?
Yes. Every ring we build comes with a formal retail replacement appraisal you can give to your insurance company.
Can you resize the ring later if it does not fit?
Yes. Ring sizing is done at our own bench in the store, usually within a few days. Most engagement rings can be sized up or down without touching the stone.
