There are jewelers, and then there’s Dan Moran of Concierge Diamonds in Los Angeles. Best known in the world of custom diamond jewelry for his exquisite engagement rings, Moran is not only a master jeweler, but he’s also an experienced aviator with a deep love for flying. Moran has decided to combine his two passions, redefining the art of client service by personally delivering diamond engagement rings and fine jewelry via his private aircraft.
In an era where convenience and luxury are paramount, Moran’s method of delivery by private plane is making waves among higher-end clientele who are seeking more than just a fine piece of jewelry—they are looking for an experience.

A Passion for Aviation
Moran has been captivated by airplanes since childhood, but it was his passion for motorcycles that led to his foray into aviation. As a young man, Moran found himself surrounded by friends who shared his enthusiasm for adventure, often riding motorcycles together. It was through these motorcycle connections that he met several pilots, who soon invited him along for short, recreational flights. These initial flights ignited a spark in Moran, and before long, his friends were encouraging him to pursue obtaining his pilot’s license.
As he continues to progress in his flying career, he plans to expand his qualifications by obtaining his commercial license, as well as ratings for both gliders and seaplanes. These milestones will not only broaden his flying expertise but also open the door to new flying experiences.
Moran decided to blend his love for flying with his passion for bespoke jewelry. While most jewelers rely on pick-ups, couriers or shipping services to deliver their pieces, Moran’s aviation approach is both personal and exclusive, adding a touch of glamour and excitement to the process.
“Flying gives me the freedom to connect with my clients in a truly rare way. I don’t know of anyone else doing what I do,” says Moran, who has now logged more than 1,200 hours of flight time as a pilot.

For Moran and the team at Concierge Diamonds, delivering a one-of-a-kind engagement ring or a special anniversary gift isn’t just about placing it in the hands of a client—it’s about offering something others in his field can’t and making the moment unforgettable. That’s why, after meticulously designing and crafting custom pieces, he often hops into his JetPROP and flies directly to his clients, wherever they may be. Whether it’s an exclusive golf club in Lake Tahoe, a private island near San Francisco, or an impromptu airport showroom in Phoenix, Moran’s flights ensure that each delivery is as memorable as the jewelry itself.
Though delivering diamonds via private plane is typically a luxury reserved for Moran’s higher-end clientele, he is committed to providing his unique brand of hospitality to as many clients as possible.
