I had the absolute best experience working with AJ's Jewelry in Ridgewood, NY to create my dream wedding ring set. From the very beginning, Gus and Jordan were incredibly open-minded and genuinely excited to bring my vision to life. This meant so much to me because I had sourced my own stones through a lapidary in the UK, and not every jeweler is willing to work with outside materials. They embraced the idea without hesitation and treated my stones with the utmost care and respect. What truly set them apart was their communication. I was kept informed every step of the way and Gus was always responsive & happy to answer my (many!) questions. I always felt confident and involved in the process which made all the difference as an out-of-state/long-distance customer. The design process itself was fun, which I didn't expect, and it felt like a true creative partnership rather than just a transaction. The final result is a wedding ring set that feels completely personal and one-of-a-kind. I'm so grateful to AJ's Jewelry for making the entire experience so enjoyable. If you're looking for a jeweler who is skilled, communicative and truly invested in bringing your vision to life, I can't recommend AJ's Jewelry enough. 10/10 read more

I went here a few days after Valentine's Day to get some links removed from a watch. The staff was very nice and I was greeted with respect. The jeweler responsible for this type of work was at lunch (it was around 3:40pm) so I was told to go to Ridgewood Ale House for a bit (good suggestion). I returned 25 minutes later and the process was completed for only $10. Overall, I would highly recommend this place and its services! read more

So I happened upon AJ's randomly, to get a quote on how much a watch battery replacement would cost me. Let's just say the cost was very reasonable (based on what type of battery is needed); but more importantly, I am writing this review because of his professionalism! When asked what it would cost to replace the crystal on my watch (very minor scratches on the edges), he didn't try to up-sell me, rather he said that though he could do the job, he wouldn't recommend it, as it wouldn't be worth the cost, nor the amount of time to have it done, and that in fact the face wasn't that bad at all! Bravo! Thank you for that! You have a regular customer in me for repairs, and any future jewelry purchases, which I know I will definitely do; as they have a superb collection of jewelry to chose from (couldn't help but marvel and all the shiny new stuff while waiting for my watch battery installation). read more

Since when does a woman get to choose where her man buys his ring? My man didn't buy the ring at zales so idk wtf makes you think he did bc not once did I mention zales to you. Regardless of where he bought it I took it to YOU and your employee whose suppose to be the expert didn't give me the proper recommendation PERIOD!! . And when I mentioned my concern rather than tell me i would be paying something you said nothing!!! You're nothing but a rude condescending prick who has zero communication skills and your response to my review shows what type of owner you really are. I pray and hope people see through you bc u deserve to go out of business. read more

I honestly love this place. When I come in here I'm treated like family. My family and I has been coming in here for years with our searches for earrings, watches, baby bracelets, and especially custom requests for out of this world jewelry. They truly go above and beyond for you. Let's take my father for example, he is by far, the most particular customer I've ever seen when it comes to anything. So it has to be a custom piece, because no one can have what he has. If the gold is not heavy enough, he'd change it. If the yellow Sapphire is not dark and manly enough for him, he'll make you change it to a golden Yellow Beryl stone. He is so meticulous, that if the staff here haven't jumped off a cliff now to kill themselves, they can please almost any client, even the most challenging, like my father*. If it comes time where I really want to spoil someone, I would come here and pick something out for them, or if I know they completely deserve something, an I just can't figure it out, I'll get them a gift certificate here. I know that if I'm not with them, they will always be taken care of. It doesn't hurt to try the place at least once. Especially since they have the current Yelp deal right now going on. Start thinking ahead for Christmas, and get your stuff now while you are already tempted reading my review. At least you'd be able to cross of minimum one person off your shopping list. See! I just gave you a free tip to save you from the chaotic holiday crowds. -You are welcome. *Love you Dad! :) read more

I went to AJ's to get links taken off an ESQ watch and links put back on a Cartier, along with replacing the battery in the Cartier. This was at around 3:00 PM. They said that the watch repair person was about to go to lunch and was backed up, but they would get it done that day and text me. Okay, I live about a mile away and took an Uber there, but yeah, okay. 2 hours later, they texted me that it was ready, but they didn't have the tools for the Cartier. If they had told me that initially, I wouldn't have dropped the watch off, but okay. I texted back "Were you able to replace the battery in the Cartier?" (thinking that the links were the issue) and they responded (verbatim) "No. Not in Cartier. Only the link sizing." I responded "Oh, okay." So, I went to pick up the watches and they hadn't put the links back on the Cartier. The watch repairman firmly noted that he doesn't do work on links if he can't replace the battery, then repeated this to show how firmly he felt about this and concluded with "Sorry, that's just me - I don't do the links if I can't replace the battery". He then explained "I don't have the tools. You'll have to go to a fancier place for the Cartier." Hmmm! Um, so very not okay. This could not be any less okay. I mentioned that I would happily pay to just have the links replaced. He would not do this (10-minute) job, as the place was closing in 40. I would have just never dropped off either watch if they had told me that. Now I must go to another place, which will charge less - a place in the Diamond District that does link work on the spot (no trip back) for $15, while this place charges $27. So, I paid more, had to make two round trips out there, and still have to make a trip to a fancier place. Who takes lunch at 3:00? Who doesn't want to do any more work when closing time is 40 minutes away? Please...take the watch repairman's advice - don't go to AJ's, instead go to a "fancier" place....they will likely be cheaper as well. read more

What a gem! I needed my engagement ring resized and did not want to go into the city where it was purchased. I saw that Ajs was close and had good reviews so I figured I'd give it a shot. From the moment I called it was a great experience. Once we visited and explained the situation, the team was so helpful and came up with the best solution for the long term. We felt like a part of the family even though our ring wasn't purchased there. We will definitely be doing all our jewelry shopping from here on out. read more

Last week I dropped off my great grandfathers ring to then for a simple stone re-set in it's original 14k gold band. They took a look at it when I came in and wouldnt stop reassuring me it was an easy fix. $10 estimate. I was really pleased. Came back today and they handed me the ring with epoxy residue all over it. I woudlnt accept the job done in this condition so they offered to have their "master craftsman from Peru" buff it out for me. They handed me back the ring and had me ready to check out when the falls out right in front of us both. They took absolutely no responsibility and who I think was the manager kept exclaiming that he has been in the business for 30 years. 30 years experience and they couldn't set a simple stone. Take your business elsewhere! I would highly recommend Grand Jewlery instead. Grand even took in one of my mixed metal rings for resizing that AJ Jewelry had completely denied servicing. read more

I called this place last week to see if they do watch battery replacements. The man was super friendly and told me to pop in. Not only did he replace the battery promptly, he also was cool with me waiting in the car (it was raining and I had my toddler with me). Then! He actually ran the watch out to me. So nice. I didn't get a full look at the displays, but the jewelry looked beautiful. read more

My girlfriend bought a ring online for me and we wanted to make sure it was real before we kept it. We searched for a jeweler with the proper technology to test the stone and band to give us an appraisal. AJ's was the first jeweler I called that was kind over the phone when I explained what we needed and told me to stop by. We were greeted by everyone working when we walked in and the owner tested the ring right in front of us. To our delight it was real after all and worth way more than she paid for it! We talked to the staff for a bit and looked at bands to match the ring. When I described what I envisioned in my head, he knew the exact ring to pull from the counter and I was almost in tears at how perfectly my dream ring had become a reality. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and didn't make us feel any different than any other customer. Other jewelers I'd been to in the past seemed uncomfortable that we were two women looking for engagement rings, or dismissive of my partner assuming we were just friends asking when "he" or "my boyfriend" would be coming in. It might not seem like a big deal to others, but it made us feel welcomed and comfortable. We purchased the band and left both rings to get re-sized. By the next day they were ready and not only did they fit perfectly, but they smoothed out the prongs for me and cleaned everything up! We will definitely be coming back for all our jewelry needs. read more

I can't say enough great things about Aj's Jewelry. We went in for a birthday gift for my mother-in-law and decided to ask if they could fix my husbands wedding band. We figured it would be a solid No, sorry, we can not..... we had experienced this at every other place we have gone to. We were told it was not fixable and no one would ever be able to fix it. We almost lost all hope so I figured what would it hurt to ask one last time..... we showed them the ring, they didn't make any promises but said they would do everything in their power to fix it.... THEY DID!!! My husband and I are astatic! We live in Pennsylvania and they fixed the ring and shipped it to us. It is absolutely beautiful! They worked a small miracle!! Thank you so much to everyone at Aj's Jewelry to make this happen! I highly recommend everyone go here for all their jewelry needs. The selection is very nice, prices and quality way better then the mall jewelry chain stores, and customer service is bar-none!!! read more

We went to Ajs for the first time yesterday to look for a baby bracelet for my little girl. We walked out with a gift for each of our little girls. Trandy was so helpful, he was genuinely helping us and explaining the difference between each bracelet that we looked at. He wasn't trying to shove anything down our throats like other places. He understood what we were looking for and went above and beyond. He even explain to my little why place the ring on the finger she did. He thought about long term use of the ring as opposed to in the now moment. I got my baby her name bracelet and I completely fell in love with the lettering used for the engraving. It was so clean and elegant, completely different from my other two baby bracelets for my other two girls. I look forward to continue doing business with them. read more

Aj's has been around forever! They have updated their store over the years so the place doesn't give off the, "I've been here for years" look. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and the jewelry is not cheap. I have a ring, necklace and earrings from Aj's, and they have lasted many years without need of repair. I have also taken my husband's watch here for repair. They were helpful and didn't charge me a lot of money for a simple fix. Bottom line: If you are on Myrtle Ave looking for jewelry, don't stop by the cheap Asian joints, stop by Aj's. read more

I used Ajs jewelry for my nieces 1st Holy Communion, I knew I wanted to buy her something special that she would have forever! They made me a beautiful Initial charm, It was perfect!!! My niece loved it so much. Ajs jewelry made this beautiful piece that she will have forever!! Thank You AJ's read more

Awesome local jewelry shop with plenty selection. Got an engagement ring there for my fiance and she loved it. Custom wedding bands for our wedding were very easy to order. I procrastinated everything big time and they worked very very hard to make sure I was happy. Very friendly and not pushy! They let you shop in peace and assist you when you need it. read more

I've been a customer of AJ's Jewelry for over 20 years. I first met Jordan when he opened the store and I was looking for a gold necklace for my wife. I did not purchase the necklace at my first visit, after shopping around several jewelry stores and even going to Canal St in NYC I returned to AJ's. Since then I have never entered another jewelry store, They will make custom jewelry for you, and make sure that you are 100% satisfied. They even do repairs while you wait. The staff is awesome and are extremely knowledgeable. Over the years I have purchased everything from earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets and watches. I won't shop anywhere else for my jewelry needs. Thanks AJ's! read more

This is my first time coming and I have to say that the people were nice and understanding with what I asked. My best friend was in desperate need of a gift for her brother so with her money I went to place she sent me. I saw so many beautiful jewelry and I was happy with the chain I picked out. Good prices, nice people and beautiful jewelry. I would come back again. read more

Never disappointed! Great service by all their employees! They have done wonders when helping me find gifts for my mom, my engagement ring, my wedding bands and everything worth showing off!! I love their affordable, yet high quality jewelry! Always worth the trip! I highly recommend them each and every time! read more

I'm so glad I read the reviews for this place! This place is great with a very friendly staff as well. I used to go somewhere else to have my watches sized and get new batteries but the previous place I went to closed for business so I had to find out about somewhere else to go. I'm glad I decided to come here and will come here in the future without a doubt. The place is nice looking and very clean. Plenty of jewelry on display here. I didn't know what to expect in this place but they made me feel right at home here. I'm very happy with the repair department with excellent work and the prices are perfect. I will shop here if I ever need some jewelry as well! This is my new jeweler for sure and will tell everyone I know about this place for their jewelry needs! read more

If i could give no stars i would. Horrible jewelry store. They try to force you to buy things they are overpriced and very rude. Dont waste your time, And they charge around 100$ for their crap work because their jewelry falls apart read more

My boyfriend decided to pop the question last month (and no I had no idea....thought he bought me a heater cause it was very cold that day), surprising me with a super cute unique white gold flower engagement that just screamed "Cindy"! The ring was awesome, from the detailed petals to the beautiful rubies in the middle. He said he had tried a bunch of other places but all their rings were too traditional or old fashioned. He wanted something a bit more special and one of a kind. AJ's truly delivered. Of course as he tried to slide it over my finger it was obvious I had either A: Ate too many Oreos the night before B: the sizing was off so we made our way down to AJs after the spur of the moment proposal to get the thing to fit. The place was pretty busy but the man ( I think the owner?) knew my fiance's face and asked us about the ring. I told them the size was off and they quickly offered to adjust it. It took about 20 minutes and boom...done! I am definitely happy he picked this place. The design on the ring was super unique and I know there is no where else he could have gotten such a cool looking piece of jewelry. Thank you Aj's! *update* I am still in love with my ring and was so happy when they fixed it and cleaned it (it was filthy...I need to take care of my stuff more!) but was a bit upset when it was time for my wedding ring. I bought it at Na Hoku and came there so they could resize the ring. The owner seemed very against the idea unless I signed something because something could go wrong because of the placement of the stones of the ring. Overall I didn't like the whole tone of the whole conversation. I felt like he just didn't want to do it in the first place. In the end I went somewhere else and they said there was no issue in resizing the ring whatsoever. They had it ready for me in 2 days! Nothing against Ajs but I just wanted to share my experience about that. read more

I have known AJ's Jewelry for over 11 years and have purchased various articles of jeweler from them. They are honest, offer a fair price and are straight forward to deal with.... without any nonsense that other Jewelry stores often play with you. If you need custom made jewelry they are fantastic! read more

My aunt finally passed ( RIP 1/2/2016 and now i can make an honest review , i have been to your store and been in the neighborhood many many years , you guys are rude and over priced , i dont care who was smoking in front of your window , with your door closed you claim they were bothering you? anyway dont worry we got the watches we were looking at and at a fairer price than you guys , from now on we are just going to shop at Gemmelli's , i dont like the way you guys talk about your customers behind their back , and i never forgot about the original ring you made for this lady and she wanted you todestroy the mold so another wouldnt be made... i remember you guys melting some questionable jewelry and from a local idiot , and casting the ring for him...... (Mexican sun God remember?) read more

Surprised anyone can write a positive review of this place. Honestly, the nastiest business people I ever encountered. I wanted to bring the Alex and Ani bracelet I bought right back, just to not support their business. And I would have, had I not needed it right away for a gift. The owner is so rude. He was so sarcastic and condescending on the phone to me. What a nasty little man. read more

This place is quite overpriced. Staff can be a bit rude as well. The owner comes off a little pretentious. Customer service was almost non existent. I had to argue for them to stand by thier own product and work, and demand satisfaction. Custom work costs over $100 an hour. And if you dont like how they finish it, your essentially stuck with it. I would avoid this place in the future, and advise you to do the same. read more

I've been coming to AJ's for a few years now and have nothing but great things to say about them and their staff. From the minute you walk in, you're welcomed and valued as if you've been a client of theirs for years. Trandy especially makes sure that everyone is happy and satisfied with what they walk away with. For someone who's been in the business for years working with a store that has been serving the Ridgewood and greater Queens area for years, this guy knows his jewelry! Whether you know exactly what you want to buy or don't have an idea of what you want, he'll always recommend something that is bound to catch your eye. I can never thank Trandy enough for all that he's done for me. I guarantee you will always walk away with quality jewelry that is unique. They will always offer other services such as engraving, ring sizing, cleaning, etc. that is done on site, so you have an ease of mind knowing your jewelry is in good hands from the moment you see it to the moment you walk out the store wearing it. I recommend to everyone who is looking to buy jewelry for any occasion to come to AJ's Jewelry. I guarantee you will never look back. read more

Too bad I can't give no stars. This place was horrible. I ordered a ring when I got it it was less then have the size they showed me. I was so over charged. All AJs Jewelry cares about is money. They did not care that I was not at all satisfie. Not only was I overcharged, but yhe ring was made veey poorly and had jagged sides that actually cut my finger. Now the ring I Almost spent $1000 on is sitting in a deaw because it fell apart. I would strongly advise going anywhere else but here. Very upsetting, but I learned my lesson, hopefully its not too late for you. (I made a yelp just to review this place) DO NOT GET CUSTOM JEWELRY HERE, BIGGEST RIP OFF! read more

They are expensive with their jewelry. I was looking for a bangle bracelet for my wife and it was extremely over priced. If you go to the city, that same bracelet is half the price AJs asks for. I highly recommend going to the city (Manhattan) for jewelry. 5 years ago gold wasn't too expensive at AJs but today it's over priced. There sales are sakes anymore. And there excuse is the price for gold went up. Which it's true but not too high. I found numerous other jewelry places in the neighborhood that aren't too pricey. But I started shopping in the city . Downtown and midtown areas. However the workers are very nice and welcoming. So I give them thumbs up for this. read more

I have been a happy customer for many years. These guys are the real deal. I have had nothing but positive experiences with everyone that works here. Honest and experienced. Highly recommend. read more

Went in there today at 4:00. A woman with very curly hair came over. I asked for a childs bracelet. She had such a dirty look on her face. She said let me check then never returned. A man ended up helping me but the bracelet was on the high end compared to other places. Also by this time I lost interest. I had also been here earlier in the month to have an old watch serviced. They said they didn't have time. Look around there are many other jewelers in the immediate area. This one isn't that great. Need attitude adjustments in this store. read more

Stopped in yesterday to pierce my daughters ears, 12 and 2. My 12 yr old wanted 2 and 1 cartilage. At first they said the price was 20 then when I went to pay they said 30 and if I decided to pierce my 2 yr old it would be 30 for 1???? I didn't feel like arguing so I paid the 30 for my 12 yr old and said I would be back. So not gonna happen!!! Rip offs ! If they never did that, I would have gone back to buy these bracelets I noticed, and some new earrings and ring my husband promised. Hope they enjoy the 10!! read more

My husband and I found my wedding band here. We had been to 7 stores looking for this specific band and AJs happened to have it. Trandy helped size the ring, informed us that the ring comes with a free engraving, and informed us of the insurance we could purchase. A few weeks later, once I was actually wearing the wedding band, I noticed that one of the diamonds looked strange. I brought it in and they fixed it (no charge). Excellent place, no nonsense, good vibes. I strongly recommend. read more

I've not been to the storefront, but ordered a necklace on 11/21online as a gift and have not received it yet. Three days ago I sent an email inquiring about my purchase and have not heard back.

Incredible selection and impeccable customer service! I went in for a christening cross for my goddaughter and there were many to choose from. I had my two young children with me and they were all so nice and accommodating, always making us feel comfortable. They went the extra step and gift wrapped the package for me and put it in a pretty gift bag and all. Would go back to them in a heartbeat! read more

I've been coming to AJ's since I was a kid (my grandma took me here to pierce my ears) and they are the absolute best jewelers in Queens. They've been in business for decades so their knowledge is vast.They have an excellent selection and can custom make almost anything you want. They are the only spot I trust for authentic jewels and gold, and also with all of my repairs. The staff is excellent w repairs. The store is bright and the staff is patient. I can sometimes spend an hour in here browsing and asking prices and the staff is always helpful and courteous, even when I have my kids in tow. They are actually very sweet w my kids and they pierced both of my daughters' ears. So, if you want quality pieces at reasonable prices, this is the place to go. And like their facebook page or join their mailing list for coupons. That 50% off coupon that comes during holiday season is always put to good use in my home. read more

He was very rude. I went into AJ's, interested in selling some pieces of jewelry. When I showed him my gold pieces, he told me "These aren't worth anything! No, no, is this even gold?!" And after inspecting it with his magnifier, he located the imprint, which says how many karats of gold it is. He then replied, "Ah, there it is.. Sorry, not interested. I'm not interested in any of these pieces", and then pushed my jewelry across the counter back to me.. Really snobbish and uptight. He displayed very bad customer service. read more
