My Fiancé and I visited David S Diamonds following recommendation from a friend. We flew from Ireland to pick the perfect engagement ring and we were not disappointed! We met Ravin at our appointment who took his time to educate us on diamonds and show us the various instruments - things no other jeweller had shown us! Having picked the ring, Ravin arranged for it to be shipped Top Priority to Florida on a very tight timeline as this is where we were finishing our holiday. We are delighted with the ring and could not recommend David S Diamonds enough - particularly the cut of their diamonds which is amazing. Thanks again Ravin and the team for all your help - we'll be back! read more

Ravin guided us through the entire process of choosing the perfect diamond and designing the engagement ring. He was incredibly thorough and patient, taking the time to explain every detail about the diamond. We're beyond thrilled with the final result and already know we'll be returning for our wedding bands. So grateful to have found Ravin and his team. We look forward to being lifelong customers. Thank you so much, Ravin. read more

David S Diamonds - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

Shopping for diamonds can get tricky, there's so much you need to know before hand and not many places will educate you. My partner and I came to David's on a random day, we didn't make an appointment but they were so nice, they made the time to speak with us even though they had a busy schedule. I believe it was David's wife who assisted us, she gave us a full run down on shapes, sizes, color and clarity. She took the time to actually teach us about the cuts and what it all meant. My partner went back without me and even at the second visit, they sat down with him and gave him an explanation on all cutes, shapes , clarity etc. They care about the product they're selling and they want customers to know what they're buying. Which is so important. Will definitely go back for the wedding bands! read more

This review is long overdue but better late than never. If you're in the market for a diamond ring, look no further than David S Diamonds. David and his team are the absolute best in the business. I came here based off a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed. Mind you, the friend who recommended this place to me is one of those guys who does over-the-top research before he buys anything, so I already felt pretty good about coming here. (I later found out that 3 of my other friends, unrelated to the friend who recommended this place, also bought their engagement rings here as well. And they too are extremely thorough when it comes to their purchases). When I first arrived, David sat me down for an hour and just went over the entire process of how he gets his diamonds and why he's able to charge such great prices compared to other sellers. Then he gave a detailed seminar and how to look at diamonds and the different things to look out for. He wouldn't even show or sell me any diamonds in that first meeting because he wanted me to look around and compare. Using the knowledge I picked up from the seminar, I went to over 20 other diamond sellers and needless to say, I was shocked at how other diamond sellers sold with little to no integrity. Many of them were just basically looking to rip people off. I ended up going back to David and gave him a rough budget of what I was looking to spend. After going through what was important to me in a diamond, he ended up recommending a few diamonds that were WELL below my budget. Who does that this day and age? If I were David, I would just offer diamonds with the budget given. He actually went above and beyond by showing me that qualities of a diamond that I could lower my standards on without compromising the final product. Essentially, of the 4 C's, he narrowed down for me what the important C's were vs. the not so important C's. I would tell you but you're better off coming here and getting the full seminar yourself. You'll feel like a diamond expert afterwards and will never get ripped off again. The final product I ended up getting was amazing and my now wife was so incredibly floored by how gorgeous the diamond and setting were. Trust me when I say that my budget was very very modest (in NYC standards) and my wife received so many compliments on her ring at her work place (and her work place is not kind or generous with compliments as she works in the fashion industry). Anyways, just trust me and come here if you're looking for diamond. You won't regret it and there's nothing to lose since David and his team are not pushy and won't pressure you into buying from them. If anything, you're getting a free seminar in how to be a better diamond consumer. They let their product and pricing sell themselves. read more

Came for an engagement ring for my girlfriend and was absolutely floored with the level of expertise and guidance. Ravin was incredible and the entire experience from beginning to end was on an entirely different level. They have you fill out a brief questionnaire so they can get a feeling for your budget and preferences to have some options readily prepared for your arrival. Ravin explained the details on what to look for, what makes cuts better or worse, and value. He really explains it all and educates you. I came in with very minimal knowledge of diamonds and rings. Very comfortable experience. Feeling great right now even just reflecting on it. If you see this Ravin, you're the man. read more

Nothing short of a great experience. I worked with Ravin who was wonderful and helped make the perfect ring come to life

My husband Tim and I have had a wonderful experience with David S Diamonds. David was so attentive while picking out the perfect engagement ring. We purchased our wedding bands from them as well and they are beautiful and cherished. We continue to have our rings cleaned and serviced here and they are always kind, professional, and courteous. We trust the quality of their craft. I receive compliments on my engagement ring diamond frequently--no surprise there--it glows! Thank you David S and team! -Abby & Tim Grabis read more

We have had amazing customer service here, the entire team is so responsive. We got my engagement ring and wedding band here, but bought the band closer to our wedding date. I wasn't able to go with my fiancé to pick up the band due to my work schedule, so I didn't get to try it on in store. When I finally tried it at home, it was too snug. We were a week out from our wedding day and about to fly out as the wedding is in a different state. Steve was a total rockstar and helped me get it re-sized in a pinch, all the while being so pleasant and nice about it. We are now off to catch our flight and will be ready when it's time for our ceremony and ring exchange! Appreciate their dedication to their customers, they offer exceptional products and service! read more

Ravin is absolutely the best! He is so patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. From the very first appointment he made us feel very comfortable working with him. He took the time to educate us and present us with all options. He curated all diamond shapes and weights to help me decide. For us, grading and certification was important therefore he took extra time to explain the fine details. I loved the mini tests that he gave us to drive the point home on how to maximize your budget. I ended up He gave us a very fair price and the ring is absolutely beautiful. I have received so many compliments. We are definitely coming back for bands and other jewelry. read more

My wife and I had the pleasure in working with Ravin Ghia on a new wedding ring after 35 years of marriage (we bought the first from David S Diamonds as well) so came full circle and another fantastic experience. Ravin provides the expertise and patience in ensuring we had numerous options and sizes to select from!!! Trust is synonymous with David S Diamonds for us! read more

Words can't possibly describe the gratitude I have, nor the luck I feel, for having met David S and his team. Though 5 stars is max David and his team deserve 7. They are truly exception people in today's otherwise opaque and deceitful world of diamond dealers. As I prepared to make a lifelong commitment to my gf I first had to make one of the largest purchases of my life. Knowing not even the 4 C's I started doing my homework. I booked about 8 appointments with the diamond hawkers of NYC confident that I was just going to use NYC to get my chops before jetting off to LA or Chicago or Seattle to buy the rock I really wanted at a better price. My first 6 appointments were basically the same. Pushy used car salesman. They would hand me 5 diamonds, put them side by side, and try to create some fake value scale before convincing me to buy the second most expensive one at a "bargain" price. Why should I buy one over the other? It was always some sticking point, its near colorless, its near perfect clarity, blah blah blah. I was about done with the BS, about ready to cancel the rest of my appointments in NYC, then I walked into David S. Everything changed. First off, his showroom is beautiful. Spacious and professional, not one of those corner offices in a building full of diamond dealers with enough space for two people, a desk, and a safe. David S is the majority of an entire floor with waiting room, comfy chairs, display cases, etc. His staff are kind, very attentive to email, and accommodating. The main differentiator when I walked into David S was the fact that he didn't sell me a damn thing, didn't even try. I was a lost sheep and he did exactly what I needed him to do, offer guidance. Whereas my past experiences were 45 minutes of pure sell sell sell, David sat with me for well over 2 hours and schooled me in the A-Z of diamonds. He enlightened me about the tricks jewelers played on vulnerable folks in the diamond district. He told me about the methods that jewelers use to evaluate diamond quality when they buy from wholesalers. He showed me advanced eval tools I had never seen in any previous appointment. He was completely transparent on his business model and how he makes money. He sent me home with a 10 page packet of reading materials and told me to come back in two weeks. All the while he never tried to sell me a single thing. I was speechless, thinking maybe I didn't need to leave NYC to get an honest deal on an engagement ring. David was honest, transparent, and even told me to keep shopping around if I wanted to. His integrity was further cemented when a customer leaving his store stopped us in the middle of our meeting, turned to me, pointed at David, and said "this is the most patient man in all of New York City". I could tell he had gone through the same process as me. Fast forward two weeks and I was back at David's. I had read the packet, feeling for the first time I knew enough to really judge a diamond. David knew my budget and brought me out three or four stones. He didn't drown me in options. Some smaller stones at higher clarity and better color, some larger at lower clarity and worse color. They were all of exceptional cut, which I now understood was all that counted besides carat. David let me scrutinize the diamonds to a T. He showed me them in every light condition using every tool he had. He showed me the full array of reports, GIA, gemex, and 3 others. He showed me the stones in different settings and metals. He never pressured me to buy one. It would take two more appointments, including one with my future sister in law, before I pulled the trigger. David even offered to put all of the stones on hold, out of circulation while I was making my decision. Once I finally picked the stone he helped me run through countless settings until I found just the right one. And the price? Well, i'll let you figure that one out for yourself when you visit his store, but trust me you won't be disappointed. Finally with the purchase made David's team worked diligently to forge the ring, set the diamond, and prepare it for the big day. They allowed me to come and see the finished product and even offered to house it for me until they shipped it to the destination right before the big day. They suggested insurance companies and gave me a diamond care and maintenance guide. They offered to service the ring twice a year free of charge for life. Lastly they gave me a money back guarantee just in case something happened, which is a must when buying a stone. Overall, what was sure to be a miserable, pressure filled, salesy, and expensive experience that I wanted quickly to forget turned into a relaxed, enjoyable, and affordable affair that I look back on with fond memories and great satisfaction, feeling like we both benefitted equally from this transaction. I will surely be a lifelong customer of David S and a strong advocate for him any time a friend of mine is ready to pop the question. read more

My husband and I researched diamonds extensively before making an appointment with David S. I could not be happier with the knowledge and expertise we encountered. David S helped us design a ring and throughout the creation we were sent photos of the process. We traveled from out of town, and David S continued to provide superior communication and service prior to shipping the final product. Thirteen years later and I am as in love with my ring as I was the day I got engaged. Wonderful experience. I cannot imagine shopping anywhere else for any type of fine jewelry, whether your budget is in the thousands or hundreds of thousands. read more

Long overdue review but better late than never! I remember when I first started researching on diamonds on youtube and keywording "best diamond", I found videos from jannpaul and goodoldgold. They provided robust information as to how to select diamonds with best optics rather than the standard 4 C's. One of the cuts that stood out the most to me was the Solasfera round. A year later a friend referred me to David S diamonds and to my amazement it turns out they were actually the patent holders of the Solasfera Cut! What are the odds. My first appointment was with Ravin and he was knowledgeable, friendly and very transparent with all the questions I had. There were no upsells and we worked at my own pace. I felt comfortable the entire experience and to this day I still have no regrets with my purchase. I highly recommended this to all my friends! read more

I had a fantastic experience with Ravin. He was very thorough and patient explaining everything about what makes a diamond perfect. Buying an engagement ring is not an easy task but he made it simple and stress free. The quality of the ring was also fantastic and I am very happy to have worked with him and David S. I highly recommend them for any jewellery needs! read more

David and his team were amazing! My wife and I had an exceptional experience purchasing a diamond tennis necklace for her birthday. David and his wife were very attentive, showed us options, and educated us in the process. David and his team gained a life long client! We will be back for all our diamond purchases. read more

This is not a review about David's inventory or his knowledge of diamonds, rather the way he seems to conduct his business. After doing extensive research, I was very excited to find David and decided to schedule a consult with him. It was very clear right off the bat that he was very knowledgeable. I was debating between a round and an oval diamond and he walked me through the pros and cons, really helping educate me. After a few weeks, I've finally made the decision to move forward with an oval so I emailed back on a thread that I was on with David and another staff member. I wrote that I wanted to move forward with an oval and I was shocked at the response I got back. He accidentally copied me on an email that was supposed to be for his colleague. "She only wants GH SI1 right? From last emails. We have U SRK 2ct Oval with DiBox, time to cash out" "Time to cash out" .... Listen, I understand that this is a business and they need to make money but wow... I'm sure everyone shopping for their engagement ring doesn't want to feel like someone is just trying to push whatever inventory so they can finally "cash out" Obviously I was never supposed to see his response, but if this is the way he conducts his business in the background, it puts a lot in question. I hope after reading this, he conducts his business with more respect for his customers, in front and behind the scenes. ------------- Response : First off, not sure where you are getting the 13-15k budget. This is completely not accurate as my starting budget was 15k. David informed me that price can range depending on quality, what is on the market etc. and that yes, the cutters he works with only cuts within VS quality and provided me more information around his POV and what he is seeing in the market when it comes to ovals. I told him that SI was my starting point because that's what I was told from speaking to various gemologist. Regardless, Instead of apologizing for accidentally copying me in an internal email that was inappropriate , it feels like they are trying to justify their actions. read more

David S Diamonds - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

David S and his team provided truly incredible service throughout the course of my engagement ring shopping, while also backing up the service with diamonds that were unquestionably the best of what I saw anywhere. As a first-time diamond buyer, my experience with other jewelers was incredibly frustrating. I spent countless hours educating myself on the "4 Cs" and thinking through how to evaluate a diamond. Every time, however, I found a stone that I thought was a great deal, I eventually had the realization that it was just an appropriately priced, lesser quality option. Additionally, I was dealing with websites (James Allen, Blue Nile, Rare Carat, etc.), local jewelers in Boston, jewelers in New York, and a family jeweler in Tampa who all were providing information and service that failed to meet expectations. Overall, I was left feeling that everyone was providing service that was impersonal, fake, pushy, and devoid of information. When I was getting a hard sell to buy a given diamond and would ask "what makes this better than X or Y diamond sold by you or another jeweler?" the most detailed answer I would get is "well... this one is just really... good." This was understandably disconcerting. My experience with David S was a refreshing departure. Our initial conversation was over 1.5 hours of walking me through the information that I had been desperately looking for - understanding how a jeweler would assess a stone. This allowed me to reframe my thought process to realize that the 4 Cs are simply metrics to assess rarity and that I needed to be assessing the optical performance metrics of a diamond to know how it was actually going to look. No other jeweler had gone through this process with me; and when I had proactively brought up the Holloway Cut Advisor or ideal proportions to them, they were often underinformed about how to relate cut to optical performance. Beyond the content of my initial David S discussion, it was highly distinctive that not only was he not trying to upsell me - he wasn't even trying to sell me at all. The whole conversation was strictly for him to educate me and to gather the requisite information to find me the perfect diamond. Moving forward, our next touch point was the presentation of three diamonds that not only included what David S thought was the best option, but also one at a slightly higher price point and one slightly lower. With me not being able to personally come in to assess the three diamonds in person, I greatly appreciated his willingness to work so closely with my sister in person in New York for the "diamond tasting" and much of the follow up. Between that and the incredible amount of objective data I was sent for each diamond (GIA certificates, gemex reports, light path / optical scope assessments, pictures, and videos), I felt like I was able to feel fully informed and involved in the process - even without being able to travel to New York. The fact that David S pushed me towards the better-value, mid-priced diamond went a long way to build trust. David S talked with me over and over again through so many iterations to decide not only on the perfect diamond, but also one of his signature minimalistic settings to maximally feature the diamond. As helpful and available as David S was throughout the process, Angel was just as great in working through logistics and details. Any time I talked with either of them, I never felt rushed or like I was bothering them. It made me feel like I was the only customer on their mind. The level of service was truly exceptional. And, hearing them ask for us to drop in every time we are in New York to visit and get a complimentary ring cleaning and checkup, I recognize that they are highly invested in creating a relationship that lasts far longer than the engagement ring shopping period. In diamond shopping, everyone has "a guy" who can get you "the hook up." In reality, though, there really isn't any arbitrage to be had in diamond buying. It's not about getting a great deal on a subpar diamond - it's about figuring out the degree of rarity you can afford and then maximizing the optical performance (i.e., value) at that level. In the end, I got a diamond at the rarity level (in terms of the 4 Cs) that was comparable in price to standard online retailer offerings, though of a quality (in terms of cut and optical performance) that would go for significantly more for Blue Nile Astor, James Allen True Heart, or Tiffany. This is something that I feel I never could have gotten outside of working directly with a master cutter like David S. To have gotten this level of value combined with such incredible service, I could not be happier to have joined the David S bling club. There are so many people in my life getting engaged right now and, whenever I'm asked for advice, I will say that they would be crazy to buy their diamond from anyone but David S! read more

I wish I could give them 6 stars but damn you Yelp! :) We had a great experience with Ravin @ David S Diamonds. My girlfriend and I were shopping for an engagement ring and we were recommended David S through a colleague. It is perhaps the best recommendation I have ever received. Ravin took his time explaining not only the process but also the variables that go into purchasing an ideal diamond. His approach was authentic and humble which led to him building trust with us. This is an aspect most overlooked by most jewelers but not by Ravin. From the first time we met him, we knew we were going to business with him. I bought an engagement ring from him and he is going to be my go-to guy for all things bling! Thank you very much for your help Ravin! Best, Dhiman read more

My partner and I had a wonderful experience working with Ravin Ghia to pick out an engagement ring! We found David S Diamonds through online reviews. We both attended an initial meeting, and I had two follow-ups on my own with Ravin in the following weeks to purchase a ring. On all occasions he was extremely helpful, and never pressured me or pushed me towards any particular decision (e.g. an unnecessarily expensive purchase). The entire process of selecting, buying, and picking up the ring was seamless. It's clear that this store goes out of their way to thoroughly educate customers about buying a diamond, from judging the stone itself to diamond certification and insurance. We did not have such a comprehensive experience at any other jeweler - while many stores advertise their impartiality and willingness to educate, in our experience this mainly consisted of having a "4 Cs" chart waved at us without context. Ravin instead talked us through the important qualities patiently, showed us a number of stones to compare, and had insights on particular cuts as well. The entire experience was both exciting and more relaxing than we expected after seeing the bustle of the diamond district in NYC and visiting a few other shops. Even among well-reviewed and reputable establishments, David S Diamonds stands out. We will almost certainly recommend David S Diamonds to friends looking for an engagement ring (or a diamond for any other purpose)! read more

Everyone in New York has a ring guy, but David is so much more than that. He's an expert whose skills, services, knowledge and philosophy of educating his clients beyond the 4Cs are unmatched by anyone else out there. You're going to want to do your due diligence and shop around, and I highly recommend that you at least pay a visit to David before you make one of the biggest purchases of your life. I had such a great experience working with David and his team, my fiance absolutely loves her ring, and we're already in the process of picking out our wedding bands with David and his team. Below are some reasons why David is far and above all the others that you'll come across. - David educates his customers on how to buy / evaluate a diamond and tests them on their ability to tell differences between them. Ring Guys rely on the fact that the industry is a black box where the sellers have all the information and buyers are typically people who are looking to make a once-in-a-lifetime purchase. - David is patient, not pushy, and recommended that I see at least 10 other ring guys and take my time before pulling the trigger. Some of the Ring Guys I talked with got frustrated because I was "taking too long" (apparently four weeks is too long when contemplating a purchase of multiple thousands of dollars). - David is an experienced diamond cutter with over 70 patents with a deep understanding of light physics, light generation, light leakage, etc. - all the things that make your diamond bling. Ring Guys don't have the same depth of knowledge and/or they lack the motivation to share their knowledge with you. - David's diamonds are of the highest quality, he will show you why, and he will teach you how to evaluate diamonds so you can see for yourself. Ring Guys only tell you why, and they usually just say that all their diamonds are "beautiful" or "gorgeous" - David and his team does everything on site. They cut their own diamonds. If your ring needs side stones, they will cut them in house rather than try to find matching stones. They do their own settings. They take full ownership of the process. No outsourcing. Ring Guys outsource everything...the cutting, computer aided design ("CAD") process, the setting, the adjustments.... David and his team can make adjustments on the spot. I proposed to my fiance the day after Thanksgiving, and the next day we went to David to get the band size adjusted. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Ring Guys have to send the ring out to a third party, which takes a couple of days. read more

David S Diamonds - Classic round engagement ring with pear-shaped side stones - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

Go see Ravin Ghia at David S diamond. I was referred to come here by someone who bought a diamond here 20+ years ago. The shop has an excellent reputation. Amazing service. Ravin took the time to explain to me what the different options were and what to look for when purchasing a diamond, a very educational experience indeed. Most other places I went to didn't have the same level of quality and attention to detail. Plus, the ring that I bought was basically perfect. They do a great job here. I will be sending everyone I know to this establishment. read more

I was fortunate to be able to work with Ravin at David S. Diamonds. Ravin is extremely knowledgeable and was very thorough in educating me about all the different aspects of diamonds. Despite doing my own research, I learned a lot from Ravin which helped ease my mind in making such an important purchase. From start to finish, working with Ravin was a great experience. If you are lucky enough to have an opportunity to work with Ravin, I strongly recommend it. read more

I had a great experience with Ravin. He was very patient and supportive throughout the whole process - always available via call, text or email. During our first appointment he took the time to explain the 4 C's and the whole process. I never felt pressured or if I was being sold something that wasn't in my best interest. I knew I was in the right hands. I will definitely return when it's time to purchase wedding bands. read more

From start to finish, our experience at David S Diamond was easy, informative, and thorough. We came here through family connections while looking for an engagement ring. Upon entering the showroom, David navigated us through his philosophy of a good diamond ring and informed us on common traps vendors advertise. His focus on diamond quality and brilliance over size and general De Beers guidelines completely won us over. With each diamond he showed us, he clued us in on sound indications of good symmetry, brilliance, and light reflectance capacity. He was patient and kind, and answered our questions in an in-depth and succinct manner. His selections aligned perfectly with our vision of the engagement ring. Needless to say, I am obsessed with the final product. The stone has a perpetually mesmerizing shimmer, and the setting is well-made and fits nicely on my finger. Amidst all the other vendors we met with, none came close to the care, expertise, and quality service we experienced at David S Diamonds. I am looking forward to purchasing my wedding bands and future jewelry from here. read more

My husband bought my engagement ring from this jeweler.It was a very expensive purchase. . 20 years later we took it back to David S have the setting resized and be cleaned. Soon after picking it up I noticed that a significant chip was in the diamond, actually a chunk was missing. My husband had bought other jewelry from David S over the years and had referred many people to him. However, despite our long-standing relationship and loyalty, when we went back to David to tell him about the ring, he wanted no part of hearing it. He literally dismissed us and said it happens but refused to consider that he or his people were responsible. It made us question not only the quality of this very expensive diamond, but the integrity of the jeweler. read more

I absolutely love the ring my fiancé bought from David S.! My fiancé visited other jewelers in the diamond district but was most impressed with the services and quality of diamonds at DSD. While other jewelers were trying to rush my fiancé to buy a diamond from them, Ravin at DSD spent hours over a few visits making sure my fiancé got the perfect ring for me. I would highly recommend DSD! Ask for Ravin! read more

My fiancé and I went to David for an initial consultation together and for me to try on settings and decide on a shape. He was SO informative about the physics of how a diamond is sparkly! My fiancé did all other meetings without me. I love my ring and he was an absolute pleasure to work with! We can't wait to go back for our wedding bands. read more

David S Diamonds - David S Engagement Ring! - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

I was working with Ravin on purchasing my engagement ring. He was a delight to work with and was very open/transparent throughout the whole process. He took the time to go in depth and explain how to find the prettiest diamond with the naked eye. There were COVID preventative measures in place. It was a wonderful experience working with Ravin and I intend to come back to purchase my wedding band here. Most importantly, she loved the ring! read more

David S Diamonds turned out to be an excellent choice for our engagement ring. We had gone to them on the recommendation of a friend and had the pleasure of being helped by Ravin. I had done quite a bit of shopping around and research online, but nothing could have prepared me for the knowledge and reassurance in my purchase that he provided us. Fantastic experience and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. read more

I ended up at David S. by referral (for me and my friends, there's a whole brilliant lineage of referrals at least 4 people deep now). From the beginning, Amy, and later Ravin, took great care of me, educating and responding thoughtfully and with care, creating a low-pressure, comfortable environment. They understand that jewelry, and especially engagement diamonds, are big decisions, and walk you through various options for settings and diamonds. They'll work within any budget to make sure you get a ring (or other piece of jewelry) that you'll be happy with and come back again. You will also learn a lot about diamonds and the 4 c's, perhaps more than you ever wanted to know. Highly recommended even if you're looking for a place to walk into. You'll be in good hands. read more

My fiancé bought my engagement ring from David S. Diamonds as a suggestion / referral from a friend and it is BEAUTIFUL! He worked with Ravin and had a great experience with him. He learned a lot and felt that he got a great price on my ring. I went back to get the ring sized and Ravin took the time to inspect my ring to check all the stones and prongs, clean it and suggested to come by every 3-4 months to get it cleaned and checked. I get compliments all the time! I LOVE it and can't wait to go back to purchase our wedding rings! read more

My husband and I worked with Steve at David S Diamonds on my engagement ring. My husband was doing his best on his own, but with my direction of wanting "something different", he was understandably feeling a bit lost and pulled me into the process :) Steve was incredibly knowledgable and most importantly patient as we figured out what we wanted. I found a style of ring I loved at a boutique downtown, but didn't know what color stone I wanted. Steve found every stone under the sun for me and my husband to see -- gray diamonds, yellow diamonds, and so many other color gemstones. When we decided on yellow, Steve found a variety of high quality, unique yellow stones. We eventually found one and then he got to work on creating the setting to look exactly how I wanted (two-tone yellow and white gold, vintage feel). The outcome is fantastic and he was so helpful throughout. We'd both recommend him and would go back again! read more

Wow. My friend recommended David S Diamonds to me after I'd nearly gone bald searching for an engagement ring online. I'm so glad he did. The people who helped me find the diamond and settings were extremely knowledgeable, and cut through all the bs of purchasing a diamond. They helped me understand what to prioritize, how a gorgeous diamond might fall flat in the wrong setting, and answered every question I had with zero hesitation. Best of all, I got to see the diamonds in person, which helped me understand that diamonds with similar specs might not have the same "wow" factor. They also tried very hard to find something within my budget. There's no upselling here - just very friendly, educated people doing their best to provide an extremely high level of personal attention. One of the best shopping experiences I have ever had. read more

A few weeks back, my father told me about a diamond called the Solasfera. He also mentioned that David was the designer of it and I had to go see him. What an amazing experience! David and staff were extremely welcoming, very helpful and informative in my search. After viewing several excellent cut stones and different styles, we were able to design a custom band with a beautiful 1ct stone. A few weeks later, i proposed! She was stunned, surprised and extremely happy with her beautiful ring. Thank you to David and the entire staff there. My fiancée went back after our vacation to get her ring resized and had a great experience as well. Please go visit David if you are in the market for something for yourself or that special someone!!

This reviews is years overdue. My husband and I visited David in 2017 on the recommendation of two separate couples and ultimately designed and purchased a first-rate, exquisite engagement ring that I receive compliments on practically daily. Our experience at David S Diamonds far surpassed our experience with the high-end major jewelers (we had appointments with the top four). Over the course of two appointments, David provided an unparalleled level of education and guidance. He is genuinely passionate about imparting knowledge and strives to empower his customers to make an educated decision. Not once pushy, never just a "salesman". We are grateful to David and his team and we've since referred multiple friends. We could not recommend David S more strongly...go in with high expectations and you'll still be blown away. Thank you, David S Diamonds!! read more

Working with David was an absolute pleasure. David created a custom ring for my engagement. David was incredibly patient working with us through every step of the process. The ring was crafted to perfection and my fiance and I could not be happier. David's staff always maintained the highest level of professionalism. When David was unavailable to meet with us, Raj would assist us. We found him to be very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. In searching for a ring, we had visited many jewelers before coming across David S Diamonds. We chose David to create my ring because he was clearly customer-service oriented and came across as someone we could trust. Additionally, he offered the most competitive rate we could find without compromising quality. My fiance and I will certainly return to David S Diamonds for future diamond purchases. read more

David S Diamonds - Custom eternity band crafted by David S Diamonds - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

I was referred to David S Diamonds and I'm so happy I was! I was lucky enough to work with Ravin and the entire process was smooth and, most importantly, pressure free! They took their time to assure I understood how diamonds are priced, what to look for, what NOT to worry about, etc. I felt so comfortable with my decision by the end of the process it was FUN as opposed to stressful. Ravin and the team were available for questions, changes, etc. and always took the time to assure I was comfortable with all decisions. I believe that David S Diamonds wants their customers to be educated before they make a purchase and because of that I will recommend them to anyone who is looking to purchase jewelry. read more
