I truly don't know how I found this company to work with. I was walking down the notorious diamond district and happened to stumble upon a great family owned business. They had items that were affordable and things that were totally out of my price range. The only thing better than their inventory was their service. I bought a ring with great quality. A few months later I had to get a loose diamond put back into it and they did it for me with no questions. They even remembered me by my first name. I feel apart of this family when I am shopping with them. I highly suggest you all check them out, you will not be disappointed read more

From the moment my now-fiancé and I walked into The Diamond Scene, we were met with warmth and professionalism from the Afshar family--especially Tanaz. She greeted us with such a pleasant, welcoming energy that instantly put us at ease. She patiently walked us through different styles and sizes, even taking the time to explain the differences between lab-created and mined stones. There was never a hint of pressure--just genuine care in helping us find the perfect ring. When I returned later without my partner, Tanaz was there alongside her father Moein and her brother Amir, ready to answer every single question I had. Moein made me an offer I simply couldn't refuse--it was hands down the best deal on 47th Street. I said yes to the diamond right then and there. The ring is absolutely stunning--truly a work of art--and my fiancé is head over heels in love with it. We could not be happier with our experience, and without question, we'll be returning to Moein and his family at The Diamond Scene for our wedding bands. If you're looking for an unbeatable combination of quality, price, and genuinely kind people, look no further than the Afshar family. read more

The BEST and open Saturday! . Ellie and Moen are experts in the diamond industry. They listened to my wish list for an engagement ring and filled each wish. My fiancé was pleased with the price as well. The Diamond Scene - these two and their daughter - was like being with family. I love my ring (so do all who see it) and i will always remember my positive experience at Diamond Scene. read more

I went there to buy an engagement ring, I paid good money to buy GIA certified stone, it was written in the receipt that it is a GIA certified stone. When I went to pick it up, the day before I needed the ring, they gave me GAI certified and not GIA certified stone which is garbage and worth nothing! I think it is a fraud! Do not go there! read more

This review is long overdue! I was just staring at my beautiful ring and realized I never gave thanks to Diamond Scene. Well here it goes... My boyfriend at the time and I were visiting NYC when we decided to go ring shopping. We walked into a bunch of the stores on 47th St. but nothing compared to Diamond Scene. The vibe was not at all intimidating, which it can be when looking for an engagement ring. I was in awe with the amount of beautiful designs they had to offer and the quality of the stones they had. They were extremely helpful and patient with us. My (now) fiance and I couldn't have been happier with their warm professionalism and great prices. It also meant a lot to us that they are a family owned company. The owners truly couldn't have been more pleasant. Next time we are in NYC we are definitely making a stop at Diamond Scene! read more

Diamond Scene - My BEAUTIFUL engagement ring thanks to Diamond Scene! Love Love Love! - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

15+ Years ago my husband got my enagement ring from here, so did both of my brothers A++++++ Diamonds and service !

So, we were taking a walk through midtown Manhattan on our vacation, when Mrs. B decided that she wanted to see the diamond district. I, being very wizened over years of business travel to the Big Apple, naively escorted her to the district. I thought that she would be SO impressed that I knew where it is. Big boo-boo: she was eager to spend our children's inheritance, as well as the last few pennies of our savings. And here is our story... With me in tow, she decided to visit a few stores and do some harmless trolling for diamond studded earrings. OK, that's not so bad: she's just like a sport angler, she will simply fish and release the caught prey back in the water after she lands them. No harm, right? Well, she did exactly that for the first three or four shops. She looked around, asked the salespeople to show her a few samples, and then left. A-OK! I, the inveterate cheapskate, kept my distance, hoping and praying that this was all she intended to do. I even promised her a gourmet meal at Burger King or McDonalds if we could leave the area before they separate her from her money. Then, we enter Diamond Scene as part of our "sport," when she falls in love with some nice looking stud diamond earrings in the store. The salespeople were very helpful in showing and explaining the stones to her and, within the space of ten minutes, she decides she wants to buy them. Now, I am a very careful shopper, but I admit that I was not prepared for this eventuality. So, I decide to help her haggle with the staff b/c I do know that the "list" price of most diamonds is about twice of the real price. So, I prattle some technobabble about the three C's, the GIA, etc. to demonstrate my knowledge of gems. Their staff was very kind and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. Before I was able to further establish my precious gems credibility talking about the CIA, AIG, and IGA, we were able to knock off quite a bit from the asking price, and we were able to ask them to ship the gems to our out-of-state home to avoid the NY sales tax. In fact, I have nothing but admiration for the people at Diamond Scene. The quality and price of their goods seem to be top-notch. So now, Mrs. B jaunts around our cozy Midwestern town sporting her new diamond earrings (which nobody can differentiate from cubic zirconium ones), and feels very proud that she is now the proud owner of something that is bright and shiny. My kids have decided that after she dies, they will cut off the earrings from her earlobes and cash the proceeds in for necessities, like their own jewels. read more

My fiance got my engagement ring from here and he told me how helpful the owner and his wife were in not only getting him a great price but also educating him on diamonds. Their customer service is top notch and you can be sure that you are getting your money's worth. There are many stores around this area and my fiance went to all of them but nothing compared to how happy he was with the service, the product and the price of Diamond Scene. We went back there to get my wedding rings this past weekend and I saw for myself what my fiance was raving about. They also custom make jewelry if you have something in mind. My custom engagement ring turned out exactly how I pictured it! Don't waste your time with the other places, this is the one stop shop! read more

Genuinely great people!!! My fiancé and I went to go pick out our wedding rings a few weeks ago, and were planning on going somewhere else for our rings, but ended up buying here because of the genuine care that Ellie and her family gave to us. We started out at their new location, 44 west 47th to look for my ring, and then went over to 9 west 47th to get my fiancé's ring. Ellie and her family made sure we were comfortable through the whole process. They really are lovely, honest people. I told my sister to go get her wedding band here too! We felt really good after we left and can't wait to get our rings!!!! read more

This is my very 1st Yelp review, and I feel strongly about leaving one for this wonderful store. My now husband and I went to the diamond district to look for an engagement ring back in Nov and found this wonderful store. The store stood out from the rest because instead of the "We Buy Gold" signs, you would find beautifully made jewelry in the window display, as a high-end jeweler should be. So immediately, I knew this is the right place for us. We were greeted by the store owner, a respectable elder gentleman who takes great pride in his business, and from that point on, the entire experience was nothing but pleasant. They have pretty much all the classic and trendy styles to choose from, but I knew exactly what I wanted, an emerald cut gold engagement ring. Cut the long story short, we narrowed down to 2 stunning diamonds, one larger and much more expensive than the other. But the owner was passionately trying to convince me that the smaller one was the better choice, because I would get more for the money, and simply, it is a better stone. Now, how rare is that?! We bought the stunning smaller stone with a beautiful setting, and the price was very fair, very. 2 weeks later when I went back to pick it up, I was simply speechless by how beautiful the ring is. Since then, whom ever sees it would have that gasp sound followed by "this is stunning" phrase. I would be so proud to show it off here, but selfishly, I want to keep it rare and one of a kind. But really, IT IS STUNNING, and for such a decent price!! We love the ring and enjoyed the experience so much that instead of buying our wedding bands from Tiffany, we bought from Diamond Scene. Again, the rings are gorgeous! This is a respectable family owned business, the owner, his son, and everyone is very friendly, and their jewelry are truly works of art - with very reasonable price. If you ever visit NY's diamond district, or if you need to make a purchase, you should definitely visit this store. You won't regret it........ read more

This is an honest family business with a beautiful selection of rings and jewelry, and great prices. My husband bought my stunning engagement ring here and our wedding bands. We have received so many compliments and have recommended Diamond Scene to friends and family, who have all been just as happy. They go above and beyond; highly recommended! read more

I had such a good experience at Diamond Scene. It's very daunting buying an engagement and wedding ring - making sure you get the right ones, for the right price and have a positive experience doing it. I had all of this at Diamond Scene. The customer service was excellent and the interactions felt genuine, so a great experience. I had two rings made for me, which are beautiful. I feel I received a good deal, was treated well and ended up with beautiful rings that I'll always be happy to wear. read more

You will recommend Diamond Scene to everyone!. I was looking for the perfect engagement ring for a week or two before I went online and read all the positive reviews on Diamond Scene. "Family Business" "Best certified stones in Diamond District" "Great Selection" "Unbeatable Prices"... I thought I would see for myself what all the hype was about. I also had the opportunity to visit a couple of the other popular options on the street. Diamond Scene was incomparable. First off, when shopping for an engagement ring, at Diamond Scene everyone understands that this is probably your biggest purchase to date. The selection of diamonds and settings are vast---and they do great custom work as well. The location and store is the nicest I have seen on 47th street and 5th avenue. My ring appraised for much more than I had paid, but more importantly I knew that for future purchases or any issues I may have, diamond scene would always be there for me. I have sent many friends who have bought beautiful jewelry and wedding bands from them too---all at very fair prices. read more

A great place for all your jewelry needs. I came here to buy a pair of earrings for my wedding day with my mom. I bought a beautiful pair of chandelier diamond earrings. They were a fourth generation family business. The daughter tried on everything that I needed for me to make a decision. The other son was so helpful and kept trying to show us more merchandise that could possibly suit my needs. This was such an important day for me and they definitely helped with it. They have exclusive pieces that no one really had on that street. I highly recommend going to Diamond Scene, I promise you won't be going to any other jewelers afterwards! read more

My boyfriend and I planned to browse 47th street to see what kind of engagement ring I'd be interested in (and he'd be interested in buying!). After a few unpleasant interactions with other jewelers, we finally arrived at Diamond Scene. They're a small family of jewelers who were SO patient and accommodating. We didn't feel rushed or like they treated us any differently from customers who were ready to purchase something at the moment. We talked about our budget and they were able to show us a variety of gorgeous stones and settings -- my boyfriend and I left feeling happy and confident that we found my soon-to-be engagement ring! Diamond Scene has an amazing selection for any budget and the family couldn't have been more helpful and kind. I can't wait to be back for our wedding bands!! read more

My whole family and I go to Diamond Scene for all our jewelry needs. Amir and his whole family are respectful of budget and give tons of options. Their selection is gorgeous and I love wearing my jewelry! read more

I highly recommend the Diamond Scene for your jewelry needs. I searched in several stores in the diamond district for the perfect engagement ring for my girlfriend. I knew exactly what I wanted and refused to compromise. I was impressed with the appearance of the store from the moment I walked in. The diamond scene is family operated and all their diamonds come GIA certified. This family is very professional and friendly. They did not pressure me into getting anything I did not want. The exact ring I wanted wasn't there. But that didn't stop them. They told me the combination of the setting I wanted and the diamond I wanted can be made to my liking. I believed in them and they kept their word. They custom made the exact ring my girlfriend will adore. It's a pear shaped, 1.02 carat, E color, VS2 clarity diamond in a 18 karat white gold split shank setting. It's absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to propose next month. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality diamonds at a place they can trust. read more

My best friend's husband came here for all of her jewelry (engagement, wedding band and other gifts) - I always admired her jewels and my fiancé noticed! He worked with the son and daughter, it's a family-owned business, and they helped him pick out a GORGEOUS ring for me. I get compliments all the time. I was so happy to finally meet the whole family when we went back together to pick out our bands. They were all so patient, accommodating and it seemed like they really wanted us to leave super happy - and we did! I recommend Diamond Scene to anyone who's looking for a great deal, patience and a vast, beautiful collection! read more

I've been working with Diamond Scene for decades. They carry the most beautiful and up-to-date styles, in the highest quality. I haven't seen such a collection of fine diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and rubies by any other company - and, I LOVE jewelry! They will give you wholesale prices too. read more

Diamond Scene has won me over for life after my recent ring shopping experience I had with them. In a nutshell, their expertise in the field of jewelry, their professionalism in the way they treat the customer, and their evident passion for their craft were all truly impressive and next to no one. This review is well deserved. Part One. I was engagement ring shopping for my girlfriend. It goes without explanation how important of a purchase this is. To add to the pressure, my fiance has a particular love for jewelry that runs deep in her family - it is something very special to her. So I knew that this purchase was an extremely important one that I couldn't get wrong. When I landed on Diamond Scene, I was immediately impressed by the fact that they treated me seriously from the very start. I also liked that they were very open with me when talking about pricing of various items - unlike many other jewelers who ask you to share your budget first before even working with you, which I am not comfortable doing. Ultimately, it was their expertise in jewelry and passion for helping me build a beautiful ring which eventually led me to choose Diamond Scene as the place to buy the ring from. The process was very smooth from beginning to end. On my first visit, we basically built the ring design together. On the next visit, I came to inspect the center stone, and I brought my girlfriend with me so we could try on the band of the ring together and make sure of her ring size. From here, Diamond Scene went ahead with making the ring. On the last visit, I picked up the ring itself - it was certainly the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Part Two. I proposed to my girlfriend with the ring, she said yes, and she was absolutely thrilled with how the ring looked. I was so relieved and happy at how much she loved it. However, there was one little problem - the ring size. Turns out, the ring size we had chosen together wasn't working for her and she needed an adjustment down about a half size. Okay, so we went in to Diamond Scene together to ask them to reduce the ring size. They said no problem, and that it would come back to her in the same condition as before only a half size smaller - we wouldn't even notice any differences. When they said it was ready to pick up, I came in to the store and saw that the ring had successfully been reduced a half size smaller, but there were definitely some noticeable differences - oh no! The band of the ring had lost some of its original key features that my fiance had wanted. My fiance was feeling so crushed when she found this out, and she wished we had never resized the ring in the first place. She was scared that the beauty of the ring would never be restored after this. I was feeling nervous about what to do with it. I decided to trust in Diamond Scene one more time and I give them another chance to fix the ring. (I felt this was a make-or-break situation for them. As I said before, my fiance has a special love for jewelry, and she was feeling crushed after two versions of the ring not satisfying her. Diamond Scene had two strikes, three strikes and you're out as they say. But what did they do on the third pitch? THEY HIT A HOME RUN!) They apologized for what happened with the ring, which was a good sign to me, and I saw they were determined to get it right the third time. I left them the ring with a list of features the ring had to be fixed according to, which they agreed to, and they went to work on it. Eventually, they ended up making a key decision to re-band the ring with new metal at no charge to me at all. They really showed me they cared when they did that. They put all of their effort into getting the ring perfect this time around. When I came to pick it up, my goodness - the ring was even more beautiful than the original. It was indeed perfect! When I presented it to my fiance, she was ecstatic over it. Literally jumping up and down happy. Now she wears it every single day with the happiest smile ever. I guess what they say is true, the third time is the charm. Thank you Diamond Scene. Part Three. After the emotional thrill with the engagement ring, my fiance and I decided to get our wedding bands from Diamond Scene as well. We got matching bands with an engraving of our wedding date, and ones that matched my fiance's engagement ring beautifully when she would wear them together. The process was once again very smooth. I recently went and picked up the rings, and they are just stunningly beautiful. Perfection. Well done Diamond Scene! So this was my ring shopping experience with Diamond Scene. Looking back on all of it, I can honestly say I couldn't have chosen a better place for these rings. In addition to their expertise and passion for jewelry, the family are genuine people that my fiance and I enjoy having a relationship with. Marvelous people. Congratulations Diamond Scene, you have won two customers for life. read more

Moen and his family were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We found the perfect diamond and setting for a great price! Walked in off the street and felt completely comfortable right away. After picking the stone and setting I had the ring the same day. Definitely pay Moen a visit for your diamond needs! read more

Once I had my mind set that I wanted to propose to my gf, the next step was buying the ring. I had precisely zero experience buying nice jewelry, but did my research online about diamonds and decided I'd give NYC's Diamond District a go. I entered the process with much trepidation. I'd walked through the DD before and it is a buzz of activity, shiny lights, pretty girls trying to entice you into their stores. It's fun to just visit, but I was worried I was out of my depth doing this shopping for real. What a great find this place was for me then! I had no prior recommendations for any places, so started off just mumbling a few words to a few people at their counters before shuffling off. Then I reached Diamond Scene and the owner, Moein, asked if I was looking for anything. When I explained I was tentatively looking for an engagement ring, he invited me to sit down with him (other places didn't have this amount of space, off to one side and out of the way) and started taking me through his fantastic inventory of diamonds. In all he must have spent a good 2-3 hours with me all in (I went back a couple of times before finally making the purchase), was incredibly patient, informative and generally put me at my ease enough to be comfortable making my decision. He was very sensitive to my budget (I had to convince him to show me something above the original budget I stated was my limit!) and insisted I look at each diamond up close and showed me what to look for in each. This is a truly family business. His wife is the person who designs and sets the rings (mine was absolutely beautiful - halo setting for a cushion cut diamond), and his son and daughter work there too. All of them were a pleasure to deal with, and 100% professional the entire time. I loved their story - Moein's father and grandfather were both in the diamond business and now they are handing it down to their next generation too. I have nothing but glowing reviews for these people. I am excited to take my fiancee back there to show off the ring on her finger this time, as well as to start looking at wedding bands! read more

I forgot to write a review when we were in NY and my fiancé and I picked out my engagement ring. The owners were pleasant, friendly and so helpful in making sure I was picking out the exact engagement ring I wanted. My husband and I are so glad we went there. We recommend everyone going to see them!! read more

I shopped around extensively for an engagement ring, both in retail shops and from select wholesalers. I was very happy with the price & quality I got from them, and have recommended a few friends who were also very satisfied. Moen, Ellie & family are good poeople. read more

My husband and I recently bought an anniversary ring from Diamond Scene. The ring is stunning and everything I wished for thanks to the amazing customer service received by this family run business. Together the father, the genius behind mounting and completing my ring to perfection, the son who found me the perfect, excellent yellow diamond stone and mom, the glue that bonds this family together and who worked with me to help me to get the results I was looking for. You do not need to shop around because Diamond Scene is the complete package. They listened, they cared and they put their love in what they sell. I am so grateful to have found them. They made my weekend in New York so much better and more!!!! read more

We bought our engagement ring from them and we could not be happier with the experience. Working with Moein was a joy. He was so helpful, considerate, and accommodating. I was very surprised. I was expecting the whole engagement-ring buying process to be an ordeal, but he made it very easy for us in many ways. I have a high-quality ring that I am thrilled with - it looks like it costs twice as much as we paid for it! They are honest, fair, and have beautiful quality diamonds. We highly recommend them! read more

I love Ring. Moein Afshar, at 44 W 47th Street, was very nice. He steered us to the ring we wanted quickly. He was professional and knew diamonds. We are enjoying and everyone admires the diamond, and we will go back. read more

The pearl ring they sold me fell apart and I was only able to wear it a few times. After my last review the owner called and started arguing. This is a very unprofessional company. read more

So, I never right reviews for anything but I am going to visit diamond scene again today and as reluctant as I am to let everyone else know about my secret in the diamond district, it's only appropriate that I make sure everyone knows about the family owned business that has given me, not only quality/fair/timely service but an experience that has kept me coming back for 6 years now.. I had originally purchased my wife's setting for her engagement ring with Amir and his super nice, very knowledgable and easy to work with family. We already had the stone but they showed me many different styles help me choose what was best for us and custom made the setting to fit our existing stone 6 years ago for our wedding... Resized it 3xs with zero fuss and 2 years ago we went back to upgrade the stone and setting from them.. We've also been back to purchase a few other items along the way... I have worked with a few jewelers but none as helpful, patient and eager to please as Diamond Scene.. Don't go anywhere else, if you do, you'll surely regret it. read more
