Outstanding Experience - Rare Rolex, Brand New Finding a brand new Rolex Ladies Datejust 278344RBR is incredibly difficult, especially this exact configuration. After searching extensively and coming up empty through authorized dealers, I was thrilled to find this piece through Diamond Source NYC. Working directly with Igor was smooth, professional, and transparent from start to finish. He clearly understands rare Rolex references and answered every question thoroughly, without pressure. The watch arrived brand new, unworn, and complete, exactly as described, and at a very competitive price given how hard this model is to find. If you're searching for a rare Rolex and want peace of mind, I highly recommend Igor at Diamond Source NYC. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. read more

I had a great experience working with diamond source to find the exact watch I was looking for. They were able to get the deal done at a great price and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the purchase. Thank you to the whole team at diamond source, can't wait to buy another watch when time allows it! Thank you read more

I'm sorry to have to write this but I went shopping for a vintage Rolex while visiting New York and called this place about a specific watch listed on their website, to ask if it was in stock. The man said yes and to come on in. I went the next day. You guessed it...I got there, they made me wait a few minutes while they sat around doing nothing and then claimed the watch had been sold last week. Then they said they don't usually let people try on their watches (lmao) but they would let me try one on. Then they wouldn't let me try on a second (an AP). It was an extremely unpleasant experience and I cannot imagine why they think anyone would choose to make a $20,000+ purchase there. Maybe you have to be friends with them. Who knows. There are hundreds of other vendors on the same block...go elsewhere. read more

I was searching for a watch they have and for 6 months the price was fixed the day I made a decision to buy it they increased the price and mentioned the previous price was a mistake. Not to mention I spoke to them several times in between... read more

I have purchased my custom engagement ring & sent multiple friends here for theirs. Carlos always is the clearest, most honest & always delivers the perfect ring. He & Diamond Source have now become my family & I's go-to for all our jewelry. read more

After many visits and meetings, I finally purchased a diamond ring from Igor at Diamond Source. My daughter's engagement ring came from Diamond Source and when she heard I wanted to purchase a diamond ring she referred me to Igor. After many trips and meetings, he found the perfect diamond for me and had a custom setting made for me from a ring I had shown him. Since then I have purchased diamond stud earrings and am presently waiting to order diamond hoops. Even though my calls, texts and visits are years apart, I am always greeted with a smile and he always takes his time to "catch up!" I would highly recommend Diamond Source for your purchase! read more

We got our anniversary ring here, price was more than fair. Carlos was kind and informative with our customized order. Just recently, our center stone started to rattle on the settings, not really the best quality. Might look to have ours traded in. read more

I tried to sell my gold but they tried to rip me off.... offered me far less than it it was worth and I was able to sell it right away from a store two stores down for the market value. I even called ahead to get a quote and they told me one thing, but when I saw them in person they changed their quote last moment. read more

This is a very honest and extremely customer centric establishment. In 2007, I bought an engagement ring from Igor for my fiancé with an agreement that if I decide to upgrade he will take this ring and give me credit towards the upgrade. Well fast forward to 2017, Igor not only kept his word, gave me an excellent price for the upgraded ring but also patiently took his time with my wife. We went to him about 5 times and finally he had the new diamond set on a custom made ring based on the picture that my wife gave him. It's great to know that there are still honest people in the diamond industry. Thank you Igor! We will see you in 10 years yet again. read more

Stay away from these rude scammers. These 5 star reviews are BS. Do not buy or sell anything from Diamond source! read more

After looking for a specific watch for weeks, I found it on their website and ordered it. I received multiple emails confirming the order and informing me of shipping dates. Given the size of the order, when I called to confirm, I was told the watch was sold 4 months ago and they can "try to find another one, but on guarantees". Total bait and switch/up sell. If you don't have the watch, add "out of stock" to the website - particularly if it was sold 4 months ago. Waste of time and frustrating. read more

I had a wonderful experience here with Carlos, shopping for an engagement ring. Carlos was patient, informative, and best of all - not pushy. He listened to everything I had to share about what the perfect ring would be, and actually recommended a lower priced option than the one I had my sights set on, based on everything I had told him. I was thoroughly pleased with that. And he ended up being right. read more

Buying an engagement ring is a big decision so when I finally made the call to take the plunge I tried to find something that was in my budget and something the girlfriend liked. My first attempt-one made online was terribly inadequate, so much so that she accompanied me to some physical locations to make sure she knew what suited her tastes. Diamond Source was one of the first places I went to and honestly, I should have stopped there. Carlos, was laid back, informative and even took me outside to see how a stone looked in a particular setting! So, that should be surprising for a couple reasons. 1) They have stones on hand. I didn't think that wouldn't be the norm but a lot of other places just have a sheet of paper that says it's a diamond. 2) He walked outside with a stranger just to see how it would look in real conditions. For that was mind boggling-and I have to admit, a certain part of me wanted to snatch the whole thing from his hand and run away while laughing maniacally. Fortunately, I didn't, but after having visited some other shops all over I came back. The atmosphere at some of the other places were so high pressure I was pretty certain that they made their own diamonds by laying out a piece of coal and just letting nature do its course. Carlos, on the other hand was really patient, showing us stone after stone and answering all of my questions in a straight forward manner and felt he wanted to educate not just make a sale. He basically made everything easy to deal with, not just finding things in my budget but giving me as much of a deal as possible. Seriously, at least worth a stop-especially if you know next to nothing about rings and want to learn. read more

Picking out an engagement ring is never easy. They helped point me in the right direction. They walked me through everything and answered every question I had. They showed me different options and made the whole experience as smooth as possible. I go to them for all my watches and jewelry. Igor and Arsenie are the best. Thank you guys! read more

Diamond Source - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

This place is amazing. Diamond Source and most importantly Igor have been our jeweler for 18 years since my husband purchased my engagement ring. Igor has since sold us our wedding bands, diamond earrings, diamond cross, Rolex the list goes on. I am so particular about what I like and Igor has always listened and made sure all my custom pieces were made to perfection! We were back again last week to upgrade my engagement ring and band. Igor listened and had extreme patience as we looked at several diamonds before choosing the perfect one. He went out of his way to be sure I was happy and they are building my custom dream rings as we speak. We have total trust in Diamond Source they treat is just like family and we will always come back!! Mr & Mrs Paolo read more

Where do I start, my fiancé and I plus the children had an appointment with Carlos recently, and to my surprised he was helpful patient with a nice attitude.

He knew exactly what we was interested in. Overall experience with Carlos and his staff was hassle free, friendly and was not trying to kill you in cost . He definitely worked with us which is a huge bonus in these times today . I am going back to pick up my fiancé ring which we will be customized so I'm excited and I recommend you go here for the experience too.

Diamond Source - 3 carat - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

READ BEFORE YOU BUY HERE!!! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING HERE! THESE OTHER REVIEWS ARE ALL SPAM/SCAM. This place is a total scam. I was recommended by a friend as well and I though I was in good hands. I was just excited to get my Fianceè a beautiful token of my love for her. Well. First of all - Carlos sold me an SI2 that looked beautiful in the store. The way it hit the lights and such. You couldn't see a single inclusion. Literally not one. I thought I had a GREAT DEAL! Then after a few weeks, you could see HUGE BLACK spots in the diamond. HE SAID IT WAS JUST DIRTY (what am I stupid?) I had to take the ring back 3 times to have it properly sized. Every time he told me it would be sized correctly. Anddd it would be incorrect again and again. MASTER CON MAN. I swear he must have switched out the center stone one of those times. If that wasn't enough opportunity. How about the two times diamonds fell out of the band? On their own! Each time he explained that it was normal to happen! (His words not mine) So I took it to GIA and has a gemologist look at it. She confirmed the poor quality craftsmanship -And that it was poorly set in the setting/band. (Their were huge gaps that shouldn't have been there). Here's the kicker - she said it was worth less than 1/3 what I paid for it. This place is a joke. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Recently purchased a luxury watch from Diamond Source NYC. Was going to buy a watch in stock, but asked my salesperson, Dmytro, if he could find a different watch for me. Within 24 hours he found the exact watch that I was looking for. I received the watch 48 hours later on the West coast. The watch is gorgeous and came complete as described. I am thrilled with my purchase and extremely happy with the entire transaction from start to finish. Dmytro was great to work with - very professional and friendly throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for utmost professional service in the jewelry market. read more

Extremely poor customer service, I would not recommend purchasing anything from Diamond Source. Diamond Source was recommended by a friend so I thought I was in good hands. I experienced two issues: ONE: I was initially quoted a price for a 4mm platinum band. The price was increased twice on subsequent visits. TWO: The staff sized our rings and assured we would be satisfied. When I received the bands through the mail, mine was too large, it easily slipped off my finger. When I returned to ask for it to be resized I was told I must pay $20. Having spent a considerable amount for my initial purchase, I believe they should be focused on making certain my ring was delivered correctly. THEIR EXCUSE: I was told that they had to pay the jeweler (which is their own Diamond Source factory). I was also told that many people return for re-sizing due to climate change and weight gain I however had just purchased this ring, sized by Diamond Source staff, and clearly it was too large to stay on my finger (the re-sixing was a full half size less). I could not be more dissatisfied with the service I received. DO NOT purchase from Diamond Source if you expect a company that will stand behind their product and deliver acceptable customer service. read more

I shopped for the best deal and service for weeks. Carlos at Diamond Source was the best, period. He took his time to understand what we were looking for in a custom engagement ring, worked with us to create a custom design, and produced a one caret diamond ring that was perfect. The price was competitive, especially for the diamond district in NYC. He worked with us to produce the product we wanted within hours of our first meeting. We returned for a six month inspection of the ring and were treated with the same high quality personal care. We will be returning in a few months for the wedding rings. I highly recommend Carlos and the Diamond Source for your engagement ring and any jewelry you need. read more

Scam merchant. They lied to me about return policy. Said it was "30 Day Money Back Guarantee" then switched it later by pointing out they had fine print that said returns only if appraised value is less. They even have a sign that says "30 Day Money Back Guarantee" and then in tiny tiny font underneath is the appraised value blurb. They know no one would buy from them if their return policy is only based on appraised value. So they misrepresent their return policy up front blatantly. Mind you they can reject the appraised value or claim to not agree so really they have no return policy. Sellers like these need to be kicked out by the rest of the honest Diamond district dealers. And most of these reviews are fake by the seller. read more

I'm really shocked by the negative reviews. I bought a Rolex from Diamond source and got a really great deal. They were extremely helpful and their service was quick! They sent out my watch the following day! I also asked about diamond stud earrings and they were very honest about the quality and price. Thanks for everything! J read more

Bought an IWC Pilot Chronograph from Carlos. Carlos is a gentleman. Very pleased 100%. Watch factory fresh with boxes paperwork etc etc. Carlos had the watch in hand within 24 hours of me ordering it. I will recommend Carlos to anyone serious about buying a high end watch. Thanks Carlos. read more

My experience with this merchant could not have been worse only because they never placed my order so I never received the watch I had planned on purchasing from this establishment. I like to get everything in writing so I emailed Diamond Source requesting a quote on a Rolex watch and they emailed me back the quote rather fast, mind you this quote was over 500.00 more than I had been verbally quoted from an associate at this store (this is why everything must be in writing) only three weeks prior to my requesting the quote in writing. Less than two business days later I placed an email order for the Rolex watch stating exactly what I wanted, the billing information, credit card information, shipping information, etc. My order email could not have been more detailed and spelled out. I waited (2) business days and I did not get an email reply back from Diamond Source acknowledging that they had received the email order. Mind you, Diamond Source had received the 4 or so emails I had sent them when we were emailing back and forth about the quote, ironic the only email they did not receive was the "order email". So the "order email" did not go to spam. I have a feeling they just did not want to honor the last quote they had given me on the watch as why else would a business turn down business? I won't be doing business with them business hey would not place my order. If Diamond Source replies to my emails and or honors the first verbal quote they gave me that I had written down when I had talked to Carlos, I will reflect that information here and update the review accordingly.. read more

I've worked with a lot of jewelers before in my time, but this jeweler (Vlad) stands out from the rest! Excellent customer service, by far the BEST PRICE I've received on my watch, lightning quick delivery. Believe me, I am going to save you a lot of time shopping around. Stick with these guys and save yourselves a headache and money. My only regret...Is that I wish I could've found them sooner!! I've already recommended all of my friends. Before you go anywhere else, give Vlad a call. You won't be disappointed! read more

It took me awhile to write this review but I have not forgotten about them! While shopping for my engagement ring I went to the district on a Sunday being that it was my first time in the district I did not know 80% of the Jewelry stores were closed.So my fiance and I decided to ck out the stores that were open in hunt for my ring! We went into about 6 stores before running into this one. When we walked in they greeted us warmly and were the ONLY and yes the ONLY ones to Congratulate us on our engagement. I felt good after that, They were extremely helpful to us and not pushy at all! It was a very relaxed experience especially when this is a big purchase.They showed me different diamonds that I asked to see and once I picked the diamond they made it their business to keep me happy with the perfect band that I wanted to match. I learned a lot about diamonds and the quality that day. They were also VERY HONEST with us with the type of ring I choose. I even hit them with the "I dont want no foggy diamonds" they laughed and made me comfortable to know that my diamonds will never get foggy, its been about 6 months and my diamonds are still very much clear and FRESH! I get compliments all the time from other woman. We are going back this month to get our bands from them and I cant wait! read more

Igor was great. He made me a great deal on my trade in and the watch I traded up too. The environment was the friendliest place on 47th street having canvassed several dealers in the district for 2 days. It was a pleasure to deal with them and will be my choice place to transact in NYC read more

Honestly, engagement ring shopping in the diamond district is stressful. Many of the people working there put a lot of pressure on you to make a sale. "Deals" that will go away if you step foot out of their store. Don't deal with any of that nonsense. Eventually, I made it into the Diamond Source and met Carlos. He was extremely helpful and most importantly, did not pressure me to stay in the store until I made a decision. Being an engineer, I did a lot of research beforehand and was very particular in what I wanted. It took a few trips back to the city to find exactly the right diamond, but he eventually nailed it. My fiancé is extremely happy with her engagement ring. Since then, I've referred my brother there to get his engagement ring, and today, I just received a perfectly matching wedding band. If you're in the area looking for diamonds, stop by the Diamond Source before you buy anywhere else. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is great. Good selection and straight forward service and advice. Carlos is the man! Everyone else looked nice too, but definitely ask for Carlos. read more

So, I decided to buy a Breitling watch($6300) via these clowns. I ordered it on Saturday. On Tuesday, I was informed by Brian that I can only pay via wire transfer - even though I have a credit card with no balance - oh, and a credit rating of 800+. So they took the money out of my credit card, even though - supposedly, I couldn't pay by credit card. It is now Friday, and they still have not reset the balance of the credit card. What kind of scam is this? Future awareness, I've had enough of watch companies in general. read more

Carlos was super helpful, very clear, direct, and offered me a better value than anything else in the area. He even emailed a receipt and prepared a full appraisal for me. For studs, they offer that you can come back and trade them up later on. Nothing more you can ask for! read more

These guys are extremely rude. I reached out with a genuine question and got a smart cocky response. Extremely unprofessional. Unfortunately these guys are akin to ticket touts; they buy regular off the shelf items and mark them up significantly. I would advise anyone to go to actual reputable licensed dealers and not this back street shady vendor. read more

Had the pleasure of purchasing a new Rolex GMT from Vlad. He made buying a luxury watch so effortless. The price was outstanding and beat all watch dealers. Received the watch a day after placing order and product was as described. Hoping to purchase a gold Rolex from Vlad down the road. read more

Diamond Source - Rolex GMT - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

While in NYC my Dad and I went to the diamond district to find an upgrade for my Mom's engagement ring. We visited many jewelers and looked at many stones but we ultimately went back to Arsenie at Diamond Source not only for the STUNNING stone but also for his exceptional customer service. Over the two days he sat with us and answered our questions and showed many options within the range we were looking pointing out the differences between each stone. After being made to feel uncomfortable by other vendors, Arsenie never made me feel like he had something better to do, he was patient and kind and made the whole transaction a pleasure. After the stone was selected he even walked us to the Christmas tree while it was being set!! They did a wonderful job setting the new {much larger} stone in her beloved existing setting, polishing everything up & giving it a much needed refresh to keep up with the new center stone! Very happy with our experience at Diamond Source and even more happy to see Mom's face light up when she looks at her well deserved sparkly new stone! Thank you Arsenie!! Oh, and the price was excellent too!! :) read more

I just bought a Rolex Submariner from Igor and it was all good. Everyone outside of their store wants to lure you in and they don't really let you breathe. Igor and his people where good at not pushing me and respected my timing. I showed them two other Rolex to exchange for the one i liked and we got to a fair agreement. In other stores they took my watches too low or i felt they where not telling the truth. With Igor, i know he made a business but i also had a good deal. I always thought a business is when the two people doing a deal walk away not so comfortable. I think both ends have to let go of their expectations and i believe we both moved a little. They polished my new watch and they where respectful and fast. If i buy again i will not walk all over 47th to find a deal. I will go directly to Igor and his team. Thanks! read more
