My fiancée and I had a great experience. We ended up purchasing her engagement ring and wedding ring at Diamond Source. We've had the engagement ring for about a year now, and we've had no issues. read more

Igor and Diamond Source are great. To date, I have purchased a watch and earrings for my wife. Also had a watch fixed. Highly trusted with great customer service and prices. I will continue to be a loyal client. read more

Carlos is an honest seller. I got my ring out a few months ago, and am still very pleased with my purchase. Thanks again Carlos!

My husband and I recently decided to sell my engagement ring to pursue an investment opportunity. We recieved several quotes with a range of $10k. After taking the ring around to several jewelers and wholesale buyers/sellers, we met with Vlad, who was our last stop before making a decision. Our experience with Vlad was exactly what we wanted-- straightforward and simple. Unlike a few earlier experiences, full of lowballing and used car salesman tricks, he took into consideration our previous offers and topped them, giving us very close to our (realistically) ideal sell price. While the venue is small, everyone I met appeared vested in running a fair business and growing relationships with clients. When the time comes for us to restore a diamond on my finger, we will be going back to them to purchase a ring. read more

I was shopping for a high end watch and saw "The One" I wanted advertised at Diamond Source. I also had a nice Rolex I was considering selling and contacted them. I spoke with Vlad and he was great to work with. He offered me a very fair price on my watch and discounted his to meet another competitor's price I had found. Vlad continually communicated with me along the way to ease my fears of doing such a high dollar transaction with someone I had never met several states away and lived up to his word. My new watch was just as described and it was a smooth transaction. I would have no qualms about doing business with Diamond Source again. read more

On a recent trip to NYC, I decided to have my diamond ring reset. After finding and purchasing the perfect setting, Igor had my ring reset and sized perfectly within one hour. He also prepared the setting appraisal. I would definitely purchase from Diamond Source again in the future. read more

So here's my story. I recently turned 60 and my wife and kids wanted to get me something special. Being watches are one of my additions, I decided on the popular and hard to get Cartier Tank MC Blue. I did my due diligence and came up with a price that would make me happy. I headed out to 47th street and after a bit of looking and just to much unsuccessful haggling, I was just about to give up and head home, then a very nice gentlemen saw me walking past there store front more then once and insisted I go inside. Man am I happy I listened to him. I walked in, he introduced me to Carlos and explained what I was looking for and the next thing I know, they agreed on my price without a haggle, set a date to pick it up and I'm now home staring at this beautiful watch. They came through 100% so much so that I'm heading back this weekend for a second purchase. If your not sure about who to deal with on 47th, you have no worries when it comes to Diamond Source NYC! read more

Credit where it is due, so strong if my sentiment that I had to share this. This is the only watch dealer to trust in the diamond district. I have bought several Rolex's usually from authorized dealers, however they were out of stock for the model I was after. I was recently in the market for a new Rolex and priced out 29 competitors in the tri-state area. I took the analysis in to all of the 12 dealers in the infamous diamond district to be somewhat annoyed and shocked at the arrogance and lack of customer engagement. Diamond Source were the only ones who took the time to engage in a conversation and ended up beating all of their 11 competitors on price. read more

I just bought an Awesome watch from Diamond source!! And im very happy with my watch... Vlad was friendly very helpful and Understanding, he gave me a great deal on my watch that i couldnt resist. Also his customer service was excellent... not to mention shipping was super fast!! I will definately be doing business with Diamond source again in the future.. Thanks again Vlad! read more

Why would you buy from anyone else! We just bought a Rolex from these gentlemen and the experience was first class the entire time. We found Diamond Source on ebay and had our reservations buying an expensive watch over the internet. Fortunately my wife was in NYC a couple days later, and went in to see the watch in person. Vlad was there to help her and again, the entire experience was first class, no different than going into any fine jewelry store, only these guys have figured out how to do everything more efficiently than everyone else. Needless to say, we saved a considerable amount of money on the watch, way more than my wife's trip to NYC cost, and I now have a brand new Rolex. We will never purchase another item at a "retail" jewelry store again. If you have your doubts, go to NYC yourself and check them out. The deals are good enough at Diamond Source that you will be able to afford the trip out to see for yourself and still save money! Cheers and Thanks Vlad and Diamond Source!! Austin, TX read more

Diamond shopping is never easy, there's a lot of stress, a lot of research and most of all a lot of money!! I can't say enough how great these guys are. I worked with Arseny and he was unbelievable. Knowledgeable, patient, always happy to take time with you. I researched diamonds, the market, shopped around and really thought I knew my stuff. He educated me even further, got me EXACTLY what I was looking for with no compromises at a fantastic price. No better option out there! Can't thank him enough read more

Diamond source is my go to spot in NYC for watches and jewelry. Igor is a pleasure to deal with and provides excetional service. For all your jewelry needs, diamond source is the spot in the district. Thank you very much! read more

Vlad & Igor are amazing! They created a SPLENDID Custom Engagement Ring to my exact (and rather complicated) specifications and accomplished it PERFECTLY and very quickly! Everything about my experience with Diamond Source exceeded my expectations! Great Value! read more

Go to Carlos. He is as good as they come. Honest seller! No pressure, super informative, and gave me more time to pay for my stone with zero hesitation! Will always go to him. read more

My fiance proposed to me with a ring from Diamond Source and it is BEAUTIFUL!! I had to go back to get it re-sized and they were very friendly and accommodating - even though I came outside of the jeweler's hours. Thank you for your good service! I'll be back to get the wedding bands!!! read more

The communication and the 41mm Rolex was at it's best, can not express in words the joy of talking with this jeweler and the handling and fast shipping. Thank you Diamond Source read more

Shopping for diamonds can be stressful and overwhelming! Luckily, these guys are trustworthy and honest. They gave me an outstanding deal, which I even verified multiple times. I highly recommend them to anyone shopping for gold & diamonds and don't know where to go. This was my best interaction for a high priced engagement ring. 100% trust and honesty. Igor is the best! read more

I work in manhattan and had the Luxury of having plenty of time to shop around for my wife's diamond engagement ring. I must have hit 10 places on 47th along with a few family friends that were diamond dealers. I wound up coming back to diamond source and dealing with Carlos. I got a flawless 1.25 ascher cut for my wife that she was thrilled with. I did my homework and Carlos was willing to deal with me coming back 4 times without making a purchase. I couldn't be happier with the ring and Diamond Source has a buy back policy at any time and guaranteed full purchase price in return should I one day come in to some more money and upgrade my wife's stone. I come back every year to have her ring cleaned and inspected so it's not loose and fall out free of charge. I couldn't be happier with these guys and have had 2 friends purchase their wife's diamonds here from Carlos. I tell everyone look around first and get ideas on prices for what you want and go see Carlos after and he'll beat it. He's 3 for 3 so far. I highly recommend. read more

The bottom line - do your research, understand exactly what you're looking for, and then go to Diamond Source to get the best stone at the best price. The guys are open, honest, have gorgeous stones and a return policy. What are you doing? Go to Diamond Source! Now more for those of you worried about spending thousands of dollars on a rock... First, a couple of pointers about buying diamonds in general. Do. Your. Research. Learn everything you can about diamonds. The 4 Cs? You're kidding, right? Understand the components of the 4 Cs. Want an example? Let's take color, that's simple. So a diamond is an F. What does that mean? D, E and F are white diamonds. Unless they are next to each other the F will look white just as the D does. That means an F is the best value of a diamond that, to the naked eye, will look white. Cut. The cut is 'excellent.' Great. Did you know about symmetry and polish? What about lower pavilions? All of these components factor into how brilliant a diamond shines, which at the end of the day is probably most important. There will be controls. For example, to my fiance the size of the diamond was important. I'm not Bill Gates so I didn't go buy a huge D color, Flawless clarity, ideal cut triple X stone. I educated myself on what I could look for in a stone that would do the most to get that "shiny sparkle" my fiance wants without blowing my budget (and Diamond Source sold me a gorgeous stone - more on that later). Once you understand what's important in finding a brilliant diamond look at Blue Nile. A LOT. Visit a lot of jewelry stores. Ask great questions based on what you now know about diamonds. Buying diamonds, like participating in any market, is about information. Diamond dealers have more information than you. This favors them. By educating yourself you level the playing field and you'll see better diamonds at a better price. If you walk into a store and immediately share your budget, you'll see a lower quality diamond at that price because they need to make money. This is why it's important to go a lot of jewelry stores. Go in ones you don't think will have the best diamonds. That way if you say something stupid, or share your budget too early, you aren't ruining your chance at the place you're actually going to buy the stone at. Now you're ready. Now you go to Diamond Source. Igor and Vlad are great and have beautiful stones. Read that again - they HAVE stones. What do I mean? If you walk into a diamond dealer's store and ask for a stone and he says "ok, let me call my guy I'll have it in 15 minutes" or asks you to make an appointment then he is getting diamonds from a broker. This isn't the end of the world, but it will cost you more because the broker isn't a retiree doing volunteer work - this is his job. If you can look at dealers' diamonds (that they own) you can get a better price because there's no broker. Diamond Source has a gorgeous selection of their own stones. I'm also confident they could get diamonds from brokers and still give you an incredibly fair price. Diamond Source is also very honest and open. You need to know which questions to ask and they will give you straight answers. They want you to find a beautiful stone (and guess what? they have them!). Unlike most dealers on 47th, there is no pressure to buy. What else is great? 30-day return policy. Seems obvious, right? Actually most dealers only except exchanges. Most probably wouldn't sell you a fake diamond, but what if they did? You're screwed. Not at Diamond Source. See, this stuff is important. Other important points - my fiance had very specific requests about the ring, the sizing, the look. I kept her involved throughout the process and we were able to come look at the actual rings (I purchased the wedding band at the same time as the engagement ring) before the diamonds were set to make sure they were exactly what she wanted. The guys were awesome. What more do you need to know? read more

I had a great experience working with Igor on an Internet order. He was very responsive to all my questions, and arranged for speedy processing and delivery of my order. And pricing was great! Hope to do business again. read more

Jewelery buying could be a scary endeavor for the generation of men that only know sports and video games. They need a place to go where a "guy's guys" could give the straightforward approach to selling some jewelery. No fluff and good stones. They even have a flat screen with sports on. read more

Amazing selection of watches! I was looking for something that no one on 47th St. had, but Diamond Source. Even knowing this, I got a great trade for my Rolex and a super price on the watch I bought. Vlad was awesome as my brother and I joked and worked on a fair deal. This was such a fun experience. I would recommend these guys to anyone and I will definitely be back to make future purchases! A+++++ read more

Amazing jewelers Igor and Vald have become my friend at the rare watch I was looking forI ended up buying my ring for my wife Thank you if you need any custom job they will do it read more

BLOT: We purchased my engagement ring and the matching wedding band at Diamond Source, working with Igor and Vlad. Without hesitation I will be purchasing my fiancé's wedding band at Diamond Source and will be recommending Diamond Source to all of my soon-to-be-engaged friends... I have already recommended them to coworkers across the country who - just from the pictures and my rave reviews - plan to check out Diamond Source for an engagement ring "upgrade" when they come to NYC for our wedding! I am very I was very particular with what I wanted for my engagement ring and wedding band, and my fiancé knew this and let me pick out my rings. But, I have a hard time making decisions and tend to micro-manage. Despite being a very demanding customer Vlad and Igor at Diamond Source put up with me and never made me FEEL like I was being demanding or asking too much. They never put my fiancé or me in an uncomfortable situation. They were patient and understanding and answered all of my questions. They are straightforward, honest, and pressure you. Unlike the rest of the vendors in the Diamond District, they don't stand on the side of the street to pull you into the store or use fancy sales tricks to get you as a customer - they don't need to! When we landed in Diamond Source, we asked to see a diamond close to what I was looking for and they had a couple readily available. AND there was one I really liked. But as I mentioned I have a hard time making decisions. So we came back to look at the diamond at least three more times... that week. Vlad/Igor never pressured me to make a decision or hurry it up. They let me sit there for 30+ minutes (each time) and analyze the diamond over and over and over. They let me take the diamond outside to see it in different light. They let me take pictures. They let me take pictures of the GIA report. I really appreciated their patience and flexibility; it also proved to me that they have nothing to hide. They were happy to let us come to a decision on our own and not under pressure and go back and do homework, look at the stats, and feel comfortable that we were getting a great diamond at an even better value. Once we decided we wanted to go with Diamond Source, they turned around the rings in a very reasonable amount of time despite me asking to be involved EVERY step of the way (and they agreed without hesitation), which would typically slow down the process. If you're interested in knowing how we landed and chose Diamond Source.... We recently moved to NYC and thought it wouldn't hurt to give the Diamond District a shot - despite being first-time diamond purchasers with very little knowledge and experience with diamonds and jewelry. I knew what kind of look I wanted in terms of setting and diamond, but my fiancé wanted to be sure we were not going to get what I want, but also get a good quality diamond at a great value. We did our research up front - about everything and anything related to diamonds. We found a lot of videos online that helped us understand what certain things were, why they mattered, and more. We also spent a significant amount of time looking for reviews and information about "good" places in the diamond district. We didn't find Diamond Source this way. We actually found Diamond Source after we had gone to four of the 'recommended' places in the DD - and I HATED them all. I was NOT in a good mood after these disasters but as we walked by Diamond Source we saw they were still open after 6PM (RARE in the DD) and had nice jewelry in the window so we thought "why not -let's just check it out." I am glad we did! Diamond Source is open until 7 on the weekdays and have the best hours in the DD. This is something I appreciated being that I "needed" to go visit my now diamond every day for a week... or two. If you have a full time job, I promise that you will appreciate their hours when shopping and buying. You can actually get your work done AND go visit Diamond Source. Unlike the rest of the DD, they aren't packing up and closing at 4:30 PM nor do they pack up and close on you. I rarely write reviews but wanted to share my very positive experience with Diamond Source so others could have the peace of mind and confidence we did. Shopping for a diamond as a first time buyer is not the easiest of things to do - its unknown and has a lot of money and significance tied to it. I hope you found this review helpful and if you do decide to buy in the DD that you have a great experience with the guys at Diamond Source. read more

Just bought an expensive Cartier watch from these guys. I am in Atlanta and they are in NYC. Saw it on the internet and emailed to get info. They needed me to wire the money before sending it which made me a little nervous. I did the wire late yesterday and received the watch this morning via Fed Ex and it is really perfect! It was exactly as they described and I was completely happy with the transaction! I appreciate doing business with honest professionals ! I would definitely do business with them again. read more

Vlad is the bomb! I bought a Rolex yacht master from him and I am very happy with the watch and he made the whole process so easy. Definitely will recommend and refer people to him. read more

I was recommended to go to The Diamond Source to resize my engagement ring originally (it was purchased through a family friend in another state, so I didn't want to send it back there). From there, Carlos was so wonderful and also tightened and cleaned my ring 3 different times over the year when my stone came loose, for no charge. He is so wonderful to work with and provided such amazing customer service when I didn't even purchase my ring there. Highly recommend if you want to work with a great guy and get great service! read more

I worked with Vlad over the phone and I never met this gentleman. I bought a 26k Rolex watch from him sight unseen. I live in CT and did everything over the phone. I absolutely could not get a better price for a new Rolex ANYWHERE. Also his professionalism, knowledge and followup after the sale was exemplary. I highly recommend anyone who wants a great product at the right price to contact this company. You will be highly satisfied. read more

I am not one to write reviews but I felt the need to let other people know the experience I had with Igor from Diamond Source. My search for an engagement ring began three months earlier and after sitting down with eight different jewelers I was still searching. Each jeweler was trying to get the most money out of me and were totally dishonest. I finally spoke to a friend and he recommended Igor of Diamond Source. I had done my homework and sat with enough people to know that Igor was honest and upfront throughout the entire process. Igor was professional, curtious, genuine and delivered everything he had promised. I didn't find the stone I wanted on the first visit and Igor continued to show me as many stones as it took until I found the exact one I wanted the next visit. After three months of aggravation, Igor of Diamond Source provided me with an excellent buying experience. On top of that he also was able to give me the best price of anyone jeweler I dealt with and the best quality diamond. My fiancé absolutely loves the ring and that made me a happy guy. Gentleman, if you are looking to buy an engagement ring please go to Diamond Source on W. 47th St and ask for Igor. I promise you will have an excellent experience and walk out with the best quality ring. Best Regards, William Wright read more

I enjoyed working with Diamond Source.... I was looking for a specific watch that they actually had in inventory! This was a long distance transaction as I do not live in NYC and I had several questions that they were very efficient in responding. The transaction happened seamlessly and I received my watch overnight post as promised. The follow up after the sale, for an appraisal, was also just as efficient. Good job! read more

I have gotten several compliments on my ring. I give them 5 stars and will definitely buy from them again. read more
