    Resized antique ring
    Rachel H.

    Simon and his daughter were wonderful! They had my ring sized in under an hour and watches fixed/batteries replaced. So pleasant to speak to and you can tell Simon prides himself on his craftsmanship and neighborhood/community. Recommend everyone on the UES to pay Simon a visit! (Also saw so many beautiful pieces to add to the wish list...)

    Diamond earrings purchased at the store

    I stopped by this shop randomly since I've been feeling like I've been long overdue for more long lasting quality pieces and this place far exceed my expectations. The store has a lot of great reasonably priced options but the best part about the store is Simon who is patient, honest and receptive. Simon was never pushy even and even gave me honest feedback when I was in between three choices (I think one was a pricier option but he still encouraged me to select the more middle priced option). He also saw me try on these same earrings at least 5x right before closing but never rushed me and was extremely transparent about pricing even down to the credit card fee (and allowed me to run out to get cash to avoid paying $50 more). I'm really grateful for Simon and will definitely be visiting this store again in the future and encourage others to do the same

    On the right is the pin Simon repaired!!!

    After moving back to the UES I had the good fortune to go across the street to support "Local Merchants" I met Simon who couldn't have been nicer. I broke the tip off of my FAVORITE Rodeo Belt Buckle and X won at a Rodeo. Simon assured me he could fix it along with 6 of my watches I haven't worn in 12 years ! Well, not only did he fix it. He had it looking, sparkling new.!!!!! I was really impressed with his workmanship and his professionalism and the pride he takes in his work that's what's missing these days ! I plan to give Simon my jewelry business when I win the lottery or have some spare money ha ha ha but he truly is a GEM in the neighborhood. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Please help me support our local merchants you won't be sorry. Thank you, Simon

    I went to Simon to have my watch resized. He did it in less than 3 minutes. He is very friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back to have some jewelries reset/fixed

    Beautiful ring!

    We went back to look at the art deco collection and found a beautiful white gold and diamond ring - very exquisite and unique piece for sure and a true collector's item. The price was great and Simon even resized it (and cleaned some of the jewelry I had on so that it sparkled!) on the spot. Definitely my go-to jeweler close to home now. He also repairs and services watches (Rolex, Cartier, Michele, Omega, etc.) which is another plus! I have been to many jewelers in the city (and outside of the city) and Simon is one of the best: honest, detailed, and he truly takes care of his customers.

    How much to replace watch batteries? I have 3 that need them: swiss army, prada, and citizen. Let me know if you are able to do these and how much, thank you.

    No more than $10 each, including the labor as long as they are not Eco-Drive watches.

    I had to share my experience because I truly wish I had come here from the very beginning…read more Jangmi was actually the first place I went to when I started ring shopping. I wanted to see a variety of designs, shapes, and settings--and they had so many beautiful options to try on. The experience was warm, helpful, and not overwhelming at all. However, I ended up going with another jeweler a few stores down because my boyfriend had a connection there. The moment I received my ring, I immediately regretted not choosing Jangmi. The ring I got was nothing close to what I had asked for. The prongs were bent, and I had specifically requested a higher setting so that a wedding band could sit flush--but none of my bands (even very thin ones) sat properly. I brought it back and asked for multiple fixes. To his credit, he did make adjustments for free, but when I received the ring the second time, it still didn't match my vision at all. What I wanted was simple and classic: a 6-prong setting with tall, straight prongs (similar to the Tiffany style) and small claw tips. Instead, the ring was still not high enough, and the prongs were extremely thick--both from the top and side view--which completely took away from the beauty of the diamond. At that point, I was honestly so frustrated and ready to give up. But I remembered how positive my initial experience at Jangmi was, so I decided to reach out and ask if they could reset my ring. Even though the previous jeweler was willing to keep making changes for free, I didn't feel comfortable going back. I would much rather pay for something done right. And I am SO glad I did. Jangmi had the exact design I had been envisioning all along. Mrs. Kim was incredibly patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. She had a wax model made for me to try on before finalizing the ring, which made such a huge difference. Seeing and wearing the design in person gave me so much confidence--honestly, I preferred this so much more than just looking at CAD images, which can be hard to interpret if you're not in the industry. Within just two weeks, my ring was exactly what I had dreamed of from the start. The craftsmanship, the proportions, the setting--everything was perfect. My biggest regret is not coming to Jangmi Jewelry from the beginning. But one thing I can promise is that I will absolutely be coming back here for my wedding bands. If you're even thinking about going here--just do it. You won't regret it!

I was greeted immediately by the front desk receceptionist who smiled and buzzed me in to their private office in the back. I always say the first impression counts because you only get one chance to impress someone. The staff in the back was cordial and attentive. Immediately, one of the young ladies asked me what I was searching for and I mentioned I wanted a round solitaire pendant with a white gold chain. There were so many beautiful diamonds that I glanced upon, that I wished I could've been shopping for myself but I was there for one purpose only and that was to buy a beautiful gift for my best friend. I had been to their website prior to visiting their store and snapped some pictures of what I liked and of the prices that was within my budget. Unfortunately for me, those prices that were depicted on their website were not valid now. Those were prices from years ago and one of the owners told me that they didn't have staff that could update their webpage since I had mentioned that someone should've updated their website so that no one would be confused or disappointed once they travel to their store location. However since I was already there, I decided to at least see what I would be able to afford within my budget on the pieces I was looking forward to, but none of them was within my budget. I did ask for their business card and also a notation of the item I was interested in so that if I do return, I will have a written note of what I had seen today during my first visit at I.D. Jewelry. I can say that all the diamonds that I saw today were exquisite and the staff that attended to me had exemplary customer service skills which means a lot to me when I am treated kindly and respectfully even though I didn't purchase anything, the staff welcomed me back as well as gave me a smile upon leaving. To me those actions taken by their staff and the owner speaks volumes about their character as well as the quality of services they provide to everyone that enters their store. I look forward to returning in the near future knowing that I will be treated with respect and like family plus purchasing top quality genuine diamonds that I won't hesitate to buy from.
