    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.

    What is the price range for a ring resize?

    As much as I wish it was a simple answer, it really is difficult to answer. It usually depends on the size of the ring, level of work required, weight, gold quality, etc. With that said, I can promise you that our prices today and always, are very… Read more

I brought in a watch to Eric, and awaited an estimate. When I came back to pick up the watch (deciding to instead have it serviced by another watchmaker), he claimed there was a misunderstanding, and that he serviced the watch anyway, so I paid for the service. Lo and behold, the watch was still having the same issues, and I questioned if he really serviced it or not. He yelled at me and told me it absolutely was, and that he can't make any watch run perfectly. I then brought the watch to another watchmaker, who said he was confident the watch had not been serviced--it was bone dry, clearly not lubricated, and he could see the specific gears that were grinding up against each other. When I brought this to Eric's attention, he yelled at me again, and said that other watchmakers aren't trustworthy because they're trying to steal his business. Eric is the type of proprietor who helps give the Diamond District its bad reputation. He is not a watchmaker, has no clue what he's talking about, and if you try to question him, he yells at you and tries to belittle you.
