    I had a good idea of the ring type and design she wanted. However, finding a jeweler with this ring already pre-made was so difficult. Then I found Friendly Diamonds, and when I say I was amazed by the service, professionalism, and overall results of the beautiful rock that sits on her finger (She still constantly gets compliments daily). I began the process by speaking with their design team and essentially creating this work of art from scratch. It was an amazing experience working with their team and the results were something I would not have been able to find anywhere else. I recommend Friendly Diamonds to everyone who asks, we will surely go back for all other jewelry needs we may have in the future (Custom Wedding Bands?).

    We're very happy with our online purchase from Friendly Diamonds! We wanted a 7 stone anniversary band to celebrate 7 years married and Christmas and loved the style that Friendly Diamonds had. We liked being able to customize the style with our preferred metal and total carat weight with a range of options, and that this style can be worn stacked with my wedding band and engagement ring, or solo on my right ring finger depending on what I'm feeling at the moment. I would have liked additional views of this style on the website - a direct side-on view would have been nice to see the setting well but we are happy with how it turned out. It's our first purchase of lab diamonds and we're really happy with the affordable and beautiful outcome. The ring was shipped out 2 days later than the original estimate due to holiday volumes, so not too bad, and its tracking info was accurate with the actual arrival date. It was shipped beautifully packaged in quite a larger box than we expected! We'd buy from Friendly Diamonds again in the future!

    We've been married for 36 years this December. One carat diamond stud earrings for Christmas was a great way to mark this occasion. Friendly Diamonds made this surprise gift so easy. Their customer service is top notch. I love and recommend this company.

    Beautiful ring. Great selection. Affordable prices. I looked for something unique and FD had it. I will continue to shop there for future purchases.

    Last Christmas I purchased a 4 carat diamond necklace for my girlfriend from Friendly Diamonds. When it arrived, it was absolutely beautiful, and she has been receiving compliments on it ever since. So this year, when deciding to buy her earrings, I went right back to Friendly Diamonds and purchased 4 carat diamond earrings (2 carats each), set in platinum, from them. They arrived today and are exquisite! AND, when the Amazon discount climbed from 6% to 10%, the company honored the change, and issued a $108 credit to me! I highly recommend Friendly Diamonds to anyone who wants a top quality product along with unbeatable customer service!

    The loose stone I received

    Spent a lot of time working on finding a dealer that could get me a loose diamond for an engagement ring and found Friendly Diamonds by chance. Buying through this firm was a breeze and I got the exact diamond I wanted. Talked to their Customer Service team prior via live chat on their site and asked a bunch of questions here and there about shipping, insurance, warranty, money-back guarantee, etc. Looked at their offerings against other competitors in their space within the Diamond District and of course the larger online brokers and Friendly just beat 'em out in almost every criteria I had. The stone came in a really nice little package - even better than the eventual ring I got from a custom maker sent me. Had it looked over after confirming the GIA cert and it all came back great. They're incredibly responsive and if you're looking to get a stone quickly and at stupid good competitive pricing, this is my recommendation and will be for all my friends or anyone I know looking to get diamonds for any occasion.

    I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect ring and let me tell you, Friendly Diamonds it's the perfect place to get your ring. Their customer service it's exceptional and very helpful. The rings are crafter to order and the quality is fantastic, all the details to it were beautiful. The diamond itself was gorgeous and my fiancé and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT.

    I chose an engagement ring and wedding band set from Friendly Diamonds on Rare Carat. The process was super easy, very informative, and the rings are beautiful. The Friendly Diamonds customer service was very attentive and kept me informed on the arrival date. It actually arrived earlier than estimated! There was a ton of information on the diamond including the cut, carat size, clarity, and more. The rings were shipped with additional insurance and required a signature. When the rings arrived, they were packaged nicely and very protected. I would 100% buy from Friendly Diamonds again!

    Can't be happier with an easy purchasing experience. She loves the setting I selected and is extremely happy with the diamond. Recommended!

    The Fire of Beautiful Diamonds!

    I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about creating my own diamond earrings but with the array of choices and the knowledgeable Customer Service, I was able to achieve my goal! The fire and quality of diamond earrings at a fraction of the cost of mined product. These earrings are exquisite! They were delivered timely and packaged with the utmost care. The same day I received these, I had my ears pierced. Now I do have to wait a few more weeks before I am able to wear them but that doesn't stop me from showcasing them at every opportunity! I am so happy I took this chance and wouldn't hesitate to do it again! Thank you Friendly Diamonds for everything!!!

    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!

From the moment we walked in, he took so much time to walk us through every detail, answering all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does and wants his customers to feel confident in their decisions. What really stood out was how valued he made my partner feel throughout the entire process--it wasn't just a transaction, it felt personal. On top of that, he gave us an extremely fair price that honestly exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping you find the perfect piece, Michael is your guy. Couldn't recommend him more.

Thank you so much for all your help! You've definitely gained a forever client! P.S. This was my first time working with them and I don't even live in NY. It was all based on trust, and I can honestly say I fully recommend them and trust them completely.

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.
