The ring!
Mike B.

We've lived near each other our whole lives but never knew it! She went to school with some of my cousins and mutual friends but we had never met or even heard of each other. Fast forward to 3 years ago (May is our anniversary), we were both single and looking for that special someone to spend the rest of our lives with. We met on a dating app (Coffee Meets Bagel) and started talking. Pretty much from the moment we started chatting there hasn't been a single day that we haven't spoken to each other. After a few weeks (I'm a bit slow and shy sometimes) I asked her on a date, we decided on Dave & Busters. She loves to play games and is very competitive so it was a perfect place for a first date! I beat her at air hockey several times, and remain undefeated to this day. She beat me at axe throwing and continues to be better than me at it to my chagrin. We play games on our iphones together all the time! Well we kissed that first night and the rest is history. It's been 3 years now and I decided sometime last year I was ready to pop the question. I began researching rings, I love to research everything before I buy. I was so annoyed with the big box retailers and their insane markups. I was getting tired of finding online retailers that either had diamonds for a good price but the ring was crazy expensive, or vice versa. I came across Friendly Diamonds and they had both for very reasonable prices! Plus the ring design selections were amazing. I pulled the trigger and bought the exact ring she wanted. Only hours after ordering it I was contacted by customer service and they offered me a bigger diamond with even better color for free! I of course said yes. For our anniversary last year we were at the river (Parker, AZ) and took a picture on my friend's boat in front of the Parker dam. It was so magical that I wanted to ask her in that same spot. The river is her "happy place". So last Saturday, 4/19/25, we were at the river with some friends and I did exactly that!

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!

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

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!

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.

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!!!

If you have a priceless family heirloom or a piece of fine jewelry that requires absolute perfection, J Patch Designs by Karen is the only place in New York City you should trust. I brought in my late father's century-old, solid gold Masonic ring to be resized up to fit my finger. Because the ring features an incredibly delicate, heat-sensitive vintage black onyx stone, a standard jeweler's torch could have easily cracked it. Cliff looked over the piece and immediately guaranteed he would execute a specialized, high-tech precision laser weld.Not only did he resize the thick band flawlessly with an invisible seam, but he also performed an absolutely razor-sharp, custom one-line laser engraving inside the shank to commemorate my own Master Mason milestone (MM 5-2-81). The mirror-polish finish he delivered brought the historic gold back to its full, brilliant glory without losing any of its vintage character. To top off an already perfect experience, the customer service was warm, honest, and completely professional. Cliff even walked me through the care process and provided a complimentary bottle of liquid jewelry cleaner. As a high-volume content creator reviewer with over 16 + million views , I inspect businesses with a very strict eye--and J Patch Designs easily earns the highest recommendation possible. Thank you, Cliff and Karen, for treating my family's history with such immense respect! You made my day!!! Once again thank you!! I normally don't give 5 Stars.

With I could give them 10 stars!!!…read more I had an emergency situation where I needed diamonds set into a new setting plus needed it the same day! Asked around to all my contacts and did my Google and Yelp due diligence and I was referred to I. D. Jewelery without hesitation, even Google AI said go to them! First off it's a true family owned and operated business. And they treat you like family too (minus the drama) everyone was so warm and friendly. I first called and spoke to lovely Anna and she told me it was possible but to come in so their jeweler can take a look at it first. I got there around 11am and I told them my dilemma, Tammy and her team made me feel reassured all would work out and Yekutiel did not hesitate and got on the phone with his setter and told me to come back by 4:30. Mind. Freaking. Blown. They did a magnificent job of setting my diamonds into my new setting but they were also very impressed by the craftsmanship of my custom ring setting. Because it was an emergency situation, I was ready to pay over $1K for this service but the bill was not even close to that number. As the owner said, he is in the business of making people happy not price gauging his customers. The BEST in the jewelry business and I'm so looking forward to going back to get an actual custom piece made there very soon too!

The diamonds in the window delicately glisten as you walk by, and they invite you to try them on with the subtle whisper of their light. When I finally walked in, I knew this was the place for me. Lisa promptly asked me what I was specifically looking for. Her approach was warm, and she understood that one must find a pair or earrings that feel totally yourself. With Lisa's help, I chose the pearl and emerald stud earrings, a simple, classic piece with a little sparkle. Bianca Jewelers has been in business for over 50 years, and offers more than an opportunity for you to buy jewelry. It helps you find a piece that enhances and reflects your inner beauty. I'm thankful for Lisa's help, and highly recommend this jewelry business.

Absolutely obsessed with my ring…read more My fiancé and I stopped by in August to the lovely showroom. We were greeted by Nick. Nick was very friendly, personable, and patient. He let us try on multiple rings and look at various diamonds in our price range. I was happy to give the go ahead to my then boyfriend that this would be the jeweler I would like my ring from. The diamond and setting are beautiful! I can't stop staring. I cannot wait to go back and design our wedding bands. I will definitely continue to use them as a jeweler and recommend them to my friends and family. Best holiday season ever Brittney *also went back for our wedding bands and we absolutely love them.

Greg has seamlessly facilitated the purchase of diamonds even when we moved over 3 hours away from the City. MOST IMPORTANTLY, Greg is a person of integrity and honesty. My husband purchased my engagement ring from Greg and I recently knocked out a diamond. The local jeweler said the entire ring should be reset because of wear and tear with a cost of $2,000 for the rebuild. I wanted to have Greg repair it and sent it to him. He said that the damage was minor, and repaired it at no cost. I believe the local jeweler had untoward motives, and was fraudulently trying to bill me for a minor issue. I will not buy diamonds from anyone but GREG SAMELA and KENT JEWELERS!!!!
