I Bought my wife's engagement Ring in 1990 from here. The most beautiful ring and reasonable price from any of the many stores I shopped in, I have gone back menu times over the years and with the help of John, Janet and Laura I've purchased many beautiful pieces of jewelry. They treat their customers like family. I would recommend them, and have, to anyone who asked me where to purchase fine jewelry. read more

I first went to John Sampieri, through the recommendation of several friends who created their engagement/wedding rings with them, back in 2013. John and his wife Janet are both from multi-generational jeweler families and they were so easy to talk to and discuss ideas with. John has GIA certification, and he and Janet took their time in throughly explaining the "three C's" that drive the price of diamonds. They took their time in showing us all possible ring settings, solitaire cuts, and options within a price range. Our candid conversations included all options of size and pricing of solitaires, and how we could get a larger, lesser-grade Diamond for the same value as a higher-grade smaller Diamond, to what metals were most suitable for our lifestyle. There wasn't once a moment of discomfort or pushiness that you might experience at other fine jewelry establishments. We came upon our perfect rings with the informed guidance of both Janet and John, and received all paperwork for our GIA-certified diamonds and appraisals with them. It was, beginning to end, a positive and happy experience that I am so appreciative of. I've now owned my wedding set for ten years (!) and while I'm not always careful with my jewelry (I would wear daily to work with kids), I've never had a Diamond loosen, fall out, or chip. I moved away from NYC and drove over and hour each way to have the white gold re-plated with rhodium, resized, and had small pieces of gold added within the engagement band to prevent it from turning side-to-side, since my fingers shrunk a little. I did not trust that another jeweler could do this with the care we've received here, and it was worth the drive. They are as perfect as the day we bought them ten years ago! We've referred many people since our first visit, with confidence. read more

John is the best! He can help you create something truly unique and bespoke without any financial pressure, and helps with educating you along the way. We walked in knowing nothing and he was happy to size our fingers, guide us, and immediately said that there was a ring for every single budget out there. We had browsed a few SoHo boutiques and jewelry stores where we were made to feel uncomfortable and pressured, with very cold sales people. J. Sampieri is full of warmth- feels like your family jeweler. We did not have a budget for a large diamond, but wanted something to cover enough surface area, so we looked at illusion heads. John had a very unique vintage illusion head he had purchased at an estate sale, and guided us in choosing a diamond to fit into the setting. We also used John for our wedding bands- simple gold bands but very comfortable and classic. We've since sent friends to use John for their own engagement experience and they've shared our sentiments. John was able to help kick off the most special time in our lives and we'll be using his services for future purchases in the years to come. read more

I went in during the busy holiday season to drop off a ring to be repaired. I was warmly greeted by John Sampieri and his friendly colleagues. They did the repair while I waited, and I could not imagine a better experience with a locally owned family business jeweler. The business has been in his family since 1912 I believe he mentioned. I highly recommend this jeweler to anyone seeking a repair ...or to buy a special occasion piece. They specialize in diamond jewelry and seem to do a lot of engagement and wedding/ anniversary type special pieces ( I went in the day before Christmas Eve so I was excited to hear about all the engagement ring orders and shipments.) Just a simple repair for me, but I found myself in such a nice gem of a shop I felt compelled to leave a review. Lovely people, warm vibes, if i ( hopefully!) find a reason to order a special occasion diamond in the future, I'll bring my business here. ( I'll also bring my future repairs. I've had multiple fine jewelry repairs at Tiffany's on Fifth -the main store, and I would choose this family run business over them next time because it feels more personal.) read more

My family has been going to John for years - more recently now since we've had some recent engagements - and he and his wife Janet are nothing but wonderful to work with! We have been pleased with all pieces we've purchased, as well as the quality of any repairs we've needed. We will continue to go to them for years to come! read more

I would like to preface this review with the fact that we turned down the option for a cheaper service in favor of coming to J Sampieri. We had been looking to get a vintage engagement ring resized and found a place in midtown that offered it at a fraction of the cost, but lacked any ounce of warmth (or effort to respond with a properly crafted sentence, for that matter). When I reached out to John, I could tell immediately that he really cared about his craft and his customers, and the other reviews speak to that as well. I knew then and there that we would be in good hands, so we made an appointment promptly. John was so personable and invested in making sure our needs were met; from the quick turnaround (less than an hour) to his genuine interest in helping us get ideas for a men's ring, we left feeling so good to have put our money and our trust in this family owned business. The ring came out looking like new and he even re-rounded one of my fiance's rings at no charge. This was yesterday and we have plans to return to create a custom piece this week. Go to the Sampieri family and you will not be disappointed - it's worth the slight upcharge for the level of care put in to what they do. read more

My family has been going to John and his family for years. He always has a great selection of jewelry and reasonable prices. Additionally never pressures you to buy anything, and most importantly is always honest and straightforward. In addition to the pieces they have online and in their shop, they can also work with you to customize something unique for a loved one. Whenever I have needed something for a special occasion they are the first place I turn to. Would definitely recommend them! read more

Janet & John are amazing to work with! We drive from Pa to buy our jewelry. They do impeccable work & custom designed many pieces of jewelry for my family members. We have used them for years and would never go anywhere else! They are trustworthy, honest and reliable! read more

Love these guys. Made buying the engagement ring so easy and educated me on things I thought I knew. Highly recommend you get your jewelry from here! Thanks John and Janet!!! read more

Jewelery where are there clothes in this pic I called for a price on grillz in white or yellow gold 10 to 14k

This is my first yelp review and no one deserves this more than John and Janet Sampieri. Almost seven years ago John and Janet designed my engagement ring. My now husband had a simple design in mind that involved various small diamonds in a celestial pattern on a thin band. We went to the diamond district first where the jewelers scoffed at us saying don't waste our time. We randomly found John and Janet because their store looked different than the rest - warm and inviting and pictures of smiling people adorning the walls. Janet heard us out and gently explained that the small diamonds that we wanted were not even graded which is the profit motive for many jewelers. She wasn't deterred, was charmed by our love story and helped us design the exact ring that we wanted. We never felt rushed and would often see repeat customers dropping by for custom jewelry and gifts for birthdays, christenings, push presents, etc. I wanted a phrase from a Robert Burns poem hand engraved on the inside my husband's wedding band. They found an expert who did an amazing job. I chose a plain micro pave wedding band to match my ring. To this day people compliment and ask me about my engagement ring to due to its unusual simple design. Fast forward to today...we have an energetic 11 month old and another on the way. I lost my wedding band so we went back to J Sampieri to get a replacement. The moment we walked in the door John gave us a big smile and asked a very specific question that showed that he remembered us from all those years ago. We placed the order for the ring and a short week later I found my wedding band. Since we are expecting another baby we're bit more stressed about finances these days and when I called John up to cancel the order he was very understanding and sent me a check right away. I cannot thank them enough for being lovely people. I highly recommend them and cannot imagine buying my jewelry from anyone else. read more

Excellent. Always great service. Unique pieces and great prices! Been going there for many generations now!

John and Janet are the very very best. You feel like family when you come in here. They will absolutely help get you to the perfect piece of jewelry (especially engagement/wedding rings) and get you something that is very high quality and at very very good prices. I literally fly in from out of state (CA and FL) to buy jewelry from John. John Sampieri gets you everything you want: quality and value. If you happen to visit when they have other customers, they are so personable that they still make you feel like you are their only customer, and they get you exactly what you want. I cannot vouch more or give higher accolades and recommendation to any other business. Not only have I made multiple big purchases here, I've directly recommended multiple out of state friends/acquaintances here and we ALL LOVE THIS SUPERIOR MULTI GENERATIONAL FAMILY RUN BUSINESS. Heck, one of the engagement rings I helped with was for my Navy buddy in Japan There are a lot of really good jewelers down in the Bowery. John Sampieri is the very best of them. I don't write a lot of online reviews, but feel compelled to tell you how good this place is. You won't be disappointed. read more

I just had the best experience at Sampieri jewelers. Janet and John the husband and wife team are a second generation family owned business. They were incredibly kind, patient and professional. Extremely knowledgeable and reasonable prices for top quality merchandise. Great people to deal with! They'll always have my business. 5 Stars! read more

Update: I came back to John because of how helpful he was when it was time to buy our wedding bands. Again he was incredibly helpful and you feel almost like you're visiting a family member that you'll have to give a little bit of money. Quick turn around time, exactly what we wanted, reasonable pricing, EXCEPTIONAL service. They also restored an antique silver pendant for me and I can't believe it - it looks like it's a different piece now. Incredible. read more

I bought an engagement ring more than 16 years ago. My plans didn't work out. I received a full refund in two parts. Long story short, I never cashed one of the checks($2400). I recently went to see John Jr. and he gave me a $2400 store credit for the cold check written by his dad all those years ago. It's nice to deal with a business and owner with integrity. I look forward to doing business with them in the future. Thanks John!!! read more

I research things, that's what I do. I scour the internet for every last detail about any purchase I make or place I go. When it came time to buy an engagement ring I knew it had to be perfect. After hours of reading reviews of jewerly stores around NYC I was feeling overwhelmed and about to call it quits and I happened upon a small post on Reddit raving about John Sampieri and his experience there. I said why not start with this place and see how it goes? I Took the (now) fiancee there to pick out different bands that she might like. John was extremely friendly and helpful along with the rest of his staff. Once we settled on which style my fiancee liked the most. We left and I said we'd probably be back. I came back 3 months later and now it was Diamond time! John helped me look through all the options he had available without pushing any certain type or style. He educated me on the differences and I picked the perfect one. Less than 2 weeks later the ring was ready. I came in to review it and John was his usual friendly self, asking me how i was going to pop the question and such. The ring was Perfect and I was extremely happy with how it turned out. My fiancee gets comments daily on how beautiful and unique her ring is! Thank you John and Team! read more

Beautiful one-of-a-kind jewelry at great prices. I never leave empty-handed when I go, whether I'm getting something for myself, or as a gift. John and his staff are helpful, courteous, and accommodating. Go for a visit - you'll be glad you did! read more

Never wrote a review before but wanted to share how awesome John and crew are! I went in to repair a necklace and the woman who I was talking to gave me all the details about what would happen with this specific type of chain if I were to repair it. Super helpful info, and John came by as well and took my necklace to be repaired and it took 5 min...at a ridiculously low cost! Prices are extremely fair and staff are super friendly. Will always come here for jewelry repair/jewelry shopping. Thanks John! read more

Janet and John I cannot begin to thank you so much for creating the most incredible wedding ring I have ever seen. My fiancé was beyond thrilled and I am so proud to have her wear it. It's stunning.... and all my friends cannot stop talking about it. Just wanted to say thanks so much for making the process super easy and fun!!! read more

Where do I start? Our relationship with the Sampieri family began with my grandfather over 50 years ago, then moved on to my father and now I am happy to say me. I called John (never met him) in a panic in the afternoon on Valentines Day (a busy day to say the least) and let him know that I was flying on a sporadic trip to NY to visit my then girlfriend as she was stuck in NY with snow. I was on a mission to propose that day and while I thought he would laugh at me, John did not. He took care of me right away and took time to speak with me and discuss our options. He made sure to provide me and my future fiance with a ring that was special and exactly what she wanted and we had envisioned for over a year. Simply put, John is the best and the Sampieri family goes above and beyond what you would begin to expect! Thanks John and team for making our valentines and for making us feel special. read more

Best jeweler in NYC. John is the diamond expert and Janet is the style guru. Couldn't be happier with them. We'll be coming back for our wedding bands! read more

My family as been going to John for decades. When I was finally in the market for a diamond, I knew I could trust John and Janet. They are diamond and jewelry experts willing to take the time to ensure you get exactly what you want. I have purchased several items from John throughout the years and continue to be pleased with his service and reliability. If you visit John for a diamond ring or another special occasion, I guarantee you will visit him again and that he'll remember you as soon as you walk in the door. read more

Amazing people with amazing service! Went here to get a necklace fixed and they went above and beyond...John is highly professional and very knowledgeable :) Would definitely recommend them and come back for other things in the future!! read more

John and Janet are the best. They pay such close attention to detail and really care about making their customers happy. They always have smiles on their faces and do whatever they can to help. We bought an engagement ring there and could not be happier. Highly recommend them! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about John and Janet. We live on Long Island and never mind making the trip into the city to work with them. My fiancé worked with John when picking out my engagement ring and he worked with him until he found the perfect stone. My engagement ring was perfect and exactly what I had envisioned (without actually being a part of that process). Once we got engaged, I needed the ring slightly smaller. Sizing it was a breeze and they had it finished (and cleaned) in no time. When it came time to do our wedding bands, there was no question that we'd be using J Sampieri. I wanted something somewhat unique and when my fiancé and I went to try on our wedding bands for the first time, I was speechless (which is rare for me). The amount of time, effort and care that went into making my wedding band was clearly evident. Their work is meticulous and John and Janet are true professionals and experts in what they do. Every time we leave their store, we feel like we are leaving old friends! Highly recommend them for any wedding related jewelry and beyond. Already thinking about a first anniversary gift :) read more

J Sampieri - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

I've visited J Sampieri a couple of times now to repair several jewelry pieces; I found them through yelp and could not be happier that I did. Their service is impeccable, as the other reviews mention, and they fixed with ease--and at such reasonable cost--what I thought might not be possible. The whole team is very helpful, and John himself is great; I chatted with him while waiting for a quick repair, and felt as though I was talking to a neighbor I had known for years. read more

The Sampieri's are amazing. We had custom work done as well as a purchase for a new wedding band. Their work, quality, and service is far superior than any other jeweler. Highly recommend using them. read more

The best in the business. Can't say enough good things like many other reviewers my family has been using them for generations. Repairs, buying pieces and cleaning them and always happy. I recently had a bracelet of a deceased relatives repaired and I can't think of anyone else I trust. Even fixed a clamp (I had no idea existed). Prices are always reasonable...check them out you'll have a great experience. Nicest people. read more

These guys are the best. I have purchased my wife's engagement ring, our wedding bands, and multiple other pieces. John jr. educates and puts you at ease, which is really great when it come to such important investments. Every year we visit our favorite jeweler! read more

John and his staff were super helpful and friendly. I came into the store to have a few pieces of jewelry repaired and ended up buying a pair of beautiful sapphire earrings for a Mother's Day gift for my mother. The repairs were extremely fast and were done by the time I had made my decision on which earrings to buy. Thanks for the beautiful earrings and fantastic customer service! read more

You can't find more honest business people then John Sampieri, I couldn't have found a better place to sell gold jewelery. He had the eye to recognize what had great sentimental value and little cash value and wouldn't take it. They also do great design work with old pieces read more

Excellent service. Modified an antique ring for me. Hands down, best jeweler I have ever dealt with. Do recommend.
