They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, offered thoughtful guidance and suggestions throughout the process, and helped me turn the idea in my head into the perfect ring. What really sets Saray Jewelry apart is how involved and personalized the entire experience is. They walked me through every step of the process from CAD design, to 3D print, to picking out the stones, and to refining and making the finished product. Being able to see and hold a 3D version of the ring before it was made gave me so much confidence in the final design. The finished ring exceeded my expectations and my fiance absolutely loved it. Ara and Hosep are true professionals! I can't recommend them enough.

First off, I had to check a few times to be sure that I was reading the reviews of the correct…read moreJeweler... I can't believe the three lukewarm reviews these guys received! Honestly, I can't account for their experiences but I will remind that for the most part people are more apt to post bad experiences on yelp than good ones. That may explain things.. I suppose. That being said: I came to Kravit Jewelers by a recommendation from my brother, who also purchased an engagement ring there years back. He became friendly with the owner, Benny, and advised me to check the place out, and so I did. (It wasn't until recently that my brother reminded me this actually wasn't my first visit to Kravit Jewelers - when I was in my very early 20's I bought a diamond cross necklace for my now-fiancé whom I had just met then - funny/small world!) So this was all new to me. I knew exactly nothing about anything ring-related, like most guys out there. Benny and his associate Val both spent several hours on multiple visits educating my fiancé and myself about the process. In addition, they showed us many stones which helped us decide on the perfect one. There was no hard-sale here like I experienced at another jeweler (who "forgot" what my budget was, and showed us $30K+ stones... come on...). In fact, the first stone my fiancé liked was an amazing deal. However it was I who actually pushed Benny to go a bit more upscale on the stone. When does that ever happen?! No hard-sale here, not one bit. You are your own man and you get to control the situation - I liked that. The setting Suzanne wanted was one she saw online. She knew exactly what she wanted, as most women do, and it was my Benny's job to make sure she got that (gulp). Armed with a cell-phone picture and video of the desired setting, we visited Val once again. He went over materials to be used (and again, didn't up-sell or pretend that Platinum is better or whatever). He basically laid out the pro's and cons of each metal, more like a geologist would rather than a salesman. Again, a big plus. Within the week, Val had a 3D print of the setting for us to see, along with the actual stone we had chosen to match it up with. Suzanne was able to try on the ring before we even had it - amazing. As the weeks passed, our vacation date had been approaching. I had planned on just going away to Florida for a few days, never thinking that I would be done with the seemingly arduous process of ring-shopping, but now it looked very possible that I would have the ring done on time for our trip. Again, Val pulled through, getting the ring done just a day before the trip. He hit it spot-on the first try, with NOTHING that needed work or fixing. I couldn't believe it. Instead of having to trek all over creation to find a stone and setting (or deal with Manhattan diamond district and all of it's annoyances) I was literally going to be done after only having to go check out two places (Kravit for the purchase and a place in Huntington for comparison of what up-selling salespeople can be like). And to top it off, I'd be able to propose on our vacation (after telling Suzanne the ring wouldn't be ready for another few weeks, because it had to be custom made - pretty believable!) So off we went to sunny Florida, me hiding the perfect ring with the best calm and collectiveness I could muster. I took Suzanne flying in a small plane that I rented at a local Clearwater airport, and at 2500 feet over the sandy shores of Clearwater Beach I became the happiest pilot alive. Because Benny delivered an excellent product for a more than reasonable price - and did it when I needed it - and flawlessly, I was able to see through what has easily become the best and most memorable day of my life. Big thanks to Benny, Val, and the rest of the crew at Kravit Jewelers. You can't go wrong here. Don't let the other reviews scare you - I am more than happy with our experience. He really took the pain and uncertainty out of buying a diamond. His stones are GIA certified and he will not let you leave his store without getting an insurance policy for the jewelry (this is very important to have, and I can't understand why some people cheap out on this).

Finally! Welcome to my Pandora charm buying headquarters...Leder's Jewelers…read more Did you know that if you buy Pandora Jewelry on-line from a third party site, you have to pay for the little cardboard box, signature burgundy tissue paper and the sticker? Well, the answer is yes. So I decided to do the smart thing, shop local. I bought my bracelet at another local jewelry store, but was far from WOW-ed there. The employees at Leder's, actually spent time with me. I had an idea of what I wanted, which made it a bit easier. Buying Pandora charms, takes some looking. A patient jeweler, allows you that. Seriously, Leder's Jewelers, had quantity and beyond small business hospitality, during my holiday shopping. I have been here now, several times and each and every time, I am treated with the utmost customer service. It seems everyone and their mom has a Pandora bracelet...and now mine does! I got her the holiday gift box which Leder's had plenty of. It came with a Pandora clasp bracelet, the "Black Friday" present charm and two spacers. It was a great start and a deal all for $200. The sales woman made sure she checked and fitted my mom's wrist. She even personally gift wrapped the box. It was a great experience. Like most jewelry stores, you need to ring a bell to get in. The store itself is long with a view into the back behind the counters to see where the jewelers do their "jeweling." Everything inside shimmers, and shines. The jewelery is set into stations by their designer brand. They offer the newest Pandora Jewelry catalogs on the counter so you can bring it home and start your wish list. If you ask they will clean your bracelet or you can have it steam cleaned for free (which takes an hour.) The time before last, the salesman I had actually suggested similar charms as I pointed to one and said "Can I see that charm?" He also pointed out the newest charms which was cool because sometimes looking down into the sea of silver and gold, they can all start looking alike. I can't wait to go back and get more charms. My wishlist is up to like 10 pages! Time to make a trip to Leder's!
