Josh is unbelievably knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. Before going to see him we were…read moreworking with a different jeweler and we were just not thrilled with her selection. We decided to keep looking and found Josh's website and made an appointment. We could tell the difference right away when we walked into his office. Everything was brightly lit so we could see exactly what we were looking at (the other jeweler had moody lighting in the store and it was hard to get a good look at the stones!). He really listened to what we wanted to see and gave us a great selection of stones to look at. He showed us the inside of each stone with a loupe and explained everything so that we knew what we were looking at. We both had the impression, right away, that he just wanted us to be happy with the purchase and that he wanted it to be 100% right for us. Absolutely everything he showed us took my breath away, which also made me realize that a really beautiful diamond does not have to be huge, if just needs to be the proper cut, color, and clarity to be balanced and beautiful. My boyfriend and I were thrilled with his selection. Josh knows diamonds and will not show you one that he is not proud of, not matter your price range. He is a "no-pressure" guy who is extremely professional. After a few meetings with Josh we felt confident that we were getting a superior diamond for a very fair price. We will certainly be going back to Josh for any future diamond purchases!

Shop around and then go see (or just talk to) Josh. I'll bet that you go with his diamond or…read morejewelery. A pleasure to do business with.

Stuart is an artist and a master of his craft!…read more My wife had bought me a ring from Stuart years ago which I loved: it was the most comfortable jewelry I'd ever worn, due to the unique non-round finger shape. When we decided to get new wedding bands it *had* to be from Stuart. We made an appointment and met him at his exhibition space: we looked through his existing designs with him and found aspects of two different rings that we liked: he described combining them into the perfect rings made just for us. We even got to choose the metal! A couple of weeks later, he called us in and we tried them on - perfect fits and they're even beautiful than we'd envisioned! This is the top tier of jewelry. My father was a jeweler, I grew up exposed to enough of the trade to recognize high quality: Stuart and his work are top-notch! My dad would have been proud to make these rings and he'd be glad that we went to such a superior craftsman!

When I stopped into Jewels by David Lloyd I got so much more than I expected. I found a jeweler…read morethat was not only honest trustworthy and knowledgeable but David is also passionate about his craft and his clients. I found a jeweler for life. It has been over a year since I walked through his door and I still wake up every morning and love the beautiful creation on my finger and to this day still get compliments on what a beautiful wedding ring set I have. I had been searching all over the island for the "perfect" wedding ring set. I had the perfect diamond in a setting that I liked for all of 2 weeks although it had sat on my finger for more than 8 years. This perfect 2.5 carat, 8 sided diamond, with 88 facets sat in a weak tulip setting that I allowed a jeweler to talk me into and I was determined to not let that happen again. I had an idea of what I wanted and I set out on my search. My fiancé and I hit every major jewelry chain on Long Island and they all had the same type selection and ALL tried to get me to settle for what they had in their display case. Some had even refused to set my diamond in one of their settings and suggested I just buy what they had to replace my near flawless diamond. With 20 days left before I had to leave on my wedding cruise, I decided to stop into that little jewelers next to the Whole Foods in Jericho. I had always wanted to check it out and I figured I was going to have settle again so it wouldn't hurt. I was greeted with warm genuine smiles from David and his staff. I told them what I was looking for and although they had beautiful things that could be modified to be close to what I wanted, nothing was exactly what I was looking for. Then he said the most amazing thing to me. "I can see you are not happy. Why don't we just make it?" And he did. I drew what I wanted on a piece of paper. He took measurements of my diamond, redrew what I had with measurements to give it scale and proper dimension and within an hour my vision was on paper and becoming a reality. He had less than 3 weeks and worked with his team around the clock to create a mold, cast the ring, find 12 perfect diamonds to go with my solitaire, make sure it fit my finger and set my diamond into it, and rhodium plate it. There were many nights (way after the store was closed) that we texted back and forth the work out the details to make sure he was creating what I wanted. David did not want me to settle. It was clear that client satisfaction is his priority and he is truly passionate about his craft. He never charged me a dime extra for his late nights and completed this set for less than a ready-made set at the big chain retailers. When the day came and my ring was complete, it was the most beautiful set I had ever seen. It was better than what I envisioned. We named the rings, The Geslani set, after my new married name. I am stopped by random people who comment on my rings all the time. It has a "peek-a-boo" feature built in where the diamond placed on the side of the wedding band can been seen through the engagement ring. Each of the diamond tips in the channel setting, can also be seen through a side opening of the wedding band. This thing sparkles for miles! Thank you David for your commitment to excellence.

We have been sending the spec sheet we got from one studio to different studios to get quotes, including Leon. He responded to our inquiry with an extremely long and detailed mockery of our request and didn't seem to even understand what specs are/what we were asking, here is the first paragraph: "Guys, Thank you for the amusing email! Could you please ask Stewie Griffin to use his time machine and travel back to approximately the year 1500? Once there, kindly proceed directly to Florence, locate Leonardo da Vinci, and film him reading the text below aloud. Greatly appreciated! Leon" He went on to attach a spec sheet for a painting of the Mona Lisa. I think he's just an asshole who was trying to be funny (he failed lol bc wtf) but also clearly is someone who operates his business with a blatant disrespect for his clients and who does not take this meaningful life event seriously. I would encourage everyone to find an actually legitimate, professional jeweler who understands the industry...not this absolute weirdo.

I had just a basic idea of what I wanted to do but needed a lot of assistance to reach the final product. JP was very patient, helpful, and knowledgeable about all of the products and options.

The whole diamond selection process can be a bit daunting, but not only did the final product fall within my budget, it was bigger and better than I expected. I was so pleased with the experience that I had them make my wedding bands, a diamond eternity band, and a necklace for my stepdaughter as well.
