Hands down the best experience working with Nancy and David. They sourced a few uniquely cut…read morediamonds I had my heart set on that other jewelers quoted me insane prices just to find. While I understand the other jewelers have a very different business model, the choice on who to trust with my ring with was easy to make. They were incredibly helpful and when I asked if I should go bigger on my diamond, sweet Nancy told me not to because of my hand size. The team operates with so much integrity and Nancy was absolutely right, I LOVE the size of the diamonds I chose and this ring is a dream (and was much more affordable than I anticipated). In the middle of this whole process I also got my great aunts ruby ring reset in the original setting my mom inherited. They did this in one afternoon and charged $200 less than I was quoted elsewhere. I have a hobby of buying loose diamonds at auction and plan to have them all set into jewelry here because of the fantastic service and excellent work they do. I recommend anyone who asks me about my ring to look into David Levi and Sons. I also had so much fun looking at all the other beautiful rings they have displayed and wandering around the whole building.

This jeweler is absolutely amazing! When my grandma passed away, he helped tremendously. He…read moreappraised/purchased pieces that were not sentimental, and then helped with a custom project where we used a set of her pearls to create pearl jewelry for each of her grandchildren. He had great recommendations for what to create and we felt we got the best use possible out of the strand of pearls that otherwise no one wanted (she had a few strands). Each piece is GORGEOUS and all the grandkids were touched and happy with the result. Fair pricing too. He is also super patient and he and his staff are great at answering questions. I've also bought a few other pieces from here over the years and it never disappoints. Just the best experience from custom jewelry to what they have in stock. Couldn't recommend them more. If I could give 10 stars I would!

I did some research then I called them at the end of the day yesterday. They were helpful on the phone and even texted me where they offer free parking. I came in this morning with a large suitcase of items. Rosario led me into a private room and together we looked at each item. Nothing was rushed and she was very present and engaging. She educated me in the process of evaluating every piece. She pointed out important facts and welcomed all my questions. Then she walked me through the process of weighing, pricing, payment, and even explained what happens to what I'm giving to them. It was an incredibly enjoyable process, not longer than was comfortable, and I walked out with more money transferred into my bank than I had expected. I highly recommend them.

The owner, Kevin, was exceptional. Even his son courteously directed me to their free parking at 6th and E Street. The have a customer for life.

I decided it was time to upgrade from my college ring to something new. I also had my Grandfather's…read morehigh school ring, a ring my late mother had worn daily and some other random gold jewelry. I took them in with a few photos of things I'd seen and liked and asked for something unique to be created for me. Emmanuel was great. He offered suggestions and answered all my questions and created a work of art. I'm very pleased with the new ring and gladly recommend him to others.

Very unprofessional and a cheat! I had several experiences with this Jeweler and all negative…read more First he damaged my stone, he supposed to remove my stone from a setting, he cut the prongs and in process made a little cut on my stone which he tried to blame on someone else and the damage already being there. Then he tried to keep the prongs (as if it's just gold dust) while he returned my prongs after me asking for them, he still managed to keep prongs from another piece of jewelry that I forgot he cut prongs from as well. On another occasion, I sold a piece of jewelry and the buyer wanted to have a Jeweler verify that it's gold and he told this Jeweler that he will give him $10 just confirm that it is gold, and he rudely kept rushing us out of the store while gladly took the money , and that is considering I went to him on several occasions to verify gold pieces and always paid him for his time which probably was the easiest and fastest money he ever made. While all of these experiences were negative, especially him damaging an expensive gem, I think the worst was, him keeping a prong which was significant amount of gold. Any honest Jeweler would return even the smallest piece , so I don't know why this guy thinks it's ok to keep a big chunk like that and he anticipated to keep even more had I not asked for other pieces. Unfortunately I didn't realise about that piece that he kept until much later, at which point I thought it was too late going back to ask for it.
