"David Stern is a phenomenal gemologist and master artisan. He took on a complex heirloom reconstruction for me--splitting an old brooch into a custom diamond band and a beautifully weighted, freeform platinum pendant. His pricing was both incredibly fair and generous given the extensive labor involved. He prioritized the security of my gemstones and problem-solved complex metal issues effortlessly. Outstanding customer care and true old-school integrity!" I am beyond grateful and these beautiful pieces will last generations! read more

David was very helpful in finding exactly what my wife Elisabeth was looking for in a clear quality diamond ring. As my wife is a true princess, grand daughter to the Sultan in Indonesia, she has been raised to have a keen eye for fine jewelry. David Stern Jewelers has found a new lifetime customer. Thanks David. read more

I had to get a ring removed before surgery, and then repaired. When I collected the ring, I took the opportunity to sell some unused pieces and get an appraisal of my remaining jewelry. David was very knowledgeable. He gave me a good price for the jewelry I sold and a fair value for the insurance appraisal. I will return if I have any future jewelry needs. read more

I did not know what to expect going in for some appraisals. What I found is a real professional. He does everything right in front of you so no worries. He could not have been better. I would not even consider going any where else. Top Notch and very fair read more

We were new to Florida and looking for great jeweler. A friend recommended David Stern. I wanted to redo my diamond ring. He was so kind and so patient with me . After 3 visits we (he) put together a fabulous ring, that I am so proud to wear. Thank you David Stern. read more

Wanted to get my ring size and see a few rings but instead I was met by a bitter old man. he kept getting annoyed at every simple question. For example my mom asked him "do you have any five quarter rings?" This rude man turned to her all wide eyed like she asked him the most absurd question, he replied with a stern no. The only nice approachable thing there is unfortunately the dog that will come running to ur feet as soon as you walk in. I would never recommend this place find anywhere else to get jewelry read more

I highly recommend David Stern Jewlers. David Stern is a very knowledgeable and very fair. I went in for an appraisal, a repair And also to set An old stone in a new setting. I will definitely going back for any future jewelry purchases, or repairs. He was very genuine read more

Walked in to David's store with multiple random jewelry pieces. Dave examined these multiple items.. David offered right around $600. This was a little bit low.... David said you're welcome to go elsewhere "of course". So I went to international diamond exchange in Boynton Beach with these same items. Some of david's claims stated 2 items to be of a lower caret, international diamonds Center stated they were higher. Walked out of international exchange with $1256.00 for the same items that David offered us $600 for. Of course it's not life-changing money, but it was worth the extra to shop around. The power of the Yelp at your service. Moral of this comment is shop around just like David told me. read more

I just came from the store and David is amazing! He spent 3 hours with me to discuss designing a piece. He was so patient sans had amazing taste. We can't wait to pick up So I picked my jewelry up and thrilled is putting it mildly. It was an amazing experience. David took his time with me even showing me how to clean the Jewler's and put in my necklace. The jewelry was customized with my husband and son's birthstones. Here is a picture of the ring. To top it off he called me on Saturday to see if I was happy. I will only go to him!! read more

David Stern Jewelers - My ring with my husband and son and my birthstones - Jewelry Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

We went to see David about a new jewelry purchase we made. We choose David for the reviews he has received. My wife and I could not be happier. David was patient answering all our questions and his advice was spot on. This is a man of integrity and we would recommend David just based on his knowledge and demeanor. We received a new appraisal within 15 minutes and the cost was reasonable as expected. read more

A very energetic and humorous character, David is welcoming and gracious. He took time to assess and give me detailed advice about a pile of really minimum value old gold trinkets I brought in, made a call about a Tiffany watch he didn't want to undervalue, and was honest about items he couldn't service. Almost disconcerting in his level of unassuming realism...the opposite of a salesman. Nice guy, funny as heck. read more

Worst jewelry experience I have ever had: I saw David Stern's great reviews online and decided to trust him with making a custom engagement ring in platinum. However, my experience with him was the exact opposite of what the online reviews showed. I called David and asked if he could do a custom order to be delivered two weeks after our call. He agreed and I paid him up front over the phone. Below is what followed: I texted David Stern a picture as a base idea for my custom engagement ring, to which I wanted to add a simple "hidden" or "secret" halo, visible only from the the sides and not from the top of the ring. I asked him to add a row of diamonds in between the pegs on the mounting of the ring, and he texted me a picture of a drawing confirming he knew almost exactly what I wanted. I informed him I did not want a basket Tulip-looking part included at the base of the ring mounting. David confirmed he understood. When I told him that a family member that was helping me with this process was concerned about his lack of professionalism and lack of clear drawing, he told me not to listen to that family member, and that only he knew what was best for me based on his experience. I trusted him, again based on the online reviews I saw, and did not disturb him so that he could work. I asked David if he could have the ring fully ready to have a diamond mounted in it 2 weeks after this consultation. He confirmed this timeline. I asked David to provide design & status updates, which he did not do. I asked David a day prior to my arriving in Boca to send me pictures, and he refused to send me anything, saying he wanted me to see it first in person to "avoid problems." The next day I came into his store on the agreed delivery date. He sat me down in his back office and gave many excuses before showing me the ring that he "made." I ordered it in full platinum, but he made the mounting out of 14K gold. The mounting design was also not at all what I ordered, and you can see in the pictures below how low-quality his work was (the squares he added to the ring were lopsided and not the same on all sides). NOT TO MENTION, almost none of the items David has listed on his website are his own - he orders them from a third party jewelry wholesaler. Do not be fooled into thinking most of his jewelry on his website is his own, as I was. I told David how upset I was and how unacceptable this was. He at first told me it wasn't a big deal and that he didn't have enough time (even though I confirmed a 2 week timeline many times), and that my design choices made no sense and were not what he would do. He insulted my choice of using platinum, saying that it looked and was cheaper than 18K gold. He also insulted the diamond I chose to set in the ring. The mounting itself wasn't sized properly for the diamond, even though I sent David the measurements of my diamond when we first spoke. After he gave up on trying to get me to accept the horrible ring he "created" for me, I offered David a second chance to make the order right out of good faith. David and I agreed that I would receive a proper custom ring "made from scratch" by next Friday in the mail, and that he would have it made on Saturday, and would send me pictures of it. Along came Sunday, and he began asking me about design questions again, indicating he had not even started on the ring. On Sunday, I respectfully asked for a refund. I asked for a check refund, as this was the simplest way for all parties to resolve the issue. He agreed, then called me later asking to do the refund over Zelle (electronically), to which I agreed. It ended up taking almost 6 days and a mediator to resolve the issue, as David was yelling at me over the phone and swearing, blaming me for the difficulties he had in issuing the refund. read more

I had found David Stern jewelers through a google search and decided to go in to speak to David. I wanted to make two custom necklaces using old pieces of jewelry that had sentimental value but were just sitting in a jewelry box. David did an amazing job customizing the pieces.

THE BEST! This is the third time I've purchased / done business with David Stern and first time writing a review and we couldn't be happier. Thank you guys for all you do. My wife picked out a beautiful push present and had it custom ordered to her liking. I brought in a family heirloom broken ring to be fitted and fixed and cleaned and David's top priority was my 100% satisfaction and he delivered. Pricing is super competitive and up-front, no surprises later. The New Years sale was really a blessing to us. 3 for 3 positive experiences. Thanks again! read more

I needed to update the appraisals on a number of my wife's pieces of jewelry and went to David to have it done as I've always preferred doing business with a local store rather than a chain. He was very thorough and took the time to discuss each piece as he examined them. It was nice to deal with someone this personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in my business. I had the opportunity to look around the store after we finished and he had a nice selection of estate and jewelry and pieces he designed himself. Unfortunately for me one piece was so nice I ended up buying it for my wife and he priced it at what I felt was very fair. I look forward to doing business with him in the future. read more

I had a custom piece made for my wife after she lost her mother. David was incredibly compassionate and helped me design a stunning piece. He searched for weeks for the perfect stones and worked meticulously on my piece. At he end he poured grains of soil from mom's burial site into the piece. If you want a truly special jeweler, this is the place. read more

I recently went to David Stern Jewelers to have an appraisal of a diamond pendant for insurance purposes. I spoke to him prior to visiting his store and he told me how much he charged. When I arrived at the store and saw the pendant, his price went up dramatically and he told me, the charge is dependent on the size of the stone. I have had lots of jewelry appraised and have always paid the same amount for the appraisal, as it takes the same amount of time, no matter what the size of the stone. I would NEVER recommend him. read more

I lost the diamond in my custom designed wedding ring when the setting prongs became loose without me realizing. I was beyond heartbroken and sad and it actually took me 4 years to look for a jeweler that I could trust to help me. My original setting was too high and I thought I would have to have the ring completely redesigned. After a diligent search , I found David Stern Jewelers. David was very welcoming and entering his store felt more like visiting an old friend than a stuffy, uptight establishment that most jewelry stores feel like (to me, anyway). David assured me that we could lower the setting and he had a beautiful pear shaped diamond that fit perfectly. And, amazingly enough, he had the new diamond in the new setting within 3 hours! I'm so happy that I walked into that little "gem" of a store and met David! He's the real deal! read more

I came here to replace my girlfriend's necklace that was snapped accidentally. David not only gave me a better chain for a fair price, but cleaned the pendant and diamonds that went with the old chain. I'd definitely go back for bigger purchases! read more

David is the person behind the the name. I know that doesn't seem like it really matters, but in today's internet world of business it is always a good thing to know you are working with someone that knows their stuff and is not just some website. David Stern Jewelry did several appraisals for me and his honesty and fact driven report helped me to understand the value of my jewelry. I was able to insure item before I had a loss. Good thing though, because without the appraisal and listing the items, I would not have been covered otherwise. In addition to the apparels I have had David help me sell some of my items getting a better price the another place I went. Going to a pawn store is a stupid way to do that if you want a fair price. One bit of warning about selling items... go to someone that will be honest like this company. There are a lot of people out there you can't trust, but David, the person behind the store name, lol is one you can. I hope this review helps you know what I know. Thank you David for the help and good work. read more

I went to the business for a jewelry appraisal. I was told my item was fake. I found out later it was not. He also handled my jewelry very improperly. He tried to take my jewelry to another area. I told him forget it. I don't recommend him. I will never use him again. read more

David Stern is the finest jeweler around. Not only does he deal in fabulous merchandise, but he is a one of a kind designer that can make anything you want come to life. He has made numerous pieces for my wife for me including a 15th Anniversary Wedding band for her which is circular and two-tiered covered in diamond chips. It is stunning. He has also made my wife a butterfly finger ring out of diamond chips and gold. It is beautiful and looks awesome on my wife's hand. He is currently working on a piece for my wife that she brought him. She collect's precious gemstones and he is going to reinforce it in a silver/rhodium lining and attach chakra stones to make it more powerful and one of a kid. If you want to see pictures of his work feel free to email me at bocabrett@aol.com and I will send them to you. Do not shop for or trust your precious jewelry with anyone else but David Stern. He is honest, creative, and deals in fair prices. read more

I walked into this jewelry store looking to get links taken off my ankle bracelet because I thought it was too big. He was funny and very welcoming and ready to listen and give a solution. Instead of taking my money he advised that my anklet fit me just fine and to give it a week and if I still wanted to make it smaller he'd be happy to help. Thank you! read more

David Stern is a very intelligent and professional man to do business with. We needed a stone replaced for an engagement ring, and he went above and beyond our request. He exceeded our expectations when we asked for an appraisal and he was able to inspect the ring right in front of us, without hiding any information. He was completely up-front and honest, which is hard to find these days. I am hoping to do more business with him in the future. You can check out his websites at: http://bocaratonjewelers.com/ and https://bocaratonjewelers.jewelershowcase.com/ read more

Trust. End of review. It's really that simple. I've used them a couple times and have always been 100% satisfied. Both times they grade my daimond with me before and after the service to ensure that I have the correct diamond back in my hands. Recently I had a bent prong and they fixed and cleaned my ring with no charge. They also design custom pieces and the their existing inventory is gorgeous! Trust. read more

I loved my experience with David! My engagement ring had been given to my husband through a string of people so we didn't know much about it. I came into David's jewelry shop to get some answers about it. David sat down with me and patiently answered all of my questions, told me more about the ring, and even cleaned my ring. He didn't even end up charging me! I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back for all of my future jewelry needs :) read more

David saved me!!! I came in practically in tears thinking my new ring, bought elsewhere, may be a fake, and he quickly re-assured me everything was peachy keen and it had some residue all around it that was causing the gem to look differently. He was so warm, personable, and professional. I appreciated his expertise and kindness. He truly cares for his customers. The appraisal was a fair price and he provided me with lots of education on different items. He also had a beautiful selection of colored gems and unique estate items. I definitely recommend visiting for your needs. read more

Although writing a testimonial and supportive review is not something I often do, there are a handful of special moments in one's life when you encounter a service, product or company that thoroughly exceeds your expectations. So very much so, and in every capacity, that you feel as though you'd be remiss if you didn't share your wonderful experience with the world. THIS is one of those times! I am a REAL CUSTOMER and this is my unsolicited story. I respectfully encourage you to read on. After conducting a fair amount of Due Diligence and reading the reviews about reputable Jewelers -- just as you're probably doing right now -- I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased with the expert guidance, creativity and fair-priced service that I received at David Stern Jewelers. My first encounter with David Stern was by telephone, and within just a couple of minutes or so, after I had explained the nature of my multiple inquiries, I was convinced that my search efforts had paid off and that I'd truly found the right guy! I made an appointment to visit with David that afternoon and was later greeted by David at the door. His outright friendliness was candidly warm, personable and very down-to-earth. This put me at ease right away and we went into his office for a personal consultation. I explained that subsequent to my Mom's recent passing, my brother and I had inherited her fairly extensive collection of all kinds of jewelry ... it included a mixture of diamond pieces, white & yellow gold bracelets, necklaces, rings, pins -- both Vintage and Current -- along with many pieces of costume jewelry. This entire collection would, at a later date, be fully evaluated, assessed and render a proposed cash offer. Among other things, I first wanted to repurpose the diamonds from two of my Mother's rings to create a one-of-a-kind Engagement Ring for my very deserving Fiancée. Like a couple of old friends working together, I described to David what I was looking for and, on very short order, David came up with a basic sketch rendering. It incorporated several sentimental stones from both of my Mom's rings ... David's creative vision for this finely crafted piece was amazing! Truthfully, ten days later when I picked up the finished ring, I was blown away by its exquisite and gleaming design ... so was everyone else, especially my Fiancée ... when I proposed!! It was a custom creation from the ground-up that only someone with David Stern's talent could precisely fabricate. Since the purchase of that beautiful ring, I've been back to see David several times. Each time, he insists on cleaning and polishing whatever pieces of jewelry I/we happen to have (routinely Free-of-Charge) and we're always greeted like "Family". Our most recent appointment was a three-hour Cost-Free consultation to appraise and assess our Mother's entire collection of jewelry. We selected a few pieces that we wanted to keep in the family, and then decided to accept David's generously-fair Cash-Offer for the remaining pieces. I can honestly say that when it comes to Jewelry, you won't find a nicer, more-qualified, pleasant, genuine, knowledgeable, trustworthy, considerate and fair-minded person than David Stern. You simply cannot go wrong with a guy like this and I can't think of a single reason to shop for jewelry anywhere else! David B. Boca Raton, Florida read more

I had an amazing experience at David Stern Jewelers. My fiancé and I went on a friend's recommendation and we couldn't be happier. David worked very closely with me in designing the most beautiful wedding band ever! He's an extremely creative and talented jewelry designer and he has the patience of a saint! I'm not allowed to wear my ring until after our nuptials but I will definitely be posting photos! read more

We had gone to David Stern to get my wife's ring re-sized. Instead of having to leave the jewelry, we were able to wait. Aside from instant service, the pricing for this service was more than fair. David is not only a gentleman, he is quite knowledgeable and, more importantly in this type of business, very honorable. We are now David Stern's customers for life. read more
