My experience with Garden State Jewelers was nothing short of outstanding from start to finish. I recently decided that I wanted to propose to my girlfriend and not knowing where to begin I went to the mall. I walked into one of the big chain retailers and the salesman tried to get me to buy one of their pre-designed, cookie cutter rings out of the display case. He told me that they didn't have the ability for me to pick out a diamond and setting separately and have a ring built to order. Furthermore, they made no attempt to help me understand what I was looking at. The first time I walked into Garden State Jewelers I received a warm welcome and a bottle of water. I met Jonah that day who put no pressure on me to buy from them. He took his time with me explained all the different subtleties and nuances of diamonds. He showed me some of the rings they had in the display case to get a feel of what I was looking for. At the end of our meeting Jonah offered to get several diamonds that fit the description of what I was looking for so I could compare them side by side. I continued to work with Jonah and Garden State Jewelers through several more visits and phone calls. Jonah provided me with his cell phone and stayed in constant contact with me. He showed a true passion for his work and quite obviously took pride in his craftsmanship as a jeweler. The final product was a gorgeously set diamond engagement ring. My girlfriend, now fiancé, absolutely flipped over it and has been showing it off with pride. I will continue to do any type of jewelry related business with this shop. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful experience. Had my wedding band (with little diamonds around the perimeter) and engagement ring (single round stone) resized here for $85 each. Dropped them off on Tuesday and they were ready in 48 hours. Plus they were both polished up and looked like new! I brought them here after a bad experience at Tiffany in Riverside Square Mall (where the rings were purchased 15 years ago.) Long story short, Tiffany wanted $300 to resize the two rings, and oh, by the way, they said my engagement ring needed remounting for the low low price of $900, and that they wouldn't size the ring until I OK'd the remounting. When I brought them to Garden State Jewelers for a second opinion, the jeweler told me the setting did show some wear, but he was comfortable resizing it and the wedding band (for a fraction of the cost). Out of curiosity, I asked him what he would have charged me if he concurred that the stone needed to be remounted, and he said it would be about $200. I don't really wear jewelry other than these two rings, but if I ever have any jewelry needs in the future I will definitely come here first (and they did have lovely stuff in the cases during my cursory look). Honest service and reasonable costs! read more

I visited Garden State Jewelers for an appraisal of a family diamond ring and was greeted with absolute courtesy and professionalism. Ryan Schwartz, the proprietor took the time to explain the process to me and used up to date information on the market prices metal and diamond to value the ring. Key aspects that are considered in valuing the diamond was its size, clarity and color. He showed me how this was done and educated me on each step. I now have a better understanding on how to judge a diamond, as I never understood the clarity and color aspects. I know that I will purchase future jewelery from his store as he has built a trust with me that I have not felt with any other jewelery stores. He has a wonderful selection of rings, bracelets, necklaces and even high end watches that look like pieces of art. Do not hesitate to stop by his store: NOTE THAT THEY HAVE MOVED!

I was in the market for an engagement ring for my girlfriend and didn't know where to start. Quite frankly, I was suspicious of the whole engagement-ring shopping process and had heard horror stories from friends about some of their experiences. I came upon Garden State Jewelers based on the recommendation of a co-worker and felt at ease from the first moment I stepped in the door. Jonah and the rest of the staff at Garden State Jewelers are professional, courteous, and respectful of your tastes and budget. Every time I stepped in the door I was greeted personally and taken care of immediately. They educated me and worked with me me on selecting a diamond and setting and had the engagement ring ready well within my timeframe. From expertise, to price to comfortability with the whole process I am so glad that I chose Garden State Jewelers. I will recommend them to anyone that asks about fine jewelry or engagement rings! read more

The best. - My sister and I were interested in selling some of our gold and looked around Yelp for a place that had great, honest reviews. We wanted to sell to someone kind, honest and trustworthy. Not just where we could get the highest price. GSJ was just the place. As soon as we walked in we were kindly greeted by Ryan and noticed the shop had a really nice energy. Ryan was extremely kind and honest, looking over our jewelry carefully and explaining the selling/buying process. - Exactly what we had been looking for. We Visted another jeweler after meeting with Ryan and before selling just to compare and the difference in service was huge. Obviously not everyone does business like GSJ. Without hesitation my sister and I decided to sell our gold to Ryan who is not only kind, but trustworth. We are so grateful for such a great experience! This is how you do business well! THANK YOU! read more

I can't say enough about Garden State Jewelers! Jonah and Ryan are professional, knowledgeable and extremely welcoming! My brother lives in California and wanted some assistance with designing his fiancé's engagement ring. I recommended just speaking with Jonah and getting the facts and then purchasing the ring in CA. My brother was so comfortable with Jonah that he hired Jonah to design the ring over 3000 miles away. Jonah took the time to have daily conversations and make sure it was the most beautiful ring! The ring is absolutely gorgeous and perfect! My brother was so impressed that he is now working with Jonah to design the wedding bands! There is a picture of the ring and the moment he popped the question posted! I will always recommend Garden State Jewelers! read more

I had a few pieces of gold jewelry just laying around collecting dust so I decided to get rid of it. I was thinking of just going to a local pawn shop when I came across the website for garden state jewelers. Clicked on it and seen that they buy gold. So then of course I had to check the reviews. Well i must say I was impressed so the following day I went. I walked in and was greeted by Ryan. He handed me a bottle of water while dealing with another client. My turn came and he was very nice and took his time explaining things . In the end l, I walked out a happy camper and would recommend this place to everyone. Whether it be for selling your old jewelry or looking to purchase new jewelry. Thanks again Ryan!! read more

I've had the pleasure of dealing with Garden State Jewelers on numerous occasions - everything from cleaning a heirloom silver bracelet to having them design and commission a custom gold necklace based on one of my ideas. I've also bought replacement silver necklace chains and sold some mismatched old gold jewelry and got a great price on it. Ryan and Jonah are extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of gems and precious metals, and I recommend them to anyone looking for unique and affordable jewelry and fantastic customer service. On another note, as a fellow Teaneck resident, I love to support local businesses - especially ones like Garden State Jewelers who also give back in many ways to our community. read more

I have dealt with many large Jewelry stores in the past being that I am in the jewelry trade. I recently referred a client of mine who lives in the tri state area to Garden State Jewelers, a retail Jewelry store in Teaneck. I have referred many clients to several other places before however never have I gotten a call back from my client to thank me for the referral. I am always a little wary about referring other businesses because it could come back to bite me if they screw over my client. However giving a referral of someone else's business and getting to look good in the process now that's awesome. I just wanted to share that with you guys and let you know that I appreciate you making me look good. read more

I walked in to Garden State Jewelers to get my friend a present for her birthday. I was so happy to see that they had so many options for each price range. I found the perfect present that totally fit my budget but also looked beautiful and high-end. The most exceptional part about the experience was definitely the customer service. Ryan walked me through the different pieces in each price range and didn't make me feel like I was any less of a customer because I wanted to spend less. He really seemed to care about helping me find something that would make me nothing less than happy. If I need any other jewelry or repairs I am definitely coming back! read more

I went to garden state jewelers looking for a ring for my birthday. There selection was really beautiful and the customer service was great. However the one thing that really stood out in my mind was the way I was treated when I walked in the door before they even knew I was a potential customer. I was handed a cold bottle water on a hot sunny day and greeted with a smile and a simple if there is anything I can help you with please let me know. They were not pushy or aggressive just genuine and sweet. FYI for the the ladies out there the store is owned by two brothers and they are definitely easy on the eyes, just saying. read more

I started out by selling my gold to Garden State Jewelers over a year ago. I still keep a close relationship with them, because they have proven their loyalty and trust with every referral I give them. I also have made "gold parties," where they come to my location, test and purchase gold on the spot. Their location is also very convenient, since its located in englewood, NJ, 10 minutes out of NYC and right off of Rt 4. I would highly suggest selling your gold to them, because they will always beat any price out there. They are really friendly, and don't try to pressure you like other cash for gold places do. read more

I've had Jewelry repaired at Garden State Jewelers. They were terrific. I can recommend them without qualification. I came al the way from Montclair at the suggestion of a colleague, and it was without question definitely worth the trip. The fellas there were friendly, and carefully explained what needed to be done, and did it for ONE QUARTER of what my local shop told me it would cost. Do yourself a favor and check in with them. If I need to purchase something, I'll definitely be going there again. The two brothers just seem so trustworthy, I'd really feel safe knowing I got a fair deal. read more

I was completely clueless about jewelry coming into the store. I was looking for something nice and within my budget, for my girl friend. Thank god for Jonah, he really helped me out. Even with my modest budget he treated me like a VIP customer and devoted time and energy to explaining and going through what I should get her. He was very straight forward and honest, worked with me instead of trying to up sale. I can't recommend going there enough to anyone looking to buy jewelry. Thanks again Jonah for making Christmas such a success. read more

I tend to go to artisinal craft jewelers. But I wanted a string of serious pearls for my wife for our anniversary, so went on Yelp to find who was good. Garden State Jewelers was the highest rated place near me -- and they deserve every star. Very down to earth. Explained exactly what my options were and the relative merits. Understood my financial range and didn't play games with it. Kind. Thoughtful. Understood the niceties of presentation. Even gave me a bottle of water unprompted as we began. I would return without reservation. read more

Five stars for the three brothers who run Garden State Jewelers! My experience there was reminiscent of the old school way of business that is conducted in the diamond district in NYC. I found Ryan to be most honorable in our interaction,inspiring confidence in both the appraisal and subsequent sale of an heirloom timepiece.I would wholeheartedly recommend GardenState based on their discretion and expertise,along with being sincerely nice young men.Yours truly,Anthony D.
