I can't say enough good things about this company! I was…read morelooking for diamonds by the yard necklace but didn't like the choices from other Jewelers that I've seen. I wanted better diamonds and a little thicker chain. I was recommended to Sam, and he gave me so many choices of different chain styles, thicknesses, and options of ways to set the diamonds. I warned him that I'm very picky. I wanted firey bright clean diamonds. Honestly, I was afraid to have something custom-made. Sam had the patience of a saint! He even sat with me and chose every single diamond individually, asking what I thought about each one's color & cut before putting it into the batch that would be used. He spent such a long time with me to include setting up the raw materials in a row on a velvet tray to show me what it would look like when it was finished. He got my approval to be sure I was happy before proceeding with each step. I'm so sorry I drove him crazy during the selection process. The end result? My custom-made necklace is gorgeous and has made me so happy. This man is a true gentleman and professional. I couldn't be happier.

I worked a a famous store in San Jose, CA for 7 years part time to learn and to get discount. With that said, I was thrilled to find Sam online. I have never visit his store/office nor met him in person. Everything was done via phone text/email/phone call. Sam knows exactly what I'm looking for, a perfect pairs of Cushion Cut Diamonds, Un-Crushed (pay a little more to get it perfect), triple excellent, colorless. GIA cert, exactly same carat weight, almost identical in measurement... It's unbelievable that Sam made that happened for us. I got the pair set at side stone for my ring, stunningly beautiful, the jeweler where I got it set, couldn't stop praising the beautiful of my ring. My husband was so impressed. I couldn't be happier. Garden Diamonds New York City saves me a lot of money, beats all the prices in Silicon Valley. I can't wait to get more diamonds from Sam (time to grind and save), thank you so much. A much needed ring during this challenging time, it took me 10 months, and it's so worth it!

5 stars without hesitation…read more I worked with Sarah B. and the Ada Diamonds team to create a custom yellow diamond cross pendant. I had a vision for the piece, but honestly struggled to put it into words. Sarah was incredibly patient throughout the process and somehow managed to turn a collection of ideas, sketches, and inspiration photos into exactly what I had in mind. The communication was excellent, the design process was collaborative, and the craftsmanship is exceptional. When I finally opened the box, I was genuinely blown away. The pendant was even more beautiful than I had imagined. Thank you to Sarah B., the design team, and the fabrication team for creating a piece that I'll treasure for a lifetime.

Extremely shocked this is the first official review on Yelp - I actually joined Yelp solely for the…read morepurpose of this review. Linda, aka AgentDiamond, was an unexpected God-send in my diamond ring search process. I decided to reach out to her after noticing a featured profile in a food blog for someone with "diamond ring consultant" as am occupation just as I was "in the market". After a few bad experiences I felt I couldn't lose by reaching out to her. I must say I could not possibly write a more glowing review of her service and my experience with her. If you are shopping for a ring you've probably done a lot of research, gone to the fancy jewelery stores like Tiffany, Cartier, Harry Winston, perhaps even met with your friend's "diamond guy", used all the web retailer and search tools to get the best price/quality ratio, perhaps signed up for Rapaport weekly pricing service, studied the 4Cs and beyond - this is great - but I can honestly say you will save yourself a lot of time, money, and piece of mind by using a "girl" named Linda - someone who clearly has more clout with Diamond wholesalers than your friend's "guy". Let me just say this - the diamond business can be very, very dirty as I learned the hard way from going to a friend's "guy" in the diamond district (chances are he ripped off your unsuspecting friend and is now living off his referals) - you need an independent consultant to navigate through the process so you don't get covered in grime on the other end. There is no doubt I got the best deal available anywhere and I also got a product of amazing quality and Linda was there every step of the way. I never met with anyone without her (including the diamond wholesalers, the setting manufacturer (they can do anything), jewelry cleaners, engravers, multiple appraisels), no sales pressure, she created a custom webpage for me which had all of my ring ideas, a 3D rendering of the ring I designed, prices of various diamonds I was looking for, styles I liked, etc. In addition, she even helped me locate a very rare silver engagement ring box online that I had spent hours scouring the internet for on my own to no avail - something she wasn't even getting paid for directly or indirectly which is truly the sign of someone who takes pride in their business, cares about her clients and wants to help you throughout what is typically a stressful experience (believe it or not - my biggest fear throughout the process was not being able to present the ring in a nice box by not buying in a jewelery store such as Tiffany, Cartier). When you get it appraised you will be in for a shock at the "retail value" of the ring - rule of thumb it's just under 2X what you pay for it going wholesale and this is not a scam as I had it appraised at various renowned institutions - the higher appraisel affect the insurance premium you pay - generally 2-3% of appraisal price depending on your State. When I got my fiancee's ring I was very impressed with the work quality and my fiancee loves it and gets inundated with compliments about it wherever we go. Just when I thought my experience with AgentDiamond had come to a happy end my fiancee received a very nice Bridal magazine subscription in the mail as a gift a few weeks after the engagement, a week or two later a beautiful engagement gift (a jewelery holder shaped like a tree with two birds), and a few weeks after that she received a special instant diamond cleaner which works wonders in a pinch. I am probably forgetting a few things too. These are really nice gestures and is a rarity even in the luxury retail world. When it became time to get a wedding band I didn't hesititate to use Linda again and she came through. Her fee is included in the price of the ring - I never got billed for anything seperately (cleanings, engravings, appraisels, etc) and it still ended up being more economical than the best prices I was seeing online at Bluenile and I didn't have to cross my fingers that a disgruntled Fedex employee would take off with the ring. I would recommend AgentDiamond to anyone and everyone unequivocally for not just engagement ring shopping but for anything else diamond related. Looking ahead at holidays, birthdays, anniveraries, Valentine's days - AgentDiamond will find herself on many future missions.

We both didn't know anything about diamonds or the Diamond District in NYC and Linda helped us both understand and enjoy the process. Thank you Linda! I'd recommend her to anyone if you want a truly special experience rather than buying a ring in a chain store.

So thankful I picked up the phone and called Mayer. I told him exactly the type of ring / diamond I was going for, and when we met he had examples already pulled out waiting for us. After about 2 hours of deliberation I picked out the diamond, and Mayer had the ring built within the week. The ring is stunning, absolutely perfect. My fiancé fell in love with it. Initially she was leaning toward something similar from Tiffany's, but the the ring HH put together blew it out of the water!! I'll recommend HH to anyone in the market for not only a engagement ring, but any type of custom jewelry. We'll be going back ourselves for the bridal party gifts!!

Though tucked away towards the back of the jewelry exchange, HH is bar none the best vendor their. Their non-pushy sales attitude and insistence on making sure that you walk away with the RIGHT piece of jewelry, not just any piece, was really evident throughout the buying process. Most of all, you are talking to the buyer of the rough gems themselves so they are able to work with you to find something in your budget even if they need to make the piece for you sight on seen. Don't worry if you don't see anything in the case on your first peruse, just ask for Michael and Mayer and they will be able to tailor a piece to your needs and dreams.

While at first I was nervous about being limited to working with Naomi virtually due to the pandemic, those doubts were totally dispelled after our first communication. It was clear that Naomi knew what she was doing and was incredibly detail oriented so as to ensure that the final product matched the vision for our project. Ultimately, the final piece turned out beautifully and exceeded my and my partner's expectations. Plus, I found her prices to be very reasonable and fair. If you are looking to create a custom piece and/or work with heirloom jewelry, I whole heartedly recommend Naomi!

No matter how many other shops I went to (I did some thorough shopping around) it only confirmed to me that they were the people I knew I could trust with such a large purchase. I ended up getting three pieces of custom jewelry that I couldn't be happier with, all at very fair prices. Isaac even took the time to get them appraised for me, had the jewelry maker make tweaks for me (I was being very particular), and introduced me to others that he knew so I could get custom boxes made. Isaac and his wife truly stand apart from all of the competition in terms of being trust worthy, standing by their word, being truly dedicated to producing an amazing product and making sure that you walk away happy.
