First off, I had to check a few times to be sure that I was reading the reviews of the correct Jeweler... I can't believe the three lukewarm reviews these guys received! Honestly, I can't account for their experiences but I will remind that for the most part people are more apt to post bad experiences on yelp than good ones. That may explain things.. I suppose. That being said: I came to Kravit Jewelers by a recommendation from my brother, who also purchased an engagement ring there years back. He became friendly with the owner, Benny, and advised me to check the place out, and so I did. (It wasn't until recently that my brother reminded me this actually wasn't my first visit to Kravit Jewelers - when I was in my very early 20's I bought a diamond cross necklace for my now-fiancé whom I had just met then - funny/small world!) So this was all new to me. I knew exactly nothing about anything ring-related, like most guys out there. Benny and his associate Val both spent several hours on multiple visits educating my fiancé and myself about the process. In addition, they showed us many stones which helped us decide on the perfect one. There was no hard-sale here like I experienced at another jeweler (who "forgot" what my budget was, and showed us $30K+ stones... come on...). In fact, the first stone my fiancé liked was an amazing deal. However it was I who actually pushed Benny to go a bit more upscale on the stone. When does that ever happen?! No hard-sale here, not one bit. You are your own man and you get to control the situation - I liked that. The setting Suzanne wanted was one she saw online. She knew exactly what she wanted, as most women do, and it was my Benny's job to make sure she got that (gulp). Armed with a cell-phone picture and video of the desired setting, we visited Val once again. He went over materials to be used (and again, didn't up-sell or pretend that Platinum is better or whatever). He basically laid out the pro's and cons of each metal, more like a geologist would rather than a salesman. Again, a big plus. Within the week, Val had a 3D print of the setting for us to see, along with the actual stone we had chosen to match it up with. Suzanne was able to try on the ring before we even had it - amazing. As the weeks passed, our vacation date had been approaching. I had planned on just going away to Florida for a few days, never thinking that I would be done with the seemingly arduous process of ring-shopping, but now it looked very possible that I would have the ring done on time for our trip. Again, Val pulled through, getting the ring done just a day before the trip. He hit it spot-on the first try, with NOTHING that needed work or fixing. I couldn't believe it. Instead of having to trek all over creation to find a stone and setting (or deal with Manhattan diamond district and all of it's annoyances) I was literally going to be done after only having to go check out two places (Kravit for the purchase and a place in Huntington for comparison of what up-selling salespeople can be like). And to top it off, I'd be able to propose on our vacation (after telling Suzanne the ring wouldn't be ready for another few weeks, because it had to be custom made - pretty believable!) So off we went to sunny Florida, me hiding the perfect ring with the best calm and collectiveness I could muster. I took Suzanne flying in a small plane that I rented at a local Clearwater airport, and at 2500 feet over the sandy shores of Clearwater Beach I became the happiest pilot alive. Because Benny delivered an excellent product for a more than reasonable price - and did it when I needed it - and flawlessly, I was able to see through what has easily become the best and most memorable day of my life. Big thanks to Benny, Val, and the rest of the crew at Kravit Jewelers. You can't go wrong here. Don't let the other reviews scare you - I am more than happy with our experience. He really took the pain and uncertainty out of buying a diamond. His stones are GIA certified and he will not let you leave his store without getting an insurance policy for the jewelry (this is very important to have, and I can't understand why some people cheap out on this). read more

Our first time visiting Kravit and we had a wonderful experience with Nicole! My wife and I tried on a number of Rolexes and talked through which models and styles we liked.

Kravit Jewelers - Datejust 36 - Jewelry Near Me - Oceanside, New York

had such a great shopping experience here. My friend had just got a rolex so we stopped in looking to get a very specific rolex and when they didn't have it we started window shopping. The staff was very friendly, helpful. I saw a pair of diamond stud earrings I loved but was uncertain about the size and getting a big purchase so spontaneously. They brought out a bunch to compare sizes, offered us drinks and they cleaned my wedding ring while I was looking. I ended up coming back the next day to get the earrings and they were so kind the day before when I didn't buy them and were so friendly to my pup who came with me. Great spot! read more

The only place to shop. Large store with plenty of variety and they have new inventory frequently. They are an authorized Rolex dealer and also sell beautiful jewelry. The staff is wonderful and make it such a special experience when you visit. Expect VIP treatment and a warm welcoming environment. They also have fun events from time to time. Seriously just go. Ask for Nicole. She is by far the best sales associate I have ever had. So happy I found Kravit. read more

Shopping in Kravitz is a lovely experience. You are greeted with refreshments and smiles as you walk through the door. The knowledgeable staff gives you their undivided attention until you find what you are looking for. Never any pressure. So patient. No question they are reputable and can be trusted. Gina, is the young lady I was lucky enough to make an appointment with. I was resetting my mother's engagement ring which I broke, but had no idea what I really wanted. I just knew it needed to be special. Gina spent hours with me, but I was so indecisive. I made a second appointment and was given homework to do--search the internet and bring in pictures of rings I liked. She was determined to find something I loved!! Well, mission accomplished..........We designed the whole ring using bits and pieces of pictures I took. My ring is absolutely stunning, and I know my mom would have approved. Go with the best- Kravitz. You will not be disappointed. read more

Beautiful store, Bennett did a great job. Just seems there should be more merchandise to choose from. Set up like a art gallery. Just one mans opinion read more

Couldn't recommend more highly! Purchased a beautiful necklace and very hard to find watch and their service was phenomenal! The price of the necklace was much less than what we could find locally in Arizona. Great business and we'll be back soon read more

I made my first purchase at Kravits this past September. I dealt with the owner Bennett. I was very impressed with his knowledge and honesty. After my purchase I asked about a specific watch. I went in a few times and inquired about the watch with the manager Danny. Danny also was very honest and knowledgeable. Today I received a call from Danny. He informed me they received the watch I was interested in purchasing. I was pleasantly surprised. Bennett kept his promise. He is very honorable. I can't express how pleased I am with both Bennett and Danny. Don't waste your time with other jewelry stores. Kravits is simply the best! read more

I have bought 3 Rolex watches over the years from Kravits. Joanne and Marianne are lovely and helpful. If you are looking for a certain watch they will try to order or put you on a list. Rolex is a tricky company especially during Covid times... watches are coming in again and these fabulous women will go out of their way to get you what you want. Calls do happen!! And when you get that fabulous watch or piece of jewelry they will get you the paperwork you need for insurance. Marianne emailed me and sent me a hard copy too. Great customer service! Consistently! Thank you Joanne, Marianne (and Bennett). read more

Literally LOVE THEM! Every single piece of my jewelry is exquisite! Their customer service is incredible. Love shopping there (well at least sending my husband with a list) read more

I was there to buy my daughter a graduation present. Their selection was small. A lot of empty display cases. I found one ring I liked but the price was simply outrageous. Don't think I'll be back to Kravit again. read more

I've had several visit thus far dealing with the staff at Kravit Jewelers. Between watch/necklace repair, selecting jewelry the experience has always been top notch. I like the fact it's been a family owned business for such long time as well...I definitely recommend Kravit and it's staff for all jewelry needs! read more

They did a beautiful job of putting the diamond I inherited into the ring that I described to them, and while they did that, they also made me comfortable in part by promising that they weren't just selling me a ring; they were building a relationship, and they wanted me to come back for my wedding rings, gifts in the future, etc. However, after I proposed (and she said yes), we noticed that one of the channel set stones was clearly discolored compared to the rest of them, so we brought it back to have it fixed. They fixed it...but in the process, they lost another one of the channel set stones, which we realized after the diamond setter was gone for the day. At that point, we refused to keep making the very difficult trip to Oceanside from the city when the diamond setter was in (only in the mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays) to make repairs that were due entirely to their error. We would have had to wait months to be able to do that, and all the while, she would be wearing an engagement ring that is missing a stone. Ladies, how would you feel about that? When I asked them to remember their promise of a "relationship" and keep our long term business by making our lives just a little easier by putting us in touch with someone in the city to make this one particular repair, which was entirely their fault through not one, but two mistakes, they simply stopped e-mailing me back. read more

Headed down to Oceanside looking to have a watch battery replaced and some links taken out of my new watch (which happened to be made of wood). Spotted this jeweler and figured we would give it a shot, the place we normally use had moved. Well my wood watch seemed to offend the salesman and my measly business seemed to annoy him. Nice looking jewelry, bad attitudes. No thanks. read more

I've had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Alan, who's quite welcoming, kind, honest & professional. After getting to meet Bruce today; with his unsurpassed expertise, knowledge & incredible sense of style savviness mixed with a debonaire disposition. I can't wait for my next trip to New York to see their store & magnificent jewelry. read more

My fiancé proposed with an absolutely stunning engagement ring that Kravit custom-designed to incorporate a diamond that belonged to my late mother. Words cannot begin to express how much I love this ring! It was truly the surprise of a lifetime, and Kravit went above and beyond to make it perfect. They worked closely with my fiancé (without my knowledge, of course) to incorporate my mom's diamond--which hadn't seen the light of day in 10+ years, so I can only imagine how dusty & dingy it must have been!!--into a true work of art. I recently stopped into Kravit for the first time to have sizing beads installed to keep my top-heavy ring upright on my finger, and they were incredibly warm, gracious, and very clearly true experts. I had been putting off this appointment because I didn't want to part with the ring (I assumed same-day wouldn't be possible), but Kravit finished the job perfectly--and for free!-- in less than an hour. Even though my Fiancé & I live in Manhattan and have no shortage of exceptional jewelers in our neighborhood, we'll most certainly make the trip to Oceanside to purchase our wedding bands (among other things, I'm sure!) from Kravit in the future. read more

Also Not sure where any negativity is coming from. This store is a throwback where they are patient helpful, and will clean your watches Jewelry for free while you wait. If you are in the market for a new Rolex this is the place. read more

Very snotty if you're not dressed up to their standards. Overpriced and outdated. I rather shop at Gross and sons in garden city they treat you like a person. Go in and see for yourself. Was in area and went twice to give a second chance and both times my friends who are well off were very insulted. Jewelry looks like it has been sitting there for years. Time to get with the times. read more

I took my white gold Rolex in to inquire about replacing a weathered band and was greeted with a most extraordinary warm reception and got amazing service and attitude rarely seen these days They replaced my band on the spot and the cost was 50 percent less than I had been quoted by competitors. This place is the real deal and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of quality service or products. read more

Bennett and his team are amazing! They helped me pick out a beautiful engagement ring for my Fiance, found the perfect wedding bands for us, and created amazing bracelets for my groomsmen. They went above and beyond to help us get the perfect jewelry for our wedding. I highly recommend coming to Kravit's and am so thankful they were there to help us along the way. read more

Obnoxious sales associate wouldn't refund my layaway. So i have no item and no money. He thought he was speaking to an idiot. Ive never felt so disrespected in my life. And i worked in a much nicer, much higher end place than this. I explained I've been in this business half my life, please don't treat me like some schmuck off the street. I'm sorry I didn't come in wearing my ball gown dripping in diamonds, because if I did I know he would've treated me differently. If you're a regular average person, this place is not for you. If You're A Snob That likes To Do Business with other snobs, then this is your place. And I still don't have my money back. That's the kind of place this is. A high end jeweler doesn't keep $200 in the register? BS. He was just so rude, not someone I would ever have even bought something from. Dude, you're 75 working in a retail store. Get over yourself. read more

My fiancée and I had such a great experience with them. Marianne was amazing. She kept reassuring us we would have exactly what we wanted. I'm so in love with my ring. Highly recommend this place. read more

I too can't believe the negative reviews. I have been doing business with Kravit since 1988. I recently traded in some old diamond jewelry for diamond earrings and a diamond cross. They are exquisite! The best by far. I've left my diamonds there for weeks never having to worry about their honesty. I have been very happy with their service all these years. read more

They made a mold of a piece of jewelry for my son on time and for the price I asked for and it came out great...the piece is perfect... Thanks to Joe who was pleasant and attentive... the next day I brought my watch in for a battery and done in 5 minutes...no charge... read more

After being referred to Kravit by a family friend, I decided to go down to the store and see what I was dealing with. The store was very clean and had a substantial amount of jewelry and watches. I was in the market to buy my first watch. The staff explained to me about the functionality and design of every watch on site. Right away I knew this place was the real deal. I decided to pull the trigger feeling extremely comfortable. I now know that I have a jeweler I can finally trust. BTW I've returned a month later to make another purchase. read more

I have been doing business with Kravit for over 15 years, I purchased several high end watches from them without any issues. They have always been fair to me and that is all I can ask for when doing business with someone. read more

The location provides lots of parking, good selection of watches and jewelry cleaning as well. 10/10 would go again! read more

Visited Kravits today just to have a watchband, which I bought elsewhere, installed on a watch I purchased elsewhere. I have made several purchases here years ago but hadn't been in the store for several years. I was buzzed in immediately and was greeted by the owner. He was extremely friendly and when I told him what I needed not only did he agree to do the band for me he was kind enough to offer me coffee or water. We had a pleasant conversation and before I knew it my watch was ready. It was a very satisfying experience and when I'm looking to make a jewelry purchase I will definitely return to Kravits. read more

Not sure where the negative reviews are coming from, as this place gave me some of the best service out of any jeweler I went to. The staff treated me great and assisted me in every step of the way when buying my fiance her engagement ring. For something that means so much you want to make sure you get it right, and they hit the nail on the head. Perfection is hard and they picked the perfect ring, her words not mine. Thank you to everyone at Kravit jewelers, I will most definitely be a repeat customer. read more

My fiance worked with Val in th creation of my engagement ring. He walked us through the process and took his time making us feel comfortable and educated us throughout the whole process. If we needed to see more diamonds he would get them for us within two days. He created such a stunning setting. Every where I go people are left breathless. All I hear from everyone is that they have never seen such an amazing setting and stone. The workmanship is outstanding. VAL IS AMAZING and I highly reccomend him and Kravit Jewlers to everyone. Thank you VAL/Kravit Jewlers!! Steph & Dan read more

I have had multiple experiences at Kravit Jewelers, all of which have been outstanding! Mr. Bennett Kaye and his staff are prompt, personable and professional. I have the utmost confidence in their expertise as well as the quality and reliability of their work. I recommend Kravit Jewelers without question! Jody H. read more

I agree with Suz. I was recommended to Bennett by a friend. Wanted to purchase an anniversary present for my wife but had no idea of what I was going to buy. It didn't take long for me to decide on a one of a kind necklace designed by Bennett. It was both beautiful and unique. Although I was shown many options for less money I kept going back to the original piece. Needless to say my wife fell in love with the necklace and I am in the process of purchasing her holiday gift from Kravitz again. They are my jewelers and they should be yours too. read more

I recently used Kravit Jewelers for an engagement ring. It was such an amazing experience. From the first phone call with Bennett Kaye all the way through the final purchase. On the first call with Bennett, he was so interested in how I was going to propose and what type of woman my future fiance was. I immediately felt like part of the family and the experience only got better from there. I met with several other Jewelers who immediately started with their sales pitch...Bennett was less concerned with a pitch, and only concerned that I found the perfect ring. Going into our first in-person meeting, I new very little about rings and diamonds. Bennett educated me on the 4 C's and beyond...it would have been much more overwhelming if he wasn't so genuinely interested in making sure I made an informed decision. The store was immaculate and they have a very large selection to choose from. (also have a large selection of Rolex watches which caught my eye every time in the store! ha) The coffee is delicious there as well! We looked at several different diamonds and settings and ended up with a completely custom one...and it came out UNBELIEVABLY perfect. Even though I was comfortable with them at this point and the trust was there, I was still nervous to see how the final product came out. Every detail that we talked about from the first call all the way through the final purchase, Bennett remembered, and the ring was more beautiful than I could believe. My finance is so happy with how perfect it is. But, if for some crazy reason she wasn't, Bennett assured me it was OK to bring it back in and change it. Once again, this was not needed because it was absolutely perfect, but that helped take some of the pressure off for me! It was also very reasonably priced. When I called back another Jeweler that I had met with to let him know I was going with Kravit, he asked for the certificate number and how much they were charging. When I told him, he said there was no way he could compete with that and I'm making the right decision. So even if you don't believe me, there's another expert in the industry that confirmed how great of a price I received. Overall, as you can tell by the above comments, it was truly an amazing experience. I will be purchasing all future Jewelery there and will be recommending everyone I know to go there as well. Thank you so much for making this purchase so easy! read more

Let me start off by saying Kravit was recommended to me by a former employee who I trust 100%. That being said BE AWARE!!! I went there to have a ring re-set, so I was assured the ring would be exactly what I asked for, upon speaking with the sales person on the phone I received a VERY nasty comment when I asked questions. This seemed odd to me so I went in to check the new ring they had ordered. Well, it was NOTHING like what I asked for. So a very nice woman took time to fix the problem and assured me that it would be perfect, and a week later it was more then perfect it was AMAZING, or so I thought, the channel setting was crooked, the prongs were not on the diamond right. So they fixed it, I went back a week later and the ring was the wrong size. Then a week later I get the ring, have it on my finger less then 2 days and notice discoloration, they tell me how white gold is plated with rhodium blah blah; yes I know all this I also know in two days a ring doesn't turn yellow and they tell me oh did you use chemicals? No no I didn't. They re plate it I get it in the sun the bottom is still yellow. I do this two more times. Since they seemed to be trying their best I gave them the benifit of the doubt and asked them to resize my fiance wedding band (only half a size down) It was a band that we had gotten. It was incredible thick and a great deal. A week later I Went back to pick up the ring, it was BUTCHERED, I do not even know a strong enough word for what they did to this ring. I was told it would be taken care of they were sorry. A week later I went back, well, it was not fixed it was polished and I was told that the week before we saw an "illusion" since it wasn't polished. As if we were stupid and couldn't see it was noticeably thinner, not to mention the inside shape of the ring was different. When we stated it was still not right, well let me tell you, so the BS started. They stated that the hallmark was still there if they ground it down it wouldn't be there. However, after much talk to get us to accept a ring that was obviously butchered, they stated if we get in touch with the original company and find the Millimeter thickness then they would be able to replace the ring. They made very sure to tell us not to go by weight cause they sized it down. Fact is, I don't have the Millimeter width I have no real way to prove anything, this is my fault, but I have learned my lesson, please if you go there they do nice work and have some good associates who tryed to make things right. but BEWARE have everything photographed, weighed and measured, be careful and don't trust anyone but yourself I am currently speaking with the maker to try and get the proof I need, but please protect yourself.. read more

We've been customers of Kravit for about 15 years; buying watches, rings, bracelets, necklaces, charms, etc. The staff, [Constantine, Maryann, Lynn] are always friendly and helpful regardless if we're buying a $50 charm or a Rolex or came in for a look-see. We had a problem with two rings [band broke on one and stones fell out on the other], which were promptly corrected. They carry a wide assortment of products, mostly toward the upper price range yet there's plenty to choose from at lower price points. read more

I guess they didn't want my money. I have NEVER had such poor service in a store. After being buzzed in, I waited about 5 minutes for a salesperson to appear. When she did, she was rather lukewarm about showing me earrings. They didn't have what I wanted, so she gave me a catalog to look through & then disappeared. I spent about 10 minutes looking through the catalog & saw several possibilities, but the salesgirl never reappeared, nor did anyone else. I took that as a sign that they really didn't care about making a sale and left. Too bad they were so disinterested because I very possibly would have ordered something, but won't give my business to a store that doesn't seem to care. Maybe because I wasn't looking for a Rolex? read more
