    Wow how did I find one of NYC's best engagement ring AND fancy yellow colored diamond sellers? Where do I begin... first I need to tell you how I met Mike. No, I didn't use Yelp or Google to read about blogs. I had followed celebrities who bought diamonds from him (post Malone! And other basketball players!). He was verified on Instagram and I dreamed from buying from him but was nervous about getting scammed by the diamond district. I usually buy my diamonds from a friend who I've known for years who actually is able to get me wholesale pricing. However, during the pandemic, she moved to Miami and I needed a new jeweler in the city. My friend introduced me to Mike. I just want to emphasize that point - my friend who has worked for years on diamond district introduced me to Mike and said that "he is the most honest and kindest salesperson in Diamond District" I was like okay. I'll give it a try. The first thing I bought from Mike was a diamond tennis bracelet. He has a sales associate named Nate who is super friendly, but you NEED to talk to Mike (sorry Mike if youre reading this - youre going to be really busy haha). Mike's GRANDPA's photo is on the wall. That's how long he's been working in this industry. My fiancé and I went to Mike for our engagement ring, and my fiancé did say that "mike is one of the best salesman" he has ever met... but mike was always honest. Okay and PRICES - his prices are better than The Clear Cut and The Ring Concierge. I looked at both of those places too. Mike may not serve you champagne, but you will always talk to him and he always has better prices. Here's something I learned recently: everyone has access to the same vault (those start ups, other stores on diamond district, your mom's friend the jeweler...). I chose to go with Mike because he's honest and he has experience and he doesn't take advantage of you because his customers go back to him for decades. I had an issue with my tennis bracelet and he fixed it no charge and added an extra clasp that someone else was charging me $250 to do. It's also just cool to get your jewelry the same place Post Malone gets his :) So yes I highly highly recommend Mike, and if youre a random Yelp person or someone who I know in real life who follows me on Yelp, I'm being honest. Mike Nekta may look intimidating on Instagram, but he's the kindest and best person on Diamond District.

    Mike Nekta has done it again. I have followed Mike on IG for almost 2 years now(@Mike_nekta), he has the quality, knowledge, patience, and killer pricing! I live in California and my only form of communication with Mike is via Text and calling. I showed my boss his Instagram page and she instantly fell in love and wanted to buy a new wedding ring for her 28th anniversary. In less than a week Mike provided us a killer center stone and 'baller' custom setting. Within 24hrs of payment her ring arrived at our office. It was more beautiful than she could ever imagine. With such success we told our clients about Mike and they were excited that we had a connection to New York's Diamond District. Just recently a client reached out wanting to purchase a ring, she was an older client and was not tech savvy. However, that did not stop her from reaching out to Mike through our office technology. Each week Mike communicated diamonds and designs until our client decided on the perfect center and side stones. Today the STUNNING ring arrived, and she was speechless, she was on the verge of tears. (FYI, our business has no relations to diamonds, we are a financial office, so it is awesome to see our clients happy with a purchase) If you are looking for jewelry GO TO MIKE. He will beat any Jewelers pricing.

    I had to share my experience because I truly wish I had come here from the very beginning…read more Jangmi was actually the first place I went to when I started ring shopping. I wanted to see a variety of designs, shapes, and settings--and they had so many beautiful options to try on. The experience was warm, helpful, and not overwhelming at all. However, I ended up going with another jeweler a few stores down because my boyfriend had a connection there. The moment I received my ring, I immediately regretted not choosing Jangmi. The ring I got was nothing close to what I had asked for. The prongs were bent, and I had specifically requested a higher setting so that a wedding band could sit flush--but none of my bands (even very thin ones) sat properly. I brought it back and asked for multiple fixes. To his credit, he did make adjustments for free, but when I received the ring the second time, it still didn't match my vision at all. What I wanted was simple and classic: a 6-prong setting with tall, straight prongs (similar to the Tiffany style) and small claw tips. Instead, the ring was still not high enough, and the prongs were extremely thick--both from the top and side view--which completely took away from the beauty of the diamond. At that point, I was honestly so frustrated and ready to give up. But I remembered how positive my initial experience at Jangmi was, so I decided to reach out and ask if they could reset my ring. Even though the previous jeweler was willing to keep making changes for free, I didn't feel comfortable going back. I would much rather pay for something done right. And I am SO glad I did. Jangmi had the exact design I had been envisioning all along. Mrs. Kim was incredibly patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. She had a wax model made for me to try on before finalizing the ring, which made such a huge difference. Seeing and wearing the design in person gave me so much confidence--honestly, I preferred this so much more than just looking at CAD images, which can be hard to interpret if you're not in the industry. Within just two weeks, my ring was exactly what I had dreamed of from the start. The craftsmanship, the proportions, the setting--everything was perfect. My biggest regret is not coming to Jangmi Jewelry from the beginning. But one thing I can promise is that I will absolutely be coming back here for my wedding bands. If you're even thinking about going here--just do it. You won't regret it!

    Wonderful woman. Ring shopping can be overwhelming, but jangmi makes you feel right at home. She's…read morefunny, kind, and has a keen eye for what looks good. She's not just trying to sell - she's quite candid about what she think looks good or not. I absolutely love the design we ended up with, and think she gave us a fair price. Plus my ring is sparkly as hell (to the point where people say they haven't seen as sparkly a ring).

    There is absolutely no one better than Michael…read more Michael is hands down the best jeweler. Especially for an engagement ring. From the moment we walked in, he took so much time to walk us through every detail, answering all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does and wants his customers to feel confident in their decisions. What really stood out was how valued he made my partner feel throughout the entire process--it wasn't just a transaction, it felt personal. On top of that, he gave us an extremely fair price that honestly exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping you find the perfect piece, Michael is your guy. Couldn't recommend him more.

    Seriously don't even know where to start. I'm OBSESSED! I received a ring for my push present and…read moreit's everything I could have asked for and more. The team made the entire process so easy. They worked with me to get the best quality, had the fastest turnaround, and honestly made it such a seamless experience that I kept questioning if it was real because I've never worked with such an amazing team before. Thank you so much for all your help! You've definitely gained a forever client! P.S. This was my first time working with them and I don't even live in NY. It was all based on trust, and I can honestly say I fully recommend them and trust them completely.

    With I could give them 10 stars!!!…read more I had an emergency situation where I needed diamonds set into a new setting plus needed it the same day! Asked around to all my contacts and did my Google and Yelp due diligence and I was referred to I. D. Jewelery without hesitation, even Google AI said go to them! First off it's a true family owned and operated business. And they treat you like family too (minus the drama) everyone was so warm and friendly. I first called and spoke to lovely Anna and she told me it was possible but to come in so their jeweler can take a look at it first. I got there around 11am and I told them my dilemma, Tammy and her team made me feel reassured all would work out and Yekutiel did not hesitate and got on the phone with his setter and told me to come back by 4:30. Mind. Freaking. Blown. They did a magnificent job of setting my diamonds into my new setting but they were also very impressed by the craftsmanship of my custom ring setting. Because it was an emergency situation, I was ready to pay over $1K for this service but the bill was not even close to that number. As the owner said, he is in the business of making people happy not price gauging his customers. The BEST in the jewelry business and I'm so looking forward to going back to get an actual custom piece made there very soon too!

The diamonds in the window delicately glisten as you walk by, and they invite you to try them on with the subtle whisper of their light. When I finally walked in, I knew this was the place for me.

    Absolutely obsessed with my ring…read more My fiancé and I stopped by in August to the lovely showroom. We were greeted by Nick. Nick was very friendly, personable, and patient. He let us try on multiple rings and look at various diamonds in our price range. I was happy to give the go ahead to my then boyfriend that this would be the jeweler I would like my ring from. The diamond and setting are beautiful! I can't stop staring. I cannot wait to go back and design our wedding bands. I will definitely continue to use them as a jeweler and recommend them to my friends and family. Best holiday season ever Brittney *also went back for our wedding bands and we absolutely love them.

Greg has seamlessly facilitated the purchase of diamonds even when we moved over 3 hours away from the City. MOST IMPORTANTLY, Greg is a person of integrity and honesty. My husband purchased my engagement ring from Greg and I recently knocked out a diamond. The local jeweler said the entire ring should be reset because of wear and tear with a cost of $2,000 for the rebuild. I wanted to have Greg repair it and sent it to him. He said that the damage was minor, and repaired it at no cost. I believe the local jeweler had untoward motives, and was fraudulently trying to bill me for a minor issue. I will not buy diamonds from anyone but GREG SAMELA and KENT JEWELERS!!!!
