I went to buy a special Christmas/birthday gift for my best friend and upon meeting Eddy Aliyari…read morefrom Kia Jewelers, Inc., he was attentive, communicated well and actually dedicated all of his time to make sure all my inquiries regarding pieces that I asked him to show me from behind the glass, was answered in lamen terms where I would understand where he was coming from. Since I do not work in the diamond industry, I appreciate when a seller explains the metal and the piece's history of why it has the value attached to that item. On my first visit after spending about an hour with Eddy, I didn't feel comfortable purchasing the diamond pendant I was looking at, so I left. My first encounter was during the Christmas holiday. I returned today, after the holidays were over and I was so relieved to see that Eddy Aliyari was at his work station sitting quietly behind the counter doing some jewelry repairs. I greeted him pleasantly and he looked up and was so cordial and kind to me that I knew I had to buy something from him this time. After about half hour in and looking at the initial piece that I saw back in December during the Christmas week, I decided on a different piece which was a 14K white gold necklace with a small round diamond embedded in white gold pendant to go with the white gold chain. Eddy was so patient with me as I asked him to shine it up and wipe the white gold chain for me so that it would shine better and he did without hesitation. The personal treatment he provided to me as I completed the sale, was exceptional. It is a rarity in NYC to find a jeweler that would spend so much time with one customer, specially if they are not sure the customer is going to buy anything at all. My first impression of him was wonderful and coming back today for my second time, my experience was just as nice as my first experience. Eddy even worked with my budget to make sure I would be happy when I left his store. I will return again should I decide I want to buy another diamond charm or gold chain. Eddy made my shopping experience a pleasant one and I would recommend this place should anyone want a kind, honest and attentive jeweler that can be trusted and will work with your budget. He is a good listener too. I also want to mention that Eddy also cleans and repairs your jewelry if needed. He is such a humble and kind man and it was my pleasure doing business with him.

Mr. Aliyari (Eddy) was very personable and asked if I was looking for anything specifically. I showed him two photos of vintage pieces I liked the look of, and he helpfully pointed me towards a beautiful pair of diamond 'ribbon' earrings with the same vibe. The earrings were gold, which I don't typically wear, so he offered to have them rhodium-plated with only a short wait. The resulting earrings are beautiful and even better than the inspiration piece. Pricing was fair, and his service was top-notch.

I couldn't be happier with my experience at HH Jewelry! was in the market for an engagement ring…read morefor my now-fiancé, and Mayer and team were recommend by my boss. 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.

Frank Gabriel does not remember this, but he sold us my engagement ring --and my wedding ring --…read moreback in 1983. Many (many!!) years later, we returned and had my engagement ring remounted in a beautiful Art Deco-like setting that I was only able to wear for several years before arthritis damaged my fingers. Back in '83, two clueless kids were heartsick over the cost of engagement rings when we found Frank. He patiently sat with us, showed us the 4Cs, explained the trade-offs we need to make to afford something we can be happy with. I was delighted with our purchase (yes, I helped pick out my ring) and my husband-to-be was delighted with the cost. I wore my engagement ring every single day (never took it off) for almost 30 years until I couldn't anymore. Frank is patient, knowledgeable, and willing to work within your requirements (i.e., budget, type, etc.) I plan to bring my sons to Frank when they're ready to propose.

Highly recommend and would not go anywhere else.

I first met Jennifer and Michael when they were in their store on East 9th street. We became…read morefriends and I had a ring made for husbands 50th birthday. They took my grandmothers sapphire and put in the most beautiful hammered silver setting with a beautiful 14K gold design around the stone and cascading down the side of the ring. It is truly a work of art. Since then I have had 4 pieces of jewelry made by them and each piece has been more beautiful than the piece prior. Michael and Jennifer worked with us to design our wedding bands and we get the most compliments ever on the unique design. Michael and Jennifer really take the business to the next level with their ability to work with the clients on their design ideas all the way to the execution of the ring or bracelet. They have never shied away from a difficult design and that is what sets them apart from other jewelry designers. Their work is beyond reproach as is their relationships with their clients. I am very happy to have met them and to have had jewelry made by them. I look forward to getting another piece jewelry made by them, and then another, and then another.!!!! Make this your jewelry design center!

This is my go-to place for anything bling-y. For a number of years, I would walk by this tiny UWS…read moregem, with its unassuming window of jewelry--after all, this is NYC and jewelry stores are a dime a dozen. One day I decided to stop and look--and saw the most gorgeous ruby, diamond, and gold earrings. I coveted those earrings for more than six months, always stopping at the window to peek in and see if they were still there. Finally I decided I could wait no longer and a few weeks before my birthday I decided to finally set foot in the store. On the pretense of having some jewelry repaired, I chatted with the always charming jeweler, Harmeet Singh. I screwed up my courage to ask about the earrings in the window--and after trying them on, I splurged and bought them! I treasure these stunning earrings, which, years later, still make me smile. And I still bring Harmeet all my jewelry to repair and alter--and sometimes treat myself to one of his unique creations. Thanks for many years of delightful interactions and excellent craftsmanship and care!
