My friend's mom is a jeweler in NJ and she recommended Dennis for my engagement ring needs. I've been coming here for a few years now, once or twice for a repair, and every six months or so for a ring "checkup" as it's antique. They're always very kind, friendly and reasonable. Definitely recommend! read more

Honest, trustworthy, great customer service!!! Thanks Dennis, love my jewelry... read more

We loved working with Dennis and his team at Solitaire Creations. We walked in with an idea and he designed the perfect engagement ring! It is exactly what I wanted. Obviously, we had to come back for an equally beautiful wedding band. I could not recommend them more! read more

I learned that Dennis was the jeweler of my former manager's mother & family for 20+ years and I figured if he's good enough for my boss's mom, he's good enough for me. Upon meeting him in his showroom, I think his first words to me were something like, "Have a seat and let's get to know each other," which caught me by surprise. He was not the typical jewelry salesman I met over and over again. Dennis had prepared a spread of diamonds for us to examine based on pretty specific criteria I shared with him beforehand. They were all beautiful but none really seemed to call my name. He must have picked up on something during this time so he called one of his suppliers and passed on my feedback. Within 10-15 minutes, one of the assistants delivered another stone and after some more examining, I knew I found the one (I probably saw a total of 20+ diamonds with other jewelers). After shaking hands (and to my surprise again), Dennis invited me to stay and a short while later introduced me to both the ring maker and stone setter. All in all, it was definitely a custom and personal experience. TL/DR - will return for wedding bands and would encourage others to check him out!

The people who run and work for Solitaire are the salt of the earth. I have been using them as my go to jeweler for about 16 years. They set my engagement ring, sold us our wedding bands, they also sold us assorted jewelry including my older daughter's gold ID bracelet and diamond studs. My mother also bought jewelry from them and had several pieces custom made. They have done a ton of repairs and appraisals for me. They are honest and ethical in an industry where that is the exception as opposed to the rule. I have complete peace of mind when I shop with Solitaire. read more

I have been working with Dennis Marlow from Solitaire Creations in New York for the past four years. He helped me design my engagement ring when we happened to find his store on our family trip. We drove to New York from visiting Canada where I had just gotten engaged. I have to say this is the most amazing jeweler I've ever met and I don't know that there are any that are as honest and genuine as him. I've done quite a bit of research and have not found any company that can compete with their service, quality, and prices. It has been an amazing experience working with him from where I live in Florida and he will be my jeweler for life. I highly recommend anyone use this company. They will put just about anything together for you which is just amazing. I was just able to design my wedding bands for my wedding in January 2016, and they came out beautiful. read more

Going ring shopping is not easy when you have no idea what you're doing and have 5 other woman coming with you. Dennis made picking out the ring style, looking at diamonds and everything else an extremely smooth process. he stayed late a few times to accommodate my busy work schedule and even gave me pizza which was pretty awesome. His team was available anytime I had a question and answered them extremely fast and proficiently. If you're like me and need help with everything or if you already have an idea but need a "diamond guy" Dennis is that person. You won't be disappointed. I bought my engagement ring from him and will be going back for the wedding bands and other jewelery needs. Top notch quality and an all around awesome guy. read more

My fiancé, Michael, went to Solitaire Creations for my engagement ring last year, in November 2014. Dennis was recommended to us and we are so glad we decided to work with him! From beginning to end, he made the process easy for Michael and explained to him step by step the importance of each quality of a diamond. Dennis designed the most amazing, beautiful ring and helped Mike pick out the most stunning diamond! I was so pleased with the ring. When it came time to pick out our wedding bands, there was no hesitation to go to Solitaire. We tried on many different styles, with Dennis & other associates telling us about all of the perks of each type of ring. He helped us pick out the most perfect wedding bands! While there trying on rings, I realized there was something I would like changed about my engagement ring. Dennis took the engagement ring to be fixed, and had all three rings (engagement ring, my wedding band, and my fiancé's band) ready in less than 2.5 weeks! We went in, we tried them on to make sure the size were perfect, and he engraved them that day in under an hour while we went to see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree. Dennis took one of the most exciting and special experiences in our lives and made it perfect. I wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you Dennis & Solitaire Creations! read more

I'll start this review by saying that I wish Yelp had an option for more than 5 stars, because my experience purchasing my engagement ring through Dennis was one of the most seamless, and enjoyable experiences I've had with any large purchase. Dennis took the time to custom design a ring that met every expectation I had, and more. He listened to what I was thinking from a design perspective, and then came up with something that was exactly what I had envisioned. Not only was he able to create a custom ring, but his customer service is unbelievable. He worked around my busy schedule, met with me late one night, and then early the next morning had a design ready to go. He was then able to finish the ring in record time, accommodating my tight turn around for my proposal. Dennis has long created beautiful jewelry for my family (30+ years) and has managed to exceed expectations on every piece he has created for us. I look forward to working with him for many years to come. If you're looking for a family jeweler that will get the job done properly, Dennis is your guy. read more

My husband and I are Jewelry lover and collectors. we had been purchased from many jeweler at diamonds district in the past . Dennis is the one will go above and beyond to make sure we are happy with any our purchase, and willing to do what ever it takes to correct any issue with our custom made pieces. He's serious about his business and clients. we like him not just our jeweler also as friends. read more

Recently went to Dennis for an engagement ring. He could not have been more helpful, patient, understanding, and just an overall pleasure to work with. This is not an easy process, but Dennis' willingness to walk through the process, lend advice, and make time around a busy schedule made it far less stressful. Not to mention, Dennis has clearly been in this business a long time because of his commitment to developing a longstanding relationship with his clients, not just pushing/selling to get you in and out. He also worked with my timeline and was able to create the perfect custom setting very quickly! Cant thank Dennis and his team enough. Highly recommend! read more

Dennis offered amazing customer service when picking out my now-fiance's engagement ring. He found the perfect ring that would suit my price range without compromising what I knew I wanted. He even suggested I shop around if I wasn't sure- which means he really wants his clientele to be happy, even if it's not with him. I was treated like family. Ultimately, I knew there was no other place to buy from but here. My fiancé loved the ring and the day was pure magic! Thank you Dennis!! Wedding band shopping next!! read more

Dennis is a master at his craft and truly has a passion for jewelry. He helped me find the right engagement ring in no time and explained to me in detail what I was getting. No one does it better, he truly cares about each individual experience like it's his own family and I couldn't ask for anything more! If you're reading this you might as well make a date to see him because this is the place you want to go. read more

Dennis is incredible. I can not recommend him highly enough. He put together a wedding ring that appraised for a full 25% higher than he charged us, and he has been nothing but forthright and honest and kind since day one. Do yourself a favor and go to Dennis for anything and everything you need. I refuse to go anywhere else from now on. read more

Dennis and his team the best you could ask for. When I went to him for an engagement ring, all I had to do was tell him the shape and price range I was working with and he went to work. Dennis took the time to go through many diamonds with me to make sure we found the perfect one for my fiancé. Within a few short weeks, the ring was ready and looked better than I could have ever imagined. He truly cares about his work product and his clients. He couldn't wait to hear how the proposal went and what my fiancé thought of the ring. With my fiancé working within the fine jewelry business, I knew It would have to be perfect and Dennis' work was nothing short of it. read more

Went here on a recommendation of a jewelry maker friend of mine to have my wedding band resized and engraved. She said, "I wouldn't trust my jewelry with anyone else." Considering that our wedding rings are the most expensive piece of jewelry that either my fiance or I have ever known, we wanted to take them to a place we could trust. There's a lot of sheisters out there! The place is tucked into a "multi-plex" type of store, they are just one counter. Not big. We worked with Steve, a tall african-american man. He was great! Very courteous and perceptive to our needs and our relationship, that this was a big deal for us. Their prices were very reasonable! to have 2 rings sized and engraved cost us $50 total. Very quick turnaround also. Would highly recommend to friends. read more

Dennis, created the perfect customized ring for me. I highly recommend him for all of your Diamond and jewelry needs!

My dad has been going to Dennis for my mom's jewelry since day 1 and since then has recommended Dennis to everyone he knows. It's a family tradition! My sister, sister-in-law and now me, all have rings from Dennis. My engagement ring is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen and I've gotten so many compliments on the cut, clarity and overall quality of the diamond. My fiancé says that Dennis made him feel so comfortable in the process, he didn't feel like he was being pushed or pressured into buying anything and that he had fun and relaxing experience. He will be recommending Dennis to all his family and friends in the future to continue the tradition. We cannot thank Dennis enough, and we'll be back for our wedding bands! read more

First, some background. I am a 32 year old Manhattan'ite obsessed with fine jewelry, and even go to gem and jewelry shows twice a year dating back to my teenage years! So, I think it's safe to say I'm a fan of all things glittery :) After my boyfriend (at the time!) and myself made all the rounds meeting with all the jewelers my friends had gotten their rings from, and after activating all the relationships I had built up over time with jewelers from years and years of gem and jewelry shows ... I was referred to Dennis by a woman I barely knew whose ring I noticed and complimented her about. My fiancé & myself met Dennis shortly thereafter and loved (1) His pride in his work (2) His honesty (3) The craftsmanship we saw on the rings he had designed (4) His direct access to quality stones. Long story short, I now have an amazing almost 8 ct diamond eternity band on my finger and I feel strongly that the very best jeweler made it :) read more

I could not be happier with my ring or my experience with Dennis and his lovely wife Robin! My husband went to Dennis with an idea of what he wanted and Dennis created the most perfect ring for me! When I got it I obviously never wanted to take it off, but it was just a bit too big. I ended up going in twice to have it adjusted because I may or may not not have taken Dennis's advice the first time :). They were so incredibly accommodating though and got the ring back to me so quickly both times so I never had to be without it for long! Highly recommend! read more

Dennis and his wife were incredibly helpful and were able to design the ring exactly as my fiancé wanted, after we had trouble with another jeweler. I could not recommend them more. read more

I've purchased two pairs of earrings and three rings from Dennis over the past two years. He is fantastic to work with, has a great eye and is very honest and fair with pricing. Purchasing jewelry in the Diamond District can often be a very overwhelming, unpleasant and opaque process full of pushy salespeople. Not the case with Dennis. He is very patient, kind and does not try to push anyone into a purchase. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends or family (and already have!). read more

Can not say enough great things about working with Dennis. He helped take the stress out of ring shopping and we could not be more thrilled with the finished product. I knew what I was looking for but he took the time to educate me and explain what I was looking at with each stone. It took a couple of trips to find the right stone but he was consultative, helpful, and never once pushy throughout the entire process. Would 100% recommend him to any of my friends and family looking for a trustworthy jeweler. read more

Dennis and Robin are amazing!! They custom made a stunning engagement ring for me. They listen to exactly what you want, are never pushy, and treat you like family. They came highly recommended to me and I'm happy we listened. You won't get service like this at another jeweler just trying to make a buck. TRUST and don't bother looking anywhere else for your jewelry!!! read more

I cannot say enough about my experience with Solitaire and Dennis. Worked with him for several months working on the exact engagement ring I wanted for my girlfriend. I knew very little about diamonds and the process so he walked me through it step-by-step. I was a pain-in-the-ass customer but he was calm and extremely helpful. He makes the rings by hand and it came out PERFECT. I cannot overstate how good the ring came out. Girlfriend was in awe and prob would have said "no" if it wasn't so nice (jk). I highly recommend using Solitaire for your jewelry needs. I am 100% using them for our wedding bands and anything else I may want down the road. Thanks again Dennis. read more

Building a relationship with Dennis over the past three months has been a pleasure. What started as a phone conversation/introduction, turned into a very personal experience and adventure. Dennis accommodated a timeline that I needed to meet. In three weeks we had picked out a beautiful stone and setting and Dennis' turnaround time to complete a custom made piece was nothing short of professional. Great service, great guy... I look forward to introducing my fiance to Dennis and continuing to use him for future purchases. read more

Had a great experience with Dennis so wanted to share a review. If you looking for any diamond, jewelry work, you will not be disappointed with the quality of work at this place!! Dennis is very knowledgable in his craft! I have replaced a former engagement ring setting with a new one that Dennis customized for me. He listened to all my concerns and knew when to offer his advice being an expert. The setting beautifully fits my stone, prongs are much more delicate. Most importantly, the stone is not loose anymore. That was my concern when I came in after having it done elsewhere. The prongs would periodically loosen. Very pleased with the high quality of his work. Will come back for my wedding band! read more

I will ONLY bring people here because I know they will be getting the proper advice and ultimately fair prices. The final product you receive will not disappoint! Dennis will exceed your expectations. If I could I'd give a 6 star review! read more

Dennis was recommended to me by two good friends that bought their rings off of him. They only had great things to say about him and my experience was no different. He was beyond helpful while helping my wife and I navigate through options within the budget. He is very affable and trustworthy and he made the process a lot less stressful than we were expecting it to be. I strongly recommend stopping in to chat and browse at his shop - he is a real pleasure to work with. read more

There is no better place for fine jewelry. I recently purchased my engagement ring here and the quality was beyond perfect. I had done a lot of looking/shopping and no other jeweler came close. I worked with Dennis and Eric to help me create the perfect custom, handmade ring, and both were incredible to work with. They made the entire process so easy and stress free and the level of care and service was beyond expectations. I HIGHLY recommend Solitaire as THE place for jewelry. The quality and the price can't be beat. My fiancee and I will definitely be returning to pick out our wedding bands. Can't wait! read more

Of all the merchants on 47 street Dennis is not one the honest but thy most honest I have ever dealt with. I have dealt with 47 street since 1973. Never been disappointed and neither will you. read more

Two words, Professional & Class! These guys have both! 30yrs Satisfied customer from Orange CT!

I was fortunate enough to hear about Solitaire through a dear friend of mine. I started working with Brian M and he walked me through the entire process. I compared his diamonds and prices to every local store around me and nothing came close on either comparison. I will continue to purchase all my diamonds through him. PS: their settings are absolutely amazing. read more

I can't begin to thank Dennis enough for the engagement ring he recently made for my fiancé and for past pieces of jewelry he's made for me and my family. Its hard to find a jeweler with the vision and creativity he has, anything he's made I've gotten countless compliments on. My fiancé is EXTREMELY picky and gave me pictures of what type of engagement ring she would like but couldn't find a picture of one she thought was that exact one she wanted. Dennis took his time to hear what type of style she likes/ what she doesn't like and made a completely custom ring that he was confident she would love and he was more then right. She said is was the most beautiful ring she has ever seen and constantly amazed by the symmetry and the little details that make it so special. I highly recommend anyone looking for a jeweler that is not only honest but can deliver something truly unique and different from the rest to use Dennis and you will not be disappointed. read more

This was my first time working with Dennis Marlow. He was recommended to me by a close personal friend who spoke incredibly high of Dennis. Dennis did not disappoint and exceeded my every expectation. Not only did he find the perfect diamond for me, he was also able to recommend the perfect setting for my diamond. Exactly what I wanted!! I purchase a very substantial ring from Dennis without seeing it in person, he is in New York and I live in California. Dennis kept me updated with the entire process and sent pictures with updates. I received my ring this week and I was speechless....an amazing job from start to finish. If you are looking for the top notch jeweler in New York, look no further! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!! Justin Johnson read more

Dennis was recommended to me through a good friend who got his rings from him. Went in to meet him and tell him what sort of engagement ring I was looking for. Right off the bat he was extremely helpful and could tell that he was not a pushy salesperson. I gave him my price range and he did not try and show me anything that was outside of it. Ended up getting our wedding bands from him as well. Would highly recommend using them for any of your jewelry needs. read more
