Cheryl and Steve are really kind folks with AMAZING taste. My fiance and I started working with them for my engagement ring, and then Steve designed our wedding bands. I never imagined strangers would stop me on the street to compliment the design of my engagement ring! Steve did a great job interpreting our vision, and it was overall a really amazing experience. Buying jewelry is really intimidating. If you've started researching, you know this to be true.. especially when it comes to really important pieces, like your wedding jewelry! You can trust Theseos to work with you and guide you towards making the best decisions financially and aesthetically. For our first visit, we sat down and looked at a bunch of pieces and stones I saw online, and we went from there. They made everything enjoyable and stress-free. I completely trust them and look forward to working with them again in the future. read more

The Seos are a lovely couple with a passion for helping their clients find their perfect piece of timeless jewelry. My (now) husband worked extensively with the Seos to design and create my engagement ring. He raves how knowledgeable they were in helping him choose the best diamond (cut/color etc) and how they were also mindful of his budget without pressuring him. The result was my perfect engagement ring... I kid you not, after my husband proposed, I kept exclaiming, "How did you know? How did you know that this is exactly what I wanted?!" Yes. The Seos are THAT good! From our wedding bands to earrings, we have only trusted the Seos to make our jewelry. We have thus recommended them to many of our friends and they have similarly been so impressed by the Seos' professionalism and expert care! With so many choices in New York for jewellers, the Seos are trustworthy, knowledgeable and go above and beyond to find you the perfect piece of jewelry for yourself or your loved ones. read more

Theseos made my fiance's engagement ring and it came out absolutely stunning. She was going for a very particular vintage look and they got it done perfectly. Steve was extremely helpful and patient throughout the whole process. He answered all my questions (and I had a lot) in a very timely manner. Bottom line -- customer service was flat out amazing. My fiance and I are using Theseos for all our jewelry and watch needs. He fixed the bracelet on my Rolex watch and did the appraisal for our ring. I'm sure I'll be going back to them for more stuff in the future. read more

After an intro/recommendation by a friend, Mr. & Mrs. Seo were the private NYC jewelers I relied on when searching for my custom engagement ring. Upon meeting them during the initial consultation, I could immediately tell that they were warm, genuine people that were truly passionate about helping their clients. They explained the entire process, shared their own experience and recommendations, provided status updates, and were readily available if I had any questions. Further, they were flexible in terms of where to meet and also had an office in the diamond district as well. Long story short, I proposed to my fiancé a few months later and she was absolutely blown away by the ring that was crafted by the Seos. I could not have asked for a better outcome! I highly, highly recommend the Seos for all your fine jewelry needs! read more

The Seos are AMAZING. I had a terrible experience with the jeweler we worked with for my engagement and wedding rings and long story short, Steve was incredibly helpful in getting my rings back to the condition they should've been. Through this entire process I really learned just how important it is to be able to trust your jeweler whole heartedly and that is what I found with the Seos. They truly build their business on a foundation of integrity, quality and attention to detail which is so hard to find in the diamond district. After my horrendous experience with my previous jeweler I couldn't recommend the Seos enough to my family and friends. My friend got a beautiful engagement ring designed by Steve, another got a ring custom engraved for her husband, and most recently my brother-in-law and new sister-in-law purchased their wedding bands from them and they were all ecstatic about how everything turned out. Don't bother looking elsewhere and getting traumatized by the many diamond district businesses that try to take advantage of you- the Seos got you covered for all your jewelry needs. read more

There's a couple of basic good practices for buying diamonds. The first is always to compare the entire diamond market when making your purchase. Remember every jeweler is just a middle man and they should be competing on service. Rare carrat and blue nile can get you a pretty good idea of what to purchase. The second is to always check the full GIA certificate before you make a purchase. Type the GIA # into google to get a good idea about the stone and compare it to others. If someone is hesitant to give you the Gia certificate in full.. run... Steve wouldn't give me the full GIA certificate under any circumstances. Claiming and I quote: "I know you are not going to do this but there's someone that 'is' comparing prices all over the places." After a brief phone conversation, he claimed he can't compete on prices to larger retailers so he doesn't want to lose a sale by giving out the GIA certificate numbers. Avoid shady business practices like these. read more

Steve was a great adviser when picking an engagement ring and provided a great product at a reasonable price! My fiance really likes the ring and consistently gets comments on the result! read more

I found The Seos through a recommendation from two different friends within the same community. Both got their engagement rings from The Seos, and I did not have a lot of time to shop around, so I trusted them and went to The Seos for both my engagement ring and, subsequently, my wedding bands. I only interacted with Steve Seo throughout my experience. I started off knowing virtually nothing about engagement rings, but I was lucky that my significant other had described exactly what she wanted to one of her close friends who happened to be knowledgeable about these things, so I was able to speak to the friend first and relay to Steve what I was looking for. I also provided Steve with my budget. Steve was successful in finding a diamond that suited my needs. He was very respectful of my budget and never pressured me to change what I was looking for. That said, he was able to educate me as to which variables of a diamond should be prioritized, and in so doing he was able to guide the search process. Steve was very patient and accommodating throughout the process. We met many times (especially after the engagement) and Steve offered many complimentary services such as polishing, resizing, etc. I also appreciated that he was flexible in coordinating meetings with me and my fiancee when we could not visit him at his office. All in all, I was satisfied with my experience, but as I did not shop around anywhere else, I only have this single point of reference. That said, the one memorable thing I appreciated was that The Seos will put in a mini light into their ring boxes that automatically switch on when the box is opened - extremely helpful when I proposed in pitch darkness under the Northern Lights! read more

If I'm making a big purchase, I will go in depth in the details and research as much as I can as well as look for comparables. Steve, the owner, was super accommodating showing me various stones as well as giving me his honest opinion and industry knowledge. At no point was he pushy and if I was very interested in a stone or ring from another jeweler, he'd encourage it as long as I was aware of the full specs. Ultimately I went with him because he found me a beautiful 2.4 carat that was super eye clean and allowed me to get the best bang for buck. Additionally the craftsmanship on the setting was A-1 as he's super detail oriented and has an eye for design. read more

So I had gone to a jewelry store that my dad went to 35 years ago for his engagement ring to my mom. I wanted to get educated about diamonds before I went out and bought one. I did find a ring I liked however the price seemed a bit too high for its value. My best friend referred me to Steve Seo and I couldn't have been more happy to have gone with him. From start to finish the process was straight forward and the information provided was exactly what the other jeweler explained thats been in the business for over 35 years. So I knew I was getting the truth and nothing but that. I wasn't too sure how the custom ring process worked, but now I don't think i'll do anything but custom. He worked with the designs I wanted to incorporate and made a dream into reality. The finished result was so incredible I cant describe how thrilled I was. Steve was even able to work with my less than a month due date. If your looking for a custom ring THESEOS NYC is your one stop shop for all your custom needs! read more

I had my wife's engagement ring and wedding band done with Steve and after a meeting several different jewelers in the diamond district; I truly believe he is the MOST HONEST person in the business. I'm also purchasing a Rolex watch from him as well. He helped me choose which style and gave me thorough insight on which would provide the best value. read more

I went in doing my research; however, working with The Seos really opened my eyes even more! They were not only a pleasure to work with, but also the ring we designed came out amazing. I cannot express how thankful I am to have been introduced to them. The entire experience was easy and they were so understanding of my crazy schedule and needs. 10/10 would recommend and should a friend ask where my fiance got her ring, I will definitely send them this way! read more

Armed with skepticism and cynicism of the whole industry, I shrugged at the idea of meeting a jeweler. I needed an engagement ring and I thought, why not? At worst, I'll walk out being affirmed of my notion of the industry. At best, maybe a ring? I walked out with a ring. Prior to meeting Mr. Seo (Steve), I had already experienced the diamond district and logged hours upon hours of research (james allen/blue nile). For months, I had several rings in my cart, ready to be purchased. While these experiences helped me understand what i wanted, it didn't sit well with me that i was purchasing something so incredibly symbolic via internet. I wanted to do more than punch my credit card number and click "purchase" I wanted to know and feel the diamond that I was purchasing (weird, huh?). And then I met Steve at Theseos. For nearly two hours, he went over two diamonds that fell in my price range and specification(s). He showed me the diamond in different light settings (color - not beaming, misleading white light that you find in stores and online). He showed me the different angles of the diamond (cut). He offered to show the GIA ID on the diamond. Showed me the inner beauty and the reality of the imperfections of the diamond (clarity). He let me hold it, feel it, and get to know it. He explained the depth, the table percentage, and the importance of fluorescence. Though the 4 C's are important, there are other details to a diamond that are JUST as important that contributes to the beauty of a diamond. Steve went out of his way to show me all this (he didn't have to) but that just shows what type of business he does. He was frank and did not force anything on me. I felt safe to make any decision that I wanted. At the end of the day, I proposed and my fiancée simply cannot stop looking at the rock. I can't. it catches the eyes and I'm 150% glad i went with Theseos. read more

The Seos are truly amazing! I am 100 % satisfied with my purchase! I recently had a great experience in purchasing a ring for myself. The ring was even more beautiful than I imagined. They are very trustworthy and really suggest you something that fit your style and personality. I would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone. You won't be disappointed :) read more

TheSeos is very dedicated to the work and really wants to make sure you and your loved ones absolutely love the end product. They stay within your budget and provide very sincere advice about the stones and the design. We learned so much from listening to Steve about diamonds for 10 minutes. He's not a business man but a true connoisseur and lover of beautiful, quality jewelry. It is well worth your time to have a consultation and see for yourself. They cater to your needs and even offer to meet you outside their office if necessary. It was a very satisfying experience working with TheSeos. They don't just make jewelry for engagement. read more

I recently worked with Steve from Theseos for a Christmas gift for my Goddaughter. This was the best experience I have ever had in buying jewelry. I contacted Steve to get a quote on the piece of jewelry I wanted made, he gave me an amazing price and also gave me a few design choices. He was really open to taking all of my suggestions and staying open and honest through the entire process. There was not a point in our experience where he tried to make a sale to me rather he was incredibly informative and respectful of my budget and what I wanted. He not only gave me information on the piece I commissioned he was also incredibly informative about any questions on a few other pieces I had in mind for future purchases. When I got the final piece it was even more beautiful than I expected. Not only was the piece itself gorgeous, the presentation was incredible. Steve shipped the item to me and it got to me in one day in an incredibly beautiful box that had a light inside that spotlighted the pendant so it looked spectacular. I would 100% buy from Theseos again, and would recommend Steve to anyone looking to buy jewelry. read more

I was looking for an engagement ring and was intimidated to go into just any jewelry store in the diamond district. I've heard horror stories of sales people trying to push out sub-par quality rings just to make a quick buck and to push out leftover inventory. I was recommended to reach out to Steve (the owner) and I'm so glad I did. Even from the initial consultation, he made me feel like family. He guided me every step of the way and I appreciated his knowledge and honest opinion. He is truly an expert at his craft and he always strives for perfection. I had such a positive experience here and Theseos will always be my first recommendation to all my friends in the future. read more

Theseos, highly recommended. Cheryl & Steve have a gifted ability to combine creativity with timelessness, resulting in customized elegance. They put the time in to understand the customer's preferences and are patient & flexible with timing and location. A great experience for an anniversary upgrade. read more
