Had some pieces of jewelry I wanted to change /combine, and get some mounting ideas for a loose gemstone. Although not a massive consumer of jewelry, I do enjoy looking, trying on and admiring. A jeweler I have used and had consulted with before was not rocking my boat, neither in concept or price, so just let it go. Birthday & holidays come around think maybe I should see what is out there, again. Do a local search, like to support small local business, and prefer to avoid mall stores. UNIQUE comes up, liked the website and concept, was familiar with the area, figured give it a try without any real sense of expectation. Well so glad I did. Nice clean contemporary space, with beautiful and some funky pieces of jewelry. But the true "gem" is Mike, he is so affable, and easy to work with. He does not make you feel like your suggestions are silly or unimportant, he guides, recommends, and informs you so you will be delighted with your final masterpiece. I love, love, love my ring it came out better than I imagined, and purchased a unique rosary bracelet I wear almost every day as well. And as for pricing the fact that I went ahead with the project testifies that he is fair and realizes if jewelry was more affordable, people would buy more of it. When the time is right will beeline to UNIQUE for the next project. read more

We were in the market for an upgrade to my engagement ring and my husband came across this jewelry store and so we decided to check it out based on all of the great reviews we read. We were not disappointed! From the first impromptu walk-in consultation we knew that we wanted to work with Mike (the owner/jeweler) to build a custom engagement ring. The entire process was so special. We were able to sit down with Mike and really hone in on the overall design of the piece. From beginning to end, Mike gave us the creative control but also advised us accordingly. For example, each time we came in to view the diamonds (that he carefully selected for us based on our preferences), I learned something new about diamonds. I really appreciated the transparency. I know the tradition is for a man to pick the engagement ring but ladies you are missing out on feeling like a celebrity or a jewelry designer! Working with someone as dedicated, knowledgeable and personable as Mike has made this experience that much more memorable. In the end, my ring turned out so beautiful that each time I look at it, it is as if I am seeing it for the first time. I would highly recommend Unique Gold & Diamonds to any soon-to-be engagement couple or for any of your other jewelry needs. This store is truly a gem (pun intended). :) read more

Came here to sell some old jewelry that's been sitting around for years with no personal attachment it was finally decided to part ways. I called and spoke with Mike who was very straightforward. I missed out that day but went the next. Not sure if it was just me but I was getting a New Orleans vibe which is not bad. It's a cool little store and its busy. Not one person walked in without knowing Mike from what I observed. Honestly I was directed and went to him based on Google Reviews. So he has 5.0 stars and yes, well deserved. I had the same exact pieces that Mike offered 20% more than 2 others buyers. I had a ballpark figure of what I had in my posession based on the last 2 stores yet 20% more was a no brainer for me. Yes gold is up, yes it holds its value for its entire history, sure Mike will either sell these pieces or he will get them together and sell everything when the price is right. That's what he does. I was very happy with his offer, his obvious known presence from customers and his honesty. There is one piece I have no interest in selling but Mike did give me a great idea which will lead me back. My personal experience was great and I do highly recommend and suggest this hidden gem if you are looking to dispose of unwanted jewelry. Thank you Mike. I will be back. read more

After hearing such great things about this store, I decided to take a trip and visit Unique Gold and Diamonds. As soon as I walked in the door, I was immediately greeted my the owner, Mike. I explained that I was looking to have an anniversary designed for my upcoming anniversary. My husband hates jewelry shopping, so he left it up to me to buy what I wanted. Mike showed me samples of rings that were similar what I had envisioned, and explained to me why one style would look better than another to go along with my engagement and wedding ring. I really appreciated Mike's honesty. With his knowledge and expertise, Mike was able to design the ring of my dreams at a cost much below what any other jewelry store had quoted me. What I also really appreciated was that there wasn't pressure to buy something. Before I left, Mike noticed that my wedding and engagement ring were a bit dirty. He cleaned and polished them at no charge! My custom ring was delivered right on time, and it's absolutely beautiful! My overall experience was fantastic. I have been recommending Mike and Unique Gold and Diamonds to family, friends and anyone that comments on my new ring (and I have received lots of comments)! read more

I met Mike the first time I came in here back in 2017 to see what kind of price they would offer on me on a broken gold chain I was trying to sell. Immediately upon meeting him I could tell he was a really cool dude and in addition to being very friendly and charismatic, Mike was very knowledgeable and definitely gave me the impression that he really knew what he was talking about as well. He even offered to clean the gold chain I was wearing while I waited free of charge. I recently returned to Unique to purchase an engagement ring for my fiancé. This time Mike and the guys at Unique really went above and beyond because they basically crafted the ring from scratch using nothing except the diamond I provided that was passed down to me from my mother. They ended up creating a beautiful ring that worked with my budget and ended up making several last-minute modifications to satisfy the wants of my indecisive fiancé that were all free of additional charge. She and I are both extremely satisfied and happy and are planning to return here in the future for my wedding band! I would highly recommend Mike and the guys at Unique if you are looking for professional work with excellent customer service! read more

By the way, Michael is a jeweler and a yogi too! My 2 friends & I wanted 'grown up girlfriend bracelets' reflecting our supportive relationship for each other. We decided to use our initials A -R- K, but had no idea what else we wanted. Then we went to see Michael who patiently listened to 3 women decide on 1 style of bracelet that he had to create in 3 different sizes. He custom designed the bracelets, even setting the little diamonds in each of the individual letters. Plus he found the most unique chain that sparkles like diamonds. It's called a half moon cut beaded chain. Gorgeous and UNIQUE! He really made all 3 of us very happy! Of course while we were there, we found rings, a rosary bead designed bracelet, half moon cut beaded necklaces and also had repairs done to some of our older jewelry. He even polished up our wedding bands and diamonds and treated us warmly. We love him! Later I had all of my DYurman jewelry shined up and everything looks brand new! He's honest and the kind of person that we all like to do business with. Thanks Michael! We appreciate you and love to tell everyone who made our bracelets etc. Namaste, Kate (the K of A-R-K) read more

Buying an engagement ring can be extremely stressful. However, creating my engagement ring at Unique Gold & Diamonds made the process incredibly stress free and enjoyable. I had the pleasure of working with Mike and Alexa. From my first meeting with them, my comfort level was superb. I was provided an in depth education on each step of the design process. I visited other jewelry stores, per Mike's recommendation. Needless to say, other places did not compare. Throughout the entire process, I always had peace of mind as Mike goes above and beyond for his clients. Mike built my engagement ring completely from scratch. He assisted me with selecting every individual diamond that went into the piece while keeping my vision in mind. Mike and his staff have a passion for what they do. They were always available, extremely helpful and have great visions and ideas. I couldn't be happier with my experience. I intend to continue to visit Unique Gold & Diamonds for maintenance on my engagement ring and jewelry needs moving forward. I highly recommend anyone who is in the process of buying an engagement ring to visit Unique Gold & Diamonds. read more

I recently stopped by just to have a very sentimental ring resized/touched up and now have a permanent place to get all my jewelry tended to. Michael was respectful, patient, and kind throughout the entire process and Fazal's craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing! For a 25 year old ring thats been all around the globe it had pretty good wear and tear with scratches inside and out, yet it came back as if it was fresh off a display with a perfect fit, mirror shine, and not a single blemish! I can't wait to stop by again because I felt so welcome through out the whole process and because I always learned something new and fascinating each visit. In summary, the customer service is unforgettable and way better than what I'm used to seeing in other places. The building is in excellent condition and was decorated beautifully for the holidays. There's no other place that I could recommend to someone who is looking to get what THEY want and not the closest thing to it (which has happened to me before in the past). Thanks again to UG&D for helping revive a priceless family heirloom that will last many more years to come! read more

My wife and I have been working with Michael from Unique Gold and Diamonds for two years and he never disappoints! We have purchased 4 rings from Michael (two engagement and two wedding bands) and all four rings are perfect. When I first began shopping around for my wife's engagement ring, I was a bit nervous as a first time ring buyer. Michael took his time to explain everything and never pressured me buy or spend more than what I budgeted for. Even after you purchase your jewelry, Michael stays in touch regarding sizing, polishing, diamond replacements, etc. He cleaned and polished our rings for the wedding day (even though I purchased the ring two years prior). He works well with deadlines and ensures that you are getting the right piece of jewelry for you. Michael is professional, personable, trustworthy, and patient. I highly recommend Unique Gold and Diamonds to anyone who is shopping for a ring or any piece of fine jewelry. If i could give Unique Gold and Diamonds 10 stars, i would. The service is unmatched. read more

Excellent! If you are shopping for an engagement ring look no further. I had a very specific ring design in mind for my fiance. After visiting multiple jewelers in the Tri-State area and being turned down, I stopped in at "Unique". Mike was very professional in his consultation and we agreed that he would "build the ring" from scratch, and had no reservations about the project. Specifically, we wanted a basket setting with a medium / low height so that it's more "comfortable" in daily tasks. Timing and pricing were very competitive, especially for a custom made ring. The end result was spectacular!!! Mike's craftsmanship was superb, and Fazil set the stone perfectly. We love the ring, and my fiance hasn't stopped receiving compliments about it since. I highly recommend working with Mike and Fazil as they are highly knowledgeable, competitively priced, exhibit top-class craftsmanship, customer service, and they truly seem to care about their customers. read more

Brought in my engagement ring for a little fine tuning, i was having a terrible reaction to i tiny dot of Rose gold that was under my setting. It also was too big but i was worried about losing my engraving. Fazal was able to offer great options at a great price! I was avoiding getting it fixed bc i was scared of how expensive it would be. Or have someone take advantage of my lack of knowledge. But i immediately felt like these guys were different. When I picked up my ring Fazal and Mike were there and when I saw my ring it was even more then i could hope for. They took such amazing care of us and even threw in a little surprise for me I did not hesitate to leave another ring that needed some love bc there is just no one better then these guys. Cant wait to pick up my new diamond i purchased! Dont hesitate to bring your jewelry here and make sure you check out their amazing collection for sale. The hardest part is trying not to buy everything!!! read more

My fiancé and I feel beyond lucky to have found Unique Gold & Diamonds in Clifton, NJ in our search for the perfect engagement ring. Michael, the founder, spent time with us over a series of three appointments, during which he listened to our needs, provided his expert advice, and answered our many questions. He was always attentive, personable, kind, professional, and never rushed us. He conducted himself with integrity, never attempting to upsell us or sway our decision. He provided us with a great price for a custom-made ring, for which he sourced the raw materials (diamond, metals) and machined himself. After we finalized the design, the turnaround was super quick -- the ring was ready in just under a week. Overall, our experience was top notch, 10/10. And of course, the final product could not be more perfect. We will always be grateful and remember Michael and Unique Gold & Diamonds as part of our story. read more

I went to Unique Gold & Diamonds to purchase two wedding bands after being brutally ripped off at Jared's a few years ago. If you're thinking about purchasing engagement rings or wedding bands at a chain, like Jared's or Kay Jewelers, you should just not get married, because the money you spend on those rings will cancel out the economic benefit of marriage entirely. Anyway- I sat down with Mike, who was both patient and informative, and we were able to order two amazing rings for about 40% less than I would have spent at Jared's (I f***king hate you, Jareds). I would highly recommend you purchase expensive pieces like wedding bands at a place like Unique Gold and Diamonds. Mike is super knowledgeable and will make you feel at home from the moment you step in his store. It's a totally different experience then you'll get at a chain in the mall (still f***king hate you Jareds- hope you go out of business). read more

I bought my fiance's engagement ring from here and I only have positive things to say about my experience working with the staff. I mostly worked with Mike throughout the process. He tailored his diamonds to specific attributes my fiance cared about. For example, my fiance deeply cared about the cut but was willing to sacrifice on the clarity. Mike made sure he found the diamond she loved without trying to push us to spend exorbitant amounts of money on things she honestly did not care about. He carefully explained all of the attributes about the diamonds and was extremely patient when we asked questions. Last but not least, he even texted me that the 'diamond was not ready to pick up' so my fiance would not suspect when I would propose to her. Talk about coming in clutch. If you're looking for a place to purchase a ring, there's no place (and we shopped around) I would rather recommend. read more

Absolutely Awesome. I stopped in here based on reviews and i am sure glad that i did. I have never been into a jewelry store (and ive been to many) where i have felt more welcomed, comfortable, and felt such sincerity. Mike is just fantastic. He was extremely honest, and took time out of his busy day to teach me the differences between different metals, diamonds, etc. He was patient and kind. Not to mention the jewelry is absolutely stunning. My mother and i were truly blown away by some of the unique and custom made pieces. This is a person that genuinely loves what he does and takes pride in his work! I HIGHLY recommend anyone go stop in and you will have a pleasant experience. Anyone looking to sell gold, buy an engagement ring, or any other piece of jewelry, this is your place!! Great people great prices .. cant beat it. I cannot wait to go back! Thank you Mike your help!!! read more

Wonderful service and wonderful people. I needed a family heirloom ring resized for my fiancé. The gentlemen there told me about the unique qualities of the ring and the diamond, gave me options on what could be done and gave me their overall opinions. Then, not only did they resize, they kept the same unique look on the underside that I was afraid was going to be lost. They also polished the 30 year old ring and had it looking brand new. They then showed me what they recommended in terms of upkeep, and I purchased a liquid solution they kept on site at a very reasonable price. Everything was for a reasonable price! I never once felt pressured and the vibe was one that was very friendly without becoming intrusive. I cannot recommend this Unique Gold And Diamonds enough. Thank you so much for making my engagement a truly special one. read more

I bought my wife's engagement ring from the owner Mike, it was fully custom made to order, exactly what she wanted. We couldn't be happier with the finish product honestly! After this first experience we had to purchase a Matching wedding band for her to compliment this perfect engagement ring as well as ordering a fully custom wedding band for myself, both completely flawless in design, extremely high quality stones & metals.I have an eye for detail and these pieces of jewelry offered at Unique please in every way. I can tell they know what they are doing! The individuals at Unique Gold and Diamonds go above and beyond to satisfy New customers, Pre existing customers, referred customers, walk in customers, every customer is treated like family At Unique!! Trust me bring your business to Unique Gold And Diamonds. read more

My fiance and I were referred to Mike at Unique Gold and Diamonds by my dad when we were looking for our wedding bands for our upcoming wedding. My engagement ring had been purchased at another jeweler that was a bit of a drive away and one of the prongs had broken, so we went to Mike to see if he could fix it and take a look at wedding bands as well. We had a fantastic experience! The staff is very friendly and professional and my engagement ring came back good as new, and super quickly too! We just picked up our wedding bands that Mike had custom made and they are beautiful, we can't wait to wear them! They also took the time to clean all the jewelry I will be wearing during my wedding and it looks perfect! I highly recommend going to Unique and I will definitely be returning for my jewelry needs in the future! read more

Michael was super from start to finish. Friendly and professional on the phone and in person too. I own a gold ring, but it was quite bent up when I inherited it. Too bent up to wear, that was for sure. I didn't know how long I would have to wait to learn if this ring could even be wearable again, but I was in and out with my ring within an hour. Michael really did a super job, and I couldn't believe that this was the same ring that I brought in. Beautifully reshaped and polished. It fits so well, and I'm proud to finally wear it. The price was completely affordable too. My day was absolutely made. Thank you, Michael! I definitely recommend this business. (It's also a well-maintained place. Inside and out, the building's pleasant to look at and be in, which I appreciated.) read more
