    Update: So here is the full story on New York Jewelers. My husband purchased my engagement ring and wedding band in May of 2016. Within a year my ring began literally falling apart, we brought it in to be fixed because it basically bent in half and a diamond on the side fell off. At that time we also paid to have my band and engagement ring fused together, as a suggestion from New York Jewelers themselves in order to strengthen the ring. We PAID for the rings to be fused together AS WELL AS the repairs. Not long after that I noticed the ring had shifted and the halo looked like it was bent, and yet another diamond on the band had falling off. So we came back again to address the issue, this time we were told there’s no problem with the ring, and it was handed back to us all shined up. As time went on I noticed this more and more and decided to get another opinion from a reputable jeweler, who looked at the ring and told me not to wear the ring because I was close to losing my diamond. After hearing this alarming information, I then proceeded to bring the ring to THREE other jewelers who ALL told me the same exact thing. Two different jewelers even told me how they’ve had OTHER customers from New York Jewelers with similar issues, they also explained to me how New York Jewelers has their rings made in China, and they also sell used items, they suggested I bring my ring back to New York Jewelers and speak to them because they sold my husband a faulty ring. So that’s what we did. That’s when the nightmare began starting with the run around by Darryl the “manufacturing manager” who again tried saying nothing was wrong with the ring (until we literally had to show him ourselves), to him lying and saying he was going to “help us” with the ring problem, to not calling me when he said he would, to the salesman going through our information on file and CALLING the person who recommended us to New York Jewelers to gain information on my husband and I, to Steve another “store manager” calling me up today, accusing me of having work done at other places besides New York jewelers ( even though I have ALL the documentation of every bit of work done at NYJ, including photos of my ring each instance) to telling me he wants no relationship with me because we haven’t purchased any other jewelers from them in the last 3 years— basically saying since we only bought one item they could care less about us as customers. These people literally ripped my husband off, lied, screamed at me, and took our money and refused to fix or replace the ring. Do yourselves a favor and avoid this place at all costs. There are so many other reputable jewelers out there who actually care about their customers and quality of jewelry. Maybe if New York jewelers sold us quality jewelry and had decent customer service we would have purchased more items from them, but since we didn’t, that’s their reasoning for not taking care of the mess they created. Do not trust this company. Deceitful liars, taking advantage of others— selling extremely poor quality jewelry at designer prices. I have quite the story to tell. Dealing with the manufacturing manager Darryl has been a nightmare in its own. He’s lied from the beginning from telling me nothing was wrong with my jewelry, to saying he’s going to talk to the owner of the company on a specific day and call me with a resolution, to then saying it’s not the owner he has to talk to, it’s the GM, but he’s been “too busy” so I’ll have to wait even longer, to snooping through our purchase file and pulling information on people who recommended us to the company. This is the most upsetting and shady thing I’ve ever had to deal with in retail. I’ll just share this for now as a warning for others, you won’t even believe the rest of my story which I’ll share later.

    The reviews are all great for a reason! Wow - the customer service, specifically Rudy, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and super communication. They made me a custom piece and were able to rush it in time for Christmas. Their work is fantastic too! Thank you to everyone there!

    The best experience and they have the absolute best deals. I was looking to set my topaz into a ring for my wife as a push present and Barry helped me find a ring that was premium metal (platinum) and twice the amount of diamonds at less than the cost other jewelers were quoting me for less premium metal. Oh, and they were able to set the gem in the ring DAY OF! I can’t think of any better place than this place. They are all professionals and treat you like royalty. Ask for Barry.

    I’m not sure how this company has ANY reviews that are less than 5 stars... their selection is incredible, they are honest, their prices are fair and their customer service is incredible. Jewelry is a business of relationships. Like all jewelers worth visiting, you get a personalized experience with a sales rep who can help you look for exactly what it is you want to buy. Don’t be upset if you aren’t helped right away — if you need immediate service, call ahead instead of just walking in. I’ve shopped twice here — once for gemstone earrings and once for a diamond tennis bracelet. I had an issue with my appraisal not matching my bracelet that went unnoticed by me for months, and the customer service I received when they became aware of the issue is definitely worth noting. They offered to exchange the bracelet for the one my appraisal was for (which was still in inventory) or replace the appraisal. In the end, Tim (downstairs w/ the diamonds) was correct that the bracelet I received was the better quality. That’s the type of customer service that will keep me coming back! I know for most people, jewelry isn’t an every-day type of thing to purchase. But I know that when I shop here, I am getting estate pieces that I can pass down to my family. The pieces are simply made to out last us, just take care of it and it will sparkle! I also got some new earring backs here that I love! Nice big backs so my studs won’t fall out. Oh and last thing, their cleaning solution is worlds better than dawn soap! It has some sort of polishing effect that really makes the jewelry look brand new after a cleaning!!!

    New York jewelers is a great place for watch shopping. I’ve shopped here twice, looking for watches for my husband. Tony in the watch department is always incredibly helpful, informative, and never too pushy. I don’t know much about watches, so Tony was patient in explaining different brands, styles, and options at a range of prices.

    THE BEST selection of engagement rings in the midwest. Everyone on staff is terrific and super helpful. I have also had a great online shopping experience, so shopping with NYJ is still a pleasure even when I am out of Chicago. Next day shipping just makes the experience even better.

    I was very impressed by the selection of new and used pieces. Everything is neatly organized and it's pretty sight to see. Kyle was super friendly and helpful. He took his time to show me pieces I was interested in and was not at all pushy. I can say with great certainty my next luxury watch purchase will be from NYJ. I've already referred a family member to NYJ!

    Excellent selection of watches and very reasonable battery replacement charges. They provide the same level of professional and friendly service on battery replacement for a Casio F-91W as they do for a high end watch. I know because I have both.

    We love coming to New York Jewelers! We've mainly worked with Kabita, and she is always super helpful and friendly. Everyone is very kind, professional, and knowledgeable, and they always remember us when we drop by to have our pieces cleaned. Shopping here is the best. We've done custom work here, repairs, appraisals, and purchased a few things too - all excellent experiences. Highly recommended!

    This is the best jewelry shop in Bryan/College Station. Occasionally we need repair work performed on rings and necklaces. This is the only place we will go for the work. The staff is friendly, attentive, and professional. They do high quality work and get it done quickly at a good price. We've always been very pleased and we have brought several jewelry pieces here for repair.

    I was shocked at the variety of selection and number of Rolex watches in stock at this store. Staff were nice too. Would recommend the drive to college station for out of towners looking for Rolexes as this is apparently a well-kept secret.

    Rachel and Julia Ann were absolutely wonderful. I gave them the general description of what I wanted to see and they showed me several options. They were extremely patient and very skillful in finding out what I liked and, more important, what my wife would like. I had not intended to buy something on this first visit but was so impressed with the selection and the item that I decided upon, that I decided to buy it on the spot. The interaction with these two fine young ladies made my decision. I could not recommend them any more highly. A wonderful jewelry shopping experience (and I hate shopping).

    I found the best ring ever for my fiancé. I had to look no further because Katie, one of the sales representatives was to helpful in finding a great, unique, cost-friendly ring. If anyone is looking to get engaged, please go to David Gardner's you will love the experience.

    This place is one of a kind! Spectacular service giving you the most beautifully crafted jewelry. I had the privilege of designing my girlfriend's (now fiancee's) engagement ring and wedding band at David Gardner's Jewelers. The staff were a blessing and such a great partner to work with as they had lots of experience and were very patient and kind. I got to work with Caysi and she was amazing. From the start I knew I could trust her and ask any question I needed to. I would recommend David Gardner's Jewelers to any and every person that is looking for beautiful jewelry for loved ones.

    I had a not so good experience in there. Had a pair of diamond stud earrings and lost a screw back off of one of them. Took them into get a new screw and the salesman showed me what they call a Martini Setting ($250). I went ahead and purchased the new setting and left my diamond studs which are 2 carat total there. Once they called to say they were ready for pick up I went down promptly to get them. They brought out the new settings with my diamonds in them and I asked where my old settings and the one screw was, there response was they were probably scrapped. So after 5-10 minutes looking around they located them. Once I got home I looked at the old settings and they had removed a post from the original and sautered it onto one of he new Martini settings. The screw fit that one fine because it was from the original one, the one they replaced the screw does not screw on straight. So what they basically did was charge me for 2 settings and gave me my old post and screw back on the new setting from my original repair. I will never go back to that store and would caution others.

    I loved working with David Gardner’s! They helped me create a custom ring for my fiancé and I absolutely love the final product. They were friendly, genuine, and people I felt like I could really trust. They talked with me through every step of the process and were always willing to answer any questions I had! I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted when I first walked through their doors, but Cody and David really worked with me and helped me design something absolutely beautiful! I would definitely recommend David Gardner’s Jeweler’s!

    I greatly appreciate the customer service and knowledge I received from Tony in regards to evaluating the value of my watch. There pricing for watch appraisals seems more then fair and especially when you consider there level of expertise. I would highly recommend an appraisal from Tony at NY Jewelers and especially for insurance coverage. I give a lot of reviews on Google and few get a 5 stars from me. I would highly recommend New York Jewelers. Beautiful and friendly environment. THANK YOU TONY!

    We had a fantastic experience purchasing an engagement ring from Stella. She was helpful, honest, super attentive and made us feel very comfortable. She explained everything really well to us and it was clear how knowledgeable she is about Diamonds and their products. We can’t thank her enough for her kindness and professionalism. The ring came out stunning and we are SO happy!!

    New York Jewelers are the best, hands down! My experience over the years has always been positive. Simon has always guided me through each purchase with professionalism, care, and expert knowledge. If you are shopping online, at the mall, or with someone else on jewelers row, you are missing out.

    My diamond earrings are beautiful!!! My sales associate was Ralph and he was outstanding to work with. I was treated with kindness, care and patience. I plan to buy a diamond necklace in the near future and I know my purchase will be made at New York Jewelers!!!! The best Jewelry Company in the world 🩷🩷

    My now Husband purchased my engagement ring from NYJ and was very pleased with their service. We wanted to design the ring together so he proposed with a beautiful oval solitaire. When it came to design the ring we got quotes from a few jewelers, but NYJ was the best option, not to mention their service was impeccable. We designed two custom pieces with the help of NYJ. During that time we worked very closely with Kabita Shrestha. She was kind, helpful and not to mention very patient with all the back and forth. I am very particular and wanted these pieces to be perfect. Not to mention we cut it a little close to the wedding date making the process feel a little stressful. Kabita took away all the worry stepping us through the process and making sure we felt confident the ring would be what we wanted. Two molds later we have the ring of our dreams. With out Kabita, we wouldn't have my dream ring... and possibly wouldn't have had it in time for the wedding! Thank you NYJ and thank you Kabita.

    Ten years ago, my husband and I had my diamond reset for our 20th Anniversary. Now, we just celebrated our 30th and I wanted the matching wedding band, which the designer no longer makes. A quick Google search led me to New York Jewelers where I found the band! I was very apprehensive to purchase a piece of jewelry "sight unseen." However, from the time I contacted a customer service rep (Simon--who was extremely helpful and professional) to purchase and receiving it in the mail (I live in Colorado) the very next day, NYJ was OUTSTANDING!! I look forward to doing business with you all again! ~ Connie

    The team at New York Jewelers is something to be noted. I was in the market for a unique timepiece that had weight and was unique from a collector perspective. My experience with Harris was like no other experience I have had in retail. Thats right. His name is Harris. There is no pressure and no sales tactics to speak of. They truly care about finding the right piece for you and if the timing is right and you love it......GET it! We are in the experience economy and I rule out all options and prices before moving. BUT dont be a miser. After shopping at 6 other stores over 2 days I decided Harris earned my business and I wanted pay for and reward those who take the time and who know the business of patronage. The unique collection and pricing is something you will never find at the flagship stores. Thank you gents. Ill see you in a year. -Joe Norwood

  • 5/5 Matt L. 3 years ago on Google
    I couldn't recommend New York Jewelers enough! Their customer service was fantastic and the pricing was very fair. I worked with Sam who made the whole process very comfortable for me, a first-time jewelry buyer. They made sure I didn't feel rushed every time I came to the store, and they helped guide me along the way with some key decisions that made the final product very special. They were also responsive to emails and calls so I never felt forgotten about. Thank you again NY Jewelers team!

    My husband and I had the best experience at New York Jewelers. Mike and Fred were extremely helpful in finding us the perfect wedding bands. They came with great recommendations and were very flexible about our options. They were extremely accommodating with timing and were great at communicating. We will definitely be going back in the future - we would definitely recommend NYJ.

    2 years ago I inherited a ring from my grandmother. For insurance purposes I wanted to have it appraised. New York Jewlers apprised it within 20 minutes as a 1.5 carat Garnet surrounded by 12 (.75 carat) diamonds. Last week I finally went into Windy City Diamonds to have the stones reset into another setting. They sent it out to have a GIA appraisal, turns out it's a 1.8 carat Pigeon Blood Ruby surrounded by 12 (1 carat) diamonds. and worth way more than the original appraisal. If you've had something apprised here, please have it verified by another source. I believed New York Jewlers until I had it sent out recently (I also had another jewelers other than Windy City also verify). It's worth knowing what your stuff is worth, if for no other reason that you should know if you're walking around with the cost of a Tesla on your finger!!

  • 4/5 Catherine H. 3 years ago on Google
    My Fiance and I came on my lunch break to get my ring resized because we were taking engagement photos the next day and the New York family got us in and out within 20 mins! We were expecting for it to take hours, or overnight. We were so floored with the service we received. I will ALWAYS continue to come here and refer my family and friends here. Trust me, make this your first and only stop!

    Horrible experience designing a ring. After spending money there I ended up having to have a new ring designed elsewhere. Complete waste of time and money. Seems very cheap like they cut corners. Not happy at all.

    Went in to look at engagement rings and loose diamonds but we were put off by one of the salesmen who made it seem like we didn’t have a clue about what we were talking about (budget and specs of the diamonds). I would stay away from Marc has he was very aggressive towards us. Maybe try improving your people skills at this location.

    I just bought a Breitling pre-owned Aerospace wrist watch from New York Jewelers. Breitling discontinued the model in 2012 and although its nearly 10 years old this remarkable example remains in like new condition. I dealt with Mike who manages the business and made the entire sales process worry free. You’re always concerned when buying online. Is it a great web site, but in reality you’re dealing with someone selling watches and rugs from the trunk of their car off route 80. They’re in Chicago today and Peoria tomorrow. New York Jewelers has been in business since 1890. That’s 30 years before the Chicago Bears hit the gridiron and 10 years before the White Sox started playing baseball at Comiskey Park. Benjamin Harrison was President. They’re online and brick and motor and that’s what I look for when making a purchase. They’re now on my favorites list and I’ll be back to buy more.

  • 5/5 Kevin & Ashley H. 4 years ago on Google
    You can immediately tell that you’re in good hands with Ralph. He’s a total pro and extremely experienced. He helped us find a beautiful engagement ring that perfectly fits my style. My fiancé had gone beforehand to scout things out and Ralph managed to be very subtle about it, as I had no idea. He was also super helpful when we went to pick out our wedding bands. The entire experience was fun and exciting. Thanks, Ralph!

  • 5/5 Jon R. 4 years ago on Google
    I purchased an engagement ring through NYJ. My fiancé and I are very happy with both the diamond and custom ring we had designed. It was a successful buying experience and I will be returning to NYJ for our wedding bands and other future jewelry purchases. They accommodate customers by validating your valet ticket, so make sure you pull right up in front of the store so you don’t have to waste time/money parking elsewhere. Marc was extremely helpful and in the search for the right diamond. When you are in his office, 100% of his time is dedicated to you and finding the right diamond, no matter how many you need to look at or how long it takes. I was very particular and specific about choosing which diamond was perfect for us. He never gave up and never made me feel like I was wasting any of his or my time. He gave helpful pointers on what should be most important to ‘him AND her’ when deciding on the “perfect” diamond. Scott, the sales manager, was very helpful as well. He made sure to step in when necessary and get me the information I needed when Marc wasn’t scheduled to be at the office that day. Simon, was another key piece to my successful buying experience. He took the initiative to reach out to me via email and schedule a time for me to pick up the engagement ring. He was very responsive in his email communication, which I really appreciated. Bottom line, NYJ will take care of you and not pressure you into buying anything. They are there to serve you.

    If you are looking for a jewelry store with a large selection of jewelry and watches this is the place for you. Not to forget to mention great prices and service! The first watch I purchased was a Tag over 10 years ago. I recently had an issue with the watch after (10 years) I called Jimmy one of the owners, he put me in contact with the service department. I sent them the watch they called me back a few days later with a price and what was wrong with it. I gave them permission to fix it a couple weeks later they called me for payment and shipped the watch back to me. The process was very easy and they kept me informed every step of the way. In the last 10 years I purchased 4 watches. Every transaction was better than the next. Thanks again for everything!!

  • 5/5 Brandon C. 4 years ago on Google
    I've had great experiences every time with New York Jewelers, beginning with an engagement ring purchase. It was nerve wracking at the time, but Scott was tremendously helpful and relaxed. Everything I've ever bought there independently appraised for an amount at or above the appraisal NYJ provided after the sale. Can't speak for the others, but I highly recommend Scott and his colleagues.

  • 5/5 Cris R. 4 years ago on Google
    I’m seriously the worst client you can possibly imagine when it comes to diamonds. So needless to say, I’m probably the client from h*ll when it comes to buying me an engagement ring. My fiancée was challenged with finding a near impossible stone aligned with a very particular custom created setting. Kabita had the patience to deal with my fiancée Dan (Slobodan) in creating 5 mock settings, later on she also had to ultimately meet me- who had some “tweaking” requests. Kabita deserves an award, a raise, a promotion... whatever you wanna call it...for listening, staying late, maintaining diligent contact and ultimately for making dreams come true. I’ve waited a very long time for this special day and words will never be able to describe the gratitude I have in my heart for all of her efforts. With that being said- if you want nothing short of perfection- do yourself a favor and work with Kabita. Kabita, thank you. Thank you for making the near impossible, possible. Sincerely, Cristina Rosco

    I recently began looking for a 30 year anniversary gift for my wife. I looked at some local jewelry then thought it was maybe time to look at Jewelers Row in Chicago. While visiting several stores there I entered New York Jewelers. They were well staffed and very friendly. I am a blue collar worker and dressed in my daily attire I was greeted as a valued costumer before I ever considered making a purchase. I was introduced to a young lady named Kabita and we began the process of finding something I though my wife would love. She helped my to see the difference in quality in diamonds as did some other staff members. I felt comfortable and did not feel like i was being steered in any direction. After my first visit, i had to cut my time short as I headed back home to Minooka Ill as I did not want my wife to find out I was looking for an anniversary gift. After a little more time i was able to get back to New York Jewelers and look again at a possible gift with Kabita. She had all of my information from the first visit and I liked what I saw. We settled on a price that I though was very fair given the quality of diamonds I considered. My name is Joe Pershey , 53 of Minooka ILL. I posted this review under my daughters mail. I am glad i made the drive to Wabash Ave in Chicago. Great job Kabita!!!

    I recently bout a Bell & Ross. I worked directly with Mike M. for about a month before purchasing. If you are ever in the market to buy a new watch, I highly recommend that not only do you check out NY Jewelers, but also ask for Mike. He was responsive to my 5,000,000 emails, never pressured me into buying, showed me different options, and was a true pleasure to work with. He's an expert in his field and will help you get exactly what you want at your price point. 5/5 for NYJ, 6/5 for Mike!

    Rachel, Wendie and Brad did a great job walking me through the process of purchasing an engagement ring. They were knowledgeable and never forced me to rush the decision. Even once the ring was purchased and in the process of being crafted they were always willing to answer any additional questions. I would highly recommend the team at DG and plan to use them again for any future jewelry needs. Chris M

    Highly recommend DG Jewelers! They treat you like family every single time. Don't waste your time going to some chain jeweler. Quality and customer service is THE BEST at David Gardner's!!!

    Got my Aggie ring guard from here and looked at engagement rings too! All of the staff, especially Bradley and Mrs. Windie were so kind, caring, and knowledgeable. Mr. David even came by to say hi & give us his thoughtful opinion! We ended up being here for 3 & 1/2 hours and loved every minute!! Thank you all for being so great!!

    CONSIDER THIS YOUR WARNING AND ENTER AT YOIR OWN RISK. People behind the counter do not do anything but walk around with pieces of jewelry they took from inside the jewelry cases that morning when they get to work before they open up the door. All talk no action. They talk as if they want to actually sell you something and when it comes time for them to follow up with you, they leave you out to dry.

    DG was amazing from the first moment of our engagement ring process! Rachel was great and made me feel very comfortable. She was patient as I had no idea what I was really looking for. She explained everything perfectly and helped us feel very confident! DG's customer service is top notch and we wouldn't go anywhere else in BCS for our jewelry needs!

    Big thanks to Sophie for helping design the ring for my recent proposal! It meant a lot because there was family diamonds involved and she helped make sure it was perfect! We could not be happier!

    I got engaged on September 12th but my engagement ring was too big my fiancé lives out of state. So it was up to me to have the ring sized. I searched Google and came across David Gardeners Jewelry I called and immediately they were professional and courteous. I took my ring in on a Thursday around 4:30 that evening right before they close they told me they could do it but it probably wouldn’t be ready until Monday. Which was still better than other places I called in which the wait time was up to 2 weeks or more. Well very next day that Friday I received a call from from the jewelry store stating that my ring was ready. In just 24 hours I had my engagement ring back. Fast, and friendly a all-around class act ...I love this place.

    I found David Gardner’s Jewelry on Instagram. I had the true pleasure of working with Sophie Newton. I live in Florida and worked with her via e-mail/phone for a couple of weeks to buy my husband his dream watch. She was so helpful and sweet. She got back to my e-mails and calls within a day. You can find a watch anywhere but genuine customer service doesn’t come by very often. I would recommend them to anyone!

    Great customer service. Top notch care. They make you feel like family. (Review from a customer of 7 years!) My husband purchased my wedding band and engagement ring from David Gardner's in 2013. We have 7 years of history with David Gardner. I'm rewriting my review to continue my praises of him and his company. David is a loyal, trustworthy, caring, and attentive owner. He cares about the satisfaction of his customers and the quality of his jewelry. His entire team is prompt, professional, and welcoming ALWAYS. The DG Love Protection Plan is phenomenal!! David Gardner's has maintained my rings over the years and returns them to me promptly. He offers safe mailing options which is wonderful if you buy in College Station and then move away like many do after college. David Gardner's makes the yearly inspection process easy! There are never any issues getting a repair resolved from a distance, their staff is seriously wonderful! They promise to take care of you, and seven years later they are still holding up that promise! I highly recommend David Gardner's.

  • 5/5 Christy P. 4 years ago on Google
    I am absolutely in love with my ring! I came to David after a failed attempt by another local jeweler to re-design my wedding ring for a more work-practical design to accommodate my profession in the healthcare field. David did not disappoint! Honestly, what I most admired was his personal discussion with me on what I wanted from him. He listened and created something beautiful and practical. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely recommend David and his staff. They truly listen and want their customer to be satisfied.

  • 5/5 Dan S. 4 years ago on Google
    David Gardner Jewelry has been our go to for fine jewelry for over twenty years. We have purchased watches, pendants, earrings and necklaces over the years and have never been disappointed. The customer service is outstanding and they repair and return your items any time that is needed. What sets them apart, however, is the unique designs David has created for us over the years. He takes the time to sit down and discuss all of the options and ideas and makes certain he understands and shares your vision for the creation....and the results are outstanding. I highly recommend David Gardner Jewelry, and we will continue to be a happy customer.

  • 5/5 Sydney L. 4 years ago on Google
    The staff displayed a perfect balance of professionalism and personality when we were looking at engagement rings. All the jewelry is so stunning and elegant that I had a hard time choosing just one! Amazing products that I can trust to be handled by the best staff!

  • 5/5 Kevin M. 4 years ago on Google
    Can't say enough good things about David Gardner's! Their selection was great and their customer service was even better. Everyone was super knowledgeable and helpful. Ask for Ashtyn or Caysi and I can guarantee that you will not have a better experience anywhere else!

  • 5/5 J. T. 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve been a customer of DGs for about five years and I’ll continue to come back. It’s because of the warm family atmosphere and great selection of jewelry and watches. Wendie has been my SA for three of my purchases, she’s the best and I can’t say enough great things about her. I highly recommend this store for your future purchases. Even though I’ve moved out of College Station, I still make the commute for my purchases. Anytime I need something, I pick up the phone and call Wendie, I don’t even consider anywhere else.

  • 5/5 Bobby D. 4 years ago on Google
    Very helpful, comfortable and friendly. Designed my engagement ring and our wedding bands at David Gardner's and they made it so easy! Great place with great people.

  • 5/5 Marcus L. 4 years ago on Google
    Honestly, they made the process so easy. Cody educated me on all the finer points of buying an engagement ring in order to help me make an educated decision. The ring was mind blowing and I would recommend that anyone go to D&G. Ask for Cody.

  • 5/5 James M. 4 years ago on Google
    Recently purchased an engagement ring from David Gardner's and want to brag about my experience. First and foremost, Katie was simply the best. We started the process of picking out a ring in January. it started off very simple, but my girlfriend (soon to be fiance) and I realized we didn't know what we wanted. After 4 ring changes and 8 months of deliberation, we finally decided on a ring, and it is STUNNING. I could not be happier with the customer service, and reassurance I got from the entire staff at David Gardner's. But now I want to talk about Katie. I could not recommend her enough. She is passionate about creating the perfect ring. She worked with us every step of the way and was more than accommodating. Because i live in Houston, and David Gardner's is in college station, i was only able to come in on weekends. Not only did she take time away from her family to work with me, but she always was happy and easy to work with. She communicates with you during every step of the process and is extremely knowledgeable about the whole ring-buying process. She understands your budget and knows how to get you a deal you can afford, while getting a stunning ring. She is just flat out amazing. I could not have done this without Katie. Thank you so much Katie and thank you so much David Gardner's! 11/10, would recommend.

    I do not know where to start because I cannot say enough good things about David Gardner's Jewelers! I hope my story will help show that this company cares about their customers and will go the extra mile to help ensure you get exactly what you are searching for. My story begins 10 days before I was planning to propose to my girlfriend. I had been working with a large jeweler for two months to design what I hoped would be the perfect engagement ring. When I called to confirm the ring would be ready for the big event, the other jeweler told me they would need 3 more weeks to complete the ring. In a panic, I called my brother in law who urged that I talk to David Gardner’s Jewelers. I agreed and had an appointment set up for Saturday - 7 days before I was planning to propose. When we arrived the next day (BIL and me), David Gardner and Wendy we’re there to greet us. I explained the situation and they assured me that they could have the ring made and ready in time for our engagement. The ring was a fully custom design, so we spent the next three hours talking through the design, metal (type, color and carat) and diamonds. Wendy was great throughout the entire process - she listened intently to ensure she knew the exact design I was looking for, she was very patient despite all my questions and she provided great advice to ensure I stayed within my budget. Throughout the next 7 days, Wendy was great to communicate with me on the status of the ring and reconfirming that they were still on schedule. Fast forward to Friday, the day before the big proposal and 6 days after I first walked into David Gardner’s Jewelers, Wendy to called me to let me know that the ring was ready for me to pick up. The finished product was perfect and looked identical to the ring I had described during our initial meeting. Six days from initial meeting to completion of the ring, and they absolutely nailed it! If you are in the market for a quality price of jewelry, you should walk into David Gardner’s Jewelers and ask for Wendy because I know they will wow you with their personal customer service and quality work. I know they have wowed me and will have my business for years to come!

    Very good staff and also David Gardner supports many local charities. I have bought jewelry there and for some odd reason I brought my 5 yrs olds with me. He gave them ring pops since mommy was getting a bracelet. Really nice and helpful

    Fred and the team at New York Jewelers have been nothing but the best. I brought an antique ring in to be worked on and they gave me a straightforward, honest assessment that if they took the chipped stones out, it would be likely they wouldn’t be able to get them back in again successfully. Instead they cleaned the ring up and made it look fantastic again. The team was also able to craft two custom bands to go around the antique ring, shaped to fit the square perfectly. They also added some embellishment into the metalwork on the side to keep things matching, blending the new with the old. Both rings turned out great and were absolutely fairly priced. I will continue to shop here for all of my jewelry needs.

  • 5/5 Mel B. 1 year ago on Google
    Sold a watch there. The entire experience was great. Spoke to Jimmy on the phone initially who was incredibly nice and helpful. He was not working once I went in, but Mike and Steve were also incredibly nice and made the whole process very easy and what they paid was very fair. I would highly recommend visiting there whether you're buying or selling!

  • 5/5 Marvin F. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve had an unbelievable experience with NY Jewelers! Simon was very helpful in helping me decide what to choose! He was very friendly and knowledgeable and even offered to send me photos on wrist of the bracelet that I wanted that has a similar wrist size! Incredible experience! Best of all, they are operating east coast time and i concluded the order around 1pm Pacific time (i live in LA), and literally the next morning, 9.34am to be exact, the bracelet is already in my possession! Wow. I cannot recommend this company enough! And when you contact them, be sure to look for Simon, he’ll be your guy! I will definitely be coming back for more of my jewelry needs in the future!

  • 5/5 Cesar R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shopping experience! And I highly recommend making Kyle Familara your watch guy! I went in a couple of weeks ago to talk about watches and try on a watch that I had been wanting for a while. Not only did Kyle provide an outstanding service, we also talked watches for a long time and I ended up leaving with two watches because he gave me a great price on them! Thanks to him New York Jewelers will always be my go to jewelry for watches in Chicago!

  • 5/5 Kahtan A. 1 year ago on Google
    I could not be more elated with the jewelry we have picked up for our wedding in June. Simon made the process seamless, and was even able to customize a necklace to our specific request. Kyle was also extremely helpful for weeks in regards to navigating the perfect timepiece for the wedding. Highly recommend reaching out for Kyle. Everything is incredible. 5 stars!

  • 5/5 Deniece T. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been going to New York jewelers for over 35 years now, and the customer service has always been impeccable! The sales team is very attentive, as well as knowledgeable in the areas of fine jewelry all across the board. Steve and Joni are my two favorites. Whenever I’m there, they always make sure that I’m taking care of properly! Whether there’s a crowd or not, they always make sure all of their customers are treated like they are the only priority. I will highly recommend shopping there even if it’s just for the experience. However, I’m sure that once you go, you are guaranteed to leave with something. Let me not forget to mention that the selection of jewelry is awesome as well. It was more than a pleasure to write this review for them. Thank you New York Jewelry from my family, friends, and myself, for providing us with memorable pieces that will last for a lifetime. Nothing but love. Deniece Thomas

  • 5/5 Christopher D. 1 year ago on Google
    An amazing experience. Absolute best staff in the world. From the time you walk in, you are surrounded by warm, friendly and extremely well informed staff. This is why when it comes to any piece of jewelry, New York Jewelers is the only place for me. The best quality...the best prices....the best staff.

    My original gold engagement ring broke away from the diamond. Fred was incredibly helpful in my purchase of a new white gold band for my marquee diamond. He also changed my gold wedding band to a white gold. I couldn’t have been happier with the service that was provided. I will definitely return 👍 Jan Edelson

  • 5/5 frank b. 1 year ago on Google
    More than the vast examples of luxury watches or the multitude of incredible brands is the great staff. Everyone who works there has been gracious and helpful. The entire staff from the owners to the sales people & even the office staff have made the craziness of collecting watches/money loss less painful. Oops, I forgot the watchmakers in the service dept...they are a pleasure to deal with as well. These guys are a fantastic part of the watch collecting community. A joy to talk with, and a joy to do business with as well. Thanks Mike, for the Zulu Time and the Ultra Chron!

  • 5/5 Sydney H. 7 months ago on Google
    Had a wonderful experience! They let my girlfriend and I take our time picking out rings and made the process stress free and easy. There’s a wide range of high quality jewelry to choose from and ordering custom rings is easy.

    NY Jewelers is fantastic. Mike Marzano in the Watch Department is an Angel. He guided me through the process of getting my Chronoswiss Watch repaired. When they returned it, it looked like new. Their work, professionalism and customer focus is extraordinary. I highly recommend them for your valuable pieces.

    I had a great experience with Mike Marzano!!! This is one of the best places in Chicago area for watches and jewelries! Mike is an awesome guy, very patient and friendly person! I spent quite some time in the store and he didn't get tired of showing me different timepieces. I had such a pleasant time in New York Jewelers and I bought a very special Seiko :) Guys don't even think twice to visit this store, believe me It's worth it! Thank you very much Mike, you are the best!!!

    They are the best in the business! Whatever you end up acquiring, you will be getting the best possible deal, from the absolutely most stellar staff, and specific individuals that specialize in each department. Their watch department is flawless. They might not have every single brand, but they carry most upscale watches, and an array of pre-worn watches. All of their pre-worn watches come with phenomenal warranties, and are in phenomenal condition. Anyone looking for a pre-worn rolex, this is the place to go! The one brand that they specialize in, on a major level, is TAG Heuer. They have the best selection out there. I happen to love that brand, and I would go nowhere else to acquire a timepiece from tag heuer. But above that, the salesman are extremely professional, and you will get the best possible deal out there. I go nowhere else! For all of my jewelry needs. Whether it's acquiring a new timepiece, ring, or getting something serviced. If you're looking for a wedding ring, and or wedding band, this is also the place to go! They have the highest quality precious stones and metals. They are also very up-to-date on what is in style, at any given time. If you call ahead, you'll probably get the best service that way. But you can just walk right in there. The owner is one of the most honest and well respected individuals in the business. I cannot sing the Praises of this Jeweler enough. I literally will go nowhere else. And if there is ever something that they cannot do, they are connected to the entire business district. They will direct you for whatever it is you are looking for. But chances are, you'll find it at their location. I mean it when I say that they are the best in the business! From the owner, to salesman, and of course all of that which they offer within the store. You will not only acquire the best possible, for the best price, but you will also enjoy the experience. To me, that's one of the most important things. If I'm looking for a watch, or a ring, or a specific diamond, I want to enjoy that experience. I personally guarantee that you will. If you've read this far, you know that I cannot sing their praises enough. I've been dealing with them for over 20 years, and I've never had a bad experience. Not only that, I've actually only had five star experiences. They are the top of the top. Give them a call or stop on by and you will get anything and everything you can imagine from the highest quality of Jewelers in the world. I've been to New york. I've been overseas. Europe. Israel. And many other countries. I can safely say that they are the best in the business. Absolutely love these guys!

    Went to buy my girlfriend sapphire earrings and Simon set me up with Randell. Randell has been with NY Jewelers for over 25 years and knows so much. We picked some beautiful earrings and gave me a very good price. The earrings were beautifully made and are stunning. They have a wonderful selection and so personable too. Should I someday take the next step and get engaged, this is where I will buy the engagement ring.

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience with New York Jewelers Chicago!!! I live in Maryland and left a message expressing interest in a particular piece of jewelry I spotted on their website. The very next day I received a phone call from Simon offering his assistance. I cannot speak highly enough regarding the level of service I received from Simon. He took the time to answer every question that I had. Including texting me pix of the pieces I was interested in. Although I was a first time customer I was made to feel as if I were a VIP client who had been shopping with them for years!!! They worked with me on pricing and as a result I ended up purchasing 2 pieces of jewelry. It was a positive experience from start to finish. I will absolutely purchase from them again. I highly recommend this business!!! They had proven to me that excellent customer service still exists!!!

    Beautiful watch, great restoration to like-new condition. I got lucky and it fit my wrist perfectly. Fair price. I would have liked to have gotten the TH factory box and tags, but appreciate your fancy store box. I avoided Ebay and looked for a factory authorized store and it was a wise move. The free overnight shipment sweetened the deal.
