A Huge Thank You and Congratulations to Andre and Jill, who left us a glowing review on Google!

“I did not have a clue about what diamond ring I was going to buy or where I was going to buy it until I was lucky enough to stumble upon a review like this one! The review described a 5-star diamond expert in New York, who was polite, attentive and helpful! His name is Keith and I had to check it out for myself. I e-mailed him and he responded within minutes, in the most polite way possible. We scheduled an appointment at his office, where I did not find someone who tried to sell me a diamond, I found someone who was committed to helping me make my fiancé have the experience of a lifetime! Keith is THE ring expert and he went the extra-mile to make sure that I found the perfect diamond ring. He was more than patient and polite, he acted in my best interest, as a friend would! I 100% recommend Keith, because he is the best and he will help you find the best, which is exactly what the love of your life deserves! Thank you Keith for making this magical moment, memorable, easy and exciting! Jill and I can’t wait to buy our wedding bands with you in the spring.”

The Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX) will soon begin  to trade in polished diamond futures, becoming the first country to allow anyone to trade in diamonds on a commodity exchange, according to IDEX Online.

The plan awaits final approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), with the formal launch set for March. Sanjit Prasad, managing director and chief executive officer of ICEX, told The Hindu: “There are around 80 diamond site-owners [sightholders] globally and we have got 20 of those on our exchange. Our mock trading saw participation from around 100 people. Once diamond contracts start trading on an exchange, it will become a financial investment product

Holidays are always a popular time to “pop the question”.  Maybe it’s the magic in the air, families all coming together, a time to reflect on what and who is important in your life…and this Holiday season, there was no shortage of love in the air.  NYCWD would like to send a big congratulations to all of our newly engaged couples!

Congratulations to Brendan and Nikki!

“I wanted to share that Keith is an absolute pleasure to work with through the shopping, evaluation, and decision process. He is responsive via email and truly client-centric in-person.

My fiancé was absolutely blown away by the diamond that Keith helped me select and I was very impressed by the whole team’s craftsmanship. I can’t thank him enough for helping to make our day so special.”

Congratulations to August and Gina!

“Fantastic from farm to table, nose to tail, soup to nuts, beginning to end, whichever you choose! Keith explained everything about what to look for in your perfect stone, helps you through the whole process, and makes sure you get the best deal for your budget. I’ll never buy another diamond from anyone else. Thanks Keith!”

Congratulations to Simon and his fiancé!

“She absolutely adores her ring! I catch her every two minutes looking at it and admiring it. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me along this journey and being there to answer all my questions and being flexible with me! I hope to meet up and discuss the details with you soon and one day bring my fiancé in to meet you as well, as I kept telling her about you afterwards!”

Congratulations to Adriana and Alex!

May God bless you with all the love and happiness and thank you for your service!

“Thank you very much, NYCWD, for helping me purchase my engagement ring. It went off without a hitch, and your sage advice aided me greatly! Thanks again!”

“U.S. holiday season driving positive sentiment.  Trump-effect expected to boost jewelry demand as financial markets climb to record levels.  Fed interest rate hike signal improving economic outlook.  Chinese, Indian and Middle East markets cautious.  Polished diamond shortages expected in 1Q as Indian production declines due to government demonetization scheme.  De beers 2016 rough sales  +36% to $5.8B.”

We would like to take a moment to give a big ‘Thank You’ to all of our wonderful clients out there, who continually write such positive reviews about us.

Here is our most recent review by Sean, on Yelp.

“As many of the other reviewers, I was looking to purchase a diamond for an engagement ring for my now fiancee and based on the stellar reviews set up an appointment with Keith. He blew away all of my expectations. I supplied my budget and desired specifications for the diamond and he showed me several diamonds that were within the price point and gave honest advice about each diamond. There was never any pressure and Keith made the whole process very easy. I left his office every time more excited to propose and to see my fiancee’s face.

I ran into an issue with the jeweler who would be supplying the setting and Keith did not skip a beat and had a custom setting made to my specifications. The entire finished product was beyond stunning and my fiancee was ecstatic. I cannot recommend Keith enough. He treats his customers with respect and puts great time and effort into his work and it shows in the pieces that are produced. Thank you Keith!”
