Being myself a watch lover and collector, I was fortunate enough to be helped by Mike. His passion and knowledge of watches made the experience of buy a new watch much more rewarding. He took his time, we discussed watches before making a decision. An special order was placed and then he called me for the pick up. Everything perfect.

I had called and spoke to Mike a week prior to my visit about a specific watch I was looking for. When I arrived, he showed me the one I thought I wanted. I asked him if there were any others he thought I should take a look at and he got out an amazing one that looked great on my wrist and also fit all of my must haves. He even showed me how to change out the bracelet/straps, sized it perfectly, and explained all of the features.It was an awesome experience dealing with Mike. I wouldnt have expected to get that level of service from a busy store in a large city. I would highly recommend everyone to go here for your watch or jewelry purchase and/or customization.

I was looking to buy a new Hamilton watch, and couldnt decide between a few different models. I made an appointment online and met with Kyle, who showed me the watches I was interested in as well as a few others. When I came back to buy the watch Id decided on (Hamilton Khaki Titanium), Kyle handled the transaction professionally and I know I got a great price. I highly recommend New York Jewelers!

My fiancé bought my engagement ring from NYJ after doing extensive research online and in-person at a variety of retailers/wholesalers, and was very pleased with the entire process. We also bought our wedding bands from them. Service has been top notch and they took care of week of wedding ring polishing. Will continue to use them as our go-to jeweler!

My experience at New York Jewelers Chicago was amazing!!! I was definitely nervous making the biggest purchase of my life... an engagement ring! The valet service provided on arrival was super convenient but the best part of the experience was undoubtedly Ralph. He was super friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Whats more, he respected my budget; no pushy sales tactics or BS with this guy. He made me feel very comfortable, I learned a lot about diamonds from him while there, and I left the store with the feeling that I got the most bang for my buck. My fiance and I will definitely be back for our wedding bands, Thanks Ralph, youre amazing!

Everything said by all the other 5-star reviewers is true: New York Jewelers has absolutely spectacular customer service. Santiago has been our go-to-guy since our very first visit two years ago, and he always upholds what I feel to be the highest standards of knowledgeability, professionalism, and transparency. From a promise ring to an engagement ring and everything in between, Santiago has always presented stunning pieces that fall right within our often modest budget. No pushing overly expensive options, no pressure to make snap purchases…just inexhaustible patience and dedication to his clients.I look forward to continued business with Santiago and New York Jewelers, and would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I was in town last week on vacation and stumbled upon this place while looking for another jeweler. Mike was great helping me pick out a watch and he gave me a great price, to boot. Im so glad I happened upon it; I would definitely come back again!

I’ve been dealing with New York Jewelers for years and don’t want to do business with any other jeweler. Phil has been fantastic! From the design and production of my wife’s custom wedding ring to the custom urn ring the we just ordered, everything is top notch. We are in Colorado and they take care of us remotely. Best service I’ve ever received in any industry. Thanks for everything!!

We always enjoy shopping at New York Jewelers, since their selection and service is outstanding. Recently we had the pleasure of working with JR, to help us find a gift for our daughters 50th birthday. He was professional, friendly and very helpful as we found the perfect gift for her, and arranged to have it sent to another state, in time for her birthday celebration.

When looking for an engagement ring, one of my colleagues recommended I go to New York Jewelers – specifically Ralph as that had been her consultant. I had already been to a few shops and spoken with some “experts” on the ring I had in mind.After 5 minutes sitting with Ralph, you could tell he was in a different league from everyone else I had spoken with. He was more knowledgeable in almost every aspect when it came to talking about diamonds (and I would assume this knowledge translates to other gems as well).Thanks to NYJ’s stock of available gems, we were able to find the perfect diamond within the appointment. However, I was convinced I wouldn’t be buying a diamond that day, and even had a few other appointments to get to. I told Ralph I’d be in touch.I walked out of my next appointment an hour later knowing that there wouldn’t be a better option on the market, especially that I could trust. I called Ralph and purchased the diamond that afternoon.Overall, Ralph was an amazing resource to have access to in my hunt for the perfect engagement ring and my fiancée couldn’t be happier with her ring.

I’ve had mixed experiences here, but in the end I will say that while the prices are high… the quality is not necessarily that high.I purchased two items here — a pair of sapphire studs and a diamond tennis bracelet. They actually gave me a wrong appraisal — lower quality stones and more gold weight. Finally I got the option to take the other bracelet or get the right appraisal.Honestly the jewelry looks great but my other tennis bracelet has better diamond quality for same price and my sapphire studs are matched well for color, but not for cut/symmetry/proportions.Personally I’d shop elsewhere, but I have had WORSE experiences on jewelers row… like how Prudential tried to rip me off by telling me that my 22kt was 21kt, at least NYJ was honest and FAIR with my trade! Plus they have a great selection!Just make sure you shop around! My pieces are still great, I just wish I’d shopped around more!

I have dreamed of a classic 2-carat emerald cut diamond rings for decades. We had a good experience buying watches at New York Jewelers five years ago, so my husband wanted to return. He told them I wanted to look at emerald cutdiamonds. That surprised me!! The greeter put me with Stella. Stella was amazing. She seemed to understand my passion and exactly what I was looking for. She was patient and NOT pushy... two important characteristics. We ended up buying AND the paperwork and ring came safely, well packaged and just beautiful. Thank you New York Jewelers and Stella!!

We’ve bought a few pieces from New York Jewelers over the last handful of years (and even brought some pieces in for repairs!) and each time we’ve had excellent service.

I recently purchased a watch from New York Jewelers and am very happy with my experience. I worked with Mike who was great - friendly to work with, available when I called with questions, responsive to email, knowledgable about watches, fair in price, and quick to overnight the watch to me (as Im not local to Chicago). I was also impressed with the service I received after making my purchase to switch strap sizes. Thank you! Ryan

Professional and high quality. Two words to describe my experience with NYJ in Chicago. I found the watch type I’d been looking for on their website. Contacted them and was directed to Tony, who basically took it from there. So easy to create an account, communicate with Tony and purchase the timepiece. Delivery was quick and secure. A most enjoyable experience.

NYJ will repair your Rolex in 1/4 to 1/3 the time, and do a much better job polishing it, than the authorized dealer. Their exception service on watch repairs has made them my go-to for all jewelry. Great selection and a friendly, but not pushy, atmosphere.

I’m a first-time buyer with New York Jewelers and I must say, I’m impressed! Their online store is extensive yet easy to navigate, the .50 CTTW Diamond Clover Earrings in Yellow Gold I purchased are absolutely beautiful, and the careful packaging and overnight shipping were top notch. This is obviously a company that takes pride in their customer service. Well done New York Jewelers…and thank you!

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!!!

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 wouldnt have my dream ring... and possibly wouldnt have had it in time for the wedding! Thank you NYJ and thank you Kabita.

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 service, selection, pricing are all on point at New York Jewelers. On top of that they offer fantastic and very easy custom design services, they offer top dollar on trade ins, and have the ability to find pieces for you that may otherwise be difficult to get ahold of. Kabitha has been fantastic for all my needs related to jewelry and Kyle was incredible to work with on a recent watch purchase.NYJ has been around a long time and it is easy to see why. The environment is always comfortable and I have always left the store with a smile on my face. NYJ will always be my jeweler, even after I move out of state I will fly back for all future purchases, but that may not be necessary since they have proven they can facilitate even custom designed pieces over the phone.

What more can I say about my experience with Kyle Familara from NYCJ. From start to finish, he was attentive and caring. Asked him to help create a custom piece for myself. He went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and aware of everything going on throughout the entire process. I would give additional stars if I could. And I have to mention that I’m overly cautious with the pandemic and he accommodated every ask and need from the hand off and pictures via phone. Again, I wouldn’t hesitate a second if you’re looking for anything jewelry or watch related with this place and specifically Kyle Familara. Will be doing business with them again for sure.

I couldnt 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 didnt 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!

I learned about New York Jewelers when I started my journey in to collecting timepieces some two years ago. I went in the store that first time, and Store Manager Mike greeted me and showed me a few pieces. On top of that, he also provided insights around the materials used by a couple of brands. I appreciated the education. However, I didnt buy anything then.I kept going back to see if anything would grab my attention, or to see if the store had anything I was looking for in particular. I would always have a timepiece in mind I wanted to get. I did this for over two years or so, visiting New York Jewelers, and every single time, Mike would say hello, and would show me a few pieces. He was good at that, and I appreciated the no-pressure sales approach. He allowed me to look through the inventory hassle-free.A couple of weeks ago, I came in, the same as always, having a timepiece in mind. Like the wonderful salesperson that Mike was, he came up to me to check on me. He showed me a timepiece I was looking for but the store didnt have the model year I was after.We got to talking about the other timepieces he had, and he showed me a few. I told him no on those pieces, as if I were to make an impulse buy, the timepiece would have to Wow me to which he said he wanted to show me one more before I left. When he told me the brand I said it would be way over my budget -- I am not a big-time collector.I followed Mike, and when he showed me the Patek Philippe Calatrava I knew then that I was done! I told Mike I really liked the timepiece but I would have to think about it. Fifteen minutes later, I was wiring the funds to buy the Patek.Thank you, Mike, for delivering such wonderful service whether I was buying something that day or not. You allowed for me to decide on my own, and when I mentioned I needed to be Wowed if I were to make an impulse buy on an investment timepiece, you knew exactly what I meant by it. Thank you.My Calatrava gave me a wonderful feeling putting it on that no other timepiece in my humble collection had ever given me. Dont get me wrong, I like my Rolex GMT Master II and my Omega Moonwatch. But putting on the Calatrava brought about a new sensation I never had all thanks to Mike.

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

The people were extremely friendly when I went in asking about whether they could place holes a leather band for my watch ( that I didnt purchase here ) they were nice enough to not even charge me, I enjoyed my experience up until the holes were actually punched, unfortunately one hole was punch very out of line with the others, I didnt really say anything and I wish I had. 3 stars because I understand mistakes happen and the service was really great, I just wish Id done it myself or ordered the shorter strap

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!

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).

Review №53

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 its a 1.8 carat Pigeon Blood Ruby surrounded by 12 (1 carat) diamonds. and worth way more than the original appraisal.If youve 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). Its worth knowing what your stuff is worth, if for no other reason that you should know if youre walking around with the cost of a Tesla on your finger!!

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!!

What an amazing group of staff! We walked in just to look around and immediately made a great connection with the manager, Mike. We admired his passion for great service, along with his amazing enthusiasm. His knowledge and honesty about their products was unrivalled. The main thing we admired was his respect for us, being just just a couple tourists looking around... Yet, he made us feel so important, whether we were making a small or a big purchase. After finding something we liked, we decided to shop around more at competing retailers. However, we were drawn back to Mike for the reasons mentioned above and ended up leaving with a beautiful piece that we love. This type of attention to customer service, great product knowledge and an ability to connect with his customers in a personal way is the reason why these 2 Canadians will come back to Chicago! Thank you again to Mike and his team!!! 10 stars!

Darryl in repairs and the rest of the New York Jewelers are true superstars. The repair department fixed my wifes eternity band in quick turnaround returning it looking better than before I dropped it off.

Review №69

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.

Wow - New York Jewelers continues to deliver quality results through generations! I had family members recommend New York Jewelers, and they knocked it out of the park! Simon helped me create the exact, custom engagement ring I was looking for and meticulously worked with me, and my budget, from start to finish with both the stone and the setting - I couldnt be happier with the results! Additionally, Kyle helped me find the perfect watch I was looking for, and he was extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions. When I went to the store to look at everything, the store owner was there, and he made me feel right at home. I highly recommend New York Jewelers to anyone who is in the market for any kind of jewelry, whatsoever, as they have a very large variety of any type of jewelry you could imagine. A big thanks to the entire store for all their hard work - cant wait to go back!

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.

I recently bought a gold chain and I love the quality. I also purchased a set of fangs for my teeth and the quality is great. I will be getting more jewelry from here.

Ive 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 Ive ever bought there independently appraised for an amount at or above the appraisal NYJ provided after the sale. Cant speak for the others, but I highly recommend Scott and his colleagues.

Popped by as I was visiting Chicago briefly. I was helped by Tony who was most courteous and knowledgeable. He wasnt pressuring at all which I really appreciated and allowed me to look at my leisure.NYJ has a great, unique selection of watches with some brands that are very challenging to find elsewhere. I highly recommend it for watch enthusiasts.

Mike Marzano was absolutely wonderful and made the buying experience a wonderful one, they now have a customer for life! I was referred to them by another watch dealer who told me that they had an amazing selection, service area, and sales staff. The referral could not have been more accurate, and the owners took time to speak with me and thank me for my business as well. You will not regret giving NYJ a chance to help you with your purchase.

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. Hes 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!

Ive done business here several times over the last decade. Everything from buying my very first high end luxury watch, selling gold and getting diamonds appraised. The staff has always been friendly, professional and patient. I never felt rushed and I always walked away feeling like I got a fair deal. Its been quite a while but i plan on visiting again very soon.

I came here about a month ago to buy an engagement ring, as my brother-in-law recommended it. Dave R. was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was very patient with me and answered all of my questions. Most importantly, he helped get me the perfect ring. My fiance absolutely loves it and I couldnt be happier. I highly recommend this place for any person looking for an engagement ring and knows nothing about how to do it. They really help you.

I definitely had a great ring shopping experience at New York Jewelers. I was looking for a specific design for my engagement ring, and so my friend recommended this place. I was helped by Santiago (Pete), and I will say this right now, he was so awesome and great!! He was extremely friendly, down-to-earth, and helpful. The best part was that he was very honest and trustworthy. He worked around my budget and what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for any type of jewelry or prefer to have theirs customized. When the time comes, I will return back to the store, and have Santiago help me once again when I need to get a wedding band for myself and my fiancé!

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.

From picking out my engagement ring to selecting our wedding bands, this has been but a positive experience for my fiancé and I! The employees exhibited patience and professionalism as we made our decisions and they were able to provide a ton of guidance. Weve felt that weve gotten fair prices for the area, and still at a quality that we can be very proud of. Long story short, Im very, very happy that we went with New York jewelers!
