This store are the biggest crooks I bought my wife engagement ring from them a few years ago never got the ring appraised because I trusted them and took their word that the ring was what they said it was .I just replace my wife wedding band and bought her some new earrings and decided to get all her jewelry appraised for insurance purposes the appraisal told me the center diamond has been enhanced and was a very cheap bad stone but has been laser drilled to look like a higher clarity I was so hurt and disappointed when I hurt this.They are suppose to tell you what they are selling you,They didn’t give me the paperwork for the ring until a week also if you read all the reviews you will see they have a history of selling clarity enhanced diamond don’t waste your time or money with this shop.God will deal with this shop what you do to people other people will do to you and your family members.
I bought an engagement ring from them back in 2008. I just had it looked at by several jewelers recently who said diamond has been enhanced and close to worthless. Would not allow me to upgraded stone even though paper work they provided stated they would because all they sell are enhanced stones or color enhanced stones (which is same) and I was wanting to stone that was enhanced.
Purchased an engagement ring from this location a few years ago when I went to trade it in for an upgrade towards my wifes new ring I was told it was a clarity enhanced diamond which they wouldnt even except.to make matters worse I was told the center stone was very low quality and had scratches inside. Do you research know exactly what your getting and stay away from any diamonds that have been enhanced from any jeweler.
Lucky we stopped in one afternoon and found the perfect engagement rings. Right away we could say that Leon Diamond was special! Mike was professional, friendly helped us in finding the best rings of our choice. We also had a tour of the place and it cool! As it was an engagement ring, it was more special! We looked at plenty of designs taking a lot of time and then decided our rings. Mike seemed to be happier as it fitted in our fingers properly. We will visit again and would recommend Leon Diamond for all occasions!
Best about Leon Diamond is the prices are very reasonable with high quality and not like other jewelers we shopped before. We worked with Michael and he was very calm and patient talking to us. The quality of the diamond is unmatched and Michael spent time helping him to pick the perfect ring. The whole process was smooth unlike other shops. Nice customer service. Love that everything is guaranteed and free service for life on your ring, unless its stolen! Thanks for this wonderful time and would love to get compliments on the ring from everyone around me!
Scammers with clarity enhanced diamonds.
If youre buying diamonds, Leon Diamond is the place to be. Nice place, nicer people. The most beautiful jewelry I’ve ever worn in my life! I’ve had many friends also have great experiences working with this company who advised me to visit the place. What an experience – I will never go anywhere else. Looking forward to working with them for many years to come! The diamond ring I bought is a great value for money and also very pretty. People keep me asking about it so yes it was a wonderful decision visiting Leon. They show you the best designs along with options or even if you want to custom your ring.
We really appreciated your time and knowledge for your industry. Kelly and I will absolutely take the time to give you a glowing recommendation and encourage people to patron your establishment. We couldnt be happier with our purchase or who we purchased the ring through. Thanks again
When we went to other stores, the service was very unimpressive and the behavour was cold. All in all, it was the personalized service and Mikes interest in working with us to create the perfect ring for me rather than just selling what was available at Leon Diamond. In addition, they have a great warranty program. We will be long-term customers thanks to Mike for his service. We finally got it, I loved it. I can’t remember how many compliments I’ve gotten on it already. Would recommend Leon Diamond to my friends who like to buy quality pieces and get prime service.
I was introduced to Mike through my soon to be father-in-law. He has been using him for years and although I was hesitant to take his advice at first, I am glad I did. I live in Chicago and after comparing the rings I saw at the diamond district there with the ring Mike sold me, there is no comparison both in price and quality. With Mikes huge selection of diamonds and rings, I was able to get my fiance, Elizabeth, a ring that we have never seen anywhere else. We are both thrilled with the ring Mike helped us find and we recommend him to everyone that is looking for an engagement ring.
I have been spending so much time roaming around the diamond district to look for a nice gift for my daughter’s graduation slash birthday. I found the most impossible pair of diamond studs for my baby girl. I gave it to her yesterday and no doubt, she likes them sooooo much. Thank you Mike, my daughter and I really love your creations . I will surely purchase others!
Amazing staff, people, and service my experience their was a breathtaking, jaw dropping, and absolutely stunning regards to Mike Nekta a master of his work. I wouldnt reccomend any one else but Leon Diamond/ Nekta I wish them a happy hanukkah, and a healthy happy new year.
Custom jewelry made,clean,or fixed. Service good. You design they make it. Prices are moderate to expensive depending on what u want. Completely satisfied with my custom made jewelry. Will get more done there.
Very friendly staff. Quality products!
SCAMMERS ALERT. My parents bought a sapphire with certificate saying its a natural stone, gave it to GRS ( Swiss appraisal firm) and turned out to be synthetic ( man-made). 36K down the drain. You are to be warned walking into that store. Tried to contact them on multiple channels and so far I have been ignored.
My experience was really good. Its a big deal. Mike helped me and made me feel good. I loved the ring.
These guys are a bunch of crooks! They are smooth talkers but shady characters. They WILL sell you a clarity enhanced diamond without ever telling you that it is. Thats what they did to me. After the purchase they sneak the paperwork into the bag stating that it was clarity enhanced and rated by EGL (which is not a reputable grading company). Stay away from these guys!
After 8 years with my girlfriend, I felt it was time to pop the question. Nervously and secretly I did my diamond research, found out her size, and narrowed down the styles she liked (she had no clue). I bought my train ticket and headed straight to The Diamond District in NYC. I walked all the way to the DD to calm my nerves and gather my thoughts. I stopped by a nice Irish pub for a burger and a few beers to help. Suddenly, while walking to a shop I was referred to from a close friend, I literally bumped right into the owner of my barber shop in Long Island *(Shout out to Romans Barber Shop). I told him I was ring shopping and he instantly took me to meet Richie at Leon Diamond. Long story short and three shots of vodka later, I knew I found the perfect stone. Richie was a young man himself and had just recently gotten engaged. He explained to me everything I needed to know from laser enhancements to insurance appraisals. I thought I did my homework on the 4 Cs, but it turns out that there was a lot I didn’t know at all. I made sure to check out a couple other stores on the block because it was my first time ring shopping and I was still skeptical of salesmen. I experienced that most other salesmen didn’t want to mention laser enhancements until I brought it up. I just didn’t feel comfortable anywhere else other than Leon. Richie was very patient with me while helping me pick out the perfect stone and setting. Finally, it was complete. The ring was top quality and the price was worked out reasonably. I made my purchase a day later, popped the question, and everything worked out beautify. My fiancé gets nonstop compliments and the two of us are very happy. Thank you Leon Diamond for helping us solidify our love.
Ive dealt with Avi in the past and he is well educated on everything diamond. I thought I researched it all but he was still able to show me a few things I didnt know. He helped me pick out the most PERFECT ring for my now wife and worked with me on the price as well. I could not be happier and my wife absolutely adores her ring. I recommend all my friends to him and he hasnt let me down once. Thank you guys very much!!
Just wanted to say thanks for doing such a great job on her ring it looks gorgeous and the two bylgari rings shine better than new.
A great jewelry store at the heart of Manhattan. Customer service at its best.
We stopped in one afternoon and found the perfect engagement ring. Right away we could say that this shop was special, no high pressure sales! Mike was professional, friendly helped us in finding the rings of our choice. We also had a tour of the workshop and it cool! We looked at plenty of designs taking a lot of time and then decided our rings. Mike seemed to be happier as the final fitting went perfectly. We will visit again and would recommend Mike and Leon Diamond for all occasions!
My husband has purchased all of my jewelry from Avi. He is so personal and everything is just perfect. Cant say enough great things about Leon Diamond!!!
Best about Leon Diamond is the prices are very reasonable with high quality and not like other jewelers we shopped before. We worked with Michael and he was very calm and patient talking to us.

MIKE NEKTA THE KING OF DIAMONDSMike Nekta is a diamond designer extraordinaire!My fiancé first found Mike through Instagram and Youtube and instantly fell in love with his flawless jaw dropping diamonds. She has been following his Instagram and Youtube accounts obsessively for over a year. My fiancé is very fussy and particular and she would only have Mike Nekta’s diamonds and designs.We are based in Australia and I can assure you there is no way you will find anything close to Mike Nekta’s jewellery. We first made contact with Mike via email and he responded quickly to our request. We phoned him from Australia and discussed our request for a wedding band- more of a diamond eternity band style. Mike was extremely professional, knowledgable and patient. We knew nothing about buying a diamond ring from the USA and having it shipped to Australia but we knew we wanted Mike as our jeweller and he made us feel happy and comfortable. You have his complete attention and although he is always very busy, somehow he never keeps you waiting. Communication was outstandingly excellent especially considering we are communicating from Australia on different timezones. Mike would send progress updates and emails whilst he was hand crafting my fiancé ’s beautiful ring. He even sent through a video whilst in the making of the custom beauty. Mike kept contact throughout the entire process (even after we had received it). When the ring was completed he finalised all shipping paperwork and requirements and made specific notations to ensure we could apply for concessional rate of duty as per the Australian - US Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA). Mike then sent through the tracking number. The parcel soon arrived to Australian customs and the shipping company Fedex made contact with me to please pay the GST only. Mike made the whole process very simple. He is very fair, genuine and professional and he really helped me hold onto that 5% duty which saved me money and was much appreciated. One day later we received the BEAUTIFUL ring.The best part.We were absolutely blown away and it left my fiancé speechless! The ring is absolute perfection. The diamonds would outshine any other diamond ring here in Australia. The sparkle and shine is brilliant and blinding even from across the room. The setting is truly unique in every way and only Mike Nekta can create this specialised extraordinary micro pave setting. This type of perfection is unseen here in the diamond jewellery industry of Australia. There is simply no comparison. The absolute impeccable craftsmanship is jaw-dropping.My fiancé is very particular and fussy and she cant stop smiling and staring at her ring, she says it is breathtakingly beautiful.What can we say about Mike Nekta?He is the Master of his craft.Mike has impeccable taste, knowledge and experience and no order is too small.I respect his professionalism, his artistic talent and expertise. He is extremely hard working and an incurable perfectionist. He is extremely passionate about his work and it shows. His execution is top notch, he truly creates masterpieces.We are now looking forward to meeting him in person and visiting his store in New York next year for our anniversary. We would never buy a diamond anywhere else. We will be lifetime clients and Mike Nekta will be our preferred family jeweller.
