Help me shop for jewelry

Buying an expensive piece of jewelry can be exciting, exhilarating, adventuresome, frustrating, tiring, confusing and time consuming - all at the same time! Often, shopping at more places only adds to your indecision. In sharp contrast to even a mere decade ago, today you have a lot of options when buying a piece of jewelry. Do you have a style, period, manufacturer, dealer or source in mind? In the metropolitan Tri-State area, a very similar piece of jewelry can often be purchased from a variety of sources, at a wide range of prices! We help clients save an average of $1,000 to $5,000 on diamond ring purchases--simply by acting as advisors.

Understanding your needs, your preferences, and your tastes is the most important first step in navigating your way to the successful acquisition of jewelry. We can assist you in articulating exactly that which you seek. We bring to bear our deep passion, understanding and experience of the gems, the various precious metals, methods of manufacture, craftsmanship, artisans, the jewelry industry, local and global markets and the history and culture of jewelry to direct you to the appropriate sources that can best satisfy your expectations. Jewelry is often handed down from generation to generation - you are buying not just for the present, but for all eternity. Let us help you come to the optimal decision.

Perhaps you are buying an important piece of jewelry to add to your collection, and you merely seek an unbiased, professional guidance to confirm your decision. Remember, we do not sell jewelry, but we’ll help you sort out all the facts and make the right decision. In this situation, we’re providing professional counsel - we act as a coach.
