Excellent service and result
March 27, 2025

Ordered a custom ring using one of their diamonds. Went through several CAD designs and made revisions to my exact requests. They handled the manufacturing of the ring and setting. It arrived promptly after they finished setting. 10/10 could not have asked for a better experience overall.

Breathtaking ring
April 4, 2025
Updated review

The engagement ring I received from Distinctive Gem really is distinctive. I gasped when I first saw it, and my wife did as well when I gave it to her. I feel so lucky to have found Sarah, Jonathan, and Caysie. It feels truly special and unique. I can't praise it enough. I contacted Distinctive Gem through their website and received a quick response from Sarah. Sarah was terrific with both answering direct process questions, as well as providing great suggestions on color and material pairings. She even suggested a ring size out of nowhere and it ended up a perfect fit! Who knows, she might have mystical powers. Just a great experience and the most beautiful ring ever. Thanks Sarah, Jonathan, and Caysie!

Jonathan is the guy!
May 27, 2024

Jonathan was great, highly recommend! He was very communicative through email and even made YouTube videos of the diamonds so that I could see it in different lighting. He worked diligently to find exactly what my girlfriend wants. With so many options of diamonds online, I found it difficult to distinguish which diamonds are excellent quality. This is where his vetting service comes in, his expertise and diamond technology are top notch. Was blown away with the diamond we received. If you're in the market for an engagement ring, Jonathan is your guy.

Great Customer Service and Quality
July 29, 2024

Quality diamond at a reasonable price, highly recommend. I gave Distinctive Gem a chance after several customers recommended them due to their sheer quality diamonds. The research Distinctive Gem does is truly amazing.

Perfection, period.
December 19, 2023

Wonderful experience, I would recommend Distinctive Gem and Jonathan Weingarten to anyone looking for diamonds and custom made pieces. My ring is gorgeous, but words can't do justice to what an incredible job the master bench did on the fabrication, especially of the double claw prongs. Even better than I could have ever imagined.

Working with Jonathan was an absolute pleasure. He took the time to get an understanding of what I was looking for and helped me through the process to create something I was in love with. He never got frustrated with my endless questions, and he educated me along the way. I really appreciate that he wanted to find something that was perfect for me. Could not recommend more highly.

Custom ring
March 30, 2024

I had a design I liked from a small jewelry store but didn't trust their quality, so I reached out to Jonathan and he was able to design something that encapsulated all the things i had wanted from that ring with the distinctive touch and quality. It turned out very nice i cant say enough good things.

Beautiful AVC that sparkles like mad!
September 9, 2018

I purchased a 1.67 ct AVC on-line without ever seeing this cut in person. It is simply beautiful and sparkles like crazy! The transaction was seamless, and I totally recommend working with August Vintage Inc. for amazing diamonds!

Great Experience

Worked with Jonathan on designing a custom ring. He was great in every way from initial contact to selecting the right center stone to getting the correct size. Would recommend to anyone who desires professional expertise, close attention to detail and excellent hands-on customer service.

Just perfect
January 22, 2019

If you are even remotely considering a stone from Jonathan's August Vintage collection, stop thinking and just do it. Believe me, you will not be disappointed. I purchased an AV cushion just last week and I can not even begin to describe how beautiful and unique this diamond is. And the personal service that Jonathan provided was second to none. Also, if you haven't browsed the August Vintage Youtube channel, I really would encourage you to do so. Jonathan provides an incredible amount of insight on the science behind what makes for a beautiful diamond in a very digestible manner-- I felt incredibly empowered after watching his tutorials. Thanks for all of the help Jonathan! Cheers.
