Purchased an emerald in 2022 from GemsNY in 2022 and had a platinum setting made. After only 2 months of wear the baguette diamond fell out of one side. And of course was not covered under their warranty as they say they only cover the setting. Spent several hundred dollars sending it back, and had to pay to replace the diamond as I did not want to make an insurance claim so soon. It is now April and the other diamond is loose and about to fall out of setting. Luckily she noticed before it fell out. Do not waste your money with this company. Their customer service is great when you are purchasing but horrendous thereafter. Beautiful ring but horrible quality setting and no effort from this company to remedy.

We are sorry to hear about your experience. Our team has sent you a prepaid label to inspect the ring and tighten stone, which is covered under our warranty. As we strive for 100% satisfaction, I see the team has also offered to provide a full refund on the setting to keep you happy. Please note that this ring was purchased in 2021 and you contacted us a year later in 2022 about a lost diamond. We did inspect the ring and did not find any structural issue. However, we did agree to replace the stone at our cost and there was no charge for resetting the gem or the ring polish. You were very happy with the outcome at the time. We look forward to hearing from you to getting the ring repaired and back on her hand!

Making a huge investment online without physically inspecting the gems is a scary proposition, but I am delighted I trusted GemsNY. Their prices blew away my local brick and mortar stores and the stone is exactly as advertised. If anything they undersold how well it was cut. And my order was made even better because I had a problem - the setting didn't quite work with my wife's wedding band. I was able to get a local setting and send back the one that didn't work for a full refund. So my wife got just what she wanted at a considerable discount -- all with great service. I'd happily use GemsNY again.

Our experience shopping for a blue sapphire engagement ring at GemsNY was excellent. My fiancé and I are thrilled with the finished product and the service we got from Ernie. We enjoyed meeting with him personally in his Midtown office, where we got to pick out our perfect sapphire and he explained everything about the services GemsNY offered. He was very friendly and professional, and not at all pushy; we truly enjoyed working with him. We highly recommend and will be back when it's time to shop for wedding bands.

Home Run
March 5, 2018

We had a sapphire and diamond ring made by GemsNY, and we could not have been happier. The opposite of most jewelry sales experience, They were thoughtful, patient, did not try and upsell.in any way. Was all about getting the best stone for our budget. We could not be happier, will recommend to all our friends.

I've made two purchases now. GemsNY provides a wide selection of top quality gemstones at a very fair price. The high-tech photography, factually accurate descriptions, faithful colour representation, and copies of certifications allows the buyer to make an informed, relaxed and considered decision. I dealt with Vishal, who was efficient, communicative, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The postage all the way down here to Australia was swift and efficient. GemsNY gets my highest recommendation. If you want to purchase a gemstone, this is the place!

Found my perfect ruby!
November 23, 2018

I had been looking for 6 years for the perfect upgrade to my current wedding set and I found it! I get compliments everyday about how beautiful my ring is. I couldn't be happier and I tell everyone I know that if they're looking for beautiful jewelry, this is the place to shop.

We are very pleased with the sapphire we purchased from you. Heres the stone after being placed in a setting by our local jeweler (they were also impressed with the sapphire quality). We like your website, the purchase transaction was easy & the actual stone matched what you had pictured on your website.

Thanks & Regards Jeff & Dot Jacksonville, Florida

I bought my wife a sapphire ring about a year ago. It arrived quicker than I expected and it was perfect. My wife was beyond pleased. I plan on buying a pair of sapphire earrings for her this year. GemsNY is the best.

Tourmaline ring
September 10, 2019

I wanted a pink tourmaline ring i ordered four different rings from different company's and returned them. I found GemsNY online I picked out the stone and setting and ordered the ring expecting that when it came I would be disappointed once again. Wow was I wrong I'm so glad I ordered from this company. The color is exactly what I have been looking for.

I had to replace a stone out of one of my rings for my son to have an engagement ring made for his future wife. I found the perfect stone for my three stone ring to replace the center stone I had taken out. I found an absolute gorgeous sky blue sapphire which is stunning in my ring. I get lots of compliments and the appraisal I got showed also that the quality and value of this stone was in line with the Gemsy description on their website. Ernie was very helpful. Will definitely shop there again and recommend Gemsy to my son and to my husband...

My dream ring
May 1, 2018

I received my ring a few weeks ago and haven't gotten around to a review, but it was so important to me that I did because it is gorgeous! Both Ernie and Vishal were amazing help. The ring itself is stunning and I receive so many compliments. What I like most is that it is unique, no one has one like it!

I know that jewelry is something you won't even consider buying online but this company is the real deal. I already purchased from them twice before and will definitely purchase again. Reasonable prices backed up great customer service. Ernie really treats his customers with utmost respect. Kudos to Gems NY.

I have always wanted a ruby engagement ring, but had just about given up until I came across gemsNY. Most shops rent a few rubies and try to push them on you with little to no information.

I made an appointment and they were able to show me all the nuances in different clarity, colors, brilliance, and heated/non heated (walked me through more like). Prices were at least half what we had seen at places before and in my one appointment, I saw over 10 stones in person.

I can't speak for the online experience, but I highly suggest this company (and if you can make a quick trip or a vacation to NYC, you can see any stone from the website in person!) People were very friendly, helpful, and I never felt pressured out o my price range - they showed stones well below in fact!

Awesome
August 2, 2014

Awesome. Just received our fourth it from Gemsny. They have been great. Wife's engagement ring has the most beautiful sapphire I've ever seen. Two wedding bands. And now a matching pendant with another stunning sapphire.

Great jewels, selection and service.

I have not made a purchase yet. I can say that the response back to my questions regarding rubies I looked at was timely, detailed, and very helpful. I found their policies laid out very clearly on their website. The selection of rubies, sapphires and emeralds along with ring and pendant settings is awesome. Now, if I could only make up mind, I would definitely buy from Gemsny.

GemsNY.com is awesome
January 12, 2012

GemsNY.com is awesome. They have excellent quality and the customer service cannot be beat. Vishnu has patiently worked with me during two transactions. The first was the purchase of my fiancee's engagement ring. The most recent was a sapphire pendant for Christmas. Both times he sent me multiple stones, more than a couple times, until we were happy with our selection. He has great knowledge and will work with you closely to find the perfect stone and setting. The quality of the their craftsmanship is superb. I recommend them highly. You can purchase with confidence. They stand behind their work and their word.

I had an issue with one of the stones in my beautiful pendant, and Ernie at GemsNY helped me replace this stone. The process was quick and easy, considering I am in California. I would not hesitate to purchase again from GemsNY, as well as recommend them to my friends. Thank you Ernie for all your help. :)
