Quality jewelry and great service.

I had a short deadline, but when I called they said they could get the bracelet done on time. They were true to their word and my wife loved it. The quality was great and the price was even better. I would recommend GemsNY to anyone that want quality jewelry and great service.

Lousy Cheap Emerald

I do not appreciate the way this establishment does business. I purchased an emerald that was of terrible quality. The person (Ernie) I dealt with mentioned it was great did not advice as to the inclusions. It had air bubbles all over it and looked more like a cheap plastic knock off. I asked for a refund (over $3200) however they disputed and opted for a store credit. Basically, they force me to purchase from them. I do not want to purchase another cheap piece of jewelry. I think I can save a load of money by going on vacation next time to Colombia and purchase emeralds from the source.

With regards to the GemsNY response. First, please do not run to your legal statements on the website (buyer beware). Also in no way does any of the stock images show the significant inclusions on the 'emerald' I purchased. Also, in no circumstances was I mentioned that the ring was non-refundable by Ernie. Your trade up option (purchase an item at least $3500 in value to get a credit) is a Win-Lose proposition. I need to spend another $600 to get a $2900 store credit? Are you for serious? As of now, this merchant has the ring and also a free $3200 in credit. Nice way of doing business. I should have been more cautious of the 'gamed' online reviews before purchasing. Buyer beware!

Hi Mohammad Ayaz Haniffa,
We are sorry you are not happy with the emerald ring you ordered. As was mentioned to you and listed on our site, all emeralds have visible imperfections with the naked eye and are the most visibly included gemstones that exist. The emerald you purchased was a large size (3ct+) but of average clarity, as listed on the details page of the ring. We list all characteristics of the gems purchased, which allows customers to know what they are receiving. The imperfections were also visible on the image of the gem provided to you.

Unfortunately, we were not able to issue a refund because you purchased a non-returnable item. Despite Ernie cautioning you that engraved jewelry is not returnable (just as our site explains very clearly), you opted to have it engraved. He went as far as to recommend that you purchase the ring and then have the ring engraved locally if everything works out well, just so you had the option to return. To be clear, Ernie did not take your order - after your discussions with him, you placed the order yourself online where you saw the following message when you clicked to enter your engraving:
“Please Note: Engraved items are not returnable…”
Furthermore, in order to complete your order you actively checked the following box:
“I understand rings with engraving are not returnable. I confirm that I have read and understand GemsNY's return policy.”

In the end, we presented our Trade-up option so you could exchange it and provided you the best deal possible. We have made every accommodation to help you and are happy to assist you in resolving the matter.

Thanks to the help of Ernie

Thanks to the help of Ernie, I purchased a beautiful heart cut ruby that more than met me expectations. The customer service that I received from Gymsny was professional, patient, and commendable. I can't wait till its time to pick stones for earrings.

Excellent quality and service at GemNY!

I never thought I could match a stone on-line. The stone arrived and was a perfect match due to the quality photos, measurements, facet configuration, and CCC that GemsNY provided. It arrived as expected. I am a very difficult customer to please, and they did so quiet easily. I recommend GemsNY to everyone.

Great product. Better customer service with reasonable prices. Perfect on-line shopping experience. We even had to modify the product slightly and they were very responsive and helpful!

GemsNy is very genuine store and genuine people.

I ordered online and got the stone tested by local lab. It was as perfect as they mentioned on their store with all the certificates.

The way they designed the ring is really stunning!

Their customer service is easy to deal with and excellent specially when you are dealing with high value items.

Exactly what I had been searching for.

I had been shopping the internet for several months, trying to find a specific size, shape and quality of Emerald. When I finally landed on the GemsNY site, I found several appropriate, quality stones in a wide range of colour and quality. The prices were very reasonable.
Upon my first selection, the GemsNY rep informed me that the stone I chose was in fact lighter in colour than it appeared in the photo and suggested I choose one with a deeper colour. I did exactly that and three days later, when my second choice arrived, I was very happy with the deep green colour and quality of my second selection. More importantly, my daughter was very pleased when she received the pendant in which I had the Emerald set.
Further, I will say that I found the delivery time (in this case three days to Canada) the fastest shipping of any item I have ever purchased from the US. Very good service indeed.

Simply the best! Selection, quality, service and price.

One of the best online shopping experiences ever coupled with outstanding customer service from the Gems NY people! The selection of stones (pink sapphires and diamonds in my case) and settings was by far the best and broadest I could find online. The pricing was the best I could find anywhere. Add excellent customer service and interest free financing, and you have what I consider the best experience I've ever had shopping for jewelry. My fiance - now wife - loves her ring which ultimately is what mattered when it was all said and done. I'll be back to Gems NY!

A gem

In my opinion Gemsny is a great place to buy gems and jewelry. Ernie did his best with me and even recommended against his own interests to give me a true opinion. And my ring came out great. But I do have a recommendation of my own, they need better pictures of the gems and also hd video to get a better understanding of what your buying, because their pictures either doesn't do their gem justice or the gem has flaws you can't see in the picture they have. But other that i will be buying at least another ring or two.

Awesome!!

From start to finish, my experience was great. They were the only place IN THE WORLD that I could find, holding an untreated emerald cut peach sapphire (I did LOADS of research...I even called Sri Lanka)!! Most places try to sell you a radiant or mixed cut octagonal stone and that is not what I wanted. I was a little weary when I ordered the stone because it really seemed orange in the picture but, when I received the stone, it was GORGEOUS. Ernie was so pleasant and really seemed happy to answer all of my questions. One thing I would suggest is to not make the website images of the stone opaque and maybe provide some high definition videos of the stones to give people the best idea of what their buying. Not being sure of how it would look really gave me anxiety. I'm sure there's a reason for this but it would also be great if they allowed you to pick up the package at the FedEx store if you aren't available for the delivery. Overall, the service, the quality of the stone, and the pricing makes for an incredible experience. Couldn't be happier!

I received my ruby ring as a 40th anniversary present. It is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. My husband said that the company and staff were awesome to work with and that he had the ring customized to exactly what he envisioned. I would definitely use this company again and have gotten numerous compliments on it. Thanks

Great experience

Great experience. My fiance loves the gem that I purchased for her for a unique engagement ring. The quality of the stone was as described, and the price was fantastic. Great customer service, answering questions and even expediting my order to arrive the next day. Thank you!

Purchase review

I was reluctant to do business with a company so far away for so much money. In talking to the employees during the ordering process they were reassuring and I became more comfortable. Because of their experiance with jewelery they made suggestions which improved the look of the ring I purchased.
The ring arrived and it was everything we thought it would be. We are happy with the ring, price and service. I would do business here again.

Underwhelmed, disappointed and sad...- WORKING WITH Ernie

After reconnecting with my high school sweetheart 30 years later, we searched diligently for a unique, original piece to symbolize the magic of finding each other again.....I'm fairly knowledgeable about gemstones and knew what I wanted in a ring. I'd admired an untreated, flawless sapphire for a long time on this site but it always was listed as "on hold". I was thrilled to have the stone released for purchase after contacting the site to inquire about how long it would remain on hold! I ordered my ring set in rose gold in a setting with half a carat total weight of princess cut accent diamonds. The ring was shipped timely and received well- packaged. Upon opening the box I was completely underwhelmed with the ring. The center stone is pretty but looks to be nowhere near a carat (it was listed as .99). The setting itself is very light, very thin, very unsubstantial.....and looks "cheap". The prongs of the shared prong setting are all rose gold.....very little contrast as would be with white gold prongs and head for center stone and accent stones. The accent stones were listed as .54 carats total weight and again, it looks like considerably less. I desperately want to adore this ring and be proud to display it on my finger but overall I'm just sad and disappointed at the result. The site is very easy to navigate. The selection was great and I enjoyed the interactive process of picking out my stone and setting. The gentleman who responded to my e-mail inquiring about the "on hold" status of the sapphire was informative, pleasant and responsive timely. I've no plans to return the piece - I've waited 30 years to be reunited with the love of my life.....this is the ring we designed together and this is the ring I'll wear....but I'd be lying if I said I absolutely love it because I don't.....

I've spoken with Ernie who has been very helpful in providing education regarding the density of sapphires vs. diamonds. Moving forward, I now understand that a 1ct. sapphire will look smaller than a 1ct. diamond - I've appreciated the education provided!
Ernie is repairing a prong on the ring and has been incredibly accommodating and helpful. While my new husband and I were initially committed to keeping the piece we designed together originally, we are discussing the benefit offered by GemsNY to "Trade Up" and may inquire about designing a piece we're happier with.

I’m sorry you aren't 100% satisfied with your order and didn't reach out to us so we could address your issues. We would have guided you to take advantage of our generous 30-day return period to exchange or return the item. I would like to address your issues as it will be helpful for future customers.

Regarding the size of the sapphire you selected, our education section and carat weight popup on the product details page guides customers to focus on measurements and not carat weight of a gem, given that color gemstones tend to be cut deeper than diamonds. For this reason the same carat weight sapphire will appear smaller – i.e. your ~1ct. sapphire measures ~5.8mm across, while a 1ct. diamond would measure ~6.5mm.

The ring you selected has a solid band and the band was 2.4mm wide (which is average width for a women's ring) as listed on the website. A wider ring will have more weight. Unfortunately, 14K is a lighter metal than 18K and platinum, which we can exchange for you if you would like.

We do offer two tone rings for the ring style you chose, however you elected to have the ring created in one metal.

Thank you for the compliments regarding the ease of use of our interactive site, the selection we offer, the service of our staff, our shipping & packaging, and our timeliness. We have attempted to connect with you to rectify these issues. Unfortunately, we have not heard back. If you would still like to make some adjustments to your ring, please contact us at info@gemsny.com or 888-436-7692.

Natural Ruby Ear Studs

I couldn't be happier with the precious gems buying experience (both price and quality) with GemsNY. The rubies were exactly as described and appraisals were included to facilitate getting them insured. I'll definitely be ordering from them again.

Sapphire Rose Gold Engagment Ring

It came on time even though they were experiencing heavy snow in New York at the time of shipping. They even called to tell me it would possibly be late and still delivered it earlier than expected. The ring is beautiful, and exactly as described!!! GemsNY is unbeatable!
