Artiste Jewelers 223 Columbus Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10023

"it has been my go-to for most of my upper west side jewelry help/ buys but I did have a bad experience recently. I was guided to a pretty expensive "fix" to one of my jewelry issues (broken lock) and we decided to get a second opinion. When I decided to go with the second opinion, I was treated quite poorly (potentially what you do with new business), but it was not great conversation and I was told "I was not a good listener". I was good listener, I just didn't think they had charged and refunded my credit card before I showed up with the actual physical card. My bad. if you are ready to be told that, then go ahead."

"I think I’ve been a customer for 10 years or more.. and I create unique pieces of jewelry as well as buy items I love to add to my collection. Exquisite, timeless and beautiful design and craftsmanship. Thank you all!! Cannot speak highly enough about them.. ❤️❤️ paula"

"I came to Gee at Artiste Jewelers to purchase an engagement ring based on a recommendation from a friend, and I'm quite pleased with my results. I had a bunch of opinions, a few ideas, and exactly three photos, and from those inputs, we were able to make something really special. Gee was extremely communicative throughout the process. He indulged my whims and even brought in some unconventionally colored diamonds for me to look at. In the end, the ring looks fantastic, it's sufficiently unique, and he was even able to beat the expected delivery date by a few days (it's good to have a little runway for these kinds of things). If you're shopping around for fine jewelry, I think paying Artiste Jewelers a visit for an opinion and/or quote will be worth your while."

"I have been in the possession of my husband's grandmother's very traditional pronged-setting ring - with a sapphire and two diamonds. It was hard for me to wear - except on rare occasions - because the stones set up so high on the ring. Gee and I worked together to reimagine it into two very wearable and modern looking rings. I can stack them or wear one on each hand. We are thrilled."

"Whether you are shopping for an engagement ring, or a special piece of jewelry, Artiste Jewelers will take excellent care of you. They are extremely attentive to what you are looking for. I purchased an engagement ring, as well as an Australian Boulder Opal that are both beautiful and exactly what I needed. My fiancee is very happy with her new jewelry! All thanks to Artiste Jewelers."
