Most New Yorkers know 47th Street, the main thoroughfare of the Diamond District, a micro community of storefronts with fluorescent-lit window displays overflowing in diamonds, gold and gemstones. Men stand out front calling, "Gold and diamonds, we buy gold and diamonds," and urging customers to enter. What New Yorkers don't know is that 90% of all diamonds that enter the U.S. pass through this district.

One of the best jewelers who can make anything you can think of in greatest detail I gave them a scatch of my ideal ring and with in two weeks Ekstra Design had it finished in such detail I was simply amazed and Alex was able to save me few thousand dollars on my diamond with came with GIA cert the platinum ring was a work of act to say the least. 30 years in the business he has a great name for craftsmanship and detail making custom jewerly.

another great NY discovery is the fine jewelry department at Lord and Taylor on 39th and 5th. Recent store rennovations have added this department of top quality, "designer" amazing luxury products---and not the usual NYC dept store high mark-up (Bergdorf's, etc).
The quality was terrific, as well as the service. One can shop confidently there, knowing that they will not be taken for a ride found at cartier, van clef, etc.
a rare nyc find!

Ive been there, they have beautiful jewlery and do not try to rip you off they will show you two rings same cts but show you that there isnt much different just price some diamonds have inclusions i believe he called that you can not see which are drastically cheaper than one that has none and theyre stock from before diamonds and gold went up have stayed at the same price and if you find a ring now that you like and decide you want to upgrade you bring the ring back to them they give you full value of what you paid for that ring towards another ring i just wouldnt tell them im upgrading till i have picked out the ring and hustled them to the price i want lol and then hit them with okk well im want an upgrade so save your reciept

I am from San Diego and was considering Liori as well, but would appreciate very much some insight because it is very hard to find reviews on them and they are okay on the BBB, but there isnt much on there either. They seem too good to be true! Please let me know first hand experiences or facts about them. Thanks

Just recieved a ring from Liori diamonds, although the ring is very beautiful, I noticed it is extremely light in gold weight. I went to the local gold smith who is a danish certified jewlery maker with his own shop. The ring I purchased was to be 18K gold (came with no stamp) when tested yes I was standing right there came in at 14K acid test so results can vary. I also had the diamond color looked at, I was told the diamond was a E came in at a JK color. I have emailed Liori to give direct and fair feedback and was at first not warmly recieved, they said they would give a refund but not they never said Full refund. I would suggest to anyone that is considering purchasing to note the weight of the gold first in the rings. I am dissapointed and still within the 14 day return policy. I am on the fence as I really like the design and they do sparkle but I am not convinced they will stand up to any daily wear.

Second opinion, from another jeweler, I am going to keep these rings. I am told they will hold up to daily wear and if the company offers the warranty as Liori does then not to worry. I do love the design I do think there is some over rating on the color of the center stone and the gold I cannot unless I agree to have the ring drilled into prove without a doubt to myself that it is 14k or 18k gold. I would still recommend to you to get the gram weight on the gold so you are not surprised. I will give Liori very high marks for the proffessional way they dealt with me on the purchase etc. they are very attentive and quick to respond back. I hope that this helps you as I have gone to great lengths to prove to myself the quality of the product. As for me I would make another purchase from this company. Happy with my rings and the rings did appraise out higher than what was paid for them.
