Carlos Miguel Lasa Ara helped us with same day resizing for our engagement ring and was very professional, courteous and speedy (we were done in 10-15 minutes!). He really customized it so that it was a perfect fit - my fiancée was an eighth of a size up from what the ring sizer suggested. Would suggest calling him in advance to let him know youre coming - we came early in the morning and the building wasnt open yet, but he was very responsive on the phone. Hes located on the mezzanine floor of the building, room 21 (we got a little lost at first finding it). Pricing was very reasonable as well, especially for same day service! Would definitely come back for future jewelry needs!

Katie Gager I can’t recommend Marisa Perry enough! My now-husband and I first discovered MP through a friend’s recommendation back in 2018 when we started looking into designing my engagement ring. We visited a few other jewelers, but immediately felt the most connected to MP and knew they were the ones who would help us create my perfect ring. From the beginning, we worked with Nesrine, who was incredible. She went above and beyond to help us find the perfect stone and was incredibly patient with us as it took several months to get everything just right. We also trusted MP with our wedding bands, and they turned out just as beautiful and meaningful as my engagement ring. We truly feel so lucky to have found such an amazing jeweler. Although we’ve since moved to Colorado, we continue to work with Nesrine virtually or make annual visits to MP to select meaningful jewelry for anniversaries, birthdays, push presents, and more. Marisa Perry has earned our trust and loyalty, and we wouldn’t go anywhere else for our jewelry purchases. If youre looking for something truly special, high quality, and an incredible shopping experience, MP is the place to go!

Andrew Pitkin Visited Gallery Jewelers today in search of a new wedding band since mine no longer fit. The staff were all helpful & gave me a fair price for a new band which I love. They even offered my wife a free cleaning on her engagement ring and wedding band. Want to wish a big congratulations to the owner on 60 years in the business!!

Stephanie Daugherty While I didnt go and pick out the ring, my fiance could not have been fun to deal with during his multiple trips to pick out the perfect engagement ring. My ring is perfect, exactly what I always wanted and the fact that it wasnt just some preset item on a store shelf somewhere but instead something he had to pick out and design means more.

Jonathan Alvarado Best around great deals

Skyman Wanted to expand my gold pendant collection and came across FJNY. Best bang for your dollar! Pendant is beautiful and shipping was fast. No insane markups, so will be shopping again! The customer service is amazing as well, answered all my questions quickly and made the transaction smooth.

Stephanie Richards I purchased a custom three ring engagement/wedding ring set in platinum (not the easiest metal to work with) in a very specific setup that was a challenge for any jeweler. Honestly, I had hesitation in not being able to walk in and deal face to face. After speaking to Imanuel (sp) via text and over the phone several times I was assured they could handle the task. He was willing to start work immediately (didnt even ask for a deposit) and I provided what we wanted. He was VERY easy to work with and was always in contact. He sent us the selection of settings and we were able to customize them to our very specific needs. After we made the final design changes they worked very quickly to get us the rings and they were perfect - except they were too small - my fault. My bride to bes fingers change size regularly as she has RA and she couldnt get the rings on her swollen fingers - something we failed to take into consideration. I called Imanuel to see if he could assist and he gladly said to send them back and he would make each ring a different custom size (we sent an existing ring with each one to provide an exact size template.) My error caused him to have to redo each ring and add platinum to make them perfect - which he did. He did all this in a VERY quick timeline and without hesitation. He was very easy to work with and our 100% satisfaction was his goal. I have never worked with any jeweler that provides such complete service. This was paramount and my priority but it should also be noted that his pricing is EXTREMELY fair as well - which is a bonus. I will never buy jewelry anywhere else. They are top of the line and a pleasure to work with on your custom jewelry needs. Recommend without hesitation.
