Cannot recommend Richard enough. He worked with me from beginning to end on setting up a surprise proposal, worked off of pictures of my fiances hand and rings that she wore to come up with the perfect setting and even assisted to re-size after the proposal. A+ service.
Richard is amazing!! I came to have diamonds reset from earrings into a custom ring. I got quotes from all around the city, and his had the best combination of reasonable pricing plus super high reviews. Richard was able to complete the project in a week and a half for me, reaching out throughout the way for my input each step of the process. He was super responsive over email, answering all my many questions. He’s obviously got deep jewelry expertise because he was able to design a piece from scratch that is super comfortable and beautiful. I’m definitely going to go back for other projects... Richard is awesome and 100% worth your trust! I found my forever NYC jeweler
I cannot thank Richard enough for the advice, guidance, and comfort he had given me throughout both engagement ring and wedding band design and purchase. He made what could be a very stressful experience an absolute pleasure. My fiancé and I could not be happier with the outcome. Looking forward to having a lifelong jeweler that I can trust along with a lifelong friend. Thank you
My fiancé and I used Richard for my engagement ring, and he did not disappoint! Richard made the very intimidating process of ring shopping comfortable, and easy. He took great care of us, and my ring turned our beautiful! We would highly recommend Richard and his team for anyone looking for jewelry. Thank you Richard !
Cant say enough good things about Richard and his business. Richard was tremendously helpful in guiding me through the engagement ring process. My fiance is thrilled with the result! His customer service is top-notch, his pricing is fair, and he delivered a beautiful ring on a tight timeline. Highly recommend Mr. Wasserman.
Richard and Chris are amazing. They helped me find a gorgeous sapphire and diamond tennis bracelet. Great quality, great price, great experience! Very patient, accommodating, and personable. My family has been doing business with Richard for years and we have always had an outstanding experience. I highly recommend seeing him for all your jewelry needs when in NYC!
I recently used Richard Wasserman Jewel Galleries for the my fiancé’s engagement ring and I could not be happier with how it came out and the experience that Richard provided through the process. I went to many jewellers before finding Richard and when I met Richard I was instantly sold on him because he cared about what I wanted and did not try to push anything on me. He was incredibly professionally, extremely knowledgeable, and hands down has a superior selection to anything I had previously looked at. I told him what I wanted and he delivered. He was extremely fair and provided me with a magnificent finished product that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Richard if you are looking for a wonderful engagement ring. Thank You Richard.
Richard was incredibly accommodating from the get go. I came to Richard with limited diamond knowledge and undecided on what I was looking for in an engagement ring. My fiancé and I immediately felt comfortable and trusted his opinion during our first appointment. He then met with me on three separate occasions to nail down a three stone engagement ring that exceeded our expectations and was within our budget (with no pressure or need to move up). We highly recommend Richard for any jewelry and engagement ring experience. Thank you for helping us create our dream ring!
We have known Richard for over 25 years and i cant imagine going anywhere else for our jewelry. Whether it is buying new jewelry, custom making jewelry, altering, repairing or repurposing, we have never been disappointed with Richards care or the quality of the work. Whenever we see him he always asks if i am still happy with my jewelry. Most recently Richard helped me change a couple of rings that i no longer wear into necklaces and i am thrilled with them.
I got my engagement ring from Richard Wasserman Jewelers, and I couldnt be happier with it! My fiance & I worked with Richard to design the ring, and it came out even better than we envisioned. Richard was incredibly kind, patient, and easy to work with. I cant wait to get my wedding band from Richard as well. I would highly recommend!!
This week I got my second incredible diamond ring from Richard of Wasserman Jewelers. My first was 11 years ago, when I met Richard while looking for a diamond wedding band. For a big birthday a few years ago I also got a diamond necklace from Richard. He works hard to make sure his customers are happy, provided me with two really incredible rings, and is a person who you can trust with your business and your valuables. I would not bring my jewelry to anyone else for repair, and I would not shop from anyone but Richard Wasserman if you are looking for high quality diamond jewelry. Im very thankful that I found him 11 years ago! I highly recommend him.
I didnt meet Richard until after I got my engagement ring which was a beautiful surprise. I loved it and it fit perfectly. When we chose the wedding rings, he was very accommodating, offered good advice and listened so carefully to every little detail.We enjoyed working with him so much that when my son asked us for a jeweler recommendation for his own engagement ring shopping, we unequivocally recommended Richard to him. He is now our familys official jeweler :)
We had the best experience with Wasserman Jewel Galleries. Richard provided samples matching exactly what I was looking for. He continued to work with me until my vision was achieved and made sure the final product was just right. First class service all the way! We wish we found him sooner and will definitely be back again!
After not having any luck finding the perfect ring, I was referred to Richard by my colleague. From our first conversation, Richard listened to my ideas and took the time to educate me on how to select the very best stone in my price range. Within a week he hand selected a number of “triple excellent” cut diamonds and invited me to view them in his showroom. Each diamond was accompanied by a GIA certificate that described the diamond in detail. After discussing my options, Richard gave me a quote that was very reasonable. A few days later, we discussed the setting over the phone. I sent him a few designs that I liked and he responded with a rendering of a beautifully designed custom ring that incorporated all of the elements I wanted. When I went to pick it up about a week later, I was totally blown away. The finished product is an absolutely stunning one of a kind engagement ring that brought my fiancé to tears. There is truly no better jeweler in the diamond district. Thank you so much, Richard!
My proposal went as smoothly as it could, all thanks to Richard.He created a custom engagement ring for me, combining two different looks, and even raised the diamond, within the basket, so the magnificence of its shine could be shone off and not covered by the basket.He worked well with my deadlines, and provided convenient shipping options for me, as I wasn’t super close.Beautiful masterpiece! Will definitely be using him again for our wedding rings!
I was referred to Richard by a family friend. Prior to our first meeting, Richard had reached out to discuss what I was looking for in an engagement ring. At our first in-person meeting, he handpicked several diamonds and had their corresponding GIA report ready to show me. Before getting into details about each diamond, Richard throughly explained the 4Cs (Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat).Richards expertise allowed me to select the perfect diamond. From there, we discussed - at length - my vision for the ring. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed by showing me updated renderings before beginning work on the ring. He truly made the process a breeze and put my mind at ease.I highly recommend Richard to anyone looking to purchase a diamond, whether standalone or having it set into a ring, etc. He is very knowledgeable and has your best interest at heart.I will be going to see Richard again shortly.
Richard and Chris have helped my hubby pick out beautiful jewelry and it started with my engagement ring! Richard was really upfront and honest about the different quality of rings. Very patient when I wanted to try on a bunch of wedding bands before making a decision. Super responsive and helpful. Easy to schedule an appointment to see him and some beautiful jewels!
I purchased an engagement ring from Richard and the experience was absolutely painless, even for a first time diamond buyer. I sent over some parameters a week before our meeting, and Richard curated numerous comp diamonds and their respective GIA reports— each satisfactory for my calculus. Pricing/payment options/shipping were all great, and I’m happy I went with Richard over any other vendor.Will be returning for future purchases.
Richard Wasserman did an amazing job working with me under a tight time constraint and during the COVID environment. We coordinated remotely via text, call and FaceTime to find the right diamond within my budget. He worked with in-house design to produce a high-quality gold ring, and even did overnight shipping to ensure I would receive it in time.Throughout the entire process, Richard was respectful, insightful, available (!) and helpful. I felt like he was a consultant to me more than a counterparty / salesman. Importantly, I received the same degree of attention and courteousness before Richard knew I had a higher budget to deploy. Hes truly a class individual with high integrity.Overall the experience was seamless, and I cant thank the team at Richard Wasserman Jewelers enough. My now-wife loves the ring, and we will certainly be back for additional jewelry needs as they arise.
Working with Richard was an absolute joy. He created two stunning engagement rings for me and my fiancée. He is flexible, extremely knowledgeable, and had a very discerning eye. He not only sources the highest quality options but never pressures you to make a purchase you’re not 100% in love with.
Richard and his team are incredibly professional, responsive to your needs, helpful, warm and an overall pleasure to work with. My fiancée is thrilled with her beautiful engagement ring, which Richard helped me select based on the preferences she expressed. I could not recommend Richard and his team more highly!
Richard is amazing. We have worked with other jewelers before and the big difference is that Richard listens to his clients preferences and uses his expertise to help steer them in the right direction. His attention to detail is second to none and he has done custom special pieces for us for daywear to evening. The stones are always of the highest quality and we couldn’t be happier with the finished products. We highly recommend working him.
Richard helped make the entire experience of purchasing my now fiancès handmade engagement ring an absolute joy. From the initial meeting to the final result, everything was spot on. We needed the ring resized (our fault, not theirs!) and Richard had it back in our hands within 24 hours and he took care of the cost! Couldnt speak more highly of the professionalism and the product that youll receive from the Wasserman Jewel Galleries team. Will certainly be back in the future! Thank you!!!
5 stars! Thank you to the Wasserman Jewel Galleries team! Buying an engagement ring can be a very scary process for a man. Richard took the time to talk with me on the phone, respond to emails, and meet with me in person. I was involved with every single step of the process.I came to Richard to look at diamonds only, but ended up buying the engagement ring from him. The team was able to make the exact setting my fiancé wanted after showing them pictures and videos only.Richard was patient with me and answered any questions or concerns I had. He really stayed within my budget and most of all treated me like a friend, not a customer.I visited several other jewelers along my journey and no ones diamonds or customer service comes close to Wasserman Jewel Galleries.Thank you for everything!
Richard Wasserman is the absolute BEST! After having a horrible experience at Jewelers Row looking for engagement rings, I found Richard, and life became so much better. Richard is warm, personable, and his jewelry is absolutely beautiful. He worked with my fiancé to design my dream ring, and it came out to perfection. My fiancé could even see a 3D CAD of the ring before finalizing it, which was great. Richard was there every step of the way, and he made us both feel so comfortable. We have sent several friends to Richard and his colleague Chris, who is super organized and responsive. Besides wedding rings, Richard has a stunning collection of all kinds of jewelry, many of which we have purchased for gifts. Richard has a beautiful and completely private show room, so we always receive 1-on-1 attention without feeling rushed out. I am so happy Richard has come into our lives, and I cant wait to recommend him to all of our friends and family!
My late father’s ring for which I could not find another jeweler willing to repair and embellish became the project to introduce me to Richard Wasserman. Richard accepted my custom project warmly and with perfect professionalism. I’ve been so thrilled about having my dad’s ring on my hand after Richard and his team completed the repair and embellishments, I’d failed to acknowledge what a beautiful job they’d done. It’s been about three weeks - and today when I looked down at the signet ring on my right hand it sang a gorgeous tune. Thank you Richard!
Getting in contact with Richard was a blessing. For his knowledge and understanding, his professionalism and full dedication to met all kind of demanding requirements, but most importantly for the human qualities I witnessed, warm and straight, patient and accurate, maintaining higher ethics thru all the process. He went above and beyond to present me the very best with its detailed pros and cons.I talked with countless people, many jewelers, and also did a long research. No one that stands out so much like Richard, a true blessing.Richard, you are authentic. Really good. My jeweler, for many years to come. Thank you.
Richard and Chris were incredibly helpful with guiding me towards the best ring I was looking for. Richard showed me different options and recommended pros/cons of each that were all very informative. Once we chose the ring, Richard and Chris were very detailed in their craftsmanship and kept me updated throughout. I recommend them to anyone looking for an engagement ring or wedding bands!
Richard is an incredible jeweler and has created unique, high-quality, and gorgeous pieces for myself, my father, and my fiancée. He provides excellent sourcing options, creative design choices, and a lovely experience from start to finish. The execution of all pieces he has created for me has been immaculate - he has a craftsmans eye for detail!He has expert-level knowledge when it comes to precious stones and can effectively translate technical/scientific jargon into digestible information I could confidently make a decision around. He has created pieces that will be in my family for generations to come and I could not recommend him more highly!
Richard was an excellent guide when picking an engagement ring for my fiancée. He helped walk me through the various aspects of diamonds and jewelry and took a customer service first approach to a very stressful and very important decision. I would readily recommend Richard to anyone I know.
Richard Wasserman is such a pleasure to work with. I recently went to him to change my engagement ring setting . It came out absolutely gorgeous! I had also purchased my wedding band from him many years ago and receive so many compliments on it .Always a great experience !
They were super helpful in working with us and providing advice for an engagement ring. From visiting quite a few different shops, the price and quality seem hard to beat. On top of that, they created a custom design for us that was exactly what we were hoping to have!
Richard Wasserman was exceptional! He was patient, understanding and knowledgeable. I envisioned the perfect ring for my fiancé and he created pure beauty that was well beyond our expectations! We will be coming back for all jewelry purchases in the future, thank you Richard!
Thank you for a fabulous experience designing and purchasing my wedding band and earrings. Richard was professional, patient and listened. I am beyond pleased with the outcome and look forward to purchasing other items from him. Highly recommend - you wont be disappointed.
Thanks again Richard for exceeding my expectations. 10 years ago my wife was very excited with the jewelry I presented her. We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary last week the completed diamond ring set and diamond studs was a blast. Thank you for making the most important person in my life happy. Fantastic job and hope to see you soon.
Richard is a gem - honest, kind, and wonderful to work with . He helped my husband upgrade my original ring , and it is a beauty . He is so professional throughout the entire process . I can see why he has so many loyal customers. We left nyc 5 years ago and still only want to go to him!
I wish there were more stars, frankly. Richard Wasserman is one of the most professional businessmen Ive ever had the pleasure of working with. At no point did I feel anything but 100% trust with him in an industry which is tough to navigate and the end product was beyond stunning. Dont bother shopping around - he will make it work for you, and you will be astonished with what you walk out with. Thanks Richard!
I always rely on Wasserman Jewel Galleries when I’m in the market to select a sparkling, top-quality treasure. I know that with Wasserman Jewel Galleries I will receive personalized, dedicated and ultra-professional service from an expert with a trained eye for detail and style. I just purchased a beautiful, special piece of jewelry and I LOVE it. I am a highly satisfied repeat customer. Thank you Wasserman Jewel Galleries for your impeccable selection, skill and service.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Richard Wasserman and his team. He has been very attentive to my wishes in turning a formal necklace into three individual ones, a more casual and wearable look. I can now wear them as layering pieces and have been getting a lot of compliments.The work has been exquisite and the price very reasonable.I would work with him again in a heartbeat.
My son brought Wasserman an old diamond cut stone that was left from an estate of an Aunt. They recommended re cutting the stone to enhance the brilliance of it and felt it would look much better rather then selling my son a new one. They recommended that it couldnt hurt to try and re cut the stone and then see how it turned out. They could always buy it from him and sell him another stone. We felt they were incredibly honest with the situation rather then doing what many people might have done. We felt they didnt take advantage of us and just say the stone is not worth much the way it is but we would be happy to give you a small amount for it. We could put that amount towards a new one. We feel that most jewelers would have done that. Wasserman did not do that and they were completely above board with the entire situation. The diamond came out looking amazing and my son was able to give his lovely bride to be the stone and it came out looking amazing! We would highly recommend them for what you need.
I bought my wife’s engagement ring, wedding ring, diamond earrings and multiple other pieces from Wasserman. AllOf the pieces are classical and beautiful and the prices were exceptionally competitive. We were so pleased with the products and service that we have referred some of our closest friends and family there.
Richard is the most honest person I know. I have purchased many, many pieces of jewelry from him, each piece better than the last. He is patient, doesnt rush you and is definitely not a hard sell. I would not go anywhere else. Go and see him and his beautiful creations. You will not be sorry
I just wanted to say thank you for everything you and your team did for getting my girlfriend’s (now fiance’s) ring together. It looks amazing and she was absolutely blown away by it. All the work you and your team put in for the entire process - from gathering and viewing the different desired diamond and ring settings, to creating the rendered images of the design that we talked through - was abolsutely world class. It all lead to a day she and I will never forget. Thank you so much!!

2021-12-28Richard Wasserman did a terrific job helping me create the perfect engagement ring for my Fiancé. He showed me a large variety of different settings to choose from and had diamonds ready to show me based on my desired specifications. He also was able to create the ring I wanted in a very short amount of time. In the end the ring was beautiful and my Fiancé absolutely loved it. I greatly appreciate all of Richards help throughout this process.

2022-08-10If you are looking for a truly top notch diamond purchasing or re-setting experience look no further. Richard Wasserman takes the time to listen and learn about what you are looking for in diamond jewelry. He has elegant taste, deep knowledge of jewelry styles and an impressive inventory of diamond jewelry. Richard re-set a few pieces of jewelry for us including my heirloom diamond engagement ring and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. It’s a delight to work with him. My husband and I both highly recommend Richard Wasserman for all your diamond jewelry needs and wants!

2022-02-09Over the last few years Richard has made 3 custom pieces for me, a necklace, a ring, and a pair of earrings that I just picked up this week. I brought pictures of what I was looking for with some changes that I wanted to make and each time Richard worked with me to create exactly what I was looking for. We received CAD drawings, and had several conversations to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. The results each time were nothing short of amazing. I have sent numerous friends to Richard and we have all enjoyed the same experience, beautiful pieces at great prices. It is truly rare to find someone who cares as much as I do about what I want made and takes as much pride in his work as Richard.

2022-07-31We approached Richard about quite a nonstandard project: to replicate an existing piece of Jewelry, with quite involved changes (replacing the portrayal of one animal with that of another, based on photos that we provided). Richard was a joy to work with: super professional, creative, and timely. He sent us computer simulations for comments and approval throughout the entire process. The result was even better than we hoped, and the price was fair. Highly recommended (and already recommended to a friend, in fact)—will use again for any jewelry needs.

2022-07-11Update July 2022:Got my wedding band from here and it is perfect!!! Go to Richard, you won’t be disappointed !Original review: I would give the team at Wasserman Jewelers 10 stars if I could!!! I was referred here by 2 friends, so they came highly recommended.My fiancé proposed with his great grandmother’s heirloom ring, which had a beautiful center stone, but was in serious need of a modern resetting. I had seen the gorgeous custom work that Richard had done on my friend’s wife’s ring— also a heirloom ring that had been reset— so I felt comfortable going to him (I am very picky, which is why my fiancé didn’t have the ring reset before giving it to me).Richard is so sweet! I had no idea what I wanted, only that I wanted something simple and classic. Richard showed me several styles and it only took him about 10 minutes to find something that I absolutely fell in love with and was perfect for me!! I had assumed I only wanted something very basic like a solitaire, but I now have an even more gorgeous setting with 2 small delicate pear shaped diamonds on the sides and the super thin delicate platinum band I wanted. Richard’s team does a in depth modeling sketch before finalizing your design so you approve every last detail to make sure it’s perfect before you get your ring! They really go the extra mile to make sure you are happy.We were so happy with our experience there that we came back on my birthday for a pair of earrings! And we will definitely be getting our wedding bands with Richard as well! They have amazing customer service and their prices are very fair. Overall, I have the highest praise and recommendation for Richard and the whole team at Wasserman Jeweler’s.

2022-07-09I was introduced to Richard through a friend and from the first call he was extremely helpful. He not only accommodated my travel schedule & tight deadlines from Florida to NYC but he helped me put together my dream engagement ring. Had I met someone trustful like Richard who was able to guide me on something I knew nothing about I probably would have proposed sooner! 😅

2022-06-15Richard and his team are a joy to work with. Not only did Richard collaborate with us to design a unique item, he even managed to find a better grade of jewels that made this piece pop. He even worked with us to use some existing jewelry to create a stunning set of earrings. Were so happy to have a trusted jeweler to work with!

2021-10-23Had a great experience with Richard! My friend recommended him and I couldn’t be happier. My diamond wedding band broke so I went to Richard and not only did I get an upgrade but also was able to reset my engagement ring and add diamonds for a great price. Was super convenient to see Richard at his home and everything was done in less than 2 weeks. And the new rings are stunning! Will be back for all jewelry needs - highly recommend.

2021-11-18I have been working with Richard for more than 12 years. In fact, I started working with Richard when working in Manhattan and I still work with him from North Carolina; I wont let him get away. From his recommendations as to what he has in his collection to his creation with me of custom jewelry -- and from rings, to earrings, to necklaces -- his pieces are beautiful, flawless, and always a knock down hit with my wife. This is to say nothing of his service and his demeanor, which is warm, welcoming, professional, and enthusiastic. Plainly: Richard is the best at what he does.
