Yes. While many other jewelers will not work with your diamond, our focus on customized settings means we can create settings for any size and shape center stone. However, we do encourage you to consult with us before you make your center stone purchase, as we carry a large inventory of certified diamonds in all shapes, sizes, and qualities at competitive prices.

FOREVER DIAMONDS NY RING DESIGNS AND DIAMONDS

While we have same-day service for non-customized in stock items, on average it can take two to six weeks to produce a customized ring, and production times vary for our custom uniques. Once you have decided on your style, your personal sales associate will provide you with an accurate timeline. If you are in need of a rush order, we will work to accommodate your request.

Our designs are handcrafted to provide a high level of precision that cannot be achieved by a casted ring. Our Uniques are custom made to seamlessly fit the center diamond and is unique to that diamond’s outlines and specific dimensions.

No. To ensure consistent durability, we do not reuse the metal from previous settings. We are happy to work with you to design a new, custom setting and help you select a color gemstone, Lab Grown Diamond, Moissanite or CZ to be set into your old ring as a keepsake.

Each diamond we use in our settings is specially chosen to ensure a uniform look throughout the overall design. For this reason, we cannot reset or reuse your pave diamonds.

Platinum and white gold are both precious metals. Platinum is naturally white and will always maintain its color, while white gold is a mix of different alloys and will eventually show a slight yellow tint over time, although it can always be re-plated. Platinum is a denser metal which gives it a weightier feel and contributes to it being more expensive than gold. Aesthetically, platinum will have a duller appearance, while white gold will appear brighter. We usually recommend platinum for our finer designs because it is easier to work with, but white gold is a perfect choice, as well. If you tend to be more active with your rings, white gold would be a better selection for you.

Yes, our custom designs can be made with any metal combination you’d like.

Our pave diamonds are generally F-G color/VS clarity, but depending on the center stone, they may be adjusted. Keep in mind that pave diamonds always give off a brighter appearance than center stones.

Yes, we are happy to add engraving to the inside of the band to make your piece extra special.

We recommend bands be at least 1.5mm.

Our diamond inventory changes daily, and we prefer to work with our clients to provide hand-picked selections based on their exact vision and specifications. Using our network, we are able to gather the best quality in center diamonds at the most competitive prices.

Yes. Every engagement ring is accompanied by a certificate from a third-party grading institute.

Diamond verifications are provided by independent appraisers. You may take your ring and GIA report to one for diamond verification. Additionally, one of our sales associates can read or show you your diamond’s laser inscription under a microscope to ensure it matches with the report.

Yes, all of our diamonds are conflict-free. We work with suppliers who follow the Kimberley Process and make every effort to support the diamond trade.

Yes, any one of our designs can accommodate a moissanite center stone. However the smaller diamonds on the ring will be genuine diamonds.

RING CARE AND SIZING

No, but we do provide you with an appraisal that you can present to an insurance company. We recommend LAVALIER INSURANCE SERVICES as the most reputable, easy to work with company to insure your rings.

Our manufacturing guarantee is to stand behind the integrity of every piece and make sure you are completely satisfied with the entire shopping experience. However, we do advise obtaining personal insurance to protect your ring from any damage, loss, theft, or breakage.

MANUFACTURING WARRANTY

Forever Diamonds NY is committed to providing our clients with complete satisfaction and the highest quality craftsmanship. Each work order comes with an individual lifetime warranty that covers any manufacturing defects resulting in the loss or breakage of small pave diamonds and precious metal. This does not cover accidental or incidental breakage, normal wear and tear, theft, loss, or any damage that our professionals deem is not due to craftsmanship related issues. Wedding bands and Eternity style engagement rings are not covered under this warranty. Please note that if the piece has been altered in any way by a jeweler other than Forever Diamonds NY, the warranty is no longer valid. We recommend having each piece regularly maintained and examined twice a year by our service professionals. At Forever Diamonds NY we provide complimentary inspection and basic cleaning for rings purchased through our store or website. For the first year of your ring’s life, we will provide all insured shipping at no cost to you both ways. After the 1-year mark, we will still provide the warranty, however, it will be your responsibility to ship and insure the ring.

Unfortunately, due to international customs regulations, we are not able to provide an international warranty. To have your ring serviced by us, you would need to fly into New York and have it completed in person. We will do our best to work with you to ensure you receive the utmost care for your ring.

OUR WEBSITE

On our website we have two types of rings you can look at. “Our Uniques” and “Our Settings”.

Most of our rings are custom made and we work personally with each client to design it to individual taste and budget. These are called “Our Uniques”. With so many various components prices would depend on many factors including style, metal and center-stone shape, finger size and quality.

We also offer pre-made settings which are usually in stock and ready to ship the same day as purchase. These rings are called “Our Settings”. Please be aware that the prices you see for “Our Settings” DO NOT include the center stone. Your center stone must be chosen with the help of one of our sales associates so you can get the best stone that matches your criteria. Also size of center stone will determine the cost of the setting so be sure to select the correct size when on the setting product page.

The majority of our Instagram designs are based on or are exact versions of ring models shown on the website. Please read the comments of the post carefully to find the specific style which you can easily search for on the website. Click on “Create a Handmade Piece” from our homepage and enter any specifics you’re interested in and a sales associate will contact you with information and pricing.

Some items listed online are available for viewing in our New York showroom, but because many of our rings are custom made, we may not have that exact one in store. However, we will certainly have several similar styles for you to try on to get a sense of what you may want to have created for yourself.
