I never leave reviews, but I have to share my amazing experience as a customer of St. James Jewelry Shoppe. Two years ago, my husband and I worked with Lenny on a custom wedding band design to match my antique engagement ring. Not only did Lenny do an amazing job, but he created the ring quickly and for an extremely reasonable price. Because we were so pleased with my wedding band, we wound up working with Lenny again on a custom necklace the following Christmas. After a brief meeting, Lenny wound up creating the necklace--and, truth be told, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind. This was my fault, as the necklace itself was beautiful, but I had something specific in mind and hadn't adequately communicated my vision to Lenny. I was worried that I would have to accept the necklace, as it was custom made for me, but Lenny saw my disappointment and immediately took it back, and said not to worry, that he would just make me a new one.

Lenny will take a personal interest in you wishes. If you want a jeweler that understands the true value (not just the dollar value) of your treasured piece, then Lenny is...
Read moreLenny is an amazing jeweler. After visiting many jewelry shops on Long Island we picked Lenny because he didn't try to upsell us and was honest. At the time we were looking at wedding band options for both myself and my husband. We were looking at both gold two tone for my husband and platinum versus white gold for me. Unlike all the other shops, he didn't immediately say "it's extra "x" for platinum". Gold was at an all time high and he explain that actually it might be about the same.
Long story short, he designed both mine and my husband's wedding band perfectly. Amazing craftsmanship and great customer service. Definitely would...
