on Citysearch Nov 18, 2009I have one word to describe J. Yontef Diamonds and that word is "SEQUEL." My husband and I have commissioned Jay several times over the past few years to create different pieces of jewelry for one another...Jay, you do... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 17, 2009- My fiancee's rings that we designed with Jay came back from "his people in New York" a 3/4 size too small. Also, it wasn't exactly what he said it would be but said that he took some creative license. -Jay sent us to... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 15, 2009The two most important things to know before starting this review: 1. She said yes. 2. She loved the ring. I started looking for engagement rings back in July. "Plenty of time," I thought, "before I plan to propose... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 03, 2009My experience with Mr. Yontef was fantastic. I wanted a gem stone engagement ring for my girlfreind, and had decided on Alexandrite. I met with Mr. Yontef and 1 day later he had a number of stones from various sizes and... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 24, 2009When all other jewelers said it could not be done, Jay worked with me and made my request happen in a timely manner. I needed a Canadian mined diamond and he was able to find the perfect one for both my likes and budget. He... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 06, 2009Having visited the majority of well repudiated stores in the area I came across the Yontef's while browsing Citysearch. Like all the glowing reviews before, he delivers the total package when shopping for jewelry.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 09, 2009I was referred to Jay by a good friend of mine who knew I was searching for an engagement ring. My friend had always told me that "When the time comes, come talk to me. I have got THE best diamond guy in the country." To this... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 09, 2009I found Jay right here on CitySearch and he had 155 five star ratings so I though he must be good. I had a call with him, told him what I wanted for my fiance and when I came in, he had several options waiting for me which were... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 26, 2009I cannot say enough good things about Jay and the service he provides! My fiance and I first met with Jay to discuss my engagement ring. Although we had been to several jewelry stores, we didn't know much about... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 18, 2009My fiance and I are repeat offenders at Jay's. My engagement ring was done by Jay and turned out beautifully. Trying to find a wedding band was a bit of a challenge for me since I was looking for something very special due... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 24, 2009We went to see Jay and Adriane after reading some of the great reviews on Citysearch. We weren't sure if it would be possible to design a wedding ring to perfectly match a c.1930s family engagement ring, but Jay made it... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 09, 2009OK, so I admit I was skeptical. This Jay Yontef guy has like 150 reviews and all but one are 5 STARS. Who gets that kind of universally positive feedback? However, being the analytical, painstaking kind of person I am... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 05, 2009I went to Jay to buy my wife's engagment ring a few years ago and just went to him again to buy a saphire and diamond ring. The day after I talked about wanting to get this ring for her, he had 4 saphires in form me to look at... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 06, 2009After a bad experience at another jewelry store, I started seeing Jay & Adrianne for my repairs. Another company replaced my diamond with a cubic z. Obviously, after that I was very leery to let anyone work on my... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 20, 2008I don't know what I could say that has not already been said...It was the reviews we read that brought us to Jay in the first place. We visited a couple local jewelers in the area looking for an engagement ring. Each place... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 17, 2008This was my first experience with a jeweler, making a large purchase. After checking out some big boxes like Jared with my fiancee, I decided to do a little more research. The big boxes gave me an uneasy feeling and I... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 10, 2008J Yontef's jewelry and service is as good as it gets. When shopping for an engagement ring, my finance and I wanted something that was 1-of-a-kind and we also wanted an unusual cut for the diamond. J was very... (more)
