I have to recommend Jay and Adriane as I needed an engagement ring with the diamond from the grandmothers engagement ring. I was curious as to why I needed an appointment but when...

- 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 t...

I thought I wanted Tiffany--but this was WAY better! 7/13/2008

When my boyfriend and I started looking into engagement rings, I had my heart set on a Tiffany Novo. When we went to look at them in person, though, I was pretty disappointed in how tiny the center stones were--they had looked huge online! Even the tiniest diamond in the style I wanted was a little out of our price range there. We looked at other stores, but I didn't see anything I really wanted. I read Jay's reviews online and scoured his website, sending hints to my boyfriend. On July 3rd I was surprised with the ring of my dreams--it was EXACTLY what I had described to my boyfriend, right down to the center prongs. I was amazed at how huge, clear, and sparkling the diamonds were. He had set up an appointment on his own with Jay, who walked him through each choice after asking about me, him, and his budget. He was told it would take about 3 weeks, but it only took around 1 and a half. Jay told my now fiancee to bring me back after the proposal so we could meet and I could learn how to take care of my ring. I did, and he and his wife were so sweet! I had overestimated my ring size, and Jay was kind enough to take care of it over the weekend and meet me close to my home so I could have it back ASAP! I could not be more pleased with my ring, and Jay will definitely be doing our wedding bands. If you are looking for a specific piece of jewelry, you should definitely at least set up an appointment with Jay. more

Unique jewely, excellent service 6/30/2008

My fiance and I visited many jewely stores before someone recommended J. Yontef. We were thrilled to work with Jay and Adriane as we were looking for a unique engagement ring and wedding bands to suit our budget and our taste. Jay and Adriane are very knowledgable and professional and the experience we shared in working with them has made our engagement fun! We have since received so many compliments on our rings and look forward to working with J. Yontef for years to come! more

The Cadillac of Custom Jewelry 6/11/2008

I was preparing to propose to my girlfriend and luckily received an engagement ring from my mother that had belonged to my great-great aunt. The stones in it were very unusual and beautiful but the setting was small and somewhat damaged. more

Your first and only stop! 4/27/2008

My fiance and I just got her engagement ring from J Yontef and we couldn't be happier. He will work with your budget, whatever it may be, and makes the entire process of picking out (or creating) the perfect ring enjoyable and painless :). J provided us with an educational experience, and we came away feeling like we got the absolute best ring for our money! I highly recommend J's services. There was no pressure or weird pushy sales people to deal with. In my opinion, this is the only way to go. I made the mistake of going into a few jewelry stores before contacting J. Don't waste your time anywhere else. Make a one-on-one appointment with J first! more

Best Jeweler Around 4/5/2008

When we found Jay on Citysearch, it was evident that he was a highly sought-after gemologist and jeweler. I browsed through his website and was amazed by his portfolio. Knowing of his high-profile clientele, I was not expecting to be able to afford his craftsmanship. However, after setting up a private appointment to discuss my needs, Jay and his wife left me feeling completely confident that they were best-suited for the job. I stayed within the exact grid of my budget (without being pressured at all) and received a product that I'm still amazed with today. He is for sure the best jeweler in town! more

It fit like a glove!!! 3/31/2008

My fiance and I were out searching for a wedding band to match the ring he had given me. I began to google one day and that's how I found Jay. He was great to work with and once I described what I was thinking he immediately knew what I wanted. I had know idea what custom rings cost, but his price was very reasonable. I know our biggest concern was trusting someone with my engagement ring and Jay totally made us feel confident in himself and his work. I am getting married in 3 weeks and cannot wait to wear my BEAUTIFUL band that he made. I know from now on that myself and my family will use Jay for many years to come. Pros: You get exactly what you want! more

Beautiful, large daimond ring at an affordable price! 3/25/2008

I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I thought I would be browsing the clear glass display cases of a retail jewelry store with a snobby clerk sneering at my working-class blue jeans. Instead, the man at the other end of the phone was the most friendly, down to earth guy when I met him. Sure, I had to call and make an appointment, but that elminated the blundersome task of perusing an inventory of sub-standard diamonds that would have been inevitable at a standard retail outlet. more

Best Jeweler hands down 3/6/2008

I live in Memphis and my girlfriend lives in Nashville, so when we first started 'thinking' about looking for engagement rings we had a look at a LOT of different jewelers in both cities. Jay Yontef, and his wife Adriane are by far the friendliest, most helpful, and most accommodating jeweler we spoke to. It was great to speak to someone who has experience and knowledge in both jewelery design and in gem stones rather than just a 'store clerk' who has a few rings he/she would like to recommend; which is what we experienced at Tiffany's. Pros: Personal service, ease of doing business. more

Best Jeweler 2/19/2008

I never cared much for jewelry, but I wanted something special for our anniversary. The problem was that everything looked like the same old thing, everywhere we went. It never occurred to me to have a custom made ring -- until City Search brought us to J and Adriane. What a find! I knew I wanted something Celtic, my husband had suggested chocolate diamonds...and that was all we had when we walked in. J added a little of this, Adrian added a little of that - and before we knew it, I had a design for a unique ring that I adore! more

Great Custom Jeweler in Nashville 2/7/2008

My husband and I had a great experience working with Jay and his wife Adriane. Their dog Tiki is adorable and so friendly too!!!. It was my mom's 50th birthday and I wanted to have give her a pair of custom made pearl and diamond earrings set in white gold with a ""russian loop back clasp"". Jay knew exactly what I wanted and they turned out beautiful. My mom was thrilled and the price was afordable as well. Then, we had our first born baby boy and my husband had Jay make me a pair of diamond studs. They turned out gorgeous and they pulled it off as a surprise which was the best part. We highly recommend Jay Yontef and will continue to work with him in the future. more

Super helpful! 1/28/2008

My fiance and I went to Jay after we got engaged. My mom had given him her old engagement ring from my dad, but we wanted to enhance it. Jay made the entire process painless and fun. I wanted rubies added to the ring, and he let me choose which set of rubies I wanted. I highly recommend!! Pros: helpful, great quality, good prices more

World Class Jeweler in Green Hills 1/8/2008

After searching for an engagement ring for months, I could not find a ring that represented the relationship I had with my girlfriend. I decided to have a ring custom made and found Jay's name on Citysearch. After speaking to him for only a few minutes, he knew exactly what I was looking for and he went to work. I had so much confidence in him that I did not even need to see the molds. The ring turned out exactly how I had it in my mind. Jay knows his trade and knows his work speaks for him. He does not 'sell' his rings because you will be happy to 'buy' them. more

Absolutely Beautiful!!! 12/21/2007

After going to all the ?high-end? jewelers, I decided to buy my fiances engagement ring from Jay because he was a straight shooter and didn't try and shove what he had on the shelf at me. After working with Jay to select the center stone and examining it, we moved on to the setting. I had an idea of what the ring should look like and after working through the details he delivered the most spectacular ring I have ever seen. I would HIGHLY recommend Jay to anyone!!! Pros: Unique, Personal Service more

Beautiful engagement ring 12/5/2007

My fiance proposed with no ring because he wanted me to pick out what I wanted. I browsed at some very high end jewelry stores, but no one had THE ring. 3 different friends then recommended that I go see Jay, and he really was wonderful. He met and exceeded all of my expectations for my rings. I brought in a picture of the ring I wanted, and what I got was even more beautiful. Jay was easy to work with, didn't try to upsell us at all (white gold is just fine, no need to get platinum, etc.). I highly recommend him- super trustworthy and professional. more

Even better results than I expected! 11/26/2007

I walked into Jay?s office knowing very little about diamonds. When I left his office I felt like I knew more than a lot of the big chain salespersons! I felt confident that I was being guided in the right direction with Jay, but it wasn?t until I saw the finished product that I was completely blown away. I don?t really give a hoot about looking at jewelry, but the ring I bought is so amazing that I know I will always love looking at it. The experience totally blew my expectations away, and Jay?s expertise lived up to what others had already said. I never felt pressure or uneasy at any point. Jay is fantastic; don?t ask me why he is so great at what he does, just go see him! It will become clear very quickly that you won?t have to look anywhere else. more

Fantastic Service, High Quality Jewelry, the only place to go in Nashville 9/25/2007

After visitng some of the jewelry warehouses in the burbs and basically getting nothing but blank stares from ""customer service representatives"", I found my way to J. Yontef. The entire experience was a pleasure, and the ring is fabulous. The price was right, and J. gave me the options I needed to make the right choices about stones, settings, etc. Do yourself a favor and talk with him before you get something you only sort-of want from the limited catalog options you'll find elsewhere. Pros: Service, Flexibility, Quality, Value more

Exceptional Service! Amazingly Gorgeous Diamond Ring! Pleasing Price! Immaculate Experience! 9/25/2007

After being married for over 16 wonderful years my husband, Eric, finally decided he was ready to ""take the plunge"" and buy me a bigger diamond (the first ring was very sweet~but a tiny diamond). He told me this is what he wanted to do for my birthday and I was elated!!! We started looking around on-line for jewelers. Every time I logged onto Citysearch I kept seeing 'J.Yontef voted number 1...' and the part about '118 fantastic reviews!' Pros: Individual attention and price. Cons: Can't think of any. more
