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...

Worst

- 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...

Best Jeweler 12/4/2006

Jay made my 20th anniversary wedding band. I gave him a picture similar to what I wanted and he took it from there. It is truly stunning! It is wonderful knowing that it was made especially for me. Jay went above and beyond to see that my ring was exactly what I had invisioned, but truly it was even more beautiful! Pros: Excellent customer service and an expert in the field! Cons: None! more

Went back for more 11/18/2006

J did our engagement ring...and we went back to get the wedding rings...the custom built wedding ring was a perfect match to her engagement ring...Call j and get REAL customer service..and a great deal!! Pros: everything Cons: nothing more

Great Customer Service 11/12/2006

I was really looking for something special for my wife who's about to give birth to our first child. She has wanted an upgrade to her Diamond Engagement ring for a long time and this seemed like a perfect opportunity. Mr. Yontef, really made the experience special, custom matching her existing Diamond with two others of almost exactly the same size, cut, color, and clarity to create a three stone ring which is really a work of art, which she simply loves. During the design process, Mr. Yontef listened to exactly what my wife wanted and was very flexible to our hectic work schedule, coming in on Saturdays to meet with us at a time which was convenient. He even took the time to teach my wife a little about the stones and about diamonds in general. I live in Clarksville, but working with J. was well worth the drive and I will be coming back to him in the future and recommending my friends do the same. Pros: Individualized/knowledgeable service more

Perfect! 10/31/2006

I had an engagement ring in my head for months, but couldn't find the exact one I knew I wanted. I found J's website and from looking at a few samples there, I immediately knew he would be able to make my antique-inspired ring. I did some serious homework- I went to all the stores, looked at all the online shops, scoured diamond message boards, and I thought for my price I would be getting a fairly small ring. I came in with a lot of different ideas, and within minutes he knew exactly what I was talking about. He found the perfect stone for me within a week (which was TWICE the size I thought I could afford), and even though I was on vacation a few weeks later when the ring came in, he overnighted it to me in Florida so I could propose on the beach. What personalized service! Needless to say as someone who was about to propose, I was incredibly nervous about the whole thing from the get-go. But J made it so easy and the whole thing was done before I knew it. The ring is amazing! And she said yes! If you have lots of ideas, or even no ideas, J will get you what you want. On a side note, we just saw a very similar ring today, and the price was WAY higher than what we paid. Such friendliness, attention, personal service, high high quality, and great prices made getting this ring a lot of fun. I can't wait to have J do our wedding bands so I can write another great review, and so we can have some more great jewelry. Thanks, J! Pros: Everything! Cons: Nothing! more

Fantastic Service 10/17/2006

J. Yontef is by far the easiest, enjoyable, and most knowledgeable jeweler I have ever met. I had shopped at several locations to get ideas and had received instructions on the 4 C's but no one could match Jay's knowledge and expertise in the field. He does not pressure you into any decision, but rather guides you toward making the right choices in designing a ring. He is very patient and takes time to make sure you understand everything that he is teaching you. He guided me through the process with ease and within budget as well. The ring is absolutely beautiful! My fiance could not be happier and that is very important of course. So if I could give any advice about diamonds at all, my advice to you would to be go see J. Yontef because he is outstanding at what he does and provides quality advice and knowledge that you will receive nowhere else. Thanks Jay! Pros: Friendly, Quality Service, Educational Value more

Great Service 10/12/2006

Jay is amazing! I knew absolutely nothing about engagement rings when I entered his office. He was patient and really took the time to teach me the basics. Given that I was trying to design the engagement ring for my fiance, he was good in not forcing any ideas on me. That being said, his expertise was extremely helpful in making sure that my desired design was reached. The ring came out perfect! It is beautiful! He worked within my price range the whole time. My fiance gets complemented all the time for how beautiful the ring is. more

Outstanding experience! Beautiful ring! 9/23/2006

Jay was recommended by a friend in Nashville as a ""must"" when I was looking for engagement rings. Having never been jewelry shopping before, I was completely overwhelmed by the whole process. Jay not only made the whole process easy (over the phone, I might add), but made looking for and designing a ring fun. His coaching and advice was comforting after visiting other jewelers who I got the feeling were trying to sell the most expensive stuff they could. Jay was clearly more interesting in getting the best gems for my money and making us happy. Pros: An outstanding gemologist, an exceptional person. Cons: He is in Nashville; I live in Dallas. more

Great ring, great service! 9/14/2006

I visited Jay to find the perfect ring my wife for our 20th anniversary. He was able to point me in the right direction in a matter of minutes by going through his catalogues and then giving me his expert advise about diamonds. Through his connections in the diamond district in New York, he got the perfect ring with absolutely stunning diamonds (and at the right price) within just a couple of weeks. I can't wait to surprise my wife with her dream ring on our anniversary. Thanks, Jay! Pros: everything Cons: nothing more

Yontef Rocks 9/14/2006

Yontef rocks. He is really cool, high-end, and does great work for the money. We love him! more

Excellence all the way around. 8/30/2006

I went back and forth on choosing my wedding band. I changed my mind, had multiple questions, asked for different prices, and finally took the advice I needed from Jay to help make my decision. I picked up my ring today and VIOLA! It is absolutely perfect. I couldn't have imagined it any better. Jay knew I was putting my trust and faith in him to get the ring right and he acknowledged that. That means a lot. Now, as I gaze at this ring - I canNOT wait to get married so I can wear it!!!! Jay also did my engagement ring (which I had nothing to do with choosing), but can't stop staring at it. Together they are stunning and if I can leave you with one simple thing, it would be: IN JAY WE TRUST!! Pros: Friendly, no pressure, one-on-one service more

All the reviews on Jay are spot on!!! 8/26/2006

Looking for rings around nashville was starting to make my head spin!! I don't know why I wasted so much time going to other places instead of acting on the great reviews I had read about J on citysearch. My experience with him by far exceeded my expectations from our initial phone conversation till the day I saw the ring that we eventually designed with J's help! J showed so much professionalism and was such an amiable person, I couldn't help but feel at ease and trusting in his years of experience in his craft. The ring he designed for us was more beautiful than we had ever imagined it could be and we left his office feeling well taken care of! We are going back for the wedding bands without a doubt! I could go on and on about him but if you are in the market for an engagement ring or any ring all I can say is GO TO J!!! You will not regret it one bit!! Pros: professionalism, craftsmanship, price Cons: Didn't go to him sooner more

Jay is by far the BEST 7/16/2006

When I began the search for the perfect ring for my girlfriend I started by doing research on the internet. After about 3 months of research I decided it was time to start looking and visited several diamond stores. Most of the stores were larger and the employs really did not know details about diamonds. When I would ask for specific info they seemed confused. Then I went to see Jay and he blew me away. The first thing he did was sit down with me and do a little teaching session about all the specifics of diamonds. I was very impressed because he covered everything that the larger stores try to hide from you. He discussed the cut, color, and clarity. He has a microscope in his office so you can look at every detail of the diamond. He also custom makes the ring for you which is great because then there will not be any other rings exactly like the one you get. Pros: Very knowledgeable, Very nice, Does GREAT work more

Beautiful Rings 7/2/2006

Jay already designed the most beautiful rings and necklace for my family, so when it was time to have our wedding bands made - going to Jay was a no brainer. He and Adriane took my concept and made several suggestions to make the rings work for our purposes. The rings are stunning! I can't wait until we get married so I can actually start wearing my beautiful ring! Pros: Everything was great! Cons: N/A more

Great custom jewelry 6/21/2006

Did a great job designing a replacment wedding ring - platimum ring that captured the original design stood alone on it's own. Pros: Can design anything Cons: No inventory more

A CUT ABOVE 3/8/2006

My fiance and I went to Jay and he quickly educated us on what to look for in a diamond. When we told him that we had actually found a ring elsewhere he went over the certificate with us and told us what a good deal it would be. How many jewelers would be that honest when it takes business away. Jay is one in a million. We still have our wedding bands to buy and you can bet any future business is Jay's. Thank you so much for treating us the way you did. You were not our first gemologist but you are our last. I encourage anyone who is looking for one of a kind or just good old fashion professional service to visit Jay. You won't have to look any further. Pros: personable, honest, integrity Cons: not, a, one more

Best Jeweler by far 2/27/2006

After searching for a ring for over a month, I happened upon Jay on this website. All the reviews sounded great, and the service and value was far beyond what any of these reviews could state. The ring was gorgeous and she LOVES it! Jay can work with any budget, as I'm a poor college student, and he puts lots of care into every piece. He is definitely the best choice when buying jewelry. Pros: Great Value, Personal Service, Custom Made Jewelry more

Excellent!! 2/9/2006

After trying in vain for over a month to find what I was looking for I happened upon J. using citysearch. I figured 79 excellent reviews couldn't be wrong and they weren't. He is first class and by far the most knowledgable jewler in Nashville. I highly recommend him! Thanks J., she loved the ring! more

Jay is a gem of a jeweler! 1/24/2006

When we started talking engagement, I wanted one thing, a traditional Irish Claddagh ring. We hoped that the engagement ring could be a heart shaped stone and the wedding band could fit around it to create the rest of the Claddagh. This way I could have both an egagement ring and a wedding ring. Jay said ""no problem"" and helped us find the perfect sapphire. After receiving the engagement ring people keep grabbing my hand saying, ""That's so blue, what kind of stone is it?"" When I answered a sapphire, they are always suprised. What can I say--its not your average, murky, mall stone. Pros: Educates customer, Value, Service more

User review by whitneykemper 1/7/2006

Buying an engagement ring through Jay was much easier than I had envisioned and I was treated so much better than at jewelry stores. I really felt Jay had the experience to not only help me find a ring that I would like that was in my price range, but also to find me the highest quality stones for my money. There was no haggling and I definitely walked away satisfied. Pros: personal attention, no haggling, experience more

Very Honest and Straightforward 1/6/2006

Dealing with Jay is not like dealing with a salesman. He truly knows what he is talking about, and you don't feel any pressure to do anything. His personal service is unparralleled. His advice is excellent, due to his years of experience. my biggest concern was that I get the best diamond for what I was going to spend. In the end, my fiancee loves the engagement ring I chose even more that I had hoped. Even more, I know that it's the finest quality in the range we worked in. I can only say positive things about J. Yontef more
