This is the first time I can recollect writing a Google Review. Keith is worth it.
We discovered him on TikTok, and from our first email to him, all the way to my second purchase (earrings to complement the engagement ring), Keith displayed a level of expertise, advice, and, most of all, warmth, that was extremely critical given that this was the most substantial purchase I'd be making yet in my life.
Keith made every step painless and kept us informed and excited throughout.
And my new fiancé is thrilled with how the ring came out. I can't recommend Keith enough for any diamond-related needs.
If you're reading this review, stop searching. You've found your guy.
I couldn't have had a better experience finding the perfect engagement ring with Keith from NYC Wholesale Diamonds.
I was referred to Keith through a family friend, and loved that Keith took the time to educate me on all aspects of the process (stone characteristics, bands/settings, even insurance, ring care, and other tips/tricks).
Keith found the exact diamond that we were looking for, and he was genuine, helpful, and fair throughout the process.
Thank you Keith for helping us build the perfect ring!
If you are looking for a jeweler, stop your search and reach out to Keith!
From the beginning, he was transparent about price, quality, and recommendations for getting the perfect diamond. The experience was incredible, and the ring turned out perfect.
He is a true expert, but more importantly, he cares about you as a person. From this point forward, Keith will always be my jeweler, no matter where I live.
Keith is the best! Incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and honest. Great service, and can't wait to go back and get our wedding bands. 10 out of 10 experience
Our experience flying to NYC's Diamond District and purchasing an emerald engagement ring from Keith at NYC Wholesale Diamonds was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Keith made us feel welcome and at ease. He took the time to walk my fiancée and me through the basics of choosing the perfect emerald, explaining the different cuts, colors, and qualities in a way that was both informative and engaging.
Keith's patience and dedication were truly remarkable. He never rushed us, allowing us all the time we needed to make such an important decision. His extensive knowledge and genuine passion for his craft shone through, making us feel confident in our choice. The selection of emeralds and settings was impressive, and Keith's expertise helped us find the perfect ring that exceeded our expectations.
The craftsmanship of the ring is outstanding, and the emerald's vibrant hue is simply breathtaking. Keith’s personalized service and attention to detail made the entire process enjoyable and memorable. We left NYC Wholesale Diamonds with not just a beautiful engagement ring, but also a cherished memory. We highly recommend Keith and his team to anyone in search of exquisite jewelry and an unforgettable experience.
Keith made the process of finding the perfect engagement ring for my fiancée easy and stress free.
We went for a consultation with Keith while on a weekend trip to NYC and he presented us with several outstanding diamonds within my budget. Keith helped to explain all of the different items that go into valuing a diamond.
He did not pressure me to make a purchase and was incredibly helpful in walking me through the process. I would very highly recommend Keith to all of my friends and family.
Keith is amazing! He is so experienced with diamonds and really helped me pick out the perfect one for my now fiancee. Aside from selling great diamonds at great prices, he also helped me prep for the big moment and gave so many excellent tips. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for not only the best diamond at the best price, but the best service.
Keith Saxe at NYC Wholesale Diamonds made ring shopping for my engagement a remarkable journey. With patience and expertise, he answered all our questions about diamonds, making the process transparent and educational. His personable approach, devoid of any sales pressure, set him apart and is precisely why we chose him over other jewelers. Highly recommended for an unbeatable blend of quality, professionalism, and genuine customer care.
I visited NYC/NJ retailers and other diamond district dealers and none compared to what Keith offers. Not only was I most impressed by his diamonds, but I was not pressured to buy on the spot. He provides a full lesson on purchasing diamonds and what you need to know and takes the stress out of purchasing an engagement ring. Keith helped make it an enjoyable experience.
I knew I wanted a “D” color diamond and his selection was simply better than every other stone I saw. All of my needs were met. I worked with Keith on ring design and could not be more impressed.
I know I’m a returning customer for my future jewelry needs. Most importantly, she said yes!
Keith and the team went above and beyond. Responsive, professional, accommodating, and delivered a beautiful diamond and ring. He’s been used by the family for decades and delivered once again, never disappoints.
Keith was fantastic to deal with throughout the whole process. He very promptly followed up to my request and understood exactly what I was looking for. He showed me two diamonds that were both excellent quality and also under the budget we discussed. Working within a very short timeframe, Keith produced an amazing engagement ring that my fiancé and I are thrilled with! He went out of his way to make sure I was able to collect the ring last minute-for Thanksgiving. He completely takes the headaches out of the selection process and I’ll be delighted to visit him again for our wedding bands!
After an unsuccessful trip to our premier local jeweler in Annapolis, my fiancé and I took a trip to New York for our birthdays and we decided to take a trip to the diamond district. While doing research beforehand, I quite literally googled “wholesale diamonds in NYC” and Keith’s aptly titled business popped up. I couldn’t believe his reviews! When I looked into his website further I realized that I had seen his TikTok’s before and I felt like I already knew him! I made an appointment for our last day in the city and it couldn’t have gone more perfectly. My fiancé had been a little hesitant at our previous ring appts due to large price tags attached to less than impressive stones. Keith showed us 3 stone options, the final being absolutely perfect and even better—within our budget! I had told him my specifications for the stone and setting and he more than exceeded them! Look no further when shopping for an engagement ring, Keith is your man!
Keith made my fiancé's dreams come true! Throughout our entire process, Keith was kind, thoughtful, patient, and a true master of his craft. Not only was his inventory quality far superior to any others I looked into, but he also provided insight and valuable advice on the best ways to set the ring that showed the diamond off. His pricing is extremely fair and he will not rest until you're 100% happy. I have already given Keith's name to all of my friends for their own engagement rings and could not recommend him enough.
I could not have envisioned an easier or more successful experience. Keith walked me through everything I needed to know, and then some. He showed me rings/diamonds at multiple price points and never made me feel pressured to spend more than I felt comfortable. The ring is beyond breathtaking and fills me and my fiancé with joy every time we look down at her hand.
Looking forward to getting our wedding bands from Keith in the near future.
I was thinking of proposing but had no idea where to start. I didn’t want a lab grown diamond and was unwilling to sacrifice on cut, color, clarity while sticking to my hard budget cap.
Quality (cut, color, clarity) over Quantity (carat size) I began my search in person and online and couldn’t find what I was looking for.
Keith TikTok (@nextdoorjeweler) came up on my for you page. I watched all the videos. I loved how his goal was to educate and not sell. I learned a lot.
I contacted Keith via email and his team responded right away.
We had an initial communication regarding cut, color, clarity and budget. His team had a large assortment of diamonds available to view. We set up an in person appointment.
Keith possesses a depth of knowledge unmatched in the business. His selection of diamonds are magnificent. Keith helped me chose the perfect diamond and custom setting.
There was no pressure to purchase but I did. My fiancée loved the ring.
If you are looking for a jeweler with integrity, knowledge & professionalism, I encourage you to use Keith and his team. They’re the best!
When my fiance told me about his ring process, he spoke very highly of how genuine and knowledgeable Keith is. Keith was not the first person he met with, but he said when he met Keith it became immediately clear that Keith was who he would buy from. He appreciated that Keith was not at all pushy, but was passionate about his work and determined to find the perfect stone for us. I have not stopped smiling or looking at my ring since the day my fiance proposed.
Aside from the ring itself, another special part of our engagement weekend was the joyful and kind email Keith wrote to congratulate & wish us happiness together.
About a week after the proposal, I got to meet Keith myself! What a pleasure - he had so many great tips about cleaning the ring (even has a published article on this) & keeping the ring safe. I am already looking forward to working with him throughout the wedding brand process.
Thank you Keith for being a huge part in this special time for us!
No time to read reviews? Trust Keith. You're in good hands.
Have a moment? Keith's been in this industry a long time. He's also an incredibly down to earth person, and a no-nonsense straight shooter. Ignore all of the "do you want a good deal?" guys on the street on 47th while you make your way to Keith. He won't let you make a mistake on a bad deal.
My family met Keith through family friends, and I decided to ask Keith (among other diamond dealers) to help with my now-fiancé's engagement ring. Keith gave me the diamond education I was sorely lacking, with zero pressure to go through him in the end. Still, he showed me the best diamonds out of the several places I went.
When I was hemming and hawing, asking about different diamonds, he gave honest feedback, even dissuading me from more expensive diamonds that he thought weren't worth the price jump. In the end, he found a diamond that exceeded my expectations, at a price point I was surprised at (and he seemed surprised at, too).
He answered 1000 questions with patience and didn’t try to pressure me in any direction.
I trusted him with incorporating some very sentimental family heirlooms into the ring and he took the responsibility seriously and delivered beyond expectations.
It’s reassuring to know he has your back for the lifetime of the ring and he takes the time to talk to the recipient of the ring about how to take care of it, maintenance etc.
My fiancé and I cannot say enough about Keith and the amazing work he does. Keith was there to guide me through the entire process with kindness and the utmost professionalism.
Once my fiancé received her ring he then showed the same grace and guidance with her. I would recommend Keith to anyone looking to purchase engagement rings.
Keith went above and beyond creating my dream engagement ring!!
My diamond is flawless, the setting is more than I could have even imagined, and the quality is unmatched.
The whole process was seamless and he educated us along the way on everything we needed to know about the quality of diamonds from color to cut and everything in between!
Keith I would recommend you to anyone and everyone! Thank you for making my dreams come true!
I have been looking for MONTHS for the right diamond.
Having so many issues with trust, and true care in what I wanted for my proposal to my other half, I thought I would never find what I was looking for in time.
A friend of mine recommended Keith and I'm so thankful he did.
Keith worked with me and within a week had started the design of this perfect ring.
Not 2 weeks later I had the ring in hand and made the most perfect proposal!
I went to Keith when my wife and I wanted to upgrade the stone in her engagement ring, and I'm so glad I did. I had zero prior experience with diamond buying but Keith made the process smooth, stress-free, and even fun.
He took the time to give me pointers about how to get the best value out of a diamond purchase, and was glad to arrange repeat visits so that my wife could look at the options.
One of the things I appreciated most was that Keith didn't push me towards bigger or pricier options just for the sake of it. Instead he was honest about what size stone would be the best fit for the ring and how to prioritize factors to get the best value from the purchase. And the end result was truly gorgeous.
I can absolutely vouch that Keith is a great guy to help any of you looking to upgrade the diamond in a ring.
I cannot speak highly enough of my experience dealing with Keith. From the moment I first contacted him, Keith went out of his way to guide me through the entire diamond buying process, educating me on what to look out for and how to approach the whole process.
He was incredibly open about sharing his expertise and wisdom throughout - giving me peace of mind - and never put any pressure on me to use him if I wanted to look elsewhere. In fact, he encouraged me to explore all of my options to make sure I was absolutely comfortable with my decision.
Given how momentous a moment it is in one's life, and the scale of the investment, the most important thing for me was to work with someone I could truly trust. From the first moment I met him, I knew I wanted to work with Keith on this uniquely important purchase - I felt completely at ease with him from the very start.
He even gave me his insights on how to approach the big moment itself! It really was such a pleasure to deal with him from start to finish, and I (and my fiancee!) couldn't be happier with the spectacular diamond we now get to admire thanks to Keith. Thank you again sir!
Keith is the absolute best man I've worked with in this industry. I am from Toronto Ontario and I was not having much luck with any of the jewelers here. I had seen Keith through his TikTok videos and initially never thought of going to see him because he was so far away, however things changed when my Fiancé and I decided to have a quick vacation to NYC for 4 days.
I messaged Keith about an appointment to see what diamonds he had in stock, and although they were all beautiful, they were not what I was specifically looking for. On our last day in the city, Keith messaged me about a diamond with my specific characteristics. He found the most perfect diamond for my Fiance after 1 day of meeting with him.
Keith is an absolute wizard in this industry and I am so grateful to have met him. I will only continue to work with Keith going forward for all of my diamond needs. Thank you so much Keith!!
This is waaayyy overdue but I just had to come back here and write this review. If you are searching for the best place to get an engagement ring please continue to read.
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! Second of all, you need to at least make one appointment with Keith! Not only he has the best prices/ quality ( and I'm talking about even better than some other countries people fly out to get a diamond ) he also cares about his customers. He made us feel like family and educated us on different types of diamonds and what we should look for. He never made us feel that he just want to sell us the most expensive diamond and he even advised us to make sure on a budget instead of trying to push that budget a bit more like other salesmen do.
He worked so hard for us and rushed our orders since we needed it earlier and went above and beyond. He stayed late to accommodate for of us both working. He made sure we were comfortable and ready to pull the trigger instead of rushing us to make a decision.
I don't really trust people with any decisions I make nor do I go out of my way to write a review but I just can't believe people like Keith still exists and I just needed to come here and let you guys know!
If you've ever been to South Beach FL and walked down Ocean Drive, you're probably no stranger to endless restaurants with mouth-watering entrees and signature drinks prominently on display and those hustling hosts trying to lure you in with their specials.
At the surface, NYC's diamond district (47th St. btwn 5th & 6th Aves) is quite similar...Sparkling jewelry under bright LED lights, and sales reps trying to wave you inside for a closer look. Unfortunately, beneath all that street-level retail glitter can be substantial price markups...remember, these guys have NYC rent to pay!
If you made it to Google & Yelp though, you're already doing your research, and I'll tell you right away that Keith Saxe at NYC Wholesale Diamonds should be at the top of your list of jewelers. Shopping for a cushion cut engagement diamond, I provided Keith my budget and my diamond preferences over the phone, and upon my first visit, Keith had four different diamonds for me to examine. He taught me how to "Loupe" (view under 10x magnification) the diamond, and gave me a very thorough run through of the GIA certification process, the diamond market in general, and things to look for when reviewing GIA certificates and comparing stones.
In the interest of full disclosure though, I admittedly visited nine other highly reviewed jewelers, many of which were also "appointment only," with inviting staff and impressive diamonds to show off as well. While each brought on a different approach and personality, at the end of the day, it was easy for me to give Keith my business for his patience, professionalism, and kindness throughout the process. Over the course of three visits with Keith, we honed in to a diamond that was absolutely perfect. I suppose it also didn't hurt that Keith was able to provide me a stunning diamond that had better specs than the other jewelers, at a much lower price! :) I used the savings to splurge on a beautiful custom setting that Keith also provided, set, and polished in advance of the big proposal.
After proposing this past Saturday night (spoiler alert: she said yes!), when the ring didn't fit perfectly, Keith happily adjusted it, adding two ball bearings to the underside/inside for free, and warmly invited us back if we needed anything else.
I recommend Keith Saxe at NYC Wholesale Diamonds without hesitation, and look forward to returning when it's time for those wedding bands!
UPDATE (9/23/22): Keith delivers again! After several years with our beautiful engagement and wedding bands purchased from NYC Wholesale Diamonds, we had a small issue with the wedding band. Keith was extremely courteous and fixed the issue promptly and at no cost. We would have been happy to pay but Keith stands behind everything he sells and we wouldn't' hesitate to recommend NYC Wholesale Diamonds for anyone else looking for top notch products and even better service to boot! Thank you!
My fiancée and I went together to meet Keith to pick out a ring and we both had a great experience. From the 1st communication via email to meeting Keith in Person he was great to work with. Once we met Keith in person we knew he was the guy we wanted to work with. He listened to what I wanted and with his guidance & expertise we picked a beautiful stone. Keith made us feel at ease and confident in choice.
The ring turned out beautiful and we will definitely be back.
From start to finish, working with Keith Saxe was an amazing experience. I can’t thank him enough for all of his help, knowledge, professionalism, and expertise — not only in sourcing the perfect diamond, but also designing a stunning engagement ring that exceeded all of our expectations in every way! To say the ring is spectacular would be an understatement. Most importantly, my fiancée absolutely LOVES it! Keith definitely helped make our engagement even more special. He always patiently and quickly responded to and answered all of my many questions fully and honestly and guided me step by step throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough…thanks again for everything, Keith, we could not be happier!
Whatever you’ve read about Keith and team is an understatement. Words do not articulate well enough the level of care and professionalism that he demonstrates.
This is not someone trying to just sell you a diamond or a piece of jewelry, this is a man who truly cares about you getting the most bang for your buck and your special moment being perfect.
I’m not one to write reviews much less say they exceeded my expectations but with Keith I feel compelled because he went above and beyond every step of the way.
God bless you Keith!
I wish nothing but success and blessings to you and yours!
You are in great hands when working with Keith. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in everything he explained to my husband and I when we purchased our wedding bands. He has a beautiful collection and helped us select the wedding bands that were perfect for us. Will definitely be going back to Keith for any other future jewelry purchases!
Keith is amazing!! I first met Keith when my brother-in-law and I went to pick out a ring for my sister. Keith was recommended to my brother-in-law by a family friend. Keith is so kind and knowledgeable and walks you through the process of what you should look for in a jeweler. He is the best in the business, and there is no need to go anywhere else. My brother-in-law and I were both so impressed leaving his office.
He is attentive and funny and makes the experience of designing the ring an amazing one. Once I saw my sister's ring one day, I knew I wanted Keith to make my ring.
At the time, I wasn't dating anyone, but Keith told me I could email him my dream ring, and he would keep it on file. I thought that was funny but why not! I emailed him pictures and details of my ring and hoped that my future fiancé would go to Keith one day. I honestly didn't think he would keep an email sent three years ago, but he did!
My fiancé learned about Keith through my brother-in-law, and he told me when he went to Keith with my sister, Keith pulled up the email I sent him!
My fiancé said from the first phone call to get the ball rolling in making the ring to picking it up was the best experience. He said Keith is a true professional, and you don't find many people like Keith in the industry. Save your time, and don't go to those chain jewelers. Keith will go above and beyond from the first time you meet him and even after your significant other gets your ring.
Our family loves Keith!! Thank you for helping my fiancé design my dream sunflower ring and my sisters.
This is our second diamond ring Keith has designed for us. Keith always keeps the process simple and moving along. Keith’s wholesale pricing and excellent diamond selection is what keeps us coming back to NYC Wholesale Diamonds
Keith is fantastic and great to work with when buying diamonds.
He was very patient with me and kept searching until he found exactly what I was looking for. He is extremely knowledgeable and open about what to expect when making a purchase.
I would not hesitate one moment to recommend Keith.
Keith helped my husband create the ring of my dreams for our engagement and wedding. I could not have been happier with the quality, design, and level of care he puts into his work. He is incredibly talented, professional, knowledgable, and trustworthy! He is the best of the best!!!
Keith helped guide me through the entire engagement ring process. He was extremely professional and knew everything there is to know about the diamond industry.
My fiancé absolutely loves the ring and I would highly recommend going here for your engagement rings!!!
I reached out to Keith early in my engagement ring search. During my initial appointment, he gave me a thorough overview of the diamond buying process. He also showed me several diamonds based on the initial criteria I gave him. We spent the next several months narrowing my criteria even further, and ultimately Keith found us the perfect diamond.
Through every step of the process, Keith was knowledgeable, patient, respectful of my budget and great with communication. I could not have imagined a better experience finding a ring! Overall, Keith is fantastic and I'm incredibly grateful for his help in finding the perfect ring. I would (and will) recommend him to anyone!
First, Keith deserves not 5, but a 10 STAR REVIEW!!! If you have not met Keith, then you are wasting your time and throwing your hard earned money down the drain. Keith is a class act in my book. His pure honesty, knowledge and attention to detail is one of a kind. It can be very uncomfortable going into a world like the diamond district and hoping not to get scammed/jerked or robbed. After reading the tons of 5 Star reviews, It was a little skeptical, but I was 100% WRONG. My personal experience with Keith was on point and more. He will give you a one on one class on the 4 C's and beyond. Answer any and all questions and there is never any pressure to purchase anything. You will walk out of there knowing more about the good/bad and ugly about diamonds. Again, his honesty, knowledge and persona makes him very easy to talk to and he is the real deal of the Diamond District. MAKE YOUR APPT ASAP AND GO SEE KEITH.
I contacted Keith about an engagement ring less than 2 weeks before Valentine's Day which was when I needed it. He made me the most wonderful ring you could imagine.
This was the best experience I could have expected and the ring fit perfectly even though I only sent a video I took of my fiance's hand while she was taking a nap. Couldn't be more happy and what a great surprise! One of the best days of my life...
After visiting many jewelers we found Keith and NYC Wholesale Diamonds.
Keith's service and selection was exceptional. He helped us all the way through our engagement and wedding band purchases. We are so happy with the overall quality of the experience.
It's the only place we will go for jewelry and diamonds from here on out.
My husband bought my engagement ring from Keith and it is absolute perfection!! We then went back together to choose our wedding bands. He was SUPER helpful and has the best quality diamonds around. We felt so comfortable around him and every time we came in, he offered to clean my engagement ring. It looked brand new once he was done! I will 100% be coming back and recommend to all of our friends and family.
I can't even describe how wonderful it was to work with Keith. He is beyond professional. Recommended by a family member, Keith met with me, and already had several diamonds to choose from in the price range we discussed. We reviewed each diamond and Keith offered his professional opinion for both the stone and the setting.
I went ahead with the order, and Keith exceeded the tight time frame I was working under, and the finished product did not disappoint. My now fiancé was stunned at the beauty of the ring as have others, including her adult children. I will recommend Keith to anyone looking for fine jewelry and wishes to work with a true professional!
Keith is amazing to work with! He is extremely professional and has a great selection of jewelry!
He does not pressure you like a lot of other jewelers and is truly interested in making sure you get what you want.
He did an amazing job on me and my husband's wedding bands and a tennis bracelet for my mom! I've also had several friends use Keith and they all had amazing experiences!
My fiancé and Keith designed my beautiful, perfect dream ring all through email! Keith was always quick to respond, and included him every step of the way when making design decisions.
Not to mention providing the most beautiful center stone!! So impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. 100% work with Keith if you have the opportunity.
Working with Keith to find the perfect diamond and setting for my now fiancé was a wonderful and stress-free experience. Like most guys, in the beginning of the process I was not well versed in diamonds, but Keith took a very comprehensive approach with me.
Our first phone call was not about the diamonds he could offer, but a complete walk through of the process, points I could do more research on, and things to just be aware of. After that call I sent Keith the specifications I was looking for. He sent me back fantastic options matching my specific specs. In addition to NYC Wholesale Diamonds, I looked at Blue Nile and Rare Carat. None of their stones were able to compete with Keith’s selection.
Then there is Keith’s unrivaled customer service. I am a very calculated and meticulous guy. Throughout the process I exchanged 61 emails and 13 phone calls with Keith. No one else is going to be that attentive or care that much. He made engagement ring shopping a truly memorable experience and I couldn’t be more grateful. Keith earned himself a lifelong customer.
I feel bad it has taken me this long to post a review of Keith Saxe and Wholesale Diamonds, but months after purchase I feel compelled to write this review because my experience purchasing thru Keith was nothing short of spectacular.
My now fiancé and I have been together going on seven years at this point, and over the last few years I have been gathering all of the hints and ideas and bits of information from her, so when I began shopping and looking around the summer of 2020, I for the most part already knew what it was that I was looking for. It was a matter of finding it.
When I began my search, I came across Keith online and wanted to reach out to him based solely on the amazing reviews I had read of NYC Wholesale diamonds. I emailed Keith what it was I was looking for, and he promptly emailed me back, letting me know he had some options to take a look at and also answering some of the questions that I had, while asking me some questions so he could get a better sense of me, what my timeline was, my budget etc...
There was no pressure to his email, I got no feeling at all I was trying to "be sold", I genuinely felt Keith was trying to educate me and assist with no guarantee I was going to go thru him.
I live on Long Island so I began making the rounds to all of the top rated jewelers on the Island, and really, my plan was to see what I could find on the Island and then follow up with Keith and compare.
After several months of shopping around, there was just no comparison. I had multiple establishments tell me the diamond I was looking for, at the price range I was in, and the quality and size I desire, was just not possible.
Keith made it a reality, he gave multiple options that were below, at, and slightly above the budget I originally set, without compromising what it was I wanted, laying out for me exactly what the options would be.
He exchanged several emails with me over several months, met with me several times in the middle of the pandemic in person at his office, and not one time did I feel pressured in any way. I decided to purchase thru Keith Saxe & NYC Wholesale Diamonds, and its one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I could tell from my fiancé's reaction that I hit it out of the park, and months later, the ring is still the topic of conversation every-time we are around friends and family. I know this is a long review, but I truly had the best experience purchasing thru Keith and NYC Wholesale diamonds,
I encourage anyone and everyone to contact Keith if they are shopping for an engagement ring.
It was so easy to work with Keith. I told him what I was looking for and my price range and he delivered a stellar 2.86KT round brilliant diamond that was spectacular. He set it and shipped it within 3 weeks. It was the best experience I've ever had diamond shopping.
The experience we had from start to finish couldn’t have been better. Keith at NYC Wholesale Diamonds researched options ahead of time, presented us with several diamonds to consider and walked us through a comparative analysis. The post sales support from shipping to addressing insurance questions was also impeccable.
During covid, I decided it was time to start looking for an engagement ring to propose to my girlfriend. As you can imagine working full time in finance and having what feels like an endless list of possible NYC jewelers is beyond intimidating. Like a lot of people, my biggest fear was getting played and taken for my money. I came across NYC Wholesale and was intrigued by all of the rave reviews about Keith.
Like a lot of people, I was nervous that maybe it was too good to be true. Nevertheless, I decided to at least give Keith a call and see how it went. From the first call, I felt beyond comfortable with Keith. He is an endless resource of diamond knowledge. He helped teach me about various things to look for in a diamond while also answering every question I had.
Keith never tried to force a sale or pressure me into purchasing a ring from him. He simply shared his knowledge and shared what he could do at my price point. To this day, my now fiancé receives at least a compliment a day on her ring. Keith's work was absolutely stunning and her radiant cut ring with a halo is beautiful. If you are serious about purchasing a ring, I would do yourself a favor and call Keith. It will be worth your time as you are sure to learn something new.
I couldn’t be more thankful that I worked with Keith and he will have a returning customer. I can now say with certainty all of the positive reviews on this site were warranted as he was as trustworthy and easy to work with as I could have hoped. The fact that I’m leaving my first review ever on a website, speaks volumes about how much I enjoyed my experience. Thanks again Keith!
Keith is the man! After trying three different places in the Diamond District two years ago, he helped me with the most amazing engagement ring for my fiancé. I was worried about finding a trustworthy jeweler and I’m happy to have found Keith. He made me feel comfortable before, during, and after my purchase. After 2 years of engagement I came back for our wedding bands and they are just as amazing as the engagement ring! Look no further then this guy! You’re in good hands! Thanks again Keith!
Incredible experience! Look no further if you are shopping for engagement rings. Working with Keith was an absolute joy.
Not only is Keith extremely knowledgeable (more than 30 years of experience) and transparent, but he is also passionate about his work and ensures you have a memorable experience. Keith truly listened to what we were looking for and provided wonderful options based on our specifications.
The choices from NYC Wholesale Diamonds were far beyond what we had seen elsewhere. He made every step of the process easy (despite COVID) from picking a diamond, to picking a setting once the center stone was selected, to ensuring proper sizing, to educating us on ring care.
We HIGHLY, highly recommend NYC Wholesale Diamonds and Keith!
It is hard to put into words how exceptional of an experience it has been to purchase both a stunning engagement ring and wedding band from Keith at NYC Wholesale Diamonds! He is an absolute master at what he does: sourcing a great and extensive collection of beautiful diamonds, designing custom jewelry to complement the perfect diamond, patiently and thoroughly educating his customers, showing care and concern for your budget, desires and any thoughts you have about diamonds / jewelry ... the list summarizing Keith's great qualities and capabilities is endless. To put it simply, what makes Keith different is that he is both a (i) world-class diamond and jewelry expert and (ii) a genuine, good guy that cares deeply about his customer's experience and satisfaction (as if he was a small-town jeweler relying on deep relationship with a small customer-base).
I highly recommend you giving Keith a call if you are looking for an engagement ring, wedding band or any diamond / jewelry purchase. Prior to meeting with Keith, I had no experience buying a diamond, working with a jeweler or buying any fine jewelry. The incredible care and patience of Keith helped me transition from a clueless beginner to someone buying an engagement ring with great confidence. After having such a great experience purchasing an engagement ring last year, just yesterday I visited Keith with my fiance to purchase a wedding band. Over the past year, I told my fiance, family and friends about how great Keith is and how lucky I was to find him, which certainly set the bar high for our meeting. As expected, Keith exceeded my fiances expectations: she heard all about the process Keith and I went through to craft her perfect engagement ring (which Keith remembered in impressive detail), found the perfect matching wedding band and received a complimentary deep cleaning of her engagement ring. She was very impressed with Keith and is thrilled about her matching engagement ring.
The punchline is no matter what your experience or budget, give Keith a call, you will be thrilled with your decision!
We have purchased two diamonds from Keith Saxe NYC Wholesale Diamonds. We live on the west side of the lower 48, so these purchases have been over the phone, thru the internet and email.
With the first purchase I called and spoke with Keith, discussing what we wanted in a diamond. I am by far an expert in diamonds, however, do know exactly what I want.
The round diamond we purchased is one of the most beautiful stones I’ve seen and receive many compliments as well as where did you buy the diamond.
The recent purchase was a cushion shaped diamond and again a very bright beautiful stone. Both stones exceeded my expectations in every way.
It is Keith’s knowledge, customer service, integrity, and quality of his inventory that enables a purchase of this type (many dollars) to be completed with the utmost confidence thru the internet - I trust Keith immeasurable.
Thanks to Keith and NYC Wholesale Diamonds the process of buying an engagement ring was simple, exciting and a lot of fun!
Keith is very knowledgeable and was a huge help in teaching me about diamonds and engagement rings. He really took the time and put in the extra effort to hand-select the perfect diamond for me!
I got the best deal in the world for this amazing ring, I highly recommend them and will be back there for wedding bands ~Luke S.
I didn't know what to expect when I met Keith. I read all of the 5 star reviews and honestly was a bit skeptical when I called him. How can someone have so many amazing reviews, right?
Take it from me, he deserves every single one of them. If you want impeccable service, incredible knowledge, gorgeous diamonds, honesty, kindness, and peace of mind knowing that you can trust someone, go see Keith.
I am not easy to please and I very rarely take the time to give a review but buying a diamond can be overwhelming and intimidating and I promise you that if you work with Keith, you will not be disappointed. He found me the stone of my dreams and he did it very quickly. It was the first one he showed me! He then went on to design the ring exactly as I had asked.
I give permission to Keith to share my number with anyone that is serious about buying from him. It would be my pleasure to share more about my experience with Keith and NYC Wholesale Diamonds.
Let me start this review by stating that there are not enough positive things to say about Mr. Keith Saxe. Honest, caring, kind, patient and passionate about his work are just a few short words that come to mind when my fiancé and I think of him.
Keith has many years of experience helping couples find their dream ring, we were fortunate enough to be one of them. Keith makes you feel comfortable, and educates you on all you need to know prior to purchasing a ring. We will be forever grateful to have found Keith Saxe! He has created the ring of my fiancé's dreams. We have easily recommended at least 3 other couples to go visit Keith in the last 10 days! Keith is one in a million! Thank you so much Keith! We tend to be life long customers!
I was looking for a special gift for my wife and Keith was recommended to me by a very good friend. I am so thankful that my friend sent me to Keith!
In the beginning I was not exactly sure what I wanted to get as I was thinking about a ring or maybe a necklace. Keith took the time to ask the right questions about what my wife is like, what does she prefer in jewelry, and whether she would wear the piece on a daily basis or only for special occasions. By the end of our visit we had agreed upon the perfect choice and that choice was verified by the look on my wife's face when she received her necklace.
I can't thank Keith enough for spending the time to help us make the right decision and being so easy to work with. I will be recommending Keith to all my friends and family. Thanks again!"
Keith Saxe.... how do I even begin to describe Keith Saxe?
Just like the perfect diamond, navigating the engagement ring process with Keith and his team is flawless.
I came across Keith via a recommendation from one of my best friends. Her and her fiancé met with tons of jewelers both in and out of the Diamond District and raved about Keith’s professionalism, knowledge, and prices. So needless to say when I began the process of shopping for my now-fiancé’s ring, Keith was my first stop.
Before we met Keith asked what I was looking for, what was important to me, and my budget and never deviated. He prepared an stunning presentation of diamonds and took the time to educate me on the four C’s, the GIA certification process, and more. I absolutely fell in love with one diamond but at that time I wasn’t ready to move forward and Keith understood and wasn’t pushy, however he remained a resource for anything I needed. As a salesperson by profession, I hate being sold (especially poorly).
Over the next few months I met with multiple other jewelers both in and out of New York and no ones price and quality compared to Keith’s (and that’s not counting those that lied straight to my face!). For the same end product Keith beat other retailers (even online ones) by THOUSANDS of dollars. Needless to say all roads led back to Keith. He was even able to get his hands back on the diamond I fell in loves with months before. Keith and Staley then worked with me on making my vision a reality on a beautiful custom double halo setting with one halo facing vertically and the other at a 45° angle- very different from things they had some previously.
Upon picking up the final product I was blown away and a few weeks later- she said YES.
Everyone I spoke to “had a guy” when it came to diamonds, I’m happy to say that I have the best guy.
For the past 34 years I have had the privilege and honor of being a client and friend to Keith Saxe. From custom designing my gorgeous wedding ring and spectacular wedding band to resetting an heirloom ring Keith continues to outdo himself. Keith has built a business that is honest, he takes the time to educate and choose the perfect piece and he creates experiences that are memorable. For the past 34 years I have been delighted with the work Keith produces and am thrilled that my daughters, family and friends have worked with Keith as well!
My new fiancé had my ring made here by Keith. I was surprised with how beautiful the ring was considering I had only given Alex (my fiancé) limited information on what I wanted, and yet Keith was able to create my dream ring! Thank you so much from the both of us. Alex and Rebecca
My dealings with NYC Wholesale Diamonds and Keith, was just a wonderful experience. I live in The Netherlands so we did all our correspondence by e-mail. Anything I wanted to know was answered promptly and all information I was given was spot on. The ring turned out magnificent. I felt very confident in the whole process, and especially Keith's ability to deliver on what we had discussed. I cannot speak highly enough of this gentleman. It was such a great feeling to deal with some one so trustworthy, especially when living on the other side of the world. Thanks again Keith .
I was fortunate enough to be referred to Keith at NYC Wholesale Diamonds to guide me in finding my girlfriend of many years the perfect diamond ring to symbolize our love. Keith was kind, patient, fully competent and understood exactly what I was looking for. He made what can be a very intimidating process very easy for me. My fiance absolutely loves her ring. Keith provides a quality of service that has made me a customer for life. Can't thank him enough.
Working with Keith to find the perfect engagement ring made a genuinely intimidating process much more relaxed. Keith is a true class act. He was extremely patient throughout the process. My fiance has not stopped hearing how beautiful the ring is. I would highly recommend Keith to all!
Working with Keith Saxe is truly a first class experience the entire time!
He is a true gentleman that will never pressure you, and will gladly help you until you are fully satisfied. I’ve worked with many jeweler’s in the past and none of them were more upfront and willing to work together than Keith.
Most importantly, the quality of product is top notch! Working with Keith is best choice I made, and thank you again for creating my fiancé dream ring!
I cannot put into words the gratitude and appreciation I have for Keith in this review because it will fall short of doing any justice to my experience. Beyond the fact that Keith is a respected and renowned expert the field of diamonds, his approach to provide guidance during an otherwise overwhelming process was the most important thing to me.
He is part of an experience that I will remember for a lifetime and if I could bring him 1 MILLION MORE CUSTOMERS to show my critical acclaim for his work, I would without flinching. He is a true professional and his compassion for his clients is demonstrated through his candid approach. There was no pressure at any point of the experience from the initial conception of the ring idea, through payment and finally through sorting out insurance paperwork.
Keith sets the standard for how this process should be conducted because beyond a financial transaction for the end customer, he facilitated an experience that makes you feel like family. The quality of the ring is breath-taking and I assure you my fiancé was floored by her new ring.
Ring quality A+. Customer Experience A+. Timeliness A+.
My journey for finding the perfect diamond began a little over a year ago. My sweet husband wanted to upgrade my wedding ring and let me be in 100% control of the choosing process to ensure I get exactly what my heart desired. I knew I wanted to travel to NYC and visit the Diamond District but that street can be pretty overwhelming if you're just walking in to look and not knowing if the person you're speaking to is one to trust with such a very important, valuable purchase. I decided to extensively research online in hopes of finding the right match and that's when I came across Keith Saxe and his phenomenal reviews. Upon reading what many people had to say, I felt compelled to contact him and he did not disappoint! He was very attentive in listening to what exactly I was looking for and was very informative and genuinely interested in helping me obtain my goal.
Fast forward to a year later and we were finally able to make the trip to NYC and to finally meet Keith in person. He was very professional, informative, not pushy at all, kind and generally a great human being who truly cared about us and what we were looking for. He gave us multiple choices to look at and explained in great detail the qualities of each diamond and which one he felt in his professional opinion checked all my boxes within my budget. It was the perfect diamond for me at a great price!! Next came the setting in which I was very specific about as well and Keith and his team custom made it to my exact specifications and it turned out better than I could have imagined. I received my ring yesterday and saw it all together for the first time and needless to say I'm over the moon excited and couldn't be more thankful to Keith and his team for such an awesome, meaningful experience! I would highly recommend Keith to anyone looking for jewelry and his access to beautiful stones and his knowledge and expertise are truly something to trust.
Keith, Bill and I want to thank you for such an amazing experience from the start. Thank you for your patience and helping me fulfill such a special gift from my husband and we look forward to many more experiences!
I am a tinkerer. I like everything to be perfect and I pretty much do everything I can to make something perfect. I change my fantasy football lineup about 10 times every week before I can put together something I find suitable. This is the type of person I am and this is the person that Keith Saxe was able to put up with and handle.
First let me talk about Keith and then I will talk about the ring. Keith is absolutely amazing. There is nothing he wont do to make your ring or piece of jewelry absolutely fricken perfect. I never, not one time, felt pressured to buy anything. I never was oversold on anything. He has some of the best quality merchandise and the absolute best prices and he knows it. He has no reason to oversell and pressure you because he knows he has the best and for the best price.
For those people still looking, please stop, if you are a tinkerer like me you may stop. I must have went to a dozen places and looked at almost 50+ diamonds in person and hundreds of diamonds online. Keith is the only person you need to go to.
I asked Keith for a very specific design and he nailed it spot on. The ring is gorgeous. I almost didn't want to give it to my fiancé. If I ever need any jewelry of any kind I will always come to Keith first.
Long story short, she said yes and I gave her the ring, and she looks at the dam thing more than she looks at me these days, which gives me time to go watch some football.
Keith I can't thank you enough, and any friends or even anyone that I know that is thinking of proposing or even buying jewelry I will send them your way. You are the absolute best and I can't thank you enough.
Before we arrived in Sasha’s hometown in Yekaterinburg, Russia that day I had pre-arranged a photographer with the help of her parents. The cover story was that her aunt who was also the principal of the high school where she studied had given us the photoshoot as a gift since it was our first time in her hometown together. You will see in the pictures that it starts as a normal shoot until she realized what I was up to after I recited an excerpt of a poem in front of the central fountain in the recreational park.
The poem is called “Love” written by Vladimir Mayakovsky in 1922 which has been translated to English. The park where I proposed is named after Vladimir Mayakovsky and Sasha played there when she was a child. It is also near the place her father proposed to her mother.
Once I proposed to Sasha, and she said Yes, I told her there was another surprise. My parents, her parents, her grandmother, her aunt, my brother and sister appeared to us on the sightseeing train you see in the pictures. My parents, brother and sister traveled from Miami while her grandmother traveled all the way across Russia by train for 24 hours to be there. We then travelled all over Russia together as a family attending 4 World Cup games and too many historical sites to list in 4 different cities.
It was a magical and unforgettable experience which we will never forget. I share this with you because your trustworthy service and assistance culminated in a masterpiece of a ring for us which was critical. She is madly in love with her ring design and everything it symbolizes.
I could not have pulled this off without your help. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
I had the good fortune of being referred to Keith by a family member, and I knew the minute I met him that when the time came I would buy from NYC Wholesale. My now fiancee and I went in for our initial appointment together and we felt right at home (kind of like family!) and nothing changed in my subsequent visits to complete the process. It's such an important moment in your life that nerves are inevitable, but Keith did such an excellent job of making everything clear, comfortable and easy. I never felt at any point that I was getting anything but the best deal within my budget range - and of course the perfect ring!
I would have given a 5-star review regardless, but Keith really went above and beyond when he squeezed me in on a rainy Friday afternoon so I could pick up the ring, rush home and propose.
The ring truly is perfect; my fiancee receives compliments regularly and we will be returning to Keith for our wedding bands.
Keith is absolutely amazing! He is everything you need when searching for the perfect engagement ring. I found him through good reviews online but was hesitant since I didn't know anyone that had used him. My first time meeting with him was great! He showed me the exact diamonds I was looking for and educated me along the way. He is not the pushy salesman you picture when walking through the diamond district of NYC. He is professional and trustworthy, exactly what you need when searching for an engagement ring. He truly cared about making both me and my fiancé happy. The process was simple, after meeting for the diamond I went back to seal the deal and customize the band. It was ready shortly after and came out perfect. The diamond is beyond beautiful and the custom setting came out better than I could have imagined! My fiancé absolutely loves the ring and I could not be happier with my experience. We will definitely be going back for our wedding bands and any future diamond purchases! I highly recommend going to Keith for an engagement ring or diamonds in general.
I want to thank Keith for the best diamond engagement ring ever!!! We were in NYC for business. I had no intentions of buying a ring. After seeing an associate's gorgeous ring, I asked where she found it. She got me in touch with Keith and I saw him the next day. Keith explained all of the aspects of the perfect Diamond and setting for my girl friend. Of course Keith had the perfect diamond for me to inspect. After the deal was set he asked me when the Big day was. Merinda's birthday!!! August 15. Keith gave me some great advice and during our talk we came up with an even better idea. Our house is in Totality of the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse. Do it then!!! Thank you, Keith you are a Genius!!! Your interest in me and our day made it better than could have been imagined. You and NYCWD are the Best. She said YES!!!
My husband and I purchased my engagement ring and our wedding bands from Keith at NYC Wholesale Diamonds and highly recommend him. When we first started looking at rings, several family friends had recommended their jewelers in the NYC area, so when we happened to be there for a few days for work, we met with three or four different wholesale jewelers. (We lived in D.C. at the time). Keith was our first appointment and he took the time to explain the 4C's to me and my husband and didn't put any pressure on us to purchase from him. After a few other less than stellar encounters that day, we returned to Keith. When we decided that the diamond he'd shown us was a little outside our budget, Keith had an even prettier stone that was within our price range overnighted from his showroom in L.A. Keith did a perfect job creating my dream engagement ring at a price that we could reasonably afford without compromising quality at all. And our wedding bands are beautiful, too. We both get lots of compliments. We'll definitely return to Keith for all our jewelry needs - anniversaries, push presents, you name it! Thanks, Keith!
What more can one say about Mr. Keith Saxe and NYC Wholesale Diamonds!!!
Just reading up on the reviews before mine a person can see how much care and professionalism is displayed in all that Mr. Saxe brings to the table. I wanted the ideal ring for my beautiful fiancé and I was not sure where to go or where to start. But through a friend, who recently got engaged, I was introduced to Keith and from that point we hit the ground running. He was patient with me when I found out the original style my girlfriend wanted was different than when we first were in contact. He sent me updates on where we were in the process of finding the ring, when we found the right diamond, when the ring was complete as well as when the ring was going to be shipped to me in Florida for this day! If anyone is looking for quality service, professionalism with the peace of mind in knowing Keith has your best interest and investment at heart, go to NYC Wholesale Diamonds. I would recommend this company to anyone I encounter searching for the finest diamonds for the right price.
Thank you very much, NYCWD, for helping me purchase my engagement ring. It went off without a hitch, and your sage advice aided me greatly! Thanks again!
I’m not a frequent reviewer – but I also don’t frequently shop for an engagement ring. A walk down 47th street is all you need – before you realize you have to look for a referral, someone you can trust. Heard only good things about Keith Saxe and am happy to say the recommendations were spot on! So easy to work with, not pushy at all and most of all has a vibe and demeanor that just makes you feel comfortable, and trusting. Listened to what I was looking for, called me only when he found it – and delivered the perfect ring – on time and fairly priced – along with all appraisal certificates and help with insurance. Keith even managed to find a low profile “stealthy” ring box so the proposal could be a total surprise Best of all – she said YES and totally loves the ring. Highly recommend without reservation.
As many of the other reviewers, I was looking to purchase a diamond for an engagement ring for my now fiancee and based on the stellar reviews set up an appointment with Keith. He blew away all of my expectations. I supplied my budget and desired specifications for the diamond and he showed me several diamonds that were within the price point and gave honest advice about each diamond. There was never any pressure and Keith made the whole process very easy. I left his office every time more excited to propose and to see my fiancee’s face.
I ran into an issue with the jeweler who would be supplying the setting and Keith did not skip a beat and had a custom setting made to my specifications. The entire finished product was beyond stunning and my fiancee was ecstatic. I cannot recommend Keith enough. He treats his customers with respect and puts great time and effort into his work and it shows in the pieces that are produced. Thank you Keith!
The entire ring selecting/buying process couldn’t have gone smoother. Thank you sooo much for making this happen!! My fiance absolutely loves the ring and everyone around us adores it. You’ve made me look brilliant!! Thanks again, and I will surely share your business with everyone I know.
I started working with Keith after my brother got engaged… He couldn’t stop raving about how great his experience was and how easy Keith made the process. My brother nailed it and now I can’t/won’t stop raving about Keith and his amazing establishment. I’m not a very good decision maker and ask a boat load of questions before I make any kind of purchase… Keith never failed to respond to any of my requests and went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information I needed. He never applied any pressure and was extremely patient with me as we worked through the ring buying process (which he lays out in incredible detail!). It’s important to mention that we worked through this whole process via email and phone calls as I live in Houston, TX. I never had to visit the store and felt extremely comfortable because Keith is the consummate professional!! The end result is the amazing ring pictured below and the love of my life saying “Yes!”. Thanks again, Keith!
“Walking down 47th Street can be very intimidating. Everyone is trying to sell you something. So when I walked in to Keith’s office I was a little nervous. Those nerves soon went away and I was confident that he wasn’t just trying to make a quick sale on me. He took his time to go through the process and showed me exactly what I was buying. Never once did he try to convince me to go over my budget or make me commit to anything without having proper time to think it over. In the end, I walked away with an absolutely stunning ring at an incredible price. My fiance and I can’t thank Keith enough, and I would absolutely recommend NYC Wholesale Diamonds to anyone in the market for a ring.”
Kiersten and I want to thank you again for everything you have done! We both could not be happier. You made the process enjoyable from the very beginning and as promised, here are a few photos from our special day.
Before meeting Keith, my fiance and I were completely overwhelmed by the engagement ring buying process. I had done a lot of online reading and been to a few stores in person but had no idea what I was doing and was really worried about being taken for a ride by a jeweler. All of that changed when my fiance and I met Keith with NYC Wholesale Diamonds. His complete understanding of the diamond market and calm demeanor immediately put us at ease.
He gave us a thorough and easy-to-understand lesson on the 4 C’s which allowed us to make educated decisions on what was important to us in buying a diamond. Once we communicated our preferences on the 4 C’s to Keith, he searched through his extensive collection and was able to show us two amazing diamonds that were exactly what we were looking for. After making our decision, he continued to be immediately responsive via email until the ring was delivered. He walked me through how to buy insurance, provided an appraisal, and GIA certification (which he explained the significance of). He even insisted on us sharing our proposal news with him. We can’t recommend Keith highly enough and will be going to him for every diamond purchase we make for the rest of our lives.
A couple of more quick notes on Keith: 1. My situation was a bit atypical in that I went through the entire ring-buying process with my fiance. We both loved him right away. 2. He never tried to upsell us on anything throughout the process, which was huge. This was the first diamond I had bought and was worried about someone trying to nickel and dime me as had happened at other stores but, in fact, Keith spoke with me about ways to minimize cost. 3. His timeline was 2-3 times faster than anyone else. Everywhere else we went had quoted us 4-6 weeks from deposit to delivery; Keith had the ring to me exactly how we discussed in 8 days! 4. No one was even close to matching in terms of price and quality. I did a lot of pricing research and no one was in the same stratosphere.
Keith was AMAZING in helping me design the perfect engagement ring for my fiancé. I drove down from Connecticut several times to see him, initially because he had exactly the setting style I was looking for and his Yelp reviews were very positive. After working with him for several months I can say that all of the good reviews are completely accurate.
First, he knows his stuff. He’s incredibly knowledgable about diamonds and settings, and spent time teaching me the nuances of diamond selection that you can’t really get online (though you should still research the 4 C’s to get started).
Keith was also very patient and I never felt that I was being pressured or “sold to”. I came back for multiple appointments and he was pleasant each time. He believes that if he treats his customers well, he’ll get a lot more long term business through referrals than the usual guy pushing a quick sale. For example, he insisted that I should NOT buy wedding bands with the engagement ring, even though some jewelry stores will try to add them on to make a few more bucks. And he even gave me recommendations for my proposal!
His selection is excellent. He works right in the diamond district, goes to trade shows and has direct access to a large selection of various diamonds that is always changing. As a result he found an incredibly brilliant center stone for me that defies even the strong quality specifications that it’s certified for.
Finally his prices are unbeatable. Even though I started with Keith, I did my due diligence shopping around in Fairfield County and I couldn’t come close to finding anything as good for the price. The final ring was the best diamond, in the best setting, for the best price. You can’t beat that.
If you’re in the market for an engagement ring, I absolutely recommend that you make an appointment to speak with him. Since he insisted that I not buy wedding bands at the time, my fiancé and I are going back to see him together!
I can personally vouch for Keith’s professionalism. Trust is what you need when looking for high quality diamonds and that is exactly what you get with Keith – unparalleled trust! Also, I had come to Keith after shopping around and had found what I thought was a great pair of diamond stud earrings at a great price…and they were but he beat on both price and quality without even being asked. We will go to him in the future without having to shop around first and you can too.
Keith has done right by my family for nearly 20 years of going to him for Jewelry. When it was finally my turn to purchase an engagement ring as always he was extremely helpful. I called and gave him 2 weeks notice of an appointment to look at diamonds, for both my cousin and myself looking to get engaged. We arrived to excellent choices at exactly our budget. My now fiance could not be happier with her ring and in turn made me very happy. I will probably be going to him for the wedding bands and her birthday gifts as he has access to all types of beautiful Jewelry.
Keith is an honest great guy who will help you find the best diamond for a great price. And he shows you HOW to do it. He’s the best and I will continue to shop with him!
Keith could not have done a better job on creating a custom setting and sourcing the diamond that I bought for my fiance. My fiance has not stopped getting compliments on her ring since the day I proposed. Keith was extremely professional and helpful during every step of the process. He was patient and knowledgeable in answering the numerous questions I had about the diamond buying process. He always responded quickly to my emails and calls as well. Keith listened to what I wanted and help me chose the perfect setting and diamond. He did not just try to make the sale, he truly cared about me and wanted to make sure I was happy throughout the process. He even offered to help me brainstorm ideas for my proposal. I will 100% recommend Keith to anyone and I will use Keith from now on for every diamond purchase I make.
Keith is really great to deal with! I never felt any pressure to buy and Keith was super helpful in educating me about diamonds and how they are priced upfront. He was supportive throughout the process and was always available to answer my multitude of questions. For any big purchase I feel Keith would be the person you would want to deal with. Thanks Keith! Eric R.
Keith Saxe is by far the best in the business. When it comes to quality, price, and customer service he is above and beyond impeccable. I will use him for all my diamond needs for as long as hes in business, and i will recommend him to all my family and friends. He is not pushy, and genuinely cares about his clients. This is why he is on top of his industry in the epicenter of the diamond district. Call him, you will not be disappointed.
Keith has been amazing from responding to my emails, showing selection of diamonds, suggesting ring settings, on time delivery…basically,the whole experience has been amazing working with him. Selecting a ring within a week was the most stressful part because I already booked my tickets to Vieques, Puerto Rico. Keith took care of everything. The Diamond is AMAZING. My fiancée loved it, maybe a little more than she loves me 🙂
Keith was exactly what I was looking for in a diamond dealer. He showed me a great selection of diamonds in the range I requested. He was very respectful and never gave a hard sell. He had the setting made wonderfully with a very classic look as I requested. Most importantly, my fiance was so pleased with the ring and we still gaze at it and enjoy it everyday.
I have met a few jewelers over the years but Keith Saxe has been one of the most knowledgeable and patient. Keith took the time to explain diamonds and their true value. After purchasing some pieces from a well known jewelry store in Los Angeles, Ca, I had a few questions that needed expertise answers. I felt Keith genuinely wanted to educate me so that I know what to ask, or look for while purchasing diamonds in the future. Keith is someone I will keep in my contact list, and will definitely not hesitate to pass on his name and business information to others that are looking for a great jeweler.
Keith Saxe is knowledgeable, professional, helpful and efficient. Not only did he provide me with an excellent deal on a loose diamond but he gave me keen advice and superb service throughout.
I could not recommend NYC Wholesale Diamonds more! I had the pleasure of purchasing an engagement ring from from NYC Wholesale Diamonds and it was the most informative, personal and trusting purchase I have ever made. If you are searching for the best value, quality and service with Jewelry, you have found the right place.
Where to begin…! Keith Saxe is by far the best jeweler I dealt with in my whole life. He was so honest and helpful for me when I decided to buy an engagement ring! He truly inspired confidence to me and took the time to explain all that is required when buying a diamond. I never had to wait for Keith to answer my many emails or phone calls — he was prompt and efficient!!! Thanks you so much for making this incredible ring for us Keith; it is truly stunning 🙂
I will definitely do business again with Keith in the near future and highly recommend to others to contact him for all your jewelry needs!
We shopped around for a while and had first hand experience with some seriously shady diamond sellers. And then we met Keith! He was super straight-forward, honest, and helpful. And he is much more knowledgeable about diamonds than anyone else we met. He made a stressful situation much easier. At the end of the process, we narrowed it down to two stones. One was much more expensive than the other one. Keith actually was actually recommending the less expensive of the two. That’s the kind of guy he is. You will feel like you have a guy on your side, and not a guy trying to cheat you. If only my fiance had followed his recommendation! I really can’t recommend him any higher.
If you buy a piece of jewelry from someone else you are crazy. To shop with Keith is part of the beautiful experience of purchasing a work of art for the right price. The quality is only high end, beyond compare. Keith has the experience, expertise and personality to make the experience amazing. You know the diamond is exceptional, your choice and a big pleasure. In the jewelry world find a trustworthy advocate, Keith, at NYC Wholesale Diamonds.
I couldnt imagine purchasing such an important item from anyone else besides Keith. As he can contest (and he did mention it to my fiance when he met her), I am the type to analyize and put significant thought into all my purchases, especially an engagement ring. Keith not only dealt with my strive to get the perfect diamond and the setting I had in mind, but he appreciated the thought I put into it. After about four visits, looking at probably a dozen stones, and comparing each one, he found one that I absolutely loved and that exceeded my requirements while not exceeding my price range.
To cut it short, if you’re in the market for an engagement ring, Keith is the only guy to deal with. Don’t event bother walking into the ground floor shops on 47th street, I only felt overwhelmed and disheartened by the quality of the customer service and the lack of loose diamond selection.
Keith Saxe is terrific!! He is very honest, personable, knowledgeable, and has great taste in jewelry. We had a very limited budget and Keith was able to make me a diamond engagement ring that is stunning and gorgeous!!! He helped us pick out a wonderful setting that truly enhances the stone and made it look like a much more expensive ring. I have gotten lots of complements on the ring . Keith was very patient in helping us pick out the diamond as well as the setting. He was very easy to work with, accommodating, kind, flexible and sensitive to our needs. It was such a pleasure working with Keith, and we really look forward to our next purchase at a future point. I highly recommend Keith for all of your jewelry needs , as he is truly wonderful.
Keith was recommended by a close friend – thankfully we took her advice because it made our engagement ring dreams come true! Working with Keith was a pleasure – his patience and expertise helped us get exactly what we were looking for. I wouldn’t go anywhere else after this experience – and I’m in love with my ring!!
Keith came highly recommended by several friends I served with during my time in the military. Being that I am a woman who was in search of an engagement ring for my partner, another woman, I was a little nervous and hesitant about the entire process to begin with. I was extremely comfortable with Keith. He was fantastic-he explained everything to me from beginning to end, was extremely responsive via email, text, phone, etc, throughout the process, and even took the time to explain the ins and outs of engagement rings and diamonds to my mother when she came with me to finalize the ring. I will continue to refer Keith, and will visit him again in the future for other purchases. Thanks Keith!
For three years I worked at a boutique jewelry store and became quite familiar with diamonds. Therefore my daughter’s soon to be fiancé enlisted my help in picking out her engagement ring. A fun yet stressful request. I was in FL and had to rely on the honesty and integrity of a diamond specialist. All FIVE stars aligned and I connected with Mr. Keith Saxe. Five Stars Knowledge Integrity Honesty Communication Promptness Attentiveness
The bottom line is the now bride to be is blown away by her perfect ring produced by Keith Saxe.
I came to Keith through some research on the Diamond District and the other two reviews here. Saying that he is the best is an understatement – very patient, very attentive and very educated in his craft and will not stop until the ring is exactly what I envisioned (once the vision came to me of course!). He and his lead designer are the best – hands down; I even had an opportunity to get on “Say Yes to the Dress” – I respectfully declined. But even more so than these skills and all of his accolades and connections is that he cares. Many jewelers out there (wholesale and retail) will look for that bottom line only but Keith knows that it’s the people, the stories, and the experience that makes this great step in a couple’s life very memorable and enjoyable and he understands what should be the thought behind this process. He gave me some key advice about the process toward the proposal. Therefore, my fianceé was blown away by the custom-designed ring and I can’t wait to bring her to him for the wedding bands. It was my great pleasure to have Keith help me get the one-of-a-kind ring to my one-of-a-kind lady. And my experience with Keith only adds to my legendary story of how I went about proposing to my future wife! Many thanks Keith!
I was looking for the perfect engagement ring for my Girlfriend and was refereed to Keith Saxe. When I called Keith he educated me on what I should be looking for and how I should approach buying it. He wasn’t even trying to make a sale just a friendly advice giver. I told Keith what I was looking for and he went to work! I got a call a week later telling me about a Diamond he thought would be perfect for me. After seeing 3 people before Keith I headed to NYC from LA. Not only was Keith’s diamond the most brilliant gorgeous and cut to perfection but working with him was an absolute pleasure. I knew right when I met him and saw the diamond it was a perfect match. Buying a diamond is more about the diamond you really need to trust the person you are buying from and had a instant connection with Keith. He even had a massive selection of settings that I choose from and a custom one he made that I selected. It was a true one stop shop. After the purchase Keith took such care of me and my needs that I couldn’t of felt better of my selection. Not only does my new fiancee have the most gorgeous ring she is absolutely in love with it. She gets so many complements on it and all my guy friends are already asking me for a referral to him. Keith beat every Jewelry I went to in price, and quality and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. This will be my go to for anything I purchase in the future. Thank you Keith for the best experience ever!
Keith Saxe is extremely knowledgeable within his field. He has an array of beautiful diamonds. Before we meet with him we were lost. He sat down with us and listen to what we were looking for and guided us into the best possible choice. He did not try to sell us, he wanted us to be happy. It was all about me and what would make me smile every time I looked at my engagement ring. The quality of diamonds he show us were just so beautiful. I am happy that I had him to help design and create the most amazing brilliant round solitaire white gold engagement ring. We were dazzled!!! From this experience I consider Keith not only the only jeweler I will ever go to again but a friend. He helped my dreams come true. I would recommend him to anyone who will listen.
I was hesitant to buy my diamond engagement ring in the diamond district. A friend referred Keith Saxe and his company, NYC Wholesale Diamonds, so I went in to meet him. I found his knowledge of diamonds and the workings of the jewelry industry to be incredible. He guided me to buy the best certified diamond and perfect ring that my fiancee went crazy for. It was a painless experience, and I have already referred two co-workers. One recently bought a sapphire bracelet, and was equally impressed with his experience. I definitely recommend Keith if you’re looking for a trustworthy and connected guy when in the market for jewelry.
This is the first time I can recollect writing a Google Review. Keith is worth it. 
I couldn't have had a better experience finding the perfect engagement ring with Keith from NYC Wholesale Diamonds.
If you are looking for a jeweler, stop your search and reach out to Keith!
Keith never disappoints! 
Keith was a very experienced and professional jeweler that showed he cared about creating the perfect engagement ring! 
Keith at NYC Wholesale Diamonds was amazing to work with! 
Keith is without a doubt the right person to go to if you are looking to purchase fine jewelry. 
We used Keith for an engagement ring, wedding bands & matching earrings & I am obsessed. 
Keith was absolutely outstanding to work with. 
Keith was excellent in all aspects of the purchasing process. 
This is the absolute best place to get your engagement ring in NYC.
Keith made the process of finding the perfect engagement ring for my fiancée easy and stress free. 
Keith is amazing! He is so experienced with diamonds and really helped me pick out the perfect one for my now fiancee. Aside from selling great diamonds at great prices, he also helped me prep for the big moment and gave so many excellent tips. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for not only the best diamond at the best price, but the best service.
I visited NYC/NJ retailers and other diamond district dealers and none compared to what Keith offers. Not only was I most impressed by his diamonds, but I was not pressured to buy on the spot. He provides a full lesson on purchasing diamonds and what you need to know and takes the stress out of purchasing an engagement ring. Keith helped make it an enjoyable experience.
Keith and the team went above and beyond. Responsive, professional, accommodating, and delivered a beautiful diamond and ring. He’s been used by the family for decades and delivered once again, never disappoints. 
After an unsuccessful trip to our premier local jeweler in Annapolis, my fiancé and I took a trip to New York for our birthdays and we decided to take a trip to the diamond district. While doing research beforehand, I quite literally googled “wholesale diamonds in NYC” and Keith’s aptly titled business popped up. I couldn’t believe his reviews! When I looked into his website further I realized that I had seen his TikTok’s before and I felt like I already knew him! I made an appointment for our last day in the city and it couldn’t have gone more perfectly. My fiancé had been a little hesitant at our previous ring appts due to large price tags attached to less than impressive stones. Keith showed us 3 stone options, the final being absolutely perfect and even better—within our budget! I had told him my specifications for the stone and setting and he more than exceeded them!
I could not have envisioned an easier or more successful experience. Keith walked me through everything I needed to know, and then some. He showed me rings/diamonds at multiple price points and never made me feel pressured to spend more than I felt comfortable. The ring is beyond breathtaking and fills me and my fiancé with joy every time we look down at her hand.
Keith is truly a "gem!"
No time to read reviews? Trust Keith. You're in good hands.
I cannot speak highly enough of my experience dealing with Keith. From the moment I first contacted him, Keith went out of his way to guide me through the entire diamond buying process, educating me on what to look out for and how to approach the whole process. 
Keith is the absolute best man I've worked with in this industry. I am from Toronto Ontario and I was not having much luck with any of the jewelers here. I had seen Keith through his TikTok videos and initially never thought of going to see him because he was so far away, however things changed when my Fiancé and I decided to have a quick vacation to NYC for 4 days. 
NYC Wholesale Diamonds was an amazing experience throughout the entire ring buying process! 
This is waaayyy overdue but I just had to come back here and write this review. If you are searching for the best place to get an engagement ring please continue to read.
Keith was amazing. 
Whatever you’ve read about Keith and team is an understatement. Words do not articulate well enough the level of care and professionalism that he demonstrates. 
You are in great hands when working with Keith. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in everything he explained to my husband and I when we purchased our wedding bands. He has a beautiful collection and helped us select the wedding bands that were perfect for us. Will definitely be going back to Keith for any other future jewelry purchases! 
Keith is amazing!! I first met Keith when my brother-in-law and I went to pick out a ring for my sister. Keith was recommended to my brother-in-law by a family friend. Keith is so kind and knowledgeable and walks you through the process of what you should look for in a jeweler. He is the best in the business, and there is no need to go anywhere else. My brother-in-law and I were both so impressed leaving his office.
At the time, I wasn't dating anyone, but Keith told me I could email him my dream ring, and he would keep it on file. I thought that was funny but why not! I emailed him pictures and details of my ring and hoped that my future fiancé would go to Keith one day. I honestly didn't think he would keep an email sent three years ago, but he did!
Thanks to Keith and NYC Wholesale Diamonds the process of buying an engagement ring was simple, exciting and a lot of fun!
I didn't know what to expect when I met Keith. I read all of the 5 star reviews and honestly was a bit skeptical when I called him. How can someone have so many amazing reviews, right? 
I was looking for a special gift for my wife and Keith was recommended to me by a very good friend. I am so thankful that my friend sent me to Keith!
Keith Saxe.... how do I even begin to describe Keith Saxe?
I was fortunate enough to be referred to Keith at NYC Wholesale Diamonds to guide me in finding my girlfriend of many years the perfect diamond ring to symbolize our love. Keith was kind, patient, fully competent and understood exactly what I was looking for. He made what can be a very intimidating process very easy for me. My fiance absolutely loves her ring. Keith provides a quality of service that has made me a customer for life. Can't thank him enough.
Working with Keith to find the perfect engagement ring made a genuinely intimidating process much more relaxed. Keith is a true class act. He was extremely patient throughout the process. My fiance has not stopped hearing how beautiful the ring is. I would highly recommend Keith to all!
Working with Keith Saxe is truly a first class experience the entire time! 
I cannot put into words the gratitude and appreciation I have for Keith in this review because it will fall short of doing any justice to my experience. Beyond the fact that Keith is a respected and renowned expert the field of diamonds, his approach to provide guidance during an otherwise overwhelming process was the most important thing to me. 
My journey for finding the perfect diamond began a little over a year ago. My sweet husband wanted to upgrade my wedding ring and let me be in 100% control of the choosing process to ensure I get exactly what my heart desired. I knew I wanted to travel to NYC and visit the Diamond District but that street can be pretty overwhelming if you're just walking in to look and not knowing if the person you're speaking to is one to trust with such a very important, valuable purchase. I decided to extensively research online in hopes of finding the right match and that's when I came across Keith Saxe and his phenomenal reviews. Upon reading what many people had to say, I felt compelled to contact him and he did not disappoint! He was very attentive in listening to what exactly I was looking for and was very informative and genuinely interested in helping me obtain my goal.
Please read this entire review.
I had the good fortune of being referred to Keith by a family member, and I knew the minute I met him that when the time came I would buy from NYC Wholesale. My now fiancee and I went in for our initial appointment together and we felt right at home (kind of like family!) and nothing changed in my subsequent visits to complete the process. It's such an important moment in your life that nerves are inevitable, but Keith did such an excellent job of making everything clear, comfortable and easy. I never felt at any point that I was getting anything but the best deal within my budget range - and of course the perfect ring!
Keith is absolutely amazing! He is everything you need when searching for the perfect engagement ring. I found him through good reviews online but was hesitant since I didn't know anyone that had used him. My first time meeting with him was great! He showed me the exact diamonds I was looking for and educated me along the way. He is not the pushy salesman you picture when walking through the diamond district of NYC. He is professional and trustworthy, exactly what you need when searching for an engagement ring. He truly cared about making both me and my fiancé happy. The process was simple, after meeting for the diamond I went back to seal the deal and customize the band. It was ready shortly after and came out perfect. The diamond is beyond beautiful and the custom setting came out better than I could have imagined! My fiancé absolutely loves the ring and I could not be happier with my experience. We will definitely be going back for our wedding bands and any future diamond purchases! I highly recommend going to Keith for an engagement ring or diamonds in general.
I want to thank Keith for the best diamond engagement ring ever!!! We were in NYC for business. I had no intentions of buying a ring. After seeing an associate's gorgeous ring, I asked where she found it. She got me in touch with Keith and I saw him the next day. Keith explained all of the aspects of the perfect Diamond and setting for my girl friend. Of course Keith had the perfect diamond for me to inspect. After the deal was set he asked me when the Big day was. Merinda's birthday!!! August 15. Keith gave me some great advice and during our talk we came up with an even better idea. Our house is in Totality of the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse. Do it then!!! Thank you, Keith you are a Genius!!! Your interest in me and our day made it better than could have been imagined. You and NYCWD are the Best.
My husband and I purchased my engagement ring and our wedding bands from Keith at NYC Wholesale Diamonds and highly recommend him. When we first started looking at rings, several family friends had recommended their jewelers in the NYC area, so when we happened to be there for a few days for work, we met with three or four different wholesale jewelers. (We lived in D.C. at the time). Keith was our first appointment and he took the time to explain the 4C's to me and my husband and didn't put any pressure on us to purchase from him. After a few other less than stellar encounters that day, we returned to Keith. When we decided that the diamond he'd shown us was a little outside our budget, Keith had an even prettier stone that was within our price range overnighted from his showroom in L.A. Keith did a perfect job creating my dream engagement ring at a price that we could reasonably afford without compromising quality at all. And our wedding bands are beautiful, too. We both get lots of compliments. We'll definitely return to Keith for all our jewelry needs - anniversaries, push presents, you name it! Thanks, Keith!
Thank you very much, NYCWD, for helping me purchase my engagement ring. It went off without a hitch, and your sage advice aided me greatly! Thanks again!
I’m not a frequent reviewer – but I also don’t frequently shop for an engagement ring. A walk down 47th street is all you need – before you realize you have to look for a referral, someone you can trust. Heard only good things about Keith Saxe and am happy to say the recommendations were spot on! So easy to work with, not pushy at all and most of all has a vibe and demeanor that just makes you feel comfortable, and trusting. Listened to what I was looking for, called me only when he found it – and delivered the perfect ring – on time and fairly priced – along with all appraisal certificates and help with insurance. Keith even managed to find a low profile “stealthy” ring box so the proposal could be a total surprise Best of all – she said YES and totally loves the ring. Highly recommend without reservation.
The entire ring selecting/buying process couldn’t have gone smoother. Thank you sooo much for making this happen!! My fiance absolutely loves the ring and everyone around us adores it. You’ve made me look brilliant!! Thanks again, and I will surely share your business with everyone I know.
I started working with Keith after my brother got engaged… He couldn’t stop raving about how great his experience was and how easy Keith made the process. My brother nailed it and now I can’t/won’t stop raving about Keith and his amazing establishment. I’m not a very good decision maker and ask a boat load of questions before I make any kind of purchase… Keith never failed to respond to any of my requests and went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information I needed. He never applied any pressure and was extremely patient with me as we worked through the ring buying process (which he lays out in incredible detail!). It’s important to mention that we worked through this whole process via email and phone calls as I live in Houston, TX. I never had to visit the store and felt extremely comfortable because Keith is the consummate professional!! The end result is the amazing ring pictured below and the love of my life saying “Yes!”. Thanks again, Keith!
“Walking down 47th Street can be very intimidating. Everyone is trying to sell you something. So when I walked in to Keith’s office I was a little nervous. Those nerves soon went away and I was confident that he wasn’t just trying to make a quick sale on me. He took his time to go through the process and showed me exactly what I was buying. Never once did he try to convince me to go over my budget or make me commit to anything without having proper time to think it over. In the end, I walked away with an absolutely stunning ring at an incredible price. My fiance and I can’t thank Keith enough, and I would absolutely recommend NYC Wholesale Diamonds to anyone in the market for a ring.”
Kieth,
It has been an honor to serve our treasured clients for 30 years here in New York's Diamond District!
