Sapphires a Plenty

I’m always amazed at how quickly celebrity news can instantly start a fire. Well, not in the literal sense.

Last week, London announced that Prince William’s bride-to-be, Kate Middleton, will be sporting Lady Di’s blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring. It’s an 18 carat beauty of a ring and for sure, many beautiful customers of ours would have loved to have been given such an incredible gift.

I’d say, this is the best time of the year to be thinking about a sapphire ring, but who am I when Kate can share the news so much more attractively.

Since the news broke, customers are asking me more and more about sapphires. I’m more than happy to share. They come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes and we feature several in the Photo Gallery.

So, if you’re in the dog house for whatever reason, a sapphire ring surrounded by diamonds might just be what the doctor ordered.

I want to extend a very warm “Thank you!” for de-stressing the ring purchasing process. I’ve read so many horror stories about being ripped off, talked to many friends about just how little power one has as a consumer in that market, and it was so nice to work with someone I felt I could trust.

I am happy to report that my new fiancée loved the ring and that the proposal went perfectly. It accidentally co-aligned with a massive blizzard, but in truth, it made for a magical occasion.

Thanks for everything!
Gary
There is nobody like Gary at Cohen Bros Jewelry. Cohen Bros has been our family Jeweler for over 60 years! My grandmother, my mother and now myself have all had the honor of wearing a one of a kind engagement ring made by Cohen Bros Jewelry. Trust and honesty are two very important qualities in a jeweler and Gary Cohen is exactly that. Look no further if you are in the market for an engagement ring, wedding band, a one of a kind piece and more!!

Gary is a real mensch. He's helped me out with several pieces and he's a real pleasure to deal with. If you've got some time he has some great stories as well. If you're in the position where you've got to buy jewelry, you need to look no further than Cohen Brothers Jewelry.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Gary Cohen of Cohen Brothers Jewelry. He is incredibly nice, down to Earth and genuinely sincere. I met Gary at an event and immediately liked him so much so that I slipped my then-boyfriend his card in the event that a ring might be coming. I met with Gary privately to give him a little info about styles I liked so he would be prepared but he never put any pressure on me to get my boyfriend in the store. In fact, I never even knew they met until my boyfriend popped the question! My boyfriend wanted to surprise me with an out of town proposal and to be sure that I didn't find the ring in a suitcase, Gary FedExed it my boyfriend while we were out of town and I was none the wiser. The ring is gorgeous and I know that Gary went above and beyond to work within the budget given him and give me an amazing piece of jewelry. We ended up getting our wedding bands through a family friend and it came back way too loose when I picked it up. I brought it to Gary and he had it resized within two days - the week of my wedding! I could write paragraphs singing Gary's praises but hopefully you can tell that I'm a raving fan. I would refer Gary to anyone regardless of where you live. I've sung his praises to all of my friends and even though I recently moved out of NYC, I will continue to recommend him. He works with customers all over the States and it's no wonder that most of his business is word of mouth and loyal return customers. Go to Gary. He makes spending money a whole lot of fun. :-)

“Yesterday was [our] anniversary. I gave her the bracelet. She was very surprised and, more importantly, delighted. You’re a hero! Thanks a lot.”

I am so honored that my wedding jewelry came from Cohen Brothers Jewelry. My rings are gorgeous and I feel like I’m contributing to a family tradition since this business has been family owned for over forty years. The owner Gary has always given me fair prices and in no way have I ever felt pressured. This is an anomaly in the diamond district. You get a boutique experience, but better. My brother-in-law recently went to Gary for a diamond bracelet. It is exquisite and now Cohen Brothers is a part of OUR family tradition!

Our most important purchase with you was a great experience. I am so delighted with my custom designed diamond engagement ring, it gives me pleasure every time I look at it, and I receive compliments on it all the time. But it would not have come into being from my sketches without your help to find the perfect diamond and putting me together with the fine jeweler who made my setting. It was a real team effort!

We thank you,
Joan
I have been very pleased and surprised when opening a package from Cohen Bros. Jewelry. The quality and workmanship of your jewelry is top of the line, and I love the sparkle and glow of your diamonds, especially in the sunlight. It is a delight to do business with you and the personal trust you give when I order a jewelry item, and just making sure I am completely satisfied. In this day and age it means so much to be able to trust the Company you do business with and especially, the extra added personal touch you give.

My experiences with Cohen Brothers has been nothing but great! Mr. Cohen has always extended wonderful customer service to me and to my friends that I have recommended to him. Even if I am calling him just for information, he never makes me feel like I am “bothering” him or he is too busy to answer any questions that I may have for him. I will continue to refer friends to him and I will always be a Cohen Brothers customer.
Ginger
I am in Austin, Texas, and at first hesitated to call a jeweler in NYC to purchase an engagement ring, but I got great recommendations from a couple of friends who had bought from Cohen Bros. Jewelry. Gary was fantastic to work with, and I could not be more pleased with my ring! I highly recommend working with him, no matter where you live!
Pamela
My family and I have been going to Cohen Brothers for many years. I have purchased necklaces, bracelets and rings there – first from Ed and now Gary. Recently, my husband bought a diamond anniversary band for me for our 20th from Gary. I remember the day Gary asked me to come to his store in the Diamond district and showed me the stones he had picked out for my ring. I had told Gary that I did not want anything “over the top” because I like to wear my jewelry every day on the subway and the streets of New York. I never want to feel like I have to put my hands in my pockets when I am out in public. The stones were perfect – size, color and clarity – and the platinum setting was understated and elegant.

It was exactly what I wanted!

To Gary and family — thanks for being “my friend in the jewelry business.”
Steve
I feel as though I’ve looked at a thousand engagement rings. It gave me a great sense of what I wanted to create to make the ring as special as the woman I wanted to share the rest of my life with. Gary made sure it was perfect. He listened, suggested, and handled every detail with great expertise.
Margaret
The ring safely arrived at Paul’s office today. He brought the ring home and placed it on my hand with great and appropriate fan fare. The diamond is perfect. You and your jeweler did a magnificent job of setting the diamond into my original ring. Frankly, the diamond is gorgeous and just as I had hoped. I could not be happier.

Again, thank you for your sage advice and considerable attention. I will gladly provide the husbands of my friends your contact information!
Dan
What I like about Gary is his jewelry creativity. He offers up some great suggestions whether it be a ring design, necklace design or whatever piece you are looking for. He helps young people work through the intricacies of purchasing diamond engagement rings. He will help you get what you want and stay within your budget. He helped my son create the perfect diamond engagement ring…..his bride was ecstatic.

He’s the kind of jeweler that you, your son and his son would want to do business with.

I've been going to BCohen Bros. Jewelry Inc. for two years and over that time period I've Purchased a diamond ring and a new watch. When I bought those two items everyone I talked to was very knowledgeable of their selection and very helpful when it came time to decide what to get. these jewelers really know wahat they are doing!
Ozzie T.
I was amazed at the quality of Cohen Bros. Jewelry Inc. We were treated like royalty.I've gotten rings, earrings, bracelets and a few other pieces of jewelry from Cohen Bros. Jewelry Inc. and I couldn't be happier with not only the qualiy of the jewelry,
Kelly and Graig
