- My fiancee's rings that we designed with Jay came back from ""his people in New York"" a 3/4 size too small. Also, it wasn't exactly what he said it would be but said that he t...

Highly Recommended! 8/17/2007

Go to Jay for custom design & amazing craftmanship 7/30/2007

Jay recently made a new ring for me in celebration of my 20th wedding anniversary. It is stunning! It's hard to convey in just a few words what a great experience this was. After I found Jay on citysearch, my husband and I drove to Nashville for a romantic ""meet the jeweler"" weekend trip. Jay's kind and friendly personality immediately put us at ease and his body of work spoke for itself. A photographer just happened to be in the office shooting finished pieces the day we were there. Jay's artistic ability and craftsmanship was evident in each piece we viewed. In my case, Jay looked at my previous ring and a picture of an antique ring I emailed to him and came up with an entirely new design that suits me perfectly. Just today a friend commented that ""he really captured your personality."" I don't know how he did it but.... wow did he ever! The quality of the diamonds and the attention to detail in the platinum setting are amazing. I have been wearing my ring for about a week now and it becomes more beautiful to me every day. I would sincerely recommend Jay to anyone searching for quality custom jewelry. Pros: Expertise, kindness, Attention to detail Cons: Slight delivery delay - but worth the wait! more

Best in the business 7/20/2007

I had little idea where to begin in finding the perfect ring for my girlfriend. My lack of knowledge was as startling as Jay's ability to convey his vast experience in an easy-going, educational manner. After my first visit, I knew that he was to be my jeweler, not only for this purchase but for any future purchases I am to make. I can happily report that we found the exact ring I was looking for and everyone tells my now fiancee that it is the perfect ring - it is ""her."" You would be cheating yourself to purchase jewelry anywhere else. more

Jay made everything so easy 7/14/2007

I recently bought an engagement ring from Jay. From the first time I stepped in his office, I knew I could trust him, and that's important when you're making such a big purchase. He was very informative, and he taught me a lot about diamonds before we even started talking about buying anything. I could tell that he was really excited to help me, and he was so enthusiastic to be a part of an important part of my life. He even personally called me several times to keep me up to date. In a very short amount of time, I had a beautiful diamond in a fantastic setting, and my fiance (better not call her girlfriend anymore) loves it. Everybody thinks that my mom or somebody must have helped me, but it was really all Jay. He got me a great deal, and I can't thank him enough. After we got engaged, he even brought me and my fiance back to his office to show us how to care for the diamond. We will definitely be purchasing our wedding bands from him as well. Pros: Jay knows everything about diamonds. Cons: Green Hills traffic can be insane during the middle of the day. more

Great Engagement Ring Experience 7/8/2007

I was referred to Jay Yontef by a friend, and I could not have been happier with my experience. I expected that his work would be professional and of the highest quality, and it was. I was also pleasantly suprised with the way he educated me on the engagement ring process before I made any decisions. With Jay's help, I felt like I made an informed decision. Not only did he help me find an exceptional diamond and ring, but he also helped to make sure it was a perfect match for my fiancee. With Jay's help, the engagement ring process was a part of the best overall decision I have made in my life! more

forever grateful 7/2/2007

when i came to Jay with my ideas and my limited budget, he said to me with a smile, ""we can do this."" from that point on i knew that the ring that was going to represent my love for my fiance was in good hands. it was a journey getting this whole project sorted out, but Jay was with me every step of the way and treated me like he had known me for years. i cannot count the times or the people that have looked at this ring and couldn't turn away. every time that she looks at it she gets a HUGE smile on her face. i couldn't have asked for a more perfect ring. Jay's flexability and passion for his work truely blew me away. i cannot express my gratitude and joy that i feel every single day for making this whole experience a great memory. Jay will leave you feeling more than satisfied guaranteed. Pros: Quality, Precision, Flexable, Passionate, Kind more

She's worth the best. 6/12/2007

My girlfriend and I had been together for nearly seven years. I had watched as she patiently waited while many of her friends and family got engaged and married. Needless to say, I wanted her moment to be beyond compare, and it would take the perfect ring to accomplish that. Several years earlier she had sent me a picture of unique antique replica ring. I had begun to give up hope of finding such a ring since most stores carried the same theme and variation on just a handful of designs. That is until I found Jay. Pros: Personal attention (appointment only), Meets your needs and bugdet, Highest level of quality more

Jay knows engagement rings! 5/30/2007

I came to Jay in March of 07 with a modest budget and an idea of what I wanted and he was able to work within my budget with outstanding results. From the outset he was honest and professional about the quality of diamonds and how to do my engagement ring right. Being a certified gemologist, he was highly knowledgable about the different elements of diamonds, and was able to provide demonstrations and visual aids to illustrate his points. It was very helpful. Pros: Professionalism, Honesty, Craftsmanship, Skills more

Fantastic Custom Made Jewelry 5/28/2007

J. made the exact wedding band and engagement ring that we wanted and the rings were stunning! I had gone to two previous jewelers in another city; the first did not come close to creating the engagement ring that I had asked for, while the second got the engagement ring sort of right but the wedding band did not fit to it, even though that was what I had asked for. Two weeks before the wedding, I came to J. and he delivered exactly what we wanted and had it ready in time for the wedding too! I am going back to J. for all my future custom made jewelry. Pros: Worked with us to design and build exactly what we wanted Cons: I did not find him sooner more

Excellence! 5/9/2007

I inherited my grandmother's engagement ring when she passed away in the mid 90's. It was an already stunning piece of jewelery and looked forward to giving to that special someone when the timing was right. Well, that moment came this past November when I proposed to my now fiance. She absolutely loved the ring and cherishes the fact that it was in my family. In discussing the ring however, we both decided that it needed to be reset and modernized a little bit, largely due to durability concerns...not to mention that she is not much of a gold person and prefers platinum. more

Best Jeweler 4/18/2007

I had been looking for a pale pink sapphire ring for a couple of months and knew exactly what I wanted. I had been to several well known jewelry places in town and received the run-around and was told that my ring was a very difficult request. Then I remembered Jay Yontef.... I wish I had gone to him first! Jay knew exactly what I wanted when I started to describe the ring to him. When I mentioned a PALE pink sapphire to go in the middle, he said ""no problem"", ""I can have a couple for you to look at in a couple days."" A COUPLE DAYS! He made it happen. My ring is exactly what I wanted and more! I can't stop looking at my hand and have received serveral compliments on it. From now on, it's only Jay! Thanks Jay! more

Best Jeweler in Town 4/5/2007

I found J on the internet, and am very pleased. Once I met him, I knew that getting my ring from him was the right decision. He spends a lot of time educating his customers about diamonds and makes the purchase easy. I got a great ring that my fiance loves. J really went out of his way to get me the ring quickly so that I could propose exactly when I wanted to. And after I gave her the ring, he has been very accomadating to make sure everything is perfect. No complaints at all. I would highly recommend his services. more

If you want the best, then go to the best... 4/1/2007

I entered Jay's office as a complete novice of diamonds and quickly found myself being educated before we ever discussed a possible sale. My ""Diamonds 101"" course with Jay insured that I knew something about diamonds and the makings of a quality diamond. Jay's approach was diametrically opposed to the sales routine I received at the monster jewelers. more

Jay makes buying attractive jewerly easy! And he offers very fair prices!! 3/12/2007

To celebrate my 2-year anniversary with my girlfriend, I wanted to buy her a ring and give it to her during a vacation at DisneyWorld. I read all of the positive reviews on-line and figured I would call Jay. He was so easy to work with, available to answer questions, provided helpful information and background about the types of gem I was interested in, spent time trying to find just the right thing and did so within a prescribed budget. The experience was easy and painless, and we found a fantastic ring with diamonds and sapphires (our birthstones). My girlfriend absolutely loves the ring! We are going to get engaged this summer and I am contacting Jay again to see what we can find for that special moment. Jay is a true ""gem!"" (Sorry if that has been used before). Pros: Customer Service, Availability, Listening skills, Creativity in finding solutions more

Great experience 2/19/2007

Jay is a friendly, very knowledgeable person who makes the whole experience of buying a diamond ring easy and fun. He takes the time to make sure you know exactly what to look for in a quality stone and then helps you through every step of the process. The ring he made is beautiful and my fiance loves it. Pros: Highly knowledgeable, takes stress out of the process more

Best Jeweler, hands down! Updated with fiancee comments 2/19/2007

In shopping for an engagement ring, I went to every place possible in Nashville. After finding J. on citysearch, and deciding to give him a chance, I was pleasantly surprised. He took the time to explain what to look for in a good diamond, and was no-nonsense and upfront about the cost, which was very competitive. Overall his honesty and educational approach won me over. I will be taking my new fiancee back to meet him and to have him design the wedding band. I would highly recommend at the very least giving him a call if you are looking for jewelry of any kind. Pros: Honest, No Sales pitch, No pressure Cons: None whatsoever more

Best Custom Jewelry Designer 1/22/2007

I order a custom designed engagement ring from J. Yontef which arrived back in December. The ring was so perfect that I nearly cried when I saw it. She did cry when I asked her. She loved the ring so much that she removed all the other jewelry from her hands. more

Far exceeded expectations 1/17/2007

Admittedly, I was a little skeptical after reading all the reviews and then seeing Jay's very small office. Don't be. Mr. Yontef is passionate about his trade and is a great source of information. There was absolutely no pressure and he encourages you to make a smart decision in all aspects of your choice. I knew nothing about diamonds and he spent about an hour discussing and drawing diagrams about colors, clarity, as well as the importance of the correct cuts and angles requires for a great stone. I went to five jewelers and he was the most helpful and knowlegdable, and it wasn't close. Pros: Service, Knowledge, Quality, and Price more

For quality, see Jay 1/13/2007

I visited several brick and mortar stores and scoured the web, but none of the ring settings I saw impressed me, except for one. However, I couldn't buy the setting separately from the stone, and since the store's diamonds are so overpriced, I would have had to make a sacrifice in the size and quality of the diamond. That's when I realized I needed to have a jeweler custom make the ring, and I found Jay. He seemed very excited about creating the ring. I also got the diamond through Jay too. He gives a very thorough presentation to educate you about diamonds before you make your decision. And he will make sure that you get a quality stone. That's his job. All in all, Jay is someone you can trust to get you a high quality diamond. more

J. Yontef is excellent 12/21/2006

My wife and I have worked with J on a diamond heart shaped pendant. He initially set the stone we had picked out in a beautiful setting and at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately two years later my wife lost the necklace. That is when J helped us find a similarly excellent stone that our insurance purchased as a replacement. Throughout our dealings J has always been helpful, honest and professional. I highly recommend J Yontef. Pros: Excellent service, price and integrity Cons: None except no large show room--is that really a con? more
