Why shoppers choose Bijoux-NYC Direct - transparency, NYC craftsmanship, and quality construction

Why shoppers choose Bijoux-NYC Direct

  • Clear specs, honest media. We show measurements, real photos, and video when available—so your eyes make the final call.
  • Bench-finished in NYC. Our partners on 47th Street handle sizing, pavé, and final polish. It’s the standard we grew up on.
  • Made to be worn. We favor balanced proportions and solid construction over trends you’ll regret next season.

Browse our most-asked categories: diamonds, stud earrings, and rings. Policies live here: returns & authenticity.

Our certification policy (IGI & AGS first)

Paperwork should make buying easier, not harder. Our default is simple:

  • Certified diamonds (IGI or AGS): Most center stones, solitaires, and studs are offered with IGI or AGS grading. Look for the report number on the product page.
  • Curated uncertified diamonds: When a stone looks fantastic but isn’t papered, we’ll say so—and price it accordingly. If you’d like, we can submit it for IGI or AGS grading before shipment.
  • GIA by request: Limited availability; ask on a specific SKU if that’s your preference.

What makes a design timeless

Trends come and go. These never do:

  • Proportions that flatter. Stones that sit low enough to live in, prongs that protect without hiding the light.
  • Craftsmanship you can feel. Clean pavé, tight symmetry, smooth interior edges, secure clasps.
  • Details with purpose. Milgrain, engraving, or filigree that adds character—not clutter.

Diamond basics in plain English

  • Cut = sparkle. If you love fire and “glitter,” prioritize cut first.
  • Color = tone. Near-colorless looks bright in white metals; warm tones glow in yellow gold.
  • Clarity = inclusions. If it looks clean to your eye, it’s clean enough for daily life.
  • Carat = weight. Your eye sees millimeters, not numbers—compare measurements.

Quick tip: for a classic look on a round solitaire, a balanced split like 70% of budget to the stone, 30% to the setting usually lands beautifully.

Beyond diamonds: colored gems

  • Sapphires in every color except red—durable, elegant, easy to love.
  • Emeralds with that lush, garden-green—choose protective settings.
  • Rubies for rich, saturated red that reads as power.
  • Tanzanite—rare violet-blue, best for occasion wear.
  • Pearls—nothing softer or more timeless for bridal and beyond.

Beyond diamonds: colored gems including sapphires, emeralds, rubies, tanzanite, and pearls

Price & value—where the money goes

  • Certification choice. IGI/AGS reports add cost but protect value and make comparisons fair.
  • Cut quality. Better cut = more light = looks larger for the size.
  • Metal & build. Platinum/18k weigh more and last longer; solid construction costs more, saves headaches.
  • Maker’s hand. Crisp pavé, clean polish, and symmetry are worth paying for—you’ll see them every day.

Easy care that keeps the sparkle

  • Warm water + mild soap + soft brush, then pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
  • Store pieces separately to avoid scratches and tangles.
  • Pause wear if prongs snag or a clasp loosens; we’ll help. Contact support.
  • Annual checkups catch issues before they turn into repairs.
