About Us
Expertise and Integrity
Jay Yontef began selling fine jewelry in South Orange, NJ, and was taught by a master bench jeweler who had retired from Van Cleef and Arpels. Jay is among the few to study in residence at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), class of 1973.
Jay was employed by Holland's largest jeweler to travel internationally as a gem buyer and retail manager based in Aruba. He worked in Beverly Hills, CA, counting Hollywood celebrities among his clientele before opening his own business. Jay is a preferred insurance replacement specialist and provides training and consultation to insurance adjusters, underwriters and agents. He has appeared as a jewelry expert on talk radio and local TV news.
Our innovative business is possible only through many years of gemological and jewelry industry expertise so you receive world-class quality at the best value.
Jewelry is accepted for final delivery or repair only after close inspection and characteristics shown and/or described to you, often under a microscope, for identification, safety and quality.
Appraisals performed by appointment in your presence.
GIA graded diamonds preferred, where applicable.
We never sell Conflict Diamonds, encourage eco-conscious Canadian diamonds and maintain strict compliance with the Patriot Act.
