Buying a Loose Diamond Near Brooklyn
A loose diamond is a diamond bought on its own, before it is set. Buying this way lets you choose the exact stone first and then decide on the ring, pendant or earrings around it. AJ's Jewelry is on Myrtle Ave in Ridgewood, just past the Bushwick border. We find natural and lab grown diamonds to your shape, size and budget, and set them in our own shop.
How Choosing a Diamond Works Here
Tell us the shape you like, a carat range and what you want to spend. We bring you diamonds that fit, each with its grading report. Our GIA Diamond Grading Graduate goes through cut, color, clarity and carat weight with you in plain language, and points out what a report cannot tell you, such as how lively a stone looks face up.
Popular shapes include round, oval, cushion, princess, emerald, marquise, pear and radiant. If you want to read up before you visit, start with our diamond and gemstone buying guide.
Natural or Lab Grown?
Both are real diamonds. A lab grown diamond usually lets you choose a larger stone for the same budget, while a natural diamond is the traditional choice. We sell both and have no stake in which you pick. Our lab grown guide and our page on certified lab grown diamonds explain grading reports in more detail.
Once you have chosen a stone, we set it. Design the ring in our custom ring builder, look through the custom rings we have made, or bring a diamond you already own for diamond setting. Most custom pieces take at least two weeks after design approval.
