Winona is THE SoHo gem. I stumbled into this store by accident after having a few bad experiences with other jewelers - I didn’t have an appointment and Winona made time for me anyway. She is so warm and genuine and knowledgeable about what she does. She immediately started reaching out to her sources to find me the diamond I’ve been looking for and it was spot on. The prices were also surprisingly the most fair of anywhere else I looked. I was expecting for a jewelry shop in SoHo to be much more expensive. We got engaged in June and I still can’t stop staring at my beautiful ring. The setting is also exactly as I designed it, simple and elegant. Thank you forever to Winona and everyone at SoHo Gem ❤️
We had a great experience working with Marina for an engagement ring. She only made recommendations based on what we were looking for, and not what could be pricier. The turnaround time was fast, and she was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process. I highly recommend working with her!
Some of the rudest people I have ever encountered work in this store, and they do not communicate well with one another. Buy your diamonds elsewhere.

Hi Joanna. I am sorry that you had a negative experience at our shop. It would be very helpful to understand exactly what happened and which day you came in. We pride ourselves on our customer service and have always gone above and beyond to take care of everyone who walks in to the best of our ability. Looking forward to your response and understanding of what happened that day. All the best, Irina Ferry - owner
We had the best experience with SohoGem, it was so easy to book an appointment. We worked with Marina who was so kind and knowledgeable which made us confident in our decision to work with SohoGem on our engagement and wedding band. Marina listened to all of our ideas and helped us build our dream rings. She was also so fun and is part of our engagement story now, we adore her.
Highly recommend working with Marina at SohoGem if you are looking to build a unique engagement ring and wedding band set!
Exceptional Service & Stunning Craftsmanship
After losing our original engagement ring, we were devastated—but SoHo Gem turned that heartbreak into something truly special. Their team was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire process seamless. They helped us create a magnificent new ring with incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. What could have been stressful became an enjoyable and memorable experience. If you’re looking for expert jewelers who truly care, SoHo Gem is the place to go. Highly recommend!
From start to finish we had a seamless experience! Gabrielle was a pleasure to work with and gave us the best advice for what we were looking for. They even offered a free resizing for my engagement ring. I highly recommend shopping here if you are looking for an engagement ring or any designer jewelry in the future!
Could not be more pleased with my experience here. Marina is an absolute expert. The collection is curated, high quality and well priced. My fiance and I got my engagement ring and both of our wedding bands here. Beyond wedding jewelry, they also have stunning colored gem jewelry collections. I never once felt like I was being pressured and they were very honest about what looked best on me, which I so appreciated!
I found this boutique through Google and am so glad that I did. Few jewelers will work with moonstone and opal, but Winona and the jeweler were experts in these stones. I've never learned so much about a stone before Winona explained the intricacies via an extremely helpful email during an inquiry stage. I took my wedding band (originally purchased from Etsy with moonstones and opals) to get the moonstones replaced with lab grown diamonds, because most of the moonstones had fallen out. Winona and colleagues were able to rework my ring by replacing the remaining moonstones with the marquise diamonds and filling in the empty settings with marquise diamonds. The process took less than three weeks and cost way less than I expected. I am extremely pleased and hope to work with them again in the future.

We are so glad that you are happy with your ring. Hope to see you soon and thank you for the review!
Soho Gem is the best! I was helped by Marina, and she made the entire ring shopping experience so great. Marina made sure I had the exact engagement ring design I wanted, AND well within my price range. My now fiancee loves her ring! :)

Thanks David and congratulations on your engagement!
We had a wonderful experience at Soho Gem! Retno spent several months guiding us through the diamond selection and setting option, while working with the setter to ensure our design came out perfectly. We're thrilled with the ring and would highly recommend Soho Gem.

Thank you Peter. It means a lot to us that yoou would recommend us to your friends. All the best to you!
Working with Winona at Soho Gem was an absolute gem of an experience. She made a complicated process simple, fun and painless for myself (and definitely for my husband). She spent a lot of time with us to make sure we were comfortable and happy with everything. We were so thrilled with how everything turned out with the engagement ring, we went back to her for our wedding bands, which came out beautifully. I also worked with her on custom pieces for my mom and sister - she helped provide thoughtful designs and options, and executed them perfectly. She went above and beyond for us. Winona is incredibly thoughtful, detail oriented and patient -- not to mention absolutely amazing at what she does. We cannot recommend Soho Gem or Winona enough. They are the best in the business!!!!!

Samantha, thank you for such a wonderful review. We love what we do and take pride in our work. Please stop by anytime to say hello or to clean your jewelry.
Retno at soho gem helped me and my fiancée create a custom engagement ring. From the moment we walked in she greeted us with a smile. After hearing what my partner had in mind, she showed us some a selection of vintage ring settings that were exactly what we were looking for. From then on it was an extremely smooth process to select a diamond and talk about other customizations. Retno displayed her wide ranging knowledge in gemology and really made us feel like we were in extremely good hands. We absolutely love the end result of the ring and I strongly recommend her and Soho gem for anyone that’s looking into unique engagement rings or jewelry in general.
