★★★★★I just got my engagement ring with AJ’s Jewelry. I came in as a 26 year old having no clue about what to look for in a ring and a diamond. Jordan and the staff walked me through everything and did not try to rip me off or make me feel dumb for not knowing the engagement ring process before. They were extremely trustworthy and transparent about the pricing and expectations. The ring came out absolutely incredible and my fiancee is so happy.

★★★★★Excellent experiences getting my engagement ring repaired and a vintage gold/enamel men's ring resized. The rings came out perfect - including the vintage ring, which also needed to be re-enameled after resizing. The staff spent a lot of time with us explaining the process and were upfront about costs at every step, including offering lower priced alternatives. I will definitely come back to AJ's!

★★★★★It’s a miracle to find a legitimate jewelry store in the city these days! These guys are the real deal; great inventory, on-site repairs, quality education for precious metals and diamonds and gemstones! Super friendly and good vibes too! Growing up in a mom & dad jewelry store I think I know a thing or two about the business and this crew was an absolute blessing from the first encounter. Definitely found my spot for fine jewelry needs, repairs, and last minute additions to rockin’ outfits!

Specializing in custom jewelry, repairs, engraving, watch repair, wedding bands, engagement rings and bridal accessories, AJ's Jewelry provides unparalleled service and quality at unbeatable prices. We are Ridgewood's leading source for all of your jewelry needs since 1988.
For over 35 years, AJ's Jewelry has been proudly serving the communities of Ridgewood, Glendale, Maspeth, Middle Village, and customers from all across Queens and Brooklyn. We've built our reputation one piece of jewelry — and one happy customer — at a time. When you walk through our doors, you're not just visiting a jewelry store. You're stepping into a family-owned business where craftsmanship, honesty, and personal service have always come first.
Unlike many jewelry stores that send your pieces out to third-party repair shops, every single job at AJ's Jewelry is completed right here in our own workshop. Our jeweler handles your repairs, custom designs, and restorations on-site — and our repair shop is enclosed in glass so you can watch the work being done. We have nothing to hide, and we want you to feel completely confident every step of the way. From the moment you hand us your piece to the moment you pick it up, it never leaves our building.
We believe that buying or repairing jewelry should be a comfortable, enjoyable experience — not a stressful one. That's why we always walk you through your options clearly, explain our pricing upfront, and never push you toward a decision you're not ready to make. Whether you're investing in a custom engagement ring or just need a quick battery replacement for your watch, you'll receive the same level of honesty and respect from our entire team. We'd rather earn your trust than make a quick sale.
Our team has been working with fine jewelry for over 38 years. We've resized thousands of rings, crafted hundreds of custom pieces from scratch, and restored heirloom jewelry that clients thought was beyond saving. There is very little we haven't seen, and even less we can't fix. Every repair and every custom piece is personally inspected by the owner before it leaves the shop — because our name and our reputation go on every single piece we touch.
AJ's Jewelry is truly a one-stop destination for all of your jewelry needs. We offer custom jewelry design, professional jewelry repair, laser engraving, watch repair, pearl restringing, ring sizing, prong retipping, stone replacement, rhodium plating, and jewelry cleaning — all in one location. We carry a curated selection of fine jewelry including engagement rings, wedding bands, bridal accessories, vintage pieces, and personalized name jewelry. Whatever brings you in, we have the skills and the inventory to take care of you completely.
AJ's Jewelers offers a comprehensive range of jewelry services to meet every need. We specialize in custom jewelry design, engagement ring creation, fine jewelry sales, and professional jewelry repair. Our repair services include ring resizing, prong retipping, stone replacement, chain soldering, clasp repair, and re-enameling. We also offer jewelry cleaning, polishing, and rhodium plating to restore your pieces to their original brilliance. Whether you're coming in with a simple repair or a complex custom project, our skilled jewelers handle every job with precision and care. We work with gold, silver, platinum, and a wide variety of precious and semi-precious gemstones.
Yes — custom jewelry design is one of our specialties. We work closely with each client from the initial concept all the way through to the finished piece. The process begins with a consultation where we discuss your vision, preferred metals, gemstone choices, and budget. From there, our jewelers create a design and keep you informed at every step of production. We've created everything from custom engagement rings and anniversary bands to pendants, earrings, bracelets, and one-of-a-kind statement pieces. If you have an idea — or even just an inspiration photo — we can bring it to life. Custom projects are a labor of love for our team, and we take great pride in delivering pieces that exceed expectations.
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the repair. For many common repairs — such as ring sizing, chain soldering, clasp replacement, and prong rebuilding — we try to complete them within 1–2 business days. More involved work, such as stone sourcing and replacement, re-enameling, or pearl re-stringing, may take one to two weeks depending on the materials and labor process required. Custom jewelry projects typically take two to four weeks from approved design to finished piece. We always provide a clear timeline upfront before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect. Rush services may be available for time-sensitive repairs — just ask us when you bring your piece in and we'll do our best to accommodate your schedule.
We work with the full range of precious metals including 10K, 14K, and 18K yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, sterling silver, and platinum. Our gemstone inventory includes diamonds — both natural and lab-grown — as well as sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls, amethysts, opals, and many other precious and semi-precious stones. In case we do not have the stone on hand, we try to source it as quickly as possible. Whether you're looking for a classic solitaire diamond engagement ring or a colorful custom gemstone piece, we have the materials and expertise to make it happen. We're also happy to work with stones or metals you provide, such as repurposing a family heirloom into a new design.
Yes, we carry both natural mined diamonds and lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds — the only difference is how they were formed. Natural diamonds develop over billions of years beneath the earth's surface, while lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled environment that replicates those same conditions. Lab-grown diamonds offer an excellent value, often priced significantly lower than their mined counterparts while maintaining the same brilliance, hardness, and beauty. Our knowledgeable staff will walk you through the differences and help you choose the option that best fits your priorities and budget — with zero pressure.
