Looking at many sites, Leigh Jay Nacht caugt my attention right away. The hardest part was really deciding on which one. With the help of my fiancee I picked out my future wedding ring (in Sweden a band is usually the engagement ring). The ring came in good time and is perfect. It has been almost a year and I am still thrilled with the ring everyday! It is nice to get a ring that I feel is individual and a replica of a beautiful older style. I cannot recommend Leigh Jay enough. Thanks!

My fiance showed me few websites and designs of the ring, all of them are good but the one that caught my eye is Leigh's antique replica designs. There's nothing like it everywhere we looked. All the designs are just beautiful! The art deco ring was the one we chose and we have no regrets. Leigh and Winona helped me thru the payment with no issues at all. Winona helped me with the selection, sizing, photos and delivery to my fiance in NYC and everything else. Thank you Leigh and Winona for all the help. Everything was a breeze! I wouldnt find any of these styles and service anywhere else. The ring is just perfect! thank you so much!

I knew I wanted a vintage style engagement ring and when my fiance and I looked locally, I did not like anything we saw. I started searching the internet and stumbled upon Leigh Jay Nacht and fell in love with a setting on the website. My fiance and I contacted Leigh and told him what ring we were interested in. Leigh and Winona found the perfect center stone and when my mom and I took a trip to NYC, we stopped to visit Leigh and Winona. They were wonderful to work with and my fiance and I could not be happier. I get so many compliments on the style and design as it is so unique. We will definitely be ordering the matching wedding band for our upcoming wedding. THANK YOU Leigh & Winona for building me a beautiful engagement ring!

I just received this ring from my fiance, and I love it! It is full of fire and life and beautifully sits on my finger. Perhaps even more important is the service my fiance and I received as we went through the process of selecting a ring through this site. Leigh was absolutely wonderful - so patient and helpful with all of our questions, and willing to help us in any way he could as we made our decision from afar. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a jeweler! He is by far the most trustworthy jeweler we encountered during our search for the perfect ring.

We had a great experience with Leigh. Both my engagement ring and wedding band are so unique and beautiful. They were also a very reasonable price. My fiance brought my diamond to the showroom, and Leigh set it and sent it out promptly. When my diamond became a little loose half a year later, he tightened the prongs and sent it back to me at no charge with no hassle. We trust Leigh and would purchase from him again, which is likely since all of his jewelry is so gorgeous.

I was in love with the idea of a vintage art deco engagement ring, but very worried about purchasing something like this online. I spent weeks scouring the internet and was reassured by Leigh Jay Nacht's reputation. The Better Business Bureau grades them an A+, they provided the original documentation from the independent appraisal they procured, and they have one of the most generous return policies I've found. They were very prompt and courteous in their responses to my inquiries. My boyfriend and I found a ring on their site that we both loved and received it yesterday. WOW!! The pictures online didn't do it justice, it's absolutely gorgeous and I know I'll never see one like it on any other woman's finger. We can't stop looking at it. Thanks so much for the most beautiful ring I've ever seen!

I found the perfect ring on their website but I was extremely nervous purchasing a ring online. I shopped around locally and actually purchased a ring from a local jeweler. But after having it for a weekend I just knew the design I had seen on their website was the ring my fiancee would want. After looking into their reviews and background info on BBB, I decided to return the first ring and purchase a ring from Leigh Jay Nacht. They were great to work with, even thought NYC was completely shut down due to a snow storm the day I ordered the ring, they replied to me via email very quickly and assured me that the ring would be shipped out via FedEx the next day. Once I received the ring, I took it to a certified independent appraiser. I was anxious that it would not appraise for what I paid, but to my relief it appraised for even more money that I purchased the ring for. I was very please with the appraiser and learned quite a bit about diamonds from him during the appraisal. My advice is to make sure that your diamond is GIA CERTIFIED this takes almost all of the guess work out of the value of the diamond.

My fiance and I both love the 1930's engagement ring/band combo that we purchased. It is a beautiful and unique piece. Our friends all really like the uniqueness of it. Thank you so much for a great experience!

Even though I already proposed and bought the ring around March 2010, I would like to thank Leigh J. Nacht for his great work. From the beginning I was extremely satisfied with his prompt responses in answering all my questions via email and via telephone when needed. The whole process was extremely smooth as he was able to deliver the exact ring my fiancee wanted at the time based on the ones he had in the online showroom. I live in Columbia, SC and Leigh work with me so that I did not have to go to NYC at anytime. The final product was sensational and my fiancee still tells how much she loves it! Thank you very much once again and best regards!

Carlos, Columbia, SC

I always knew that I wanted a unique engagement ring, something that no one else would have. I worked with Leigh and Winona for approximately a month to find the engagement ring of my dreams. My fiancé just proposed with the Leigh Jay Nacht Inc. ring and it's just stunning. I get complements on it everywhere I go. We were a little nervous about ordering a ring online from the States but Leigh and Winona were just great! They patiently answered all the questions we had and made us so comfortable. We had no problems at all! I recommend Leigh Jay Nacht Inc. to everyone I talk to! I would definitely work with them again! Thank you so much!

Lauren, Thunder Bay, ON

Love, love, love my circa 1930's engagement ring. It's everything I was looking for at the local jewellers but couldn't find, and it just jumped off the page at me when I spotted it on your site. Within 2 weeks of receiving the ring, the main diamond fell out. Luckily we found it - minor heart attack later - and took it to a local jeweller to get refitted. A quick email to Leigh and apologies and a refund for the repair work were on their way. These things are bound to happen with antique settings I guess, just glad I noticed right away and found the diamond! Really appreciated the wonderful customer service and still admire my ring daily, over a year later. Thanks again!

Jenny, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Thank you for this gorgeous ring! My fiance already had a diamond, so we picked a setting, and the ring is even more beautiful in person than it is on the website. The details on the ring are amazing, and I love having something so lovely and unique. We had the ring appraised by an independent jeweler, and it was appraised for more than double what we paid- even if we'd had to buy a diamond, it still would be worth double of what we paid. Leigh was so helpful and answered all our questions about the ring; we would definitely recommend him to anyone that wants a unique, beautiful engagement ring!

Erin, Pittsburgh, PA

I had always known that I wanted a 1920s engagement ring but my fiancé and I didn't know where to go about looking for one. My older sister had an antique engagement ring and wedding band and when we told her we were looking for something similar, she suggested Leigh's website. Ordering diamond rings online made us a little nervous, but my sister told us not to worry. Her husband had purchased the rings here and they couldn’t be happier. There is a 30 period in which you can decide if the ring is right for you and if not, you can return it. She and her husband completely trust Leigh and the website. My sister is incredibly happy with both of her rings. The selection is incredible! The rings are gorgeous! My fiancé proposed back in January with a stunning 1.5 total carat late 1920s platinum ring and I adore it! We got it appraised for insurance purposes and the appraiser went on and on about how beautiful it was! He loved it and said that it was in great shape. We will be back for our wedding bands. I am so glad that we opted to purchase from Leigh Jay Nacht Inc. I can't recommend it highly enough. I am constantly telling people to visit this website and purchase with confidence!! Thanks again. I hope we continue to come back to purchase more jewelry throughout our marriage.

Alexia, Chicago, IL

I wanted to thank you all again for an amazing experience!! She was beside herself when I gave it to her, it is truly a beautiful ring you put together for me!! I could not have asked for anything more and I look forward to doing business with you again soon!

David C, Christiansburg, Va

What an amazing ring. My Fiance is in love with it and so am i. The antique ring we ordered was the Replica Art Deco Setting and it truly is one of a kind. They are so unique and we will most likely never run into another couple with the same style ring. Thank you Leigh for being so kind and helpful throughout the process. Looking forward to ordering our bands from you soon.

David Kelly Sterling, VA

Leigh, thank you sooooooo much for having been a part of my gorgeous engagement ring. My now fiance proposed last week and the ring is just AMAZING!! The 1920s antique setting you suggested is a piece of art and complements our antique stones so well. You helped my fiance feel at ease and he could not be happier with his choice. You and your staff are THE BEST! Will recommend you to everyone i know. Thanks again for your wonderful service and honesty--rare gems :-)

Fabiola -- Brooklyn, NY

i got my ring last week and its just truly beautiful. My fiance and I were going back and forth between the original ring from the 1940's and the replica. I spoke to Leigh on several occasions and he was really incredibly helpful answering all of our questions and at no point did we feel any pressure from him, which was a really great and relaxing way to go about things. I would recommend them to anyone looking. Selection was great as well, very diverse.

Julia Rose, Brooklyn

My boyfriend (now fiance)recently purchased an engagement ring (#1r416) from your store online and gave it to me on Christmas eve. I adore it! It is gorgeous - it sparkles more than I ever could have imagined. He was very impressed with both you and your staff, stating that you were always courteous and answered every question that he had in a timely and professional manner. Thank you so much for working with him and for creating my beautiful engagement ring. I have no doubt that I will be returning for a matching wedding band in the near future. Thanks again.

Danielle, Witchita, KS

I found this website while assissting my dad in finding a 40th Wedding Anniversary present for my mother. My dad was so nervous about ordering anything online and Leigh was absolutely amazing. He kept me posted on the shipping of the ring and was so patient with all of my questions. My mother was absolutely thrilled, the ring was magnificent. I will definitely be doing business with Leigh again and look forward to visiting him in New York. Thank you again!!!

Sam Brightwell Harrison AR

Its been two years and I'm still in LOVE with my engagement ring and wedding band from Leigh. Theres something about these rings that still takes my breath away. I look at them several times a day! My engagement ring especially is the ring of my dreams. A long time ago my parents found a HUGE solitaire antique engagement ring when I was a girl. It was stolen soon after finding it, but I kept dreaming about that ring for years. So, when it came time to get an engagement ring it was very difficult. But it was also really important to find that ring I had dreamed of and Leigh had it!!! Thank you for reviving the past! Also many thanks for being so personable and genuine. You made ring shopping such a pleasure! ~Mrs. & Mr. Glaberman.

Sarah and Matthew Glaberman, Connecticut

After 25 yrs of marriage I found the perfect anniversary ring on Leighs' site. My husband and I ordered the ring and we could not be more pleased. This is an heirloom quality gorgeous ring. Every time I go out someone comments on it's beauty, both of the design and the quality of the stones. BUT the thing I want to stress is how willing not just Leigh but ALL his employees were. My mother had a life changing illness and all communication had to center around her. I actually called at one point and asked them to hold the delivery until we could get home from yet another surgery. Leigh and his people were great. They were supportive and understanding of the situation and more than that, I feel that we became friends. I would never trust anyone else to service this magical ring and my whole family knows who to turn to for jewelry service. My 9 yr old neice remarked the first time she saw my ring "I don't want you to die, but will you leave me that ring if you do?". Honestly, there are not enough adjectives in the English language to describe my ring. It is truly a peice of art. Every time I look at my hand I am reminded of every milestone in our 25 yrs. together! Thank you Leigh for your craftsmanship and your graciousness!

Randy & Elizabeth Burrell, Columbus, NC

My fiance has been a huge fan of your website for years. When it came time to pick out the perfect ring, there was no question that I would be getting it here. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and uniqueness of the ring and matching band that Leigh designed for us. Also, Leigh's professionalism and wonderful customer service took care of any anxieties I had for making such a large purchase. I honestly can't say enough good things about this website and about Leigh. Thank you so very much!

Kevin & Rebecca, New Hampshire

My fiance and I found Lee's site online, and I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted by the time we went into the city to pick one out at Leigh's booth in person. However, when I got there, I realized the ring I had n mind wasn't right for me at all. Lee was incredibly patient and truly helpful, pulling out tray upon tray of rings, helping us find the ring of my dreams. His expertise and kindness were so helpful to us. He was completely understanding when we told him we would go for a walk and think about it. We did look at rings from other vendors in the district, but not a single one was as low pressure, honest, fairly priced, and truly caring as Leigh. The other rings paled in their quality and beauty. We returned to Leigh, and found the ring I am now wearing. I can't recommend Leigh enough- he is the man to see for your antique jewelery needs.

Jeff & Irene, Connecticut

Wow! Leigh has the most gorgeous and unique designs of any site I have visited and he and his staff are so gracious, helpful, polite and accommodating... The service and overall experience was impeccable....the merchandise was delivered to my doorstep the following day upon completion of the transaction and Leigh custom-designed a unique piece for me which exceeded my expectations for beauty beyond belief! I am so happy with my new diamond ring and I am already in the process of placing another order with him. I have searched for ages for a site similar to this one for the beauty of antique design of yesteryear and am so glad to have found Leigh. Thank you once again, Leigh, for going the extra mile for me.

Carol, Sarasota Florida

HE IS THE BEST!!!! If you're planning a wedding you know just how stressful this is and how costly it could get but he made the entire process so simple. I found the ring that my fiance wanted at an amazing price and not only that but Leigh was professional and understanding. This is definitely the highlight of my wedding planning. I would recommend Leigh to anybody. Leigh God Bless you! =) It was a pleasure doing business with you!

Madelyn Vazquez, New York City

I met Leigh in 2000 or 2001, and I purchased a 3.04 Carat Old European cut from Leigh set in a reproduction of an Edwardian setting. I love my ring and Leigh's great prices. Thank you Leigh. Linda

Linda Koenig - Atlanta, GA

We came to Leigh after months of searching for an appropriate ring after being disappointed by sales clerks elsewhere who were not helpful and didn't put the time in to help us (due to our smaller than average budget.) I had very specific taste in rings, and with Leigh's help we found a ring that both my fiance and I loved. Without Leigh's kindness, patience and willingness to work with our budget, we would never have found such a wonderful ring. I will continue to recommend Leigh to anyone who is looking for something that isn't run of the mill, and a positive human side to engagement ring purchasing.

Ruby + Jonah, New York City

I just received my ring and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I highly recommend Leigh; he and his staff are true professionals. Leigh, you can plan on my doing business with you in the future. Thank you.

Estelle, San Bruno, California

It was my mother-in-law that first came across Leigh's website and excitedly called us. It was exactly what we'd been searching for. We had already had a gorgeous diamond, my husband's grandmother's, and we needed a setting that would recall the wonderful, nostalgic era in which she lived and had worn the diamond orginially. Leigh set it so perfectly! With claw-foot prongs and a swirling floral deco-inspired design, Leigh artfully morphed our diamond and his setting into one new, stunning ring! We're so happy with it. We returned to choose matching wedding bands and they complete this wonderful new heirloom that we will joyously pass down! Leigh is at once, humble, pleasant, professional and a true artisan!

Naomi, New York City

I worked with Leigh for almost three months designing a ring based off of this band. The result was outstanding and Leigh was a pleasure to work with. We purchased this band to match the engagement ring. It is absolutely beautiful and feminine; unlike the bulky rings that dominate today's market. With everyone specializing in diamonds, it is nice to work with someone who puts so much care into the ring itself!

Eric IL, USA

After months of searching local stores for the perfect engagement ring, I finally found it at Leigh's! I selected a ring from the site and called with some questions, which he patiently answered. He helped acquire and mount a wonderful diamond for the ring. My fiance absolutely loves the ring, and her girlfriends have commented that it's the most beautiful ring they're ever seen. Leigh's attitude, craftsmanship, and overall customer service is outstanding and I recommend him highly!

Andy, San Francisco, CA

Leigh's designs are the most beautiful we've seen and he created the perfect engagement ring for us, both delicate and spectacular with a matching band. After a long search locally and online, we found Leigh. He was responsive to all our questions and found us an extraordinarily beautiful GIA-certified diamond at an incredible value. Thank you Leigh! We highly recommend you!

Deanna and James, California

After a long search, I finally found my ideal setting from Leigh. I was so excited when my fiance proposed ( Setting L1052pl). I also received the matching wedding band. I get daily compliments and people always ask where my fiance found such a stunning setting! I would recommend Leigh to anyone. I also purchased my fiance's platinum wedding band from Leigh, which he loved!! Leigh was great to work and completed each order in no time! Thanks!

Melissa Caldera, New York, New York

Leigh was extremely professional and I would send potential customers to him without hesitation. He was patient, friendly, and always had a smile, despite my nervousness!

Raj - NYC

Leigh is amazing and so is his jewelry! Not only did he work with my fiance behind my back to make my setting (L1053pl) & proposal a complete surprise, but he has fixed two heirloom pieces I own so that I can have a piece of my grandmothers with me on my wedding day...and he charged me a fraction of what another high end store wanted to. He also recommended adding some diamonds to the chain of the one piece and it is now just so much more beautiful..I never would have even thought of it! I also purchased a gorgeous wedding band (L1200pl ) from Leigh that, althought it is not the matching band to my engagement ring, goes beautifully with it. Waiting patiently to get married so I can wear it!! I must also add that my ring appraised almost double what we paid for it...and the appraiser complimented it as a "beautiful piece of jewelry with great quality diamonds". Leigh is a pleasure to work with and is defintely NOT the typical high pressure salesmen found in the diamond district. I plan on using him for years to come..he's worth the hour long drive and 40 minute train ride to see! Thanks Leigh :)

Kathryn, Hampton Bays, NY

I am so happy that my husband and I purchased from Leigh. He was great to work with, even when I had to send the ring back for repair, he fixed it at no cost! He is always willing to help me with any jewelry issue and has the most incredible selection at really good values. My engagement ring was appraised at twice what we paid. We are so happy and I get so many compliments on the rings. I tell everyone, call Leigh, he can find you exactly what you want! Thanks Leigh!

Jennifer, St. Louis, MO

I ordered a ring from Leigh and because of the diamond size and shape the mounting I had picked would not fit perfect. So he made the mounting special it took a little over a month. It was well worth the wait. My fiance loved it. I was very pleased with the ring it was great quality was great and the ring appraised for more than double the price paid. Thank You

Bryan Harvey, Dallas, TX

Hi Leigh, I just wanted to send another little note to thank you and Stephanie again for all of your help!! I love my ring more every day. I have been getting so many compliments on it. You may be getting more visitors from Atlanta! I hope you both have a great Holiday!! Thanks again, Malynda

Malynda, Atlanta, GA

I came across Leigh's site when looking for a wedding ring to match the engagement ring my fiance had made using a family stone. I was so lucky to find a stunning antique eternity band that was a perfect fit for my ring, my finger and our budget. We truly found our needle in a haystack when we found this site. We also ordered my husband's new ring from Leigh as well. I LOVE my ring and get so many compliments on it. Pardon the pun, but Leigh is a GEM to work with! Thanks so much!

Carolyn, New York, NY

Leigh's rings are exquisite! The detailing is amazing, and their photos online do not do them justice as they are even more beautiful in person! Leigh is such a pleasure to work with, and his pieces are a great value for the pricing. He provides very personal service and immediate turn-around time. Not only have I purchased online (long distance) from Leigh, I have also had the pleasure of going to his NYC location to work with him in person. I currently own 5 items from Leigh and each is piece is a treasure.

Lorie - Southern California

I searched for a long time at the local jewelry stores as well as online to find a "victorian" type setting that Tessi wanted. I finally found the one I eventually bought on this site. I was a bit nervous buying it online, being such a big purchase. But Leigh was very courteous and offered the assurance I needed to place my order. I ordered and the ring was at my door the next morning. Tessi not only said "yes," but can't stop telling me how perfect it is. Thanks so much Leigh!

Joel & Tessi - Rio Grande Valley, TX

I first encountered this mounting on the website, but was hesitant to buy online. I had business in New York, so I decided to visit Leigh at his store. The mounting was even more beautiful in person! Leigh was very friendly and helpful, and assisted me in selecting my center diamond from his stock and mounted it in the setting...and all for a VERY reasonable price. I was so pleased with my engagement ring, I asked Leigh to custom design my wedding band as well. I recently took both rings to an independent appraiser, and he initially mistook the rings for family heirlooms! Both rings combined appraised for nearly DOUBLE the purchase price. I highly recommend Leigh's work to anyone in the market for a unique, beautiful wedding set!
