Diamond District · Since 1988 We only set what’s meant to last.
Run by John Samuel in New York’s Diamond District. We build the ring, set the stone, and repair what has to keep going.
Where we can help
The work that comes through the door, and the work jewelers send when it cannot miss.
Diamond setting
Prong, bezel, channel, micro-pavé. Reset fallen stones. Tighten loose diamonds. Often while you wait. Complicated jobs are the point.
Custom rings
A sketch, a family stone, or a budget. We consult, CAD the design, find the diamond, natural or lab-grown, and build the mounting around it.
Wedding bands
Handmade bands, eternity rows, and sets that sit flush against an engagement ring. Platinum and gold, including U-prong emerald-cut work.
Repair & sizing
Platinum sizing, retipped prongs, vintage restoration, model making. Built so the piece is as strong as it is beautiful.
CAD & model making
Matrix CAD, renderings, and metal-weight reports before anything is poured. You see the ring first. Then it gets made in the workshop.
From the district
“Star Diamond Setting is where you want to go to get your stunning diamond engagement ring. The craftsmanship of the ring is unbelievable.”
