Smile Jewels & Pawn Loans Pawn shop in New York, NY

I went through several well-known jewelry designers in NYC before landing on Smit at Smile Jewels in the Diamond District, and the difference was immediate. Instead of pushing a preset vision, he actually listened and collaborated with me to bring my exact idea to life.

It felt like my guardian angel walked me into Smile Jewels & pawn loans. I had a vision of how I wanted my wedding ring designed and knew it had to be custom made. When I met with Smit, he instantly gave me a sense of ease… Gave me a great deal! He was polite and expressive of how he would sketch out my ring design.

I was in NYC with my fiance early into our engagement and we went into Smile Jewels for an idea of prices around December 2024. We came back early August 2025 to order our wedding bands and they honored the same estimate they gave us before. I had 2 custom wedding bands made and my fiance got a classic 6mm gold band.

Smit is amazing and I highly recommend! I was looking for a renewal of my engagement ring to be made and I’m originally from Austin. After doing my research, I discovered about NYC’s diamond district. I’m so glad we stumbled into Smit. He understood what I wanted and offered the best price.
