Little King Ltd

Little King Ltd. is absolutely amazing.
Michael, Jennifer, and Angela immediately made us feel at home, and listened intently to what we wanted for our wedding bands. I'd brought along some concept sketches, and all three immediately went to work on how to best bring the ideas into reality.
Michael quickly came up with some great ideas, and Jennifer helped us choose the right stone, seamlessly blending her practical advice with Michael's creative genius.
Throughout the process of bringing these rings into solid form, Jennifer, Michael, and Angela gave us options within our budget, while also explaining what could be done for a little more money. This was done without pushing, pitching, or up-selling: We were specific about what we wanted and they, in turn, gave us several ways in which it could be realized.
They also gave us accurate time estimates and delivered each stage of fabrication as promised.
In the end, two exquisite rings were created; true to what I'd envisioned but all the more magnificent because of the thought, creativity, and artistic skill that had gone into making them. Michael and his staff took my concept and ran with it, improving upon it while staying true to the specifics. Were I a trained goldsmith, I could not have made the rings any more perfect, beautiful or truer to what I'd seen in my mind.
The rings literally took my breath away, and elicited a similar reaction from my girlfr... wife when I presented them to her.
They fit us perfectly - both our fingers and our personalities.
A far cry from the dark, sleazy feeling we got just walking down 47th street, Michael, Jennifer, and Angela have created a space that feels warm and welcoming. Their personalities are open, fun, and sincere. These are honest businesspeople and artists - people who obviously care about what they are doing and love doing it.

We recommend them highly, and look forward to visiting, and doing business with them again in the future!

Pros: Great Customer Service, wonderful people to deal with, talented artisans and honest businesspeople!

My boyfriend and I had been discussing rings for a few weeks when I stumbled upon Little King on this site. The reviews were so great and their website is so amazing that I knew I had to at least visit their shop. I had looked online exhaustively for rings, we went to the diamond district, Zales, you name it. Everything I tried on was lovely, but completely impersonal and overpriced. Nothing felt representative of us as a couple.

We went to Little King on a rainy Saturday. It's a tiny shop in the East Village and it was a little tough to find. We met with Jennifer and she unlocked the cases and advised me to try on whatever looked interesting. So I did. Throughout the process I was sure I wanted white gold, until I saw their stunning rose gold rings. My boyfriend then worked with her (quite secretively) until they came up with the right design, which he had cast in rose gold with a rose-cut diamond.

The ring is absolutely beautiful and there is nothing about it I would change. He reported great service from the people at Little King, with no delays. I have a gorgeous custom-made ring that was reasonably priced.

Thank you to Jennifer and Michael. I wish you tons of success in the future; you deserve it.

Pros: selection of jewelry, service, craftsmanship
Cons: none that I know of

Michael and Jennifer at Little King are simply the best. Going to Little King is more like visiting friends than going to a business. We got our wedding rings and other items there, and each time we go they always remember us and take great care of us.

On top of this, the style of their work is completely unique, one-of-a-kind, and fantastic. They will work with you to help you get just the right piece, and make sure you can do what you want within your budget.

If you are looking for something special, totally unique, and hand-crafted, Little King is the place.

Pros: Unique designs, helpful staff, will work within your budget.
Cons: None.

These guys are all great. Not only is friendly service is a given, but the quality and timeliness of their work is amazing. I recently went to them with a few vague ideas for an engagement ring for my fiancee and they helped me tremendously even suggesting customizing a ring meant for a differently cut diamond. Because my fiancee lives in Canada and my next trip was coming up, I had a very hard deadline for when the ring needed to be done and they easily beat the date. Most importantly, my fiancee loved the ring and is so happy! We're definitely going here to get our wedding bands...and I imagine much more jewelry in the future.

If you are looking for a custom piece or something beautiful and original you owe it to yourselves to check out Little King.

Pros: service, craftsmanship
Cons: the space is small so it can get pretty hectic sometimes - but they do their best and traffic ebbs and flows

i cannot imagine going anywhere else for custom jewelry. they have everything and can do anything. and Michael & Jennifer are terrific people. GO!!, just to see the fascinating display cases.

Pros: service is impeccable
Cons: none
