New York City, New York

New York City is a fantastic place to shop for almost anything, but there are some jewelry stores that simply cannot be beat. If you're looking for high-end auction houses, Christie's and Sotheby's are good places to start. Both have New York offices. The Diamond District in New York City is located on 47th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. There are thousands of jewelers and wholesalers in this area who specialize in a wide range of gemstones, diamonds, and fine jewelry.

Before you come here, it's important to know what kind of jewelry you're looking for. You'll probably hear a variety of languages spoken here (Yiddish, Indian, French, Russian, and so on), but shop around to compare prices and quality so you don't feel pressured into making a purchase. Overall, this is an excellent location to purchase precious metal jewelry such as gold and platinum wedding bands and bangles.
