Facets

Sweet Unilocal deal here, but you have to check in AND write a review in-​store, so here goes — nice shop with a small-​but-​fine selection. This place has a nice number of unique/​vintage pieces which they will custom fit for you, along with a number of new/​in-​house designs. Talking mostly higher-​end options here, insofar as quality (and price point). Gaby & Liz are impressive salespeople who speak a jewelry language far beyond mine — incredibly helpful in guiding this incredibly uninformed person to pick out an appropriate gift. FYI, I’d say the bulk of there in-​store items are wedding/​engagement related jewelry, but they do have a nice assortment of regular occasion jewelry. I’d say you’re in good hands here, especially if your hands aren’t used to handling, observing or purchasing jewelry.

This store is simply fantastic. I went in quite a few times while searching for my wedding band, and I can’t say enough about how beautiful their jewelry is (the antique engagement rings are beyond gorgeous) and how helpful the staff was. Gaby was knowledgable and passionate about helping me find the perfect band, and I walked away confident and thrilled about my choice. Thank you!!!

I do not recommend selling your jewelry to Facets. I had two rings I was considering selling to them. I was offered $ 55 per a ring cash or $ 110 per a ring store credit. Seeing that the rings were yellow gold with diamonds and emeralds and white gold with diamonds and sapphires, I thought this price seemed very low but said I would checkout what they had to offer in both locations and then let them know what I wanted to do. When I went by the 7^th ave store a few days later (I dropped the rings off at the 9^th street location), I was surprised to see my rings already on display. I was shocked to see a $ 1850 price tag on each ring. When I explained to the woman working at the store that I not only didn’t confirm that I wanted to 100% sell them — I was appalled that they would offer me such a low price — her reply to me was that this was standard and ‘how the industry worked’. Instead of listening to me, she was defensive and spoke to me like I just didn’t get it. Nothing was done to the rings, they simply took them from my hand and put a price tag on them that was $ 1800 more than the cash value they offered me. I don’t care what industry it is, they were ripping me off. I asked her to remove the rings from the display and have a manager call me.
Two days later, I was finally given the explanation that they put the rings on display too early by mistake and also made the mistake of pricing them as eternity bands, 2 – 3 times more than they intended. While I believe it was a mistake to try and sell them before I confirmed my sale to them, I don’t believe the pricing was a mistake. This is an established jewelry business, you don’t look at two rings with 5 – 6 stones on them and price them BOTH as eternity bands. And if you did make a mistake this huge, you call the customer back right away and apologize — not tell them this is how it is, wait two days, then call back with a ‘oh whoops’ explanation. I’ll never sell to Facets or buy anything from them because of this experience.

Fantastic jeweler! Gaby was extremely helpful in helping me find the right wedding band. They had a very diverse selection. Silver, gold, platinum, vintage; you name it. Also very diverse styles. Modern to traditional. It made it very easy to find the right choice.

I did my engagement on July 4^th, and had requested Lenny if he could design a custom ring within 7 days. Lenny not only did the job within 3 days, but absolutely left us spellbound with the quality and reasonable price, delivering above and beyond what was promised. Will definitely go back to him for future purchases

Beautiful jewlery, but I found it to be overpriced and the owners to be a bit rude. Female owner specifically. Which is unfortunate because I love supporting small businesses. We will continue to shop around.

Can’t say enough about this place. They’re 100% my go-​to jeweler in Park Slope… and there are too many to count in my neighborhood!

I know virtually nothing about jewelry, but I know about people.
When I was searching for an engagement ring for my fiancée, I visited many jewelers. At pretty much every shop, big and small, I was reminded of how little I knew. Because of my lack of knowledge, I was being upsold at every opportunity. Even though I went into these places knowing what I was looking for (based on an image I had saved) and knew how much I was able to spend, I was told «we can’t do that. Here, THIS is what you want.» They clearly knew more than I did about what my girlfriend wanted.
Needless to say, my mission to find the perfect ring was feeling hopeless. I was about to settle for something significantly less than perfect when I decided to try one more place, a small shop called Facets in Park Slope. Lenny immediately made me feel safe and confident. He saw a person about to make the most important decision of his life, not a potential sale. He wanted to know what my girlfriend was like, how we met, etc. He knew that in order to get the right ring for us, he had to know who we were. I showed him the picture I had and rather than dismiss it as the others had, he insisted that we would find a way to make it happen within my budget.
He used various rings he had on hand to show me the kind of metal, the quality and size of the stones, and the style that he had in mind. He was going to custom build me THE RING! He listened to my ideas and made adjustments. Every couple of days he sent me the latest computer-​generated images of the ring. He was on top of it and kept me in the loop the whole time.
When the ring was finished, it was better than I ever could have hoped for. My fiancée loved it. How could she not? It was the exact ring she wanted.
Like I said earlier. I don’t know jewelry, but I know a good, honest person when I meet one. Lenny’s a pro. Don’t settle on anything less than perfect. Go see Lenny.

This place is a fantastic little neighborhood shop with gorgeous pieces and friendly, personable staff. Liz guided us through choosing a pair of beautiful wedding bands in a way that was super helpful and not at all pushy. There’s a lot of great jewelry in this store and we will definitely be back.

They designed our engagement ring and we’ve been coming back ever since. Highly recommended!

Great job of helping me pick a diamond necklace for my wife. Been here before several times. The place has a great selection be a very helpful staff. I had a number of questions that the staff helped me with. I am very pleased with my purchase and my wife was very happy as well.

My fiancé proposed to me with a beautiful ring of his mother’s that was not quite my style, and my grandmother left me an equally beautiful ring that was too small. After months of searching for a place that would combine the stones in the two rings into a design we liked but wouldn’t break the bank, we found Facets, and the ring they created out of the two I brought them was more beautiful than the sum of its parts — more beautiful than I could have imagined! Liz listened to me so well right from the beginning, and Lenny inspired nothing but confidence in the quality of their work. They helped me find the shape and style of ring that was right for me, and listened to all my concerns about using the family rings. I also brought in an emerald eternity band that was too small and that no other jeweler would agree to resize, and Facets managed to make it fit me perfectly. On top of all that, they made a custom ring for my soon-​to-​be husband, and fixed his watch! I couldn’t be happier with how all our pieces turned out, and the very reasonable price made it all the better — not to mention how pleasant Liz and Lenny were! I will definitely go back to Facets if I ever need another piece of jewelry, and I’ve already recommended them to all my friends.

Facets it amazing. I have my antique wedding and engagement rings restored there and the experience has been above and beyond. They are super knowledgable and really care about making your jewelry perfect. They also have an amazing collection. I highly recommend.

Huge thank you to facets for helping design and make a gorgeous necklace representing my family. I knew I wanted something organic with everyone’s birthstones and I am thrilled with how it turned out. They walked me through the process, and took the best parts of my idea and steered it in a great direction. I couldn’t be happier!

Unfortunately I did not have a very good experience with the store. I went to have the clasp on a diamond tennis bracelet repaired. No parts we needed, the only thing that needed to be done was to have the platinum box clasp repaired/​resized. Facets told me it would be a quick repair and did have it done within the same business day. I was extremely surprised that they charged me $ 50 for what they said was a simple repair. I didn’t challenge the cost as I was in a rush and was just so happy that my bracelet was fixed. They put the bracelet on my wrist and I just sucked up the $ 50 charge and went on my way.
Imagine my surprise the next day when I took off the bracelet and tried to put back on. The clasp was broken! Because I didn’t get a good vibe with the store personnel or the way the repair was handled, I decided not to go back and have them try to re-​fix. When I reiterated my experience to some friends, they echoed that they also had similar bad experiences with Facets. It’s really a pity since it would be wonderful to have a go-​to jewelry shop in the neighborhood.

After over 10 incredible years of adventure, my husband and I decided that it was time to start fresh, including a new set of rings. We were in the Park Slope neighborhood when we decided and we found Facets on Unilocal.We walked right over and spent over 30 minutes with the staff, helping us find the perfect (non-​traditional) rings for both of us. The staff was so patient and helpful as we figured out exactly what we wanted, and we even managed to find a matching non-​traditional set of rings that were perfect for us.
The price was totally reasonable (especially since there were no diamonds in the rings), and we were able to get my ring re-​sized the same day. My husband decided that he needed to get his ring re-​sized a week or so later, and they did it right away for him.
Facets truly understands why you are buying and can help you find exactly what you want.

Oh, wow! This place is fantastic! After spending the whole day looking for a jewelry store with an actual selection, we finally found ourselves at Facets.
As soon as we walked in, we knew we were comfortable. We immediately saw a couple of designs for a man’s wedding band that we liked and Gaby was swift to help us with the size.
We are way behind schedule with this wedding, so we definitely felt pressured at some of the other jewelry stores we were at today. Not here at Facets!!! We felt magically comfortable with Gaby and are extremely happy we didn’t settle earlier on in the day.

I can’t say enough good things about our ring-​shopping experience here. We’re in our mid– and late-​twenties, and very much didn’t want to do the «haggling in the diamond district» thing; this ring is a symbol of our love, our relationship, and our future, and it would’ve been demeaning to all these things to fight over the price.
We went to a number of notable Brooklyn ring shops (the usual suspects) and met with a local rep of a.m. online retailer, but none of them had the selection or diversity that we hoped for. Upon walking into the pristine, yet warm, shoowroom at Facets, we got really excited. They had everything from rough diamonds to tourmalines. Lenny was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We spoke at length about what kinds of metals we had in mind, and he gave his honest opinion on the pros and cons (having done research, some of his opinions were to his financial detriment).
We eventually selected a beautiful, vintage-​looking sapphire ring, and have received endless complements on it. The price was exceedingly fair, and they let me pay for it in two installments. When we got it appraised for insurance coverage, the appraisor went out of his way to complement the workmanship and attention to detail that went into the ring. Every aspect of The appraisal was spot on with what Lenny told us: carat weight, color/​translucency, and the appraised retail value was dead on.
I have already recommended Facets to peers, and will continue to do so far into the future.

Beautiful delicate jewelry. Lots of cute items to choose from. They also do ear piercing if u need it.
Great selection for Mother’s Day.

My boyfriend and I went in only expecting to look (as we have been for a few months now … shh! We’re slow!), and we ended up walking out engaged. Facets has lovely jewelry, and the young woman (Irina) who worked with us was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. She answered our questions, provided gentle assurances, but also wasn’t pushy AT ALL. And we found the perfect ring. I love this place, and want to thank them (and Irina!) so much for helping us start this journey together!
Five stars! Totally recommend!
