Stuart Moore Gallery of Designer Jewelry

Stuart Moore was my second — and last — stop on my search for the perfect engagement ring. And I wouldn’t change a thing. I first tried the JewelryMart to overcome my natural ignorance for bright, shiny objects. Everything seemed so generic and cheap.
Then I walked into Stuart Moore. Beautiful, minimalist interior design with even more stunning jewelry. I knew I didn’t have to search any further. That’s when I met Ingrid. Rather than be pushed into a decision, she calmly walked me through the styles to figure out my preferences. Stuart Moore himself even came up to offer some prosecco. Customer service never felt so authentic and caring.
Ingrid understood this was a big life decision and helped me every step of the way. I wanted to keep the whole thing a surprise and propose while I vacationed with my now-​fiancée. Ingrid recommended I get a presentation ring and then return together to design a custom piece for her finger. Good idea… my fiancée loved being involved in the process.
Yes, quality doesn’t come cheap so I had to increase my budget. By a lot. But this is a work of art that’s going to last a lifetime. I chose one of the unique platinum settings with a floating diamond. The design itself is elegant but not at all ostentatious. My fiancée barely wore jewelry before and now she almost trips on the sidewalk while she’s staring at her ring.
Not surprisingly I called Ingrid when we were ready to buy wedding bands. We ordered a gorgeous matching set for my fiancée and a very simple round platinum band for me. I’m not big on wearing jewelry either but I’m pretty excited to wear mine after the wedding a few weeks from now.
I’d recommend Ingrid and everyone at Stuart Moore in a heartbeat. Just be ready to part with a considerable amount of cash. It’s worth a lifetime of happiness!

Terrific service, wonderful contemporary designs, and the stores are comfortable places to shop. Every once in awhile we run into Stuart Moore, who is always engaging and thoughtful. We bought both our wedding rings there, and still love them.

I bought a beautiful diamond engagement ring at Stuart Moore. Unfortunately the engagement didn’t work out and I tried to return the ring after it was only worn for a few weeks. It turns out I’m extremely naïve when it comes to buying engagement rings, as I imagine most dudes are. The first surprise was that there are no returns or exchanges. The second surprise is when you walk out of Stuart Moore with the ring it immediately loses more than ²⁄₃ of it’s value. So if you spent 10k on a ring at Stuart Moore you would be lucky to get 3K in the 2^nd hand market. When I tried to resell it at Circa (a second market buyer Stuart Moore recommended), I was told that the EGL diamond certification was not accurate that the clarity grade was way off. They weren’t even interested in purchasing the ring. They said if it were a more recognized brand like Tiffany or Cartier it would have held it’s value better. I thought I had bought a nationally recognized premium designer. I was completely shocked at what I was hearing. When I talked to Stuart Moore again they basically told me that I was shit out of luck, that the ring was worth it’s weight as scrap metal, and the EGL certification is subjective. Then they gave me the dreaded car lot analogy. I felt swindled and disheartened by Stuart Moore and the entire ring buying process. Live and learn. My advice is if you are going to pay a premium go to a Tiffany or Cartier. Otherwise go to a local up and coming designer and put the money you save back into the ring or your honeymoon.

I tried Stuart Moore .
There was a lady by the name of Andree who has welcomed me with warm, normal (not phony) smile in this expensive jewelry store. The place is sort of airy, you can really relax and put your mind to what you want to get… Andree was extremely helpful and accommodating with information about some of the pieces I was interested in potentially purchasing. She really made me feel at ease. I ended up buying a beautiful 18k neckless with tiny diamonds in it that looked like a flower… very delicate, very modern. Got this present of my mother’s day for my wife as she is a mother to my kids. My was was superbly pleased since the design was very much in her style… Thank you Stuart Moore for a lovely and accomodating jewelry place experience… you guys rock!!!

All I can say is amazing. I bought my fiancés engagement ring here last year and as someone who has never really bought any real jewelry, dropping alot of money is a big deal, but Ed made it as easy and comfortable as it could be. He never rushed me, and really talked me through the entire purchase, and when it was time to pay, he let me do installments so that made it even easier.
Needless to say my fiancé loved it, and when we went back to order wedding bands, Ed was there again to help us through and remembered me and what I had bought. Ed’s a great guy and when it comes to buying anything else in the future, Ed at Stuart Moore will be my first stop.

As a guy getting involved with buying jewelry for the first time, I felt completely out of my depth. I didn’t know anything about choosing a ring or a diamond, and yet this material decision is supposed to be one that we both live with for the rest of our lives. There’s a huge amount of pressure to get it right.
I went to a few stores to get a sense of the market, and there seemed to be a general haze around pricing; it seemed advantageous for the seller that i remain uninformed.
When I walked into Stuart Moore, i was immediately drawn into the beauty of their designs. I was introduced to Ingrid, who was very helpful in showing me the options and allowing me to go at the pace that I was comfortable with. Contrary to other stores, she also went out of her way to make sure that I was as informed as possible about my selection.
In the end, I purchased a ring that my fiancée loves, and I enjoyed the experience of buying it for her. I would recommend Stuart Moore to anyone, particularly working with Ingrid. I will certainly be working with her to get my wedding ring, too.

My partner wanted something modern, contemporary & unique for her engagement ring and we found the perfect thing for her at Stuart Moore in Pacific Heights. Ingrid assisted us from the beginning and was amazing to work with. She made great suggestions but was not pushy, and she was funny, patient and accommodating. The cost is on the high end but we loved the experience of buying my partner’s engagement ring here so much, we ended up buying both of our wedding bands here as well!

My fiancé and I searched for over a year for a unique engagement ring. We went to the diamond district in SF and we always had our eyes open when we traveled to see if anything piqued our interest. Finally we walked into Stuart Moore when they happened to be having a jeweler ‘trunk show’. There were several designers from all over the country displaying their one of a kind pieces. WE FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING! Working with Stuart Moore, the employees and Satoru was an amazing experience. After a month of learning about the process, choosing the perfect piece, finding a beautiful diamond… it was on my hand. When we were driving home from picking the rings up, we couldn’t stop talking about how much we enjoyed the process, the people, and the time we spent with them. We not only got my engagement ring but we also got matching wedding bands. They have some GREAT designs for men and everything is customizable! The process of making the pieces is totally different from any other jeweler that I’ve researched. Their quality is above and beyond anything i’ve ever seen!!!
I would recommend Stuart Moore to everyone, especially the people who ‘know someone’… trust me when i say, you should know the people at Stuart Moore!

11 years after buying an extraordinarily expensive engagement ring and wedding band that were and are stunningly beautiful, I have no regrets.
Ed particularly, and everyone else there I have met are personable and professional. Once we saw their rings, there was never an option of going elsewhere. I may not be fully objective, but I have never seen a ring on any other woman that I liked as much. We stop by often or polishing and just to say hi. This place is the best in town/​state/​world (?).

My wife and I got our wedding bands from Stuart Moore, and we couldn’t be happier. The customer service is above and beyond, the selection is unique and gorgeous, the designers are a thoughtfully curated collection, and every time I go in, I want to buy a few pieces. When you go in, talk to Ed. He’s your guy.

You’ll find a whole modern extravaganza at Stuart Moore Gallery
The Mr & I were hunting a large, fun cocktail ring for an upcoming event & while we saw sleek, simple (in a good way), modern pieces in their windows, we knew we wanted to come in to see what else they had to offer
There was a particular designer whose style reminded me of a ring I purchased in Germany; other pieces reminded me of another designer I saw, also while traveling abroad
I really liked the clean lines & angular tones to their chic, modern, wares & esp this 1 designer who made rings that looked like their stones were floating — V Cool!
Alas, we did not find the ideal piece for this day’s specific event-​quest but just seeing their designers & knowing I had a fondness for them (as witnessed from previous Germany purchases), this would be a shop to which we would come back! A-​OK!

My husband wanted a yellow gold wedding band, which at first made me cringe but that’s because I pictured the traditional boring ones. Stuart Moore has impeccably made rings that are both classic and modern. He knew he would be wearing the ring forever so he better like it was my advice. He tried on a bunch or rings everywhere else and then we came here. I loved the rings, the confort shape makes it a bit edgy and fun yet very elegant and the way they cast them just has a unique feel. He got the brushed finish and I love it. I actually wish my engagement ring was from there, but the good thing settings can always be changed.

I went in and looked at a synthetic opal and sterling silver ring this week. The ring was over a thousand dollars and it was cheaply made. The setting was hollow and they had clearly made it that way to skimp on the silver, which caused the ring to have uncomfortable edges that irritated my fingers. Silver may have gone up quite a bit, but it’s still under $ 50 an ounce and if a ring is 1K you’d better at least ensure it’s well-​made. The salesperson was also on the snotty side. Stuart, I used to like you, and I liked the service and selection at your Newport store back in the ‘oughts.’ What the hell happened? Were the 500 percent margins not enough for you?

I don’t generally write reviews, but I have received more compliments on my new gorgeous engagement ring than I care to admit. I literally got stopped on the street once and a woman asked if she could see my ring!
Ed helped my fiancé pick this ring out and I am certain that had I been there, I would have wanted that same ring. Ed is fantastic! We have since been back to order our wedding rings. I am never shopping at another jewelry store again. Thank you Ed, you and your team made us feel very special.

I have a piece of art on my finger courtesy of Mr. Moore and his excellent goldsmiths.
I can’t imagine having a more stunning, modern, breathtaking engagement ring (we picked out the suspension setting together).
When we got engaged, I didn’t want a ring.
Now I can’t imagine living without it. It was worth every penny.
We have found the service, retail experience, and quality all deserving of five stars.
Thanks Stuart Moore! If only more jewelers were as creative and innovative as you and your team…

Besides the beautiful pieces that adorn the walls and displays of this elegant store there’s another reason to drop your hard earned duckets off here: the people.
Seriously, this is probably the most relaxed and easy going experience I could ever have wished for dealing with the generous and calm individuals of Stuart Moore. In particular my fiancé and I found Aida to be an angel. She educated us, was patient with our indecisiveness and answered all of our questions in a thoughtful manner. Aida, if you read this, big major thanks, as if the hugs weren’t evidence enough of our gratitude and the fact we kept coming back to you like our personal gem sage.
Stuart Moore’s collection is superb. The rings are unusual and quite beautiful. The designs seem to be more about a harmony/​balance between metal and stone rather than a big rock on a small pedestal, which we both liked and appreciated. I’d recommend this shop to anyone in the market for serious finger hardware, just fantastic.

Bump for continuing 5 star service. When we stop in they are always welcoming and more then happy to polish up the ol’ rings (and let me tell you this is no small feat when it comes to my husband’s scratched and banged up band, it is amazing how they restore it to looking new considering the matt finish).
And Ed continues to be a gem among the diamonds.

I’ve admired this storefront for years and have always thought how awesome it would be to receive something sparkly from the Stuart Moore Gallery of Jewelry. I love the simplicity of the displays and the vast windowlines. The staff are very friendly and forthcoming when answering questions and providing information.
During our search for an engagement ring, we hit every jewelry store on Union Street. As soon as I tried on a Stuart Moore design, I was sold. There was no need to go anywhere else. Of course, it did take us many more months to actually proceed. And this worked out well, because the next time we went in, it was none other than THE Stuart Moore who guided us through his process. He went into great detail about his product, his design, and his passion in what he does. He may have thrown back a few before we showed up, but that just added to the fun.
I adore Stuart Moore and am so very happy we got my sparkly from such a wonderful designer/​engineer and his equally wonderful staff.

This is not your typical wedding/​engagement ring store, which made me immediately love Stuart Moore because my whole wedding experience has been nontraditional.
After going into several Union Street jewelery stores that carried the typical unimaginative rings, Stuart Moore was a good change of pace. My fiancée and I both found wedding rings that we both liked.
The staff was very helpful and was low pressure, which I appreciated. I ended up getting my wedding band there and my fiancée really liked one for himself, but couldn’t make up his mind about it, so they let him take it home with him to «try out» and see if he liked how it felt. It’s been two weeks and he still has the ring.
Stuart Moore is high end which equals more expensive than the average store, but if you want great quality, unique design and nontraditional choices, this is the place for you.

Stuart Moore has the most gorgeous modern jewlery. If your girlfriend hankers for a vintage engagement bauble, this would not be the place to procure it. If, though, she loves clean, modern design and settings in platinum and titanium, Stuart Moore is a sure bet.
I love that the selection for both men and women is wide. You’d be hard-​pressed to buy me something here I wouldn’t like.
