Sophie’s Creations

Got my wife a necklace here. She was very happy with it and in turn so am I. However, I think they are a bit pricey, but it is tough to trust a place with cheaper prices on gold and diamonds, but still they are expensive.

As a Fresh Meadows local, I decided to stop in at Sophie’s Creations to inquire about options for a sentimental family diamond. I found Madeline and her mother to be immediately attentive, knowledgeable and helpful in sorting out what to do. They also gave me a great review on diamond specs and ideas for a non-​traditional engagement ring and offered great value… the staff was friendly and the facility is quite beautiful with amazing pieces. I will be coming back to create a custom ring with them!

I came to Sophie’s at s friend’s recommendation to add stones to my engagement ring and could not be happier I did. Sasha was charming and extremely helpful. He found 2 matching emerald cut diamonds for me that complemented my stone perfectly and then listened carefully to my style wants. Never rushed our decision and counseled us to do the right thing, which wasn’t the most expensive option on the table. He was very responsive and didn’t charge to size my wedding band or to lower the engagement ring setting. Ring is gorgeous. I also think the jewelry in their store is great and fairly priced. I bought sapphire drop earrings that I had been eyeing since first visit and price was great. I will be back! Well worth the trip from TriBeCa!

I came to Sophies heartbroken, because the shank of my engagement ring had cracked. I also wanted it fixed in 2 days for a special occasion. Everyone was professional and courteous. They did the perfect job, and rushed it so I would have it on time, at a fair price. Everyone, including the owner and the jeweler took the time to explain what they were going to do to make me happy. They have gorgeous jewelry and do excellent repairs!

I went to this store on a friend recommendation to transform my engagement ring and eternity ring in one new ring. They told me right away my engagement ring diamond was 1.02 HSI1 round and it was initially a D VS2 1.14 carat bought in fortunoff GIA certified (I had the certificate with me). What happened is a broken prong of my platinum engagement ring was fixed 10 years ago on 47^th street by a business owned by religious people from my community and that was the only time my engagement ring was out of my hand and sight. Conclusion: they switched the stone on 47^th street! I was horrified. In contrast Sophie’s is a wonderful jewelry store where they have stunning semi precious stones such as corundrum, pink Quartz, amethyst, rutilated quartz, citrine, chalcedony agate carnelian you name it exquisitely set with diamonds and for a very reasonable price and they are lovely and knowledgeable non pushy salespersons to guide you in your purchase.
Their engagement rings and diamonds are also fairly priced. I will go back to this store anytime I will need to buy jewelry. Avoid 47^th street at all cost unless you know for sure who you are dealing with.

My fiancé’s family has been going to Sophie’s for over 10 years so they were highly recommended to us when we went looking for a new setting for my engagement ring. I spoke with Sasha and Sophie and they were extremely helpful. They talked to you about your style, your budget and answered all my questions. Sometimes when I asked for something that I wanted to do, Sasha would explain why it wouldn’t look good together with this wedding band. I never felt pressured to buy anything and I never felt rushed through the store. I went back about 5 times before I finally made a decision. I visited about 20 different jewelery stores in manhattan, queens and long island (no exaggeration) but in the end I came back to Sophie’s not just because they had the best customer service but also because they had the most beautiful setting of all that I had seen. I also felt like I was paying fair market value for it. I didn’t feel like they would cheat me on price or quality. This is really a family-​owned, trusted neighborhood jewelry store and you can tell they take pride in their knowledge of jewelry and selection. They can also design just about anything you want. I love my new engagement ring and I get a TON of compliments on it everyday because it’s so unique yet classic. I would highly recommend Sophie’s as a trusted local jeweler.

My husband and I have used Sophie and her family’s business to buy our jewelry since we moved to Fresh Meadows in 1989 and since we moved away to Great Neck. I think every piece of important jewelry I own is from Sophie’s. I have also had my rings, including my engagement ring resized there when my weight has fluctuated after pregnancies, etc. and the workmanship was perfect. The quality of the jewelry is magnificent. I have purchased anything from small pieces for my son’s to give to their girlfriends for birthdays to large extravagant pieces for myself or very dear friends for gifts. The range in selection is tremendous and Sophie’s prices are fair, not cheap, but fair. The gemstones are top quality and the settings are beautiful. My husband has even worked with Sophie to design a gorgeous tourmaline ring, earrings and necklace after my second son was born that people stop me on the street to admire and I have never seen anything like it. As far as I’m concerned, I never need anywhere else to shop. I see that there was one negative review and I can only imagine that this had to be a very rare experience and she should give the store another chance.

Gentleman, if you are looking for an engagement ring… you must go here!!!
I was recommended by a family friend when I started to shop around for an engagement ring. Unfortunately, I did not start my search with Sophie’s Creations, as I would’ve saved myself a ton of time, confusion and frustration.
After walking in and taking a look around, I knew I had come to the right place. The store is immaculate with an array of stunning jewelry and a very friendly staff.
Sophie spent well over an hour and a half with me educating me on the various styles of diamonds, and the most important aspect of the «C’s» when looking for the «perfect» stone that fits into your budget. We looked at many stones and paired them with what felt like a million settings, and not once did she show any signs of annoyance and frustration with my indecision. When I left the store without making my decision, all I could think of was her generosity and kindness for sitting with me and helping me with the most important and nerve-​racking decision of my life up until now. For all Sophie knew, I was just another indecisive bachelor that could end up buying somewhere else.
In the end, I went with my «perfect» stone and «perfect» setting with the help of Sophie and her daughter Madeline. The fairytale ending to this review is that my girlfriend (now fiancé) said YES and was blown away by the RING! She’s gotten a million compliments, and a month later is still beaming with happiness.
Thank you Sophie and all the staff at Sophie’s Creations for an amazing experience!!!

I had an AWFUL experience here.
I went under a recommendation, when I asked a friend where I can get my wedding band fixed because a small diamond fell out. She mentioned Sophie’s and it was near by so I went. My first time in everyone who worked there seemed a little cold and no one really wanted to help me even though the store was empty. (Maybe it was because I didn’t speak Russian)
Finally I tell the lady what happened and she said «fine, no problem we can fix it and you’ll have it in a week» I over payed but it was more convenient to just get it done.
I come back to pick up my ring and it was mangled, heart broken I complain to the manager (Sophie herself) and she just tells me that what I am saying does not make any sense and she was just extremely rude! Then when her partner realized how she was handling it he stepped in and talked to me like an adult and not a child. I liked how he handled things and I got a refund after he took out the diamond they used. My ring however now has a missing diamond and looks like a dog chewed on it.
I am still very upset with the service and how I was treated at Sophie’s, I would not recommend anyone to go here unless you like being treated like you are two and having things said behind your back (but really to your face) just in russian.
