Nick diamond and jewelry

Jewelry in New York isn’t hard to find, but finding a jeweler that feels like part of the neighborhood takes a little more looking. Nick Diamond and Jewelry sits at 20w W 47th St #1201, a floor above the usual street-level sparkle, where the trade’s quieter rhythms still hum. They handle everything from custom settings to simple ring sizing, and if you’re after something specific—say, a vintage clasp or a chain that won’t kink—it’s worth calling ahead at (917) 622-8538 to check what’s in stock before making the trip.

The block itself is pure Midtown grit, lined with wholesale dealers and repair shops that have been there for decades. Directions are straightforward: plug the address into your map here and follow the signs past the lunch counters and locksmiths. Once you’re done, the diamond district’s usual hustle is right outside—just don’t expect anyone to slow down for you.
