R Wholesale Diamond Jewels

Across East 59th, R Wholesale Diamond Jewels keeps its doors open for buyers and designers alike. The outfit sits at 318 E 59th St, New York, NY 10022 — a quiet stretch that stays busy with trade traffic. Inventory runs beyond loose stones to finished pieces, settings, and estate jewelry pieces ready for resizing or redesign. Casting and laser welding sit in the back half of their services, plus stone-setting for clients who want repairs kept under one roof.

Elsewhere they stock tooling, findings, and laser-focused equipment so small workshops don’t walk empty-handed. Soldering supplies share shelf space with polishing wheels, and custom boxes arrive weekly for same-day pickup. One phone call puts a rush order in motion if the stock isn’t already on the shelf: call (212) 308-0200. Drop-ins get a floor catalog while regulars text ahead to reserve trays before arrival.

Walk east two blocks from the 59th St subway exit and the storefront is hard to miss. The neighborhood’s mix of garment houses and design studios keeps the block humming; installations of local art rotate in the foyer window, a small echo of the creative energy creeping north. Inside, the pace stays transactional—prices noted on tags, loupe inspections welcomed.

The simplest route is through the maps link; queue the route before you leave the office. Handy that Manhattan’s grid hasn’t changed east of Fifth.
