Joe and his staff are by far some of the most awesome people that I have worked with. They were able to get me exactly what I wanted from my wife at a better price than anyone else. I wouldn't even think twice of going to another place for any of my jewelry or watch needs. Do yourself a favor and go see them before you pull the trigger somewhere else.

I was in the market for a unique, hard to find watch and simultaneously sell one of my currently owned watches. Joe at West Essex Jewelers arranged everything for me. He had the connections and quite frankly the patience to deal with me. He was intent on getting me the right deal and finding what I need. He handled the process with care, thoughtfulness, persistence and most importantly transparency. I will definitely do more business with the team at West Essex and recommend everyone does the same. Thanks team! Bryan

My family has been going to this jeweler for 40 years. The staff is always friendly & they stand behind the products they sell. Reasonable prices & their jewelry repair is excellent. I recently had my wedding rings sized & the shanks replaced, the jeweler did a fantastic job, they look better than new!

Absolutely the best service by Joe and his entire staff!. I would highly recommend going here to grab something for yourself ( like I did) or for someone special. It did not take me long to find what I wanted and the prices were affordable.!

I have been using West Essex Jewelers for 40 years for birthday, anniversary, and holiday presents and I have not been disappointed once. The salespeople are always helpful and never pushy. They stand behind their products, too, replacing a watch band that broke (prematurely I thought) without a question. I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality, unique piece of jewelry.

Working with and purchasing jewelry from West Essex Jewelers was a very pleasant experience for my wife and me. Their staff, mainly Virginia, was so very helpful throughout the process and was instrumental in helping design a beautiful necklace for my wife. We were both very pleased. A great experience!

I've been shopping here for years. Recently, I purchased an eternity band from West Essex Jewelers. After only a few months some of the diamonds fell out of the ring. Joe stood behind his product and replaced the diamonds at no charge. Amazing Customer Service! Great selection! Thank you Joe and team!

Never disappointed. I've been stopping in a West Essex Jewelers for many years. My wife and I needed a charm bracelet for our granddaughter's 8th birthday. My wife puttered around the Internet for about an hour and said she didn't find anything of interest. We both looked at each other and said, "West Essex Jewelers." Although I no longer live in the area, I made the trip and within 5 minutes of entering the shop, I found exactly what we were looking for. 10 minutes after that, I was on my way with a beautiful charm bracelet in a beautifully wrapped package.

There is a reason why West Essex Jeweler has been leading the industry for 44 years. Joe and his all-star team provided me the care and utmost professionalism to deliver this stunning engagement ring for my fiance at a very competitive cost. I would like to specifically thank Geri for all her time and considerable effort helping me through the process of finding the perfect Parti sapphire and complimenting it with a gorgeous band that really makes the stone pop. This is not my first purchase here and far from my last I highly recommend this outfit to anyone looking for that special something for their loved one. Thank you.

I had a great experience at West Essex Jewelers. Joe spent time explaining what I needed to know about my jewelry and all the options I had. He didn't rush the conversation and ensured I understood everything. This is very unlike any other jewelry store I've been to. I highly recommend West Essex jewelers and will definitely be going back.
