A visit to the Leviev store in NYC

[Madam Bijoux]

Their diamonds are outstanding!
The showroom is very small, but everything in it is amazing. Most of the diamonds were pears, and I couldn''t see an inclusion or a bow tie in any of them. They had some beautiful pinks and yellows, although I still think Graff has the best fancy colors. If I were Harry Winston Van Cleef, I would be worried.

Another very high-end jewelry store will be opening across the street from Leviev soon, but my spy can''t find out which store it will be.

Sounds like fun! Did you try anything on?

Sure..., Graff has a much longer track record!!! Just look at the Historic Diamonds that went through his hands

.

But I must admit that Leviev has done nicely for the short time he''s been around..., and knowing him..., he will do everything he can to surpass them all!!!

Time will be the only judge

Hi, Lumpkin! I didn''t try anything on, but it was great fun to see everything. None of the colorless diamonds in the rings and earrings were under 5 carats. All of the fancy colors were 3 carats or more.

Thanks for the info, Madam Bijoux! I remembered that on the 19th you and Harriet(?) were going to visit the Leviev store and wondered if you''d had the audacity to take your newly purchased (?) iPhone and grab a few pictures, lol.

Does the store have a website where one who is so inclined could drool at leisure???

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Hi, Isaku5! Unfortunately, I didn''t catch up with Harriet. Leviev has a website, but I think you need a flash player to see it: http://www.leviev.com/
(I haven''t bought the iPhone yet - still just playing with them whenever I''m in an Apple store. My old analog phone will work until Feb.18.)

The east west oval ring on there was TDF. I prefer his version of the cushion with a pave halo to HW''s. And ALL of the necklaces had me gasping.

The showroom looks lovely too. Love the pink and brown combo.

So they aren''t open on Sunday''s then? Too bad.
