The website also features a comprehensive education section, where you can learn everything you need to know about buying a diamond, including cut, color, and size.

The Store – H.L. Gross & Bro. Jewelers

Unlike many other online jewelers, Since 1910 actually started as a bricks and mortar store before moving online. Located in Garden City, NY named H.L. Gross & Bro. Jewelers.

Within the store, there’s three GIA Graduate Gemologists as well as a jewelry manufacturing and repair facility.  This means that, as well as viewing the rings and diamonds online, you can also see them face to face.

The Designs

One of Since 1910’s main selling points is that it stocks a huge range of engagement rings and wedding rings, including solitaire rings, three stone rings, and eternity rings.

In addition to their own designs, Since 1910 is also an authorized dealer for many top bridal designers, such as Tacori, Scott Kay, Vatche, Verragio, Henri Daussi, Martin Flyer, and more.

Custom Designs

The brand also offers a custom ring facility, where you can choose from over 30,000 diamonds, all of which have been fully certified by the GIA. The brand’s huge range of diamonds includes round, princess, cushion, emerald, radiant, asscher, oval, pear, marquise, and heart shaped cuts.

The process is simple and straightforward and can begin by selecting either a setting or diamond, in line with your personal preferences.

The Quality

Members of the prestigious American Gem Society, Since 1910 must adhere to their strict guidelines when it comes to business practices and professionalism. They are also members of the GIA, Jewelers Viligance Committee, The Retail Jewelers of America, and The New York State Jewelers Association.

Testament to their commitment to delivering the highest possible quality, all of the engagement and wedding rings sold by Since 1910 contain diamonds with clarity of FL to SI2. Unlike many jewelers, they do not sell I1-I3 clarity diamonds, which have visible flaws.

The Value

Having built strong relationships dating back over 50 years with the world’s largest diamond suppliers, Since 1910 purchases diamonds direct from the source – eliminating the middleman and passing those savings onto their customers.

Since 1910 guarantees the lowest prices in the market place and offers a price match promise to back this up – vowing to beat any advertised price on any item they carry, including diamonds and engagement rings.

The Bottom Line

Since 1910 offers a huge collection of wedding and engagement rings, including designs from many of the industry’s top designer names. In addition to this, as well as their comprehensive, user-friendly website, the brand also boats its own dedicated bricks and mortar store.
