My second wedding, his first. Both St. Louis natives and know what's out there. Had a couple of bad experiences, and know of others from friends and family.
Mavrik is the ONLY jewelry store we will ever use now. THe owner is honest, friendly and knows his stuff
No one could match his prices. And there's no fake sales.
We got our rings (her engagement ring and both of our wedding bands) from Igal last summer, and my wife offered to put a review on Citysearch for him. We are just now getting around to it - sorry.
Everything about our experience was perfect. Igal really knows fine jewelry, and is glad to share his expertise w/o making you feel like you HAVE to buy from him. We drove him nuts with questions,...
Wife only wanted 1 thing for xmas - diamond studs. (she has czs now.)
I live in Chesterfield - went to 5 stores, jewlry & dept. Mavrik had biggest selection of good quality stones, not the junk at the chain stores.
She is expecting half carat each earring, I was able to get her almost a full carat each.
Great store, best prices. Really liked the sales person Diane (Diana?). Knew her s...
omg. so cool & so nice! Store is in Kirkwood right near Bar Louis. amazing diamonds and designs.
My sister bought a watch for her husband and I finally found where i want to get my engagement ring from. They have sooo many designs and big diamonds. We can't get a real big diamond but its real fun to look.
Diana helped us and she was awesome.
My fiance and I have looked at wedding bands for a couple of months. (For me) Never saw much that was very intresting. They all look too fancy or like her ring. This store had a big selection of rings in unusual metals, also in silver or gold but we got a ring made from titanium. Its not real shiny, has a sort of brushed surface with a darker edge.
Price was very good too. Nice store, friend...
Birthday money to spend and thought I knew exactly what I wanted, and would never have looked at black diamonds. But they are so beautiful! I got a black diamond necklace that is the coolest piece of jewelry I have ever owned. Next birthday or Christmas I'm getting the earrings to match.
They also have incredible engagement rings, too.
We were looking for a diamond band to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It had to go with my engagement ring and not be over our budget.
Igal Alon is the designer and owner of this store. He sketched a ring design while we watched, asking about my habits, lifestyle, and so forth. (He even noted that I was petite...just one more reason to think he's awesome!)
The ring is stunning! I've onl...
Didn't see these reviews until after we found Mavrik. Such a cool store! Within our budget - that was a nice surprise, 'cause we went in on a whim.
Found at least three rings I like....the owner is going to combine different parts from each ring and make my ring exactly the way I want it. If it's not just right, he will change things, too. Really awesome store. You'll love it!
We looked at rings a little bit, not much. Matt went here without me, cause his roommate went here. He picked out a ring from the case, but the owner was super nice and said we could come in later and get exactly what I wanted.
Didn't have to do that because I just love my ring! Mavrik will even redesign a stock ring to fit your finger - like if you're very tiny, or have long fingers. Or t...
Store looks super upscale, have to ring to get in. But its friendly and the owner is great. Helpful and answers all questions. We had an appt. but you don't have to. If you have one, you'll get as much time as you need with him tho.
Ordered her ring, getting mine when I pick up. Really recommend this store.
The only place we looked. Checked their website, saw what I wanted. Got it in one week, sized, perfect.
I LOVE THIS STORE!!!!!!!
We've been looking at rings for at least two months. It was so depressing - couldn't find anything unusual in our price range.
At Mavrik I couldn't pick which ring I liked the best - the choices are great. They do custom work, but I liked a setting they had in the store. Never seen anythng like it
I love my ring!!
Had a ring my dad gave my mom. Center diamond fell out - found it and took the stone and the ring back to the mall jeweler where purchased. They would not honor the warranty because my mom hadn't had the ring checked by them over the years, AND they wanted $2000 to replace the small center diamond (less than half a carat)
The owner of Mavrik replaced the center diamond for less than half th...
My girlfriend thinks shopping is fun. I don't. But we ate lunch in Kirkwood back in May and went for a walk. Found this store across the street from Kirkkwood Bar Louie. She dragged me in. The guy that works there (the owner?) is very cool. Really knows what he's talking about, doesn't mind talking even if you're just looking. She loved everything in the store, and it's pretty reasonable.

Honestly, tired of looking at diamonds and listening to sales pitches. But its important to my fiance that we check out everything. Her dad knows someone who went to Mavrik in Kirkwood, and the reviews here convinced us to give it a try. We are buying a smaller diamond, just over one half carat. It is a high quality stone, with good color and clarity. We are confident that the owner at Mavrik...
We just started looking. Haven't bought yet. Have been to just three stores, but this one is the best so far. Lots of diamonds (loose stones) and really unusual settings.
Was a little nervous that you have to ring the bell to go in. Thought it would be really snooty and unfriendly. It was not like that at all. People are friendly and we got lots of attention.
Haven't bought my ring...
Got my ring on Valentines Day. Promised to write a review and forgot :(
Igal is the best, the best, the best. We got an amazing stone - almost 2 carats and everyone thinks it is 2 carats. Never thought we could afford that after we looked at other stores. My band is white gold, very simple. My ring just gets so much attention! Found this store because of my cousin. SO GLAD, because we alm...
I wanted princess-cut diamond studs, and I wanted each diamond earring to be over one carat. I got an amazing deal at Mavrik, and I was very happy with the knowledge and service I received too. Igal knows so much about diamonds, and he really enjoys sharing his knowledge with you. He didn't pressure me AT ALL!
My new diamond earrings are just over 1 1/4 carats each. The color and clarity a...
We went shopping for a radiant cut diamond, and Mavrik had some beautiful choices, but we ended up with a gorgeous diamond I had never heard of, called an "Ascher" (sp?) cut. It's just awesome, awesome, awesome. I love my ring so much and everybody notices it all the time - and it's not a great big stone - just under one carat. But it's so pretty and unusual - LOVE this stoer and the designer...
I looked at many stores in St. Louis for a diamond bracelet. Started with mall chain stores and everythng looked the same. Salespeople had diff. spiels and didnt seem real knowledgable, just like they had a script. Small independent jewelers had better information and more informed people. Of these, I like Igal Alon at Mavrik the best. He's super-friendly and low pressure - no pressure, really. J...
We had a fabulous experience at Mavrik - recommended by my aunt. We thought we wouldn't be able to afford it - but we bought a bigger diamond than we were originally shopping for.
We drove over 100 miles to come to this store, after reading about it on CitySearch. Definitely worth the trip! My fiance is so excited because we were able to get exactly the shape and size diamond she has always wanted. The prices were good and the owner is very helpful about explaining the different stones and quality and so forth. He is making our wedding bands too.
I had never heard of colored diamonds before! They are so awesome and this store has a ring with a big white diamond in the center, surrounded by yellow diamonds, even down the sides. That?s the ring we went to see after I saw it online and now we are going to have my engagement ring custom made so its very much like that, but sized for my hand. The owner is so nice and knows so much. He answe...
Highly recommend this store and the owner, Igal. I had lots of questions, and he knew just what to do. He also knew to ask questions I would not have thought of. His prices are very fair and the selection of loose diamonds and different settings is very good. I felt very comfortable that I was getting accurate info and a fair deal.
The best , most gorgeous engagement rings in St. Louis! No contest!!
My one-carat diamond looks much bigger and my ring is incredible :o)
Most beautiful loose diamonds in St. Louis. We were looking for a one-carat princess and found exactly what we wanted at a very good price. This store has the best collection of stones anywhere in town. The owner takes lots of time and answers questions with real info, no pressure or BS.
We had our rings custom made and it was not real expensive. (About the same price as rings we looked at in a couple of mall jewelrystores.)Its very cool that nobody else will ever have the same engagement or wedding bands.
The rings were ready quickly (we had a tight schedule) and turned out just the way we wanted them to.
This is a follow-up to our earlier review. We went to a few other stores (two independent, a couple of chain stores) and we came back to Mavrik. Mostly because we liked the selection and the opportunity to make my ring really custom. Some other places said they could do that, but they really just mean you can pick you diamond and pick your setting from their catalogue of settings. Igal (the o...
My new favorite store! Came here with my Mom to look for a (late) graduation present. We spent over an hour just chatting with the owner (very nice!) and she bought me a bracelet, and ended up buying earrings for herself, too! This store has incredible diamonds ? especially the loose stones.
Really fun place to shop!!! Kind of hard to find - it faces Madison, across from the flags and the f...
The most fun you can have in a store! Jewlery is amazing, the black diamonds are reallygorgeous. I think this is the best jewelry store in St. Louis. It's luxurious and friendly at the same time.
Their specialty is loose diamonds and custom designs. It sounds expensive, but we thought the prices were very fair. And the selection is incredible.
We went to seven jewelry stores in St. Louis looking for my engagement ring. Three mall stores (yech, they all have the same thing) and four small, independent jewelers. Mavrik was the last one, and I wish we had come here first.
The store is beautiful, and the selection is great. The owner, Igal, is always there, and he takes lots of time with every customer. There's no pressure, he answer...
I bought my wife?s birthday gift from Mavrik. She wanted a diamond necklace with a pear shaped stone and I didn?t have any luck with any other jewelry store in St. Louis. (I went to four.)
The owner of Mavrik really understands diamonds and has a very nice selection. He had exactly what my wife wanted (the diamond was bigger than I thought we'd be able to get), in stock, and the necklace wa...
My diamond is so much bigger than I thought it would be! Everybody asks me how we could afford it. I love the setting and I love the wedding bands we have picked out too. This was the 1st place we looked for an engagement ring and we only went one other place and came back to Mavrik.
We looked everywhere for a large (more than two carats) radiant cut diamond. Nobody in St. Louis had anything even close. But Mavrik has a huge inventory, and they had exactly what we wanted, and less than I expected to pay. (We ended up with a 3-carat in our budget) Her ring is fabulous and she?s always showing it off.
I can?t imagine going anywhere else. Easy to get to, too ? in downtown ...
My fiancee and I worked with Igal for almost four hours total. She was so happy with his ideas and she loves her ring. (What a relief!) Awesome store, really nice guy. We recommend Mavrik to everyone. Prices were very fair too.
I travel to Chicago and Atlanta at least four times a year, and I?m always looking at jewelry. I?ve never seen custom jewelry like the designs at Mavrik ? anywhere! St. Louis is lucky to have this great store. I?ve bought two pair of earrings and a gold & diamond bracelet.
They have an amazing collection of loose diamonds - larger stones like four and five carats that usually have to be o...
If you love diamonds, you gotta see this store. Every shape imagineable and large stones too ? hard to find in St. Louis. We got an anniversary ring here and its really beautiful! The diamonds were very reasonable and we were able to get larger stones than we thought we could afford.
My fiance surprised me with a ring from Mavrik. I thought I wanted to pick out my ring, but I am very happy! Igal Alon made it from my fiance?s suggestions and ideas, and it is so perfect. We?re going to buy our weddng bands here too.
Sometimes jewelry stores can be stuffy and unfriendly. Mavrik is a beautiful store, and Igal is very friendly. It's not pretentious and there's no pressure.
Igal - Mavrik's owner - is amazing. We went there because my friend went there to have a ring remade that she got from her Mom. They have so many diamonds and settings to choose from! Different from anything we saw anywhere else, and very fair prices. I picked a setting I liked, and Igal changed the design just a little bit to match the size of my hand a little better. The ring was custom mad...
I inherited a ring from my Mom and the owner of Mavrik remade it for me -- it's so beautiful! Exactly what I wanted and the price was very reasonable. You'll love this place!
What an incredibly nice experience! Igal (the owner) personally spent lots of time with us, very patient. Asked the right questions and really listened, no pressure. He designed my custom-made engagement ring - I love that I will never see it one any one else's hand. (We looked at mall jewelry stores and catalogs. Everything looked the same.) It was very reasonable, too. Custom made sound...
I was searching for a unique wedding ring, and after looking at several stores (both national & local), we found it here. They have designs you won't find anywhere else and excellent, friendly customer service. Their warranty & guarantees match/exceed those of other jewelers also. So if you want to escape the cookie cutter designs & styles you find in national chain jewelers, I highly recommend M...
Large selection of loose diamonds , i got my unique custom engagement ring
LOVE'in IT!
Thanks
Jennifer
Mavrik's custom design is fabulous. The ring I had made is one of a kind. They have great one on one customer service from start to finish. All my worries in being a first time diamond buyer were definitely covered. Best deal I could find, and definitely the most amazing looks.
