Freedman Jewelers

Unilocal removed my original review because they said I didn’t give enough details… So here goes round two:
We have been shopping for diamonds now for at least a month and have visited multiple vendors both inside and outside of the jewelry district. We found Freedman to offer the best prices out of everyone for quality stones.
Steve may not have as many unique cut stones (as we were looking for asschers) in stock at the store as other vendors but was more than happy to order a few for us to look at. I definitely suggest you shop around but I recommend shopping Freedmans last as they offer the same quality stones as everyone else for thousands less (no joke we made an excel sheet to comparison shop).
Do your homework and then go see Steve. He’s a little intense but a super nice guy and a straight shooter.

Thank you for a wonderful experience. The team at Freedman Jewelers was critical to helping us find the right engagement ring and wedding bands. We shopped around prior to our visit, and know that the explanations provided here and the transparent pricing and process were uniquely valuable. A family friend recommended this place, so we went. They spent a considerable amount of time with us. We were given clear information to make a decision, and especially for the engagement ring and diamond, this was important to me. There was flexibility around payments, and no one was pushing us to make the sale that day. We are also out of town, and there was flexibility here too, in terms of shipping and setting up future appointments.
We are very excited to be getting married and are very happy with our decision to stop by here, in the jewelry building. This was not a small purchase and I do think it would have been nerve racking giving that much money to a less transparent, reputable business.

First and foremost — she said yes —
The entire team at Freedman Jewelers is amazing, there is no other way to put it. I was thrilled when a friend told me he had an amazing experience getting his ring made there and passed me along to Josh who end to end handled every question I had. The team was able to give me clear information about all aspects of the ring, from stone sizing, to different cuts and the advantages of each style, everything that I didn’t even know I should have known about they helped me understand. And not once over the entire process did I feel pressured or encouraged into making a choice that I was not 100% confident in. I was able to see multiple stones, multiple settings, and combinations in one sitting with ease.
Once I chose the perfect stone it was a seamless process to designing a band and setting to fit it properly to highlight the diamonds brilliance. I do not live in Boston so putting a lot of faith in the experts was a hesitation at first, but I was given daily updates, pictures, and even descriptions of what was going on by phone, text, and email every step of the way.
After the big day the ring was not the perfect size (that was my fault! Not wanting to tip my fiancé off) but the team immediately suggested that I bring it in (send it to them) and they had it back to us within 24 hours! Unbelievable level of service.
I cannot recommend this team more highly — a family business that treated me like family, from the moment I walked into the store I knew I was in good hands. My fiancé and I cannot thank you enough for giving us the best experience possible! Highly recommended — will be sending all of my friends and family here! (looking at you DC!)

My fiancé and I had a great experience purchasing my engagement ring at Freedmans. We had very little knowledge about choosing a diamond but Robert made us feel very comfortable walking us through the process. He was never pushy and always patient. We are thrilled with the beautiful diamond Robert helped us pick out and look forward to returning to Freedmans for our wedding bands.

Freedmans Jewelers was recommended to be by a colleague who said his family has been customers for decades. That’s the kind of referral people want, to know that this place has been helping out you know well for a long time. I went to a ton of places but a strong referral and my overall experience with Freedmans is what led to me choosing them.
Buying and engagement ring: I believed I was really smart about buying an engagement ring, I bought my own diamond off blue nile and thought I was going to make out way better just asking Freedmans to set the stone. While they didn’t say I shouldn’t follow through with my original plan, I was convinced within 2 visits that Freedmans provided much better options for stones. The blue nile stones just had all the same specs and ratings on paper but side by side physically they did not look as good compared to the GIA stones Freedmans provided. I consider it the reason why blue nile stones are slighty cheaper (because they are slightly lower quality)
While Freedmans was agnostic and willing to accommodate any scenario, I ultimately chose one of the many stones they provided and sent my blue nile one back. I had a pretty specific idea of what I wanted for a custom engagement ring and
Robert worked with me custom make that ring idea into reality. He custom created a perfect ring within my budget and worked with me on the pricing. They were very patient the whole time and payed for my parking every visit at their garage.
Most importantly: The end result could not have come out better.
11 months later I asked them to make a matching wedding band, Robert got all of the same matching side stones and same quality and created a perfectly matching custom wedding band. My wife to be loves both her rings and the service and familiarity they offer every time we come in.
I don’t see how anyone could rate a place they haven’t bought from, but talk to an actual customer of freedmans and you will hear great reviews!

A family friend had recommended this jeweler to me for sometime, and I spoke and met with Rob at Freedman Jewelers in my search for an engagement ring last month. From our first conversation, I knew I was talking to a true professional who wasn’t feeding me fluff in any way.
Rob gave me a full breakdown of certified stones, which is something a lot of other jewelers in the area seemed to skip around. He recommended buying only GIA cert stones, and maybe sometimes AGA certs, which after some thorough review since then, I have found is so very important.
After meeting upwards of 10 — 12 jewelers within the Boston area in the last 2 months, I plan on going back to Freedman Jewelers going forward.

About 2 months ago, I went to Freedman Jewelers to purchase an engagement ring for my girlfriend. I had a very specific idea in mind and wanted to make sure that was exactly what I was looking for, as well getting it at a good price. My experience working with Robert Van, who is one of the jewelers there, was better than anything I could have asked for. He has a keen eye for detail and was able to make the ring look better than anything I had thought of. He was also very respectful in helping me work within my budget and getting the best bang or my buck, better than any chain jeweler I had looked at previously. Through out the process, I got regular updates and CAD drawings of what the ring was going to look like. The final product was beautiful and my now fiancé adores it. There are a lot of places to go get an engagement ring, but this store in particular surpasses every other store I looked at before. Overall, I highly recommend going with this jeweler.

I went to freedman jewelers to have my engagement ring resized. Robert was very helpful and responsive both over the phone and in person. My ring was resized and back on my finer in two days, still in perfect shape. Staff was very friendly, personable, and not at all pushy.

I can’t say enough great things about Freedman’s. Not only Did Robert help with making some changes to my engagement ring, I was so happy with the service i brought my fiancé back there to pick out our wedding bands. They didn’t have what i wanted in the selection and he recommended getting a custom made band. At first i thought it would be way above my price range but it was very reasonable! and came out absolutely gorgeous.
Not only was my wedding band everything i asked for, their customer service was just as good! I highly recommend going to Freedman’s and I hope to continue doing business with them in the Future. For me, trust in a jeweler is also a very important aspect and i felt very comfortable doing business here!

She said yes!!!
Service was great, the engagement was a total surprise and I am clueless about diamonds. I needed an engagement ring and I was able to find the perfect one in one afternoon here. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic jeweler! My engagement ring and wedding band both came from Freedman’s. The staff is incredibly friendly, not pushy at all, and just a joy to work with. I highly recommend them – I’ve met most of the crew and they are all just great. Both rings appraised much higher than we paid for them and I always get compliments on my ring. Shop with Freedman’s!

This place is great

When I went engagement ring shopping, I visited three jewelers in Boston. One was Joseph Gann, one was Freedman’s, and one was ADCO Diamonds, each highly rated on Unilocal and google. I had great experiences at the other two jewelers. At Freedman’s within about 5 minutes of sitting down with a salesman, it was clear to both of us that there would be no sale. It was not that he was pushy, but it really felt like I was buying a used car that day. When you go to a jewelery store, one of the most important things is that they make you feel comfortable in the surroundings, and with your purchase. Freedman’s made me feel uncomfortable within just a few minutes. With so many other jewelers in Boston, I don’t see any reason to shop here.

Freedman Jewelers offers an excellent product with the best service I have found in Boston. There staff is very knowledgeable about the products they are selling and extremeley attentive to your needs. This winning combination of quality product and knowledgeable staff has kept me coming back to Freedmans.
Whether you know what you want or know that you want something, you will be sure to find it here for a good price.

I had the same experience as Paul G. when I bought my wife’s engagement ring in June of 2004. I did actually know a little about diamonds going in, I had been looking at rings at a few other places. I worked with Rob (can’t recall his last name) and told him exactly what I was looking for and what price range, and he actually showed me a number of loose diamonds and let me choose the one that fit my budget and had the cut, clarity, color, and carat weight I was looking for. I had the stone set in white gold with sapphire sidestones which I hadn’t picked out, but they turned out to be of very high quality when I picked up the ring (as well as the setting itself). The price was very reasonable, the atmosphere friendly and informative and not pushy at all — as if they actually care about educating their customers and aren’t just after a sale. I highly recommend them.
