Derek Simpson is a master craftsman and a stellar person. His store, the designs and jewelry are breathtakingly beautiful. New Haven is lucky to have him. I can't say enough nice things.

LOVE Gene and LOVE Derek's designs. I have one of his creations as my engagement ring and recently moved, but I can't find anyone as good as him and want to go back for our other wedding jewelry! I wouldn't feel bad never setting foot in any other jewelry shop.

This shop is absolutely amazing! Everyone who works there is so friendly and their quality of work is unmatched. I brought my wedding band to have resized and they pointed out some flaws in it and fixed them and resized it so fast. This has been one of the best jeweler shop experiences I’ve ever had and I cannot wait to give them more business.

We wanted to use my fiance's grandparents' wedding bands for our wedding, but they needed resizing, new stones, and general refurbishment - they were in pretty bad shape. It took a while, but we just got them back and they completely exceeded our expectations. The rings look gorgeous and brand new, and the stones that they found look *amazing.* The staff obviously take great pride in their work, and for a good reason!

My husband designed my engagement ring (from a family stone I already had) and decided to have the setting custom-made by Derek Simpson. Working with Gene and Derek went so well, and we were both immensely satisfied with the final result. We were excited to also get our wedding bands made by Derek, using the same materials as my engagement ring. We chose very simple bands and absolutely love them! The service we received from Gene and Lisa was impeccable, especially considering that we never lived in New Haven while we worked with them, but everywhere from Virginia, New York, and Quebec! I definitely recommend Derek Simpson Goldsmith!

We are so in love with Derek Simpson! We bought our engagement/wedding rings here and had a lovely experience with the whole staff, from start to finish. We first came with very little idea of what we were looking for, and we were guided through an array of possibilities for an engagement ring setting. We e-mailed in some photos of rings we liked, and ultimately, Derek created a ring for us with petal-like prongs with individual small diamonds set in each petal. It looks traditional from the top but has unique detail when you look closely - exactly what we wanted. We also purchased my husband’s wedding ring there, and for my wedding band we used an old family ring, but they cleaned it up for us just to be nice. We were so happy with the rings themselves, and we also just loved everyone who works there enough that we kept visiting - even after our wedding, just to say hi and thank you!

My fiancé worked with Derek to design my engagement ring and it is honestly the most beautiful thing I own. They (without consulting me) managed to make something that fit my style perfectly. It is so well crafted and so comfortable. It looks and feels delicate but I can tell it was built to last. Eliot talks fondly about the design process - I know he fully trusted Derek and had a fun time working with him. We are going back to him for our wedding bands!
