Jewelry & Precious Stones

The Diamond District MIDTOWN This is the heart of the city’s diamond trade, although many merchants deal in semiprecious stones, too. If you know your four C’s, it’s a great place to get a deal on diamonds; if you don’t, stick to window-shopping. Most shops open Monday to Friday only. 47th St. (btw. Fifth and Sixth aves.). Subway: B/D/F/M to Rockefeller Center.

★★ Lunessa SOHO The fun of shopping here isn’t just finding great jewelry (though they do have that). It’s going to the “gem bar” and creating your own glam look on the spot. 100 Thompson St. (near Prince St.). www.lunessacom. ☎ 917/305-0510. AE, MC, V. Subway: N, R to Prince St.

★ Pippin Vintage Jewelry CHELSEA From stately pearls to funky Bakelite, this gem of a shop carries it all. Also check out Pippin Home, a small shop selling antiques and home furnishings, behind the jewelry store. 112 W. 17th St. (btw. Sixth and Seventh aves.). www.pippinvintage.com. ☎ 212/505-5159. AE, MC, V. Subway: A/E to 14th St.

★★ Tiffany & Co. MIDTOWN Deservedly famous, this iconic multilevel store carries jewelry, watches, tableware, and stemware, and a variety of gift items. Love the silver yo-yo! 727 Fifth Ave. (at 57th St.). www.tiffany.com. ☎ 212/755-8000. AE, DC, DISC, MC, V. Subway: N/R to Fifth Ave.

AE, DC, DISC. Subway: 4/5/6/L/N/Q/R to Union Sq.
