Your Edgewater Evening
You were at Haven, the restaurant that Architectural Digest put on its list of the world's most spectacular waterfront dining rooms, and tonight you understood why. The terrace hangs over the Hudson. Manhattan was lit across the river, close enough that you could make out individual windows in the towers along the West Side Highway. Your partner had the branzino. You had the sunset. After dinner, you drove south on River Road, across the George Washington Bridge, and into Brooklyn. Twenty-five minutes. The skyline you had been staring at from the terrace was now behind you. The studio was on a quiet block in Williamsburg, and the shift from the waterfront gloss of Edgewater to the brownstone calm of the neighborhood felt like crossing into a different register. Sue opened the door. The room was small and warm. She placed a pear-shaped diamond on the table and turned it slowly under the light. Your partner leaned forward. The Manhattan skyline through the window at Haven had been beautiful. This was something else.
Rings Our Edgewater Clients Love
These are starting points. Every ring is built to order in our studio. Your stone, your metal, your size. Nothing is pulled from a case.
How to Design Your Engagement Ring Near Edgewater
Whether you start online or visit us in person, every ring at Haejin Jewelry is made to order. There is no inventory to browse, no display case to lean over. You design something that exists nowhere else in the world. Here's how it works.
1. Explore
Start with our online Ring Builder to browse settings, shapes, and metals. Or use our Custom 3D Design tool to build something from scratch. You can also skip straight to a consultation if you'd rather talk it through in person.
2. Consult
Walk in or book a private appointment at our Williamsburg studio, 18 minutes from Edgewater. Sue will sit with you, learn what you're drawn to, and guide you through diamonds, metals, and settings at your pace. Most visits are 30 to 45 minutes. No pressure, no upselling. Bring a mood board or bring nothing at all.
3. Create
Once you've chosen your design, we build it. For custom rings, that means 3D CAD modeling, revisions until every detail is right, and made-to-order production in recycled gold with an IGI-certified lab-grown diamond. Your ring is finished within a few weeks and shipped with free insured delivery. 60-day returns if anything isn't perfect.
Why Edgewater Couples Choose Us
Edgewater gave you the view. Every morning, you see the skyline from your window or your terrace or your gym, and every morning it reminds you that you live twenty minutes from the center of everything without living in the middle of it. You chose this town because it offers proximity without chaos. The Hudson is your front yard. The Palisades are your backyard. You understand the value of something that is close to luxury without being consumed by it. Sue Kim's studio is across the bridge in Williamsburg. No Manhattan rent, no Fifth Avenue markup, no showroom overhead. Lab-grown diamonds certified to the same standard as anything on 47th Street, set in recycled gold, designed in a room with no glass cases and no sales pressure. The ring starts at $1,450. The experience starts with a conversation. The drive is twenty-five minutes, and the bridge is part of it.
Where to Propose Near Edgewater
The Haven terrace at sunset, when the light drops behind the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson turns molten orange. Ask the host for a terrace table on the south end, where the view opens widest. The Palisades Interstate Park overlook at the Alpine lookout, ten minutes north, gives you the opposite perspective: you stand on the cliff and look down at the river from 500 feet. The wind is strong. The silence between gusts is absolute.
What Our Clients Say
"Personal care from an expert jeweler. Sue reached out to me directly, helped me design the ring, helped me pick out a diamond, and negotiated on my behalf. I got a great deal for the size and quality of diamond and it's so beautiful. Honestly couldn't be happier."
"I had no idea what I wanted but Sue helped guide and educate me. She encouraged me to take my time in my decision as it was a big one! I didn't see the final creation until I was proposed to and I was blown away. Truly exactly what I wanted. I am so happy to support a small business in my neighborhood."
"Unlike other places I visited, it was obvious that Sue really cared about finding what was best for us, and not just trying to sell us the most expensive ring possible. If you go with Haejin you absolutely will not regret it and you will receive something better than you ever could've imagined."
"She helped me create the ring of my dreams. Sue involved me in the whole process, so I got to see the stone in person before moving forward, and got a mockup of the design as it was being made. The result is unreal. Local, woman-owned, and realistic pricing...I can't say enough good things about Haejin Jewelry."
"She guided me, explained all the different options, we iterated together to find something which my partner would like and then she manufactured our dream ring for us. Sue is incredibly warm and kind and I can only recommend anyone to go to her. My fiancee immediately said yes and she thinks the ring is 'just perfect.'"
"From the very beginning Sue made the entire experience feel so easy, thoughtful, and personal. She found the most incredible antique elongated cushion stone. Truly the ring I had been searching for my whole life, even in my dreams!! I truly cannot recommend Haejin enough."
