Engagement Rings for South Asian Couples
The ring is never just a ring. It carries the weight of two families finding each other, years of hoping, and the quiet moment when you both knew. Whether your engagement follows a traditional sagai or a private question on a rooftop, the ring you choose should feel like it belongs to your story. Not someone else's template.
Haejin Jewelry. A woman-owned studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Lab-grown diamonds, recycled gold, and the kind of attention your family would expect.
Why Haejin Jewelry
We Understand the Traditions
Sue Kim knows the difference between an engagement ring and a bridal set. She understands the role of gold in South Asian weddings. She won't confuse a mangalsutra with a pendant necklace. Whether you want a modern solitaire or something that honors your family's expectations, she'll work with you to find the right balance.
Lab-Grown Diamonds, Real Value
Same brilliance, same hardness, same IGI certification. Lab-grown diamonds cost 40-60% less than mined stones, which means more room in the budget for the wedding, the reception, or the honeymoon. Every diamond in our studio is conflict-free and ethically sourced.
A Private Studio, Not a Showroom
No crowds, no glass cases, no pressure. Our Williamsburg studio is a quiet, one-on-one space. It's a different experience from the jewelry shops on 74th Street. You sit down with Sue, talk through what you want, and take your time. Your family is welcome too.
Getting Here from Jackson Heights
Our studio is in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. From Jackson Heights, take the 7 train to the L at Union Square, then ride the L to Lorimer Street. It's about 45 minutes door to door. Many of our South Asian clients make the trip because they want something different from the 74th Street shops. Here, you get a private appointment with Sue Kim, the founder and designer. One-on-one, no salespeople, no rush. Every ring is made to order in recycled 14K or 18K gold, set with IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds. Walk-ins are welcome. Private appointments are available.

Every ring is made to order in our Brooklyn studio. Your diamond, your metal, your size. Nothing pulled from a display case.

Frequently Asked Questions
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."
