About

We are a contemporary jewelry boutique, located on Lafayette and Grand Streets in the heart of Soho, proudly offering an eclectic mix of stylishly creative jewelry, ranging from classic to indie, rock & roll to one-of-kind, and couture jewelry for all occasions. With this diverse offering we have cultivated an extensive repeat clientele, remarkably, out of a basement storefront on East 9th Street in NYC's East Village. After ten years underground we are now delightfully sunlit above ground in our new digs in Soho.

Michael Regan and Jennifer O'Sullivan, the team behind Little King, create jewelry with eco-friendly materials and humanistic values and concerns. We are a bridal jewelry destination with something for everyone - specializing in exquisite 21st century heirlooms, jewelry that is uniquely your own.

Michael studied sculpture and jewelry design at Parsons, and with Bulgari's Donald Kaulkin at FIT. As a result he shifts effortlessly between fashion and high-end couture. While working as a bench jeweler to pay for college he earned the "master jeweler" model maker title.

His first series of couture pieces debuted as a collection of exquisitely jeweled men's rings which has since grown into an extensive range of signature pieces from glam rock to sophisticated bridal, all distinctly Little King style.

Jennifer brings the bling… and quite the sparkle to the Little King thing. With over ten years devoted to Little King and a history of providing excellent customer service in a variety of retail outlets over her career, Jen has unquestionably the most refined eye for stones in the downtown NYC market, and facilitates the production process with her client's vision, budget, and deadline at the top of the list.

Little King made beautiful pieces for me and my husband for our wedding. Their work was exquisite and always exactly as described. They are extremely responsive and it's just important to be clear on any personal deadlines you have for your pieces, and to follow up when you are close to your deadline! They are such a pleasure and we always stop in to their store when we are in the area to chat and to see AJ, store mascot.

This fun team of innovative jewelers make unique pieces and will work with you to create anything you want in a tasteful, custom way. Jen and Jen are wonderful and run the front of house, their main designer and jeweler, Mike is talented and very available. I worked with them on a unique suggestion for my wedding band and they delivered exactly what I wanted. Great job, Little King!

Beautiful and unique vintage-inspired and modern jewelry. The staff is super friendly and fun and very talented. My wedding band and wedding day jewelry was just what I wanted, everything was done on time and the work was the highest quality.

I love my bands from Little King. Everything was perfect. I gave 4/5 starts for value because I felt that they were a little expensive, but that may be because the cost of fine metals are so high (as was explained to me)

I am so glad that my husband discovered this fantastic place! They do amazing, custom designs. They were very fun to work with and extremely creative. Unlike a lot of other stores in Manhattan, there is no guilt or pressure for customers with more moderate budgets. However, as one other reviewer noted, sometimes they do take a bit of extra time, so don't wait until the last minute. I loved my engagement ring, and my husband and I are so pleased with our wedding bands!

This is my second piece from Little King, and the ring is beautiful work. The couple who runs the shop is currently working without a home base, so it was a bit of a circus setting up a meeting with them (they got caught in traffic, creating a backlog of clients waiting for them at one little cafe). But they do lovely work and are getting a home base soon.

Jen and Michael worked with us from the months before I got engaged through the months ahead of our wedding. She helped us design a beautiful custom rose gold peach sapphire engagement ring and select a rose gold black diamond band, as well. Finding the perfect peach sapphire took a few months and she was very patient with our constant follow-up calls. They are unlike any other jeweler I've encountered - straightforward, funny and cool. I can't wait to go back for more custom jewelry!

There is noting more special than a customized piece of jewelery - designed specifically for you! My husband created both my engagement ring and wedding ring at Little Kings, and I couldn't be happier. They took his idea and made it reality - with very specialized details to match our personality. Even after we had received the pieces, we decided to make a couple alterations, and it was no problem at all. This company wants to make you happy, and they certainly will! The cost is reasonable, and the designers are very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

They take weeks longer than they say they will - so start early! But they're well worth it - they do unbelievable amazing custom designs!!

Little King is where we found my engagement ring that I'm absolutely in love with, and we also had them custom design my wedding band. Unfortunately they have closed up shop and are no longer doing business.

My engagement ring is a 1.58 ct square sapphire set in palladium. I had them add a few diamonds down the side of the band to catch the light a bit more.

The wedding band is also pallidium and it's diamonds set in a crossover pattern. They are both gorgeous. I went and had both rings appraised and the cost of the engagement ring aligns perfectly with the value, but we were charged about a 300% markup on the wedding band.

The appraiser also noted that when the diamonds were set on the wedding band that the diamonds are not all the same size and some are very loosely set (and to expect some of them to fall out in the near future). This was a bit of a bummer to hear, but I love my set so that's what matters most.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
