    My husband and I have lived in Brooklyn for many years, and had our wedding in Park Slope. We love Clay Pot and went there to look at rings; we were told their Manhattan location has many more options, and that's where we ended up buying both of our rings from. There is a beautiful selection and very helpful workers, and they even gave us glasses of champagne after we decided on our rings! What we loved most is that we could learn about the individual artisans that make the rings, and it felt like a much more intimate process we knew it was a real person on the other end making it -- never mass produced!

    I am so happy that I bought my wedding band at The Clay Pot! I was focused on getting an ethically sourced ring and that really narrowed down my options, but at The Clay Pot thy have lots to choose from! I ended up choosing a beautiful platinum diamond and saphire band that was completely different from everything I had seen. They were also have a 15% off sale which was AWESOME! Nicest people, amazing selection, and I'm hoping to get future jewelry from them!

    My husband bought his wedding band here. He was somewhat picky about his ring, but The Clay Pot had a wide selection of styles and materials most of which are from independent designers. They were patient and helpful in picking out styles my husband might like. When we ordered the ring, it ring arrived on time and to spec.

    If you're looking for something a little different from your traditional wedding band, I recommend The Clay Pot.

    The Clay Pot's reply:

    JC- Thanks so much for the kind words! We are thrilled that you were happy with your purchase and that you took the time to share your experience.

    The ladies at the Clay Pot took very good care of my husband (then fiancé) and I during the process of picking out an engagement ring and then wedding bands! I had my heart set on Megan Thorne rings and they communicated with her directly what I wanted - very helpful! I would recommend their services to anyone looking for unique rings that don't look mass produced and stereotypical!

    I cannot say enough good things about The Clay Pot. I have lived in the neighborhood where they are located for years and am so happy to say they are my neighborhood jewelry store. We got our engagement and wedding rings here and the service was amazing from start to finish. Never any pressure to buy or upselling, they just watched and listened carefully and showed us options and waited for us to discover the right rings for us. I had a funny thing happen actually where the ring my fiance wanted was sold to someone else. The Clay Pot's staff reassured me that everything happens for a reason and got straight to work with the designer in having new stones sent to the store for me to review. Imagine my surprise when they called me a week later to say the ring had been returned! The intended recipient had accepted the proposal but wanted a different ring! Hooray for all of us, and kudos to the Clay Pot for handling the whole thing beautifully. I will continue to shop there for all of my gift and jewelry needs.

    We love our wedding bands, and my engagement ring from The Clay Pot. Their jewelry is unique and we found rings that fit our style perfectly. Their website is very helpful and customer service at the store is great. Every time I go in they clean my ring(s) for free.

    I can't say enough about Clay Pot. We got my engagement and both of our wedding bands here. Service was lovely but not fussy (just how I like it). Prices reflect the high quality of the pieces of jewelry (which are often hand-made by a jeweler in his or her own studio and then shipped to the shop to be picked up). I have gone in a few times to have the matte finish put back on my ring, and each time the service has been free of charge. I love my rings and feel good supporting local jewelers.

    The Clay Pot was great to work with and we got a ring that she is still extremely happy with. I went in with an idea of what i was looking for and the staff pointed me in the right direction. Couldn't be happier.

    They were really nice, totally queer friendly, patient and the selection was gorgeous. I am getting my rings re-sized by the actual artist, free of charge. Ferron was warm and helpful.

    We had a great experience using Clay Pot for our wedding rings! We went in several times before deciding on bands, and the salespeople were very patient during the selection process. We got our bands in plenty of time, and they turned out beautifully.

    We LOVE our wedding bands! We visited a few other shops before Clay Pot, but it was obvious from the moment we tried on the two Larry Pauling rings we ended up purchasing that these were the rings we'd wear forever. Jenny could not have been more helpful / un-pushy. Our friends rec'd Clay Pot to us, and we would rec Clay Pot to other friends a thousand times over.

    We purchased our wedding rings from The Clay Pot in Brooklyn. We happened in over Labor Day weekend when they were having at 15% off sale (take note!). Even though we weren't ready to buy that day, they honored the discount for us when we came back the following week to place an order. They worked with us to find the rings we liked and took the time we needed to feel secure in our purchases. The staff was knowledgable not only about the rings but also about the jewelers who make them.

    I took off a star for responsiveness because when we went in to pick up our rings they couldn't find them and we had to wait a few minutes, but they showed up. There was also about a 10 minute wait to see a staff member every time we went in (perusing, ordering, trying on, resizing, total of 4 visits.)

    I ended up going with a vintage engagement ring and wedding band, but my husband bought his band at this Park Slope wedding ring depot.

    We visited together twice and both times we received excellent customer service: first from Sarah, and then from Jenny. Sarah helped us quickly narrow down their vast selection into one or two choices for each of us. She listened to what we [thought we] wanted, and then made suggestions. She helped me choose two beautiful rings that would complement my engagement ring, and she helped my husband choose a metal, shape, and size that he was comfortable with. They both followed up with us without delay about pricing, rush and special orders.

    Wedding planning was decision overload for me and I often found it paralyzing. Both Sarah and Jenny offered confident advice when asked, without ever being pushy. The rings aren't cheap, but they are handmade, unique, and absolutely beautiful. I agonized for days before going with the vintage. Jenny ultimately helped my husband choose the right size for his hand, and a metal (palladium – who knew?!) that complements his skin tone and fits with his lifestyle. It looks so handsome on him.

    The bottom line: Brooklyn pride!

    I am very very happy with my lovely wedding band that I bought at The Clay Pot. I looked at a ton of different options, and found that Clay Pot had a lovely selection for women and a great option to compliment my antique wedding ring. The staff was very helpful and attentive, and didn't place any pressure on you to buy. I selected a lovely design, and when it arrived it was a slightly smaller size than we'd ordered, but it still fit perfectly.
    I brought my husband there for his band as well, but we didn't like their men's selection as much as their women's.
    I do think The Clay Pot is a great choice and has a fantastic, trustworthy selection of great independent US designers.

    We had a great experience with the Clay Pot, we went through 3 rings before we found the one we finally settled on. Once we went in to choose the diamond for ring number 2, we found a ring just in that was unique. The ladies there are very flexible, we were able to change our mind and rush order the ring for a few weeks time before our engagement party. Friendly efficient service. The one off putting bit on professionalism was that one girl had really bad fingernails and chipped nail varnish that was off putting.

    We went through the Clay Pot to get my engagement ring (the designer I liked sells through them) and my husband's wedding band. They have a really amazing selection of independent designers there, and their staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. If you are near NYC and/or want some truly unique jewelry, DEFINITELY check this place out.

    Beautiful selection, unique metal artists, and despite the pricey-ness we're able to guide us to metal choices that helped our price point and still got us what we wanted.

    My husband bought my engagement ring here, after I chose four styles I liked at Clay Pot. The designs they carry are beautiful. There wasn't one engagement ring that felt right to me after visiting many stores, until I came to Clay Pot. My ring is absolutely gorgeous and unique.

    I do think their prices are rather high, and maybe if we had more time to do research, we could have found a comparable ring at a better price. When we went back to purchase our wedding bands, I realized this. We were able to get much better prices elsewhere (see my review for iWeddingBand.com). I also decided against a diamond eternity band, so if I wanted one that matched my engagement ring, I might have stuck with Clay Pot.

    That said, the employees are very nice and responsive. They work with you over e-mail as well, which is great.

    Check out Clay Pot if you're not finding what you like at more conventional jewelry stores. They have enough of a selection spanning traditional to funky to really satisfy any bride or groom!

    Purchased my wedding band from The Clay Pot - it took me a while to figure out what I wanted, and they were very patient and professional. Love my ring - they have the most unique artisan jewelry. A little pricey for jewelry, but right price for a wedding band.

    We purchased both our wedding bands from The Clay Pot. We had never been there before, but heard good things. We first went in in August to try bands on and were told we still had plenty of time to order (for an early Nov wedding). We came back 2 weeks later to place our orders. We were told 4-6 weeks. His band came in in about 3 weeks, my band didn't show up until a week before the wedding. Due to the timing, we were unable to get our bands engraved prior to the ceremony, which was pretty disappointing. I don't think The Clay Pot is a bad place, I would just give yourself much more time than you think you need.

    The Clay Pot has a huge selection of unique wedding bands and engagement rings, that allow you to go outside of the usual suspects you see at all of the department stores and even jewelry stores. Prices are reasonable, and my ring came in much earlier than I expected after ordering. The service could use a little bit of a smile, but no frustrated sales person was going to keep me away from trying on every ring I wanted and taking home the perfect design.

    We got my engagement ring and our wedding bands here -- and we LOVE them. So many compliments. The staff was kind and patient with us, and we left knowing we'd bought the perfect rings.

    My fiancé and I purchased my engagement ring at the Clay Pot and had a great experience overall. Their selection of rings is just beautiful, though be aware that they are on the pricier side. I had my ring re-sized twice, and the turnaround was very quick each time. Great customer service with just the tiniest bit of attitude--hence the less than 5 star review.
