It is true that usually the diamond district is 'shut down' during the 1st 2 weeks of July. But working on 47th street I've noticed that many stores are in fact open. This sems to be due to the higher price of gold and less sales. I am sure that you can come down and find something in the locations currently open, even if not your normal jeweler. Good luck!

Yes, they close every year the first two weeks of July.
I got the girls their jewelry from Tri County and I was told they wont be in til the end of July b/c the district is closed the beg. of July. I'm sure Tri County isnt shut down, but if they get it from the city then you'll prob have to wait

I work for a Jewelry company - mostly gold and it is true MOST jewelry co's close for a week or two in July for vacation. It is because a lot of our oversea vendors are closed for the month of July and some even August.

I hope you can find what you are looking for...Good Luck!
