Ben Baller If and Co jewelry Review - Perhaps the best Jeweler to the Stars

If your a regular user of Instagram you have probably seen this Asian fellow around named “Ben Baller”. Well, who is he and what does he exactly do? He is a jeweler and originally started producing jewelry for high end A list celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Justin Bieber and many more. His shop is located in the Slauson swapmeet in Southern California where it is run by his family now on a day to day basis I believe. He creates custom jewelry per your design/drawing and specifications and it is all done in house from the mold creation down to the casting and diamond setting. You can really say that IS a true jeweler. I ran into this fellow on social media and had to get a custom pendant made once I saw the craftsmanship of his work compared to other jewelers in New York City. Kind of odd, No? NYC is home to west 47th street which controls a large portion of the jewelry business in the USA. The thing is that a lot of these “Jewelers” dont have anything to do with the creation of their work. They buy the pendants and necklaces wholesale from large vendors located on 47TH street in those huge buildings and you really aren’t getting anything special as every store stocks the same pendants and jewelry besides a few.

What did I order and How did I order?

I contacted if and co via telephone and spoke with one of Bens relatives James who was extremely attentive and polite. I told him what I wanted and had a photo and size already drawn up. I explained the quality of diamonds I wanted the size chain as well. I went for a custom “E” pendant with around 1.8 carats of micro pave set SI-1 - VS2 Stones. I also chose to cast the piece in 14K solid yellow gold as it is a bit more robust than 18K as it contains 58.5 percent gold content. In 4 weeks the pendant was at my door and it was just what I expected. The neat and consistent stone setting is really unbelievable and this is all done by hand, no machines. I was extremely pleased and would not hesitate to trust them with my money again. If you are wondering what I paid you are looking at north of $2500 USD. The price might seem high but you truly do get a higher quality pendant. Nowadays, they have stockpiled and pre made tons of different pendants such as their famous Micro Jesus Pendant, Wolf Pendants, Lion Pendants, and much more so they are readily available. I will drop a link if you want to check them out.
