The Legacy: Three Generations of Craftsmanship in the Gem & Jewelry Trade
When you search for the best local custom jeweler near me, you aren't just looking for a storefront - you are looking for specialized expertise. Our founder, Bentzion Yehoshua, carries a lifelong pedigree built on generations of precision, diamond grading, and master goldsmithing:
[Grandfather] ─── Master Diamond Cutter (Tel Aviv, Israel)
│
[Father] ─── Bronx Jewelry Store Owner & Master Goldsmith (The Bronx, NY)
│
[Bentzion] ─── Founder & Chief Designer, Motek Jewelry Design Studio (Airmont, NY)
The Foundation: Bentzion’s grandfather mastered the exact art of diamond cutting in the historic trade hubs of Tel Aviv, Israel, instilling a deep respect for gemstone symmetry and structural integrity into the family line.
The Apprenticeship: Bentzion’s father established a foundational jewelry store and repair hub in the Bronx, NY. Growing up on the shop floor, Bentzion learned how to analyze commercial retail jewelry, identifying structural strengths and design weaknesses. From 2020 through 2022, he completed a rigorous, formal apprenticeship under his father's veteran in-house master bench jewelers, perfecting real-world goldsmithing, diamond setting, and precision technical repairs.
A Master Global Education: To elevate his skill set to an international standard, Bentzion sought out training from some of the world's most renowned cultural masters of the jewelry trade:
Goldsmithing & Fine Metal Fabrication: Trained directly by Jamaican, Colombian, Italian, and Korean master artisans.
Technical Bench Work & Tool Precision: Instructed by ultra-precise Japanese master watchmakers and bench jewelers.
Jewelry Design, Rendering & Hand-Sketching: Taught color coordination, symmetry, and draft sketching by elite Russian classical designers.
Advanced Studio Chemistry & Metallurgy: Learned the intricate chemistry of precious metal refining and alloys from Bucharian masters from Uzbekistan.
Diamond Setting & Micro-Pavé: Mastered structural stone-setting security under Turkish and Syrian setting specialists.
3D CAD Jewelry Design: Trained in digital jewelry architecture by advanced Chinese software developers.
Our Journey: The Motek Jewelry Business Timeline
From a highly successful online restoration shop to a state-of-the-art physical jewelry design studio and manufacturing hub, our timeline reflects our dedication to fine metal craftsmanship:
2011 - The Digital Launch & Silver Restoration Shop: We launched our online eBay store, establishing a national reputation for the meticulous restoration of vintage silver jewelry from Taxco, Mexico, alongside refurbishing pre-owned luxury designer silver pieces from iconic fashion houses like Tiffany & Co. and David Yurman.
2017 - Golden Expansion: Building on our reputation for flawless vintage restoration, we expanded our operations into the sourcing, refurbishing, and reselling of high-end fine gold and diamond jewelry.
2021 - First Physical Jewelry Showroom: To better serve our local community, we opened our first brick-and-mortar storefront in Airmont, NY, featuring a curated retail inventory and a compact, specialized jewelry repair shop.
2025 - The Route 59 Flagship & Custom Design Center: We moved to our current, expanded design studio at 386 Route 59, Airmont, NY. With this expansion, we invested heavily in cutting-edge technology, shifting our primary focus to high-end custom engagement rings, lab-grown and natural diamond settings, and complex heirloom redesign.
2026 - Trade Trust & B2B Wholesale Bench Services: Alongside our retail custom design work, we officially launched our dedicated B2B wholesale jewelry bench services. Today, we operate as the elite, trusted, behind-the-scenes master workshop handling complex custom orders, laser welding, and high-end setting work for retail jewelry stores across Airmont, Monsey, Pomona, and Spring Valley, NY, as well as upscale Bergen County, New Jersey communities like Ridgewood, NJ.
Our Core Philosophy: "Quality First" & First-Generation American Gratitude
Our business operates under a strict, uncompromised guiding principle: "Quality First." Because our founder spent years evaluating why commercial, mass-produced jewelry inevitably breaks, we structurally engineer every ring, pendant, and bracelet to last for generations. From the simplest chain soldering repair to a multi-carat bespoke platinum anniversary ring, we treat every single piece with unmatched structural and artistic respect.
A Legacy Born of Gratitude
As a first-generation American citizen, Bentzion views his business through a lens of profound appreciation. He deeply values the incredible privileges of living, creating, and expanding a business in a country filled with wonderful freedoms and limitless opportunities. It is a gift our studio never takes for granted.
In direct gratitude for the opportunities this country has provided us, Motek Jewelry proudly contributes 10% of our profits toward local community organizations. For us, giving back to the Monsey, Airmont, and greater Rockland County community is our way of keeping our roots strong and supporting the neighbors who have championed our journey.
The Motek Custom Design Process: Zero Guesswork
We have completely eliminated the anxiety of "going custom" by pairing old-world hand craftsmanship with state-of-the-art digital visualization technology:
-
The Custom Design Consultation: You sit down one-on-one with master designer Bentzion Yehoshua to map out your ideas, review reference photos, or inspect your loose stones and family gold.
-
Photorealistic 3D CAD Rendering: We build your exact jewelry piece inside advanced Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. You get to review, rotate, and adjust a stunning, highly detailed, photorealistic 3D digital model before any metal is melted.
-
Precision Casting & Master Hand-Setting: Once approved, we utilize high-precision 3D-printed wax models to cast your piece in your choice of 14k, 18k gold (yellow, white, rose) or platinum, followed by meticulous master hand-setting, stone securing, and mirror-finish polishing.
"Motek designed custom earrings matching the setting of a ring bought in another store. He took the effort to make a 3D model first, send it to me for review, and discussed every step along the way to make sure this is how it should look. Great service - expert jewelry designer - unique store in Rockland county and beyond (no cookie-cutter jobs)."
