Solid Gold Jewelry — Local services in New York

This is an updated edit on my gold nugget ring. It turns out, that jeweler that I tried to pawn my ring was wrong and he damaged my ring. It was real and I should have known better because I pawned it at three other pawn shops and even had it repaired at a higher end Jewelry store. I think you have to particularly specify you want solid gold. This store has a lot of gold filled or gold plated stuff, but there is the real display and things on the wall. I've bought several pieces here, usually rings and have never had a problem except once in the Bronx and that ring broke, but not because of the quality. In fact it is in a pawn shop now in my old neighborhood because I can't wear it anymore.

OLD POST: I have also becoming here for a couple of years. I only buy 10k or 14k gold. I told the salesman who has always treated me well despite how busy the store sometimes is I'm not interested in gold filled, or gold plated jewelry, hence he brings me to the case that supposedly has this type of solid gold. jewelry I really liked a gold nugget ring that was only 10k. I also always explained that it had to be real gold as he understood from our conversation as mentioned above. I bought it on a lay a way plan. I believe it was only $140 at least. I had pawned it several times at another location and got a small amount of money for my purpose. I brought it to one location who did the acid test and always got it back. A day ago that store was closed so I went to another location. This man seemed more experienced. He asked permission to scratch the ring and I said that was fine, but when he put the acid on it, it was fake. The man at this store, the delancey store sold me a fake ring. I couldn't believe it. I had bought another piece from him I liked a few years back and sold it as I no longer wore that style of jewelry. I have not gone to speak to him about it, but I know legal action will be the only action that will yield results. Be careful at this location. He has nice stuff and even a pic of Miley Cyrus apparently buying from there. I'm very angry and feel I have need dupped because I think he may have known. I'll reply back after the results of my initial encounter with him. I was wrong, I've bought several pieces at this place and all were real as sold. My ex GF got a non solid gold chain with a name plate, but that's what she wanted. You just have to know what your buying and the terms, this place has been there a long time. I even pawned a ring to him that had real diamond chips and he had someone check it and gave me the correct amount for the first time I've ever got for it. I had to go out of state so I pawned it here and he gave me the most. I already took it out. I have pictures of almost everything I bought here...

I don’t want say this place is a scam but If you don’t know much about gold don’t come here. They are con artists! They do anything to get your money and give you no value in return. And the costumer service is really bad. I bought 2 pairs of non gold earrings from here for my wife and I was told weren’t going to fade. Just wearing a pair 3 times, they started turning brown. I was annoyed for the price I paid. I went back just almost 4 weeks I bought them, the man there said they don’t do refund and I have to make an exchange. I asked for 14k gold, to make an adjustment, the man quadruple the prices. I paid for 14k gold and when I told my wife she said it wasn’t necessary. I quickly ask for a refund there but the man refused and threatened to fight if I decide to take him to court. I couldn’t laugh. In conclusion, this is not the right place...

Walked in and asked for a silver pendent. Robin(the owner) showed me a wall tray of pendents and told me that the pendent I was interested in was NOT plated and had sapphire stones in it (though they are not diamonds, sapphires are a precious metal that are worth a decent amount). Had it looked at and found out that the stones were CZ glass and the metal was plated. I paid 325 dollars for a piece that was only worth 10. Please do not come here unless you do not mind overpaying for something that in reality is very cheap. I do believe that the owner will say whatever to get your money and he does not care bout overselling cheap jewelry. Also, you never want to go to a jewelry store that makes all of its sales final. Though I was unable to get my money back, I’m glad I can shed some light on this store. DO...
