I had an engagement ring custom made purchased for me in the amount of $6500. It did not work out so I had the ring appraised by another jeweler. The jeweler told me the clarity and color is not what was reported and he would give me 700$ and not worth even purchasing on his behalf, that I was better off trying to consign it. Shame on them for ripping people off and claiming more than actual worth.
In response to the owner- unfortunately when it was unknown that you sold it to us I asked Matt (I believe is his name) to appraise it and he appraised it for the same. Providence diamond in Garden City also appraised it for the same.
In response to the owner again, after Matt appraised it- I explained the situation and he offered to put it in his consignment case for 60/40 after saying it was worth 700$. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding but I felt very slighted by a place my family has collectively shopped at for over 20 years. If the offer still stands I will bring it in and try and work something out, but that was not the case when I brought it in the first...

Matt explained that this was a family business started by his father Ephraim 44 years ago who is still working today! The show room is classy but yet very warm you don’t feel out of place ! The jewelry counters & displays are meticulously kept and very easy to look for that perfect gift ! Matt helped me find what I was looking for & asked the assistance of one of his cousins! Together we chose what I thought my wife would enjoy wearing as I listened to their suggestions and loved everything we chose !

Read moreMostly satisfied with the store. Most recently I brought in a 3 year old Movado watch that stoped working. Apparently unable to diagnose the issue so it was sent to Movado. Movado quoted over $400.00 to repair the watch without a diagnosis. Their business model states that their watches should be fully refurbished every couple of years. When the store rep contacted me with the estimate I was put off due to the cost and not have an actual issue with the watch. The rep said, “if you buy an expensive car you should expect to pay more for repairs”. Really? When I buy an expensive car I don’t expect it to stop running in three years and I expect the store to be qualified to make the repairs. I felt her analogy was a slap in the face. I chose not to have them repair the watch. The watch was brought to another local jeweler where is was repaired for...
