DO YOUR RESEARCH , price out at others stores
been shopping at Blaines Jewelry Box for over 3 years and spent around $25,000 total on all of my jewelry and $17,000 of that was in the last 9 months. I recently questioned the price of the pieces I’ve bought when I was inquiring about the total worth of all of my jewelry. When I went in and asked for a total, I was told I paid about $10k-$11k. I was extremely shocked because I spent $18,500 on what I was wearing that day. Since I was so shocked and confused, I asked what if I was going to sell it right now and they told me I would get about $5,000. I’ve bought a gold diamond bracelet which I paid $6,000 for, a gold chain with a custom cross including diamonds that I paid $5,000 for, 2 gold rings with diamonds totaling $6,000 and a gold diamond cross and wedding band for my wife totaling $3,000 I was overcharged double and even triple based on what other jewelers priced my pieces for before I even mentioned the prices that I paid. I went to numerous jewelers in NJ and 3 others in NY and was given a significantly lower price on those same pieces. I was told I’ve been “robbed” with the money I spent on all of that. I was recently interested in another gold diamond bracelet at Blaines and inquired about the price and was told it cost $9,000 when other jewelers were selling the same bracelet for around an average price of $6,000. I was very confused by the $9,000 price from Blaines so I started to ask them why one of my pieces was the price that it was and I couldn’t get a straight answer. The owner tried explaining that “oh it has to do with the setting and how the diamonds are placed” but that isn’t a valid answer. After going to a few other jewelers and getting other prices, I then went back and asked Blaine’s about my diamond ring which cost me $4,200 with no questions asked because I trusted them. They kept dancing around and not giving me a definitive answer on why I paid that price. Don’t get me wrong, the workers at Blaines are very nice and treat you like family but unfortunately, they took that to their advantage and overcharged one of their best customers and thought I would never notice which in result has forced me to shop elsewhere. So please, do your homework and spend the time to shop around because it’s not one or two dollars you are losing, it...

Read moreBlaine's has been an absolute staple in the community for as long as they've been around. He and his wonderful family do an excellent job advising and servicing their clients, and their restoration work is top notch.
My fiancee and I purchased a delicate estate engagement ring that we fell in love with, and it was Blaine who gave it the love that it needed to make sure it lasts for a long time. He even took pictures of the restoration and sent it to me to make sure we were comfortable and happy with the outcome.
We love Blaine and I'm happy to have them be our go to for years to come.
By the way they also have a killer selection of estate jewelry - there's always something interesting!
