I received a coupon in the mail and asked my friend to take me there. Before I arrived at Center Island Gold I called the business because it was kind of late and I was afraid it might be closed. Well, They were closing soon, but Igal ( I now know it was Igal who I spoke with) said he would wait for us to arrive. Right away I thought that was just awesome making the customer feel ok about going there so close to closing. He also has a great sense of humor (which one needs when dealing with my friend and I !!) and even quite patient while waiting for us to un-knot some of the more delicate chains! He was friendly but professional and answered a lot of my questions AND my friend's questions. He really gave me a fantastic quote for my jewelry and I definitely walked out of there a very happy person. I came back maybe a month later and Igal once again helped us. So, yet again I left there a very happy camper! I also wanted to make sure I went on YELP to give Center Island Gold the ratings and good raves it deserves!

This was about 4 years ago. Surge, the owner described exactly what I envisioned and made me a heartfelt piece. I recently went back as my ring needed a little repair. This time I also brought in a broken bracelet and asked that earrings be made out if it. Again, Surge did not disappoint. He even paid me for the pieces of gold leftover from the bracelet. I have two unique pieces from LI Gold Mine and will continue to bring my business there.

Avoid Ralph at All Costs - Incompetent and Dishonest…read more I'm writing this from the courthouse where I've just filed a lawsuit against Ralph. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. I brought my father's watch to Ralph for a simple gasket replacement. It's a diving watch he wore while serving in the military, and I'm heading to Ukraine to serve myself--I wanted to wear the watch in his honor. I chose Ralph because of the many glowing reviews online. Big mistake. The first red flag was the overwhelming smell of marijuana in his shop. I dismissed it at the time, thinking maybe it helped him focus on delicate work. I couldn't have been more wrong. When I first brought the watch in, it was functioning well--just running about a minute slow each day. All I asked was for Ralph to replace two gaskets. We agreed on $200, which was all I could afford as I won't be working for the next six months during service in Ukraine. For such a basic job, it was a fair price. A day later, I called to ask if he could look into the cost of a new crystal. After not hearing back for a couple of days, I followed up--only to be told he had already replaced the crystal for $150 without my consent. When I told him I wouldn't have agreed to that, he flew into a rage, yelling about how he wasn't making enough on the job. It became clear to me he may have serious issues, possibly substance-related. When I finally went to pick up the watch, the bezel no longer turned. Ralph claimed I had damaged it myself, which I hadn't. Then I noticed the self-winding mechanism wasn't working. He insisted it was fine, despite clear evidence to the contrary. It was rubbing against the back plate. I stormed out taking my watch, but later returned, hoping he would take responsibility. After more yelling and resistance, he begrudgingly agreed to take another look. Weeks passed. My departure date for Ukraine got closer. Today, 2 days day before I leave, Ralph texts to say the watch is ready. I go in--and unbelievably, it's in worse condition than before. The winding mechanism is not working as it should. The bezel now turns, but it could easily be roomed with a thumbnail. I walked out refusing to pay. This time, he followed me outside, becoming aggressive. I told him I would see him in court. Later that day, I went to another, far more competent watch repair professional. He opened the case and immediately found the issue: the movement wasn't seated properly, and the retaining ring was missing. I know that was there when I gave it to him because I open the watch myself to see what gaskets were needed. Without it, the entire mechanism is unstable. If a replacement can be found, the watch might be salvageable. But it's an older model, and chances are slim. This isn't just a watch--it's a deeply sentimental piece of my family's history. And it's also quite valuable. Ralph, if you're reading this: You know exactly what happened. That retaining ring didn't vanish on its own. It's either still in your shop or you carelessly threw it away. I don't forget things like this, and I'm not letting it go. Ever. To anyone considering trusting him with something valuable: Don't. The reviews are misleading. My experience was a disaster, and now I'm left with a broken watch and a legal battle just days before leaving. Also, take a moment to read the negative reviews--those are the accurate ones. Many people have had experiences similar to mine. And look at his responses: full of excuses, never accountability. He clearly lacks the ability to take personal responsibility. Pathetic. Take a look at the photo I've attached. You can see at nine and 10 o'clock the space between the watch face and the case itself.

Love having Bellport Jewelers as my personal jeweler. When you go there and meet Peter, Dianne, and…read morePeter Jr - you feel instantly welcomed and become like extended family! They really do exceptional work and take great pride in it. This place is not like those generic super mall chain store jewelers which I personally can't stand. Their store is in the quaint town of Bellport which is very historic and beautiful to walk through, shop, enjoy an ice cream or grab a slice of pizza. Instead of selling my unwanted gold.... Peter did the most amazing thing with my pile of jewelry. He made me custom pieces that were so artistic and organic.... and I am the only one who has them! If you are an artist or appreciate art like me - definitely see Peter. Plan on staying awhile in the store because odds are you will sit down for a good chat!

Most jewelers shy away from vintage! Seriously if you are looking for a lifetime piece, something you will love forever, Bellport Jewelers is your place!
