We were so happy with the service that my husband and I returned to buy a woman's Omega Constellation watch. They adjusted the links to fit my wrist. At the time of purchase, they did not have the international warranty card for said watch. This raised a red flag, since any luxury watch without the warranty card is practically worthless. Upon purchase, I was told that they would mail a copy to me. This is not the norm as I have purchased luxury watches before. I happily wore my new watch out the store, That same evening, the link suddenly fell off the watch. To my dismay and horror, this has never happened to me before. I was lucky to catch the watch before it fell to the ground. I was extremely upset all weekend and the jeweler was closed on Sunday. I was unable to remedy the situation until early Monday morning. It's quite a drive back to Northeastern Fine Jewelry as I don't live near there. When I explained what happened to the salesman, he was unapologetic and made no attempt to make things right. After such a traumatic experience, I completely lost faith in their workmanship and decided to return the watch. The salesman silently and awkwardly processed the return transaction and was very unsympathetic. This has been the worst shopping experience and it makes me wonder how they are even an authorized Omega watch dealer.

This diamond and ruby 40th anniversary band is so gorgeous! It looks like a crown for my finger and I enjoy seeing it 40 times a day. My loving husband stopped into Paul's store in Albany, NY, on his lunch breaks and over a few years, gifted me some pairs of diamond, and diamond and sapphire earrings, vintage and modern. There is something for every budget, and the place is as you might expect, is dazzling. Debbie was most helpful and friendly with a quote and reworking a pair of earrings I had laying in my jewelry box for years. I love wearing them again. Thanks Paul and Debbie, for making me look and feel great!

I was visiting Albany for the day and realized my new watch needed a safety chain added. I stopped…read moreby Truman Jewelers in the hope they might be able to accommodate me on a very tight time table. Megan Olson, one of the in-house jewelers, quickly assessed my need and suggested a custom solution which could be constructed that afternoon. She showed me the materials, explained how she would connect the safety and carefully measured so it would fit securely. The price was very reasonable. The work was completed within the hour. I've been wearing the watch for almost a month since the work was done and the safety is very secure and works perfectly! I was pleasantly surprised they could accommodate an out of town walk-in customer and accept a rush job so late in the day. The watch safety provided peace of mind during the rest of my travels. My only regret is that Truman Jewelers is not located in my home state! My trusted local jeweler retired and I wish I could find a company like Truman's in my area to replace my past jeweler. I value professionalism, excellent workmanship, good value and being treated with friendly courtesy. Truman Jewelers delivered all of that and more. Even more impressive since they knew I was a visitor and wasn't a potential long term customer!

The saleswoman sees my engagement ring and rudely says "That diamond is not real. The those diamonds are not real. And the band isn't even gold." Wow! I don't recall how the ring came up to begin with. I didn't say much because I found her attitude to be very off putting and rude. She went and grabbed some black box that helped her see if it was real or fake. As she is looking it she says "well it's real. And the other diamonds are too". But of course, they were bad quality. This is my engagement ring that I have had for almost 30 years and been appraised 3x. I had brought in a bracelet that needed to be repaired, a monogram ring that I was inquiring about changing the monogram on it. And lastly, the whole it's not real debacle, I had brought my engagement ring in to have the prongs tightened. Next I was being told that I should have my ring completely reset with white gold because that's the trend. I had tried a silver basket for my diamond and didn't care for it in the past. Well that became an issue but they did fix it on the spot. Lastly I came back to pick up this bracelet I needed repaired. I had forgotten the tag they gave me and the man moaned and sighed because that meant having to look at each bag. I will not be back. I do love to support local businesses but I felt the staff overstepped their boundaries and were very rude. Not a plane I want to do business with.

Underwhelming. After…read moreseeing the ads for this jeweler on PBS I had raised expectations (due to the positive connotations of public television.) So, when I needed a new watch band I came here instead of venturing into Albany. It's located in a newer strip mall with an eclectic array of businesses. Easy parking is a plus. When I walked in, however, my expectations immediately lowered. Entering I noticed a random array of things for sale: scarves, honey (?) other things that you wouldn't expect in a jewelry store: and this isn't an informal or granola, or general store sort of vibe. Lots and lots and lots of light, glass and mirrored cases and an emphasis on bling. My immediate vibe was this is a sales place but not somewhere you'd want to use for watch or heirloom jewelry repair. Think the type of jewelry store you'd find in a low-end mall. I was seeking a leather band replacement for a classic man's watch. The salesman was very nice, but indicated my watch was non-standard size, and required a special order. I've had the watch for 40 years and anywhere I've sought a replacement (leather bands wear out every few years) in upstate New York or on the west coast, the band replacement was considered pedestrian and the jeweler had lots of replacements on hand from which to choose (I have two watches with leather bands -- this has never been an issue before.) Next I was looking at a catalog, and the price was 3x what I last paid for a band (in Nor Cal, btw.) Whatever; my thought was okay, the price of convenience and you are supporting a local business. A few days later I got a call that the band had arrived; I went in the next morning after an appointment downtown and pulled up at 9:55 expecting to wait but the open sign was up and the lights on. I entered and a young salesperson, eating breakfast sandwich, looked up with irritation when I entered and was less than thrilled to need to get up to serve me. I advised her I had called, and she took the watch and sullenly walked off to put the band on. When done she mumbled "do you want the old band?" and then rang me up and gave me a cursory thank you. If you care, not smart to be ungracious when you are working for a small local business and dealing with a polite customer who is obviously a local older professional likely to have disposable income. Perhaps she was having a bad morning or just suffering protein deficiency not having been allowed to finish her breakfast sandwich (btw, in a business you shouldn't be chowing down in the sight of customers -- take it to back room.) I was hoping for a classic, tasteful, old fashioned jewelry store with dependable repairs, like the type you used to find across all upstate New York; I'll head into Albany when I need that type of service I guess. Joyelle's is simply a bit of Colonie Center along Delaware Avenue in Delmar.

They helped select a stunningly effulgent round diamond solitaire style pendant, with my first choice for any karat, color, or clarity as they will be happy to personalize for me and their asking prices are very reasonable market-wise.

I left there really happy about my purchase as well as their exceptional service and I don't even leave Tiffany & Co. half as excited.

The first was half off and the 2nd about the same when they matched a price I found online for the same watch that was better than the 25% off the shop was already offering. I went in earlier in the day to look at it and didn't feel at all pressured by the salesperson and I could tell she genuinely liked watches, jewelry and helping customers. I went back later and showed them the deal online and within a few short minutes I was paying. They adjusted the bracelet as I waited too which was much appreciated, even after I offered to leave it until later. I did have a watch I did not buy from them adjusted about a year ago and the service was very reasonably priced, especially considering I tried myself and gauged the band. I definitely recommend giving this local shop a shot before you buy from a chain or online. They have a nice sized clearance section and other sales too. Also some pretty cool vintage pieces that may interest some. Haha they even had Downton Abbey jewelry! Who knew!
