Second time at Kim Dao. First time at this location…read more Definitely an upgrade in physical store. Larger space, better lighting and more display cases. Also felt very safe as they buzz you in the front door and have plexiglass on top of all their display cases (Covid precautions). Once again, I didn't buy any jewelry from them. But I had them polish my platinum wedding band for an upcoming reception / photoshoot. The lady was friendly and told me the price upfront $10.80. She charged me $10 and it took them 5 minutes to make the ring shiny and appear new again. I know polishing platinum is prolly not a good thing repeatedly, but I plan on doing it just this one time. Anyways, I wouldn't hesitate to go to Kim Dao for all your jewelry needs.

You do have to check in at the door, but we were greeted immediately. The showroom was pristine and well-lit. The saleslady was pleasant and took us to the Omega watch display case quickly. The watch looked amazing and we asked about pricing. We weren't expecting much of a discount for a new 2021 model watch. However they offered a $400 discount right off the bat. To be honest, I wasn't expecting Cornell's to be flexible with pricing at all. I ended up buying the watch from an online retailer a friend had good experience with (and also provided an ever bigger discount). However, I were to shop local and needed to see the exact watch in person, I would have gone back to Cornell's Jewelers.

Each time I told them I was just looking, not buying but they still gave me great service and attention. Last time they had some pre-owned Rolex models. All priced correctly and the staff was very knowledgeable. This would be the only place I'd go for used Rolex, Omega, Oris, etc... Definitely worth the drive from Buffalo.

So, I'm speaking from the bride side, but I know my groom had the best experience as well. Mark…read moreNulton is the owner and he made our wedding rings and my engagement ring! We love them. He is a custom ring maker and will tailor your likes and needs to the jewelry you envision. He does sell his own jewelry that he personally makes in his newly self renovated beautiful victorian house in penfield. To the right, as you walk in, is his shop with some earrings, necklaces, and rings. To the left is his office where you can start and finish discussing about the jewelry you would like. it's decorated very beautifully and feels homey and personable. Mark is very patient and accommodating. I can say this because I'm a very indecisive person! For longer than I needed to, I was struggling to decide on the best wedding ring for myself that fit my hand/personality. He helped this process by providing advice and his best opinions without being a pushy salesman. He was able to order certain rings so I could see them in person and try different types on so I could see what looked best. Once I decided which ring I wanted he then was able to change it slightly to be exactly what I wanted. The exact same process went for my groom. Mark also polished my engagement ring a few times before the wedding. If you're looking to go to a jewelry store and don't want someone breathing down your neck, pouncing on you as soon as you walk in the door, or pushing you to buy something..... Nulton Jewelers is the place to go. My groom searched for a place that was friendly, calm, and personable and that's Mark. Also, thanks for the bottle of champagne and thank you note!

I needed to repair the clasp on my silver necklace and visited here after reading their reviews…read moreonline. It was a quiet Thursday afternoon and the cashier was able to meet with me right away to discuss my jewelry. She showed it to the jeweler, Mark, who was able to determine that the old clasp could be easily removed and replaced with a nearly identical clasp of the same sterling silver. He did the entire process in less than 5 minutes and the whole repair cost a very reasonable $10. This necklace has a great deal of sentimental value and I was thrilled to have it fixed with such speed and professionalism. I'll be sure to recommend Nulton to anyone who needs jewelry repaired. Looking around their showroom, they also make some lovely original pieces, too!

You see, my mom likes to shop and I hate it, but I always love going into this place and this is where I started my jewelry obsession. Located in Greece, Krikorian's has some of the best jewelry in Rochester. All the staff is friendly and they have little bowls of candy around...maybe that is why I have an extra sparkle in my eye when I am in there, or is it the diamonds? Krikorian's has an array of jewelry and watches. They even do repairs. The owner, Harry, is always there with a smile and is a master when it comes to creating and fixing jewelry. They have some of the finest ring settings I have seen and the most amazing estate jewelry. You can always find something to fit your budget, but the best thing about this place, aside from their fabulous pieces, you feel confident that you are buying quality and not being ripped off. With the holidays coming this is a great place to do some shopping. Oh and another plus, its right next to the Greece Pizza Stop, so have a slice after you shop!

They also had a fair amount of jewelry. On our recent visit it appears that their inventory is more heavily skewed toward jewelry.

Dropped off a tangled and broken necklace for repair…read more The staff were friendly and kind. The necklace is a gold chain with an opal and diamond pendant which was a gift purchased at Costco (yes Costco). While evaluating the jewelry, they were very kind and didn't bat an eye when I said where it was purchased and provided the estimated value. It took about two weeks to get back. While waiting in line, another staff member took my ticket (yay me for not loosing it) and got my jewelry. Which was untangled and put back together perfectly. Note: they are closed on Mondays. I learned that the hard way! They also have a nice selection of jewelry but I tried not to look at too much!

Note: this review is in regard to the shop's watch selection…read more The staff was friendly and professional, but with mid-tier to entry-level luxury watch ADs, there are higher expectations. When I walk into an AD for Omega, Grand Seiko, Cartier, or Tag Heuer, I have certain expectations for my AD. Unfortunately, Mann's Jewelers did not meet these expectations of going above and beyond. If you know what you like and do not enjoy outside input, it is perfectly fine to purchase your watch from here. But, in my opinion, half the fun of watch shopping is explaining your desires to your AD and watching as they find a piece that meets or even exceeds your expectations. Unless you are deeply attached to Tag or Accutron, I would highly recommend also stopping by Cornell's (which is nearby) to speak with their highly experienced and knowledgeable sales folk.

I've purchased a wedding band for my husband at The Source twice -- fifteen years apart. The…read moreoriginal ring was yellow gold with a white gold overlaying band. He loved the ring, really, which is quite impressive since he wears no other jewelry. It was still in excellent condition eleven years later when a communication debacle sent it into the depths of the City of Rochester's land fill. (Yep, accidentally got vacuumed up and discarded in the trash.) *deep, deep sigh* Fast forward to last week when we purchased his replacement ring. This time we went for Tungsten, which allegedly is hypoallergenic. My hubby's profession requires an inane amount of hand-washing so we are hoping he will have less of a reaction to soap buildup on his finger. He's worn it for a week and loves it equally. The staff at The Source is professional and kind. I wish they were a little more welcoming, and had a bit more enthusiasm, but that's somewhat trivial. They are typically older than those that are found at the mall jeweler's, which makes me feel like they have more experience and knowledge. It appears that they have a much longer turnover rate, so you may see the same employee -- even if you haven't visited in a while. I believe the prices to be reasonable and feel that's due in part to location: they're not paying the high mall rents. They are also not spending large amounts on flashy advertising campaigns. And again, I cannot overemphasize this enough: it's a locally-owned business! Gotta support the little guy whenever we can, but especially when they sell quality merchandise at an affordable price.
