It's a beautiful store and you'll notice immediately that the jeweler takes excellent care of his stock. The proprietor is knowledgeable and skilled and honest.

The jeweler is a very nice person and welcomes all people without a hint of an unpleasant attitude even if you don't buy something.

They appraised my pieces with a very fair price, and took my rings with clear plans for these precious heirlooms. Then life intervened - I had a fall, and then surgery on my knee. The folks in the jewelry store were so patient! I limped into the store again on the 7th of May. My rings were so beautifully repaired, they took my breath away! I feel so fortunate that after almost 3 years, I get to wear them again. And we struck a very acceptable deal for the items I sold. Honest, professional, friendly. This family-owned shop will have my jewelry business from now on. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I came to these folks because they are nearby and I needed several things fixed- I wanted my gold…read moreplated chain fixed as a link broke, a watch battery replaced, and most importantly a pet pendant containing a beloved dog's ashes resized (the chain part). Everything came back perfect. All adjustments were done to specification, and they were smart enough to adjust the length of my bracelet from both sides instead of just from one like I had asked, which keeps the pendant more centered. I also noticed my gold plated chain came back even more shiny and gold so I don't know if it was re-plated or just polished and cleaned but I love it. Great job! And I believe I spent only about a $100 for all three things which was extremely worth it. Turnaround was about a week and they had a good process to set up the pickup to ensure no one can just take your jewelry.

I had a bracelet repaired by QJR in May 2026. When I received it back, the clasp had been installed…read morebackwards, making it unwearable. I contacted customer service and spent a significant amount of time going back and forth with them through their chat. The problem is that their chat is extremely slow, with 30+ minutes sometimes passing between responses. I was able to communicate with them, but only by sitting around waiting for each response, making it a very frustrating and impractical way to resolve an issue. They agreed to fix the bracelet but would only cover $100 of return-shipping insurance, despite the bracelet being worth significantly more and having sentimental value. They refused to cover the additional insurance I had originally paid for. I ultimately suggested receiving store credit for the insurance cost, which they agreed to, but the issue still went unresolved. Months later, the bracelet is still unwearable. I recently reached out again and, once again, have received no response through the chat. Mistakes happen, but the company policy to not match insurance value and the lack of functional customer service have been disappointing & gave more frustration than it's worth. I gave 2 stars because I did have two other previous items that were completed without issue. You just have to hope nothing goes wrong.

I've had to get this same thing…read morerepaired two other times at two different jewelry shops, and both of those places charged me money and made me wait at least 3-4 days to get the chain back. Not Kathe's Jewelry. I walk in there, expecting to just drop the chain off and pay some money for the repair job, but the guy working behind the counter (who I think also co-owns the place???) took my chain to the back for literally 30 seconds and then came back with it good as new and told me it was free of charge. He even gave me an old-fashioned handshake at the end like we were longtime friends. Made me feel like a special man walking out of that place. At any rate, if you live in the East Village or anywhere near it, don't go to any other store for your jewelry repair. The guys that own and operate Kathe's are so friendly and down-to-earth, and it looked to me like they were selling some nice pieces, too. 10/10.

I asked this company to provide more options due to the headache working with this company has created. I agreed to another item in comparable value. However, upon receiving the item, it was not as described and was hollow. I again sent this item back and requested a refund. What proceeded was a phone call from "Eddy" , who began to berate me with homophobic slurs, insulted and disrespected me with comments similar to an adolescent child that learned how to swear. When he ran out of breath as a result from insulting me (unsolicited btw) I asked if this was standard protocol to call customers and insult them. Not surprisingly, he hung up. Overall, Ive spent almost $2,000, I'm in the process of contacting my bank as I will not tolerate "Eddy" or any of his cronies talk to me in 5is manner(a paying customer, mind you) but I will never hesitate to share this nightmare experience with anyone who my think of doing business with Fordham.
