I brought a number of silver pieces to Danson for a full restoration. Many of them had unfortunately been exposed for too long to oxygen, creating tarnish that I thought would never be removed. Much to my surprise, Danson and the team were able to remove nearly all of the tarnish! They took their time to ensure the restoration of these pieces was done right. Danson optimizes the amount of time it takes to do something with being able to do it well. I'm very happy with how Jack and the team cleaned up my silver items, and will definitely be sure to come back if I need to restore other pieces. read more

EDITED TO RESPOND TO OWNER: Please stop with your fabrications. You weren't there when I came in. What you think you know about this interaction was likely already twisted by your girl. I spent about 5mins with her that day - i knew what i wanted when i came in. She was the one attempting to "change my decision", when she tried to pull a bait-and-switch on me, i left your store immediately. There was no back and forth on my decision-making, none of my requests "evolved" into something different, i knew what i wanted when i called and when i came in. I wanted a basket setting w/ push back that has a flap. Polyanna was trying to upsell me with different backs where she immediately doubles the price to $850. So i said no to that immediately. I told her I just want the basket settings and push backs with the flap that she quoted $450 for. When she wouldn't honor her own quote, and still want to charge me $850, i left your store straight away. It's pretty clearly "her word against mine" here, and whoever wants to believe which side, is what it is. All I'm trying to convey is that i was able to find a reputable jeweler (Alfred Jeweler) that was able to do, what you called a "minor service" at a fair price $520 with all 14k white gold. They didn't just spit out a number in the air. They weighed the gold settings and backs in front of me before giving a final price, with all the specs i wanted. No "scrap metal" as you're trying to imply. If your settings and backs are truly priced per piece and "not by weight". Then it makes less sense why the price would go up to $850. I gave her the specific settings and backs that i wanted to purchase. She quoted me $450 total. ------------------ ORIGINAL REVIEW: Please read if you DO NOT want to get swindled by this business! I have a very specific situation, but if you make it to the end of this review, it will become clear how dishonest they can be. Be wary when doing business with Danson. I've been calling around local jewelers to get quotes for mounting 2 matching diamonds (1 carat each) that i own, into stud earrings. I've searched high and low, coz I was very specific about a few things. I was receiving quotes between $400-$500, to set my 2 diamonds into 14k white gold. Pretty consistent price anywhere i called. I'd also mention i want the basket setting, push back with the flap to avoid the earrings from drooping. These are my exact words every time i make a call. So I call Danson jewelers and spoke to this woman, Pollyanna. She said they can do that and she gave me a quote at $450. Again, pretty consistent with other shops, and she said i can even watch and wait for my earrings to be set. I thought... perfect!! Well, i show up there and she was trying to upsell me with a screw back... for $850! So I said "i just want the push back with a flap, that we talked about over the phone, that you quoted $450 for". She wouldn't honor that quote, she said it would still be $850 because of the gold prices". Mind you, we just talked over the phone an hour ago from that time... I highly doubt gold shot up that high within an hour. I have done my research, i've called and been to many jewelers before showing up to Danson. For her to double the price, without even weighing the gold settings and backs on a scale, it was quite clear what she was trying to do. One big positive that came out of this though... is that i got my amazing earrings made, by my (now) amazing jeweler - ALFRED JEWELERS in Glen Rock! I got all the specs i wanted for $520. Yes, this is with the 14k white gold, basket setting and earring backs, that Danson was trying to charge me $850 for! The owner at Alfred jewelers actually weighed the gold right there before giving me the final price. For my peace of mind, he also put my diamonds under a microscope (in front of me), took pictures of what they call a "diamond fingerprint" both in the beginning, and when i picked up, so i can confirm that they're my exact same diamonds I'm taking home. I love my new studs. Sadly, Danson is just another opportunistic business that isn't thinking about a possible long term relationship with a new client. read more

My family and I have been customers of Danson for many years. I love that they now have a location in Allendale cause it's so much more convenient for us. The owner has always gone above and beyond my expectations with every single custom piece I've requested. Even the collections they have at the store are one of a kind. I've had experiences with several Jewelers even internationally and I have yet to trust anyone else to provide me with the same proven quality as Danson. I will always always always recommend them to my closest friends and relatives. read more

After trying to work with several jewelers to design an extremely sentimental piece, I had began to lose hope after repeatedly having no success bringing my vision to life. That was all until I coincidentally stumbled into Danson around lunch time trying to kill time waiting for my friend (Nirvana right next door is amazing for Indian food lovers out there!) When I entered the store I immediately was greeted and offered a cup of espresso or coffee of my choice by Jack, the owner. Hesitating to discuss my vision, I took chance and immediately fell in love with his on the spot sketch and ideas! He was able to work with my budget (which was an issue with many other jewelers) and bring my vision to life! Jack was extremely professional, responsive and creative to work with and I am more than pleased with the end product! I will most definitely be back for all my custom pieces as well as repairs, watch purchasing and just about anything jewelry related! read more

Get all my jeweler from Danson! Jack is the best and I wouldn't trust any other jeweler. I love stackable rings and he always knows the perfect ring that would go with my collection. He is also super talented and can make anything you can think of. I've had Jack make rings, bracelets and necklaces for me. Also very fairly priced always beyond satisfied with my purchases and experience. read more
