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.

If you have a priceless family heirloom or a piece of fine jewelry that requires absolute perfection, J Patch Designs by Karen is the only place in New York City you should trust. I brought in my late father's century-old, solid gold Masonic ring to be resized up to fit my finger. Because the ring features an incredibly delicate, heat-sensitive vintage black onyx stone, a standard jeweler's torch could have easily cracked it. Cliff looked over the piece and immediately guaranteed he would execute a specialized, high-tech precision laser weld.Not only did he resize the thick band flawlessly with an invisible seam, but he also performed an absolutely razor-sharp, custom one-line laser engraving inside the shank to commemorate my own Master Mason milestone (MM 5-2-81). The mirror-polish finish he delivered brought the historic gold back to its full, brilliant glory without losing any of its vintage character. To top off an already perfect experience, the customer service was warm, honest, and completely professional. Cliff even walked me through the care process and provided a complimentary bottle of liquid jewelry cleaner. As a high-volume content creator reviewer with over 16 + million views , I inspect businesses with a very strict eye--and J Patch Designs easily earns the highest recommendation possible. Thank you, Cliff and Karen, for treating my family's history with such immense respect! You made my day!!! Once again thank you!! I normally don't give 5 Stars.

It's rare to find someone who combines expertise, professionalism, fair pricing, and exceptional customer service. I recommend Sash without hesitation and will gladly return for future jewelry repairs and adjustments.

I don't normally write negative reviews, but this business definitely needs one, and people need to…read morebe aware. I am a native New Yorker and can spot a PROFESSIONAL CON ARTIST when I see one. SASH is one of them. He's nice on the outside, but he's good at fooling new customers. I gave him the benefit of the doubt based on his reviews and trusted him. NEVER ignore your gut. He is indeed a SCAMMER that has been fooling people for decades. You'll realize that after the great conversation he has with you. They will try to remove this review but I was a real customer. Believe the other reviewers telling you the same. I brought in several pieces of jewelry for repair along with tipping Sash, expecting professional, long-lasting work based on the reviews. Unfortunately, within approximately two months, ALL OF MY JEWLERY BROKE/FELL APART. I was SO disappointed because the purpose of having jewelry repaired is to ensure that it is fixed properly and lasts. The quality of the workmanship is EXTREMELY POOR. He then proceeds to blame his poor workmanship on your jewlery (similar to what others said here). That was NOT the case. My pieces are all genuine and well-made. I've had pieces repaired decades ago that have never split open like this. In my opinion, Sash came across as VERY misleading. He talks and distracts you with conversation. He spoke about family and friends, who seem to be the ones receiving the highest level of care (and the ones writing the good reviews), while new customers receive poor service. He also intentionally adds on additional charges without confirming with the customer, that was fine with me, but at least provide the service you charged for. I am posting this review so that other customers can make an informed decision before spending their money here. If you are looking for reliable jewelry repairs, I would recommend considering the other jewelry repair businesses on the same floor. I went to another guy and he did a fantastic job. I regret spending so much money and hope this review helps other potential customers avoid a similar experience.

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 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.
