    I have to preface this with the facts that I have a BA and I work full-time in a job that keeps me…read moreon my feet 9-12 hours a day. I'm not lazy and I earn a paycheck. However, I live alone and am responsible for everything, so sometimes I'm in a pinch, as was the case today. I was in need of extra money for bills and so decided to sell several dvds, some jewelry, my dslr camera, and vintage Dudson, Wilcox & Till china. I wanted to support a local business rather than use eBay, so I webt to the Leggs Diamond location in Big Apple Plaza around 11:55 am (they supposedly open at 11 am). The door was locked and there was a phone number on the door. I called the number and was told that the employee was taking care of her horses because it was hot and that she'd be there within the hour. Okay. I have to take care of my animals in the heat and still make it to work on time, but maybe the supervisor/owner is being flexible. I ran some errands and returned around 12:45 to find the door still locked with the sign still in the window. I called again and asked if I could be called when someone was there because I'd already made two trips out there. The man who answered called the person who was supposed to be there and said that she wasn't answering. I waited in the parking lot - wasting gas and battery because it's too hot to not have at least the fan blowing - until around 1 and then went home and listed my items on eBay. There was no apology and no effort other than one phone call and I wasted two hours and a lot of gasoline on my day off. If you have jewelry, go to Gold Leaf Refining in the New Hartford Shopping Center, and just deal with eBay for anything else.

    A few years ago I would say this jewlery store was the only place to go, however things have…read morechanged in the last year. For example, my bf bought me a diamond promise ring and five months later the diamond fell out of the mount. Luckilly, I was able to find the diamond and brought it to Littman Jewelers expecting them to repair it free of charge since they guarantee their jewelry on their web site for one-year from purchase with a receipt. Apparently, they cover it but at the buyer's expense. They charged me $78 to put the diamond back in. It's scary to know you can spend a lot of money for a ring and they can glue the diamonds in and they continue to make money when the jewelry starts falling apart. I tried calling and e-mailing customer service, but they said they only guarantee mounting faults. I tried explaining that the diamond fell out of the mount which sounds like a mounting manufacturing issue to me. They didn't like my answer and customer service never returned that email. The ring is still at the store because I refuse to pay for their shotty crafmanship. If you are looking to purchase fine jewelry...go anywhere else.

    The store is a scam. Be very careful. They will not accept returns without the box. I was talking…read morewith employees and one is very rude also. I would stay away. Kay's had very friendly employees. Unlike this store. Seems like she hated being there. And it won't be hard to figure out what one had an attitude and is rude. Maybe age does that to some people.

    All right. I had a ring made at a competitor, let's call them "Flennons," that I wasn't satisfied…read morewith. I had another gem that I wanted reset/remade into a different ring, so I decided to give Cunningham a try. First impression when you walk in is that the place is small and very clean. I wasn't looking to buy anything from the case, and I can't comment on their stock. I was greeted by Brian Cunningham, and I explained what I wanted and showed him pictures of my inspiration. Basically the task was to take a crappy yet sentimental ruby out of a ring from Plumb Gold and set it in a more simple, modern band. Brian - super helpfully - looked at the pictures, said he could save me money by melting the gold from the ring down himself, fashion a band with a new bezel, and reset the stone. Um, WHAT?! I was blown away. At "Flennons" when I asked for and described and showed pictures of the ring I would like to have, the salesperson plopped down a huge catalogue of settings, went through it, and gave me the closest approximation. Essentially not custom at all, that took two full weeks, with a $700 cost to boot. $700 for being somewhat satisfied is kind of bullsh*t. Brian fabricated something brand new, that was EXACTLY what I wanted, that took maybe five days and cost $125. I will never shop at another jewelry store again.

    The Cunninghams are honest and have the trust of myself and my colleagues. There offer…read moreexceptionally good prices both when selling or buying. I have had custom sterling silver rings made for my siblings (from some silver left by our parents). We were all very happy. I recommend paying a visit when considering jewelry purchase.

I contacted Michele via email in hopes that she could assist with working on a Jewelry Badge for my Girl Scouts troop. She called me the next day and we made a plan. Her work area is amazing, everything is in its place and she really takes pride in making old things new. Our girls spent an hour and a half in the studio and really enjoyed the experience. As a trained sculptor, she makes her work look easy, where I would have probably lost the tips of my fingers. Please see below the beautiful Girl Scout pins she made during our demo. The girls had a million and one questions and Michele answered them all with much care and patience. She also provided them and indirectly me, with great life advice. She explained how we should find what we love in life and take time in the day to just do it; it will benefit the quality of your life. She encouraged the girls to follow their dreams, citing that being an artist was always her passion. Please note that she makes everything by hand and it's amazing to see; she offers classes and encourages inquiries for creating a one of a kind piece. Please see Michele, you will be highly impressed by her creativity and expertise.

Michele is a capable and creative jeweler who can fix broken things or create something new out of something sentimental. She had my ring back to me in a jiffy and was affordable, too.
