I have been in here various times over the years when purchasing jewelry, having it reset or…read moreresized. The owners (John and Lucy) are absolutely lovely to work with. They are very friendly and listen to what you are looking for when it comes to picking the right piece. My first experience here had to be about 10-12 years ago. I had purchased an inexpensive Claddagh ring in 9K gold on a trip to Ireland back in the late 1990s. The ring cost about $150. My Claddagh was really special to me because I'm part Irish and it was purchased on a vacation. The ring came with a created emerald (fake), but I somehow managed to knock the stone out and lose it. I went to a couple of area jewelers to get quotes on fixing this inexpensive stone and ring. I was shocked by what some people wanted to charge me! I came to this shop and John charged me a LOT less than what the other stores quoted me for a repair and resize. Fast forward to the current day, my Claddagh ring looks great and the stone is still securely in place. I think this speaks to the fact that John clearly does quality work. I stopped in this week when I was back in Albany. I assisted my friend in purchasing an engagement ring here. It was still a pleasure to come here and no pressure. We were shown various diamond options and I think the pricing was fair compared to the expensive mall jewelers. While I was in here I talked to John and Lucy about my own engagement ring. My husband purchased it elsewhere, but it's a 6 prong Tiffany style setting. I had bent one of the prongs about two years ago. I was lucky, John fixed it for me that day, it only took about 10 minutes. After my ring was repaired, cleaned and polished, it looked GORGEOUS. He did such a nice job fixing it up for me. I went to see my sight impaired grandmother the next day and she even commented on how she liked my ring. My mom also loves coming in here too and has had a couple of great visits with jewelry repairs. She also found John and Lucy to be very pleasant. I especially like that this is a family owned and operated business. I moved out of the Capital Region in 2014, but I always recommend this spot to my friends when they need a jeweler. Wish I could find a place like this where I currently live.

We have been customers of hers for decades and continue to be so despite our having moved out of the US. There are no finer and more trustworthy persons in the jewelry business than Sondra and her son Anthony. In fact I am writing this review while awaiting a call from Sondra in order to have her tell me that she has THE bracelet I've been looking for to give to my wife. There is no question in my mind that she will select precisely what my wife would had she selected it herself. You couldn't do better anywhere.

I went to Sondra's 9 years ago because I always heard them advertising on ESPN Radio. Anthony spent hours with me teaching me all about Diamonds and Rings. He ordered many diamonds and helped me pick just the right one. He explained the reasons behind each metal and why I would want to choose a platinum setting for our Tiffany style engagement ring. This was crucial as the ring went 8 years before it experienced any damage. I was in my early 20s and Sondra's let me make weekly payments for many many months without interest or fees until the ring was paid off and I was ready to propose. We moved out of state and were still planning our wedding. We corresponded by email with Anthony about the wedding bands knowing we would only see them 2 days before the wedding and they had to be perfect as there would be no time to change them out. They were perfect. This weekend we went back to Sondra's to have the aforementioned damage repaired and I haven't seen Anthony in probably 5 years and he remembered me and remembered where I worked 5 years ago. Amazing. The repairs were fantastic and super affordable. I am forever in debt to Anthony and Sondra's for teaching me about jewelery and changing my life. Thank you!

We were so happy with the service that my husband and I returned to buy a woman's Omega Constellation watch. They adjusted the links to fit my wrist. At the time of purchase, they did not have the international warranty card for said watch. This raised a red flag, since any luxury watch without the warranty card is practically worthless. Upon purchase, I was told that they would mail a copy to me. This is not the norm as I have purchased luxury watches before. I happily wore my new watch out the store, That same evening, the link suddenly fell off the watch. To my dismay and horror, this has never happened to me before. I was lucky to catch the watch before it fell to the ground. I was extremely upset all weekend and the jeweler was closed on Sunday. I was unable to remedy the situation until early Monday morning. It's quite a drive back to Northeastern Fine Jewelry as I don't live near there. When I explained what happened to the salesman, he was unapologetic and made no attempt to make things right. After such a traumatic experience, I completely lost faith in their workmanship and decided to return the watch. The salesman silently and awkwardly processed the return transaction and was very unsympathetic. This has been the worst shopping experience and it makes me wonder how they are even an authorized Omega watch dealer.
