I'm not much of a fine jewelry buyer - most of what I wear is from the sale rack at target but they had a nice selection of necklaces if I need to pick up a gift. I got 3 watch batteries replaced in 15 minutes and spent less than I would have if I'd let the unskilled girl at walmart replace them. For me, this is a solid 3 star establishment but gets a 4th for the awesome shop dog - beautiful black lab puppy (I think his name was Yeager). Any place that has a well behaved dog I can visit with always gets an extra star.

This diamond and ruby 40th anniversary band is so gorgeous! It looks like a crown for my finger and I enjoy seeing it 40 times a day. My loving husband stopped into Paul's store in Albany, NY, on his lunch breaks and over a few years, gifted me some pairs of diamond, and diamond and sapphire earrings, vintage and modern.

I cannot believe I have not reviewed Sondra's yet…read more 11 years ago today I met my wife. 8 years ago today I proposed to her. So now I will right the wrong of failing to review. 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!

Most recently, I wanted a custom ring for my wife to celebrate our 5-year anniversary. I discussed the design with Drue, she quoted me a better price than any other jeweler, completed the work in record time, and the finished product is more exquisite, more beautiful than I imagined. Drue is an artist and her work speaks for itself. She is the friendliest, most sincere, most talented jeweler I know and her team is second to none.

She wasn't the nicest, but I'm willing to put up with some gruffness from an expert. However, there were so many mistakes during the design process I barely received my engagement ring during the year long engagement before the wedding. The ring was beautiful from far away, but super sloppy close up. The spacing and height was off on the side diamonds, but it was a 3 hour trip to go there and she was so rude all the time that I gave up on getting it fixed. The wedding band was not what I expected because the diamonds in it were set in a channel with blank space on either side and looks bad. The rings were cleaned and checked there for 4 years or so. I had to stop wearing rings just after that and I was always worried about the integrity of the engagement ring. The rings were cleaned and stored in the box for the last 12 years (which was also cheap and didn't hold up). I just took the ring out to get resized and wear again. And all those sloppy areas--the ring is actually breaking down. I couldn't believe when I looked under a loupe at it. The gold channels are actually breaking off. This comes from sloppy technique in its creation. This ring should have lasted a lifetime, but it's going to cost me $1,700 to get it fixed after 5 years of wear?! Sloppy, shoddy work by a shop run by an incredibly rude person whose business model seems to be so difficult to work with (after she gets your money), that it is a horrific experience regardless, and you end up with a subpar piece at an expensive price. I also witnessed her being very nice to some people and rude to others, so maybe part of it is about how much money she thinks you have and whether she has gotten your money yet. I got the sense she prefers to sell jewelry she has already created, but when I was there, the engagement settings were all pretty similar and not what I wanted.

The saleswoman sees my engagement ring and rudely says "That diamond is not real. The those diamonds are not real. And the band isn't even gold." Wow! I don't recall how the ring came up to begin with. I didn't say much because I found her attitude to be very off putting and rude. She went and grabbed some black box that helped her see if it was real or fake. As she is looking it she says "well it's real. And the other diamonds are too". But of course, they were bad quality. This is my engagement ring that I have had for almost 30 years and been appraised 3x. I had brought in a bracelet that needed to be repaired, a monogram ring that I was inquiring about changing the monogram on it. And lastly, the whole it's not real debacle, I had brought my engagement ring in to have the prongs tightened. Next I was being told that I should have my ring completely reset with white gold because that's the trend. I had tried a silver basket for my diamond and didn't care for it in the past. Well that became an issue but they did fix it on the spot. Lastly I came back to pick up this bracelet I needed repaired. I had forgotten the tag they gave me and the man moaned and sighed because that meant having to look at each bag. I will not be back.
