I turned to Frank Adams Jewelers and their service was beyond what I expected. I told Kimberly what my wish watch was and she assured me she would do everything possible to make it happen.

I was greeted by Kimberly and Matthew (her right hand man for everything Rolex) and treated my Dad and I like royalty, beyond my expectations! Whether this be your first purchase or tenth, they go out of their way to form a special bond with each of their customers. Actually it felt more like family! I love my watch and but more importantly the experience and memory of getting it. Thank you again Kimberly and Matthew....you have a customer for life! Warmest regards....Ken I

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 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!

I happened to be shopping here with my daughter who bought a lovely pair of diamond earrings with…read moreLynn's assistance. 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.

DO NOT GO HERE, avoid at all costs!…read more Absolutely horrible experience, ruined my wedding ring and so rude and unprofessional. Do not risk bringing your jewelry here, they will ruin it and take no responsibility, it's clear they don't know what they're doing. Brought my wedding ring in for a loose main prong, received it back weeks later with the prong even looser than when I brought it to them, with two stones completely missing which were perfectly fine before, and a huge black resin burn on the main diamond. Not only did they not fix what they were supposed to, they sent my ring back mangled. I have no idea how or why this would happen and how they wouldn't notice this before returning it to me. They also apparently don't take photos or videos of rings before and after repair for documentation, which is wildly unprofessional and is basically jewelry repair 101. Thankfully I took my own photos as evidence, as we're suing the company for the cost to repair the damage they did. They also don't do the repairs in store, which they weren't transparent about, and send it out to god knows where, so be further warned that it's a massively sketchy and unprofessional operation. On top of having no skills as a jeweler, their customer service is atrocious and they treat customers like garbage once they have your money. When I called to discuss my concerns with the state of my ring, the old woman working was immediately defensive, insulting, rude, and accused me of lying and swore at me. Not sure what I would gain by lying about their botched job, I just wanted the situation rectified. She also admitted they don't do repairs in house and don't take pictures or document what is damaged and what they fixed, insanely unprofessional and a scam of a business. They should be ashamed of how they damage pieces that mean the world to people, and then treat and talk to customers horribly. Save soo much time, frustration and heartbreak and go to a business with actual skill and integrity and who treats their customers as they deserve. Edited to address business comments below: Ma'am, I did not swear at you, and have the recorded call as proof of your unprofessionalism and rudeness. You did offer to 'fix' the damage, but who in their right mind would trust you with their jewelry for a second time to fix the issues you carelessly caused, after you sent back my ring with the original issue not fixed, and more damage added on top of it, that you didn't even notice? Insane. For you to say 'I did not want this done', is wild, I shouldn't have to bring my ring back to repair burns you left while not even fixing my issue. Potential customers, do you really want to put your trust and jewelry in the hands of unknown 'contractors'? Very sketchy. Even if my mom was happy with past, non complex, jobs you did, it doesn't mean this one wasn't a total disaster that you did not take accountability for. Everyone, save the headache and lawyer fees and go to someone sane and professional!
