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.

This is the place to buy the famous Herkimer diamonds - both raw or cut and set. Herkimer diamonds are actually double terminated quartz crystals. Smaller specimens are clear and perfect. Larger specimens contain defects. They own the mines and also offer collecting expeditions which are a couple miles away. . The shops are across from the exit. There is plenty of parking with some special accessible. There are clean restrooms. The staff is friendly and excited to discuss the inventory in the gem shop. There were 4 cases of Herkimer cut and uncut stones. The selection included rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. The had specimens of druzy Herkimer quartz as well. Jewelry prices were reasonable so I brought two bracelets set in sterling. Stones are not cut locally. They also sell other imported stones and specimens. We picked up rock candy and post cards too. They offer boat tours of the Erie Canal section. The dock along the canal is lovely. There is a restaurant that we did not try. Next time.

My daughter was in heaven. She wanted everything. She loved taking a piece of Garnet that she found and making it into a necklace as well. I did find it to be expensive so it's not something we could do often in the Adirondack. The staff was great. Helpful and friendly all around. The road getting up is a little rough after a bit too.

They lost a screw on the $1,500 Museum, and said "just use it with 3 screws instead of 4. Then when I asked them to document that they broke the watch they hemmed and hawed and I suggested calling the Herkimer Sheriff. They wedged in a stripped out screw they had in back of the store that doesn't match the other screws and lied saying they found the lost screw. These people are liars and lowlife for doing that. Seriously; go anywhere but this place. They will rob you and lie to your face.

If i could give a negative number I would. I went in there to get a watch battery replaced. I tried…read moreto replace it myself but could not get the back cover on again. I was going to get a new battery but the store has a policy that they only charge $5 if you bring your battery in, so I did. The first young woman to help me was very nice and tried to get it back on and couldn't do it either, she said the jeweler would be in tomorrow and he can look at it. As I was asking about pricing an older woman came out of the back (I assume she was the manager). She exclaimed in an annoyed tone "wait he brought the battery in?!?" And the snagged my watch from young girls hand and literally shoved the watch back into my face and quite rudely said to me..."well then we can't help you". I was left speechless standing at the counter. Its a shame, I generally like to support small local businesses and was even looking for something for my wife on Valentine's day. Needless to say I will not be getting anything for here in the future and will defer anyone looking to shop there.

From crystals and card decks, journals and incense, clothing, quality jewelry, even vibrational tuning forks, this is a small shop with a big selection tucked away among the Finger Lakes farm fields. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, kind and compassionate, and truly an ally to anyone who shops in her store, regardless of belief systems or lifestyle. She is principled and operates from a place of acceptance and love, and speaks out against bullying and hate. You can feel all of this from the vibes in the store and the items she carries. She is a light in an area where there are few resources for folks who are different, and Sandalwood is a safe space and a welcoming one. The prices are fair and the shop has a devoted following for a reason--there is nowhere else like it in CNY.
