Jeffery Guerard This place has a big selection of minerals and beads and they are all very cool. They have a cool $1 treasure chest where you can dig around to find your own little falls diamond. Also the person working was very nice.

Emily Kimball Absolutely LOVE Rose and Co permanent bracelets! I have five 14k gold bracelets including one with the July birthstone and one with an “A” initial for my son. These bracelets are not only beautiful but also SUPER comfortable and indestructible! I have hard well water and my bracelets are untouched. Rose and Co also gives you a stamp card so after you purchase 5 items, you get the 6th for FREE! That’s an enormous deal when some of these items cost 200-300 dollars! Do yourself a favor and stop by one of the many pop-ups they host and you will be amazed at the quality and how fast and efficient they are! Can’t wait to get more, 5 ⭐️!!!

Nora Kraft This is always my absolute favorite place to pick out gifts (and jewelry for myself). The team has the perfect balance of being friendly and helpful, while not pressuring you into a sale. The energy is calm and casual. The prices are also incredibly fair for jewelry in the city - and the smaller gift items are lovely and on trend! This is an absolute gem of a store. ✨

Angelo Sciarappa I was able to get my fiancés engagement ring from Karen and it was breathtaking to say the least. The compliments haven’t stopped coming and it’s been a full month LOL. The experience, friendliness of the staff, and professionalism of the store is all you should need to get any piece of jewelry here!!

Jess Hamm My daughter and I decided to get silver anklets for her 16th birthday. We love them! 1 week later they are staying strong and no tarnish whatsoever! Highly recommend Jen and her permanent jewelry! Best price and quality in the area!

Gregory Dias I was referred to Drue by my fiances father, who had shopped at Drue Sanders for many years while living in Albany. I had a pendant from her mother that I wanted to repurpose the stones from, and I figured the only place to go was Drue Sanders, where the pendant was originally designed. I started my conversation with the jewelry shop via telephone, speaking with Shauna who listened to my questions and ideas and then started a file for me. Then I had an in person consultation with Drue at the store. She took my loose ideas on how to repurpose the stones from the original pendant and sketched several options. I wanted the new pendant to be similar in its design aspects to my fiances engagement ring, and Drue was able to capture those elements perfectly into the new piece. As we iterated on the design, we arrived at the perfect piece. After I left the store, Drue kept me up to date on the progress of the piece via email, and notified me when she had put it in the mail. I presented the piece to my fiance on a vacation trip and she loved it; She felt that it was a perfect match to her ring. I had the piece designed for our wedding day, but I know that this piece will become a staple in her jewelry collection for the rest of time. Thank you Drue and everyone at Drue Sanders Custom Jewelers.

Cassandra D I had to get my watch repaired and I decided to go with Dorothys Fine Jewelry to get it repaired. I had a very positive experience with them. Dorothy the owner and the two ladies that helped me, named Kelly and Gina are all very nice and Im so glad I went with them to fix my watch. Its an old, very good watch that was my Aunts, and was handed down to me in the family when my Aunt passed away. Im so glad I had it repaired because its a very good watch, but also its a memory of my Aunt and now I can wear it since it works again since Dorothys repaired it.

Jennifer Lesinski My husband and I had a great experience with Forsythe Jewelers for a recent repair and diamond purchase. We worked with Linda and found her to be extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did we end up with a beautiful diamond upgrade but we learned so much in the process that will make us better consumers in the future. We highly recommend them!

Christian Santana Wow. It was my nieces sweet 16 and I was looking all around NYC deciding where to get her the iced out name plate necklace she’d been asking for. This was my first time making such a big jewelry purchase so I had a lot of questions, but Chelsea made it such a pleasurable experience. She handled all my questions, made sure I had a full understanding of what I was purchasing, all my options and how the process would work. The necklace was stunning and my niece loved it. I’ll definitely be coming back for future purchases. Chelsea THANK YOU! For turning a headache into a a seamless experience. FROST THANK YOU! For the A1 product.

Judi Jeffer Love this little place. They have the coolest jewelry. Great food items. And of course the coffee. Got this awesome saddle ring last trip
