Romanation Jewelers - Troy (NY)

Katie Santner What a gem of a store! This family-owned antique shop is truly a treasure trove, filled with a wide variety of unique items—from vintage collectibles to absolutely stunning fine and antique jewelry. Every piece seems to have a story, and the entire space feels warm, welcoming, and full of character. Katherine and Chris are incredibly knowledgeable—they’ve been collecting their whole lives, and Katherine’s passion for jewelry really shines through. She and Chris were so kind and helpful when I stopped in to find a special maid of honor gift for my sister. With their guidance, I found the sweetest, most meaningful vintage bracelet that I know she’ll treasure forever. And I cant forget to mention Rosebud, their sweet dog, who was the friendliest greeter! She made the whole experience even more special. You can tell how much heart and hard work has gone into building this store. After everything local businesses have faced since COVID, it feels especially important to support small, family-run stores like this one. Shopping here isnt just about finding something beautiful—its about being part of a community and supporting people who truly care about what they do. Can’t recommend it enough if you’re in the area! I’ll definitely be back anytime I’m visiting ADK!

M L jeff and linda are refreshingly genuine people. my husband and i stopped in for a jewelry repair and were not disappointed. absolutely delightful turn around time and the price was more than fair. we are thrilled to have found a new jeweler--one that is honest, knowledgeable, and genial. so happy with the repair, the shop, and the fun customer service!

Ronnie Gregory A fantastic store with a wonderful, caring and patient staff!

Nadine Ive known Joe and Ina for many years, from when they were in Forest Ave, flea market! They both will go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. They truly have a unique shop, lots of vintage jewelry, I think thats what drew me to them in the first place, nothing is same ole same ole. I was so happy to see theyre still in business on New Dorp Lane, since Ive been off the island for over 8 years. I travelled to them from upstate NY to get my granddaughter a piece of jewelery for her 18th birthday and graduation. As soon as I walked in Ina remembered me, we had some nice conversation and a pleasant shopping experience! As always they are 2 very fine people along with their son Gary, and Im so happy we were able to do business! Thank you so much, I will only buy from your shop. Happy to see you both, Nadine

Michael S It was an inviting atmosphere. Truly a great experience. Wonderful jewelry and I got a great find.

Lennox Boston Excellent experience, he made sure I was good and even gave me advise for the Rolex I wanted. Highly recommended and would use him as one of those spots I go to to compare prices and he’s real honest.

Kamla Singh Stay away from liberty gold bayo steel, I took a diamond ring to size and he steel the diamond and replaced it with a tiny stone so low and he thinks I wouldnt notice. He dont deserve any star.

brian murphy Gary was really great! He helped me out with sizing my 5 watches today and he was so efficient. He also had me try on each watch to make sure they all fit to my liking. Great sense of humor as well. I would highly recommend Strauch Jewelers! Great work Gary!

Elya Tagar Maybe the most lovely shop in Dumbo, with a speakeasy at the back… perfect.
