Schooleys Jewelers - Ithaca (NY)

5 /5 Kate Browning: Schooley’s was awesome. I personally chose them over other jewelers after feeling like other stores treated shoppers with higher budgets with more attention and courtesy. Dave was incredibly nice and everyone else in the store was very welcoming. I had three pieces: 1) a loose mystery stone from my mother that I thought was glass 2) an old aquamarine ring that I inherited from my grandmother and 3) an engagement ring that was too big. The loose stone was actually an aquamarine and I had it made into a pendant. Dave was awesome throughout the entire process and I love the final product. I asked for the ring to be resized after contemplating having it reset — and even though it was less money for Schooley’s they respected my decision that the original setting was sentimental to me. The ring is amazing and so clean I hardly recognized it My engagement ring was resized in just a few days and is flawless as well. Overall 10/10 and 5 stars :)

5 /5 Quick & Clean Express Detailing: Stopped by the store to have a battery replaced in a MOVADO watch - fantastic customer service, very knowledgable, and an overall great experience. Thank you for the decades of work your family has put into the store ❤️❤️❤️

5 /5 Nicholas Snyder: I have been going to Schooleys for about two years now (off and on) for all my jewelry needs! I love 925 sterling silver and their selection is small-but what they lack in my department they make up for in so much more. The crew that works there is amazing, all have such unique personalities that its a new experience any time you shop! I love window shopping all the glittery diamonds and gold they have throughout the shop. They deeply care about any question I have, and give thoughtful answers so I actually understand the process of whats going on. Prices for ring repairs are always fair, and the timing is always wonderful!!! I will always go here first!!!

5 /5 Stephie Murray: Schooleys is a family-owned local business so for starters, you cant go wrong! The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Whatever you are looking for in a jeweler- they are it! If you need a watch battery to be replaced, a necklace repaired, custom work, or a special gift, they are hands down pleased to help! Finding exceptional jewelers who can be trusted is not easy. From the great customer service to high-quality bench work to beautiful pieces, you cannot go wrong. They have a large selection of unique jewelry at competitive pricing, as well as estate jewelry for those that love a rare find like me. They truly care about repairing broken jewelry just as much as they care to help you find the perfect diamond. They are all about making sure youre satisfied. They make sure to make every transaction a smooth one. I’ve had several pieces custom-made, and each time the turnaround time is remarkably quick and the craftsmanship impressive. As an added bonus, the window displays are stunning, the gift wrapping is gorgeous and during the Christmas holiday they have the perfect photo prop out front during store hours. This is always my favorite place to stop during festivals! Down to every tiny detail, they make sure that beautiful memories happen ❤️

1 /5 L D: I was selling a like new watch online That was priced the best out of ANYWHERE online. I was contacted by David who seemed interested and wanted to meet partway. I agreed and made it clear that I was not negotiable beforehand. After driving about half an hour to Meet David. He gave me a low offer that didn’t even closely resemble what that watch ever sells for and passed on the sale. shortly after leaving, David had the audacity to text me another offer that was even LOWER than his first in person and some lame negotiation tactic of how no service history on the watch (that’s only 3 years old) hurts it’s value dramatically, despite being plenty of comparisons online with no service history. At this point, I would usually ignore people, but I had to ask on why his offer was now lower? And his response was to cover his gas cost! As if that is only his problem And needs to be my responsibility!? I sold it a few days later to another person for my asking price with ease. I never went to schoolies for business, but feel as if this review is warranted based off what happened. could have gone many different ways that wouldnt involve David burning his precious gas
