5 /5 Kuppa Joe: Hidden gem in Watervliet. Two years ago I wanted to propose to the love of my life and I needed to make the moment special. I stopped into this very unassuming jewelry store and spoke with a very welcoming, kind, and energetic owner, Rafi. He was patient and took the time in getting to know who I am as well as educate me in all of my options. My wife inherited diamonds from her grandmother that I wanted to incorporate into her engagement ring. Rafi was able to blueprint a beautiful unique one-of-a-kind design that included her grandmothers diamonds with a single flawless diamond I was able to choose as the centerpiece.
The entire process was fast and efficient, and he informed me of each step along the way. We had great conversation and became friends during what could be considered a stressful process. And if you’re lucky enough, he may even sing you a beautiful tune before you leave. You can go to a large, cold and unwelcoming jeweler to be just another face or you can go to top custom jewelers and feel like you’re the only person that matters. Highly recommend. Thank you, Rafi!
