Ever since experiencing such compassionate service in preserving my mother's lapis lazuli necklace,…read moreI've since returned to repair another heirloom, a pink pearl necklace that needed a new clasp and restringing as well as tightening up the stone on my 1920s vintage art deco engagement ring. I also had a broken gold anklet chain soldered as well as a broken-off piece from a gold-plated hoop earring. The final item was a rare high-grade sugilite silver ring I had purchased back in August that needed gentle polishing. Everything was perfectly done. I had come in the week of Thanksgiving and all of it was done by the second week of December. Make sure to say hi to Dalia while you're there. Here's the pricing: $150 for restringing pearls and replacing the clasp and tongue; $40 for soldering the earring part; $35 for soldering the gold chain on the anklet; $50 for tightening the diamond on the engagement ring (they added more platinum to help secure the setting); and $70 for gently polishing the sugilite ring without scratching it! Check out the pics; happy holidays!

J R's Diamonds is the ONLY place I will ever buy jewelry. I can't tell you how many times over the…read morelast 4 decades I have gone to a mall jewelry store, then come to J R's and found out how badly the other stores were trying to rip me off. Jeff (and his staff) know more about diamonds than everyone else in the city combined. Over the years, I have probably made 50+ purchases at this business, with total confidence. I have saved thousands of dollars, but more importantly, since I TRUST them implicitly, it takes all the stress out of buying big ticket items. Every appraisal turns out to be accurate, and validated down the road. Jeff understands the market, and has TAUGHT me about VALUE for the majority of my life. I have never regretted anything I have invested my hard-earned money in here, even after following up and checking the competition. And this trust is also well-placed if I have something I want to sell. Jeff and his staff always give me the exact information and guidance that I need to make good decisions. My latest good decision is pictured here. A very special and unique diamond engagement ring, designed and created by J R's, based on my fiancé's heart's desire. It came out PERFECTLY. She was completely blown away, knees shaking with happiness when I opened the J R's jewelry box and revealed this gorgeous ring yesterday. And every person who has seen it so far is impressed if not overwhelmed. Of course, that is exactly what I wanted. I am so happy (way more than just "satisfied"), that I can't wait to come back to the store to show them how elegant it looks on her finger, and to show them her ear-to-ear smile, which hasn't lessened since the moment she saw it, and to express my undying appreciation. The people who work here actually care about me (and all their customers), and will absolutely share my joy. Take my word for it: Before you consider opening your pocketbook for an investment like this, you NEED Jeff (and co.) watching out for you.

More Than a Jewelry Store -- A Place That Holds Our Stories…read more My family has been coming to Generales & Generales Fine Jewellers since they first opened their doors in 1969, and I've lived just around the corner since 1984. In all that time, this store has quietly woven itself into the fabric of our lives -- not just as a business, but as a place where moments, memories, and meaning are handled with extraordinary care. Yes, the jewelry is beautiful. The workmanship is impeccable. But that's only the surface of what makes Generales & Generales so special. What truly distinguishes this place is the way people are treated -- with warmth, patience, and an instinctive understanding of what matters. There is a rare kind of judgment at work here: thoughtful, humane, and guided by a simple principle of doing right by the customer, always. Not because a policy demands it -- but because it's who they are. I was recently there to have a ring resized -- a ring that once belonged to my maternal grandfather. It's a small object, but it carries generations of history and emotion. From the moment I placed it in their hands, I felt something I can't easily put into words: complete trust. Not just in their skill, but in their respect for what that piece represented. It was handled as if it mattered -- because to them, it genuinely did. Peter and Sylvia, along with their entire staff, have a way of making you feel like you are the most important person in the room -- not in a performative way, but in a deeply human one. They listen. They remember. They care. Every visit feels personal, unhurried, and grounded in kindness. And here's the thing I find myself thinking almost every time I walk out the door: I wish I could give them more money than they charge. Not because of upselling or persuasion -- but because of how good I feel after being there. How respected. How reassured. How grateful. That feeling is priceless, and it's something Generales & Generales has been giving their customers for over fifty years. In a world where so much feels rushed, transactional, and impersonal, this place stands as a reminder of how powerful it is to simply treat people well. Generales & Generales doesn't just sell fine jewelry -- they safeguard trust, honor family stories, and build relationships that last generations. Peter, Sylvia -- thank you for what you do, and for the way you do it. Our neighborhood, and our family, are better for having you here.
