My husband bought his wedding band from Glennpeter's in fall of 2025. Unfortunately, a few months later while responding to a fire call, the ring got crushed inside of his glove upon cracking a door down. Glennpeters fixed his ring for free (they essentially gave him a new one for free because the first one was crushed) and thanked him for his service. Wow! Kindness goes such a long way. Thank you read more

Terrible customer service. Was unfortunately linked up with a former employee who out right lied to us and sold us a ring that will never fit me. Employee has since been fired. The resolution was to order the same ring in my size. This was July 2025 and we are now in December 2025 and not a soul can tell us where this ring is. We will be taking Glennpeters to small claims court to get a full refund read more

I had an extremely disappointing and frankly insulting experience at this jeweller. I brought in a 3 carat natural diamond ring--a significant, high-value piece--and was absolutely stunned when they offered me $450 for it. That offer wasn't just low; it was offensive. It showed either a complete lack of respect, or a blatant attempt to take advantage of me. But it didn't stop there. After making that laughable offer, they had the audacity to suggest I trade my natural 3 carat diamond for a much smaller lab-grown diamond. As if I wouldn't know the difference--or worse, as if I wouldn't care. It was incredibly shady, and felt like a deliberate attempt to scam me. I've since had my ring appraised by two reputable professionals, and unsurprisingly, it's worth many thousands more than what I was offered here. This place clearly preys on people they assume don't know better. If you have anything of real value, do yourself a favor and steer clear. There is absolutely nothing honest about how they operate. read more

Several years ago, Glennpeter Jewelers on Central Avenue in Albany created an engagement ring for me. Paula is the name of the sales person who helped me. Both my husband and I were very happy with the purchase. Recently, I was alarmed to discover the engagement ring was slipping off my finger due to weight loss. I went back to Glennpeter Jewelers. Paula was there to help me again. She remembered me. She shined up my ring and put a ring guard on it. She did it so efficiently. My ring hasn't fallen off since. My thanks to Paula and the rest of the staff at Glennpeter for their quality service, care and expertise. read more

Erin went above and beyond to help my fiancé and I pick out our wedding bands. The store is very clean and everyone is super friendly there. Highly recommend! read more

I actually worked for this company a couple of decades ago. I ran the Manufacturing and Repair Center. I can say truly without prejudice that this company puts out a vastly superior product. They employ some of the most talented craftspeople who take so much pride in their work product and they never lose sight of the fact that the articles of jewelry that they are involved with also have powerful emotions attached to them. Superior merchandise and competitive pricing make Glennpeter a must to consider when you want a new piece or have a precious item in need of repair. read more

I had the most amazing experience at this jeweler. They went above and beyond to make sure I got what I wanted. I will be forever grateful for Paula and the manager. I will be referring everyone I know here! read more

I don't usually post public reviews, but I was so disappointed with our experience here. We had booked 3 forever bracelet appointments for my mom's birthday, which was difficult to plan as she lives out of town and my sister and I have two children. We booked our appointments approximately 2 weeks prior, as their website says that you should book your appointment 3 days in advance to ensure a jeweler and the chain you want are available. I sent a simple, detailed description of what we wanted per their instructions. I received two confirmation emails for our appointment. We arrived on our scheduled date. We walked in, and the staff had NO idea that we had an appointment. Absolutely no clue or documentation of such. One of the workers went into the back and brought out a Tupperware box and threw it down on the table and said "well, that's all we have. You can dig around in there if you want something." There was one chain option. ONE. Their website had many to choose from, which is why we decided to go with Glennpeter. I am so disappointed because this was for my mom's birthday and I took all of the necessary steps to ensure that they would have what we needed. It was so unprofessional. Then the jeweler came over and said "the small chains break, I wouldn't get them." So not only was he telling us that his product was not well made, but he didn't even have the product to speak of. I cannot recommend enough to NOT book an appointment through this company. They didn't even offer to reschedule our appointment read more

I love Glennpeter Jewelers! I recently had a repair done and Jason was wonderful ! He made sure that I was completely satisfied with their work! I was!!! Ask for Sarah at the repair table at the back! Tell her Cordell sent you' read more

Multiple time customer and was my go-to jewelry store up until this recent experience. Dropped an item off for repair. Was quoted a price. A week later, receive a call that they now want $100 more for the repair. Nothing changed, they just wanted more money. Another local store is doing the work for less then the initial quote. Not good business practice or customer service. Lost a customer with this experience. Will also be letting friends and family know to avoid. read more

My husband purchased my engagement ring from Glennpeter, and we also got our wedding bands here. Mary and Tracey were wonderful to work with and provided us with fair prices on all of our pieces. We actually purchased the rings from their Clifton Park location which is a small fraction of the size of this store, but have since had multiple services done here. Since being married, both ladies are now working at this location as well, so it's been great to see familiar faces. I have a warranty on both my engagement ring and wedding band, and part of that includes having your ring inspected twice a year. I've gone in a few times to have that done now, and have had nothing but great experiences. The process takes maybe 10 minutes, and they then proceed to clean your ring, making it look super sparkly and new. They even return it to you atop a silver Hershey kiss, a nice touch. Another service I had done at Glennpeter was having to have my wedding band cut off while pregnant. As awful as this sounds, it really wasn't THAT bad. The removal actually did seem to take a while, due to my band being pretty thick. But once I gave birth and had it resized, you cannot whatsoever tell that it was ever cut off. The store itself is absolutely beautiful. Everything sparkles (obviously that's the point). They have a lounge area as well as a bar area, and I believe a private room to host parties (interesting concept). I haven't had the urge to purchase a new piece of fine jewelry, but if I do, I will for sure be returning here. read more

This review is not about the jewelry - it is for recognizing an organization that gives so much back to the community - the Diamond Center is a lovely location chock full of beautiful things - but perhaps the most beautiful of all is that they host wine tastings with food and fundraise for charities - their Wall of Love has tiles from countless organizations they have helped. And, yes, while you are enjoying chats and beverages and food, you can stroll around the store with a discount during the event you are attending. It is a great way to get people into a jewelry shop who might not normally enter one - but the personnel there, especially Paula, are really customer-focused and all about the community.They have given MILLIONS in donations!!! read more

My family purchased me a beautiful garnet ring from Glennnpeter diamond center on Central Ave. I needed to follow back up in order to get it sized. I live out of town, and I went in and Paula Pierro worked very hard to ensure the ring was re sized within the hour, so I would have it safe with me, when returning home. Wonderful customer service!! read more

My wife brittani and I spent 10k on an engagement ring here. It has lost multiple diamonds within a couple times of wearing it. She had to have it fixed 3 times so far. The ring turns her finger green. She no longer wants to even wear the ring because it is missing diamonds and broken looking more then is fixed and she is embarrassed that it looks like this and her finger is green. We wanted to return the ring for a refund and were told no. They only want to fix it and give it back. We have been ripped off and will never purchase or reccomend glen Peter's to anyone. read more

I purchased an engagement ring setting from Glennpeter diamond center. They provided an excellent customer experience. The timeliness of their work and the quality of their customer service have secured me as a return customer. Upon entering the beautiful store, an employee helped me almost immediately. The sales person, Mariana, was patient and helpful while I looked through countless rings. She did a great job of listening to my budget and style preferences when choosing a setting. Additionally, the store manager came over several times throughout the process to ensure everything was going well. He was very nice and it was nice to see his concern for the quality of customer service and jeweler work. I was looking to buy a setting asap, and Mariana helped me to find a beautiful setting that could be ready the same day! Additionally, I forgot to ask for a custom engraving while I was at the store. I called Mariana, and she took care of it so that the ring was engraved and ready for my pick up the same day. My fiancé and I are both so happy with the ring! Thanks Glennpeter! read more

Great jewelry store. Service was great. I worked with one their jewelers to design a custom ring for my wife and it was a great experience. The guy I worked with was super cool and you could tell he genuinely loved what he did and he kept in touch with me throughout the experience. He would send me proofs and I'd make changes to fit the vision I had in my head and he never once got upset or frustrated with me. He took my drawing I did on paper and converted it the software. The diamonds I wanted were pretty rare and they actually went to jewel show down in NYC to get exactly what I wanted. Since we purchased the ring, they've done the warranty check ups 2 times per year and on one occasion they had to replace a few diamonds on the band's of he pavé set and the turnaround was quick. Overall a great experience. read more

Sorry to say I didn't have a good experience here tonight (maybe not so sorry). The boyfriend and I went in to look at engagement rings for the first time and was never approached for the first 10 minutes. Finally a nice young man greeted us and asked if anyone was helping us. After saying no he asked if we just got there. We again said no and he apologized, then offered us a beverage (wine, beer, water). He asked how he can help and after telling him why we were there he showed us where to look. He was very nice and said he would be back to go over a few things with us. Well, he was helping someone else and got busy with them so we just looked around for a while. No one else approached us the whole time we were there (30 minutes). There were 3 other employees there (besides the man helping us), talking and laughing amongst themselves, the whole time. My boyfriend and I became upset over the non-customer service and left. I had high hopes for Glennpeter's and was VERY disappointed. We won't be returning and definitely won't be buying our rings here. 2 stars only because we were approached by a nice young man who attempted to help us. read more

If I could give Glennpeter 10 stars I would. My fiance got my engagement ring here and several other pieces of jewelry and every piece of jewelry I have from them is not only beautiful, but everyone there has been sweet and super helpful! When my fiance was looking for my engagement ring last year, they worked with him for over a month to find the perfect setting! They go above and beyond what any other jeweler would do! Specifically, Allen Johnson, the manager at the Diamond Centre will move mountains to get you what you want! I had the pleasure of dealing with him daily for the past week and he was always available and professional! If you need any type of jewelry I would recommend going to Glennpeter Diamond Centre over anywhere else! read more

So my now wife and I have bought her engagement and our wedding rings at this store with a lifetime warranty. It's easy to be caught up in the emotion of it all, we even sent pictures to the store. Unfortunately, my wife came in late for an inspection for the lifetime warranty we purchased, being 9 months pregnant and her mother recovering from chemo, she had forgotten. With tears, she had informed me that they constantly quoted contract law to her and told her they will no longer honor the lifetime warranty because of her breach of contract, thus we do not get the value of what we paid for. I came into the store and questioned this, I was quoted, more than once, about the contract and letter of the law. Now I understand technicalities and legal protection, but I also understand how lifetime warranties have been honored in the past, 6 month increments of coverage, not including gaps but covering it again upon the next inspection in another 6 month interval if the ring and diamond is in perfect condition. Well my wife's ring is in perfect condition, and there is no claim to repair or fix it, which is also agreed by the store, but again was quoted contract breach and that the 'old' way of honoring these contracts are no longer viable because the store is under new ownership. I wish I had known that their 'old' business practice, which is why I had bought it in the first place, in honoring a lifetime warranty was apt to change over the course of the ring's lifetime. Please be careful of empty promises to lure you into additional purchases, then have them act like a contract lawyer after they have their money from you. read more

Bought our engagement ring and wedding bands here. I can tell you they are at a different level of professionalism when compared to other jewelry stores. When picking out our engagement ring, I must have visited 7-8 times, I have put deposit on a ring and went back on it later because they continued to show me better selections. If you are looking for a one of a kind engagement ring, they will spend their time and find it for you. They won't push you to just pick the first ring you see and finish the transaction, I must have seen over 10+ diamonds before picking one. I highly recommend this place for their service and professionalism. read more

My fiance and I have been working with Paula. She is hands down the best! She worked very closely with my Fiance to pick out the perfect engagement ring, you could tell she really listened because it came out perfect! My Birthday was also a few months ago and she helped me pick out the most beautiful earrings, they match my ring :) She planned a wine tasting event for our wedding party which was amazing. I got to wear a Diamond Tiara and tasted some great wines and nice food spread, yum. Currently we are working together on our wedding bands. She worked with us and our budget and she is very fair and honest. We love her! read more

My experience at Glennpeter, and with Ryan specifically, could not have been more fantastic. I came here to purchase an engagement ring, and I had several very specific attributes that I wanted the ring to possess. However, these attributes were not necessarily complementary of one another, or likely to coexist in a single ring. Nevertheless, Ryan patiently wrote down everything that I was looking for, and proceeded to show me a gorgeous array of rings. He dealt honestly with me, and at no point did he give me the hard sell or pressure me to buy something more expensive. A customer buying an engagement ring is incredibly vulnerable, but rather than take advantage, Ryan and his colleagues were totally straightforward. In fact, they made several crucial suggestions to optimize the ring's appearance that actually lowered the overall price tag. The ring needed to be special ordered, so Ryan promised to keep me updated throughout the process. And he kept his word more conscientiously than I ever thought possible. He informed me, via text, e-mail, and/or phone call, every time there was a development. I had some timing considerations, so he convinced the manufacturer to push the completion date forward by nearly a week. It was clear that he was as committed to getting everything perfect as I was, and he succeeded brilliantly. In the end, Ryan was one of the first people to whom I sent a post-proposal picture. At Glennpeter, I have not simply gained a trustworthy jeweler; I have gained a reliable and supportive friend. For a major jewelry purchase, you would be crazy to go anywhere else. read more

My husband and I came to Glennpeter last weekend. A saleswoman finally approached us after looking around for 15 minutes. A little pushy, but friendly. We were really turned off by the sales associate sleeping behind a small wall right smack in the middle of the sales floor. The lack of professionalism was blatant. read more

My now Fiance and I worked directly with Allen Johnson who was able to take us through an exciting adventure in picking out the perfect diamond. He had us go through a huge selection until we filtered it down to the exact one we wanted. We didn't feel pushed or rushed to make decisions. He took his time and was extremely patient with us as we are very picky :). After picking the stone and finalizing price the next day he was able to have me pick it up that same day! No other place has come close in comparison to Glennpeter Jewelers Diamond Centre. The stores presentation, cleanliness was remarkable. The fireplace and wet bar added such a comforting feeling when visiting back each time. We will continue to purchase all of our jewelery from them as well as cleanings done regularly for no additional cost. They said we could even come in everyday if we wanted to! As a closing statement I definitely wanted to again thank Allen Johnson for taking us through the exciting journey of picking the ring out. Nobody could do it better or make us feel more comfortable than we did with him. If i had to do it all over again I wouldn't have changed a thing. Hands down the best place you could go, with the highest excellence and professionalism around. read more

Got contacted by a manger. He apologized personally for his employees and was very professional. Offered me an in-store gift card but i moved out of NY state. I guess the only problem i had is me wasting my time there and several trips i had to make for a simple ring resizing. But it all water under the bridge. Pretty cool that he contacted me personally. read more

My wife's diamond fell out of her setting. I knew I needed to find a place we could trust, so we went to Glennpeter Jewelers. We were warmly greeted by Tracy Lewis who was helpful and knowledgable about how to proceed with selecting a new setting. She shared with us the reason why the diamond came loose from it's original setting (we had the ring for 20 years). We learned about the different types of gold and chose what best fit the diamond we had. Tracy was very accommodating since we wanted it done within two weeks. I can not thank them enough for their wonderful service! We will be back! read more

I have an automatic watch that had a hand come loose and so I brought it in for service. I told the clerk that I needed the hand reattached and that the watch has been giving me trouble with staying running. She mentioned that due to its age, it would need to be serviced. She also mentioned that the shop does not have a watchmaker on site and the watch would need to be sent out to be worked on. Be prepared to wait. It takes about 2 months for work to be completed. When I got the watch back, The hand had been reattached, but not serviced. For $10, I thought this was a decent price, till I noticed all the dirt on the face on the watch. I promptly told the clerk that I wanted all the dirt the watchmaker added to my watch removed. 2 months later the watch returned. I inspected the face of the watch and about 90% of the dirt had been removed. I was not happy. I was going to take the watch and go elsewhere, but when I tried to wind the watch, the stem fell out. Another 2 months and the stem has been reattached. The 10% dirt was not removed as per my request. I understand that this is not a watch costing thousands of dollars and it seems as if the watchmaker was put off by working on it. I would not recommend having a watch serviced at this location. I plan to get the watch serviced elsewhere. read more

5 stars is not enough to thank Glennpeter Jewelers for their exceptional service during my engagement ring purchase. Amanda worked with me every step of the way, going above and beyond to make sure the ring was exactly what my fiancé wanted. She did not pressure me, was understanding of my budget, and made the overall experience as stress free as possible (the complimentary blue moons helped too). I would highly recommend a trip to this jewelry story for anyone who's looking to propose! read more

I had a lovely experience. The staff is so friendly. Someone greeted me at the door and directed me right away to a staff member who could help me. Everyone was so nice and very helpful. Drinks are offered to you while making your purchases...it's a great environment. Allen was very helpful in making it a wonderful experience for my fiancé and I. We were able to have the ring customized to be exactly what she wanted. Allen made this all happen. I would recommend everyone to make their next purchase from here. Thanks so much again! read more

I had been looking for the perfect engagement ring for a while and checked out several other dealers in the area who all seemed very pushy and really didn't have my best interests in mind. I went with advice from a family member and met with Allen Johnson at Glennpeter's and had nothing short of an outstanding experience. Walking in I knew almost nothing about diamonds but had a pretty good idea of what I wanted. After taking the time with me explaining about diamonds and the 4 C's etc Allen took my vision and put together the most perfect ring I could ask for. Allen is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and professional. I would point anyone looking for jewelry in his direction in an instant. Everyone we've encountered at Glennpeter's was just outstanding and truly provided exemplary customer service. Will recommend time and time again. Also, you can't beat the Sam Adams they have on tap there...a nice touch! read more

I am not a diamond type of girl, so when I went for a ladies shopping date at Glennpeter on Central Ave, I expected to be underwhelmed. OH HOW WRONG I WAS ~~ This location offered treasures for every taste and every price range. My visual senses were piqued by a vast selection of unique ~ traditional and non-traditional jewelry that made my head swirl. Staff was so very welcoming, but at no time did I feel like anyone was hovering. My perception of jewelry shopping was heightened to a new level thanks to this Glennpeter location. Ahhh, but now I must go back and narrow my list of "must haves" ... Thank You Glennpeter for making jewelry shopping a joy !!! (Truth: I hate to shop but love having a reputation for unique style ... I finally found a place to accommodate all my needs) read more

Had a great experience purchasing an engagement ring and wedding bands with Ryan Gaffney. He was very accommodating , made good suggestions, and ended up coming up with a modification for my fiancée's wedding band that ended up greatly improving the appeal. Would highly recommend anyone that's looking to make those "life changing" purchases to stop by and see Ryan at Glenpeter Jewelers. read more

The best jewelry store in the Capital Region! Paula, Al and Dave always take such amazing care of me and my fiancé. They treat us like family, and go above and beyond no matter what we ask. Go see them, you will not be disappointed! read more

This place is especially dear to my fiance and I's hearts because its where he got the engagement ring. My fiance found this place after researching where to get my engagement ring. I was surprised when he took me here to get an idea of what I liked and to get my size-I was totally expecting a little corner shop in a mall. This place is very grand-it's almost ALMOST like the entrance of Tiffany's-there are tall pillars with a vaulted ceiling-which gives it a spacious and grandiose feel. There is also a fireplace in one corner with a lounge couch. Not to mention there is a bar with a mounted flat television. The service was incredibly helpful, friendly and very personable. We actually got help fro the owner which was surprising to us. We told him we were getting an engagement ring and my fiance knew what kind he wanted so he helped us to that area and told us about the need to knows of diamonds. After, we got complimentary wine to celebrate! It was just a lovely experience. We will be going back to get our wedding bands here! read more

Beyond upset with this place, Before purchasing from Glennpeter's we thought so highly of this place but when my fiancé and I went in to purchase his ring everything seemed to go ok, The salesman was friendly, advised that we get 50% off my fiancé's ring because he had purchased my engagement ring and band from them, I paid cash and they gave me a receipt, all seemed fine. Then my fiancé went in to pick up the ring and they ordered the wrong one (which would have been no big deal, mistakes happen) but then they tried to say he owed another $250 for the right one. I called and flipped and was told that the salesman should have called to get the price of gold and that we should not have gotten 50% off his ring (which everyone in that place initially stated we would get). I AM NOT A JEWELER and no one ever said any of this beforehand, then after a half hour on the phone the very snotty sales manager (woman) stated (AFTER I told her I had an invoice stating I owed $0 balance) that because they are a reputable company that they will honor the price. If you were reputable I would not have had to fight with you over what your salesman messed up. On TOP of that when he went back in to pickup the CORRECT ring they STILL tried to charge him and try to play like I never had that conversation with the sales manager. Left such a bad taste in our mouth. We will NEVER go here again and have been sure to tell others to beware when purchasing anything from Glennpeter read more

Fantastic staff and selection. The store is absolutely gorgeous. I have attended several events here and it's always too-notch. Love this place. Love the people. read more
