    I first encountered HVG while searching for a birthday gift for my partner. I walked in to David's store on a humid Wednesday evening wearing sweatpants and an old t-shirt, having just arrived from the gym. One look around his immaculate store and I realised I was woefully underdressed. Nonetheless, David greeted me with a handshake and a big smile, never once making me feel less than because of my out-of-place attire. He was so kind and courteous through the entire perusing and purchasing process that I knew exactly where I wanted to go whenever I mustered up the courage to ask my partner The Big Question. Fast forward a few months. I came to David with a vague idea of the kind of ring my partner and I would want, and he translated that idea into a beautiful product that my partner would like. "We can make as many adjustments as she likes," he said knowingly. It's like he read her mind without even meeting her. Three adjustments later and she now has a ring she loves from a jeweller we both adore. David was so thoughtful and patient through all our requests for changes. We couldn't have asked for a better experience as we embark on this exciting path together - and we already know where we're going to go for our wedding rings! I know this is a long read but we really do adore David this much. We have nothing but respect and admiration for such a fine businessman and excellent jeweller.

    I had a wonderful experience here. My husband and I went to find a unique band for our anniversary and the staff was very helpful and caring. I found an absolutely beautiful ring and I couldn't be happier with the quality. I highly recommend visiting, it was a great experience.

    "I never endorse a product unless I use it exclusively." This review has been a long time coming, but we couldn't have better things to say about David and his staff at HVG. After living in the City for years, we began coming up to New Paltz to get into the mountains on weekends and met David shortly after getting engaged. We both had very particular visions for wedding bands and knew we wanted rings hand made with care. We've attached pictures below, but the quality of the work speaks for itself. David worked with us and laid out options that both met our goals and stayed within our price range. He hand carved and stained a "Damascus" pattern into one white gold band, literally every line, for hours we're told. He was then able to engrave the pattern of one of our fingerprints into another rose gold band, and shape it to fit with an engagement ring from another jeweler. These pieces were truly one of most special parts of our wedding and we admire them every day. We've returned to HVG for for maintenance on the patina on one of the bands, which David gladly provided without charge. Since then, we've had several other custom pieces made at HVG. David has always patiently assisted us with our designs and each one of them has exceeded our expectations. The flower token below was taken from an image of the wallpaper at the inn where we got married. David created a mold for the token has has been able to fabricate several of them for us, as pendants and the "belt buckle" style bracelet in the picture. There seems to be no problem these folks can't solve and no goal they can't find a way to turn into reality. At this point, we stop in every time we're in NP just to say hi and catch up. The staff all love to talk about what they do, and have true expertise in fine jewelry, and stones. This allows them to help guide their patrons in making choices that lead to beautiful finished products. This is a staff with real creativity, unmatched skill, a deep love for their work, and access to high-quality materials. We've enjoyed every collaboration and are sure that these pieces will remain in our family well into the future. The dogs are adorable too! We recommend HVG to anyone looking for a truly special piece, a personal service. We will always go back to them with our needs as well.

    Most of jewelry from my Mom and Grandma was melted in house fire . Hudson Valley Goldsmith cleaned and melted the metals and helped me to created and made an everyday ring. I am happy to have my ring and ancestors with me . Love my ring .

    I wanted to give my fiancé grandmas ring, but it went through a lot of abuse just making it to the USA from Eastern Europe during WWII; let alone another 40 years of wear off and on. It needed to be resized, and new pearls had to be ordered, and attached with a special epoxy. The gold was in dire need of polishing and small tweaks here and there. I entrusted our family ring to David and his crew of artisan jewelers, and we could not be happier. Not only is the ring beautifully restored, we also ordered a wonderful accent piece to use as a wedding band. The band was custom made by David, and is a work of art! We are absolutely thrilled with the highly skilled craftsmanship, attentiveness, and hard work to get everything perfect. We will be repeat customers, thank you!

It's set up very nicely with lots of great items everywhere in all sorts of nooks and crannies displayed on interesting wonderful items. It's also pretty big so you can take your time to walk around and see everything. It's a fun boutique all in all. My friend and I walked in and the girl behind the counter was on her phone the whole time looking down and did not look up once. Ok, that's fine we don't always need a greeting when walking into a shop. However, there are lots of delicate items and I would think you would want to check in to see if the customer has any questions or want to see any of the items that are placed inside the display cases that have to be opened. There was silence until my friend asked if one of the items were vermeil gold or gold plated. She had no idea and was a bit taken aback by the question but then got up and went behind to look at some sort of book. So we figured she must be looking it up. We walk around some more and about a good 20 mins later we come back and ask her did you find out and her response was, "what?" This time I asked the same question and she responds that she doesn't know and she was just looking up prices. We never asked about prices. It was just so weird and obviously apparent she did not care and was not the owner. All I kept thinking was only if the owner knew how she was handling their store. We did end up purchasing items because like I said earlier they have some wonderful items but the customer service, rather lack thereof was just ridiculous.

Plus, I always love mixing old and new items in my home decor because it just feels more personal and layered for me. That's where Isabella's Treasures in New Paltz came in around late Fall '24. I wanted my tree dressed in time for Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, I'm that person who puts up the tree at least the day before and lights it during dessert time to kick off the holiday season. To my surprise, Isabella's had exactly what I was looking for: vintage ornaments in the perfect colors- each one unique, full of soul, and priced reasonably in the $4 to $8 range. Totally worth it for pieces I won't find anywhere else. The shop itself is a cozy treasure trove, filled with everything from jewelry, textiles, to jewelry boxes- both new and vintage. There's also an attached room with vintage board games and clothing (though I'm not sure if that's part of Isabella's Treasures or a neighboring vendor). Isabella herself is a doll- super helpful, warm, and even gave me some background stories on the ornaments I purchased. It made the whole experience feel extra special, like I was taking home tiny heirlooms with their own little history.

    Long story short:…read more Back in 2009, I had purchased a Good Cheer Company/Piece of The Puzzle Affirmation bracelet from a shop over on Abbot Kinney (Mystic Journey) and it was on me daily until around 2013 when it finally fell apart. $14 isn't too bad for something that lasted quite long, but the issue at hand was finding another one. I was fortunate enough to get the last one at the same shop that year, but fast forward to late March 2015, this one snapped and I was out of luck. I tried several local 'spiritual shops' and anywhere else I felt may carry such a line. I finally attempted to google almost any kind of name associated with the line, and Maglyn's extensive site was on the first page. I noticed a message board and was pleased to see how quickly they responded to customer's questions and requests. I noticed the message I had left myself a few months prior, but had forgotten to check back; as my bracelet was still in tact. The company had responded with an email address so I followed through to see if there was still any luck...I had struck gold. Realizing this was an actual brick and mortar shop in New York, the most helpful Rachelle and I kept in touch via email up to when she said the shipment had arrived. I called the following day and bought two of the three in their delivery. I sit here today less than a week later with two brand new puzzle bracelets, one going right on after I opened the carefully prepared package. When I make my way back east, I AM taking a road trip specifically up to New Paltz, NY to check out this gem of a shop and to thank Rachelle personally for helping me out with such a personal piece.

I stopped in the day before dropping it off to check how long it would take and was told a few days at most. I dropped it off on a Thursday and was told it might be done that day, probably by Friday, definitely by Saturday at the latest. They said they would call me to update me. No one called, and Saturday rolled around so I called and found it wasn't ready. We had a big party to attend the next day where everyone wanted to see the new ring and alas could not. We were both very disappointed I stopped in the following Tuesday and was told it would DEFINITELY be done by Thursday, someone would call me when it was ready. Thursday rolled around, and no one called. I called them and they said it would not be ready until Friday. This meant my fiance had to completely change her plans and drive an hour out of the way because it was late again. Thankfully, it actually was ready that day, but a week after we were originally told it would be ready, then again a day after we were guaranteed it would be ready again. The lady who I spoke with during the week was very apologetic and nice. I spoke with the owner once and he seemed clueless as to who I was and where my ring was, and did not seem to care. There is another lady who worked weekends who was not nice and very bossy with my fiance. It seems like no one really knows what is going on and I would not recommend this place to ANYONE. They charged us the full estimate despite all the F*** ups and getting the ring late. They did good work, however the overall experience was TERRIBLE and considering it was my fiance's new engagement ring, she was extremely disappointed, and rightfully so. GO ELSEWHERE.
