From the moment I walked in, Jon assisted us and helped me get a sentimental bracelet remade. I had worn it for eleven years, time and wear had caused it to break. They accepted the bracelet at the end of business day. Two days later it was completed. I'm over the moon with the quality, workmanship and customer service. I highly recommend this jeweler for all your jewelry and repair needs. It was a fair price too. I was visiting from out of town and was THRILLED to be able to wear it home. read more

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. read more

I rarely need dry cleaning services, but I spilled sauce on my favorite sweater...oh no, wait - that's what yelp told me to write. Let me start again. I brought in my partner's faux-pearl necklace to have it repaired per her request. I had dealings with both David and Nicole, and was quite charmed by both. Really just lovely people to deal with, and they did a fantastic job with the necklace, treating this piece of costume jewelry as I requested - as if it was a very valuable piece, because it is, to my partner. It came out looking beautiful, and since I wanted to present it to her for her birthday, I asked Nicole if she could put it in a gift box for me, and the gift box wowed me again. The job wasn't inexpensive, but I asked them to do the most with it that they could, and I feel I got what I paid for, not only in terms of the finished product (and the presentation, with that great gift box), but in terms of the stellar customer service I received. They do business here like it seems everybody used to do business (when small businesses roamed the prairie), but like very few indeed do anymore. Bravo, and thank you. read more

"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. read more

Beautiful jewelry (especially high quality diamonds) but what really stands out to me is the superlative quality of their goldsmith fabrication (and other) work. I'd say they're best in Hudson Valley when it comes to working on gold and/or platinum pieces. In my case, they put a hinge clasp on a very difficult gold and sapphire bangle and the workmanship was absolutely flawless. I'd trust them to enhance, fix, or restore any heirloom piece I have. read more

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! read more

I had always known I'd wanted a colorful engagement ring, perhaps with rubies. David took my very vague vision and turned it into a BEAUTIFUL design I loved from the start, incorporating both rubies and a family diamond from my mother. He did a great job of listening to my ring-related concerns (I wanted a low setting so it wouldn't catch on things) and combining them with my general aesthetic to mock up a ring I couldn't wait to see in person. His whole team went above and beyond to make sure I got a ring I loved and was excited to wear: when we came in to pick up my ring, the rubies were a very different shade of red then I'd wanted - closer to purple than red. I had a oddly emotional response - I'm not usually so reactive - but everyone at the shop immediately had suggestions for how we might solve the issue at hand and find rubies that matched my vision better. We scheduled a time for me to return and specifically choose which rubies I would prefer from their stock, and once I'd picked, they exchanged out the stones at no additional charge. My ring is beautiful, and it's all thanks to David and the rest of the staff at Hudson Valley Goldsmith. My now fiancé(!) and I have LOVED our experience so far with David putting together my engagement ring, and we can't wait to go back to get our wedding bands! read more

It is beautiful. read more

I just picked up two perfectly done alterations to important antique pieces and I am over the moon!

Wow. This place is amazing. I will honestly never buy jewelry from anywhere else again. Recently, the team at Hudson Valley Goldsmith custom made an incredible engagement ring for my fiance. Kaitlin had previously helped make two pieces of custom jewelry, both of which were beautiful, and I knew that the people had HVGS would deliver a perfect ring. Not only is the craftsmanship amazing here, but the people really care. Kaitlin and the rest of the team sat patiently with me for hours, and were willing and able to meet every single request I had (including all my stupid questions). It was so nice working with a group of genuinely talented, nice people. Not only did they sit down with me to go over my options, they actually went down to the Diamond District to pick up several gems to ensure that everything was perfect, letting me choose the exact one I wanted. The ring was beyond perfect and they finished everything early. Not only that, but the price was great and I never felt even the slightest pressure for an upsell. Every time I went into the store their entire staff was friendly and incredibly helpful. My fiance and I love this place. I never thought I'd have a family jeweler, but Hudson Valley Goldsmith changed that. If you want a great experience, amazing craftsmanship, and a group of people who genuinely care about you, look no further. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

For months, I had been looking unsuccessfully to replace the 15 yr. old pendant that I had been wearing every day and which had deteriorated. Ultimately went to Hudson Valley Goldsmith where they offered to make a replica of what I was replacing. Cost far exceeded what I was prepared to pay. John offered to look for something in a few weeks at upcoming show and I agreed. However, only 6 days later he emailed photos of 5 pendants produced by a designer he'd found. One of them looked like a duplicate of what I was replacing! Another 6 days and it was mine. More than what I had intended to spend but more than justified by the superior quality. I think they're still talking in the shop about the crazy woman who kept exclaiming how much she LOVED what they'd found for her. read more

I cannot say how much I love this place. In a world of never finding professionalism and caring, this place is SO out of the norm. They remember us every time we go in and their work is top quality. From getting custom work made to repairing old jewelry, I trust them completely. They are what other businesses should be. And they're talented. I can't recommend them enough. You won't go wrong here. And no, I'm not related to the owner. This is a true evaluation. That's how good this place is. read more

There's no better place for precious, one-of-a-kind gifts. David, Sarah and their extraordinary team have created several custom pieces for us - from sterling silver letter pendants to a stunning new platinum setting for my engagement ring. They even took apart some of my grandmother's old jewelry and used the stones to make earrings for our daughter. The artists featured in their pretty Main Street shop turn browsing into a treasure hunt, and the trunk shows are not to be missed. read more

This is THE experience anyone should have whilst searching for special treasure. A hidden gem, no pun intended. Before David and his team moved to their new location, my now, fiancé and I, were strolling though New Paltz's artsy town and decided to randomly take a gander on this jewelry shop hidden away. Not only do you receive the biggest smile from David instantly but this family owned business is full of that energy all around. We've been blessed to either get the warmest greeting from their pup, Ollie or his wife, Sara, passing on through with their son. The entire staffs energy seemed like an extension of family immediately. We had been searching for the perfect vintage engagement ring for quite some time and the first ring my fiancé set his eyes on was the one. We asked David to try it on but not only before we peered down and found a wedding band for my fiancé that David handcrafted himself. Could you believe they both fit us, perfectly ? We've since then designed my wedding band with David, whose always extremely eager to bring your idea to life but BETTER. We've also added some jewels on to the original wedding band for my fiancé. Our favorite piece that we've received, was an untouched organic yellow tear drop diamond, that David delicately wrapped in a thin gold lining and hung it from a gold chain. Symbol of purity. Resembled the jewel that's building fantasia at the end of The Never Ending Story. The restorative quality and choices are impeccable, while the artistry of their own work stands out amongst them. You'll definitely find an Incredible selection of vintage items as well as an Incredible selection of handcrafted work. We're consistently met with both top quality people and service. No regrets on that random stop that day. We have found our jewelers for life and always look forward to our next visit. A diamond in the rough!!! Much love, all the way from Brooklyn See you all soon. - Prescott and Angelica read more

My husband purposed to me with my great grandmother's ring. This ring had a lot of detail and I needed to find the perfect wedding band to match. We first went with Kay's Jewelry store and purchased a wedding band that just didn't fit right with my ring. It was way to modern and not unique enough for the type of antique ring that I had and plus I didn't want to support a big chain like this. I was nervous after we returned the ring that I wasn't going to find the perfect match. I looked up a bunch of jewerly stores online and came across Hudson Valley Goldsmith and saw so many beautiful pictures of jewelry that was hand made at the actual shop. When my husband and I entered the store we were greeted by David with such warmness. We told him about our situation and he was so welcoming with ideas. The smiths at HVG did amazing custom work to recreate the intricate design on my great grandmother's ring, onto the band. They truly created the most perfect band to fit around my grandmothers ring. We are so happy to find a jewelry store that we trust. read more
