The old man in the back - the jeweler- I assume the owner, is a rip off artist. I brought a chain in. He said $15 I picked it up. It broke outside. I brought it back in. He said that's not his repair and now he's charging me another $15 to fix it. So it's not even worth it to begin with. It was only a silver chain. Watch out he's a con artist from way back. read more

My husband gave me an emerald and diamond ring before he passed away. I don't wear fancy jewelry much, but I took it out to give to my daughter, so I decided to have to cleaned up. Since my physical therapy was across the street street, I decided to take it to Korona. Mistake. I have 20/20 vision up close since I'm near sighted. Someone working on my ring switched the emerald, I now have a lesser value stone with a big black flaw , that wasn't there before. Very sad that I was taken advantage of by what I thought was a trustworthy jewelry company. Go somewhere else, go to someone you know and trust, map it out visually with the jeweler before you leave your precious jewelry to anyone. I learned my lesson. read more

I wandered in here recently. I had a little time to kill while someone was running an errand. I don't buy much jewelry, so I'm not really a good customer for them, but I have to say, there were some beautiful things here. No question about it. It seemed to me there were many price points, so likely something for everyone. The store has been around for perhaps a 100 years according to the salesperson I chatted with for a moment. Oldest jewelry store in Buffalo I think was said. That may be, but the styles are up to date. They also have watch batteries and do repairs etc. They have some vintage items too, which were pretty interesting. read more

I had the best time creating my engagement ring with Joe and Noreen at Korona Jewelry. I live in Los Angeles and was completely intimidated to get taken advantage of in this town when it came to such an important endeavor. We were referred to Joe and Noreen by my fiancé's step dad and I could not be more grateful. I felt immediately comfortable upon entering their store. And the time they took with me felt genuine and not like their main motivation was to make a sale. Additionally I was gifted my grandmothers wedding band that I needed resized and cleaned. They had to send both my new ring and my grandma's ring in the mail to Los Angeles. They assured me that it would be very secure and that this was common practice but I was still so nervous. I had my fiancé call like twice a week until it arrived and they never seemed annoyed about it. They would look up the tracking number and quell my fears even though I'm sure it was pretty annoying being that they must do this all the time. I found the entire process to be very easy and enjoyable. And on top of it all I felt like they were extremely fair priced. I think my fiancé would have paid double had we gotten the same thing out here. It's also very cool that their family has been in business since 1900! I very highly recommend Korona Jewelry, even to my friends out here on the West Coast. It is worth the trip when it's something that's so important. You have to get it right. Thank you Joe and Noreen! read more

I would never return to this jewelry store. Worst customer service and terrible business practice. My fiancé and I went in for an appraisal for an engagement ring. Joseph, the owner, was friendly enough and did the appraisal. After the appraisal was completed and paid for, we got to talking about my ring and I said that I could sometimes notice the inclusions. He asked for the ring back and determined that it should maybe not be rated at the rating he gave but that it was a very borderline and difficult call to make so he would leave the appraisal description as is. We then left the store. My fiancé went to pick the appraisal documents up the next day and was told the appraisal description was changed to a lower clarity grade then originally determined and paid for. We went back to the store together and asked why he changed it after we had paid and believed one thing when he had in fact done another. He claimed that after thinking about it it was not a correct determination. He then got incredibly snippy with us and said "well, what do you want to do? Money back or do you want me to change it?" We asked for our money back. After he issued the return he stated that he did not like the ring we had purchased, which was an incredibly rude and an unprofessional statement to make. I would never recommend this jeweler to anyone. read more

I can't say enough about my experience in working with Korona Jewelry. To start, this is a family-run business that makes you feel as if you are their only customer. The owners took time to educate me on the history and origins of certain diamonds, what makes a diamond clean, etc. You can tell they are in this business to educate you on your investment and help you make an informed decision, not make a quick buck and be done with you. Above and beyond that, their prices are extremely reasonable. Every thing that I was considering for my ring was customized to my liking. There was zero pressure to purchase from these folks and that is exactly why I chose Korona Jewlery to custom design my engagement ring. They are a perfect fit for Hertel Ave. and I will be back in the future. read more
