This diamond and ruby 40th anniversary band is so gorgeous! It looks like a crown for my finger and I enjoy seeing it 40 times a day. My loving husband stopped into Paul's store in Albany, NY, on his lunch breaks and over a few years, gifted me some pairs of diamond, and diamond and sapphire earrings, vintage and modern. There is something for every budget, and the place is as you might expect, is dazzling. Debbie was most helpful and friendly with a quote and reworking a pair of earrings I had laying in my jewelry box for years. I love wearing them again. Thanks Paul and Debbie, for making me look and feel great!

I was visiting Albany for the day and realized my new watch needed a safety chain added. I stopped…read moreby Truman Jewelers in the hope they might be able to accommodate me on a very tight time table. Megan Olson, one of the in-house jewelers, quickly assessed my need and suggested a custom solution which could be constructed that afternoon. She showed me the materials, explained how she would connect the safety and carefully measured so it would fit securely. The price was very reasonable. The work was completed within the hour. I've been wearing the watch for almost a month since the work was done and the safety is very secure and works perfectly! I was pleasantly surprised they could accommodate an out of town walk-in customer and accept a rush job so late in the day. The watch safety provided peace of mind during the rest of my travels. My only regret is that Truman Jewelers is not located in my home state! My trusted local jeweler retired and I wish I could find a company like Truman's in my area to replace my past jeweler. I value professionalism, excellent workmanship, good value and being treated with friendly courtesy. Truman Jewelers delivered all of that and more. Even more impressive since they knew I was a visitor and wasn't a potential long term customer!

I brought in two watches for repair -- one a battery replacement, the other a small repair on a vintage watch -- and Nur completed the work in less than twenty minutes and cleaned both watches, all for $15.

We have been customers of hers for decades and continue to be so despite our having moved out of the US. There are no finer and more trustworthy persons in the jewelry business than Sondra and her son Anthony. In fact I am writing this review while awaiting a call from Sondra in order to have her tell me that she has THE bracelet I've been looking for to give to my wife. There is no question in my mind that she will select precisely what my wife would had she selected it herself. You couldn't do better anywhere.

I went to Sondra's 9 years ago because I always heard them advertising on ESPN Radio. Anthony spent hours with me teaching me all about Diamonds and Rings. He ordered many diamonds and helped me pick just the right one. He explained the reasons behind each metal and why I would want to choose a platinum setting for our Tiffany style engagement ring. This was crucial as the ring went 8 years before it experienced any damage. I was in my early 20s and Sondra's let me make weekly payments for many many months without interest or fees until the ring was paid off and I was ready to propose. We moved out of state and were still planning our wedding. We corresponded by email with Anthony about the wedding bands knowing we would only see them 2 days before the wedding and they had to be perfect as there would be no time to change them out. They were perfect. This weekend we went back to Sondra's to have the aforementioned damage repaired and I haven't seen Anthony in probably 5 years and he remembered me and remembered where I worked 5 years ago. Amazing. The repairs were fantastic and super affordable. I am forever in debt to Anthony and Sondra's for teaching me about jewelery and changing my life. Thank you!

After I paid him his full fee, I listened to him tell me all about the grandfather clock industry. He then spent a couple hours tinkering with the grandfather clock, at the end of such time he turned palms up and said he could not fix it without a complete replacement of the inner workings (my word, not his). I asked him the cost of such a repair/replacement, and he quoted me a fee of $2,000.00. Of course, that quote was outrageous, so we parted ways. To look at his website, one would think he was competent to fix any grandfather clock that does not run. I then found another more knowledgable grandfather repairman, who fixed my grandfather clock for approximately $250.00. I intend to keep using the second repairman. Use Olde Tymes/David Morrow if you want, but I wouldn't dream of returning to him for further work on my grandfather clock. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
