Not Kathe's Jewelry. I walk in there, expecting to just drop the chain off and pay some money for the repair job, but the guy working behind the counter (who I think also co-owns the place???) took my chain to the back for literally 30 seconds and then came back with it good as new and told me it was free of charge. He even gave me an old-fashioned handshake at the end like we were longtime friends. Made me feel like a special man walking out of that place. At any rate, if you live in the East Village or anywhere near it, don't go to any other store for your jewelry repair. The guys that own and operate Kathe's are so friendly and down-to-earth, and it looked to me like they were selling some nice pieces, too. 10/10.

I've been looking for a place to cut my permanent 14k gold anklet and add a clasp. I asked a few…read moreplaces and they all quoted me almost as much as I paid for the anklet itself (absurd prices). I contacted this business on Yelp and Jerry was super responsive. I decided to go down to Main Street (I avoid this area like the plague bc it's so busy) but it was well worth the trip. His booth is inside a building with multiple businesses and his is on the left side about halfway in. It was a Saturday so it was busy. He was so friendly, personable and honest. He cut the anklet, added the clasp and it came out very good. He finished within 25 min or so while I waited. I loved giving my business to this small business and nice guy. Thank you!

I decided to utilize a watch repair service close by called Bella Jewelry and met with someone who introduced himself as Gabriel the owner. He advised that he could do the job and watch would be ready the following week. He never called on the agreed date of completion and when I did he advised that the watch wasn't ready. 1 week turned into 3 and the excuses/lies became more elaborate. I kept on calling. He finally told me that the watch was ready. When I got there the watch was damaged. The dial was broken and there were scratches that was never there before. He insisted on payment and refused to give me the watch. He also advised that he couldn't polish the watch because the rhodium he would need to use cost $10,000! Gabriel is extremely dishonest and rude and racist. He had polished someone else's watch for free while I waited. I'm black. The other patron was white! Doesn't seem to see very well either due to aging. He also refused to give me a receipt and tried to charge me more than the originally agreed upon price. Brought my watch to another jeweler who confirmed what I already knew. He damaged my watch and lied to me about the work he had done. Gabriel also made it clear that he had sued Yelp for publishing bad reviews...and won! I don't know if there's any truth to his statement but my main reason for using Yelp is because you cannot pay to alter honest reviews. At least...so I thought. An honest review is just that...and should never be altered or interfered with to please someone else. Nobody's experience is the same. I wouldn't advise anyone to waste their time or money on this business. It's truly not worth the aggravation. It's sad that someone that age could be so deceitful,dishonest and downright nasty. I've alerted everyone I know personally and professionally about this man and his business. Now it's time to alert the rest of the world.
