5 /5 Joanne Ottaviano: This is a true “Mom and Pop” jewelry store. Now that phrase can be tricky if you had lousy parents, and might not sound appealing. But trust me, these two are the kind of parents you’d actually want running your life.
They do everything in-house from repairs, sales, and being warm and friendly. Before they took over, the original “Pop” was at the bench, so you’re basically getting decades of jewelry wisdom handed down like a family recipe.
They’re personable, honest, and so trustworthy that if they suddenly decided to open a mechanic shop, I’d hand them the keys to my vintage car without a second thought.
They’ve got it all from new jewelry, antique gems, watches, you name it. And they’ll do it all from fixing it, polishing it, or making it sparkle like new. They’ll also buy your Grandma’s gaudy gold bracelet if you’re tired of keeping it in a shoe box under your bed along with the spider webs. Cash it in and have some play money.
I used to be loyal to a jewelry store in Closter, NJ, but I took a daring cross-border adventure (don’t worry, no politics here), to Nanuet, NY, and discovered this little “gem”(no pun intended). Best decision ever.
