Ilana Fine Jewelry Review

I've walked by this tiny shop hundreds of times, but never noticed it. I finally got tired of adding pieces of jewelry to my "get fixed" pile and took the initiative. He fixed 3/5 on the spot and asked for $2. Two more difficult pieces--one from Tiffany's and one of my grandmother's gold/diamond necklaces--he took and is calling me with an estimate tomorrow. This guy really wants to help, is incredibly courteous and more than fair.

This place actually has more than watches but this review is just for the watch fixing they did for me - it wasn't cheap but they do the work on hand and I had given my watch a pretty good smashing so...it was probably my fault for that. But the watch seriously works better now than it did prior to being smashed (fell off and landed smack on the subway platform). The guy there is nice but I'll say "new york city nice" - don't expect them to act like a broker salivating over a 6 figure commission. I see this as a positive in some respects - feels more 'real' and they clearly know their stuff. Plus supporting local businesses is a great thing in the village.
