I went to Kathe’s to have my great grandfather’s ring downsized. I saw they were highly recommended and I can see why. Jonas took care of me right away and sized my finger. He was very kind and sweet and really respected me as a customer. A few days later the ring was available for pick up. When I came back Jonas fitted me with my ring and gave me the gold that was cut out. I was very impressed because I was expecting a seam but there was nothing in the ring to show where it was sized. I’m really grateful to of found Kathe’s and would come see Jonas again!

I had my ring resized here. I was looking for a shop that resizes on-site rather than mailing in, and went to Kathes based on their great reviews. Such a pleasure meeting the owner, Jonas, and would highly recommend Kathes!

I had a big ring stuck on my finger and was very stressed. The owner helped me immediately with a ring cutter and stayed past closing time to do so. He was incredibly supportive and helped me relax and told me they would stay as long as they had to. Big thank you to Jonas! Support this business!

Extremely talented jewelers! Friendly, family owned business and it shows; great service and reasonable prices.They sized my ringer fast and without issues, whereas when I got it sized in larger corporate chains, it was always a problem. They told me that my ring was difficult and would need to be welded! Jonas did it without a single issue.Support these guys, they’re a gem.

Absolutely wonderful service. The nicest people. Never had jewelry fixed before and it looks great and the prices were fair. They even have a little garden in the back for you to wait! Definitely go!

Fantastic spot! Went in with my fiancé to get her engagement ring fixed and cleaned. The owner was so sweet, he told us to wait 3 minutes and in 3 minutes he cleaned, shinned and fixed the ring to perfection! Amazing customer service, affordable and professional. Will be coming back to purchase our wedding bands there for sure!

Review №12

I left my grandmothers watch there, I was told they would get back to me with an estimate but not work on it without my price approval .I wasn’t able to call or return to due a sudden medical problem that forced me out of town.When I returned I briefly explained and apologized and the owner got my watch. He presented me with a 100 bill. It was cleaned and I wasn’t given any explanation. He wound it . And smiled even though I was clearly upset. Morally bankrupt

Kathe’s jewelry is the best in the business. Not only is Kathe’s a treasure trove of gorgeous jewelry - they also customize, fix, and fulfill all your jewelry needs at the best prices and fastest turn around.Personally, I have severe jewelry allergies to most earring backs and Kathe’s customizes my earrings to the highest quality - this customization saves me from pain, swelling, and infection!I trust Kathe’s with all my jewelry needs 100% - and that says a lot!Kathe’s is a family run business. They are warm and welcoming to all - walking into Kathe’s feels like coming home!

Review №14

Kathe’s is without a doubt the best place in Manhattan to get all your jewelry needs taken care of and looked at. I came in devastated about a broken necklace and some rings that my great grandmother left me after she passed, and Jonas, the head jeweler, saw me right away and not only fixed my necklace, but helped me repurpose my great grandmother’s rings onto a new necklace. I left smiling and with a new friend who happens to be the kindest jeweler in NYC. Please spend your money here, the absolute best

LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE PEOPLE!! The owner and his beautiful daughter are so lovely and helpful! Went in to sell my gold jewelries and they bought them for much more than I expected! It was right before Christmas so I was an unexpected Christmas gift to me!:) Went back another time and it was yet another nice experience. They also sell some nice unique pieces. Will definitely be back!!

I cant sing enough praise about Kathes. Ive been here twice so far and both times Jonas did an amazing job and got my ring back to me so quickly. I was so worried to drop it off to get it appraised (I heard this takes weeks sometimes) and I got my ring back two days later. Endless thanks and will be back again!!

Review №21

I brought in a custom wedding ring to have sized up. I was nervous about potential damage because its not a traditional ring shape and has individual medallions that make up the band. I dropped the ring off at 5:30 Friday and it was ready by 5 the next day. The ring fits beautifully and looks amazing. On top of that everyone at the shop was so nice and friendly.

An oasis from the bustle of day to day life. Jonas and his daughter have treated me like family since the first day I walked in. I truly cannot say enough good things about Jonas and his business.I have brought in friends and family to shop, I have given his business cards out to strangers when they compliment the jewelry I have purchased there, and I have stopped by just to have a chat or sit out back and have a glass of wine with them.They are the most honest, genuine people and have always taken the best care of me. I would give them more stars if that was possible.

Review №25

Ive come here twice now and both experiences went above and beyond expectations. The first time I came here I had a ring resized and it was done same day. The second time I had a pair of earrings repaired and the results were flawless. Prices are very fair and the service is excellent. I would trust Kathes to do all of my repairs in the future.

Jonas and his team are amazing. I got engaged recently and my fiancé gave me his great grandmothers ring. It was too big for my ring finger so I needed to get it re-sized. I was a bit nervous about taking to a jeweler that I didnt know but someone recommended Kathes and Im so glad they did because they couldnt have done a better job. It now fits perfectly.I highly recommend Kathes. Well be back soon for our wedding rings!Thank you Jonas :)

Review №27

We got our wedding bands here. I am prone to feeling uncomfortable in public, but Jonas is such a friendly and warm person that I felt like I was right at home. I would absolutely recommend this shop to anybody looking for jewelry. Especially if youre not sure about anything, dont know your size, etc. Its probably the best customer service experience Ive ever had anywhere.

Review №30

I am totally, totally impressed by this small non-pretentious jewelry store. I took down a broken gold ring, a Nigerian mixed metal broken bracelet, an antique gold watch of my grandmothers with a very delicate broken glass face catch and a single silver earring with moonstones that my mother had commissioned a jeweler in London to make for me for my birthday many years ago. I lost the mate and have been looking at it sitting in my drawer ever since. These precious sentimental objects had been sitting around some 10 years or more and me thinking I would never be able to find someone clever enough to repair and replicate the earring. I looked up on the internet best repair jewelry store and up popped Kathes Jewelry store. I drove down from upstate NY and dropped off the stuff. When they called after the work had been done they said the total cost would be $220. I thought that was impossible and thought maybe they only repaired the watch and the ring, but no. It was all done. The most impressive thing was that they duplicated the earring so well that I could not tell which one was the original. They even copied the stamp of the original artist. I have to say I was totally blown away by their professionalism. The cost....!!!! Need I say more. Absolutely brilliant! I am spreading the word.

I have been going to Kathe’s jewelry for almost 20 years !! Half of my collection comes from here and all my repairs are done there. Kathe knows my style and always shows me what’s new. Jonas and his family make you feel like it’s a small town jewelry store . Actually, they are like family . They have something for everyone and they are the most honest business in Manhattan! Love ❤️

My experience with Jason was fantastic! He helped me re-create my wedding band. I love my ring so much! Jason was very professional and answered all of my questions. I couldnt be happier with my experience at Kathes Jewelry. I see myself in the future coming back here. I definitely recommend this place - Thank you again Jason :)

An unassuming neighborhood gem. As a professional organizer I handle a lot of clients’ jewelry and if allowed take the silver pieces for polishing to Kathe’s. They also did an amazing job on all my silver platters and serving pieces.

Review №37

This place does a wonderful job of repairing jewelry. Ive brought in a few pieces over the years and am always amazed at the quality of the work. You can never tell the piece was damaged. Even when soldering metals I cant even see the repair. Prices are fair as well. Ive gotten things repairs elsewhere, and yeah, it comes out better than when I brought it in, but this place makes it like new again. Friendly and quick turnaround as well. I highly recommend!

Lovely place. I went there to fix my earrings. It literally only took them 3mins!!! The price was so nice. And I ended up purchasing a beautiful pearl necklace~>< And they helped me to adjust the size very carefully. When I asked them to punch holes for my belt!!! Very welcoming staff! Heart warming service! And beautiful jewelries.

Brought in a handmade sterling silver ring that was cracked all the way through on the back side. They did an AMAZING job with the repair, so much so that you cant even tell it was ever broken. They even matched the grooves and etching perfectly. On top of that they fixed a loose stone in the ring and cleaned the whole thing. When we got it back it was just as beautiful as when we bought it. Price was super reasonable and the owners are super nice. Best jewelry shop ever!!!

I highly recommend this shop to anyone in search of jewelry repair, alterations or to buy something new. Jonas and his family are nice, helpful, informative and honest. I brought in my antique engagement ring to be sized and they helped me with this, an assessment of the ring and the remounting of lose diamonds. They kept us informed of everything they did and worked within our short time requirements.

I cant count how many times these great people have honored my business and have also gave me great deals. They are some of the kindest people Ive met in some time in my neighborhood, and they have the best prices Ive ever gotten.But the most amazing thing is their ring resizing service. I 100% could NOT tell it was even resized! It looked so perfect, it was a white gold ring, there was literally no way to tell it was resized. The absolute best service. I had also brought in 3 watches to be repaired, told the man I want him to take as long as possible, to take his time. He repaired them in a much lesser time than I had hoped, and the price was unbelivable! I will never go anywhere else for jewelry and watches except here again! I wish them amazing current and future business.Show less

Review №47

Recently, my partner and I bought a vintage ring that needed to be resized. I read reviews for Kathes and decided we would give it a shot. We went into the store on a Saturday afternoon, we were greeted politely and helped immediately. Jonas helped me to decide what size I wanted the ring as well as if we should have any other work done on it. He made some recommendations and we went along with what he said. Jonas personally called me three days later saying that my ring was ready. When I went to go pick it up, Jonas recognized me and assisted me on the spot. I can say that the ring fits like a dream and sparkles like never before! Overall, the excellent customer service will make me a lifelong customer for any jewelry needs that I might have. Thank you Kathes!

Me and my fiancée called Jonas at the store to see if he could do a resizing of the engagement ring same day! He told us he could! So we made the trip from Bed Stuy to the store on 1st Ave. Jonas and his son had such positive energy and good vibes when we got to the store!!! Even better he told us it would only take an hour for the resizing of the engagement and wedding ring both!!! He was right because after an hour he called and let us know it was done! Excellently swift and quality service at a fantastic price!!! I recommend this place to any one looking for jewelry or jewelry repairs!!! 5 stars!!!!!

My fiancé & I were looking to get my engagement ring resized, and were hoping to get it done on very short notice as we were leaving back to Canada the following day. We chose Kathe’s Jewelry based on reviews and now I can understand why this family owned business has 5 stars. Jonas is such an honest and experienced jeweler with fair prices - not to mention, such a kind person who is a pleasure to deal with! Jonas resized my ring within a few short hours and even recognized some flaws with the claws on my ring that he recommended we have fixed as soon as we arrive back home.Jonas, thanks for everything! We are so glad we met you!

Review №67

I just called to inquire about a last minute engraving I need for my sisters 30th birthday present. I couldnt even finish my sentence before the woman on the line cut me off saying I dont care how much money you offer me I just wont do it, it isnt worth the stress and then continued to snarkily tell me how so many stores were closed over Memorial Day and theyre too swamped.On top of this being a stressful week coordinating birthday travel plans for my sister, I now have the added pleasure of a local business owner treating me like my business is an inconvenience.If you dont have time thats completely understandable, however I would think twice about the way you handle communicating that to potential clients. I will definitely not be returning here.

Jonas is the best and most polite owner Ive ever met! I came in last week for a ring resizing, I got it within 30min! While I was waiting to get the ring he even shared his food with me, which is delicious lol.

Five stars to Jonas and the Kathes Jewelry family! I had a perfect experience from the start - I called to ask if they could clean my ring and she explained how long it would take (less than a day) and how much it would cost (great price). Everyone was very nice and did a wonderful job with the ring - it looks like new. I will definitely return to this great business :) Thank you so much!Five stars for Jonas and the folks over at Kathes Jewelry. I had a perfect experience from the start - I called to ask if they could clean and polish my engagement ring and they explained how long itd take (same day!) And how much itd cost (very reasonable prices especially for the quality of work). Everyone was super friendly and he did a great job with my ring - looks brand new! Ill definitely be coming back in the future :) Thank you!
