Drue Sanders Custom Jewelers. She made my gorgeous engagement ring and I couldn't be happier with it. Drue gave my fiance excellent customer service, quick turn around time, and a great value for his money.

I second Drue Sanders. Had my wedding ring made there and she incorporated stones from two different pairs of earrings and my great-grandmother's traditional engagement ring. I had an idea of what I wanted and she created a version of it on the computer so we could tweak it. The end result was fantastic. Plus all super nice people there and sometimes dogs are in the shop. (That's a plus for me)

DeJonghe Jewelery in Saratoga Springs does good work -- he's a really nice guy, and he does quality work, including custom stuff, at a good value.

Drue Sanders. Surpringly affordable. She designed a custom band to nest with my antique engagement ring. And rebuilt the prongs of the antique to keep the stone secure. All the work is done on site - no outsourcing.

I recommend john fritze in Delmar. He is a superior craftsman. He repaired my broken antique filigree gold ring to look like new. Try him.

Joyelle's in Delmar gets all my business. Fast, friendly, affordable, convenient.

Another vote for Drue...she took a family heirloom engagement ring that had been badly damaged by other jewelers and recreated it by hand, based on her knowledge of jewelry styles at the time it was originally made. Price was very fair and she allowed us to pay it over the course of the job.

We specialize in custom work and repairs. I am more than happy to take care of sizing the bracelet and designing a pair of earrings with the remaining gems.
The store phone is 464-9636 we are open Mon-Sat. Give. Call for a design appointment.
Looking forward to working with you,
Drue

I nominate The Renaisance Studio. I am a native of the Berkshires, now in Florida but Captain Glen Von Wergers jewelry Shop is a destination for me-every visit! His jewelry isn't the run of the Mill- it is PURE ART.
Lately the Captain isn't feeling well and a recognition like this would be timely and DESERVED. He is a true artisan with pieces that appeal to every taste. This guy has designs and prices that are second to none!
He is a generous man who gives much of his jewelry as gifts to those he cares for-- and he cares for many!!
