Five star reviews don't come easy, they are earned! This wonderful business in Bellmore Village has been here a long time and there is a reason for it. Exceptional Customer Service. Experienced sales people and expert jewelers and diamond setters that are highly skilled professionals. The store is busy all the time, and still it seems as if you are the only person your salesperson is working with. Jumping back and forth does not happen here. I say this because we had jewelry piece made from our Garnets and diamonds and with a chain and a great deal of input from Pearl, our salesperson we got an amazing piece of Jewelry. If you are in need of a piece of jewelry, a watch repair, they fixed one for us too, or looking to buy a great gift, thus is the place to go. I did not give them a 5 star review, they EARNED it. Patronize this business, You will not be sorry.

Fair, honest and pleasant people at Gennaro Jewelers! They took care of an issue I had with my engagement ring. I'll definitely be back to buy my wedding band!

I was amazed at the service we got from both Sean and Lisa. Sean really has a passion for sharing information on gems. They are honest and I would highly recommend them to anyone that had a jewelry question or purchase. Very professional and nice people that do beautiful work. They care, Thank

My wife lost the diamond on her wedding ring. We bought another diamond and took it to Gennaro to set it on the ring. Laura was very professional, attentionate, knowledgeable, and helpful. She explained all the steps and answered all our questions. The diamond never left our sight. I enjoyed watching the jewelers in action, carefully maneuvering these tiny drill bits and instruments. It was quite a treat for me, a tool lover. The ring became like new, with a new luster. It's such a friendly team! They made us feel welcome and made every customer feel special. We were very satisfied with the quality of the work. Job well done Gennaro! Thank you.

They are trying to do their best to make their customers happy. I understand why there are full of customers all the time at the shop and they have all these great reviews on online as well. Highly recommended

I had a great experience at Gennaro today as always! When I walked through the door, I was greeted by the smiley employee Sean, which always starts off the experience right! The other employees continue to greet me even if they are busy with their own clients- which is a really nice touch to this small town business. I am also always truly impressed that my diamond ring never leaves my site while it gets cleaned. Due to some deep scratches on the band, the owner of the store even got his hands dirty in polishing up my ring. I am three days from my wedding and am so relieved that my ring is shiny and new after taking it to Gennaro! Will always go back for further cleanings and other jewelry purchases :) I highly recommend them to others

Words cannot describe how amazing this place is. They are so extremely kind and professional. I went in with my mother to get her two rings checked out and to get a price. They clean the jewelry for you, and the coolest part is they use a specific color paper clip so you know it’s yours. EVERYTHING that is done in this store is done in front of you. The jewelry NEVER leaves your sight and they honor that. Then they put your item under a camera and put it onto a TV screen. Someone will help and show you any issues with your item and show you how to know it’s yours just In case any place tries to pull any funny business. The person who helped us was Beverly. She was extremely informative, and had a wonderful personality. We asked a bunch of questions and she did not hesitate to answer them all. She did not get annoyed or upset and she made sure we understood everything about our items. THEN Beverly brought Gary out. Gary is the most knowledgeable man you can speak to. He is no joke. He will tell you stuff as it is, no sugar coating anything and he will make sure that you understand everything. We probably talked with him for 30 min and it was so nice of him to take the time out of his day to talk to us on how to protect our rings, how he believes we can sell them safely, what price is right, what we should look out for, and he also gave us history of Gennaro jewelry! This guy is literally amazing. If you need any help definitely talk to Gary or Beverly. We left the store so extremely satisfied and i totally recommend that you check them out whether you’re buying, pricing, or even just looking. This place is amazing and the staff is absolutely fantastic. 11/10

Five years ago, when I wanted to purpose to my wife, I went in search of rings, two simple hammered white gold wedding bands. I was unpleasantly surprised to be confronted by prejudice. After realizing that I was part of a same-sex couple, two jewelers said they couldn't help me. In the end, I had to order the bands online. Yesterday, my wife decided to buy me a beautiful diamond wedding band for our fifth wedding anniversary. We went to Gennaro Jewelers. Because of my experience in other places, I was nervous about going in and trying on rings with my wife. Laura assisted us and told me that it was perfectly okay to take my time. I tried on so many rings and chose the perfect wedding band with five oval cut diamonds. As we waited for Laura to prepare my ring, the rest of the staff praised our choice and were so kind to us. The atmosphere helped us relax and enjoy the moment. The experience was happy and exciting. Thank you so much, Laura and the rest of the staff at Gennaro Jewelers for helping us choose a ring that will be part of our family and our love story forever.

Wonderful service and very friendly staff. They did a fantastic job replacing a lost stone on my engagement ring, at a very reasonable price. Would go back there anytime!

Laura was amazing and incredibly helpful. My fiancé was 95% NOT into going to the Jeweler on a Saturday morning but Laura was able to grasp his interests and help him look for a wedding band while I was with my diamond THE ENTIRE TIME. Did I mention that I was able to stay with my diamond throughout the entire re-setting process? It was great. I would recommend Gennaro’s for all of your jewelry needs. (Especially when it comes to diamonds/gems- they tell you where they’re going with it next and show you were to stand/ go to all while holding your piece in the air so you’re truly able to keep your eyes on it.) Thanks again Laura!!!

I just came back from my first time at Gennaro Jewelers. I am recently engaged and was given my grandmother’s heirloom ring. I loved it and didn’t want to change it too much, but I knew that it needed a re-sizing, a deep cleaning, and probably some minor adjustments. I’ll be honest, I was nervous walking into a reputable jeweler with a less expensive and therefore less “important” ring. I figured that I would deal with slight condescension and that they would be more interested in selling their own rings (which btw are GORGEOUS all around) than dealing with my little antique. I was so wrong. They treated me and my grandmother’s ring like we were the most important customer! I loved watching them work on the ring. Being able to see the process was so interesting and cool! Gary kept me educated about each step as we went along. When I saw the finished product (because they re-sized it, re-plated it, cut back some heavy-handed prongs to reveal the stone better, cleaned it, and appraised it ALL IN A LITTLE OVER ONE HOUR WHILE I WATCHED) I actually said “holy s***!” I couldn’t believe it. No big changes were made, but it looks like a completely different ring now! I was given a generous discount for being a first-time customer, and I left there pretty much flabbergasted at what had just happened. I recommend Gennaro as highly as is possible.

I had never been here before but I brought my boss's engagement and wedding bands in to replace a stone and for a cleaning and everyone was so helpful and nice. Angela explained every step of the process and you never lose sight of your rings. By the end of it they looked brand new and the staff were extremely kind. I couldn't be happier

My family and I have been customers of Gennaro Jewelers since the 1960's. They are a Bellmore institution since the 1920's which is a testament to their excellence, especially in today's retail environment. The staff is always helpful, friendly and most of all knowledgeable. When I visited this week it was comforting to see Pearl - a familiar face. I had an exceptional experience when Mark was able to revitalize my baby ring which I have handed down to my just born great niece. It meant so much to me. Thank you Mark!!!

My visit on Thursday was such a delight! I needed to have my engagement ring fixed-one of the 5 prongs was broke. When I arrived a gentleman named Mark helped me. Besides being professional, he was genuinely concerned with my issue. He took his time to explain my options and his recommendation. My biggest reason for coming here was the fact that my diamond is always in my sight. And it was. The entire process was fascinating!! Mark constantly kept a check on me and the status of my ring, explaining what exactly was happening. The head of my ring was changed to a 6-prong securing my diamond. The man who adjusted the prongs took such precise care..AMAZING! As was everyone that took part in the process that Mark walked me through. Mark completed my visit ensuring me my absolute satisfaction and I truly walked out in awe of my “new”beautiful ring...Janet S.

Outstanding service! I brought my Uncle's ring in to be resized, cleaned and repaired. Mark made sure that I did what was best for the preservation of the ring. He made sure that I knew where the ring was during each step of the process. I and the ring were treated with the utmost respect and care. Everyone on the team are exceptional! I highly recommend this team of professionals! Thanks Mark and Gennaro Jewelers!

Amazing friendly atmosphere. Went to reset my wedding rings and was given a lot of suggestions that were helpful. Everything was done in my presence, never leaving the diamond unattended. Angela the associate working with me and my husband was knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend and will be utilizing their service in the future.

Very friendly staff and very helpful. For the particular ring we were looking for, we were shown several types with a varying price range. No pressure to buy the most expensive one. Our sales clerk was Cindy and she seemed genuinely interested in our satisfaction and not in making a big sale. We got a nice ring at a great price.

I just wish I had a before pic, but my brother's house burned down this past Saturday. His and his wife's wedding rings were found (unbelievably), but burnt to a crisp. I took them to Gennaros to see if there was anything to be done. Unfortunately for my brother, his ring didn't do so well (titanium). But, they were able to clean it and he likes the blueish shade of purple it is now, so he is still going to wear it. (It does look kind of cool.) They spent 2 hours on my sister in law's rings. They replaced a diamond, tightened all the prongs, dipped it (once the char came off, it looked pink) and shined it up. They look as good as new. Only under a microscope could you tell there was any damage. When I went to pay for it - they wouldn't take any money. I literally started crying and hugged anyone in front of me. They don't know me. I go in there every couple of years for a gift. These are just GOOD people!! I started going there when they were on Oprah years ago, they are one of, if not THE, most honest jeweler in NY. So, if anybody is in the market for any type of jewelry, please consider Gennaro Jewelers, in Bellmore, with special consideration to Sean for being so kind and patient with me
