I've visited the shop for antique jewelry repairs and have been so impressed with their amazing work and customer service! I would recommend Lori McLean to all, especially those located in the East Village!

This review is a little bit late, however I just wanted to drop a quick note on how amazing working with Lori was.I came to her with a very specific, and quite complex, design idea for my fiancée's engagement ring and with a very tight budget and quick turnaround request. She made it an incredibly smooth and stress-free experience.My fiancée absolutely loves the ring and both strangers and all family members continue to laud and praise what a beauitful ring it is. If you're thinking of doing a custom ring, or if you want to find something unique and fresh, you should give Lori the first look.

Excellent selection of beautiful pieces! A great local spot, and Lori is so helpful. I found a lovely matching set of earrings and a bracelet for a gift that our friend absolutely loved.

Lovely shop. I purchased a beautiful beaded necklace for my mother in law for Christmas, and some earrings for myself. The shop keeper was very nice and created a great experience. Thank you for letting me bring a bit of New York back home with me.

I would have given you guys 5 stars but I had to take away a star as my experience was slightly tarnished when checking out. I spent over $900 and my jewelery was handed to me in a PAPER BAG!!!The kind that as a kid you'd get penny candy in.I love my pieces but ......A PAPER BAG!!???

My husband and I did not shop around for our wedding bands. We went straight to Lori McLean! Our hand made gold rings are burnishing perfectly with use, and have a shape and patina that have adjusted ever so slightly over time. We love them and they feel very unique to us. Before that we had stopped in for the odd repair and sizing of a few family pieces and always loved the shop. I think though that the biggest shout out to Lori is that she kept her small business going throughout the pandemic, and even moved shop to the bigger roomier store she occupies now. That's Lori people. And that's New York!

Not sure how anyone could give this store a one star review as I've only had fantastic experiences there. Not only did my husband and I buy our wedding bands there (which were expertly sized and we received them much earlier than expected), but they've also done super quick repairs on rings I bought at other stores at incredibly reasonable prices. For these and many other reasons, I constantly recommend the store to close family and friends (and I'm not one to do that lightly). Please don't let those one star reviews keep you from visiting -- they're obviously disgruntled customers who don't understand how jewelry repair shops work.

Was finally able to check out the new location, and it's just as lovely as ever. I was worried we might lose a bit of the old charm in the new shop, but Lori's aesthetic is so authentic and translates beautifully in the new space. Got some very precious blue stud crawlers and spoke to one of the associates about fixing an old bracelet I bought there years ago. Wish I was in town to browse more often.

My favorite jewelry store! I've been shopping here for years and years. Over that time, I've bought countless pieces for others (and myself), and they've done fabulous repair work on a number of pieces--ranging from inexpensive things to priceless family heirlooms. I admit to still being a bit helpless sometimes when it comes to picking things out, but the staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. (And I love the wide selection!) The other day I had some time to kill and popped in to get someone a "Just because" present: the salesperson helped me pick out something great within my budget. A real neighborhood gem!

Lori created custom drop pearl earrings for me for my wedding based on a grainy black and white photo I had of some that I liked. She was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We hit a couple road blocks and she navigated all of them with professionalism and efficiency, including making another set when the first set turned out to be smaller than I wanted. Ultimately, I ended up with the most beautiful earrings at a fabulous price and couldn't be happier. Her whole staff is wonderful and her shop is full of one-of-a-kind pieces. Couldn't recommend Lori and her beautiful work enough!
