J. Gorman Fine Jewelry in
Cooperstown (NY)

My husband and I went to Jess for custom engagement and wedding rings and she did an outstanding job. She was very patient and helpful throughout the design process, to get to the design we were looking for. She and her team went above and beyond on helping coordinate the delivery so my husband could surprise me with the engagement ring and I could suprise him with the wedding rings. In addition, they were lovely people to work with. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for special jewelry purchases

This is the best little jewelry shop I’ve ever been too. Jessica was so kind and helpful. She even gave my 4 year old a T.R.E.A.T. As I browsed.I ended up coming back with my husband and he bought me a 1930s ring with a blue flash moonstone. I am in love with my ring. Thank you so much….Twin ?

Had such a wonderful experience at this shop. Jess was so easy to work with, and made magic happen on a tight timeline.

I recently came to J Gormans for some earrings and was delightfully impressed with the store, especially the owner Jessica. Extremely knowledgeable and such a nice, lovely person. If you’re in the market for a nice piece of jewelry don’t hesitate to stop in and talk to Jessica before going anywhere else.

Wonderful experience working with Jess of J. Gorman Fine Jewelry. Through an internet search, I found a listing for a pair of Tiffany earrings that I had been searching for for years. I contacted Jess for more information and she promptly provided additional detail on the listing. The earrings were final sale, but Jess was so helpful, informative, and reassuring that I went ahead and placed the order. Jess communicated with me throughout the transaction, informing me when the earrings shipped, providing tracking, and calling to confirm their arrival and to make sure I was happy with my purchase. The earrings arrived promptly, beautifully and securely packaged, and were just as described. It was a great experience. I rarely write reviews, but the communication and overall experience was so positive that I want others to know they can feel confident when dealing with this business.

I cant say enough good things about Jess and her store .. This past holiday season last minute went in to find a Necklace that our daughter wanted .. Of course Jess had it .. We weren't sure the size would work but Jess assured me if it did not fit she would get me the correct size .. The catch was my daughter was home from Spain and would be going back 3 days after Christmas .. so getting a different size could be challenging in that amount of time .. well of course it did not fit .. I texted Jess on Christmas day that it did not fit and I hope we can get the correct size ASAP.. well she answered me right away (on a holiday no less). The vendor she used was closed the following day .. so that narrowed are time down to two days .. The next day she alerted me that they did indeed have the necklace and that I would have it in time to send my daughter off to Spain with Necklace in tow.. To top it all off she met us the next day when she was really closed to do the exchange .. This was a EXTRODINARY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE that will resonate with me for a while.. If you are in the Cooperstown NY area and you are in the market for jewelry, please check out her Beautiful little store .. You will not be disappointed ..

I’m so grateful for Jess. She turned an old heirloom pin into a beautiful necklace. I’m so excited to pass it on as a Christmas gift for the next generation to enjoy.

Jess is incredible!!! She is extremely passionate about what she does and is willing to show you anything- even if its “just to try” ? I have bought several vintage estate pieces to add to my collection and every single experience and piece has been absolutely incredible! I would highly recommend Jess as your local jeweler of choice for new sparkles and historic vintage pieces!

My original wedding band and engagement ring kept breaking and I was losing diamonds constantly. I had it repaired over and over again by a chain jewelry store where it was purchased to no avail and then I met Jess. I handed over my rings to her and she assured me I would love what she created. I trusted her. I picked them up this past Friday and I have not stopped staring at them. I loved the style of my rings and she recreated them perfectly using my original diamond and I will never have to worry about them breaking. Her work is phenomenal and she was worth the 4.5 hr drive from Massachusetts to her! Thank you Jess for making me fall in love with my rings all over again. The photo doesn’t do it justice but you can see the comparison between the two sets.

Jess and her team exceeded all expectations in creating the most gorgeous ring that I cannot keep my eyes off of! Her talent is truly unmatched. Her ability to take ideas and visions of what you think you would love and transform it to a piece that not only covers all of those things and then some is unreal. Her ability to add her own personal touches and make it unique specifically for you is something I am still in awe of. With my husband and I being out of state, she made the whole process seamless. She was very professional and made my husband feel very comfortable and confident with an out of state purchase. How genuinely happy she is when her customer is happy proves how much heart she puts into every little detail. J. Gorman Fine Jewelry thank you for building me my dream ring. I couldn’t be happier!

I knew as soon as I first saw J Gorman Fine Jewelry that I’d love to have a chance to purchase or create a special piece of jewelry here. The owner and gemologist, Jess, has such a timeless and beautiful aesthetic. My husband and I decided to excitedly move through the custom process for a ring that could become an heirloom in our family. Jess was immediately helpful, thoughtful and considerate of what this piece would mean to us. She was so communicative and supportive. Upon first seeing the completed the ring, it is truly stunning—everything we imagined and hoped for but more. Just incredible and I’m looking forward to wearing it for a lifetime. Jess has artistic vision, creativity, professionalism and genuine care with her pieces. We feel really lucky to have entrusted her in this way. I could go on and on… Simply, I feel there is no one else to choose when entrusting such an important and once in a lifetime process other than Jess and all of the beauty curated and created within J Gorman Fine Jewelry. For any occasion (engagements, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, antiques), I would choose her expertise in gems and design over and over again. Highly recommend!

I had the best experience working with Jess to design my Fiancé’s engagement ring! She truly cares about making your experience special and gives big quality with a small town smile. The ring came out better than we ever could have hoped for, and Jess kept me updated every step of the way. I can’t recommend her enough, especially for dealing with vintage jewelry!

Spend any time in this shop and you will see the genuine interest Jess has in her customers and what a joy it is to collaborate with her. Jess’s patience and willingness to listen combined with her creativity and attention to detail means you will not be disappointed. Whether you are visiting for repairs, design, or selecting a unique or vintage treasure, this is the place for quality workmanship and service. Jess is passionate about her work, so every visit is an education, and you can count on her to be honest, fair, timely, and fun!

Jess beautifully designed our engagement ring, working tirelessly to search for the right diamonds and making sure it was exactly what we wanted. We are grateful for her attention to detail and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process. We highly recommend her for custom jewelry with a personal touch.

best jewelry store in cooperstown! hands down , two of the nicest people i have ever met. They have one of the greatest pieces or rings , necklaces , pendants and more. great for fine pieces as well like engagement rings or 14k gold.

On the two year anniversary of the engagement to my wife I realized that I have not written a review of how talented and amazing Jess is, so here it is. The picture within the picture is the “idea” I sent Jess, and that beauty next to it is her creation. The center piece to that ring is my Wife’s late Grandmother’s wedding ring that she refurbished and resized. She then designed the surrounding engagement ring from a mold (second picture) and added hand cut turquoise (which was a feat in itself) to be surrounded by that gorgeous bling (26 brilliant cut diamonds to be exact) and created this one of a kind stacker engagement ring. It is truly 100% one of a kind and that is the work I guarantee you will get with J. Gorman Fine Jewelry. She puts her heart and soul into her work and does not take shortcuts when it comes to getting her art finished. I will forever call her my jeweler and friend. If there were more stars I would add them to my ratting of Jess. Unrelated is the last photo of my Wife and I at our wedding because well, we looked good. ??‍♂️

This is the BEST jewelry store I have ever been to. The owner, Jess is super knowledgeable and is the type of person whose business you WANT to continually frequent because it is all around a great experience. I always get such a wonderful education about the product I am buying. She will also check your jewelry to make sure your stones are properly held in place, will size jewelry, replaces stones of needed, repairs jewelry and watches, and cleans jewelry. It is a one stop shop for all your jewelry needs. Jess is a certified Gemologist, makes jewelry, and also has bedroom antique estate pieces. It my favorite store in Cooperstown! I am about to move cross country but will certainly keep in touch with Jess because all my jewelry that comes from her is absolutely stunning and perfect!

Not only do they do a phenomenal job at resizing rings, but Jess is the sweetest person! She was great at keeping you updated and making sure you’re getting the best quality. I’m so glad I was able to find this place and get my rings resized !

I've been getting my jewelry from J. Gorman for years now, starting with my engagement ring and wedding band. I can't imagine working with anyone else. She focuses on the details and takes the time to really understand her clients style. I appreciate her flexibility as well, of course you can walk in and pick a beautiful piece from the store but you can also have her create a specific design you have in mind or maybe something you saw somewhere else and have been searching for, which is exactly what she did for me. She also has pieces for every budget, there is no reason to ever be intimidated when working with Jess. She will strictly stick to your budget as well, no pushiness or upselling. But most importantly, her jewelry is just stunning. I receive compliments on my rings daily and my favorite necklace and earrings from her store are part of my everyday attire. I definitely suggest stopping by or even reaching out online, you won't be disappointed.

If you haven't met Jess, you should! She is experienced in repairs of antique jewelry, and I am thrilled with the results!! I never have worked with a jeweler who would spend personal time to find the best solution at the best price. She stayed in contact with me through every step, and went above and beyond to get my jewelry back in time for a family event. I am so grateful to have her level of expertise in our community!

Jessica is an absolute joy to work with. She is knowledgeable, kind, understanding and fun (think ring-pops for kids who visit the store). I have purchased several items from Jess, both custom designed and vintage. She described each piece to me, made suggestions based on my personal style, the size of my hands, the shape of my neck, and more. She truly knows what will work for each and every client and is able to present her expertise in such a way that is not pushy, but instead sincere. Each time I return home, I make sure to stop in. Jess is more than an extremely talented jeweler, she is also an easy friend. Amazing!

Jess is talented, knowledgeable and professional. I had a very complicated request for my engagement ring requiring incorporating my Grandmother's antique ring with a custom turquoise and diamond stacked ring. Jess nailed it. She was able to secretly collaborate with my husband and create exactly what I wanted. She did it all remotely and had everything shipped safely. Even if you can't make it into her store she still has the ability to work with you from afar. She's the best!

It was such a pleasure working with Jess. We were searching for a wedding band and randomly stepped into her shop back in November. We were looking through her amazing collection of estate pieces, when she asked if she could clean our engagement band. She pulled out a few other pieces she thought we would like, but then brought out this amazing yellow five-stone piece she had recently received. We took one look at it and fell in love! Jess went on to resize and refurbish the ring to perfection. As it says on her website, Jess is 100% trust worthy, works fairly with her customers, and ensured we were totally satisfied with our piece! We look forward to working with her in the future to create custom pieces.

Jess helped design both my engagement ring and wedding ring as well as my husband’s wedding ring. She provides amazing, hands-on service and is great through every step of the process. The process can be scary if you’ve never bought expensive jewelry, but Jess helps ease any concerns and explains everything thoroughly. I would never go anywhere else for fine jewelry!

J. Gorman Fine Jewelry designed and executed my custom engagement ring perfectly! Jessica made my dream engagement ring reality. The entire process was smooth and thoughtful, it was wonderful working with her. She completely exceeded our expectations in service and quality, while over long distance communication. My husband and I would highly recommend purchasing your jewlery through here!

My wedding ring is perfect! I never expected in my wildest dreams I would be able to have the *exact* design I wanted for my engagement ring and wedding band, but Jess and her amazing team went above and beyond to make them perfect. Jess and my fiancé worked together (and made it a total surprise)!! Since our wedding, I've worked with Jess on a few other projects- some custom rings using some family stones (and she is now working with my brother to design HIS fiancé's ring). Definitely a customer for life!

I can't imagine a better experience than working with J. Gorman Fine Jewelry. I worked with Jess to design a custom engagement ring that turned out incredible. My fiancée always gets compliments on how original and beautiful her ring is. Jess provides such a friendly environment and stress-free buying process.
