Fassbinder

i stumbled upon this store while just walking around with a friend on a sunday afternoon. the jewelry is a mix of edge and elegance. i purchased a silver heart with thorns on a silver chain and i just love it! i actually met Hal Ludacer, the designer of my piece while i was there and the salesperson was great! She was very helpful and honest and not pushy at all! it's not ordinary jewelry for sure! it is very different. if you want jewelry that everyone else has go to Tiffany if you want something unique go to Fassbinder! Pros: nice layout, unique jewelry, great salesperson! Cons: none i can think of more

Bad service and lots of attitude with the sweety talk are two of the best things you will find here, Nothing original or anything you coudn't find on the store next block, and for ridiculous prices!!! Way over priced, What happened with the great German lady that used make repairs there??? Don't like the people and don't like the jewelry. Pros: Location Cons: everything else more

This store has a huge mish mash of different styles of stuff. There is no doubt about it, it's also a total mess. And to make matters worse the sales staff consisted of one woman who barely spoke any english and obviously knew nothing about jewelry. It was pathetic how unhelpful she was. I have to say, I will never go back. Pros: large variety Cons: ignorant unhelpful staff, and lots of junk more

I love this store. It is my favorite jewelry store in Manhattan. I have two beautiful pieces - one a sort of sterling silver faux bois bracelet with an acorn charm and most recently purchased, a stunning gold calla lily shaped ring. The ring, something I'd coveted for many moons, turned out to have some fragility around an inlaid stone. Nervous once, Fassbinder kindly re-fitted and secured the stone for me. Then, as fate might have it - I lost the stone anyway. Not only did Fassbinder take it back, replace and rework the stone, but did it free of charge. And, not once, did they make me feel bad or like I was a problem customer. Service and staff here are fantastic. Pros: unique, beautiful jewelry, great staff Cons: expensive, but worth it more

I was desperately looking for a gift for my husband's to be best men and a friend from the neiborghood reminded me of Fassbinder... Not only I found great cufflinks for the guys but also they were able to make 4 matching pairs of bracelettes and earrings for my brides maids, the service was beyond words, they worked with me very professionally. Did I love it??? You bet I did, and so did the bridal party. Pros: Men and Women jewelry Cons: none I can think of more

Wow, what a find... thanks citysearch! I am visiting from England and have been scouring the city for the past week in search of that perfect piece of jewelry, you know the kind - not one of many as can be found in your finer department stores and national chains, not your run of the mill-seen it or something like it a thousand times over pieces, but a real stunner, something eye-catching, something vibrant and colourful like me. I wrote down the name of this shop after looking through the citysearch pages, yet it was the last shop i went to. Boy am I glad that I held out and passed on some of the other "i like it, but do i love it?" pieces i found in other shops. When we arrived at Fassbinder we were warmly and genuinely greeted and the atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant. The bright cases were alight with stunning colours and beautiful settings. Near the back I spotted the one! It was a beautiful organic shaped citrine stone set in brushed silver with a detail of 18k gold on the inside of the band. The fact that it fit the finger I was intending it for perfectly made it clear that this ring had been waiting for me to find it! Soooo glad I did - thanks a million citysearch! If you are looking for something unique in the world of jewelry and can't seem to find it anywhere I would highly recommend you pay this lovely little store a visit! Vx Pros: Great atmosphere, friendly staff, value for money Cons: Couldn't afford to buy more! more
