You should definitely make a visit to Truval! True Value!"Īll the previous reviews I read about Truval were spot on. Overall, the service we received, the transparency in pricing and the education they offered were all extraordinary and rare if not impossible to find.
Shlomi's vast knowledge and passion for the business is apparent. There's no doubt that their prices are very fair: Afterward, we went to 2 other diamond buyer offices for comparison, and the other buyers offered 20-30% less then Truval had offered. After carefully examining and analyzing the stones, one at a time, he gave us an estimate range of what the pieces may be worth. He explained about the difference of our diamonds as is, versus when they are perfected to be most sellable and valuable to others. He taught us about all of the ""C's"" that are so vital in the Diamond world and helped us gain some great insight. We met with Shlomi, who was very patient and most informative. So, my non-disabled neighbors, if the ADA is *your* will, start spreading the word and demanding that elected officials and the press learn about the law."My Brother and I were looking to sell some family diamond jewelry. Most of the lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who passed the law were not disabled, neither were the majority of the public they represented. As I am routinely kept out of restaurants and denied service by other entities, including city and state agencies, either by outright rejection or “inadvertent” access barriers, the law has been worthless to me. But someone wearing a mask because they are immuno compromised or other health/medical issue is theoreticly as entitled to enter any business anyone else is. In this case the business seems to have just used poor judgement in the wording of a sign. So *someone* official has learned the law, but when a judge can make such a statement and a newspaper report it without fact-checking, then disabled people don’t have any rights in practice and the “law” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Now they respond and tell the proprietors they have to let me in. When I used to get turned away from businesses for having a guide dog, the police would erroniously say that it was private and I should contact the Better Business Bureau. If they are open to anyone, as opposed to a membership-only invitation-only club, they are “public” for purposes of that law. This business is required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Whether or not this sign will discourage robberies remains to be seen, as another commenter asked if “robbers easily deterred by signs asking them to remove their masks?” When we asked if a person would be allowed to enter with a medical mask on, he kindly told us yes if they needed it to feel comfortable it would be allowed. ILTUWS called Diamond Rush and spoke to a representative who told us they are asking people to remove their masks because they’ve been robbed quite a few times - and the masks allow people to maintain a level of anonymity, making it harder to identify them through surveillance cameras.
Yet others questioned the legality of it, stating that “It discriminates against people who have health issues that require masks.” Retired Judge Dierdra Tompkins weighed in, sharing that “A private business probably can do whatever it wishes.” Another resident even speculated that it’s “probably for attention… I never realized there was a jewelry shop there and I go by it at least 6-7 times a day.” Many people posited that it was for security purposes as “it’s a jewelry store and there’s already plexiglass up, so the mask isn’t needed.” 10025 had the highest number of Omicron cases this week…” Some took the opportunity to attack the government and the way COVID is being handled, saying things like “You people are out of control… Go get your 50th booster and you’ll be fine,” while others took the opposing view, with comments like “They should be boycotted. On the popular neighborhood app Nextdoor, a local resident posted a photo of the sign, and opinions began pouring in. But a sign printed on the store’s entrance door has been drawing attention for another reason. It’s a hidden gem (pun intended) nestled between a convenience store and an empty storefront. The shop’s Facebook page displays beautiful custom pieces, exquisite diamond engagement rings, Rolex watches and other gorgeous jewelry. Diamond Rush Jewelry opened its doors at 200 West 96th Street in 2019.
