Professional, quick, and well priced. Will be my go-​to for my cleaning and plating needs.

I recently came to Vijay’s House of Polishing to have my white gold engagement ring rhodium plated, since the yellow color of the gold was beginning to show through and it had some light scratches from constant wear.
This was my first time having my ring rhodium plated and I decided to go with Vijay after reading his positive Unilocal reviews. I am very satisfied with his work and the ring looks exactly like it did when it was brand new. The price that he charged was quite reasonable and it was ready less than 2 hours after I dropped it off.
He also replaced the battery on a nice watch and did some preventative maintenance on it for me. Prices were exactly as he had quoted them and I am very pleased with the experience of working with him. Would have no hesitation recommending him.

Great customer service! I found Vijay’s House of Polishing online while traveling to NYC. Vijay polished and re-​plated rhodium on my wedding band and it looks brand new again!
Would definitely go back when the time comes again.

Vijay has always been really good to us, we do a lot of specialty jewelry with stones and he is always really knowledgeable about his work and delivers a beautiful product. One of the only jewelers to use a special plating technique that is very hard to find in the district, that looks much better than other plating techniques and lasts longer.
If you want a good product and customer service go see Vijay!

My husband brought in bathroom faucet, handles, parts that needed to be gilded that have faded due to age. Everything was done quickly and perfectly. Beautiful job. Highly, highly recommend this place. Nice guy too! He’s a total professional. By the way, I found him on the internet.

I wish I could rate more than 5 stars! I needed a ring made from scratch in a week. Vijay went above and beyond and delivered an absolutely perfect ring. It would’ve taken anyone else weeks to get what vijay got done in a matter of days. I highly recommend Vijay’s House of Polishing!

I ordered a stainless steel skull necklace online, which had a great price, but it was too long and the arrangement was backward for my taste. I wasn’t interested in something generic to wear, I wanted something special.
I came across Vijay’s Jewelry polishing service by looking up what I was looking for online. I contacted Vijay by email, who was very helpful and specific in his response. I went over to his shop and gave him my skull necklace for repair, this type of work usually takes a long time but VJ was able to get it done by the next day with reasonable pricing.
Hold on I’m not finished! Sometime after I left my piece with VJ, I decided and concluded I needed the entire piece Rhodium plated. Now this is very complicated for this type of chain, considering the piece had black areas to give the skulls their distinctive looks. VJ would have to fully plate the piece, and then perform antiquing to restore the black, as well as polish the piece as needed — no problem for him. I left VJ the chain an extra day given the short notice. What else can I say, other than genius work.
Would definitely do business again if I need to.

Vijay’s took a pair of my matsuda eyewear (finished in rose gold) and plated them in white gold, transforming them into something ageless and classical. They look flawless. Thanks to Vijay’s, I expect to wear them for a lifetime without their going out of style.

Great customer service! I went to get some silver jewelry polished. They did a very good job and gave me great tips about storing and cleaning the jewelry myself!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Vijay he’s an extremely pleasant person to deal with and the service I asked for was done excellently. As a student in the field we cherish those individuals on 47th st who are kind to us, many people aren’t nice to jewelry students and so it is refreshing to see someone like vijay answer the questions I have and just overall rock it out.
I got a color coating service to turn an earring assignment of mine a light baby pink. It’s done over sterling and he told me depending on the color of the metal the outcome may be different so if you come for the same service (perma crystal coating) and you’d like an exact color match use white metal. He also did a very nice polish for me and as I said I’m happy with the outcome.

Vijay’s is great! The service is fast and professional. I needed an engagement ring plated and polished and he got it done in a half hour and for much less than bigger brands such as Zales or Kay’s. I would definitely recommend this business and will go there again for my jewelry needs.

Vijay is great– he and his employees really know what they’re doing. I’ve taken many pieces to there and all of them come back looking great every time– Vijay makes sure of it. He’s very helpful. I go to Vijay’s predominantly for plating. He is very flexible and can tailor the plating to your needs. He does micron plating, and he also can do a two-​step process with flash plating where he applies a protective layer of rhodium first. This is a nice budget option if you don’t want to do the micron plating. Plus, I recently had him lacquer a top «clear coat» layer to further protect the plating. I plan on using this in the future to protect my silver pieces from oxidizing too quickly.
I highly recommend this place. I’ve tried many platers, and he is definitely the best.
