| - I had several pieces of jewelry that needed repair, and Yelp steered me this way.
I had a new set of earrings, and one had a post that didn't fasten securely. They fixed that on the spot at no charge. I was glad I opted against manhandling it with a pair of pliers. The second piece was a bracelet that had a clasp that kept coming open. That had to be left, but it was adjusted in-house. The third piece was an earring with a broken post. It turned out that had to be sent out for soldering because heat could damage the stones.
When they called to advise the earring would have to be sent out and the cost, I considered not having the work done. When I dropped the pieces off, the lady who helped me looked at all the pieces and stated this earring was silver. I had assumed it was white gold, but it was a gift. I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the extra money to repair it. When I told her my concerns about fixing the piece, she said she had misspoken, and the earring was actually gold, not silver. That further slightly affected her estimate, but I decided it was worth it.
They did a beautiful job, and I could not tell which earring had the new post. The only reason I dropped a star was the misidentification of the metal. I'm not sure how they can visually tell the difference between the two, unless she was just looking for the 14K mark and missed it. The jeweler, however, had identified it correctly. I would not hesitate to have future repairs done. And my husband is more than welcome to select any of their jewelry for purchase.
Oh, and they're right next door to See's Candies. I should have given them 5 stars for that alone!
