Jewelry Repair
Our customers choose us because they know they can rely on quality craftsmanship, personalized service, and attention to detail. With our experienced in-house team, you can trust us to get the job done right the first time.
Most often we work with platinum, gold, or silver, but we're always up for a challenge. Using both torches and a laser welder, we can perform repairs that can't be done with a torch alone.
We don't repair watches, but we do offer battery replacement.

Good To Know
Have a question we didn't cover here? Stop by or give us a call and our jewelers will be happy to help.
We estimate most jewelry repairs will be completed within 10 days. If special parts are needed or during the holiday season, repairs may take a few extra days.
With four experienced jewelers on-site, we offer one of the fastest repair turnaround times in the area. Your jewelry never leaves our store, except for bead and pearl restringing, which is done by a trusted specialist we've worked with for decades.
Yes! We guarantee our repairs (on the item we repaired), items we sell, and custom design work for one year from the date of pickup, with no additional warranty required. During that time, we'll repair any problems or replace as warranted due to structural issues or normal wear and tear.
We can't cover pieces that have been abused, like going through a garbage disposal, getting rolled over by a vehicle, crushed in a doorway, or battered in a motorcycle accident (yes, these are all real customer stories!). For items not covered by our guarantee, we're happy to repair them at our normal rates.
For an exact estimate, bring the piece into our store. We can't accurately quote a price until we see the item, learn why it broke, and make a thorough assessment of the repair. That's why we don't quote repair costs over the phone.
Some repairs aren't recommended when we determine they won't last or hold up to normal wear. In those cases, we'll advise you not to repair the item, because we want to make sure your jewelry is wearable.
Jewelry Appraisals
There are many reasons you may need a properly executed jewelry appraisal. Most customers need one to add an item as a rider to their insurance policy for protection against loss or damage.
Common Reasons For An Appraisal
Had appraisals done years ago? The value of precious metals, diamonds, and gemstones changes over time, so it might be time for an update. Keep your valuables protected with a current appraisal.
Schedule An AppraisalJewelry Consignment
Like most of us, you probably have jewelry you inherited or that's been sitting in the back of your jewelry box. Maybe it doesn't suit your lifestyle, or your tastes have changed.
Our consignment program lets you sell your unwanted fine jewelry through our store. Many people love collecting estate jewelry because it's often hard to find. We're very picky about what goes into our consignment case, we especially look for unique or different pieces, and we stand behind our consignment sales for a year.
Come in soon and bring your piece with you so we can talk about it.
