Yes, we size rings in our store. Keep in mind that we do not size them while you wait. The items need to be left in-store to allow ample time to do the repair properly. The price depends on the width of the shank, how much it needs to be sized up or down, and the type of metal. We size gold, sterling silver, and platinum. There are additional charges for larger rings, such as class rings and grooved or fancy shanks. Free quotes for the sizing cost are given in the store. If it is a newly purchased ring from us, the first sizing is included in the price. We generally have the new ring sized and ready that day or the next, depending on the time of day it is purchased. Important note: We do not size any alternative metal rings.

Yes, we do repairs in the store, but not while you wait. In certain unique situations, a repair may need to be sent out. If your item needs to be sent out, we will inform you beforehand. Repairs we do include, but are not limited to: soldering rings together, sizing rings, repairing broken shanks, repairing broken chains, re-tipping claws, replacing missing stones, resetting stones, and redesigning rings.

We have batteries in the store. We also do watch band repairs, sell and replace new bands, and take the link out. All other watch repairs we send out. Watch repairs are $10.00. The time varies depending on parts availability. The average time is approximately 3-4 weeks.

Yes, we engrave on merchandise purchased from our store and merchandise not from our store. Merchandise that is not purchased from our store is at the customer’s own risk. If the item peels and chips, the machine slips, or any other mishap may occur, we do not replace or pay to replace the item. This rarely happens, but it is our policy to inform our customers ahead of time just in case. Items purchased from our store are $0.50 a letter and require a minimum amount of $5.00. If it is not purchased from our store, it is $1.00 per letter, and the minimum is $10.00. If the item is large or special engraving is required, extra fees may apply.

We do not engrave on glass. However, we do have a company that we can order many glass-engraved items from.

We do batteries for almost every watch brand, including Fossil. We can do most batteries while you wait. Some will have to be left. If they have a regular back, the charge is $10.00. If there are screws in the back, the charge is $15.00.

We do take links out of almost all watch brands. The cost is $5.00. We can also add links.

We check and clean jewelry. We clean one to two pieces at no charge. If you have more than that, we can give an estimate of what the charge would be.

We do appraisals. There are two types of appraisals that we do. The first type is an idea of what an item is worth. To do this, we will appraise one or two pieces at no charge. We do not write anything down for this estimate. It is just that—an estimate. The second type of appraisal is a written insurance appraisal. This is a written appraisal of what the item is and what the replacement cost would be for insurance. The items have to be left at the store so they can be cleaned and graded. The written insurance appraisal costs approximately $125.00. The price usually includes one to two pieces.

We do sometimes have silver and gold coins for sale. We have a company that we can order the coin mountings from.
