Not that this place (or the EXTREMELY honest, kind hearted, professional and knowledgeable husband & wife team who own and run it) need any MORE 5 out of 5 stars (or 10 out of 10) but I had such great experiences there I figured I'd do my very first and only review EVER in my 56+ years alive. First, I am only visiting California and when I called to ask if they replaced watch batteries (and to see how much). When my reply was "Yes and 10 dollars" (*TEN!! DOLLARS!! WHAT!!?). Since all the previous places I called charged quite a bit more, I set a time to go there and have it done. While there I met Rod & Carely (etc.) and as Rod replaced (my 'late') father's watch battery, we conversed about multiple topics (partially about coin collecting (which we both do) and that I also had/have with me my father's wedding band that I used to wear as a pinky ring but it was too tight and 2 of the larger diamonds fell out. Hopefully I've learned my lesson not to wear ANY jewelry while playing sports, working in the yard or doing ANYTHING that might damage or cause loss. I found one of the 2 diamond and had/have that also. Anyway after he looked at it and told me how much it all would cost me to make the ring larger, put the diamond I had back in the ring AND put ANOTHER (same high quality) diamond in there, I was EXTREMELY surprised at how very....VERY reasonable his quote was. I have included some pictures but they don't show that Rod takes SUCH **GREAT** pride in not only *TRULY* doing the 'right thing(s)' but going even MORE above and beyond what he agreed to. I am not suggesting that he will do the exact same 'thing(s)' for you if you go there but for me, instead of just 'stretching' the back/bottom of my ring, he actually ADDED MORE GOLD *AND* polished it (which he also did a FANTASTIC job doing that too) at NO extra cost to me.
I don't know about 'you' but to 'me' when someone.... when ANYONE not only does GREAT work (whatever that might be) and you SEE that person GENUINELY takes pride in whatever work they do but ALSO takes that EXTRA step, that....THAT place is worth mentioning so others (like yourselves) can know about it.
.....and apparently by all the MANY others who gave 5 stars and PERFECT reviews, I am not the only person who thinks & feels that way. read more
