My father passed away in January and I kept his college class ring, as education was crazy…read moreimportant to him. It was entirely too heavy to wear on a necklace, so I wanted to get it sized. He was a fairly large man and his ring was an 11 and I typically wear an 8. I'd seen ads for Kragh's Jewelry at almost every movie I'd sat through at the local movie theater, so thumbs up to their marketing team -- it works! But I also liked the idea of keeping it local, so they were my first and only stop. The first woman who assisted me didn't think it could be done as she was concerned about some of the decorations on the sides being impacted as well as an inscription on the inside by the sizing. Since I had just returned from the funeral and my emotions were all over the place, I accidentally burst out into tears. She gently handed me tissues and consulted with the jeweler to see what could be done. He looked at it closely and let me know that he'd find a way to make it work. The ring was done within a week and I received a text letting me know it was ready. Unfortunately, I wasn't ready to pick it up yet and they were so sweet about letting me pick the ring up on my own time. I picked it up today and it's perfect. Everything on the sides and the inscription were preserved perfectly. I'm so entirely happy with I didn't read reviews or shop around, so I have no idea if the price I paid for the sizing is astronomical. I just know my mind wasn't in the space to bargain shop and they customer service made it worth every penny I paid.

Best of Bastrop 2021?! Not sure how this business made that list. More like worst of Bastrop of all…read moretimes. I am astounded at the ridiculous quote of $250 to resize my ring down a size and would've been 7 days to get it back. Another option was their express package however it was basically double the price getting close to $500 for this service. It's a simple band, white gold. This quote should have been no more than $95 at the top end and would've taken 20 minutes to resize. I called around and received other quotes from other businesses and they said I was getting duped. I called Kragh's to ask if they could renegotiate and they would not. I will NEVER use this business - they will dupe you!!!

Of course if you are a coin collector, this is definitely your place. I also discovered that you can bring jewelry in need of repair here as well.

People say bad things about pawn shops all the time but everytime I go to one I leave happy, I bought my taylor guitar from this place for half the price it was worth and it's my favorite guitar I've ever owned. They gave me 120 off the asking price and sent me off a happy man. I love these guys, they're awesome.

The place is packed wall-to-wall with quirky gag gifts, retro knickknacks, and offbeat finds you didn't even know you needed--think everything from sarcastic coffee mugs to oddball toys and prank gifts that'll have you cracking up on the spot. The vibe is playful and light, and the staff totally leans into the fun. They're happy to help you pick out something ridiculous for your friend's birthday, or just let you wander and laugh at the shelves for a while. It's one of those spots you stop into "just to look" and somehow walk out with three things you had no intention of buying--but no regrets.

Ok, so I will start by saying everyone sees a problem and I think in all truth do a little research…read moreand you'll find more to the problem. Yes we love our jewelry to tell a story. Precious metal comes with a price. However!!! I do believe James Avery is gouging us all and they know it for their own benefit. I don't get it honestly, why would you do people you rely on to make your business thrive like that. Metals are not exactly that expensive when you have millions purchasing and it's a guarantee purchase, so you won't have any loss to eat at the end. Also Ive noticed others selling sterling silver at lower cost so your explanation is a wash. My opinion! I feel if you make better charitable large donations so you don't get pinched maybe thought out better, so the customers doesn't get effected. Way to look out for your customers loyalty there! Also maybe we should band together and just take a break from even buying from this company and go to one that's more trustworthy. I've seen telling silver better selection as long at $12.50. Food for thought and everyone have a nice day!

I am a watch collector and I ONLY bring my watches to them for work. If you have a high end Swiss automatic (Rolex, Omega) they will be honest and let you know they can't service it. Most places will say they can do more and ruin a Rolex and wash their hands of any responsibility. They charge 5% of what you'll pay at the mall or other places for watch or jewelry maintenance. They are quick, easy and friendly. I had 6 watches worked on today for only $60 total, the mall wanted $150 a piece. I really appreciate these people and you will as well if you bring your watches or jewelry to them. Thank you!
