Had I known it would take this long, I would have found another location to take it to.

I have several luxury watches…read more(Tudor, Hamilton, Ball) and when I need a bracelet adjustment (e.g. removing links from a metal watch bracelet), I will only trust Frank to handle my luxury watches. I also have two specific examples of how Frank saved the day: 1. I have a pair of earrings made of semi-precious stone with a thin gold wire running through a tiny hole drilled in the top of the stone. The gold wire on one of the earrings wore out and snapped. I took it to an upscale jewellery store for repair and they said they couldn't do it because the hole was so tiny and the wire was so thin - they didn't have wire small enough to fix it. I took it to Frank instead. He took one look, said that yes, the wire was tiny, but he could special order the right wire if I was willing to wait two weeks. He fixed it and it's been perfect ever since. 2. I received a vintage, 35-year-old quartz Mickey Mouse watch by Lorus. It didn't keep proper time, as it lost 20 minutes every day, despite having a new battery. Brought it to Frank, he cleaned it, serviced it, replaced the rotted gasket, and it now keeps perfect time. Don't be put off by his modest storefront - it's not the jewellery he sells that's the draw, it's the expertise of his repair service that's important. There's nobody I would trust more with handling my expensive pieces for day-to-day minor repairs or bracelet/strap adjustments.

Bit of a weird story - I'm divorced, and don't intend on having another relationship. My kids know…read morethis. I was getting hit on a lot in front of my kids, and one of them suggested that I get a wedding band. They wanted to buy it for me, but they're young - so I told them they could pick one out and I'd pay for it. We went in together after browsing online and thought we knew what we wanted. The sales lady there was very knowledgeable, and steered them away from the sterling silver choice they'd made to a white gold, and they ended up choosing a very thin, delicate-looking ring I would have thought was 'too small' or too simple. She insisted I just try it on and winked at the kids. So I did, and it paired BEAUTIFULLY with my white sapphire ring. Very knowledgeable staff, very patient with my kids who were all over the place with their choices, and just knew what would work! Just delighted with the set now! (both rings are from Peoples).

Nowadays in the age of Fitbits and smart phones, I've noticed that not too many people wear analog watches anymore. While I have to keep up with technology in my work life, and I do like Yelp and the conveniences of things like GPS to show me the fastest/shortest route to where I'm driving, at heart I am a luddite. I like the life of simpler times, and I also like analog watches. I view them as functional jewelery. I also feel that watch repair is a dying art, and I want to do my part in keeping it alive. Vahid also repairs jewelry and sells some jewelry and watches in his store too. Although I personally found the jewelery styles not contemporary enough for my tastes. The items looked like things from the estate sale of someone's great-grandmother, lol. I will buy my jewelry elsewhere, but I would not hesitate to come to Fooshin for my watch and jewelery repairs. Street parking only. Luckily, I live within walking distance ;)

I was able to wait around and it took all of 15-20min from check in to check out process. I really appreciate how efficient and friendly they were. And my ring came out looking brand new.

Amazing place. I…read morefirst contacted Mathew 2 years ago, around Christmas time. I had a vision of what the perfect ring for my partner would look like. I went to countless jewellery stores and was always told "the features are too complicated and it doesn't warrant the design." This all changed when I met Mathew. He was open and willing to take on the challenge of building the perfect ring. I described to him the meaning of the ring. I even went as far as trying to figure out how many twists the bands would have and the number of diamonds on the band, in order to be symbolic of our relationship. Mathew asked me why I had chosen a specific style and feature. So I described that the band was to be simple yet stunning, like my partner. The center stone was to represent her heart and I wanted it to be as big and clear as possible. Together we went through multiple design stages. For example, changing the diamond sizes on the twist in order to make it look nicer. When it came to choosing the center stone, Mathew knew exactly what I was after. He told me that it would take time, but he was willing to bring in diamonds to show me, until we found the perfect one. Never once did he pressure me into choosing a specific stone. He told me to be patient and that when the moment came, I would know I had found the perfect diamond. Well the day came. Mathew presented me with the final stone, and he was right, I knew it was the one for the ring. He agreed that it matched my description perfectly. The ring design was completed next and high quality photos were given to me for approval. I once again decided to make changes to the ring. This time adding each of our initials and birth stones to the side of the ring. Mathew agreed it was a very nice touch to the ring. When all was said and done, the final ring came out better then I had ever expected. Mathew said the reaction on my face was priceless. He felt the ring was exactly what I had envisioned for my partner. All this to say, Dixon Jewelers allowed me to come up with exactly what I felt my partner deserved in order to reflect who she is. Dixon Jewelers accepted the challenge and was fully supportive through this LONGER than normal process (only due to my changes :) ). Thank you so much for all your hard work and I look forward to doing more projects with you in the future.
