True Gem! Came here…read morefor jewelry repair and watch battery change and I am so so so glad I came here and found this place in quaint town of Clayton! Venue: it is a small store. Jewelry displays present. I'm so glad I beat the crowd because after I was seen, there was a line. Service: exceptional, excellent, exceeded my expectations! Ms. Donna was amazing! She examined all the jewelries I brought, explained the process of jewelry repair. Provided great insight and recommendations. I felt I can trust all staff here just with my encounter with Ms Donna. Watch battery change took 5-7 minutes. They even cleaned the watch for us. Price: now this is the important part - alongside service, quality of work, you also shop around for the price of service. When I came here and got the quote I've realized I've been getting overcharged and getting ripped off at other places! Like the repair shops in chapel hill, Durham and south point mall For example: battery change in other places were $50-75- we got all sort of excuses that it is a special watch, need special battery from other places. Here $15 + tax. Informed us the battery should last (+/-) 5 years. Repair quote was fraction of the cost we got quoted previously at the other places. Very satisfied and will be definitely coming here!

Wade's Jewelers is truly the best jewelry store in our area. After a very negative experience with…read moreanother local jeweler regarding my diamond ring, they treated me with exceptional kindness and compassion when I brought my ring to them. They repaired my diamond ring exactly as it should have been done originally, with outstanding craftsmanship. After seeing the poor quality of the prior work, they generously offered a significant discount, which I greatly appreciated. In addition to repairing my ring, they are also correcting a strand of pearls that had been improperly restrung at the same local jeweler--again at a discounted rate out of genuine consideration. Their professionalism, skill, and integrity truly set them apart. Wade's Jewelers has earned my continued business and my highest recommendation.

The gentleman helped me immediately. He took one look at my ring. Walked around back. Heard a few ting ring tings and it was good as new! When we asked how much? He said nothing just come back and see me. I was floored. We will definitely be back for my next piece of jewelry!!! No more big box corporate places for us!

As a jeweler, they should know scratch tests are not meant for higher carat gold but a xrf or pmi gun.

Their work is amazing from what I have seen but I can not trust them. Beware.

From the moment I met one of the owners, this gem of a store got my attention. Before setting foot into the shop, I was impressed by their proactive, organic social media campaigns.

They know how to make the jewelry purchase experience fun and memorable. Each piece is created by talented architects with impressive tools and timeless machinery. There are exquisite pieces that are one of a kind with gems carefully purchased from every part of our planet. I realized after my first visit to the local mall here how I'd never again attempt a purchase at a chain jeweler. It's not too late for Christmas with their fully staffed extended Holiday hours and a dedicated parking lot. And then there's always Valentines Day.
