I was looking for a jeweler to solder my bracelets and anklets without costing me a fortune total of 5.
David, the jeweler, has over 35 years' experience. He has a small shop, not fancy, all out in the open with his work tools. He fixes watches and changes batteries too.
I found Gold Touch Jeweler on the web. I searched for jewelry fixed near me. I liked the fact that he has a video of his work. I felt he had nothing to hide. He does his work on the premises as you wait.
I expected to be told to come back for 5 items but he took care of me right there. I am always afraid I will never see my gold again when sent away, with the way gold cost today, and big-name retail chains fix nothing on the premises always send away and charge an arm and leg.
While waiting, I overheard the next customer that came in she was referred to come here for sizing that no one would touch her engagement ring because the rock was bigger than the setting. It was bought at a pawn shop, size 9 and she is 4. Without hesitation he explained setting too thin and rock is too big makes the ring flop around but he could bring it down to 4.5 just enough to get over her knuckle. She said, okay. I was like WOW in my head.
He cleaned my jewelry and would ask me questions as he went along with specifications or concerns when gold was hollow or solid and how it would solder.
Based on what was done with my jewelry, I was charged $40.00 each and I was happy with the price and the work. I have been quoted $150.oo each at big retail store (parts and labor).
I will be going back there again!!! Thank you, David. read more
