I brought it in and they told me it would take about a week and they were done appraising it in about a day. I think it helped that I had all the paperwork that mentioned what kind of stones and metals were used in my ring. When I brought the ring in, I was helped immediately and given a yellow piece of paper to bring in when I returned. They asked for my full legal name and address. They gave me a call when they were done. When I returned, I showed the slip, got my ring back, and an appraisal sheet. They had me review the sheet to make sure everything was written correctly before getting the Appraiser's signature. This cost me $90, which after some research seemed to be the cheapest and most affordable cost for an engagement ring appraisal. It's a tiny shop with Carytown style parallel parking out front. The only downside about this shop is that it smells like cigarettes, but I was in and out of there so quickly this didn't affect my experience. Plus I got great service! I highly recommend visiting.

It was just minutes before closing and I was still given a gracious reception. I was a little embarrassed as I explained that I had brought a piece of costume jewelry that needed a repair in the chain, that it wasn't valuable except to me because a beloved friend had given it to me. The young woman that greeted me was reassuring and asked to see the necklace. She put it under her jeweler's light and magnifying glass and was able to repair it as I waited. If you have ever had a sentimental piece that you thought was ruined, and someone was able to repair it you will have an idea of the joy I felt when she handed the necklace back to me and I slipped it around my neck. This is what I know, from now on I will be stopping in at this lovely shop for any gifts I need. In this past year, I have made a personal commitment to avoid shopping online and instead I want to support local shop owners. They are the ones that invest in our community and I want to honor that. My reception and service that I experienced at "The Velvet Case" has increased my commitment to stop there first and I will be back often to celebrate birthdays, graduations, weddings, and new babies.

I am extremely disappointed in Treasures Through Time. The first time my fiancé and I went into…read morethis store, the owners were very helpful and we found the engagement ring we both loved. After purchasing and receiving the ring, things really went down hill. I lost a diamond out of the side of the ring within a week of receiving it. When I called, I was unable to get ahold of the shop because their hours changed with no notice. When I brought my ring in to have it looked at, I was accused of "banging the ring around". I left the ring in the shop and decided to get an estimate of cost. However, the same day my fiancé and I decided to take the ring to his family jeweler because they would do the repairs for free. When I went back into the shop to pick up my ring, the owner told me I was confused about what they meant in front of a group of costumers even though I had a copy of the receipt saying estimate needed and told me he would deal with me later. I promptly left with my ring. I would not recommend Treasures Through Time unless you are just browsing or do not plan on doing follow up appointments.

Update: After posting my review, the store manager called to offer a re-repair of my engagement…read morering. However, I have already had the repairs done elsewhere (as stated in my review) due to valid concerns over work quality. During the call, it was made clear that because the mistakes were fixed elsewhere, they would not be taking any further steps to make the situation right. This was a problem they created as what should have been a straightforward repair turned into significant damage that forced me to take matters into my own hands and seek repairs with another jeweler. While I appreciated the follow-up, it is clear that the situation will not be made right. Original review: I'm extremely disappointed in my recent experience with Schwarzschild Keller & George Jewelers. I brought in my engagement ring on June 20 for what should have been a simple and routine prong re-tipping, quoted at $100. When I finally picked it up on July 11 (after delays), the ring looked nothing like the one I had entrusted to them: the prongs were uneven, the center stone was crooked, there were visible solder marks, and the craftsmanship was shockingly poor. I was told the work would be redone at no charge, but the damage to my ring and the quality of the first repair made me uncomfortable entrusting it to them again. A second jeweler has since confirmed that the entire head of the ring now needs to be rebuilt, at a cost of $375, damage that would not have occurred had the original work been done properly. I first contacted Keith directly on July 16 to try and resolve this, and then submitted a message via the "Contact Us" form on their website on July 21 (which states someone will respond within 48 hours). As of today, I have received no response at all. The lack of accountability and total silence from the store is unacceptable. I now have to spend nearly four times the original estimate to fix damage caused by their own poor workmanship. I would not recommend this jeweler based on my experience.
