Then some nice costume jewelry that wasn't of great value, but nice keepsakes, and then gave me detailed prices on the last few items. They also did a nice job making me an earring and buying some inexpensive things that added to something less than $1k. I worked w Arjuna. He was real kind at a time i needed kindness, and Govind "came from a friend" who had used them a couple times over the years, so i felt i could trust them, and it appears i could. But things are never as valuable for sale as one might hope. :)

Renaissance Jewelers have been around since I can remember, and are the best quality local jeweler…read morethat I have found. They offer a true unique Gainesville experience with one of a kind jewelry, custom work, and repairs. Whenever I need repairs on my wedding ring, they are the only ones I trust to handle this priceless item with care and perfection. The cost is always fair, and I feel that they are never out to get my money. Again, this is one of those businesses that Gainesville is lucky to have. I live in Tampa Bay and drive all the way back to my hometown for my repairs at Renaissance. I wish that there were more businesses like Renaissance Jewelers.

If your worried about trusting him don't be. He honestly loves what he does when he first saw my great great grandmothers ring I think he looked more mesmerized then I was by the ring. Someday I will be back to drop off that ring you so wanted to fix for me.

The results are a beautiful, modern looking pair of earrings and matching pendant. I never hesitate to look to the Village Jeweler for any jewelry purchase or repair.

They were courteous and ready to help us in a tight timeline. I gave my son a watch for graduation the night before the graduation ceremony but didn't fit his wrist.

I asked a for simple quote on being able to add 1 or 2 links to a new watch with one store wanting to charge $45 for a 5-10 min job and the other vendor would not even bother to quote. Oaks said cost will be around $20 depending on complexity but it is a new omega speedmaster and we know it is straightforward to solve. "We know he wants to wear for graduation so just come in and we will adjust it while you wait" That is exactly what they delivered and very satisfying to make it easy to do business with people who understand service and sense of urgency. They also told me the business has been in Gainesville for a long time and now you know why Thank you Oaks Jewelry!
