The other guy I just got my watches back from took five minutes to address this issue and found that the battery terminals had been BENT on this and another Swiss watch, which was keeping the battery from connecting properly on either. This is after dropping the first watch off TWICE for WEEKS. I sure am glad I didn't listen to BOD. Replacing the movement would have totaled my watch. A to Z on Harlem saved me hundreds of dollars. It took them five minutes. Cost me $10. F- Absolute ineptitude.

I sent out a request via yelp to a whole bunch of different jewelers that were local to Lincoln Park and Lakeview. Lincoln Park Gems, was the first to respond! I spoke with Victor, who was incredibly friendly and pleasant said that he was planning on closing a little bit early because it was New Year's eve, but then offered to stay a little later in order to help get this watch sorted that night! (Totally did not need to do this). When we arrived Victor, (very well dressed, stylish gentleman) sat us down, made my son, and I feel very welcome, and then proceeded to explain what he was going to do to the watch and made suggestions about how many links to remove and why. He was able to make the adjustments very quickly, under 5 mins and was extremely pleasant and professional from start to finish! All around. A+++ service and done with a genuine great attitude and welcoming vibe! I'll definitely be back for anything else I need adjusting/fixing jewelry or watch related!

The jewelers at Donna's offered to repair or replace. It was a substantial difference in price but knowing how the shank was compromised, I went for replacement. They suggested a thicker and slightly wider shank and sized it up a 1/4 size. I picked it up a week later and it looks fantastic. You cannot detect the repair and it was beautifully polished. I'm pleased to know this ring is secure for the next quarter century. I was also invited to return for free cleaning anytime.

I'd gotten a quote (which took about 10 days) at another local jeweler and felt strongly I was being very over-charged. At Bryn Mawr I was attended by Emmett, who was friendly and helpful. I wanted to do a fixed pendant for the diamond in the engagement ring and make cluster earring from the small stones in the wedding band. Emmett helped me pick a chain and ensured they had a clear picture of what I wanted for the reasons, then provided a full quote including the purchase of the scrap gold. It was about 40% less than I was previously quoted. I paid the deposit and hoped for a good outcome! I picked up my new jewelry Sunday and couldn't be happier! It's all beautiful and exactly what I envisioned. The pics don't do it justice. These are lovely and can be passed down one day.

After reading countless glowing reviews and loving the convenient location, I decided to give them a try--and I'm SO glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such a warm, friendly welcome. Colleen assisted me with my custom nameplate order and was absolutely wonderful--kind, knowledgeable, and never pushy. She offered a range of price options and made the whole process feel easy and exciting. I placed my order expecting a couple weeks' turnaround, but to my surprise, it was ready in just one week--and it was perfect! While picking it up, I asked about refreshing my white gold wedding ring. Colleen not only had it cleaned and polished to a beautiful, shiny, like-new finish, but she also noticed the center stone was slightly loose and had it secured--all included in the service price! I've officially found my go-to jewelry store just 15 minutes from home. I've already recommended them to my bestie, who's planning to have a bracelet made--and I'll be taking her there soon! This is a solid 5+ star review from a VERY happy customer. Thank you, Bryn Mawr Jewelry Company, for your honesty, craftsmanship, and exceptional service. You've earned a customer for life!

The lady that helped me told me that the person that would service the watch was not in and would it would take a couple of days. A few days later they call me and tell me that the watch isn't working with the new battery. I thought it was weird that it wasn't working since it was before the battery dies. So I took it to the Swap o Rama flea market and the gentleman there opened the watch and told me that they bent a piece that holds the battery in place. He said instead of removing the piece probably by removing the screws they tried to pry it out and in turn scratching the pieces and bending the piece. So he ended up ordering the replacement parts and fixed it for me. I wouldn't recommend this place. If you do happen to do business here be very careful because if they are doing this type of work, I can imagine where else they're cutting corners or deceiving customers. Whether it's with watches or gold jewelry that they sell or buy. I mean, I got my watch fixed at a flea market for God sakes.
