Quality work. Reasonable prices. Family atmosphere. Years of community service, seen in its store displays and collections.

Im so sorry for your loss, I could tell he was such a kind man. Going way above and beyond to be helpful and do the best job possible

How do we set an appointment to pick up our work in progress -- we have come by the shop every day last week and there are others constantly wondering how we contact you? Your mail-box is full, so we cannot arrange an appointment. read more

With the death of owner John, the store is temporarily closed. Limited hours. Tried to retrieve watch only to find that the VM is full and email not answered. Staffing is inconsistent, if there at all. Sorry! He was a wonderful jeweler. read more

What an unbelievable kind man I encountered today. I would highly recommend this business. I operate off of integrity and honesty. I do realize this is extremely rare now a days. I went into the shop today, with a bracelet that means a lot to me, but the clasp was bent and kept coming undone. Let's just say, this is my go to repair shop for now on. From my fine jewelry to my just gold items. Please, shop owner, if you read your reviews. Just know, I appreciate you. What a kind person you are! read more

Kenmore Jewel Box - My Bracelet - Jewelry Repair Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

loved their work, but still can't get in contact to retrieve a ring. this is jan 2026.

I needed a gold and diamond ring repaired. A piece of gold broke off an intricate design. Was promised it would be done in 3 days, two weeks later still no ring. I had to call repeatedly to find out the status. I believe it was the owner that worked on this piece and he was maybe having health issues? The people were nice but should have kept me informed. I was worried that they had lost it as this happened to me before with a jeweler in Greenwood. read more

An absolute neighborhood gem! One of the longest standing members of the Kenmore community, they are honest, humble and a supermensch! They aren't just a small business, they are pillars of the community, examples of what it means to belong to a small town. The very skilled man who operates this place is a pure wizard and his family who help him operate are treasures. So few of these soulful businesses remain and I'm so lucky to live near such an establishment. Thank you so much for fixing our family heirloom. read more

Best experience ever. Somehow I destroyed my wedding ring. I took it here to see if it was possible to fix. They needed to reshape the band, fix 16 prongs and replaced one diamond. I picked it up and it was beautiful. Couldn't even tell I had ruined it. Loved Ruth. So kind and helpful. Highly recommend the Kenmore Jewel Box!! read more

Kenmore Jewel Box - Fixed! - Jewelry Repair Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

See all

Took an old chain of mine to get repaired and it took him a couple days because he was swamped with repairs. He also polished it up and only charged me $12 I couldn't believe it. He is the best. Going to see him tomorrow for a couple more repairs on other pieces. So happy to see him again. read more

John helped to create our wedding rings over 20 years ago. He is still doing very quality work and at unbelievably reasonable prices. I just had several rings resized, and his work is still top quality. It will be very sad for the community when this talented, kind, and honest man retires. If you have jewelry needing to be resized or repaired, go see John right away! read more

I am so happy!! I came here because of the nice Yelp reviews and I was so excited to replace the batteries in two of my watches (Ann Klein and Seiko). The man fixed both in under ten minutes. There were some nice photos to look at while I waited. It only cost me $5 per watch and I was teary-eyed after seeing the watch my grandma gave before she passed work again. This place did not disappoint!:) read more

We've been going to John's forever. He is a gem! Nicest person, treats everyone like family. Only takes cash but if you don't have any on you, he will allow you to just come back and pay him. That's unheard of in this day, but that's the kind of person he is. I dread the day he doesn't open for business anymore, I hope he never retires. He charges such low prices that you ask him, "are you sure that's all?". read more

Superb service, quality, honest and highly ethical. Nothing like a family owned business to get the best of the best experience. There are not enough Stars to offer John. He is a true mensch. 20 years of impeccable craftsmanship & service. read more

I cannot rave about this establishment enough. Extremely courteous crew accompanied with a honest business practice and extremely personable staff, this place is great. I came in for a battery replacement on my watch and a cleaning on other jewelry. The staff told me the cost up front and made sure I was okay with it before proceeding. THAT is old school business service right there! Highly recommend this place. Owner and his staff are true professionals. The work done for my jewelry was beautifully done! read more

Family run store that has been able to stay in business for decades because it prioritizes service, value, and ethics. I am so glad to hear that John is bringing his family in to keep the business going as he starts to slow down a little. This is the only place I go for jewelry services and advice. read more

Great service and prices. Very friendly Wish I had found them before this Highly recommend read more

John is the best and honest jeweler you can depend on! 40 years with John I wouldn't go anywhere eles

Every time I've come in this store I am very happy with the repairs John does. He is the most honest man you will ever deal with. I totally forgot his business is cash or check and I only brought a credit card so I said hold onto the jewelry while I run to the bank and get cash. He waved his hand and said take the jewelry just bring the money the next time you are by. All of a sudden I heard a woman say "Here John"and she put down the cash I owed. I told her to just wait 5 minutes while I ran to the Bank of America up the street and she said it's fine you don't need to pay me back. I was brought up to always repay a debt so since she wouldn't take my money I asked her what her favorite charity was and so tomorrow Bella's Voice thrift shop (who gives 100% of its profit to helping animals) will reap the reward of Carla's kindness So not only does Jewelry box do wonderful work but they have wonderful customers like Carla. They both made my day! read more

The owner of this jewelry shop is really nice and does great work. He takes time to visit with each customer. My 93 year old mother would not dream of going anywhere else. read more

I can understand why Kenmore jewelry has a 5 star rating. Great customer service, friendly. I will only come here for any jewelry from now on. Amazed right now Thank you for your help and service read more

John has repaired and refurbished two very sentimental antique diamond rings and replaced a lost diamond in each of them for me. He is kind, honest, and his work is impeccable! Thank you!!! read more

I'm pretty sure I reviewed this place a few years ago, but my post can no longer be seen, so here goes again... The owner, John I gather, has a heart of gold. He seems to be one of those cherished shop-owners who cares more about what is right than lining his own pockets. Last time, he fixed a ring which subsequently lost its diamond. He replaced the stone, and fixed it again, for free, no questions asked. This time, I needed a battery changed in my watch, and went to Jewel Box. The place down the Street has charged me 3 times the price that John did! My only suggestion is that you call before you arrive; sometimes he's "stepped out" and can temporarily be closed. BTW, all those photos on the wall are his adoring fans and clients - he apparently has more followers than a teen-aged girl on Snapchat... read more

Lovely old school jeweler. Please support local businesses like these! Watch battery replacement on the spot. Super friendly older gentleman in a strip mall. Thank you so much for your quick service! read more

Five bucks. Five whole dollars to change your battery by this kind man. He also has this jar for donation to collect for local charities so give that dollar you would've otherwise lost to taxes. read more

John, the owner... I don't even have words for how sweet this man is. I'm a Kenmore resident but haven't had a need for a local jeweler since I bought my house here. Yesterday, John was very kind hearted when I brought my beautiful, custom wedding ring set to him to have it essentially destroyed. I have to return the heirloom diamonds to my in laws as part of my dissolution and I only had 24 hours to get it done. I didn't know where to go or who I could trust and a friend recommended John. Duh! Why hasn't I thought of Kenmore Jewel Box? In less than 24 hours he disassembled my rings and actually hardly even damaged the bands - 15 diamonds of varying sizes each embedded within hand designed beading - hard to remove and he did it in a super impressive manner. When I picked everything up today he didn't charge me enough and wouldn't let me pay more. Instead he insisted anything else I wanted to pay be donated to a fundraiser jar in his shop. He took the time to ask me about myself, my background and children. He genuinely wanted to make sure that we were ok in the process of this divorce. I can't even believe what a kind man and shop owner he is. It brings me to tears, thinking about his kindness. What an amazing asset to this community. read more

Quick, Easy, Affordable Watch Battery Replacement! I was able to come here on my lunch hour, communicate that my watch battery had died, and have it replaced all within a span of 5 minutes. Parking is plentiful, cost was $5 (CASH! Credit cards not accepted here). I really appreciated that the gentleman actually tested my battery to make sure that it was dead and that was the actual problem with my watch. read more

What a gem, this place is a hidden treasure in Kenmore. I stopped in with a gemstone ring I was hoping to resize. A lot of jewelers wouldn't resize it since the gem is cracked and resizing could break it, but this business owner (John?) said he'd try it if I wanted him too. I was thrilled when I picked it up in PERFECT condition, shinier than the day I bought it! Plus it was only $25, which I was stunned by - I was expecting at least double that, especially since it was a special situation with the cracked gem. I tried to give him more/tip him and he insisted I put the extra cash in a bin on the counter for a local charity. What an amazing business owner and craftsman, I'm looking for more things to bring to him to give him more business because he's earned a customer for life. He only takes cash, but there's lots of ATM's nearby. read more

Went here today to get new batteries put into two watches. The man whom I assume is the owner helped me. He was very genuine and sweet. No wonder people love this place. I decided to leave them and come back later to pick up since I had errands to run. It was only $20 total which is less than it would have been at Freddy's so I'm glad I came here though be aware credit cards aren't accepted. Luckily I had cash on me. I'll definitely be back for future jewelry repair needs. read more

Wow. What a wonderful place. I stopped in to see if he could fix a ring and he was wonderful and ended up cleaning all my jewelry I was wearing! Such a sweet man and great customer service! Would certainly recommend!! read more

Nice gentleman，very friendly to all his customer，charges very reasonable price for fixes（5 dollars for watch battery）I did not have cash with me and he insist I have my new battery watch with me and pay next time read more

Kenmore Jewel Box - nice shop owner - Jewelry Repair Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

Need a watch battery changed? This is your place! The guy that runs the shop is great. I went in there the other day and didn't have cash on me (credit cards not taken). He changed the watch on the battery and let me come back later with the payment. How many places are still like that? This is the genuine, real-deal small-town shop. I would give it 5 stars but the inventory of other items seems to have dropped of late. I think that is more a reflection of the economic times than anything. I like to support the local businesses, if I can. read more

True old school ma-pop owned jewelry store. Cash only. Watch battery replacement service: Had multiple watches serviced here. Only $5-$8 per battery for replacements, very competitive price. However the bottom seal brand decals are not perfectly aligned, and one was positioned upside down. I noticed one watch did get scratched on the bottom. I understand it's tricky to pop off the seals, with a blade, but he should have at least pointed it out and apologized. So absolutely recommended for quick inexpensive battery replacements, but not if you're picky. read more

I liked reading the reviews. The owner is such a hard working man. Got my watch battery replaced in no time and he even took off a couple of links. Didn't think he would charge me extra as the other reviewers said there was no charge, but for the price of the battery replacement, a couple dollars for taking off two links on my watch was not a problem. Keep up the good job! We like to see small businesses be successful. read more

Great local jeweler for sizing and repairs. Price was 1/4 of what other large jewelry totes wanted to size a ring. Great workmanship and honest local retailer read more

One of the best businesses around. I was attended to by John, a kind, elderly gentleman and he fixed all 3 of my watches. A small hand in one of the watches could not be located when opened upon repair, so it was partially fixed and I was given a discount against that. I have been twice to this place as it is very affordable and this review was highly overdue. It's good to have these folks around, who can fix broken things and make them as good as new. And John is the kind of person you would meet for the first time and he will make you feel like you have known each other forever. Highly recommend this store! Promise you will not regret it. read more

i've been in a few times. My mom recommended me about this place. He always changes batteries within 10 minutes or less. And one time he said that my battery was just fine and that the movement was just a little bit off. He always tests batteries and wont just replace it if you ask him. He truly cares about his customers!! read more

Went in for a watch battery replacement. Super quick and cheap, and the elderly gentleman that helped me (I think he owns the place) was extremely nice! Also, this place is very reliable when it comes to shop timings, unlike many other watch repair shops I tried. read more

Great service and price for a watch battery replacement. Fast and courteous, great price, I will not go anywhere else. Alfajores cookies for John. Best local business to support. I highly recommend it! read more

They don't make businesses like this anymore! Needed a new battery in my watch as well as my husbands watch fixed and new battery. My husband told me to go to the Kenmore Jewel Box and NOT the kiosk in the mall lol So glad I found this place! The hard working man completed both watches within 20 mins and charged me $20!! What a hard working, honest man - hoping this business makes it through this pandemic as I will refer everyone here I know! read more
