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. :)

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.

Since both rings were my mom's and fairly old, I didn't want to take the chance of losing any of the stones I left the rings after getting the price to repair them.

The repair work is fabulous. My rings look better than ever. I am sure he did more work than he charged me for! Honest folks who do fabulous work. I will definitely shop here in the future

I'd taken them to another jeweler previously and had a bad experience, so I was hesitant about anyone working on the ring. However, I had an excellent experience with them.

I would recommend Jewelry Works to anyone in need of jewelry sizing or repair.

I paid $15 for a battery replacement and now I must buy a new watch for $45 If you aren't bored already then read on. Honest review...They DO NOT tell you they DO NOT guarantee water resistance until AFTER you pay. The staff are very nice. However, I paid $15 for a battery replacement and they left me with a watch that no longer works. This is a $45 timex ironman. Not hard to replace .... However, the people that worked on my watch didn't do a good job. They were also given a chance to fix the problem and they further damaged the watch. The first mistake was when a younger woman replaced my watch battery and didn't close it properly. when I wore it the following day it was not sealed properly and it took on water inside the case. Fast forward when I was able to bring my watch back to have it corrected.... Another very nice woman came to assist me. However ‍ they made a Second mistake........ They vacuumed out the water and put the case back together. However, they must have removed pieces attached to the buttons as now the light buttons don't work and the backlight doesn't work. If I could do things over I would have NOT brought my watch here. I wish I had time to bring my watch back but I will no longer be in Gainesville. So, I am cutting my losses and buying a new watch.

Amazing service when I needed a Omega watch sized for a graduation gift that was purchased from…read moreanother store not in Gainesville. 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 called a few watch / jewelry stores in Gainesville via google search for option. The first two were a disappointment. 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!

The IDC in Gainesville Florida is located in a new shopping center that assesses a 5% special tax on all sales. 5% on several thousand dollars makes their goods overpriced compared with everyone else in town.
