Seamless resizing of my ring
Stephanie N.

TLDR; Came back here to have a ring that I bought elsewhere resized (made smaller), and had the same fantastic experience I had 7 years ago. The gentleman at the front who helped me was extremely understanding, professional and knowledgeable, and he was able to quickly and confidently resize me and help me understand some next steps (1 week for their jeweler to resize the ring, which resizing process I wanted and how that might change the finish). He was also very clear about explaining how we would select the right size for me (considering how my hands might change in different temperatures, that it would not slip past the knuckle, etc). Still, I realized as I was a block away after leaving the store that I wanted to take one more look at another size and I really wanted to be 100% sure before I committed. I came back 5 min later and he was completely understanding about my trying some different sizes again and making sure I had all the information to make the right choice, letting me make the decision I felt most comfortable with. After getting to re-try the fit, I ended up feeling confident that the size he had originally selected was the right fit for me. I came back a week later and everything went smoothly when I picked up the resized ring (again, a pleasant experience). It's been a month now, and I've been so happy with the new fit! I'm very grateful that they were able to provide me with such a pleasant experience when dealing with jewelry that has so much sentimental value to me, and I can't recommend them enough.

Tiny, easy to miss but lovely shop on Newbury selling gorgeous antique jewelry. If there are more than 3 or 4 people in here things get tight but it's well worth stopping in if you're like me and go gaga over estate pieces. You'll find luscious rings, brooches, necklaces and the like harking back to a variety of glorious eras. My engagement ring belonged to my husband's great-grandmother. I learned more about it here finding out that it's what's called an Old Mine cut diamond favored in 18th and early 19th century Georgian and Victorian styled rings. Indeed if someone coveted an antique engagement ring this would be a place to look. But there is plenty for anyone searching for something antique, beautiful and with a gravitas not obtained in lots of newer pieces. The inventory does change so repeat visits always turn up surprises. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable and the prices seem fair.

So after many years of enjoying my beautiful ring, it needed a minor repair, and so I contacted Kelly @ Small Pleasures for advice on best next steps. She is the ultimate professional, knowledgeable, and really cares. Kelly arranged for my ring to be repaired and when it came back not up to her standards, she immediately contacted me informing me it would be a little longer and sent it back out to be fixed to her standards! I can honestly say I've never had a better retail experience from beginning to end- I can't thank Kelly & Small Pleasures enough.

“You'd think that an antique jewelry shop on Newbury Street would be pretty stuffy, but that was NOT the case for this girl.”

Brought in a ring for resizing. It was completed earlier than promised and fits perfectly. It's…read morenice having a professional jewelry store right in the city.

I brought in my antique engagement ring that was incorrectly resized by a previous jeweler…read moreresulting in an oval shank. I had concerns about the ring spinning despite resizing. Gary inspected the ring in great detail and made a recommendation to remove some of the shank and rebuild it, as well as to place tension springs to prevent spinning and slipping. He took his time to measure my finger for the optimal fit. I was told by another jeweler that all of my prongs needed replacement and I wanted a second opinion. Gary again took his time to inspect all the prongs and reassured me that they didn't need replacement. I was very glad for his honesty. The next business day, Gary fixed the ring in 3-4 hours and it came out beautifully. I was so nervous previously to entrust someone with my ring, but I felt at ease. Gary offered that I stay and watch the entire process. He told me to inspect my gemstone carefully after his job was complete as general good practice after having my jewelry worked on! I am so happy with the end result and strongly recommend this jeweler. The key factors that impressed me most were honesty, trustworthiness, attention to detail, patience, mastery of his craft, and sharing of knowledge/providing an understandable rationale for his decision-making. I will absolutely be returning for intermittent ring checks!
