From the moment i walked in the door, I felt i was in the right place! I brought a very unique and special watch that was passed down by my late father to be restored. Not only was i treated in a most professional manner, Gary took the time to listen to all my concerns and details about my watch. Just as they promised, they delivered a complete restoration. To my amazement and exceeding joy this watch is running again after 30 years! Thank you for bringing to life this special family heirloom!

I needed some work on a watch and was lucky enough to find Van Sipma's store. They were great to deal with and quickly fixed my issue. Great service and friendly people. It's no wonder to me that they've been in business for 100 plus years!

Absolutely wonderful customer service and skills in repair. My husband and I recently had our wedding rings resized and diamonds replaced. I also had a rope necklace repair and purchased a beautiful cross charm to compliment it. Our rings look brand new. Oh they cleaned them beautifully! Outstanding work! Thanks so much!

Big shout-out to the people at Van Sipma's! Very friendly and extremely helpful when my elderly mother needed her ring cut off. It required 2 cuts so it took quite awhile and I took that time to look at their beautiful jewelry designs. I would stop in again if I wanted to to purchase a special gift.
