Brought in several pieces of jewelry for repair. They actually look better than they did brand new! Thank you!

Ran in at 5:55 not realizing it was so close to their closing time. My ring had gotten out of round and was curious if it was fixable. Not only did they have it done in less than 5 minutes, but they did it free of charge. It was so fast that I didn't catch their names but the two ladies were the sweetest. Thank you so much!
