Got the absolute loveliest pair of earrings from here today! The service was friendly, attentive, and kind! You'll need to take the elevator to the 5th floor but it's definitely worth the short commute! Plan on coming back next time I'm in town!

First time visiting this jeweler to shorten two necklaces right before a big trip. Susan took care of me and was warm and efficient. She had my items ready within an hour's time! Also very reasonably priced. Thank you! :-

They replaced a battery for me at a great price but two days later I noticed that there was moisture building up on the glass in front. I looked at the back of my watch and noticed that the back wasn't placed back properly. Replacing a battery is the most basic repair.

Very good store! I have a missing buckle for my watch while traveling. And the lady in the store just find a similar one to me and fix it, with no fee charges. I really thank them for help and definitely will recommend other people to stop by at this store. I should know this store since this has been my fourth year living in DC. I am so lucky that I decided to go today.

Went in here to get my watch repaired. All the sudden it just stopped working though I had gotten the battery replaced months before. I stepped in and someone was immediately there to help me. He popped it open, found the loose item, put it all back in place, and returned it to me within a minute for no charge. Everyone was very kind in the shop, and the watch is back and working like new!
