Called and asked if they could buff out and polish my Tiffany men's Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet. They told me to come over and they did it while I waited. It looks like the day I walked of of the Tiffany store when I bought it. Great People Great Service.

I've been hit hard by the COVID circumstances and was looking for a place that would give me a fair price for my collection of sterling flatware. After much searching, I came across Michele's. My communications with them were prompt, friendly and accurate. They sent me an estimate which met with my expectations. I followed their directions and shipped my items to them. They sent me a check promptly at the price they quoted me, and even reimbursed me for shipping and insurance. I aprreciated their help during a difficult time and highly recommend working with them.
