Frank is wonderful! He has helped soften / smoothen the edges of my rings in the past in addition to addressing and fixing my random 'stuck earring' situations sometimes even without charging me! So grateful to have him in our neck of the woods. Truly very good at what he does!

Love love love my new piece! I took in a necklace that used to by my moms and had it redesigned into something more fitting to my liking. I cannot be any more happy with the finished product done by frank! I recommend Frank over any other jewelers. Another place I went to quoted me around $800 which is 4x more than how much Frank did it for.
