TJ's Fine Jewelry & Repair — Local services in Carbondale

I strongly encourage nobody to go to the store! They are thieves! They are crooked thieves! I went in to have some gold valued because I was thinking of selling it. First of all they told me that my wedding ring was fake, I have papers on that ring. Like I said thieves. Second owner of the store ask me if he could cut one band to check to see if it was real I said yes then he went ahead and started clipping all of my jewelry. He gave me a price that he was willing to pay for my jewelry, I asked him if he would be paying me for the diamonds that were set in these gold bands. He said no but I can take them out for you with a charge a $5, I said okay. We then got to another ring that had diamonds in it and I asked him to take the diamonds out of that as well. He looked up at me pushed all of my jewelry that he had ruined back at me and said I don't want to purchase this jewelry anymore. I asked him why, he told me because I was picking and choosing through my jewelry about what I wanted to sell and I kept changing things. He said he has more important things to do at the moment. I replied I have asked you twice now if I am taking up too much of your time, and I was being sincere. Each time he told me no there wasn't a single soul in the store at this time. So I walked out of that store with defaced jewelry from being cut bent and burnt with acid. He ruined all of my jewelry and then refused to purchase it! I hope that this man gets what he deserves! And I would highly advise everyone to ban TJ's Fine Jewelry because they are all...

If I could give these guys more than 5 stars I would. TJ and Teresa have been helpful,patient and informative. They helped me while I was having to make some hard decisions at a very difficult time and they were amazing through it all. TJ even took an idea I had for a memory ring for my mother in law (whom I loved dearly) and my mom and made me a ring. He used an old bent up dirty ring my late husband and I had bought for his mom years ago and he provided the stones and had it sized up to fit me. For all of this work plus sharing his knowledge and time with me he wanted nothing. Wasn't even going to charge me for the memory ring!!! I insisted and he charged less than 100 dollars which came out of the jewelry he bought from me. I was also able to keep quite a few pieces more than I thought I was going to be able to because of the price he paid for what he took. And he had no idea what I needed or wanted when I walked in there. On the way out to my car I had a tear in my eye. It is nice to know that there are still some kind people in the world. Who else would do that for a complete stranger? Noone that I've ever met. So get your butts on over there and support a local business. I don't care if you just need a chain repair. These are some good down home people that run an honest business. Also they have financing if...

I took 7 watches and 1 pocket watch to TJ’s. 2 watches were cheap knockoffs. I asked them to repair any if needed, replace batteries and fix the clasp on one. Paid them $224 up front, that was a discount they said. One of the cheap ones needed the clasp repaired, that was not done. So, it works, but I cannot wear it. The other cheap one got a new battery but it is not working. One of my Invictas now has a warped back and he apologized but said I would have to send it back to Invicta. The Sturhling is not working at all. He didn’t charge me for the batteries on these two and refunded me $26. The Bulova got a new battery, but only works part of the time. The Swiss Army wrist and pocket watches, and a second Invicta, got new batteries and seem to be working fine. While he apologized and gave me back the money for two batteries I didn’t get, $200 seems to be too much for the 6 remaining watches, half of which still don’t work or cannot be worn. I am not impressed and will...
