Today, I walked into Davidson's and was greeted by the friendly staff in a family run jewelry store with a good assortment of jewelry and unrivaled customer service.
I recently moved from Dayton to the Cincy area and have been looking for a jeweler for watch battery replacement, jewelry repair and an occasional bauble for my girl, when the mood strikes me or I'm in trouble ;-)
I was promptly waited upon and explained that I needed a new battery in my Hamilton watch and to have my fiance's engagement ring cleaned before our New Year's Eve wedding. I handed them both items and they were quickly inspected and agreed on the condition.
In the time that it took for me to apologize for the short notice on both items, my watch was handed back to me with a new battery! The battery replacement was just $18, less than a fourth of what Jared's charged me ($80) just a year earlier! And in the case of Jared's, the watch battery which typically last 3-4 years, was already dead!
My fiancé's ring was returned to me sparkling like new and they cleaned it for free!
JAREDS JEWELRY STORY: Prior to my gal, who used to live in Lebanon, recommending Davidson's Jewelry, I've been doing business with Jareds, which was less than satisfactory and ridiculously expensive even for a watch battery replacement ($80).
In my last dealing with Jareds they also broke the stem of my Hamilton watch and charged me an additional $104 to have it replaced, claiming it was bent when it arrived. Considering the fact that the Jared's sales rep and I both inspected the watch before they accepted it, this was something I should not have been charged for. Its a prized watch that stays in its case and is worn rarely, so I knew its condition before handing it over for a simple battery...

I put money aside thinking it would be a pretty big expense and to my surprise it wasn’t anywhere near what I thought it would be! I also asked them if they could clean my engagement ring that I got from Kay- our experience there has been awful so I would rather pay somewhere else. They offered to clean it while I wait, or also suggested that I could get it redipped and replated to make it look sparkling new again. I decided to do that- and holy cow!! I picked both rings up today and the results are amazing. My husband even said my engagement ring looks better now than what it did when he bought it from Kay. Thank you so much for your incredible prices and even...
Read moreThey did a fantastic job with my St. Michael medallion and rope chain. After close to 25 years of wearing it everyday since I graduated from the police academy the clasp broke. We called and they guaranteed to fix it the same day! We dropped it off in the morning and it was ready just after lunch!! I was so very excited and impressed! Thank you for helping and your quick turnaround!! I am glad that there are places where they say their word is true and it is truly...
