The attention paid to each and every customer, including a very minor one such as I, is exemplary. Recently I arrived to pick up a small repair item but the gentleman who would normally have served me was otherwise occupied. Noticing that I was left standing and waiting, the owner of the store personally and most graciously assisted me himself, an extraordinary gesture. Then I escorted a friend to the second floor tableware department where she wanted to inspect various pieces comprising a certain pattern of dinnerware.

They were two full ring sizes too large for me, more than 80 years old, and extremely worn as my great grandmother wore them every day for over 70 years. Another jeweler in another state had even said that they wouldn't be able to do anything with them because they were too worn down.

They handled my family heirloom with the utmost care and I cannot recommend their services...
