Mercedes is now my “forever”Jeweler. By that, I mean I will wait to have my repairs and cleanings done when I come back to PBC, instead of up North. I am a part time resident in FL, but Mercedes Jeweler is going to be my Jeweler from here on out.
I was referred by a friend, and I’m so glad I finally found a jeweler I can trust in PBC.
I have a lot of turquoise and other silver. I’ve had a several rings cleaned, a few repairs on the bales and closures on silver necklaces, and also a very tricky, ornate silver bracelet that needed a new catch soldered and some of the intricate metal work was bent or pinched. They nailed it. I took that highly sentimental piece to- and paid - three different jewelers who never got it right.
I have badly arthritic hands, and they came up with a handy fix that alleviates my having to work with a standard necklace catch.

There’s a lot of other jewelers out there but none that trusted to leave all my gold with, and none that I had faith in knowing when I came back the job would be done correctly! Amaru is great and refuses to let anything less that what you expect done to leave the shop without your complete satisfaction. They take pride in what they do here, and I’ve been coming to them since I been in high school. I thank you guys again for making me another outstanding...
Read moreI cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful Amaru is - both as a jeweler and a very patient, very understanding gentleman. He designed an engagement ring for me using the stones from my grandmother's ring and the result is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. He never rushed me through the collaborative design process and, without exaggeration, spent over four hours with me over three separate visits to make sure the ring was exactly what I envisioned. It is more, it is perfect, and I am so grateful to him for creating (yes, handmade) a gorgeous custom ring that allows me to wear my grandparents' love story every day....
