I brought my watch here, based on the Google reviews, in mid-September for a loose screw rattling around in my watch that was affecting the timing. The owner was quick to diagnose and fix the issue over 1-2 days time, for approx. $35.
A few days after picking up my watch, the face of its started turning freely as it became disconnected internally - I've never seen such a thing before, nor had any issues with the watch arisen prior the screw being loose and subsequent repair.
I took it back to the shop, where the owner immediately advised it was unrelated to his repair, and instead "must have fallen really hard", which never happened, and would be "$50 or so" to fix. After 5 years of no issues w/ this watch, its difficult to believe that it broke so easily, and internally, only a few days after a repair.

Read moreA friend recommended this small independent jeweler to me about 30 years ago . It’s kind of a word of mouth establishment . Jack, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and talented . He can repair any piece of jewelry or watch you take to him , but recently he has created some fantastic custom pieces for me .

Next up was a family stone I wanted set in a ring that looked similar to a David Yurman piece . I can’t tell you how many compliments I have received on this ring that Jack created.

He had a mold made somehow , had a custom stone shaped that looked exactly like the original and I am absolutely astounded at how much it looks like the original earring . He really likes being creative .
In short, I highly recommend Gordin Jewelers in...
Read moreBrought two watches in to have batteries replaced and got it done for 8$ a pop. The store features an older dusty 70’s decor with minimal vintage jewelry and piles of old watches haphazardly strewn about in the cases. Not much of a jewelry store as much as it is a high quality repair shop. They do a variety of work and have a skilled jeweler getting it done in a timely and professional manner. Found some very interesting watches lumped in piles in the wall case. Old Omegas and other unique pieces, worth a look if you are a collector. I was actually interested in one of the watches but unfortunately the dour attitude of the guy who was assisting me was a turn off. I made for the exit right after paying the $16 + tax. This was recommended by a close friend, but was a rather...
