If you need jewelry appraised and/or have a jewelry stash of questionable valuable, Reynolds and Co. Jewelers is the place to go! I spoke to twelve stores who review and appraise jewelry in the central Florida area and decided on Reynolds and Co. due to their substantial experience with all types of jewelry, having a graduate gemologist onsite and very reasonable rates.
Owner David spent a significant amount of time with us reviewing our jewelry. David provided insights on each piece and was very patient answering our many questions. At our request David provided candid recommendations and was never pushy to make a sale or steer us in a disadvantageous direction. Susan expertly performed appraisals on a number of pieces generating a document containing pictures, detailed information and a value assessment of each. Susan’s highly comprehensive analysis identified unknown information on a few of the pieces, ironically never noted in previous appraisals from other stores. Reynolds and Co. also sized two rings (expertly matching an intricate design so one could never tell!) and made a highly creative suggestion combining parts from two of our pieces with exceptional results.
Thank you David and Susan, you...
Read moreI have never been so insulted in my life. The jeweler in this store was very unprofessional. He was trying to charge me over $900 dollars for a ring which had 8.2grams of 14kt gold. He insisted that the price was high due to the current price of gold which at the time was $1288.99 per ounce. Now if you know anything about gold you know that $1288.99 per troy ounce is for the price of 24kt gold, 14kt gold is really only 58% gold which would make the value of the gold in the ring worth only $198.25 now I understand there is some artistical value I the piece so I figured in another $200 since it was a plain ring just gold minimal work just a band with brushed gold middle and edges were polished I even thought $200 on top of the gold price was too much. But I made my offer of $400 I really only wanted to pay $350 but i thought let me throw him this number. When I made the offer he asked me to leave the store that I was insulting him with that number. What he really meant was "leave the store I can't rip you off". I was in shock as this has never happened to me before. Bad bad bad way to do business my friend. So bottom line be prepared to pay a almost a %500 Mark up which is a straight rip off. Please be a...
Read moreI brought a Omega Seamaster DeVille watch I'd inherited from my father in for repair. The watch is probably 50 years old and was not keeping time. Another jeweler had tried to fix it but given up. I was quoted $900+ for the repair at Reynolds. Ouch. Had it not been a keepsake I wouldn't have spent the money.
The repair took longer than I expected and there were some hiccups after I got the watch back but Dave was very patient and diligent, taking the watch back and ultimately restoring it to its original working order. The watch is keeping perfect time and will be a favored keepsake in my family for...
