Our in-house jewelers are ready to help with your jewelry repair needs. We can assist with services ranging from changing watch batteries to custom jewelry design.

Different repairs can take different lengths of time.  Batteries can take just a few minutes while a full watch service can take up to a month.  Similarly, some jewelry repairs may be completed while you wait while others could take more time. Speak to a sales representative to get more details on how long your repair will take.

We recommend bringing your jewelry in every 6 months for a cleaning and to have the stones checked for tightness. Luxury watches can go 3 to 5 years between services.
