Wine bottle engraving We offer both machine and hand engraving. Our machine engraving is computerized, giving us a multitude of opportunities to fit every need and occasion. We have a variety of fonts to choose from and the ability to scan logos, handwriting, special symbols & designs to engrave them on the item of your choice. We specialize in engraving wine bottles. They make an excellent wedding gift or a special thank you with your company logo. We have the ability to engrave on wood, metal, leather, glass, acrylic, steel, and titanium.

We also offer hand engraving, a lost art. Our long time hand engraver lives locally and has practiced the art for many years. He does a beautiful job and completes every item in a reasonable amount of time.   TOP

Custom Jewelry Design                                   Before / After Custom Jewelry Design:
After redesign Jewelry before redesign As an established jeweler, our associates are well versed in the design aspect of jewelry. For many years, we have helped customers take older pieces and redesign them into newer more fashionable pieces. Customers can bring in stones they inherited and we can create a custom design to fit them. We have one particular piece we specialize in as well, we take a wedding band or engagement ring of a loved one who has passed and make a beautiful heart pendant that you can wear close to your heart at all times. This has always been a very popular piece.

We have two ways to work through the design process. The old fashion way: by drawing designs on paper, sketching the new pieces, or by utilizing our computerized modeling program to design a new piece right before your eyes. You get a true life visualization of the piece designed, in color. If you have a unique piece to design or multiple pieces, it is best to call and make sure our experts are available to spend time with you.   TOP

Jewelry Repair
Repairs on all jewelry are done in our shop in the back of the store. We employ one full-time jeweler and one part-time jeweler. The store owner, Mary, is also educated in jewelry repair. We do repairs from small chain solders to the most delicate of estate restorations.

  • Chain Repair - A complete cleaning, weave and solder is done to complete an invisible repair.
  • Ring Sizing - Our experts will size your finger for the perfect fit and the item will be cleaned to pristine condition for an invisible repair.
  • Stone and Diamond Setting - Each day we provide, replace, and set stones in all types of jewelry. Our experts will help you choose the best color and size to fit your piece of jewelry.
  • Antique and Estate Jewelry - We specialize in refurbishing antique and estate jewelry. Bring us your old pieces that are worn or possibly disfigured. We can help you bring them back to the original condition or make something new if you would like.
  • Earring Conversion - We convert earrings to and from screw backs, pierced, and non-pierced.
  • Pearl and Bead Restringing - We offer on sight pearl and bead restringing. Our experts will review stringing options that will best suit your piece and provide the most safety for you jewelry when it is complete. We also have a wide selection of clasps for beads and pearls if you are looking to make a change to the look of your necklace or bracelet. We also clean pearls and beads.
  • Sterling Silver Repair - We offer repairs of all sterling silver jewelry, solders, sizing, chain catches, and stones in bracelets and rings.
  • Gold and Rhodium Plating - We offer plating on gold items, as well as the now more popular Rhodium plating, which helps give a brighter finish to both 14kt white gold and sterling.

We also offer LASER WELDING capabilities for those difficult jobs.   TOP

Watch Repair
We offer watch repair on a large variety of name brand watches including Rolex, Bulova, Seiko, Omega, Gucci, Citizen, etc. We specialize in older watches and pocket watches. Our watchmaker has over 30 years of experience in watch repair and is very skilled at what he does. Estimates are always provided upon request and encouraged.

Aspects of quality watch service that are often overlooked are the proper replacement of the power cell (the battery), and the testing for water resistance and resealing of the watch.

Our family owned shop is equipped to replace the battery in nearly any type of watch on sight while you wait. We stock batteries of every available size and type and gaskets for resealing if necessary. If your watch needs to be resealed for water proofing, we also have that capability, but this process will take a day or two for testing.   TOP
