M & J Jewelers

The guys there are attentive and kind, with some cool stories to share. It’s a watch shop trip to savor!

Removed links from my watch as soon as I walked in. Very nice guy and I will be back with all of my jewelry repairs!

Out and out joke of a shop. Said watch was fixed after never receiving estimate only to find out it was never looked at let alone fixed. Went back three times for refund and was told no refund with attitude. $ 45. Unbelievable.
Calling BBB and Arlington Co.

M&J Jewelers is a small jewelry shop on the second floor of the Rosslyn Metro Mall. The owner is very nice and quick and can fix small repairs with ease. However, their jewelry and watch selection is outdated.
My experience:
I have a small brown Casio watch that I wanted to salvage. First, we tried changing the watch bands, but the store only had thick bands. My watch is pretty thin. Also, the watch bands looked like they were purchased in the 70s. Second, we tried to add a strap loop so the band can be secure, but the selection of strap loops were few, and the color was off. The owner fixed it a few months ago, and his repair has broken, so I need to get it repaired again.
You should come here for small repairs. The owner is extremely friendly and warm, and will repair it quickly (sometimes, on the spot!). However, if you’re picky like me, or have a more serious repair, I suggest going somewhere else.

I needed a necklace link fixed and found this place based on Unilocal reviews. I walk in, show the necklace, and the man has it fixed within 5 minutes. Charged me $ 3.

A trustworthy place.
Hani is extremely friendly and personable. He is very honest and hard-​working. He strikes me as a very likable individual who is goodhearted.
I brought 3 watches to Hani to repair. One Rolex, one Cartier for a battery and a gold Hublot. Hani was always nice and patient with me. My wrist is an odd size so he had to refit some of my links to custom fit me. He was able to replace the battery in my Cartier for a reasonable price when other people tried to overcharge me.
The shop is small and filled with all kinds of interesting jewelry. A great little spot if you need a last-​minute gift.

Very friendly and efficient! I brought in 4 watches for simple repair and was out in 15 minutes.

I walked in after work, around 4:00pm. There were a few people waiting but he worked very quickly. I was out of there in no time. Gave me excellent advice on how to keep my watch in excellent condition. Kind hearted. However, when it was time to pay, he charged me $ 20 more than previous guest. Can’t tell you if his reasoning was the truth or a lie. I think he could have told upfront if there was going to be a price difference.

I can’t recommend M&J and Hani highly enough. I needed a new watch battery, and in less than five minutes he was done and I was on my way. Incredibly inexpensive, too! Way less expensive than the jewelry stores at the Pentagon City mall (M&J was about a third as expensive as the shop at the mall for a battery replacement).

I love Hani! He is patient, good hearted, and not trying to make a quick buck. I had a setting reset in another setting and he gave me an unbeatable price compared to everyone else. Trust this guy!

I found this place when I was looking for somewhere to get a couple of links taken out of my watch bracelet. I didn’t feel like going to one of the big box jewelry stores, as they always seem very pretentious when you bring something in that you didn’t buy there. I also didn’t feel like I could trust one of the kiosks in the mail, as they screwed up a water tight seal on one of my watches in the past.
Enter M & J Jewelers…
Hani was incredibly kind as he worked swiftly and carefully to remove the couple of links from my watch. His prices were very reasonable and his store has a interesting and unique collection of watches and jewelry to gaze at. Hani has enormous attention to detail, and I felt completely comfortable turning over my cherished watch to him.
Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I’m extremely happy I decided to stray from the big box jewelry stores and give this place a try.

This guy is great! Walked in at lunch on a busy Friday, and waited two minutes as he not only replaced the battery in an expensive watch, but showed me features on the watch I did not know existed. Highly recommend!

I came here to get my watch band adjusted because it was too long. Hani Moula, the owner, provided me with excellent customer service and a fair price. He is friendly, knowledgeable and works quickly and carefully. I was so pleased that I came back with other watches to replace the batteries. I will be returning again with some jewelry that I need to repair. I highly recommend this establishment.

I went to these guys with a watch that had a broken hand. I had gone to other watch repair shops only to get quotes that were a little to high for my taste.
I happened to be in the mall, wearing my broken watch and give them a try. These guys charged 50% less than the others and fixed it in under an hour! The others wanted my watch for several days.
I highly recommend them!

I wanted to get a small gift for my wife, and M&J Jewelers was the perfect place to go. Despite the small size of the shop, they have a nice selection of vintage and modern jewelry. And the owner is extremely friendly and helpful. I got a necklace and two pairs of earrings for $ 80, all of which my wife loved. All this, and at walking distance from my office. Excellent find!

I chanced upon this in the small shop in the mall right above the Rosslyn metro to replace the battery in my watch after seeing some positive reviews on Unilocal.I came away highly impressed: the very courteous owner took great care of my watch and made the intricate battery replacement in front of me. A true professional, he explained each step of what he was doing and was done in good time.
And to add to his great service his price was less than half of what the watch repair shop outside the Pentagon City metro wanted!

I’ve now gone to M&J Jewelers 4 times for watch repairs and for battery replacements. Each time I am extremely impressed by the craftsmanship, care, and great service by the owner of the shop, Hani.
As well, one cannot beat his prices!!!
I’ve gone to other watch battery stores in DC and they charge $ 80 – 90 for a watch battery to be changed. (See guy in shop in Union Station near metro!). A battery from Hani will be a good fair price! Bet on it!

I took a bracelet there to have it restrung/​fixed after seeing other Unilocal reviews. I went back on the day they said it would be ready at about noon and they said it was not ready yet, that I should come back after 2pm.
I returned 2 days later to get my bracelet, and it was not fixed as I had asked. I told them I wanted it on gold wire, but they used some grey wire that was too conspicuous for my tastes. I was frustrated, because they said it would take extra time to get the wire and that’s why they needed extra time k to fix it. Also, I had asked them to put extra wire on the ends at the knots because I was afraid it would be snug. They failed to do this, so now the bracelet is too small to wear. When I complained, the employee was dismissive of my concerns. He said there was nothing he could do. Now I have a bracelet that is too small to wear that does not look good. An utter waste of $ 15.
I am now going to take my bracelet to another jeweler to have fixed since these men were not helpful.

great little store.
They don’t have a lot of selection, I really just went for watch battery replacement.
The gentleman was fast and really tries to do right by his customers.

I saw a homemade sign for this shop coming out of the Rosslyn Metro station. It is near my work so I thought I would see if they could fix my watch. I had gotten a new battery but it still didn’t work. I was a little worried because of the sign, but thought I would give it a try. I’m so glad I did!
They were really nice and thorough. Turns out the people who had replaced the battery left a little residue that blocked the current. He cleaned the whole thing, checked it and set the time and date in only a few minutes. He also explained it all to me and complimented my watch choice. The whole encounter only took a few minutes. He then asked if I would mind if he charged me $ 5 for the cleaning and fixing because he thought that would be fair, but if I didn’t agree we could talk about it.
I felt that was more than reasonable for fixing it but appreciated his willingness to discuss it as I can see how others would disagree.
They also do jewelry repair on Thursdays or Fridays. I have several clasps I have been meaning to repair and now I’ve found the place! They are pleasant, professional, quick and fair priced– can’t ask for much more.
