GA Chapman Company

You will absolutely love this guy, trust me on this. George was super super friendly and funny too. The pearl from my earring came off, he took care of it within only 5 minutes. I went home with mint condition earring and a bonus word of wisdom, both of which came at no cost! He told me ‘don’t worry about it. Come back and give me a real work’.

I was in need of batteries for several watches that have been neglected for quite some time. and I found George here on Unilocal.
Every review was spot on about him! He was very friendly, efficient, knowledgable, affordable and has great taste in music. My watches are working great and I am glad I now have a go to guy for watch repairs.
Please be warned he is a bit on the chatty side. However they are great stories to listen to while you wait. Satisfied customer!

You will not find a better place to bring your jewelry for repair or cleaning. I bought my girlfriend a pearl ring from Macy’s, and after a few months the pearl had come loose and detached from the setting. I took it back to Macy’s hoping they could fix it, but they mentioned all they do is send it off elsewhere for repair. They in turn gave me the info for Mr. Chapman.
I went there thinking it would be a timely and costly fix, but in just 30 minutes, Mr. Chapman was able to identify the issue (the manufacturer had used the wrong stem which was too short for the hole drilled into the pearl), fix the problem (he replaced the stem with a screw like backing you find on an earring and added adhesive, so it will never be coming off), and he even steam cleaned it. It honestly looks better than it did when I first purchased. And all of that for just $ 20! You’re crazy if you don’t go here for your next repair/​cleaning.
Mr. Chapman was extremely nice, and allowed for great conversation while waiting. He even dropped what he was doing to work on the ring. He is located in the diamond building on Washington street (7^th floor, go left from the elevators and you’ll see his name on the door). He only takes cash, but if that’s an issue there’s plenty of ATM’s close by.
He is literally a jeweler’s jeweler (department and jewelry stores send their repairs to him) so you know he creates quality work. Definitely a happy customer, and will be returning for any repairs in the future!
Thanks George!!!

Can confirm all the 5 star ratings here. George replaced the battery on my stainless steel Fossil watch and shined it for me within a 15 – 20 minute window for $ 7, while he and his colleague chatted with me. They were super friendly, quick, fair, and know what they are doing. Don’t give up if you can’t find the office/​store — take the elevator up to the 7^th floor, turn left, and keep going until you see his open door on the right side of the hallway. It’s worth it.

I went to George’s shop to get my watch fixed. My watch was my graduation present to myself after college and I had been wearing it almost constantly since May. However, even with all the adjustable watch links out of the band the watch was still very loose on my wrist. And, after a Christmas party, it stopped working completely. My dad attempted to fix it by replacing the battery with several new ones, and it still didn’t work.
I brought it to George, who stopped what he was doing to take a look at the watch. While he examined the watch band, he told my partner and I stories about his dogs, cooking, and some hobbies. During the interim, he micro-​adjusted the watch band, replaced the watch battery, and got the watch up and running again. I learned some more cooking tips, and got my watch repaired for a very modest price. George’s customer service is friendly, reliable, and fast. I will most definitely go back for my jewelry repair needs.

George is incredibly friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He fixed my pearl earrings immediately. Very happy customer!

George is a great old school guy. He was very honest and extremely fair with his pricing. I did tons of research and past customers were all very clear that George knows what he is doing. He worked extremely fast and performed flawlessly. I even waited in his very old school office chatting it up with him the whole time as if he loved my company. I brought in my wife’s expensive David Yurman ring to get it resized and he worked guys magic and did a great job and polished it well making it look better than when I originally bought it from DY. This is my new one and only jeweler as I find it hard to place my trust in anyone else to do the job right the first time with my valuables and for a very reasonable price… Actually maybe too reasonable of a price. Go see him and he will make you feel like your at the right place. His office is located on the seventh floor in the jewelry building. When you get in the elevator select the seventh floor and when you exit the elevator take a left and he is around the corner. The office might not look like your usual «polished» bright and fancy jewelry store but believe me he is a jewelry expert. FYI… He serves as the exclusive jeweler for Macy’s, other big stores, and other jewelry stores in the area.

This is a great find! George is hiding on the 7^th floor of the Jewelers Building in Boston in a small repair shop that looks like it’s been forgotten in time. He did a perfect job repairing my watch and cleaning up the inside. It looks like new now.
The price was more than honest, and Georges was very meticulous and careful — the guy is a professional. He proceeded to repair the watch 30s after I asked about it and it took 30min.

I came in during lunchtime with a broken Pandora charm and George fixed it for no cost at all! I I will definitely comeback in the future. Oh and his shop is at the 7^th floor of the Diamond and jewelry building in downtown crossing, in case you dont see it right away.

«Trust the Unilocal» George is amazing, 100% the real deal, amazing craftsman at very affordable rates.

Fantastic first experience with George today. Another jeweler, Geoclassics, where I bought my ring from, had messed up the sizing. After giving me a bunch of excuses about why they couldn’t fix it, and wanting me to wait another two weeks before discussing it again — having waited two weeks already for the wrong size — I was sent to George by a jeweler in Downtown Crossing. George pronounced all Geoclassics’ excuses to be garbage, and fixed it for me on the spot — and even said the size I wanted was wrong. He was correct. The ring now fits perfectly, cost a very fair price to have it fixed, and it was done right there. George even invited me to pull up a chair and watch. I’m one happy gal today!

Well deserved 5 stars! George is not only an amazing jeweler but he is affordable and an amazing person! He replaced one of the rubies in my ring at an amazing cost in a short time. He has fixed prongs and sized rings for me and most of the time he can fix it while you wait! Definitely a hidden gem!

Great job, enlarged my sterling silver ring, polished it up and re-​darkened the carved design within 10 minutes. Very reasonable price, unlike the guy at the street level booth. Worth venturing into the Diamond Building for better service and pricing!

Great value! For $ 60, George replaced two watch batteries and adjusted links on 3 different watches. If I had gone elsewhere, like to Fossil, it would have been easily much much more. FYI… a bit challenging to find. It’s located in the Diamond Exchange building next to DSW. You have to go to the 7^th floor (I believe) using the elevator, turn left down the hall, then go through the first door on your right. George is extremely friendly and talkative, though the tiny shop can get pretty steamy during warmer days.

A new ring of mine snapped in half after just a few days of wear. Seeing that it was new, I was heartbroken that it broke so quickly. I found George through Unilocal and after several days of consideration and reading other reviews, I decided to give it a try.
George took the ring, examined it, repaired, and polished it within half an hour. He charged me $ 15 to put the ring back together and also polished a silver bracelet of mine for free (it has been in my jewelry box for a while and was looking a little dull).
George is a wonderful jeweler and a foodie as well! We spent a good while talking about food and he showed me his collection of old coins and antique pieces.
Came for a quick repair and had a fantastic experience. This man not only is knowledgeable about his trade, but has great life experiences to learn from. I highly recommend going to him for any repairs; you get great service and a story as well.
And he confirmed my ring was real silver (got it abroad from a little vendor shop)

This guy is phenomenal. Not only did he do a beautiful job, his prices made my heart jump for joy. Plus he was incredibly nice and funny too. Four thumbs up!

I went to George this morning to have my engagement ring resized. He allowed me to watch the whole process (which was important to me since the ring is a family heirloom) and gave my ring a good cleaning as well. He is very knowledgable and does an excellent job. I would highly recommend him for any resizing or resetting of jewelry and will definitely go back for anything I need resized in the future.

I went in with a silver bracelet that was a favorite of mine. I was going to leave it until Friday, because I wasn’t sure how much it would cost. George took the bracelet, said it was not a big deal to fix, and within 15 – 20 minutes had repaired it, cleaned it (It had been sitting in my jewelry box for over 10 years, it looked VERY bad) and handed it to me at no charge. I would recommend him to anyone (especially just based on the other reviews!). He is very pleasant, does great work, and I can’t thank him enough!

What more can I say. Honesty at it’s finest (a rarity now a days) and is priced fairly. If I need anything at all here is where I’ll go If someone asks this will be the guy I send them to.

From the moment you walk into his small shop, located on the 7^th floor of the Jewelry and Diamond building just a block from Macy’s, George will invite you in with the most welcoming and professional demeanor. I was referred to him by Macy’s to have a couple of Bulova watch batteries replaced. He does much of the jewelry repairs for Macy’s, so that speaks to George’s skills. We had a wonderful chat about everything under the sun. George is a very interesting man and his level of service is what I imagine things were like in the old days when things were simpler and we were less interested in what else is happening away from us, as viewed through our phones. I got to watch the entire process an he was kind enough to walk me through everything he was doing. The two watches are ticking beautifully once again and he even polished the silver. I can’t forget to mention how affordable it was.
Thanks for a wonderful experience, George. You’ve secured my business for all jewelry-​related items for as long as I’m living in Boston.
