I brought in some earrings to be soldered, to keep the moving parts from knocking together and becoming, effectively, bells hanging from my ears(very distracting!). Well I didn’t pick them up for one reason or another for maybe 3 years. YEARS. I thought this guy would have probably sold them, or given them to his wife or something, and I wouldn’t have blamed him for it. I stopped in just on the off chance he still had them and unbelievably, they were right on his desk, in the ‘out’ box. He did a good job on the solder, and the dang things were still there waiting for me. So I can say with no hesitation that you can trust this jeweler with your precious things.
