Silver
Does anyone repair or work with silver anymore?
The answer to this often asked question is, "Yes
we work with all silver from inlay pieces, Yurman and Lagos pieces to
your grandmother's antique server set." We wouldn't be a full service
store if we didn't work on anything and everything in the jewelry industry.
Here at Gem Classics we take the time to explain exactly what you need
done to each piece and you can count on us to do an excellent and professional
job for you. From missing inlay coral in a custom made silver bangle,
cracks in a Celtic woven band to your squash blossom necklace being refurbished
we can handle it. On this site view our sample photos of silver repairs
done by us.

pieces. If your shank is cracked, you need your wedding set put together
or a new head to hold your precious stone, not a problem. We use a process
called fussing which bonds the platinum back together to its original

WATCH REPAIR
Watch-a-Mean its Not My Battery?
Its mid day, you're at work (thinking about home) and a
quick glance at your watch reveals that it's been 12:49 pm for quite some
time now... several hours in fact. Time has stopped... leaving you to toil
at work for all eternity, trapped somewhere in between post-lunch indigestion
and the late afternoon rush to catch up on the day's work... This is good
science fiction material, but in reality, you're probably in need of new
watch battery.
Whew, That was a close one.
In most cases, a trip to Gem Classics your local jeweler
will solve the problem with a fresh battery, installed while you wait.
Occasionally, however, your repairperson will return with your watch and
inform you that your battery is still good and has plenty of power. Then
informs you there is some other problem, which is keeping your watch from
running (or running on time). Most of these watch repairs call for a "C.O.A." (Clean,
oil, and adjustment/analysis), which is an overhaul on the movement. All
internal parts are removed, cleaned, inspected, and lubricated. This service
usually solves the problem, and has a one -year warranty on the workmanship.
Regardless of the repair, Gem Classics is well -equipped with the knowledge
and experience to handle your watch repair needs. Bonded and insured, with
over 30 years experience, our watch technicians are trained in all aspects
of watch repair - including (but not limited to) mechanical, accutron, quartz
and antique watches. Major repairs including COA's are backed by a one-year
warranty, and minor repairs are covered by a ninety days warrantee; contingent
upon seeing no signs of abuse, or water damage, etc.
All estimates are free-of-charge, and typical turnaround
time for a watch repair is two to four weeks. (Still faster than the manufacturer!)
Finally, just a reminder that regularly scheduled maintenance is necessary
to avoid costly repairs, and essential to the long life of your timepiece
