The professionalism I encountered today was awesome. I wanted to get a few peices of Jewlery I had inheretied appraised for Resale Worth. The information I received was professionali and ethical! I felt at ease and as if he wanted to protect my interests as well as his. Unfortunately, there were no time slots available today, or I would not have hesitated to set up an appointment. I will happily come back next time I have a Jewlery related need.
Description of Work: First time customer, called and asked questions about appraisal process.

Mr. Saxon did an excellent job - very respectful and enthusiastic about the history of the ring, and did a great job of returning the ring to what it probably looked like almost 100 years ago. I got several options and good information about what the work would entail, and it was finished in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Saxon's.
Description of Work: I had a family ring with some worn down parts, including some engraving and a loose stone, that I wanted restored and reset for my now-fiancée.

Ring looks FANTASTIC.......Workmanship is beyond our expectations.......Saxon is a Jewelers' Jeweler
Description of Work: My wife and I took her 30+ year old wedding ring to Saxon Jewelers for repair of a worn band. Michael Saxon checked the ring setting and diamonds, showing us additional concerns/problems with the old ring. After spending a considerable amount of time with us, learning what we were looking to accomplish, Mr. Saxon proposed various options. Please note at no time did Michael "push" to accept any option. My wife and I finally opted for Michael to reconstruct the wedding ring. The reconstruction plans were detailed to us by Michael. Two weeks later the ring was ready. The ring looks fantastic, my wife and I are pleased beyond words with the ring. Michael Saxon is the ONLY Jeweler I will ever go to in the future for NEW jewelry or Jewelry repair. I am only sorry that I did not know of Saxon Jewelers until recently......I will never waste my time on any of the "mall' jewelers again......with their shoddy workmanship and poor customer care.

I own an entry level luxury watch that I dropped on a tile floor and shattered the crystal. I wanted to have it replaced. Saxon completed the repair, and also cleaned the watch to insure it was fully operational. Overall, the communication was great, and he kept the watch for some extra time to make sure it was fully running. I appreciated the attention to detail.

Mr Saxon was wonderful! I had asked a previous master jeweler about resizing my wedding ring and was told it too challenging to resize such a complex, multimetal woven band. Mr. Saxon got back to me quickly, set up an appointment and immediately confirmed that he would be able to fix it. When I got it back it was perfect! Beautiful work, seamlessly completed and I will be proud to wear it

Michael did what we needed in a single day: cleaned, appraised, and repaired Mom's diamond engagement/wedding ring and repaired another. When we presented Mom's ring, Michael let us look through the loupe at the ring's beauty (e.g., showing us the hand-engraving we didn't know existed) and small flaws in the work that make it unique. Very patient and comfortable with all our questions. When we went to pick up the rings, they were so lovely. Cannot rate his pricing as I've never before done jewelry appraising; we went with him vs. shopping around based on Angie's reports, nearness to home, and his pleasant business manner..

Michael was wonderful. My engagement ring was actually somewhat lopsided (not made by Saxon), so the custom band he created had to be carefully made so it would fit. It fits perfectly. He also recommended a small inlay of diamonds that complement the engagement ring perfectly. My husband's ring is very nice (combination of metals) and has worn very well. I would absolutely use him again.

I went to the shop and was treated with great care by the owner/jewelry designer/gemologist Michael Saxon. He was credentialed and has much experience with vintage and newer jewelry. He rated all of the gems and setting, cleaned and polished them and gave a very detailed written appraisal for every item, with photos. The work that he performed was much more accurate and thorough than the other appraisers that I used. He explained every item, and detailed the cost of repairs. Would definitely trust him to do the repairs and plan to do so.

Couldn?t have been better. Mike carefully explained what needed to be done for both items and the cost of each repair. He estimated about a week to complete the work, but called me only 2 workdays later to say it was done. The only slightly difficult part was finding the location as the local directions within the business park are not too good. Mike said he has considered putting a better map on his site and that would be a good idea.

After shopping several jewelers, I settled on Saxon due to his capabilities (an in house work facility), plan of action and his willingness to listen. Michael replaced the original.yellow gold prongs with white gold (stronger alloy) which did not degrade the appearance at all, remounted the diamond a bit higher and cleaned & polished everything so it dazzled more than ever! All under his estimate and within his predicted time. We plan on having him work on some more pieces for us in the near future.
