C M VALENTINE GOLDSMITH-GEMOLOGIST

Did an excellent job of helping determine a design that would show off the beauty of the diamonds.

The two repairs were completed within a week but the restringing was never done. After two months and after calling the jeweler on repeated occasions, I finally picked up my necklace which was still not restrung. During each phone call I was given another excuse about the re-stringer not being available but then I was promised that he would restring the necklace himself. After two more phone calls separated by another two weeks, nothing was done. After two months I finally decided to pick up the necklace because he wasn't going to restring it. Aside from terrible lack of communication, none of the promises were kept.

He was pleasant and friendly, and I was delighted that he was able to fix the necklace so quickly while I waited.

THIS IS A RETURN TRIP TO HAVE MR. VALENTINE REPAIR JEWELRY. I WAS SURPRISED THAT MR. VALENTINE REMEMBERED MY NAME AND PROFESSION. WE SHOWED MR. VALENTINE A CLASP THAT NEEDED REPAIR AND LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF CLASP OPTIONS IN A RATHER LARGE BOOK. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT WE USE A MORE DURABLE CLASP. THE PRICE FOR THE NECKLACE REPAIR IS EXTREMELY REASONABLE AND THE WORK IS ALWAYS EXCEPTIONAL. THIS GENTLEMAN ALSO HAS A SHOWCASE WITH HIS ORIGINAL DESIGNS. IF YOU USE MR. VALENTINE, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. HIS KINDNESS, COURTESY, AND EXCELLENT WORK ARE MR. VALENTINE'S SELLING POINTS.

VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, TOOK A LOT OF TIME TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO MODERNIZE THE ANTIQUE EARRINGS AND MAINTAIN THEIR VALUE AND CHARM. EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS FOR DESIGNS TO MODERNIZE OTHER PIECES OF ANTIQUE JEWELRY AND MAINTAIN VALUE AND CHARM.

MR. VALENTINE IS A SOLE PROPRIETOR, AND AN ARTIST. AS YOU ENTER HIS SMALL SHOWROOM, ONE CAN SEE EXAMPLES OF HIS CRAFTSMANSHIP. WE DUMPED ALL OF MY DAUGHTER'S JEWELRY REPAIRS ON HIS COUNTER AND HE VERY PATIENTLY WENT THROUGH ALL OF HER REPAIRS WITH COMMENTS ON WHY THE JEWELRY DON'T HOLD UP, AND HOW EACH WOULD BE REPAIRED. I WAS EXPECTING A RATHER HIGH PRICE TO BE QUOTED, BUT WITH ALL OF THE REPAIRS, IT WAS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS THAT WERE MADE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO REFER OTHERS TO MR. VALENTINE, AND WILL USE HIM AGAIN FOR FUTURE REPAIRS AS WELL. THANK YOU, ANGIE'S LIST, FOR TELLING US ABOUT HIM!

SELLS, CREATES AND REPAIRS FINE JEWELRY. EXCELLENT WORK, VERY TRUSTWORTHY, DETAILED AND QUALITY CONSCIOUS. PRICE IS EXTREMELY REASONABLE, HALF OF WHAT THE 'BIG GUYS' CHARGE AND CRAFTMANSHIP WAS BETTER. DOES ALL HIS OWN WORK, DOES NOT SHIP YOUR JEWELRY OUT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DO WORK. SMALL, ONE-MAN SHOP. WOULD DEFINITELY USE AGAIN. ONLY ISSUE WAS IT TOOK 3 DAYS LONGER TO COMPLETE JOB THAN PROMISED. WAS WORTH THE WAIT AND NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME. IF YOU'RE IN A HURRY, I SUGGEST YOU TELL HIM UP FRONT TIMELINESS IS CRITICAL.
