The owner worked patiently with me to get my idea just right. Showed me my original engagement diamond under a magnifier so I could recognize and identify it when the work was done. All estimates and all the work were done on the premises so my jewelry never had to leave the store. Finished pieces were completed ahead of schedule. When I picked them up he again showed me both diamonds to confirm I could identify my original and see the new one. He especially took great care in filling in the old engagement band and matching the finish to my wedding band. His original price was a few dollars more than a competitor's so he came down a bit. I decided to go with him even with the slight price difference because he was so kind and recommended by other customers. He ended up coming down a bit in the end. He he was as happy as I was with the finished work. He obviously takes great pride in his craft.

We have shopped at Shammas for many years for purchases of jewelry, rings, repairs, appraisals and watch batteries. Fred Shammas is the ultimate professional and I trust him implicitly. He recently designed a pendant for my children to give to me as a gift in recognition of our 40th wedding anniversary. My husband passed away in January so this custom made piece holds great sentimental value for me. He designed the pendant using my husband's wedding band, and my original wedding band and engagement ring all as a surprise for me. I am thrilled with the finished necklace. Fred is also a very kind and caring man. There is a reason that he has been in business for so many years with so many repeat customers whom he knows by name. Fred's daughter, Christine, has worked in the store for a number of years learning the business from her dad. She too is wonderful to work with as she is very knowledgeable about all aspects of jewelry. She was extremely helpful in helping to select the proper chain for the pendant. Christine, following in her father's footsteps, thus insurs Shammas Jewelers will continue to serve our area for many years to come. I did not choose to list a cost for the service as the piece is priceless.

They were excellent and upfront.

I was recently widowed and wanted to have my wedding, engagement and anniversary rings redesigned into one ring. I had an idea of what I wanted and worked with the designer to come up with the design, similar to a ring they had on display. The ring has one central 1 caret diamond and 16 smaller diamonds around it. THe owner noticed I was wearer my husband's wedding ring on a gold chain and he said he could redesign that to a floating heart. I left the rings with them and waited to hear the cost. Originally they thought they could do the design for about $800 but a got a call a few days later that the work needed to put the ring together would necessitate the cost being closer to $1400 with $85 for the floating heart design. I decided to go ahead and have the rings designed. They did a wonderful job with both rings and I love how they look. I've gotten many compliments on both and would definitely go back to buy, repair or redesign jewelry again. The only negative I can say is that both times I went in with an appointment scheduled, I had to wait quite a bit before I could be helped. It is a family business, though, with a small staff, so that is a minor complaint.

Very professional, prompt, courteous and no sales pitch. I called about a high end watch battery. They fixed it in the holiday rush within minutes, and told me what repairs it would need within the next few years. Also they warrentied the battery all for less than $6.00. Fred was a "gem".

When I asked when the job would be done they said 10 days, which a thought was excessive for such a simple repair. But they did it competently.

My Seiko chronograph watch had indications the battery was weak, so based on Angie's list recommendations, and convenience on the way home from work, I stopped in. At the time one young lady was helping a customer, but immediately, she said hello and a young gentleman appeared from behind a curtain, and, most pleasantly, asked how he could help. I handed him my watch saying I believe the battery was dying, and he said he'd be right back. In the meantime, I overheard the advice being given to the other customer: very accomodating of her tastes, breaking out a catalog - just excellent service (and I don't believe the pendant was going to be expensive by any means). In less than five minutes, the young man returned, handed me my watch, and simply said and quot;That will be five dollarsand quot;. I looked at the watch, it was running, and, startled, said and quot;Nothing costs five dollars nowadays...and quot;. He smiled, rung it up and, with tax came to $5.35. Nicely laid out store: small, but not annoyingly all-advertisements...seeming to be a 'family storeand quot;. By the way, I wear my watch in shower, everywhere and was concerned its waterproof status would be maintained: it's now been 3 weeks (21 showers) and still waterproof.

Great... when the crystal came in and they needed an extra part they order it at no charge and repaired immediately.

They repaired a broken clasp on a men's gold necklace. I made an appointment with the on-site goldsmith to have my wedding set (ring and band) soldered and have the settings inspected. The showed me the diamond under a microscope and then completed the work in less than 20 minutes while I waited. They cleaned the necklace, wedding set, and another ring I was wearing. Everyone was very professional and friendly.

Store was busy, they got to me in turn and fixed the ring. Nice experience.

It was very good. They were very courteous. My husband had one of the watches for at least 30 years and the man was able to repair it and get it working perfectly again. The price was extremely reasonable for what all he did. He even polished the crystal at no extra charge. They took me right away as soon as I walked in. I didn't have to wait for somebody to notice me. They were very professional. I would use them again.
