It is true that jeweler's make money off from repair. Our jeweler back "home" did just that and during the "leaner months" (but that was there and not here) it kept the business afloat. When we fixed the ring that I referred to here, we didn't get any other estimates. We just wanted to get it fixed and we were grateful for the good work done!

It also just occurred to me that our jeweler back north had said that other jewelers in that area would send the work to them because not every store has someone who can do that. I do know there is a "shop" in the back of "Gold and Art" with folks on staff who do repair work. Could be the same in this area!
