Friends Jewelers - Sarasota (FL)

5 /5 Chemtrails Over America: I left 5 jewelry items with Tom for repair. One of the items he could not get a part for. The other 4 were repaired perfectly for a total of only $80 thats $20 for each repair. Excellent job !! Highly recommended ! Great value

1 /5 A. Moore: The stone in my wifes earrings came loose from the setting. Took them to Friends to have it re-set and inspect the other one to make sure they are both secure. They told me it would take a week. It took 3x longer. When I looked them over after I picked them up, I found the diamond was still loose in the setting. Went back to the store and with my confidence in the jeweler compromised, I got my money back. I took them to another local jeweler and he informed me that setting was not done properly (obviously), the earring is full of tool marks and there was a crack in the setting (missed/or caused by friends). The new jeweler was quite aware of Friends jeweler. He said he has known him for more than 20 years and told me he was "burned out" and ready to retire. Judging by the quality of his work, it seems hes lost his pride in his work. Save yourself some time/headache, take your jewelry elsewhere.

5 /5 Kathleen Angona: Beautiful jewelry. A few years ago, I bought beautiful earrings Water-Mellon pink and green. About five years ago I bought a watch and a year ago I didnt get a battery or broken so I was in town and checked out the old watch. I think I would have to buy another watch, but the owner said he would look at the old one that was in my old purse, and I was going to throw it out. The owner checked the old one. Eight minutes later the jeweler gave me the original watch and fixed it and looks like it was years ago. No charge because the jeweler Friends Jewelers made the watch and put a new battery and cleaned up. Excellent Jewelers.
