5 /5 Claire Tomiak: I chose Panther City Jewelers because of the other reviews, and I am here to say they are all correct! I came in hoping to get my ring “upsized”. This ring is high karat gold, very delicate, very light, and easily bendable. It already had plenty of dents in it from wearing it to work (nurse). Mr Alex explained the process of stretching to enlarge the size. We spoke in detail about my options, what might happen, how he would fix it if it did break, etc. He felt pretty good about stretching it up by one size. We sized the finger I wanted it on, and I was about to commit when he remembered me saying I was a nurse. He said he suspected I work in cold environments, which is true! My hands are always cold, and that affects sizing. We double checked sizes again, and went with a 7.75 instead of an 8. What a thoughtful suggestion, and it fits perfectly!
I picked up my ring the very next day, and I was so impressed at the quality of his work! He even straightened out the dents! My ring has a personal story behind it, so naturally I was apprehensive about work being done. But now, I plan to bring him my grandmother’s ankle bracelet (prob from the 1930s) to fix. I can’t say enough good things, I would trust him with any piece of jewelry, because he is honest about what he can/can’t do. Oh and being cheaper than the quotes I got certainly didn’t hurt ;) And he offers complimentary cleanings!
If you’re questioning where to go like I was, choose Panther City Jewelers because the quality is amazing, the price point is very fair, and most of all Mr. Alex is a good, honest person.
Ps. Occasionally I think he has to run out for work errands, so I would recommend calling first to make sure he is there. That’s not a negative in any way, just a suggestion :)
