I've always had a decent experience here but, CALL before you go. I tried to go there 3x at all different times of day and all different days of the week and they aren't open. I'm shocked the mall lets them get away with being as flaky as they are now. read more

I always take my jewelry and watches to Barat, always excellent work service and a master craftsman.

Had a great experience here with a ring sizing. Professional job all around at a great price.

Needed a metal watch band so while my wife ran her errand, I ran over and bought a new stainless steel band. Owner was very friendly and efficient; most importantly, the price was right. Located in Liberty Tree mall inside near Best Buy. read more

Great service - reattached a necklace clasp for me in a couple minutes. Highly recommend!!

My dad, having grown up during the Great Depression, never liked to see perfectly good things get thrown out. Many years ago, he managed to rescue a nice-looking Relic brand watch that was in the trash at work. When I complained about not having a watch, he gave this to me and I enjoyed wearing it until the crystal cracked and shattered. Left on a bookcase shelf for about 20 years, I dusted the watch off recently and decided to see if it could be fixed. Found Barat's on the internet and brought it down. The crystal was an easy fix and reasonably priced but when the battery was changed, the watch still wouldn't work because of water damage and a battery leak. I asked if it could be fixed and Yakov said he could get a new movement for 60 dollars. I decided to go ahead with the repair because the timepiece held a lot of sentimental value. After a few days, the watch was fixed and it runs great. The time and date were correctly set too when I picked it up. No lectures about spending money to repair a lower-end watch either. I am happy I had it fixed because there's something about this watch that always reminds me of my dad. read more

My father goes to this guy and loves him. When the pin on my watch band broke, I knew right where to go. Sure enough, fixed it real quick, even though its an older watch and the band isn't made anymore etc. If you have a sweet piece that you need repaired, but want someone to it who actually cares and stands by his work, you definitely need to check this place out. My go-to place from now on. Thanks!! read more

Yakov repaired a Bulova watch for me recently, his pricing was very affordable and the service was great. Several other repair shops and Bulova direct would not repair the watch. He is extremely talented and great to work with. read more

My wife's watch lost the crown which enables the watch to be set the proper time. I found Barat's on the internet and brought the watch to him. Mr. Barat said the crown and post had become separated from the mechanism. Said he could order replacement parts and see if that would enable the watch to run again. Said if it didn't he would return the parts and just charge me the return fee. He ordered the parts and fixed the watch. I found him to be knowledgeable and honest. read more

What a wonderful experience. Mr. Barats is so knowledgeable. Brought a ring in for resizing. He educated us on the material, difficulty, and the pros and cons of getting the ring sized by him vs a jeweler who uses a laser. He made sure we understood the difference and that with the type of metal the ring may not end up perfectly round because of the setting. We decided to go for it and the ring came out perfect. He did it right in front us, which was fascinating to watch. Other jewelry stores refused to resize it, but he took on the challenge. So grateful, would definitely recommend and come back for any other jewelry needs. read more

Mr Barat is an amazing craftsman. He saved my very old and delicate engagement ring after I lost a Diamond. He was thoroughly charming, fast and very easy to deal with too. Recommend this jeweler 100%. A true gem!! read more

Was looking for a place that could service my mechanical automatic watch from a very traditional German brand that has no US representation. The watch needed adjustments and service of the movement after all these years. Through reviews, I found Barats close to my workplace. He was very friendly and knowledgable and interested in doing this service. Understanding that this kind of work will take several days, I left my treasured watch with him. He called me with updates on the service, explained what is wrong and needs to be done. After the service was complete he called again and asked to keep it for a couple more days to make sure it keeps its time. Once Yakov was satisfied with the accuracy of the watch he let me know it is ready for pickup. I was amazed to see the very inexpensive bill and the watch as good as new! Thank you Barats - I will send you friends and family. Update: A month later, I am happy to report that the watch is now very accurate. Barats skillfully adjusted the movement. read more

I have been using Barats Jewelry Repair for repair of all my jewelry since we moved to Beverly, MA in 2008. He is 'magic' when it comes to watch repair. I now live in Hawaii, and I still send all my watches to Yakov for repair - I can always count on his honesty and sincerity. read more

Convenient location. Fast and easy service and reasonable cost. Will be back in the future.

Yakov (though I like to call him Mr. Barats) is a gem himself: honest, supremely competent, and he clearly loves his craft. I've seen him juggle two administrative tasks while paying meticulous attention to the repair of a piece of jewelry. It's worth a visit just to watch him work. And it's very likely he will to your work for you on the spot! read more

Bad businessman. Bad customer service. I brought a necklace in on a Friday, picked it up on a Saturday. Wore it on Monday, it broke again on Monday. I thought "oh, he might have missed a spot." The necklace had to be repaired in a few places. I returned to the kiosk the following Thursday - I wanted to return as soon as I could, to hope that he would remember me and my necklace. He did. As I laid out my necklace on the counter, he stood with his hands in his pockets - not engaging me in anyway. And said "that is not my wire", "that is not my problem". I said so you won't repair it for me? He said yes, but it would cost money. I picked up my necklace and walked away. I was really mad. Does he not know that repeat customers are the best customers? Bad businessman. Never again. Can anyone recommend a decent jewelry repair shop on the north shore? read more

I recently brought an Orient Ray watch to Barats for installation/modification using some aftermarket parts. Yakov went above and beyond to help me out and the watch looks amazing! I had new hands, domed crystal, and a leather nato strap installed. If you're in the Boston area and are looking for a place to install your watch mods, Barats is the place. Fast, friendly service and fair prices! read more

I have dropped off several watches at this place and I think its the best around! I own a good a variety of watches and he takes meticulous care of the watches while he does his thing. I enjoy talking the the owner. He has a great sence of humor. He always makes me laugh and feel at ease while I'm there. If you are looking for good prices, conversation and a repaired piece of jewelry good quality craftsmanship (in my case, mainly watches) stop by and see Jacob. A. read more

I have gone to Barats many times for watch batteries for all my watches (expensive & everyday). He always has the batteries in stock and does a great job in a quick complete way. I appreciate that I am able to ask him questions and he gives me straight answers. read more

Yakov is great!! He replaced my watch battery and fixed my bracelet all in under 10 mins. He's very friendly too!

If you have any type of jewelry that needs repairing then this is the place to go to!!! Great service,Quality work. Yakov Barat really cares about his customers and takes extra time to make sure that his customers are truly satisfied with the work he is performing on their jewelry. Barats was a real lifesaver for me.My youngest son is getting married and he asked his Mother and I if we can wear our wedding bands on the day of his wedding.Because of my job I don't wear my wedding band and I haven't worn it for quite some time. When I went to put it on it would not fit on my finger. I brought it to Barats and he looked at it and told me my ring was a size 9 and asked how old it was. I told him 36 years old. He spent 1 hour carefully trying to widen my band without damaging my ring. When all was said and done he was able to resize it to a 10 3/4 size. Thanks so much for taking to time and having the patience to fix my ring. You are a fine craftsman and it shows in the quality of your work!!! My wife and I appreciate what you did for us and you made my son so happy!!! You are the BEST!!!!!!!!! read more

Excellent customer service, fast, courteous, very fair prices. Watch battery replaced in about 30 seconds. Highly recommend.

Great work, fast, friendly, and honest ! For five years, I've brought old watches here that needed repairs, or batteries, or bands changed, always leaving satisfied. Also have had rings sized and chains repaired. He has told me when my requests were not practical too, which I appreciate. I will not go elsewhere, as long as he is in business. You can walk in for service, or call or email via his web site. read more

I dropped off two rings to get fixed and resized and he did an amazing job. He is nice and has Reasonable prices. Has a stunning jewelry selection! Will come back in the future! read more

Dropped my sons very expensive watch yesterday and the back popped off. Did not want to take a chance to try to fix it myself so I stopped by the shop. The gentleman was very courteous and very helpful and was able to repair the watch in under two minutes. Five dollars. Other places could have kept it for a while and charge me a lot more. Very pleasant experience. I will definitely bring any future repairs to this shop. read more

My fiancé and I went to see him to resize her engagement ring. The owner is very nice, knowledgeable and definitely knows what he's doing. He wasn't busy when we went to see him and he was able to get it done while we waited. He knocked it out in about 10-15 minutes and his price was very fair. His work is flawless and you can't tell where the band was cut. I'd recommend Barat's to anyone in need of his services and both myself and my fiancé are very happy we chose Barat's. read more

Yakov did a great job replacing the movement in my watch. Price was very reasonable. He does fast reliable work.

Went to Barats last week with a broken Tiffany bracelet. Mr. Barat gave me options, with prices, on what he could do and fixed it as I waited. Job well done! So nice to have something fixed right away..by someone who clearly knows what he is doing..alreadu told a friend about this place! read more

I like this guy a lot. I went to him because I wanted to get sizing balls put on my engagement ring to stop it from spinning. He advised me that he could add them, but was very upfront that they may not solve my problem and could also come with their own disadvantages (discomfort; price; mismatched metal). I appreciated his honesty, because he could have just done the work and made the sale, but he instead acted as an objective consultant. I decided to think about it and also wait to see if wearing my wedding band with my ring would help the spinning. He clearly knows his craft and has good business ethics. read more

Came to Barats 2 consecutive days. First day to purchase a new watch band. Had the one I wanted for a reasonable price AND replaced the watch pins at little to no cost when others wanted to charge $10 each! The young man working this day was very personable and kind. Next day I returned to have charms removed from one charm bracelet and placed on another. 9 charms in all, sterling silver, $50 total. More than fair price. Better yet, he got to work on it immediately and had it done in less than 40 minutes. All in all, I would certainly patron again. HIghly recommend. read more

Did a great job sizing a watch for me, very quick, super nice, very reasonable rates too!

The craftsmanship is amazing. The first time I brought in my precious diamond necklace that had a silver broken chain. Mr. Barats could not locate the same exact link to match the chain but found an identical link and the neckless looks perfect and seamless. His attention to detail and focus on making each item perfect is what makes me keep coming back to him. I would trust him with any of my jewelry because he is an honest businessman. read more

Yakov did an amazing job refurbishing and engraving my fathers ring so I can wear it for my wedding. Highly recommend his services and will take more items there in the future. Friendly, detail oriented and excellent service. Highly recommend. read more

This is as good as it gets. This man fixed my movado that had gone through the wash machine 5 times....don't ask. Then he worked on my wedding band. This he did in about 30 minutes for a reasonable price. I am a fan and will be back! Thank you! read more

Phenomenal! Trust me on this one: go to him for all of your jewelry issues. Over the years, this man has done wonders for me. He is a jack of all trades and... a master of all. He has done complex jewelry repairs for me that others couldn't do, let alone my jewelry VENDORS!!! For years he has done my bracelets, chains, rings (sizing), watches, engraving, and everything else in between. Every visit, I get the same experience: highest quality work that's done very fast. This man has been doing it for years. Aside from professional trust, I also have personal trust in him as he has an incredible attitude, a sense of humor, and a passion for jewelry repair unlike no other. This man goes above and beyond and provides helpful suggestions (i.e., how to take care of a watch, what kind of ring to get, and etc). TRUST ME, go to him. Jewelry is expensive and sentimental, and I feel safe going to him knowing he will do a superb job in a short period of time. PS: I once talked to him and he pretty much told me he's been doing this since his younger years. Clearly he was meant for this - he was doing it since Day 1. Reason why I'm saying it is that this guy is in a CLASS OF HIS OWN.. and it shows via his talent. I've tried to do work with other jewelry repair shops or even vendors and no one came close, ever. Like I said, jewelry is an expensive investment, and he's the guy you should be going to! read more
