This shop will hold a special place in my heart forever!…read more When I was shopping, my boyfriend stumbled upon this place and surprised me by getting my ring reshaped from its very smooshed oval shape back into a circle. He was chatting with Leonard about his projects, and having a good time distracting him from getting his work done, I'm sure, but Leonard was very nice and answered all of his questions. He told us how he makes jewelry and about his different tools, which was fun to learn about. While we were there, Leonard pointed out how delicate my ring had become over the years of wear. It was very thin and starting to separate in places, so reshaping it was tricky. He showed me under a microscope where the ring was worn down. My dad got me the ring in Mexico on my 16th birthday, and I've worn it everyday since then. I'm in my 30's now, for reference...it's been on my hand for over than half of my life. My dad passed away, so I need this ring to last. I asked if he could fix it, and he did me one better: he said he could make a mold of it and create a copy, but make it a bit thicker so it would last longer. That way, I can put my prized ring somewhere safe, but still have one to wear without worrying about it breaking. I just got the new ring back today, and it's absolutely perfect! Did I tear up when I opened it? Maybe.... Thank you so much Leonard! I will definitely be coming back. You've made my 2024!!! If you need your ring reshaped or want some custom or unique jewelry, come here!

I came in for a small visit, which was to put a charm on my charm bracelet. There were quite a few…read morepeople in line in front of me who seem to be regulars, and this gentleman, as it appears to be a fixture in the community for quite some time as well.. the jeweler said he started out as working for Walmart in Palatka. He has a watchmaker on staff . He does custom jewelry orders , laser engraving and pretty much anything you can imagine. I decided to get a charm for my bracelet custom ordered he's going to order a state of Florida charm for me and then engrave my wedding date on it. I charged me 10 bucks to put my charm on and look at a locket on my bracelet as well to see if it needed to be repaired . He did not take upfront to order the gold charm for my bracelet, and said he would text me when he got it in; a couple of days he said. The gentleman was very kind, personable, and laid-back . He works really quick. He has plenty of jewelry for sale as well in the cases . Anything you could possibly want. But he also custom does anything you can imagine.

They clean your jewelry at no charge and have a decent selection of gemstones, diamonds, gold and I think they had silver as well. I saw a book over on the counter so I think they do special orders. It could have been a bit brighter in the store as it was not as bright as many jewelry stores that sell diamonds. Also I felt they could have been a bit more friendly but I guess some people just want to get their jewelry fixed and not have too much conversation.

I visited another jeweler who stated it could not be done easily and not without damaging the coin. So, I came to Mandarin Jewelry. I stopped in on a random Tuesday and spoke with a woman who greeted me when I entered. She understood exactly what I wanted to do and was able to order the pieces to put our coins into great looking simple pendants. I told them I needed them in two weeks because I was traveling to meet my sister and wanted to take hers back to her and they were able to do it. I was very happy with the workmanship and their professionalism. I would absolutely return for any jewelry need!

I knew it would be challenging because of the size difference and the jewels on the band itself. Gary took me back and began working almost immediately. In less than 30 minutes, he had my ring sized from a 7 to a 3 1/2 with no loss in the integrity of the gems on the band. What would've been a several week process elsewhere was so easy and very reasonable! I am more than pleased and highly recommend Gary and Vicci Capraro to anyone who needs any jewelry work or for anyone looking for a beautiful piece.
