However, it was so heavily worn that it was completely unwearable and would most likely need to be melted down and rebuilt. My fiancé shopped around at a lot of jewellers, but everyone focused on the resale value and kept insisting on replacing the diamonds, not seeming to understand the sentimental value of the ring. Aria was the first jeweller who seemed more than happy to work with him to preserve the structure and meaning of the ring! They were also the only ones who weren't going to send the ring out - he wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be sent somewhere that he couldn't be sure what was happening. They were excellent with communication, even agreeing to only call during the hours that he knew I was at work, and were great at keeping him updated on the process. He had also brought in another family engagement ring with the intention of using the gold to help fill in the structural integrity of the other ring. Between using that gold, a bit of their own, and the remaining gold from my Grandmother's ring, they restored the ring to its original beauty without even needing to melt down the setting! The diamonds were removed and cleaned, and the original setting cleaned up, so now the ring shines in a way I've never seen. Additionally, they cut, cleaned, and saved the setting from the other engagement ring and turned it into a beautiful pendant that I'll be able to wear on our wedding day. It was all very reasonably priced, and I'm blown away with the final result. I love that they valued the ring as much as I did and truly understood the meaning behind this whole process. I can't recommend them enough! I'm hoping to go back to have my wedding band made soon! Thank you so much!

The plan was to put in a new battery (for $50.85!) and go from there. Claude would text me when it was ready. Radio silence.. After 2 weeks I popped in, they hadn't changed the battery yet. Another 2 weeks passed.. no message. So I stopped by again. This time they did change the battery but Claude didn't communicate this to me. Since the new battery didn't fix the problem, they wanted their "expert" to look at it and give an estimate of the repair. As a result, they held onto my watch for another 2 additional months (!) without any communication. When I visited the store to check on the status, they couldn't give any update and promised it would be ready soon. When I had enough and asked for my watch back, they actually didn't know where it was! They sent me home again and Claude would call me the following day to give an update on where it was (you guessed it: he didn't.) When I came back again the next day, I was helped by Bernadette. Thank god she was able to help, locate my watch within a day, and actually call me with the news. That said, I will never come back here again!

We found a highly-reviewed jeweler in a favourable location, however, it turned out to be a rather sketchy endeavour. I didn't feel comfortable giving them our business, so we jumped back on Google and found World Jewellery. World Jewellery is conveniently situated downtown, near Queen and Church. Co-owner, Floriss, and her colleague, Eddie, quickly assessed our situation with warmth and professionalism. They cleaned my ring, and we waited a short time (about 20 minutes - while kindly being offered cookies in the interim!) for the diamond-in-question to be replaced. My ring looks even better now than it did before! The fee for their service was totally reasonable, especially considering their unbelievably speedy turnaround. My fiancé and I are extremely impressed, and will happily recommend World Jewellery to others! We will definitely return if my ring needs any other repairs (or cleaning) in the future. :) Thank you, Floriss and Eddie!

I genuinely don't understand how this place accumulates so many positive reviews. If you care about…read moreyour watches, please read this before stepping in. I brought my vintage Rolex Oysterdate 6694 (1963) here for a standard movement service. Being new to the country, I needed a trusted watchmaker for my vintage pieces, and I fell for his claims of being a "former Rolex watchmaker" and his high Google rating. The technician originally quoted me $890 tax included for a full overhaul, with a one-month turnaround promised. Exactly 6 days later, he called saying it was ready. My BS detector immediately went off. He then claimed the price would be higher because he "had to replace the mainspring with a genuine Rolex part," for an extra $250. Let's be clear: in a standard overhaul, the mainspring change is always included in the base price. Furthermore, a mainspring is a completely blank, generic part, there is no such thing as a "Rolex branded mainspring" or any markings on it. When I challenged him and told him to put my old spring back, the price magically dropped from $250 to $125. A 50% discount on a "premium branded component" the second you ask questions? Shady. When I went to pick up the watch, the "welcoming" guy from before was gone, replaced by a sour and defensive attitude. I asked for the timegrapher report and the waterproof pressure test results, standard documentation provided by any real watchmaker. He refused, claiming he "doesn't do that" and that I just had to trust him. When I insisted, he aggressively diverted the conversation. Worse: the crooked dial feet I had specifically asked him to fix were still completely crooked. He tried to "fix it" on the spot in a rush, but again diverted the conversation, and ultimately did nothing. I had a timegrapher report from before his "service." The amplitude was a bit low, meaning the watch did need a service, or that the spring was a bit worn, nothing that cleaning and oiling wouldn't have fixed. The rest: 0s/day (perfect), 0.5 to 0.9ms beat error (near perfect, but suggestive of an aging spring). I went back home and put it on my own timegrapher. Result post service: +9.9s/day, 1.7 to 2.2ms beat error... the beat error indicates it was never tuned, he simply slapped a new spring in and closed the watch. Worse, a beat error that high prematurely wears out everything inside. Since, I bought a professional timegrapher. The readings were even worse than before. +183s/day, +2.3ms beat second. To top it all off, he added an illegal credit card surcharge to the final bill. On an initial verbal quote of $890 tax included, I ended up paying $1134.80 before taxes... I sent him texts, emails (that bounced back), asking him to: 1. show me the spring's packaging, 2. give me back the old spring, 3. explain why the readings were worse than before, 4. fix the crooked dial as he said he would. He never replied. I took it to my bank and credit card company, and here's what's interesting: they had received complaints about him before, apparently he operated under multiple names. I got a chargeback. PS: I went to Rolex to service another watch and mentioned him. They know him very well, but he is not, and never was, a watchmaker for them... and issuing a document to prove former employment or even an authorized service center is absolutely impossible. So the Rolex letter behind his desk? Probably forged. PS2: I went back in my hometown where I have a trusted watchmaker, I brought it to him. He confirmed the spring is indeed new, but the wrong reference for this watch, too "strong," likely the incorrect part. He had to clean and oil the whole thing again, as some oils were too thick, others too thin, and some were simply dirty. He told me it was unlikely the waterproof test had ever been run, as the gasket was dry and improperly seated. Which makes me wonder: what did this guy actually do to my watch, besides slapping in an overpriced, wrong spring?

So I searched up and found Right Time, which is conveniently located right in the atrium. Out of all price quotes, Right Time had the cheapest price quote which was $35 + tax compared to the $40 $45 price quotes. And Gabriella, the business owner, estimated it would take 1 hour for the repair. Which is amazing compared to the other estimates I got. So I dropped by around 1 and returned an hour later at 2 and my watch was fixed almost like new. The glass of the crystal is slightly raised above the height of my actual watch so you can feel the bump and so now I have to be even more careful. I'm still happy with the repair and the workers there were super nice. I'd totally return to get my watch fixed if it needs fixing again, which hopefully doesn't happen. Totally recommend.
