So it goes, the world fills up with strip malls and fast food, and the little human things vanish. But Dave's Jewelers on Nottingham Way is still here, shining like a clean window in the rain. A family business. Real people. The hours are short, Friday through Sunday only, but maybe that is good. Maybe it keeps the place human. I brought in my mother's watch. Not a treasure by market standards, but worth more than Fort Knox to her because a friend gave it to her when she retired. Steve met me at the counter. He held the watch the way a priest holds a chalice and treated it as though it were a Patek Philippe. In five minutes he replaced the battery, polished away years of tarnish, and handed it back to me. It looked reborn. The bill was six dollars. Less than a cheeseburger. Meanwhile, I looked in the cases. Not just the cookie cutter trinkets that line the malls, but old pieces with personality, antiques, oddities, jewelry with ghosts in them. This is a store where people still know your name, and you know theirs. That used to be normal in America. Now it feels like a miracle. Support it. Places like this are how civilization hangs on. read more

I went in to have my mom's rosary beads adjusted (one piece opened up). Dave's Jewelers took care of it in a minute. It was a busy Saturday but the service is worth the wait. Always see beautiful pieces and well priced. Thank you Dave's Jewelers!! read more

Dave Sales - Business card - Jewelry Near Me - Hamilton Twp, New Jersey

My fiancé and I sat with 7 different jewelers before settling on Dave's. They were the first shop that felt less like sales people and more like old acquaintances. They calmed our worries on finding a unique engagement ring, and helped us design one that we both loved. The process was very quick and easy, and we got to be involved the entire way. We are both extremely happy with how the ring came out. read more

Had to get some links taken off a watch and went to Dave's Jewelers in Hamilton. Very nice family owned business. Dave emailed me right away when I wrote asking if the work on my particular watch and his son Steven was very nice and very fast. read more

Amazing service and jewelry is the highest quality. Dave and family has helped us a few times. He reset a ring from my grandmother and recently he created my stunning engagement ring. They have beautiful items there and the craftsman's ship of everything is the best. read more

Dave Sales - 2.8 karat diamond in white gold band. - Jewelry Near Me - Hamilton Twp, New Jersey

Our family has patronized Dave's for decades--and for good reason: Frankly, they are peerless in their individualized service, premium-quality products (often customized), and honest prices. If you want outstanding, unique pieces and unparalleled service in a small town, this is the place to go. read more

Dave's is the first place we go for buying jewelry or jewelry repair. Everyone there is so professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. At times it has been so busy I chose to come back another time. People sort of line up, but it's hard to know who is next. Not everybody follows "first come, first served" rule! My only suggestion is to have numbers to take as you enter. Recently, I hadn't been there in a few years, I brought a chain I bought there and a watch band to be fixed. Dave's son (I think...he's working more as Dave is in semi-retirement) remembered my name and repaired the items free. Other times, for graduation and birthday presents, as well as batteries or repairs...prices are very reasonable. They are like an old time local shop...integrity, great customer service and community spirit. I recommend them. I would give more stars if I could! read more

Had a great experience. I took a couple watches for new batteries. Dave's only charges $6.00 for a new battery. The place I used to go now charges $20. Looking back, I should have always gone to Dave's. The battery is replaced by a professional not some kid trying to sell watches. They have a great collection of jewelry I know this is where I will be going for jewelry needs. read more

Good: fair appraisal at no cost, great selection Not: best if you're an old conservative, otherwise they'll ignore you, stare at you like you have 3 heads after taking care of the person who cut in front of you Nice shop, fair prices, prompt, knows his business, but expect to be passed over if you're not part of their normal demographic. I'm sticking with Hamilton & H1912-pricier, but I'm treated very, very well there, whereas here i nearly burst into tears in the car, in front of 9yo. I know they're understaffed, but I felt like i wasted my time--why bother only to be treated like this? read more

I have used Dave's Jewelers for many years. Dave and the other staff in the store are always very friendly and helpful. Even when they are very busy, someone acknowledges you when you come in and they take care of your jewelry needs as soon as possible. We recently bought our wedding rings here. My husband's ring was an estate ring and my diamond wedding band is gorgeous! read more

We have been customers of Dave's Jewelers since they opened many years ago. We have always been beyond pleased with every sales and service experience. They are the most dependable, honest, and hard-working jewelers we know that go out of their way to ensure customer satisfaction in every regard. Their jewelry selection and value are the best in the industry too. They are our one and only jewelers and we highly recommend them! For sure they treat you like "family" and that is of utmost importance! read more

Not only do they provide excellent service, they are reasonably priced and the nicest people EVER.

Service and customer service is great. Very dependable. Definitely recommend Dave's for any jewelry repair and watch work.

I recently had a horrible and dishonest experience in which I purchased an expensive jewelry item that appraised at under half what I paid with another local jeweler and was referred to Dave by the manager at my local Subaru dealer. I was immediately impressed simply by the way in which I was treated, it is very clear that the employees as well as Dave himself is not simply interested in making a sale but in creating a relationship built on honesty integrity and a sales experience that gently flows instead of pushing and pulling you into making a decision to part with money and make a purchase. Dave has been in business almost 40 years and is knowledgeable about every item in his store. I love the earrings I purchased and Dave has earned my repeat business and respect as my earrings appraised at above what I paid! He sells new, vintage, estate and makes custom jewelry..... and offers payment plans. Do yourself a favor and go see Dave or one of his well trained staff members you will not be sorry! read more

Dave's has a wonderful selection of jewelry for purchase. The estate section of jewelry has amazing finds. The professional staff always ready to serve so you can find what you are looking for. Repairs are a great service for all types of jewelry. This store is a rare find read more

Dave's Jewelers is reasonably priced. Customer service is excellent. i'd highly recommend them. their selection is amazing.

I had my watch battery replaced here for 3 bucks. The service was quick and courteous. They had a decent crowd looking at jewelry, but I did not have to wait too long. The next time I'm in the market for jewelry I will stop by Dave's Sales Jewelers. Just note that it's easy to pass by their driveway entrance, since it is a narrow alleyway that takes you to the back. read more

This place is amazing. Battery changes here or below priced anywhere I have gone. They buy and sell fine jewelry they can fix any watch customer service is amazing they're kind caring and friendly and professional. This place is not in my normal shopping arena but I don't mind going out of my way to come here read more

.. found here on Yelp, and instead of competing with Princeton parking for one of the shops there, I came here, and glad I did. Epitome of polite, expert service in a cozy Main St. Town setting that invites you to browse around. $7 and less than 10 minutes to replace the two batteries in my unique Yes timepiece. Inquired about custom pieces for holiday gifts, artist in residence there, so I'll be back. Perfect for a busy professional! read more

I had a couple of small diamonds fall out of my engagement ring so I took it here to see if I could get them replaced. The jeweler refused to help me. I understood he didn't want to be held responsible if more diamonds were to fall out. The part that upset me was that he made disparaging comments about my ring, kept insinuating my husband bought a cheap ring online, and basically ring shamed me. It was totally unprofessional. I took the ring to Hamilton Jewelers in Princeton. They were more than happy to help and didn't once make any sly comments about the ring. read more

Dave's Jewelers is a a professional store with courteous neighborly staff. I purchased a beautiful vintage watch which I love. One of the staff took the time to clean the watch case and back. Clean the band and fit the watch to me. While this was being done I chatted with the owner and other staff. Just a wonderful buying experience and personal one as well. Jeffrey Emil Diaz read more

Can beat the $3 watch batteries here! Very friendly owners as well as a great selection make coming here an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for custom work and repair as well! read more

Unless you want to be insulted and ripped off, run from these people! It's a dump. It looks like a used car lot. After how they treated me, I'll never go back. Go to Hamilton Jewelers. They're actually honest and have quality jewelry. read more

Dave's Jewelers is a unique fine jewelry store with great customer service and an ebullient interior. Each individual piece of hand-crafted jewelry is custom designed to fit and feel adorned with love! The store presentation is complete with a great variety of jewelry and the salesman is honest and true to his craft. We will certainly return! read more

Very impressed. Very affordable price service offerings. The attitude towards customers are very nice. I must recommend this shop to all. read more

It's actually called Dave's Jewelers. Dave was so pleasant and attentive, and like the other reviewers said, $3 watch battery replacement! Make sure you bring cash. I think I will stop by in the future to look at watches and jewelry to buy as gifts. read more

The owners/staff are wonderful! They are knowledgeable, very helpful and just so nice. Such a pleasant experience doing business at Dave's.

Amazing professional experience. Had my wedding set repaired and couldn't be happier with the service or quality of work. Highly recommend!

Just like others said, you can not beat this for as cheap as a 3 buck for watch battery replacement.

A bunch of liars. Don t trust Dave Jewelers at 3684 Nottingham Way, Hamilton Square, NJ 08690. I used their watch service for the first time this week. I brought 3 brand new beautiful watches to have some of the links removed. I paid over $500 for them. I also brought 2 old watches to see if they could be revived. Well, Steven Bath (the younger guy) manhandled my watches in front of me trying to get the links out and shorten them. I remained calm. I was a little upset that he was using the hard table to work on my brand new watches, and I was worried about scratches. But I trusted him, because I thought he was the professional. In the past, a watch repair place would use a felt cushion to ensure no scratches. When he was done, he placed new batteries into my other 2 older watches, and the glass face popped off one of them. He said he would have it reglued and I can pick up the next day. I went home, and tried not to think much of it. The next morning, I put on one of my brand new watches, and I saw there was a scruff mark on the gold trim. I was soo upset. It hadn t been there before. I decided that I would go to the store, pick up my other watch, and tell the owner how upset I was about my experience, and then walk away. I went into the store, picked up my watch, and spoke to the owner s brother. He was very sympathetic and understanding. He took out a diamond loupe (magnifying glass) to inspect the watch, and he said it was only a piece of thread. I was soo happy. It was hard to see, because the bright light was gleaming off the gold trim. Well, I went home, and in the lower light, I could still see the black scruff marks. He had lied to me, with such a straight face, and concern, and compassion. It was impossible to tell that he was lying. That to me is the definition of an untrustworthy person. Someone who will lie to your face for business. I would not recommend buying diamonds or any jewelry from them, unless you don t mind getting lied to and swindled. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this local business. When I lived in town, I would bring my watches here for battery changes. Then, I needed a diamond re-set in my wedding band (the pave had fallen out). Finally, my brother wanted to propose to his girlfriend, but wanted to do a custom ring. He lives in Philly and works odd hours. I suggested Dave's, and Dave works around his schedule to accommodate him for several consultations To design the perfect ring. Ultimately, the ring exceeded expectations, and the price was more than fair. His now fiancée gets compliments all the time. (He proposed over a year ago) I no longer live in the area, I live about an hour south of here, but I still take the trip to get my jewelry repaired here. Dave never forgets a customer - it's been over a year since I've stepped in the store (due to moving) but I needed another jewelry repair. He immediately remembered me, asked how my brother was doing, and asked me to say hi to him. This EXACTLY what you expect from a local business -- customer service and someone you can trust. I will never go anywhere else for my jewelry needs-- the trip is worth is for the attention to detail and genuine care you get here. read more

I have been shopping at Dave's for 25 years for everything from watch batteries, watches, engagement and wedding rings, Christening gifts and more. All my children also shop here for their girlfriends/wife. They have the best prices, they are wonderful people to work with and if you happen to be looking for something in particular and they do not have it in the store they will do their best to get you exactly what you want. I highly recommend this jewelry store. read more

Cute place! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a wide selection of jewelry, including estate pieces. I was able to find the perfect gift, at a price I could afford. Would defiantly recommend! read more
