    Taking 2 links out resulted in perfect fit! But I should have cleaned up the band before taking the photo.
    James Q.

    I recently bought a quartz watch with a metal bracelet band online. When it came, like always, the watch band was way to big and needed to be resized by taking about 2 links out of it. I'm pretty handy at fixing things and I have removed links from other watchbands. I have an inexpensive tool from Amazon that is used to facilitate the removal of the two small pins to release the links for removal. I removed the pins easily enough but I made an error in reassembly of the watchband. It is simply the reversal of the pin/link removal except in reverse order. But, I messed up. I wasn't paying close enough attention and installed the links next to the watchband clasp upside down. At first I laughed at my silly error but after about 20 minutes of trying to get the pins out without success, I wasn't laughing anymore. Apparently, by assembling those links upside down, I must have jammed the pins when I incorrectly reinserted them. They wouldn't come out. The tool I had was not very robust and I ended up bending the tool. That wasn't a big loss as it was only about $5. So, I had to find a jeweler or repair shop. And I Googled and Yelped for a place near me. That's how I found Design 4 U. Ruby, the owner/operator for this nice shop really took good care of me. I told/showed her what I had done wrong and left it with her so she wouldn't have to rush to do the repair. She called me the next day and told me it was ready. The watchband fit perfectly and I was very happy. I was even happier when she told what the charge was. It was about half of what other jewelry stores charge for that kind of service. Her repair work and cheerful personality were outstanding. Combine that with the very reasonable pricing makes it a pleasure to give Ruby a 5-star rating! THANK YOU RUBY!!! BTW, sorry there are no photos included. I forgot my cellphone on this trip. Jim

    Highly recommend Design 4 U. I have been working with Ruby for years now. She and I have designed a dozen of fine jewelry pieces together. Each time, I was very pleased with the result. Ruby is very professional and friendly. She goes out of her way and beyond to make you happy. I trust Ruby and her professionalism.

    I cannot say enough good things about Ruby. She has been with me since the moment I got engaged, fixed up my ring, made my wedding band, and helped me handle the combination of the two! She is kind, sweet, prompt, and so knowledgeable. I think the highlight of my experience with her has been her honesty and genuine care for me -- even when she told me to stop panicking about my ring being too tight or too loose and lovingly encouraged me to be patient for a few days and wear the damn thing! Come here for ANY jewelry need, regardless of the item. Purchasing. Sizing. Cleaning. Fixing. Ruby is the gal! PS. Here's my final rings put together and cleaned and sized. AMAZING!

    Design 4 U did an superb job sizing my bridal ring set in time for my wedding. It was during Covid and around Labor Day so it was hard to find a jeweler that did ring sizing on site and next day service (other jewelers were out of town or wanted to send out for 7+ day service). Both rings fit perfectly and gorgeous. Just in time for my wedding. Highly recommend Design 4 U!

    So very thankful for, Design 4 U! We got engaged on Saturday and my ring was half a size too big. We reached out to multiple places and Design 4 U responded SO quickly! We were able to schedule an appt on Sunday and get the ring back on Tuesday! So thankful she was so accommodating with our schedule and that we were able to make appts that worked for us!

I walked in to have the owner verify the authenticity of a bracelet I had purchased from a consignment store, and she was incredibly gracious and welcoming. She immediately put me at ease and confirmed that the bracelet was authentic. After spending some time talking with her, I felt an instant connection. She was warm, genuine, and very knowledgeable. I ended up purchasing another beautiful bracelet, not just because of how pleasant the experience was, but because I truly felt she offered me a fair & honest price. If you're looking for a reputable jeweler who is both professional and personable, I would highly recommend her. Walk in, you won't be disappointed.

She is very knowledgeable about the industry and She is very transparent and trustworthy in the way she conducts business. She is not focused on making a quick sale, instead, she takes the time to explain every detail, such as pricing breakdowns and quality differences, even when that honesty might discourage the purchase, but it makes me trust her and want to purchase a different piece from her because I know she genuinely prioritizes her clients' best interests. Her openness has led me to return to her multiple times since discovering her in March, and I will keep coming back!

It is even more spectacular in person than it is in the photographs. Brett has also helped me redesign and create new jewelry from family heirlooms. He listens to every detail and works hard to create your dream item. Brett is also so reasonably priced and he never upsells.

I had a very valuable pearl necklace from my grandmother that was gifted to my mom, and the pearl strand broke. Paul examined the necklace and quickly assessed that it will need to be restrung and that the clasp is not damaged. After his assessment and me communicating how important it was to get it done the same-day due to another jeweler failing to compete the repair after two months of waiting, he shared that he can do it for us the same day and even waived the same-day fee due to the urgency of our request and the negative experience we had previously. I think his wife was at the cashier and she typed us a receipt. She was super sweet. I also liked that the front door is locked and you have to ring the doorbell to be buzzed in - made me feel safe to be inside. We left the jewelry shop and within an hour, Paul called to tell us it was ready. The pearl necklace looked brand new. Paul did an excellent job! We picked up the necklace, paid for it, and surprised our mom. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and professional work!
