im not usually one to do this. write bad reviews and all. i like to believe that people will be…read morereasonable. that they will be understanding. two odd weeks ago, i had decidedly chosen to get my rings sized. i was only wearing 1 at the time, since many were too big, or misshapen and needed fixing. i had put it off for a long time but now felt like a good time. i picked yonans bc along w the one i was wearing and the misshapen ring, both had been purchased from there, years back, by my mother. ik i was asking a lot, or rather that the amount of work that i was asking was, a lot (considering the other three rings that were being tweaked and sized). all of this is to say i had the smallest frame of reference in time to discover that the rings did not fit well when getting them returned to me. they were done so fast, i worked all week and couldn't make it myself during their business hours and had a friend pick up the order for me. like i said, the time between having them back, and two falling off, was razor thin. i had no time or rather did not possess the opportunity to return them for proper fitting--they were already gone, missing forever, within a day of having them back. i wouldn't trust these people with your jewelry; it's not in their skill set. this was mainly a basic job about sizing that they got so wrong the first time. they also refused to listen to me, lacked empathy, and wouldn't not take responsibility. i owned that ring for over 10 years and it came with me on birthdays and an international trip my passed gpa took me to, it was with me through college and graduation, through barely getting by to starting my career. i immensely loved that ring. that pretty, inexpensive, black hills gold one that my mother once bought me in 2014 for my golden birthday. rip, it meant everything to wear it.

He pulled out a 2 carat ring and said doesn't this look better? Of course it does. I just don't feel like you should make someone feel bad with what they have. If I wanted a bigger diamond, I could have one. My life situation has changed. But my little diamond reminds me of how far we have come. Don't go for a cleaning unless you have a huge rock.

The staff is super friendly and helpful and they completed the resizing within just a few days. They took an expensive piece of jewelry I was previously unable to wear, wearable! I can't wait to wear it. I also brought in a ring to be resized but they were honest in telling me that I was better off sending it back to the jeweler who created the ring (pictured) because the setting was loose and they did not want to risk breaking the stone when resizing because the band was so thin. They took pictures and my measured my true ring size for me to provide to my jeweler in NY all for free and just to be helpful. I will definitely go to them for all my jewelry needs.

It's very difficult to find a great clock repair shop, and this one is fantastic. We have a family…read moreheirloom mantle clock, 79 years old. It needed a good cleaning and tune-up. We made the worthwhile trip to Turlock. Keep in mind that you may need to wait for quality service, drop the clock off and be patient. Once our clock was back home, it's running like a champ. Not inexpensive, but you do pay for quality work. We also sought a repair on a cuckoo clock, and Gary was honest with us. He spoke of the clock's value, cost of repair, and the fact that we could get a new Black Forest clock for a lower price (which we did). Gary referred us to the source. This has been a good experience. Thank you Gary, two thumbs up!

We made an appointment, he came on on time, put the clock back together, balanced the weights and what ever it needed, and now it's working again! The sound of the chime brings me back to when I was a child at my grandparents home. Thank you clock doctor!

The wife came to prep my daughter's ears and have us choose a pair (they had the typical hypo-allergenic earrings nothing special). The husband did the piercing everyone had freshly sanitized hands, no gloves which I didn't mind. He came and pierced her ears and he was kind and gentle. My daughter didn't make a single sound! She was excited to have earrings and I gave her a little pep talk on what to expect. It was amazing and under $25 which blew my mind, $7 for piercing solution to keep clean for the healing process. Highly recommend!!!!
