I took my Cartier Tank Française watch to Orr's for a routine battery replacement, assuming their…read morestatus as a Cartier 'authorized partner' ensured professional handling. While the watch was fully functional when I dropped it off, it was returned to me inoperable. It became clear that, despite their authorized status, Orr's lacked the technical proficiency required to replace a battery and re-set a watch with the delicate Caliber 212P quartz chronograph movement. I ultimately had to take the watch to Cartier directly to repair the damage that Orr's caused. My point: If you do not have the expertise to handle a specific movement, it's OK to just say so rather than risk damaging a client's timepiece.

Being such a recognizable and reputable name in Pittsburgh, Henne Jewelers was the obvious choice…read morewhen I wanted to have jewelry from my grandmother repurposed into other pieces. I worked with Juliet and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in guiding me through the entire design process, providing recommendations for settings or designs I might like. We consulted with one of their jewelers, Patrick, who was transparent and honest when advising that one of the pieces was likely too delicate to separate. This was very much appreciated as it wasn't a risk I wanted to take with something so sentimental. After a few weeks, I received a call that my pieces were ready - they turned out better than I could have imagined. I had a ring replated and still can't get over how gorgeous it is. I also had an old pendant redesigned into a more modern setting and wear it almost daily. Their craftsmanship and exemplary level of service is priceless! Because of my great experience, I'll absolutely look to Henne for future purchases and have recommended them to friends and family that are in the market for new or redesigned pieces.

I came to Henne in April 2023 to repurpose my grandmother's wedding band and engagement ring as a…read moregift for my mother for my wedding in August 2023. The rings were too small for her fingers and so my grandmother gave me these years and years ago since they didn't fit my mom. My mom had no idea of this surprise and her father (my grandfather) passed away a few months after I was born, so this was extremely special to her. I had brought a bunch of old gold jewelry to scrap to cover the cost of the repurposing and a diamond to mount to the center of the two rings that had a gold band to scrap. The first meeting with Madison was to design the new ring. Ultimately, we were not changing much - just resizing and adding a diamond. She seemed to understand the ask. We waited several weeks and they called to say we could come in and pick up the ring. Upon coming in, we met with a different person than Madison. He was assuming we were just paying out of pocket when I reminded him of the scrap value going towards the ring. He searched and had no idea what I was talking about. I insisted we wait until Madison was in to pay. Upon seeing the new ring, I tried it on, and realized they mounted the diamond to the wrong ring. These two rings are identical, however, they need to be stacked in a certain way to be flush. They didn't check for this and put it on the wrong ring. They covered the cost to fix it but it took the same amount of time as the original (4-6 weeks). Luckily, we approached them months before our actual wedding date with all these delays. Once finished with the fixes, Madison later called to tell us to come in on a specific day when she was working. We came in and got the gold appraisal as well. She pulled out all the old jewelry that I had provided but the gold band to the mounted diamond was not in the pile, which I also wanted to scrap. She went to look and couldn't find or access it. We had to come back again another day because the appraiser (maybe) had it locked up in his office. Finally, we came back to pick up the ring and obtain our scrap cash. Of course this was with a third person that I haven't met with before. But, I tried it on, all good and well - we left. Come day of the wedding, my mom cried, she loved it, etc. However, after wearing it the day of the wedding, two small diamonds got lost. Of course she was devastated, and didn't want me to take on the cost of this after paying for the original repurposing. Note that we did not have a crazy wedding nor is she the type of person to flair her hands around. She went upon herself to take it to a different jeweler who questioned the integrity of Henne given that they didn't put this "industry standard" coating on the rings to 1. Make them shinier 2. Lock in or seal the diamonds in. She had to pay another couple of hundred dollars out of pocket because of Henne's lack of professionalism and quality. I personally will never go back to Henne for any repurposing needs. They did not make this process easy or fun in any way (which was supposed to be a nice surprise for my mother) nor did I feel like my valuable items were in safe hands.

At that time, I was looking for a 15 year anniversary ring for my wife. Stacey found us a diamond that was second to none. My wife picked out one of Stacey's amazing halo settings and within a few days, my wife was happily wearing it! And due to a loss of my wife's original engagement ring, we were in the market for a replacement. Stacey worked directly with our insurance company to maximize their payout. She did a great job and got an additional $2,100 more than I was able to squeeze out of them. Of course, my wife desired to upgrade. Once again, Stacey found us an amazing GIA certified diamond that is stunning! We again chose one of Stacey's settings and it is beautiful. Between these two rather large purchases my wife has picked up a few other pieces. Don't forget to have her put you on the mailing lists. Some pretty good deals.

My buddy alway bragged about Yuriy's so I thought it would be worth the walk. I told him what I had been looking at and he told me he could deliver it, and cheaper than the shops at the Clark building. He didn't even know what I was previously quoted and he delivered a beautiful ring for less than what other jewelers were asking. Next, I wanted a unique gift for my wife. I went in with an extremely vague request: Skulls and black diamonds. Within a few minutes he had an idea and a few days later, he sent me a stunning rendering of the ring and I loved it. Within a couple weeks she had the most unique ring I've seen and went above and beyond the render. Yuriy has gained my loyalty with his honesty, creativity, and dependability.

When you own a piece of quality jewelry it must not only be handled with care but also properly serviced. In my case my basic Cartier watch was overdue for a battery replacement. I brought the watch over to the store last week and due to Co-Vid 19 guidelines had to leave the watch for 3 days before the watchmaker could inspect it and advise me if any other work needed done on it. I heard back from them yesterday and was told that the battery was all that was necessary and I could pick it up at my convenience. I stopped over there to get it and interacted with some of the nicest sales staff I ever met. I was also interested in purchasing a pearl necklace. My saleslady named Leslie took the time to explain the care of pearls and how they must be treated differently than diamonds. I was interested in a single pearl pendant on 18k white gold chain. The one she showed me was simple and yet elegant enough for my needs. I took my time practicing with the clasp which worked well. Leslie took the time to address all my concerns and how to protect my little investment. I went ahead with my purchase and was given not only an instruction book but a polishing cloth for the pearl itself. I was told that whenever I needed it they would be happy to clean and inspect the chain. I should note that there is no pressure when it comes to buying. If you aren't ready for any reason then you can forgo the sale. They have a limited return policy which is on the back of your invoice should you decide to buy. If you are making a high end investment they have promotions through Synchrony bank which you can pay over time. I was also happy to learn that some of existing jewelry could be cleaned and inspected by their jeweler even if I hadn't bought the piece there. When it comes to care of fine jewelry I prefer that it is cleaned and inspected at the store to insure that nothing is loose. They can either repair on the premises or send it out accordingly. Since I don't know if designer houses are currently open due to the pandemic I told them that I would wait until things get better before bringing in what few pieces I have that needed looked at. Currently the same procedure is required. You must leave your jewelry at their shop for three days before someone will look at it. Under normal circumstances they can do that on the same day. This location is in Sewickley and they have their own parking lot. Their other location is in Squirrel Hill. Either location will be more than happy to services your fine jewelry needs.
