Knock and Margie lets you in. If you work or live near Fort Street Mall--convenient place to change your batteries and watch bands. I recently changed the battery on five watches. And two bands. She discounts the battery fee for multiple watches. Keep your little receipt ticket. If you lose it, she has a book you sign for receipt of your item. The business is in the Merchant Street side of Pioneer Plaza. There are dining establishments in Pioneer Plazas ground floor, so combine your drop off and pick up with meal/coffee pick up. read more

Margie's Jewelers - Replaced my broken band, $30 - Jewelry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

If you are searching for a quality jewelry store and also one that offers repair and custom designing, Margie's Jewelers in downtown Honolulu is the place to go. Based on positive past experiences to buy jewelry, we decided to take in several pieces in to have repaired or custom designed. One was a 14K gold thin bangle (Ming's piece) that was cut and needed to be re-soldered. Another was a 14K earring that I wanted to turn into a pendant, since I only had one side (lost the other side years ago). The other order was transforming two loose beautiful fresh water pink pearls into earrings. She did a great job and have been wearing my new pendant daily! Margie is the owner and is very patient, professional, and experienced. The store hours are limited and restricted to only daytime, so it's best to call in advance to confirm shop will be open. Parking on a weekday can be a challenge with paid parking in surrounding buildings and street parking if luck is on your side. read more

Short version: I highly recommend Margie's Jewelers for her customer care, her friendliness, her service orientation, and her ability to get things done that other folks can't. Also - if you're in the Honolulu area - she's got a great, convenient location right on Fort Street Mall. In particular in this case I'd been looking for the Casio 40th Anniversary Back to the Future collaboration. Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to get one online as the bots and the flippers have been nabbing it every time it's reposted for sale. And I just fundamentally didn't want to reward a flipper by buying it for 3 times list price on eBay. I went to Margie's and figured it couldn't hurt to ask if she'd be able to order one, since she's a Casio dealer. Honestly, when she told me she could, I was skeptical. But after just a couple weeks of waiting she gave me a call and I ran right over - she'd gotten it! You simply cannot find one online, it's generally only available with exorbitant pricing from flippers, but Margie had managed to procure one just as she promised and at the fair retail value - amazing! I think this was the first time I'd gone to Margie, but I'll definitely be going back for future purchases and servicing - so great to have someone like this right in downtown Honolulu! read more

Margie's Jewelers is located in the Pioneer Plaza on Fort Street Mall right next to the Security's desk close to Merchant Street. I've been bringing my watches here for years to change the battery. If you bring 1 watch, it's $8...bring 2 or more, it's $6 each. You leave it there and they'll give you a pick up ticket. You'll receive a call when it's ready which may be a week or less. So convenient...love it! A few days ago, I dropped off my Baby-G watch that has 2 batteries ($12)...they had changed it in Feb. of this year. Went to pick it up and was told they changed the batteries and didn't charge me! Thank you, Margie! Just wanted to mention...a couple of years ago, I brought in a wall clock because it wasn't working. Margie mentioned that the cost may be about $35. When I went to pick it up, she said they changed the operating system and charged me $30...less than the estimate! This place is so AWESOME! read more

Service: Soldering Metal: Sterling Silver Came in to get a charm put onto a connector bail for my charm bracelet. The charm had a soldered jump ring so I couldn't connect the two pieces myself. I had gone to several different jewelry stores to see if they could do it but all of them quoted me 2 1/2 weeks to a month since they had to send it to a mainland company! I found Margie's Jewelers on Yelp and decided to come check ti The owner was very friendly and gave me time estimate quote and price which was way quicker and cheaper than the other jewelry places. Since I work in town, the location is very convenient. When I went to pick it up, it was faster than I thought and cheaper than the quote~ it looks great! Now I can rep my football team even though the season is coming to an end. #flyeaglesfly read more

My boyfriend recently proposed with a ring that originally belonged to his great grandmother. I was over the moon but realized the ring was a bit too small for me. His mother suggested we take the ring to Margie's to resize because she had gotten her rings resized here in the past and trusted their expertise. When we got there, Margie was incredibly sweet and patient with my fiance and I while we weighed our options between resizing or having the diamond moved to a whole new ring. We decided to move the diamond and Margie helped me to pick out the perfect band for me. She gave us a discount on the new ring and even paid for our parking when she found out we parked in the wrong parking structure. We were told that the ring would take 7-10 days but we got it back in 5. She also returned the old ring so that my fiance could keep it as a family momento. The ring is perfect and I am extremely happy. Highly recommend! read more

I needed to change the batteries on a couple of my watches. Margie's is THE place to come for your watch batteries needs.

HURRAY to finding a new go-to place to replace my watch batteries! Located in downtown, on Fort Street Mall near the crosswalk to Topa Finance Tower is Margie's Jewelers. I walked over and dropped off 2 watches that had dead batteries. They had me fill out a slip with my name and number then ripped off the stub for when I claim the watches tomorrow. Tomorrow came and my watches were neatly wrapped in plastic pouches in a paper envelope with the current time set! Fast turn around, friendly, professional service, and reasonable prices. Go to Margie's when you're out of time! [100 Yelp Review Challenge 2018: 7/100] read more

I was worried about my Rolex getting water inside of the face of the watch! I called 3 dealers in town and they said they would need to send it out, send it to NYC and the shortest time given for me to get back my watch was 3 weeks! Yikes! To my rescue Margie said to please bring my watch in as soon as possible so she can have her watchmaker take care of it! I rushed down, she took my watch and assured me that everything will be ok! To my delight she called me a few days later to let me know that my watch was was taken cared of and in great condition. The watchmaker also told her about my watch having a sapphire crystal vs plastic which was better than the original plastic. Margie comes from a very reputable jewelry background and I trust her implicitly! There's very few jewelry stores that I would trust with my things. Anyone needing any watch or jewelry repair just know she is the best and most trusted in town! Also while your there you need to also shop her jewelry collection! I will definitely return regularly and also recommend Margie's to clients, friends, coworkers and family! Join me on recommending Margie's and also supporting local! Mahalo Margie! read more

I've had this Wenger watch for so long and live it because it has such a classic look and because I have a narrow wrist and the face fits me well. Sadly the watch was definitely showing its age, mostly the band as I had cuaght it on something before so it didn't quite fit as well and the snap buckle was so loose it would open at any moment. I finally decided to just replace the band, but it was such a challenge trying to find the original band so I took it to Margie who took a look a it and said that she could easily find a band that would fit. But before she did that she suggested I leave it with her to see what Glenn could do to make it fit better and tighten the snap. Well needless to say if you have read my reviews about the type of business they run here - my watch FITS GREAT and doesn't pop open whenever I move my wrist around! When you find a local owned business with such pride in their workmanship and more importantly shows great care for their customers..... Well you keep going back. read more

My husband bought me a gold chain bracelet and it was way too big for me to wear without the possibility of it falling off. I needed to find someone who could remove an inch off of it and Margie's was perfect. Affordable, quick, and kept us informed throughout the process. I would definitely come back here for any other jewelry needs. read more

When I was in need of jewelry repair, I asked a good friend who her family uses. She immediately recommended Margie's Jewelers. It took me 6 months to get there (me? procrastinate? I'll tell you about that later ;-) ), but I'm glad I went. First off, since I work weekdays, I was really glad to know that Margie's has Saturday hours. Weekday parking Downtown is a pain...but not on Saturdays!! The store is located right on the Merchant Street edge (mauka/Ewa) of Fort Street Mall and parking is easy to find on Bishop Street. Both times I went, I parked right outside of Longs. Bonus: there's at Starbucks conveniently on your way from Bishop to Fort Street! Margie is really nice, and she looked at my necklace that needed repairing, estimated my cost and let me know that she'd inform me if it cost more or less. I also asked if they do other repairs, such as Rolex refurbishment (as my family was looking into that, and was told by another store here that Rolexes have to be shipped to the Mainland). Margie has a Rolex trained repair technician that is local! Do not be fooled like we were. Margie let me know that my repair would take about a week, so I was very surprised to get her call 4 days later, telling me that it was done. I picked up my necklace, and it's as good as new. I'm not sure if I read another review, or if someone told me, but Margie used to be affiliated with Kakesako Brothers, a well-liked, longtime Downtown jeweler that unfortunately closed in the '90's, if I recall correctly. That made me feel very comfortable with her. It's been a while since I've had a jewelry shop that I trusted for repairs--the one I used to use closed about 5 years ago. I'm glad to have a new go-to place! read more

I've now come to Margie's on three separate occasions, the most recent being for just a simple watch link removal. I strolled thinking that I'll tell them I need a couple links removed and it'll be available for pick up tomorrow, WRONG! Glen stopped what ever he was working on did it right that second, I was out of there in less than a couple of minutes. Prices: Battery change, $8 or $6 per watch for 2 or more watches (next morning pick up) Watch link removal/add, $5 read more

I'm a huge fan! I've been putting off taking these watches to get fixed (battery changed and some weird screw keeps coming out of one). Just from walking in the door it's a very nice little store, clean and well kept. Tomorrow when I pick up my last two watches I will get their names but looks like Margie and Mr. Margie that are working in the store themselves. Extremely nice people, I felt so much more at ease after telling her about my situation. First great tip, $8.00 for 1 watch battery change or $6 for 2 watches. There is a little sign on the center display that tells you this so its no secret. I also needed my spare car key battery changed but major problem with the screw being warped so they kept it over night and drilled the screw out and changed battery. So happy to finally have that out of the way! Total bill was under $20! Since I had more watches to be fixed I brought them in today and will pick them up tomorrow! I assume typically the service is a next day thing but common sense tells me that it would take longer for things other than batteries or screws so for those that have selective reading this is a warning to not expect overnight service EVERY SINGLE TIME. I truly love this place. I will be back again and again. They are so kind and provide great service in the heart of downtown! Check them out!!! read more

Ok found Chris O's review and since Margie's is within walking proximity of my office I decided to give it a try. Called first (Saturday) they were going to close at 11:30 (it was 11 am when I called). Margie says "ok, come on over, I will wait for you..." So I did. I liked Margie's gracious service attitude. I left a few watches and a few desk top clocks which required new batteries and a new watch needing to have links removed. Will update this post after I pick up my stuff on Monday! To this moment, I am a confirmed return customer. By the way, they are part of the original Kakesako Jewelers on Alakea Street. read more

They are quick and very friendly. You can get your watch re-sized while you wait (about 8 minutes to complete 2 links) or you can get your watch battery changed. You an easily miss this place as you go about your coffee run or your daily stroll around the block. But if you watch needs repair or changing.. this place is a great stop to get stuff done read more

Margie's is the best!! Margie is soo nice and the service is great. They keep track of their watch battery replacements. I had a watch that they had replaced the battery for. The battery lasted a little over a year. They replaced it for free. That's what you call great service and concern for their customers. read more

My wife and I purchased our wedding bands from Margie because we wanted something authentic from Hawaii. We live in NY and have never purchased jewelry from long distance before. However, Margie made the transaction as easy as possible. It was always easy to reach her by phone to discuss the details of our order. She kept us updated every step of the way on the progress too. We felt completely comfortable with Margie's professionalism and communication. When the finished product arrived in the mail, we were astounded by its quality. Every detail we specified had been completely addressed, and Margie was able to deliver the product on a tight timeline. We are so grateful to have been connected with Margie and we will definitely be doing business with her again. Highly recommend! read more

Margie is awesome! I looked high and low for an anniversary ring that I could afford. Margie did just that! My 3-stone diamond ring is stunning!!! She looked for diamonds and created a setting that was just beautiful. Affordable without sacrificing on quality! She will do her best to help you find what you're looking for. But make sure to call first before going down to her shop to make sure she's in. read more

Wonderful people! Helped me out a few times replacing watch batteries and are always fast and prices fair. Today they fixed my watch band and didn't even charge me for it. How nice! read more

If you have a water proof watch, it requires a special procedure and equipment to insure the seal. Margie knows exactly how to replace any type of watches (high to low end). This is the old school mom and pop kind of store which takes pride in their services. At $8 for a battery change, you are guaranteed personalized service and professional work. They request one hour to replace the battery. Give them a call before you stop by because the service man may or may not be working. Even though they are located in Fort Mall, I would recommend dropping off your timepiece and wait by enjoying a nice luncheon downtown. read more

I was very pleased with the overall service I received here. My watch issue: the face crystal popped out of its casing, and the misalignment allowed moisture to get into the watch. Fearing rusting of inner parts, I quickly took my watch here for repair. The watchmaker shaved down the crystal and resealed it with cement, dried my watch out under the heat lamps, and replaced the low quality battery that Sears put in (per the Watchmaker, the Sears replacement tends to leak). He even buffed out the scratches on the face crystal! Total cost to resolve my issue: $8. Sears had charged me $25 two weeks earlier for battery replacement. I received courteous treatment, and the well mannered, soft-spoken Watchmaker was thorough in describing the steps he took to resolve my issue and also explained areas of concern with my Armani watch. It would be hard to beat the price, customer service, and level of expertise of Margie's Jewelers. This is the only Watchmaker I will ever use for watch repairs/battery replacements. read more

Wife took my watches in to have the batteries replaced today and received them back same day. Tried them because of the yelp reviews and have to say they lived up to the comments about courteous service and fair prices. We will defiantly use them as a trusted shop and make our first stop with them while looking for new jewelry. Thank you very much ! read more

Overall, really happy with my experience here! My mom had been going to Kakesako for years and since they closed she has been going to Margie's. She suggested that I come here when I first began looking for an engagement ring. Margie was super helpful in explaining the various options and helping me to find exactly what I had in mind. I don't think she keeps a lot of rings in stock so whatever you choose is pretty much custom made. After I told Margie what I had in mind she had a wax mold made before we went ahead with the real thing. She also let me bring in a ring to get the right size so that I didn't have to ask my then girlfriend for her size. Margie gave me a really great price and the ring was ready in a couple weeks. It turned out even nicer then expected and my fiance was really happy with it! She also gets a lot of compliments about it. Definitely check out Margie's for any type of jewelry. You'll have a way better experience here then at those big retail jewelry stores! read more

Wow! How did I not hear of this place before? It took an actual person telling me to go here... not Yelp! First time that happened in a LONG time! Anyway, I had to fix my watch band because it was too big. Last time, I took my watch to Sears Ala Moana (I didn't know where else to go) and it costed me around $13. It wasn't much but that isn't an option anymore. So my coworker took me here when he had to get his watch battery changed and his watch polished. I brought my watch, thinking it would be a long tedious process. All in all, we took about 10 minutes because my coworker ended up talking to the owner for about a good 8 minutes while my watch was getting adjusted. It was an awesome deal at $5!!! WOW! The service was exceptional and they are really friendly. Fast forward a few more months, my other coworker wanted to change her batteries in her watches and I wanted to change a band and get another one fixed. SAgain, it was quick but we did leave my coworkers watches there overnight so they could change the batteries. The owner lady said she would call if there was a problem. She did call me again this morning to tell me there was a problem and explained that she would call when it's ready. Just a note, if you bring in 2 or more watches to get the batteries changed, it's only $6/watch. What a deal! I remember my dad (who doesn't care too much about coupons/deals) clipping coupons any time he saw the Sears coupon for watch repair/battery change. If only he found out about this place sooner!! All in all, i would definitely come here again. Margie (is that her name?) fixed my watch band (at no charge! only a simple problem) and adjusted my watch bands for a reasonable amount. I have some dead watches laying around and the next time I need to fix a bunch, I'll be sure to bring it here. I don't think you can beat the friendly people and fast service and even local small business! There was even a picture of Daniel Inouye... I mean seriously this place must be popular! I highly reccommend you coming here!! read more

So Happy a good family freind recommended Margie's Jeweler's when shopping for an engagement ring. Although she doesn't stock diamonds she is very trustworthy to look for the best quality in your price range. Margie not only made me feel confident she would look for the best quality diamond, but also gained my trust. Margie definitely set the bar for all jewelry purchases in the future. Margie will definitely get my future business without a doubt. If you are looking for transparency Margie is the only person you need. read more

My boyfriend was recently in a mosh pit. Hey, Yelp encourages you to get out of the house so don't judge :p In any case, his gold chain was pulled off of his neck. The has happened before. We went to a place in Ala Moana that was extremely pricey so this time we put some care into our choice. This place took 2 days and only charged us $1. read more

Thanks to the Yelpers for helping me find Margie's Jewelers. I knew Margie from Kakesakos time, but didn't know that she opened up her own shop. Glad I found her via the yelp family. I initially clicked on her listing on yelp as it was close to my office downtown, and the high ratings. Prices are more than reasonable, and service was excellent. I'd definitely recommend. read more

Needed a ring cut off since with all the hand washing, I'd developed an infection beneath it, and my knuckle is too swollen with arthritis to get it over it. They took great effort to cut through the very thick gold band, stopping when I indicated it was too painful. It was close quarters for them in the time of COVID19 but they were patient and kind. I had them resize the ring larger afterwards so I could give it to my daughter. It came out perfectly; I couldn't tell it had been cut at all. Thanks for such an excellent job. read more

The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and reliable, plus they have great prices. I went in to get links taken out of my new watch and they did it on the spot for only $5.00. Other places I called wanted a lot more and would take at least 3 days! They replaced a battery in my other watch for only $8.00! I recommend them highly. They have a customer for life with me! read more

I never noticed Margie's Jewelers until I was looking for a place on Yelp to change my dead watch batteries, and I passed through Pioneer Plaza at least once a week. Likes: Really convenient location if you work downtown. The lady was really friendly, and I was in and out of the store in a minute to drop off my watches. Service was quick because I came back the next day after 9AM and they even took out the condensation out of one of my watches. Price is really good ($6 a battery if you bring 2+ watches). Dislikes: When it comes to changing watch batteries and watch repair, none. I will definitely come back here for any watch-related maintenance. Way cheaper than Sears, and the service is quick and friendly. read more

Great work done by honest, friendly, artisans. I've brought 5-6 watches to them over the years and have always left confidently happy that the work was done with great care. $8 to change my watches batteries. $5 to shorten the length of a linked band. All done in 24 hours. Parking can be tricky, especially if you're just trying to pickup an item - but well worth the service. read more

Great experience getting a string of pearls restrung at Margie's. I called Margie's based off of a friend's recommendation and spoke with Margie about the approximate cost. I was told over the phone depending on the length and number of pearls a base estimate was $45 and up. I went in with the pearls I wanted restrung and a couple of other strands which had been lying around broken in my mom's drawer for years which we doubted were real and gave them to Margie to get her opinion on whether or not they were costume jewelry. She said she'd ask an associate since she couldn't tell right off the bat whether or not they were real or costume and then give me a call about restringing them. I got a call about a week later confirming my suspicions that they were most likely faux pearls. Margie asked if I wanted them restrung but I declined and decided to do my own craft project with the faux pearls. Which cost at least $40 for the materials(silk thread, tweezers, glue, etc.) When I picked up my restrung pearls the total cost came in just under $40. They cleaned up the tarnished silver clasp and the necklace looks as good as new! You can even make out the itty bitty Mikimoto stamp on the clasp. The necklace may not be worth much in the resale market, but it's definitely worth much more than the $40 I spent to restring them. They were an omiyage present from my great grandfather to my mother when she was in high school in the 1950's. I am very happy that I can wear an "heirloom" piece of jewelry which otherwise would be sitting in a drawer somewhere forgotten and unused. read more

Upon recommendation from several people I took my watch in for a complete overhaul. I got the watch back working and looking like new. Margie's prices are very fair, and includes a 1 year warranty. I took this same watch to another business to have the band re-sized. They charged me $95. Margie's price is $6. Thank you Margie! read more

Margie has been our jeweler for decades. From our engagement, wedding to anniversary pieces, the Kakesako family business has had their touch to our gems. Recently, I asked Margie (who now runs Margie's) to design a necklace piece as a keepsake of my canine soulmate, Rufus. It's a simple but exquisite silver piece "Rufus" with a diamond accent. I cried and felt Rufus saying now I'm wearing his 'Forever Doggie Tag.' Thank you Margie..... read more
