They suggested I have it assessed with their goldsmith and I agreed. When the assessment came back, the goldsmith said the entire head had to be replaced. The price: $600. I took my ring to a private jeweler/gemologist for another assessment. He looked at my ring and said the damaged prong could be repaired and the others were in good condition. The price for the repaired prong; $45. Fast forward 2024. I notice a different prong tip missing, take the same ring in for assessment & am told the tip was missing & another looked "weak". It is sent to the goldsmith and am told the entire head had to be replaced - again. Price: $600. I take the ring to Ambassador and am told repair of the damaged prong & the weak prong would be $60. Total replacement of entire head $140. Work complete in 7 days. I'm not certain as to why the vast difference in cost. Ambassador has a 5 star review and friendly service. I try to bring business to family owned establishments, but I'm not returning to this one. Perhaps Thigpen should consider using a repair service with more reasonable prices. A Google search will reveal the average cost of repair of a prong is $45-$75.

Stopped in and was only asked if I had more shopping to do. After about 15 minutes my watch was ready to be worn. So, if you have a watch that you aren't wearing because of whatever reason, check these guys out. I have been in multiple times over the years, they also do battery installs, and i think they still do lifetime batteries. Check them out, the value might surprise you.

Very nice jeweler in the business strip behind Gaslight Theater…read more I came in to see about this faux pearl necklace of my wife's who received it from her late mother. It was discolored. Jack was professional, very friendly, and informative. He gave me a jar of their pearl cleaner. Gave. He has a wonderful personality. This jeweler has several collectables, too. Porcelain dolls, trains, etc. and also importantly, coins. They have a numismatist Tuesdays through Saturdays and do appraisals with offer to buy. I find this jeweler to be very helpful and friendly. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!
