    Flawless repair
    Miguel P.

    Let me start off by saying how great the service was here! I was at Dave and busters on a Saturday afternoon and was doing some shopping around the block. My girlfriend recently had my gold rope necklace repaired but some of the links ended up breaking again. I tried to do a home repair and miserably failed lol After mentioning the above His first question was "did you sleep with it on?" I immediately told him I did lol and he recommended I no longer do that to keep the necklace in good condition as this specific type is known to be fragile. I really appreciated the insight on how to maintain it, because the previous shop that my girlfriend had it repaired at never mentioned any precautions to take. I also had a second necklace that needed to be repaired that I've been holding on for so long. It was a gift I received as a child and I was curious if it was solid gold or plated so I asked if he could verify. He was quick to confirm it was gold which I appreciated. Before leaving I asked how long the repair would take as I was in no rush and he mentioned it would be a few days which I was completely ok with. By Tuesday I received a call from him notifying that both repairs were completed! He also mentioned he did a little extra soldering and cleaning of the chains which spoke volumes to me as far as service goes. I will definitely be back in case of another repair, or if I need some new bling! Thanks again Sir!

    clasp never closed after spending thousands on this piece.

    Absolutely Horrible Experience - Beware! From November 2024 to April 2025, I had one of the worst customer service experiences of my life with The Jewelry Doctor. I brought in three items: one charm to be replaced, one ring to be repaired, and another to be resized. What should have been a simple job turned into six months of lies, delays, and stress. Every time I went to pick up my items, I was met with new excuses and stories. He kept promising the work was almost done, but nothing ever was. Out of the four tasks I paid for, only one was completed--and even that item came back damaged. He resized a ring that didn't need resizing, returned it in poor condition, and one of the diamonds was missing. He also changed the prices on three of the four items without warning. When I finally lost patience and pushed back, the owner became rude and threatening, to the point where I felt scared and had to leave the store. It was that bad. Eventually, I had no choice but to take him to court and I WON. But did we really??? Still, I was left with a damaged item and months of wasted time and stress. Please save yourself the trouble, do not trust this business.

    We are from midwest. Owner reminds me of my midwest people, honest and straight forward also nice. I went to 5 yep 5 different places to get my watch fixed. He did it for under 20 bucks. We will be back Sir!

    The watch on the right needed new batteries in the watch on the left needed batteries and a new gasket for the back, thanks again watch Dr

    I found a doctor to be professional and timely, his prices for watch repairs, or far beyond reasonable. To the point to where I dropped off my second watch for Repair without the fear of being taken advantage of. If anyone ask me if I know a good repair place I know exactly where I'm going to send them.

    Been coming here for years to get my watch batteries replaced. Yes, I love watches and have too many. Anyway, since I have the iwatch, my other watches don't get used, hence the replacement. William, the owner, has been nothing but awesome. He's professional, friendly and best of all, has same day service, depending on the time u arrive. He has a safe to keep ur valuables locked up, in the event, it won't be ready until the next day. William has been in business for over 39 years. I had the pleasure of meeting his daughter, Lauren, tonight; whom is equally as nice as he is. If u need replacement or jewelry repair, come see William. He's actually cheaper than most.

From beginning to end, my experience was wonderful. From the moment I stepped into NGY Jewelry, I was greeted by the attentive, welcoming staff. The first woman asked if I wanted my wedding/engagement rings to be cleaned. I politely declined and continued to look around. After the second woman asked me to clean my rings, I accepted, and wow, were my rings bright and shiny again. That cleaning was much-needed and complimentary. Terry was amazing! She helped me and answered all my questions. I wanted a classic tennis bracelet with five carat natural diamonds, four prongs, seven inches in length, D-G color grade, and slightly included clarity. I knew what I wanted, but I had been looking for the past few months at other jewelry stores for it with no luck. With Terry's assistance, I left with the most beautiful tennis bracelet. My husband bought me a tennis bracelet with 4.84 carats, four prongs, seven inches, F/G color, and very slightly included. It was a little too long for me, so she was able to take a link off at no extra cost and it was finished in less than 30 minutes. My bracelet is such a timeless (stunning) piece that I can wear every day by itself or stacked with my other bracelets. I'm just in awe of its beauty and can't believe it's mine. I'm happy I was able to find my bracelet here and support a family-owned business. They care about the happiness of their customers and it was apparent today. Clean and welcoming environment, efficient, friendly service, and staff who are knowledgeable, well-informed about jewelry... if you're in the Orange County area, please come and check this jewelry store out for yourself. I will definitely be a repeat customer and come back for more pieces.

It came with an appraisal stating a value of $14,000. Shortly after, I returned to have the ring resized and was told they also buy gold and jewelry. I brought in additional items and was given store credit. Later, I returned to use the remaining credit and was told by the owner that I had no credit left and would have to pay again. There was no clear record provided, no transparency, and no effort to resolve the discrepancy. I was essentially told the credit didn't exist anymore, and I had no documentation to challenge it at the time. In 2026, I scheduled an appointment to sell the same ring back to them. I clearly stated on the phone that I was bringing in a ring originally purchased from their store. When I arrived, they inspected it along with the appraisal, then told me they were not buying diamonds due to market conditions and lab-grown diamonds affecting resale value. This should have been communicated when I made the appointment. Instead, I wasted time going in for a meeting that should never have been scheduled. Overall, my experience with this business has been inconsistent, poorly communicated, and unprofessional. While they do carry attractive jewelry, I personally do not trust their business practices or transparency.

But I also don't want other people to go through what my husband and I experienced. My husband and I purchased my engagement ring and both of our wedding bands here. We were excited because we believed we were buying a real diamond engagement ring and gold wedding bands. Sledge told us it was a diamond, and it was also written on our receipt. I wore that ring every day, took our engagement photos with it, and made so many special memories leading up to our wedding. A few days before our wedding, we went back to have our rings cleaned since Sledge had told us he offered free cleanings. I even brought our receipt just in case he needed proof that we had purchased the rings there. He looked at my ring and commented that it was really dirty. Then he suddenly said, "This isn't a diamond." My husband and I actually laughed at first because we thought he was joking. We knew what we had paid for, and our receipt clearly stated it was a diamond. But then he tested it with a diamond tester again and repeated that it was not a diamond, it was cubic zirconia. We were completely shocked. We had paid over $1,000 for what we believed was a diamond ring, only to be told it was actually a stone worth a fraction of that. To make matters worse, this happened just days before our wedding. When he looked at our receipt, he admitted that he had sold us a diamond. Yet instead of taking responsibility or offering a solution, he suggested that someone must have removed the stone from my ring and replaced it without me noticing. He even suggested it could have been a housekeeper. I'm 22 years old. At the time, I lived alone and absolutely did not have a housekeeper. My ring was dirty because I never took it off. The suggestion that someone secretly swapped the stone was honestly insulting. To this day, I don't know whether we were scammed or whether a mistake was made somewhere along the way. What I do know is that we left feeling devastated, confused, and without any real resolution. My husband and I were just starting our lives together, and spending over $1,000 was a huge investment for us. We chose to shop small because we wanted to support a local business, but this experience left us heartbroken. I'm sharing this not out of spite, but because I think others deserve to know what happened to us. If you purchase jewelry here, I strongly recommend having it independently verified as soon as possible. I truly hope no one else has to experience what we did.
