Testimonials for Susan's Jewelry Repairs
I highly recommend Susan to repair any jewelry you have that needs fixing so you can wear it again.... Susan is personable & helpful. She also is reasonable in her pricing & completes your repair in a timely manner.

I've known Susan for several years, having met her in a class that she was teaching. Since then, I've been taking my own jewelry to her for repairs and having her design and make custom jewelry for me. I've brought her a variety of jewelry to repair and her work is always beautiful, impeccably skilled, done in a timely manner and prices are very reasonable. She can advise on various ways to repair and what the resulting look will be. Bringing in and picking up is easy and convenient.
