What Tampa does to jewelry
Salt water, sunscreen, pool chlorine and year-round wear are harder on jewelry here than in most of the country.
Chlorine and salt water
Pool chlorine attacks the alloys in white and yellow gold and makes prongs brittle. Bay and Gulf swimming leaves salt in settings. Both are why stones loosen faster here.
Jewelry repairSunscreen and humidity
Sunscreen and lotion build up under stones and dull them within weeks, and humidity gets into watch cases through worn gaskets.
Watch repair and batteriesHurricane season paperwork
After a storm, insurers want a current appraisal with photos and measurements. Most pieces people bring in have never been appraised or were appraised a decade ago.
AppraisalsFamily pieces moving down a generation
Tampa has a lot of retirees and a lot of estates. Inherited jewelry gets reset, split between siblings, or sold, and each needs an honest read on what it is.

Common questions
Do I need an appointment?
For repairs, batteries and quick questions, no. For engagement rings, custom design and appraisals, an appointment means the jeweler's time is set aside for you.
Is the work done in Tampa?
Yes. Repairs, sizing, stone setting and custom pieces are done at the bench on site. The only things sent out are specialty services like laser inscription or certain watch movements, and you're told before that happens.
How much is an engagement ring?
Whatever you decide. The honest answer is that the stone drives the price, and a jeweler can show you how size, color and clarity trade off against each other so you spend the budget where it shows. See engagement rings.
What areas do you serve?
Tampa and the surrounding communities in Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties. See the full service area list.
Do you buy jewelry?
Yes. Gold, platinum, diamonds, fine watches and estate pieces. You get the weight, purity and an offer explained in front of you, with no obligation to sell. See gold and diamond buying.
Talk to a jeweler
For a loose stone or an insurance deadline, call. For a ring, a custom piece or a question, the form works just as well.
