“Dear PoPville,

I was wondering if people had thoughts on a DC jeweler for general cleaning of engagement rings, inspection for issues and small repairs like tightening the posts on the setting. We’ve been here a long time and still can’t find a jeweler that takes less than a month for a general cleaning/inspection. Worse is that most shops don’t seem to want to take minor repairs on something they didn’t sell.”
